WTH? This is just ridiculous!

In a significant blow to the First Amendment and the use of legally-correct terminology, Arizona Supreme Court Chief Justice Ruth McGregor has advanced the demands of the Arizona Hispanic Bar Association by moving to ban the following language from all of the state’s courtrooms:

Aliens
Illegal aliens
Resident or non-resident aliens
Illegal immigrants
Illegal immigration
Illegals
Immigration epidemic
Immigration crisis
Immigrant invasion
Pro-illegal immigration activists
Open borders advocates
Anchor babies
Proponents for amnesty

Are you kidding? Good Lord. Hopefully this will be overturned by a person who actually knows the law and understands legal terms. Sheesh.

Hold onto the quilt, Rawmuse. Some quilts, if they're hand-loomed, go for hundreds of dollars.

My sister is a quilter and she goes to quilt shows. It's amazing how much some of those things cost.

If someone questions why a manly man such as yourself has a quilt lying around, just tell them it's an investment.

For Eyes of President-Elect Obama Only

(From November 5, 2008, President-elect Barrack Obama started receiving from the Director National Intelligence (DNI) a daily brief on the state of the world the previous day called the President's Daily Brief (PDB). A background note on the PDB carried by the BBC online on November 6, 2008, is annexed. The CIA would do well to incorporate the following in its PDB to Obama)

There is amazement ---- and confusion--- in India over reports that one of the first acts of the President will be to appoint Bill Clinton as his Special Envoy on the Kashmir issue to facilitate a settlement between India and Pakistan

2. Well-informed sources in India say that if the President-elect wants to severely damage the developing Indo-US relations he could not have thought of a better idea than to meddle in Kashmir. So many Americans----Presidents, Presidents-elect and defeated Presidential-aspirants---- thought they could help in finding a solution to the Kashmir issue and burnt their fingers and damaged Indo-US relations.

3. This started from Adlai Stevenson, who after losing the election to Gen.Dwight Eisenhower, proceeded to Srinagar ostensibly for a houseboat holiday on the Dal Lake and tried to meddle in the affairs of the State by suggesting to Sheikh Abdullah, the then Chief Minister of Jammu & Kashmir, that he should seek independence and promised that the US would support him. When the Indian Intelligence Bureau informed Jawaharlal Nehru, the then Prime Minister, of Stevenson's secret discussions with Abdullah, he sacked Abdullah. Adlai Stevenson became persona non grata with the Indian political class and public.

4. When Clinton became the President in 1993 he could not resist the temptation to have a go at settling the Kashmir issue. He chose as his secret emissary not a distinguished American, but an old college mate of his called Robin Raphael, who was posted as a junior diplomat in the US Embassy in New Delhi. Her American colleagues in New Delhi used to allege that after Clinton took office, she used to go around projecting herself as if she was a trusted adviser to Clinton, who took her into the State Department.

5. Our Indian sources say that she had two "achievements" to her discredit. She instigated the formation of the Hurriyat , a hotch-potch of anti-New Delhi Kashmiri personalities, which added to the existing mess. She also encouraged the formation of the Taliban in 1994 with the help of her close personal friends Benazir Bhutto, the then Prime Minister, and Asif Ali Zardari, the present President of Pakistan. She even met Mullah Mohammad Omar, who subsequently designated himself as the Amir of the Taliban, secretly and sought his help for a project of the Unocal for a gas pipeline from Turkmenistan to Pakistan via the Herat area of Afghanistan.

I would be more than happy to send you my share of snow! Just tell me where to have it deposited and I'll have The One get right on it.

Hilarious story today where Obama says that Republicans listened to Bush speak as if Bush were the Messiah.

I have also never heard Bush proclaim "WE are the ones we have been waiting for!" (emphasis in the original!)

"All told, the moves boost aid to the company to more than $150 billion. Fed officials, however, expressed confidence that the money would be repaid to taxpayers."

Let's see, the taxpayer pours billions down a rat hole, the execs go off on a "holiday", they are still (as far as I know) in place, and the Feds think we're gonna get our money back.

Morning all, might be sunny for Charles down south but overcast and cold here mid state.

I'm trying to get caught up on the posts here over the weekend and noticed the video of Bill Harris, superintendent of schools in Cumberland County, North Carolina is no longer available at youtube. Does anybody have a link of where it might be, or a transcription?

I see O apologized to Nancy. I have to give him some credit but I suspect it isn't all that genuine, I think he is beginning to realize he can't try and joke on national television like he was chuckling it up with his liberal elite associates. I see someone posted that Bush never had to make a similar apology, Ha!

And I see that Charles has more stuff out about VB and the neo-Nazis. WTF is up with Atlas anyway? Surely she knows the alternate agenda of these people by now but chooses to ignore it. She needs to bury the hatchet.

Oh and that link to the geeky stuff about the possible path to the evolution of life on earth was very interesting, passed it on to the juniorturnspawn who is currently somewhat befuddled on the creation vs evolution question.

Fellow Lizards:

Two bits of news;

1. The AP is reporting that Obama will definitely be closing Gitmo and will bring the terrorists to the US, and aims to create some type of hybrid between military and civilain courts, which will be hard to do constitutionally. The ACLU libs will be all over this, and as an attorney, I am telling you that a lot of these guys will walk because of problems with the evidence. The Dems just refuse to treat these guys as PRISONERS OF WAR and allow them to be tried by military tribunals. The U.S. govenment was not required to give all POWs in World War II a hearing as to why they should be imprisoned. This is just madness. Bill Clinton wanted Osama treated as a criminal, and used the excuse that he did not have any evidence to hold Osama as the reason why he did not take Osama when he was offered up. Treating these guys as criminals allows the Dems to shirk responsibility, and close Guantanamo under the guise of "The Courts let them go."

2. Drudge is reporting the THE ONE has scrubbed his website of any details as to the goals of his administration. Why am I not surprised?

Its easy to say you're fighting against a vague term. Everyone can agree and nod and say terror is bad. The problem lies in turning that into action. As soon as you get into specifics, saying to fight terror, these people need to die, these organizations need to be destroyed and these countries need to be held accountable, you're now asking people to take a meaninful stance which will lead to conflict, which many do not have the will or stamina to see thru.

SHREVEPORT, LA (KSLA) - "We lost 2 billion dollars and like any other business we have to stay afloat." And to keep from sinking, the United States Postal Service is considering cutting thousands of jobs nationwide. Lavelle Pepper with the post office in Shreveport says they too are feeling the affects of the same disease hitting the country... a struggling economy. "We employ about 685,000 people. If we do layoffs it would include clerks, carriers, mail handlers across all crafts."

Pepper says the postal service is looking to eliminate 40,000 jobs nationwide. There's not an exact number on how many of those could be from the Ark-La-Tex. Pepper says workers who are not part of union with six or less years of service would likely be the first on the chopping block. "We've identified 16 thousand people that are not covered under contract. We'll see what those numbers add up to."

Well, the price of stamps keeps going up, and now they've announced a 40,000 worker layoff. Still seems like a management issue to me.

:-)

Yes, I'm certain it isn't successful like a regular private business, if only because of the heavy unionization. Notto mention management that thinks like a gov agency.

But in their defense, with email and FedEx, they get a lot less business than they used to, and thus the layoffs. And maybe technology is making many of those jobs unnecessary, so the layoffs are a good thing. Not for the guy laid off, of course.

re: #265 vxbush

Really? Darn. I would have liked to keep it as a usable quilt, as it was a nice lightweight one. But your idea seems doable, maybe even with my limited sewing ability.

It is probably washing the quilt that made it disintegrate like that in the first place. Just for general info, handmade quilts should be put into a bathtub of water (warm) with a bit of the kind of soap you use for sweater and gently squeezed. (I actually walk on mine to accomplish that.) Rinse them the same way, still in the tub. Don't wring them whatever you do. If possible line dry them or spread them flat on the grass in the shade.

Unfortunately for most pieced quilts, repairing the thing involves ripping out huge amounts of quilting and disassembling the top. Very, very expensive to have done and it really destroys the value of the quilt.

The Left seem ready, even eager, to exchange freedom and responsibility for culpability for anything that happens. As long as they didn't give the orders or carry out the act they're fine with anything that happens. Well, anything that happens to the United States.

They also want to be there to shout "Murderer" about anything, no matter how justified, that the United States does. America is always to be viewed n the worst possible light, while the Islamists that are our enemy are held up as near saints and martyrs.

But they also want to be known as neutral. They can't do both , but they seem genuinely confused when they are called terrorist supporters. It is, in their view, their right to support terrorists free from the condemnation of their fellow citizens.

Probably the best thing to do with it is to get some netting of the sort they make bridal veils out of and carefully stitch it over the disintegrating fabric, then hang the quilt as a wall decoration out of the sun. There is no way to replace just that fabric on a completed quilt.

No, a quilter can repair it. I've done it.

For what it's worth, I'd never place a quilt in the sun. It would not only bleach the fabric, but it would serve to weaken the entire quilt.

It seems even the Dow is waiting on the entrance of Barack Obama, my savior and king before it will rise up on high."

I just wonder if there is a site where such news can be found, that isn't somehow connected to shady orgs. That's all. I know, I know, if I don't like it, I can GTFO and STFU, and make my own site, and all that jazz. Thing is, I DO like LGF. In fact, I f*kin love it. I was just asking a question. Please remove the chip from the shoulder.

So, now that the campaign is over, can someone point me in the direction of one or more sites with news about Islamic Terrorism, dawa, taqiyya, and other insanities...that is not connected somehow to neo-nazis and fascists?

The only problem I have with setting up electronic monthy bill payment is if you get into a dispute with a company. I set up autopay on my security alarm system. It has never worked right and I can't stop payment. Reason--the company only has to change the amount by 1 penny and it will go through. I will never set up autopay again.

I don't use autopay, but I have several payments saved in my account and I always push them. That works better and leaves me in control.

I've mentioned that my daughter is a freshman at San Diego State. She has a female economics professor who she likes. AS far as I can tell she is right on in her assessment of what has caused the problems in the markets - although, she didn't hit the point about democrats hard enough.

Daughter, with blonde hair almost to her waist, also said she ended up in a "Chicano studies" writing class. She said the girls are all really nice suggesting that if she was going to visit Tijuana to hide her hair. We've told her absolutely NO GO.

She said some of the guys in the class are really scary looking. She has grown up in an all white suburb in Virginia, and then all white suburb in New jersey - although her best friend is Samoan.

Good call on TJ, she should never go there. Neither should anyone else. 5 more were killed there on Sunday.

For those who didn't get to see this when I posted it last night:

Obama Spokesman Says 'Obama Ready to RULE on Day 1' (Video included at link)

The co-chair of Barack Obama's Transition Team, Valerie Jarrett, appeared on Meet the Press this weekend and used, shall we say, an interesting word to described what she thinks Barack Obama will be doing in January when he's officially sworn into office. She told Tom Brokaw that Obama will be ready to "rule" on day one. It's a word that reflects the worst fears that people have for Obama the "arrogant," the "messiah," that imagines he's here to "rule" instead of govern.

Jarret told Brokaw that "given the daunting challenges that we face, it's important that president elect Obama is prepared to really take power and begin to rule day one."

Someone needs to get to Jarrett and inform her that American politicians are not Kings and do not "rule" from office. But if this is the attitude of Obama's transition team, what does The One himself imagine he is about to unleash? Could the fears that Obama thinks he is being anointed America's King be far off with this sort of talk flying about?

Someone from the 0bama campaign refers to January 20th as "coronation day" in 5 . . . 4 . . . 3 . . . 2 . . .

Well, yeah. We've seen this before, as in "war on poverty", "war on drugs". Personally, I think we should have a "war on demagogues" and call it a day, mostly because anybody with half a brain knows you can't wage war on the intangible.

Well she is restructuring her home loan and missed her payment deadline by 2 days and they cancelled her policy. She called and talked to them - and they told her that they would be happy to reinstate her ....for an additional $2000 as YEAR. She was paying $600 a year - and they told her she would have to pay $2600 a year. No0 amount of pleading or threats would change their minds.

I told her to screw them and go with Geico. She did for $700 a year.

Mandy, I apologize, I may be the one with a chip on my shoulder. I mis-translated your ribbing as really reading "Yeah? F*** YOU!" :)

re: #413 Honorary Yooper

What happened with that anyway?

I'll quote a guy from Yahoo Answers, who is pretty much quoting verbatim from The Great Philadelphia Fan Book.


The incident occurred in 1968. The Eagles were having a miserable season under Joe Kuharich, who may have been the most disliked coach in team history. The team started off the season 0-11 (back then they played 14 games), but the lone bright spot was that the team would be in position to select O.J. Simpson with the first overall pick in the 1969 draft. The Eagles then went on a two-game winning streak and lost out on the first pick. So even when they won, they lost.

The Santa Claus incident occurred during halftime of the last game of the season, a game in which the Eagles were defeated by the Vikings. Back then, the regular season ended before Christmas, so they had a show at halftime. An older person was supposed to be Santa but he didn't show up (or was too sick or drunk depending on which version of the story you hear). In his place, they found a guy in the stands who had come to the game dressed in a Santa suit. He was young, skinny guy who didn't look the part. There have been accounts of the person being drunk, but I'm not sure if that's ever really been verified.

The fan reaction was a combination of a poor portrayal of Santa, frustration with coach Kuharich (who was fired after the '68 season) and the team. Philadelphia had become a football wasteland at the time. Between 1962 and 1977, the Eagles had exactly one winning season. On this day, fans took their frustration out on Santa.

The amazing thing is how the national media hangs on to this. You always hear how "Philly fans boo/threw snowballs at Santa Claus" on ESPN. It happened once, nearly 40 years ago.

I think she meant that the shit would hit the fan regarding Islam, which has, for the greatest part of the last year, due to the campaign, been quite silent and has refrained from burning any European cities, hacking off any Jewish journalists' heads, or pretty much anything which would let the U.S. citizenry know that they still exist and still want to destroy America and the West. They'll get back up to speed though, now that their funds can be re-channeled back to the Jihad, and away from the Obama coffers.

And hopefully we'll get to read about it here, when that happens.

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And low, the Angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them, and they were sore afraid. And the Angel said unto them, Fear not: For behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is borne this day, in the city of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; you shall find the babe wrapped in swadling clothes lying in a manger.

They'll get back up to speed though, now that their funds can be re-channeled back to the Jihad, and away from the Obama coffers.

And hopefully we'll get to read about it here, when that happens.

re: #351 Edgar

I'm not going to spend all day listing quality news outlets for you. No matter how many I list you'll find some problem with them, some instance of publishing inaccurate information and extrapolate that to the entire "MSM."

Meanwhile you have outfits like Debka, widely cited here at LGF, who get things wrong MOST of the time (unless their "secret" information is publicly available, of course).

Charles...I have not cited Debka for years.

Back door insult to Charles by implying that he allows "widely cited here at LGF". I have yet to see Debka widely cited here at all...thus the broad brush.

91 posts returned by that search. 7 can be considered a citation of Debka as a source. 2 of those give caveats.

Most of the returns are where a comment containing "debka" has been quoted. About a quarter of them were regarding the guest list to Khalidi's going-away banquet (a Palestinian entertainment group containing the same word.)

re: #641 subsailor68

Ah, but remember the sad lyrics in the reprise, after Arthur has lost about everything:

Yes, Camelot, my boy!
Where once it never rained till after sundown,
By eight a.m. the morning fog had flown...
Don't let it be forgot
That once there was a spot
For one brief shining moment that was known
As Camelot.

I sincerely hope we never need to sing those lyrics for real.

* * *
My POINT is that like the Kennedy years (full of nepotism--RFK--infidelity, lying about JFK's health, nuclear missile standoffs with Cuba, getting drubbed by Kruschov, getting into Vietnam in "advisory capacity", etc.), media revisionists will paint the upcoming Camelot II as the BEST YEARS EVER on the planet--as Pres. Bush's were the worst years ever for humanity (if you believe their lying words).

To help them escape when they're blue?
The shepard who is ailing, the milkmaid who is glum
The cobbler who is wailing from nailing his thumb
When they're beset and besieged
The folk not noblessly obliged
However do they manage to shed their weary lot?
Oh, what do simple folk do we do not?

BARACK:
I have been informed by those who know them well
They find relief in quite a clever way
When they're sorely pressed, they whistle for a spell
And whistling seems to brighten up their day
And that's what simple folk do
So they say

MICHELLE:
They whistle?

BARACK:

Who could repair something like that? Certainly not me. It's not a computer.

Pick up a quilt magazine at the grocery store or Wal-Mart, or wherever -- they almost always have ads for people who are experts at that stort of thing. If it's weak fabric, though, it'll probably be an expensive repair, and they might not be able to find the same pattern nowadays.

Yeah, the fact that NC was creeping leftward became apparent soon after I got here. Disillusioning, to say the least. One pet peeve of mine that has been made manifest in the last election is the Libertarian vote. Yes, I know Libertarians have good ideas, yes I know Libertarianism is often a purer version of Conservatism than that of the Republican Party, and yes I know that Libertarians are more fun to hang out with, but... Obama won NC by 1%, the Libertarian candidate got 3%. Not a single one of those voters really thought that the Libertarian candidate was going to become President.
This is too big a state to let it's Conservatives be nullified by the Conservative contrarians who vote Libertarian. I vote Libertarian every once in a while, but NEVER when there's a strong Dem. contender for the Office. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.

USC could go unbeaten and un-scored-upon for an entire season and the SEC/Big 12 fanboys would still say USC doesn't belong in the BCS rankings.

I's love to see USC play Alabama. It would be fun to see who can adjust first to the other's style of play.

I'd still put my money on Alabama, even though they are still a young team who have so far managed to play above the level they should. But if USC won, I'd still be happy.

No, I'd say USC could beat all of them (on most days). The Oregon State game was a fluke - a Thursday road game after the Ohio State showdown that they were all psyched up for.

All the more reason why Div. 1 needs a playoff system. Now that all the old classic Bowl games have been diminished in stature, there's no compelling reason not to.

Yes, they've needed a playoff system for years. The BCS is pathetic. A local sports talk legend here, Norm Hitzges, proposed a playoff system that incorporates the bowls, some 20 years ago.

Whose fault is it that the cardboard cutout media-tool Barack Hussein Obama has actually been elected President of the United States?

I won't win any popularity contests for saying so, but I think it is OUR fault as Republicans and conservatives. Besides the conflation of political and social conservatism, a shotgun wedding of linguistic coincidences and little else, we have some major problems at the grassroots level with the day-to-day perception of our party and its membership.

Here in Lubbock, I avoid any association with the local party because its membership is infested with red-meat free-enterprise types who seem to believe that property rights and social status are really the only rights that matter. This extends not just to rejecting things like unionization and the minimum wage but to ordinary common decency as well. If I had a dollar for every time I've heard some local fatcat (and the bastards really are fat) express contempt for working people, I would be the richest fatcat of all.

Some of them, I swear, still resent the abolition of slavery and I have heard more than one defend slavery in private. Ironically, this would have made them dyed-in-the-wool Democrats a couple of generations ago.

I've also heard a former GOP county chairman say that he does not respect anyone who does not own their own business, and I have heard him refer to wage-earners as "peons." Conversely, his sycophantic fawning over the very wealthy has been a public embarrassment more than once, but he seems oblivious to this or to how actual movers and shakers see his ilk. This kind of stuff gets around, a lot. When it happens, it is personal and it will outweigh many millions of dollars worth of election propaganda. Multiply it by a whole nation full of people and you have an electoral disaster.

We need to get rid of characters like this, just as we need to get rid of crazies and racists.

A lot of the Libertarians I have known are kind of like Communists in that they want to make things worse to bring about sweeping change. So they know that their votes cost us the election in NC, but they're OK with it. Obama will be a disaster, but that will increase the overall dissatisfaction with the Government as a whole which will, they think, bring them closer to a majority.

Or something like that. I don't think that's going to work for them. The idea that you have to choose the lesser evil is anathema to them.

Jewish Mother: "Oy the agony, oy the ecstasy, oy the agony, oy the ecstasy, oy the agony..."
Passerby: "Excuse me ma'am but what's the matter?"

That's interesting.

My high school baseball coach (a former minor league catcher for the Reds) was also the "frosh-soph" (JV) football coach. He never played college football, but his teams never lost a game for 14 years. He never wanted the Varsity job, oddly. Not the same level by any means, but interesting anyway.

Not much of a market for pre-stained upholstery.

I have no problem with different opinions, when they are thoughtful and respectful; pissing on the carpet and telling me I deserve it, however, does represent a problem.

@charles> the translation of the first youtube film, later i will do the second.

Joods Actueel a jewish weekly in Antwerp attacks Filip de Winter and Vlaams Belang. In a report called the 10 sins of Vlaams Belang that shows that Vlaams Belang is still a party where antisemitism and sympathy for the nazi’s thrive.

Than the interview:

W:Your question to the party was very clear. Shouldnt the party (VB) expell people?
M: That was not the question. The reason was a letter we got from Filip de Winter in which he said the jewish community does not have to be scared for Vlaams Belang Vote for us we are your best friends. VB is joined with the jews in a war against islam.
W: But then you investigated?
M: Yes then we investigated that. Is this the truth? And than we found a number of facts. We saw people of vlaamse belang that give the hitlersalute that are still welcome in the party and that people of vlaams belang go to nazimeetings in austria or buy and sell nazi books.
And then we said. Mister de winter if you really want to be our friend. We ask of you some elementary politeness. Than you cant tolerate people bringing the hitlersalute or people ging to nazi meetings. Get rid of them. And give us your excuse for their behaviour. Only after that we can start talking. As long as you dont get rid of those people you are deceiving us. You cant say you are our friend when you have holocaust deniers in your party.

W: But are you going to be active against VB in Joods actueel now?
M: i think we already did with our investigation. But we are not going to give VB to much attention.
W: But the Winter should nt say he is a friend of the jews?
Laughter.

On a related, unfunny note,
I read the novel "Gone with The Wind" this summmer for the first time and found the chapters covering Reconstruction very interesting. Punitive & greedy interests pushed into office people they could control, and instituted terrible (redistributive) taxes.
