Yikes! I never in a million years thought I'd be eagerly reading conservative blogs. I'm not an official PUMA but I am one of those that has seen the mask fall off of the "progressive" face and what I see is disgusting. I'm one of the many disillusioned that has fallen into depression and completely confused about what I thought I knew...good guys/bad guys. And like many of us "racist" Obama doubters, I can no longer talk to my friends. The dishonesty and hatred that comes out of their mouths (and those fricken' email chains!) is damaging our relationships. One friend won't even speak to me anymore. I'm still wandering the desert but I feel better over here than over there for the moment. I despise what Obama and his mob represent and the way that they have behaved. I am ashamed of my former party. I can't imagine that anything good could come out of his possible presidency. But then I can't believe he's gotten this far....

Two Texans were on a trip to New York and stopped in a delicatessen for lunch. One of them noticed a woman at the next table, blue in the face and clearly choking.

The two Texans leapt from their seats. One grabbed the woman and hauled her up onto the table on all fours. The other pulled up her skirt, pulled down her panties, and licked each of the cheeks of her tush.

Of course, the woman was so shocked that she let out a scream, sending the plug of food that had been choking her flying across the room.

As she let out a torrent of swear words, one Texan turned to the other and said, "That Hind-Lick maneuver sure works swell, don't it?"

Hmmm.

Oh, yes indeed. It's a gradual process, though. The Progressives seem to be very good at convincing the softer-skulled that people like Clarence Thomas, George W. Bush and Sarah Palin are ignorant and stupid -- in the face of the plain fact that each of these people have out-achieved all but the tiniest handful of their fellow Americans.

On a related front, it was flabbergasting to see how self-proclaimed feminists rallied around a serial sexual harrasser and accused rapist, simply because they felt he offered some political clout for their ideology. How he avoided answering Juanita Broaderrick's charges is beyond me.

There is a hatred for America that now runs though it's veins.

They have been taught from birth that white Americans are the quintessential evil of the world, not only in our schools, but abroad. Many of these individuals are filled with hatred for America. One merely has to think of those around Obama who have prospered by preaching such nonsense. I think these people are close to 50% of the electorate, even if they profess otherwise.

another trick is to vacuum thoroughly, and then immediately remove the bag, spray the entry opening, then bag it into the trash. this evacuates many eggs larve, etc....

They're a sort of loose confederation of different groups with similar attitudes. It all got started when Howard Dean and the other Democrat Party grandees began publicly calling on Hillary Clinton to drop out of the primary race in the name of "party unity." Some guy (you can look up his name) started the "Party Unity, My Ass!" movement, and it quickly coalesced the anger of the mostly female supporters of Hillary into something like a political movement. But Hillary doesn't control it (though I am sure she wishes she did.)

Truthfully, I have little problem with it. For a "law" to have teeth, all three branches of government must agree to it: the legislators to enact it, the executives to enforce it, and the judiciary to punish breaches of it. What do you think would become of a law criminalizing driving any vehicle with a Mitsubishi engine?

That doesn't mean I disagree with you on the whole Chicago corruption aspect; I'm with you all the way on that. But why punish the tenants for their landlords' malfeasance? Must prospective tenants demand their landlords' books before signing a lease? If you were a landlord, would you show a prospective tenant your books, or would you laugh at him for making such a demand?

In faux Gothic font, of course. Now, I know that "88" is code for "heil (s)hitler" amongst the neo-nazis. On closer inspection, I saw that "88" was in fact "89", with the tail of the numeral 9 almost-but-not-quite joining the upper loop to form an "8".

On the front of the hoodie, was the word "Frankshivah" or something approaching that. The gothic font was so stylized it was hard to tell. Was I looking at a real-live neo-nazi, or some kind of poseur or partisan of some band that mocks real neo-nazis?

THE OBAMA-AYERS CONNECTION
By DICK MORRIS
In the best tradition of Bill Clinton's famous declaration that the answer to the question of whether or not he was having an affair with Monica depended on "what the definition of 'is' is," Barack Obama was clearly splitting hairs and concealing the truth when he said that William Ayers was "just a guy who lives in my neighborhood."
The records of the administration of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC), released last week by the University of Illinois, show that the Ayers-Obama connection was an intimate collaboration and that it led to the only executive or administrative experience in Obama's life.
After Annenberg's foundation offered several hundred million dollars to American public schools in the mid-'90s, Ayers applied for $50 million for Chicago. The purpose of his application was to secure funds to "raise political consciousness" in Chicago's public schools. After he won the grant, Ayers's group chose Obama to distribute the money. Between 1995 and 1999, Obama distributed the $50 million and raised another $60 million from other civic groups to augment it. In doing so, he was following Ayers's admonition to grant the funds to "external" organizations, like American Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) to pair with schools and conduct programs to radicalize the students and politicize them.
Reading, math and science achievement tests counted for little in the CAC grants, but the school's success in preaching a radical political agenda determined how much money they got.
Obama should have run screaming at the sight of Ayers and his wife, Bernadette Dohrn. Ayers has admitted bombing the U.S. Capitol building and the Pentagon, and his wife was sent to prison for failing to cooperate in solving the robbery of a Brink's armored car in which two police officers were killed. Far from remorse, Ayers told The New York Times in September 2001 that he "wished he could have done more."
Ayers only avoided conviction when the evidence against him turned out to be contained in illegally obtained wiretaps by the FBI. He was, in fact, guilty as sin.
That Obama should ally himself with Ayers is almost beyond understanding. The former terrorist had not repented of his views and the education grants he got were expressly designed to further them.
So let's sum up Obama's Chicago connections. His chief financial supporter was Tony Rezko, now on his way to federal prison. His spiritual adviser and mentor was the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, of "God damn America" fame. And the guy who got him his only administrative job and put him in charge of doling out $50 million is William Ayers, a terrorist who was a domestic Osama bin Laden in his youth.
Even apart from the details of the Obama/Ayers connection, two key points emerge:
a) Obama lied and misled the American people in his description of his relationship with Ayers as casual and arm's-length; and
b) Obama was consciously guided by Ayers's radical philosophy, rooted in the teachings of leftist Saul Alinksy, in his distribution of CAC grant funds.
Since Obama is asking us to let him direct education spending by the federal government and wants us to trust his veracity, these are difficulties he will have to explain in order to get the votes to win.
We will want to know what kind of president he would make. The fact that, within the past 10 years, he participated in a radical program of political education conceptualized by an admitted radical terrorist offers no reassurance.
Why did Obama put up with Ayers? Because he got a big job and $50 million of patronage to distribute to his friends and supporters in Chicago. Why did he hang out with Rev. Wright? Because he was new in town, having grown up in Hawaii and Indonesia and having been educated at Columbia and Harvard, he needed all the local introductions he could get to jump-start his political career. Why was he close to Rezko? Because he funded Obama's campaigns and helped him buy a house for $300,000 less than its value.

OK, if the bank lends money with the house as collateral, then the owner has no responsible. to pay as long as the renter has good faith. See how many loans will now be available in Chicago.

Or:

The landlord loses the property in a foreclosure, the bank takes over the lease. The tenants pay their rent to the bank. When the bank finds a buyer to recover their loss in the bad mortgage, the tenants start paying rent to the new owners instead.

The original owner loses both income and credit rating. The bank makes as much recovery as they can, which may or may not match what they could do with no tenants in the property (the only wrinkle I see).

No eviction is necessary against tenants who have kept up their end of the deal.

re: #105 srb1976

I'm sure I'm way behind the discussion by now, but I never had any luck with frontline at all, even when it was new. We tried K9 advantix this year and had great luck with it though

We'd always used Advantage, just for fleas (no tick meds, etc.) but decided to try Frontline once on our (then) year old outside dog. It made him froth at the mouth. Vet said he was OK but we of course went back to Advantage and it worked fine, about once a year, if the fleas got too bad we'd give the indoor dog (the one who recently passed on) a Capstar but for the most part, Advantage worked just fine.

re: #35 tommoon
Hi tommoon - from your link "Dart says he's concerned that many of the people being evicted are renters who were unaware that their landlords have been failing to pay their mortgages. He says his deputies have no way of knowing whether they're removing someone who has defaulted on a loan or someone who has been faithfully paying rent."
Smooth - guess what Sheriff Dart - a forclosure order is an order of a COURT. And if the Landlord in fact hasn't been paying then the COURT determines he is no longer allowed to own the building and if he doesn't own the building, the tenants have NO LAWFUL RIGHT to remain in the building because they didn't rent their apartments from whomever the new owner (buyer at foreclosure sale) is.
What a yutz.

Barney Frank is a POS.

Frank: GOP Criticism of Housing Crisis is Aimed at Poor Blacks

BOSTON — Rep. Barney Frank said Monday that Republican criticism of Democrats over the nation's housing crisis is a veiled attack on the poor that's racially motivated.

The Massachusetts Democrat, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, said the GOP is appealing to its base by blaming the country's mortgage foreclosure problem on efforts to expand affordable housing through the Community Reinvestment Act.

They get to take things out on poor people," Frank said at a mortgage foreclosure symposium in Boston. "Let's be honest: The fact that some of the poor people are black doesn't hurt them either, from their standpoint. This is an effort, I believe, to appeal to a kind of anger in people."

Frank also dismissed charges the Democrats failed on their own or blocked Republican efforts to rein in the mortgage companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The federal government recently took control of both entities.

House Minority Leader John Boehner of Ohio called Frank's remarks "a lame, desperate attempt to divert Americans' attention away from the Democratic party's obstruction of reforms that would have reined in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and helped our nation avoid this economic crisis."

"Congressman Frank should retract his ridiculous statements and start taking responsibility for the role he and other top Democrats played in putting Main Street Americans in this mess," Boehner said.

And on that cheerful note, I'm outta here - got a long, early day tomorrow.
I hope you all have a GREAT EVENING/EARLY MORNING and that I get the chance to see you down the road.

Goodnight, all.

The sheriff will not serve the foreclosure notice to evict. The tenants stay and pay rent to the old owner. The bank loses all. The warrants has to be served for the bank to take into custody the property.

re: #123 realwest

I actually know someone who was in that situation, a friend of my wife's. She paid her rent every month, but the landlord was not paying the mortgage. She showed up one day to an eviction notice. Pretty disgusting situation.

I just had to reassure a coworker that the drug Burundanga has to be ingested to have a debilitating effect. She got this scare E-Mail. Why doesn't everyone who has E-Mail know about Snopes?

Thanks. You made the explanation so much simpler.

re: #126 tommoon

Yep. Nonsense. Particularly since another process must be initiated to get the tenants out. It is the landlord who is served for evictions.

re: #126 tommoon
Hey tommoon - I really gotta get some sleep here - big appointment with radiation oncologist tomorrow, but I'm telling you that if the Sheriff doesn't serve the foreclosure notice then the sheriff is in contempt of court because the Warrant of eviction follows or is concurrent with the Warrant of Forclosure and a failure to serve those warrants is in fact a violation of court rules, orders and proceedings - and btw, in NYC, if the Sheriff is too busy, courts allow the banks to have their OWN process servers serve the orders of Foreclosure and Eviction.
Good night!

That stinks. Here I've been using 88 for good luck out on the track. At least in Asian culture its good luck and not nazi-fied. :(

Oh and hello, new lizard here. :)

re: #90 Alberta Oil Peon

re: #123 realwest

a forclosure order is an order of a COURT.

The court also needs the cooperation of both the legislative and the executive. See my comment #75 above. The legislators may pass a law, and the judges may be ready to convict, but if the executives refuse to haul anyone before the court for violating that law, then said "law" is powerless.

re: #123 realwest

Correct. The tenants in such a case are legally called "tenants at will" and may be evicted by court action if the owner wishes. The judge typically orders that the tenants be served written notice and given reasonable time to vacate, such as 30 days.

Realwest,

Keep doing good my friend.

re: #120 gop_patriot

LOL!

They went out of their way in that article to describe the gun in a manner that made it really scary sounding, didn't they?

It's not clear to me if it's a BB gun, or something that shoots a larger steel ball. It evidently propels the balls with enough force to draw blood, if the story can be taken at face value. I can readily believe the poor fellow could have been blinded had one of the pellets pierced his eye.

I agree the story exaggerates the deadliness of the weapon, and may also draw the false conclusion that the perpetrator was set off by the Obama shirt, when it may have simply been a case of naked racism that needed no trigger. Also rather telling is the evident blind faith that the victim of this crime has in Obama.

As an aside, we recently had a gang-related shooting in Calgary, Alberta. A drive-by shooting, IIRC, involving handguns (heavily restricted in Canada). An innocent passer-by, a young man recently immigrated from Brazil was shot shot in the head and permanently blinded by his injuries. I saw a clip on the TV news, and he is making a remarkable recovery, with the support of his family and girlfriend. he will never regain his sight, but he is adjusting and adapting to a life without vision.

re: #60 pat

There is a hatred for America that now runs though it's veins. White leftists, Blacks, Mexicans, Muslims, many Asiatics, EuroTrash.

Pat, that isn't particularly constructive commentary there. I know more than a handful patriotic 'blacks and mexicans' that certainly don't hate America, even if the former are voting for Obama because of identity politics. Many latinos are socially conservative and are well aware that the problems in South and Central America have roots in Marxism and chronically corrupt leadership.

The Asian population of America is largely conservative. I recently just saw a Filipino colleague of mine retire whom had immigrated to our country as a young man and then served 26 years in the US Navy, including in wars in South East Asia.

From my anecdotal experience, the majority of Europeans here are Eastern Europeans, and are also far from being America haters. On the contrary they are probably some of our most staunchly patriotic immigrants.

I even went to college with some at least nominally Muslim Lebanese boys that I couldn't honestly describe as being haters of our country. Ones that were aghast at their country being torn to pieces by Islamists, and were glad to have a refuge from regressive barbarians.

I understand what you were saying, but the way that it was phrased was pretty over the top, and can definitely come across in a way that I doubt that you actually intended.

Why Wachcovia bit the dust

[Link: www.pittsburghlive.com...]
The Soros Syndrome
By Ed Lasky
Sunday, October 5, 2008
Wachovia, one of America's major banks, has seen its stock price plummet over the last few months and will be purchased either by Citibank for the proverbial song -- a few dollars a share for a stock that sold at more than $50 a share late last year -- or by Wells Fargo at a premium.
What brought about the wreckage of Wachovia?

----------------------------------------------

I guess it's not missing now?

[Link: www.digitaljournal.com...]
The Wachovia Debacle And The Missing Saturday Night Live Skit

Saturday Night Live produced a skit that slammed, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, and Democrats for opposing reform of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. They also skewered Herb and Marion Sandler as predatory lenders. The SNL video has mysteriously disappeared.
Herb and Marion Sandler were co-chief executives for Golden West Financial Corp., and were once hailed as "voices of reason" as they guided their company and it's subsidiary, World Savings, safely through the 1980's and 1990's, when thousands of other savings-and-loan failed.

In October 2006, after 40 years of running what was once referred to as an "endearing mom-and-pop shop" they sold their business to Wachovia in a $24.3 billion deal as USA Today reports.

This past weekend, Saturday Night Live (SNL), produced a skit dealing with the massive bailout for Wall Street that has just been passed by the U.S. Senate, House and signed by President Bush.

In the skit, SNL cast skewered Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Democratic Congressman Barney Frank who is the Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee for opposing reforms regarding Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and toward the end of the skit cast members played Herbert and Marion Sandler, with the screen shot showing the caption "people who should be shot" as well as George Soros, with the caption "Multi-Billionaire hedge Fund Manager, Owner Democratic Party."

Herb Sander spoke to the Associate Press the morning after seeing the SNL skit which derided them as "predatory lenders" who had duped borrowers and Wachovia, After seeing the skit replayed on the Internet, Sandler was described as "seething," about how he and his wife were portrayed.

More information about the Sandlers can be found at New York Times Magazine from a March 9, 2008 piece called "Self-Made Philanthropists."

Although many SNL skits are available at Hulu and other video uploading sites, this particular skit was uploaded, was shown and linked to, but has mysteriously disappeared and now when someone clicks the link they are greeted with a message saying "Unfortunately, this video is no longer available but here are other related videos to watch," and underneath are clips from other SNL skits.

The video was captured and uploaded by Pat Dollard, who declares "yank this b*tches".

Conservative author, blogger and syndicated columnist Michelle Malkin has painstakingly transcribed the whole skit with screenshots at her blog MichelleMalkin.com.

Others interested in why this specific video was yanked off of every video upload site it was put on are claiming that NBC is also deleting questions about the bailout skit from their messageboards.

B.C. man says he won deadly fight with black bear
Updated: Wed Oct. 08 2008 16:41:32

Darcy Wintonyk, ctvbc.ca

A B.C. man found himself in a deadly fight with a black bear, and had to kill the large animal to escape with his life. The attack left him with deep gashes in his head that required more than 60 stitches.

Jim West, 45, was walking with his two dogs near 70 Mile House -- about halfway between Kamloops and Williams Lake -- when his dogs reacted to a noise in the woods.

"All of a sudden I heard a 'whoof' on my right and I looked over and there was a bear six feet away from me," he said.

West knew right away he was in serious danger.

"Just one look at that bear and I knew she meant business," he said.

"The bear rose at the same time as my foot went up. I'm not sure if it was her teeth or her claws that caught me in my upper lip."

That's when West was knocked down. He rolled onto his stomach and clasped his hands around his neck to protect his throat.

"She then tore a chunk out my scalp, bit me in my left arm and ribs," West said.

The Caribou man credits his dogs for drawing the bear away, giving him a chance to defend himself. When he turned to stand up, the bear -- apparently a mother -- swatted him in the right arm and bit him again. Knowing he would likely die unless he put up a fight, the bleeding West summoned the strength to get on his feet and picked up a stick about as thick as his arm.

"The bear was running at me full tilt," he said. "I swung the stick and hit her right between the ears and it stopped her dead in her tracks.

West says the initial hit stunned the bear, but he realized the animal would attack again if he didn't keep up the fight.

"I knew if I went down a third time I wouldn't get up again," said West.

"I pretended I was driving spikes with a sledgehammer, and I didn't stop until that bear went down and I saw blood coming out her nose."

After West crushed the bear's skull, he dropped the stick and wrapped his shirt around his head to stop the profuse bleeding. He then walked to a nearby lodge, where he was taken to hospital for dozens of stitches.

Matter of survival

Conservation officers found the bear three hours later, and confirmed the bear's injuries. West says fighting back was a matter of survival.

"Most people would be so scared that they would just stay on the ground and let the bear chew on them, but I have a bit of a temper that I try to stay on top of," he said.

But also West blames himself for the attack, saying the bear was just following its instincts when it attacked.

"With my experience in the woods, I know bears are out foraging in the fall, but with the wind in the face, I know he couldn't smell me or hear me," he said. "I know that people should be prepared when they go out."

I can certainly understand conservatives not being pleased, but cutting off our nose to spite our face is reckless and dangerous when we consider the alternative. We must first defeat 0bama, then we can work on internal issues in our own party.

Like MacDaddy says- country first! Let's defeat 0bama for America, and worry about party after that.

B.C. man says he won deadly fight with black bear
Updated: Wed Oct. 08 2008 16:41:32

Darcy Wintonyk, ctvbc.ca

A B.C. man found himself in a deadly fight with a black bear, and had to kill the large animal to escape with his life. The attack left him with deep gashes in his head that required more than 60 stitches.

Jim West, 45, was walking with his two dogs near 70 Mile House -- about halfway between Kamloops and Williams Lake -- when his dogs reacted to a noise in the woods.

"All of a sudden I heard a 'whoof' on my right and I looked over and there was a bear six feet away from me," he said.

I found this interesting article, how come this hasn't been raised before now?

"Portrait of two ladies and their treatment by the Gray Lady"

Sure, many conservatives say The New York Times is biased against Sarah Palin, but let's remember the Times editorial published right after John McCain made his choice: "So much for the snickers about Boring McCain. His choice of Sarah Palin enlivens a leaden campaign season. It energizes the Republicans. And for all Americans, not just women, it's a genuinely historic moment. The verbs of Sarah Palin's life convey her solidity: worked, earned, raised, ran, won, led. In selecting her, Mr. McCain pays signal tribute to the difficult path pursued by many American women."

The Times, in its usually fair-minded way, noted that some would say Palin's selection was merely political, but it then rebutted that criticism: "By choosing a woman who seems untested on the national stage, it will be said that Mr. McCain looks desperate, driven to gamble that the women's vote will turn into a plus. Maybe, but so what? That has always been the first criterion for running mates: Who will bring the most to the ticket?"

OK, confession time: This was not the initial Times editorial about Sarah Palin. It was the editorial on July 13, 1984, that supported Democratic VP candidate Geraldine Ferraro: Merely trade Ferraro for Palin, and Walter Mondale (that year's Democratic presidential candidate) for McCain. This year, the Times is repeatedly demanding that Palin "fill in for the voting public the gaping blanks about her record and qualifications to be vice president." In 1984, as WORLD reader Keith Appell pointed out to me, "the Times made no such demands—but blindly accepted that she was ready."

There's more - and some really good Editorial Cartoons, too
Or has it been raised, but I've been snoozing?
Lord knows I'd never hear it from a MSM source.
That's why I'm a World Mag subscriber.

Not sure how useful a revolver would be against a bear up close and personal.

It would really take to long to explain law enforcement to you. It really comes too the point that you are not the maker of law, but the enforcer. If you don't like the law tough shit. If the judge has his name on that warrant tough shit. I serve it, let the courts sort it out.

Between 8:45 PM and 9:15 PM tonight (Oct 8) on Intrade, someone just bet a LOT of money against Obama winning the presidency. And I mean a LOT. His stock, which has been over 70 for a couple of days now and at 76 most of the time today dipped down to 64 or so in those 20 minutes under heavy betting before recovering immediately after 9:15 to 73... Very strange.. is there something someone knows? What is the news tomorrow, JMart?

Smoke and Pyro

White Smoke---Covering/Screening only
Yellow Smoke---Designated target (Fire at will)
Purple Smoke---All after is sarcastic
Green Smoke---Kook Identified
White Star Cluster---All Clear
Yellow Star Cluster---Cease-fire
Red Star Cluster---Danger

Some Examples:

Red says something smart and instead of "ducking," pops white smoke and disengages.

Anyone needing assistance might designate a post (or a thread in the subject line) with yellow smoke.

Prior to typing a sarcastic remark, "pop purple smoke." When removing tounge from cheek, send up a White Star Cluster.

Green star clusters would probably be most effective for the person on SGT Casey's duty roster with an addition to a subject line.

Yellow star clusters used to designate a friendly under fire or to initiate compromise under a misunderstanding.

Red star cluster, any kind of warning.

I never claimed it was the executive's job to make law. That's the job of the legislative. But both the executive and the judiciary can refuse to enforce an unjust law made by the legislature.

Fair enough ... and I will be listening again.

There were some statements that I did go back and replay. The guy is awesome.

The estimable John Lott on how badly Biden mangled the truth in his debate with Palin, and how the MSM has been covering for him ever since.

When you interview for a job, here is a hint: make sure you know what the job is. Joe Biden failed that test last Thursday. He couldn’t even get right what a vice president does, but the media didn’t notice.

The media is all over itself about how smart and experienced Biden is. Political analyst Charlie Cook is quoted in the Washington Post on Saturday as saying “Biden is clearly so much more knowledgeable, by a factor of about a million.” Saturday Night Live does a skit about Biden being smart, if slimy. Meanwhile, Governor Sarah Palin is treated as being nothing more than a simpleton.

As far as the sheriff in Chicago goes, I say its fairly practical not to evict anyone and everyone that comes across his desk. Under normal circumstances of course he should, but with tnes of thousands of foreclosures why throw people out of homes that the banks probably wouldn't be able to sell anyway?

IF the bank in question is actually willing to keep up the property and actively try to sell it its a whole different story, but too many times these houses are just becoming abondoned and used for squatters and then condemed.
