Sent to the SBOE ...
Dear Members of the State Board of Education,
My name is *, and I am an assistant professor of physics at * University in *, TX.
Since completion of my Ph.D. in theoretical physics at * in 2005, I have accumulated three and a half years of experience teaching physics and planetary astronomy at the university level.
I am writing to you as a concerned private citizen of the state in support of the adoption of the proposed Earth and Space Science (ESS) course standards.
The stars (both in the magnitude of their distance and in the measurable rate of their recession) and the Earth itself (within its geological strata and also by proportion of radio emitting isotopes) testify in unison to the great age of our planet and universe.
Science cannot, nor should any instructor of science, deny the possibility of a creator. However, it is love of truth - a point of common ground with those who approach this debate as a matter of religious faith - which makes the scientist revolt against the obscuring of basic observed facts about the world in which we live. Surely science must proceed with skepticism, debate, and a free airing of disparate interpretations and views, but this cannot be a blind behind which unreasonable doubts reduce society to absurd agnosticism against observed fact. All men are free to believe in God. No man may deny that the older and deeper places of the Earth hold the remains of primitive creatures which increase in variety and complexity as the hand of geological time winds forward.
I am well aware of the arguments offered in scientific adornment by the advocates of young earth creationism, and I suggest to this panel that they are without scientific merit.
I would further suggest in a sincere spirit that the goals of any parent who wishes to pass their religious faith on to the next generation are best served by actively acknowledging the role of natural processes in their creation oriented world view.
Sincerely,
*

I Wanna Be Sedated
(with apologies to The Ramones)
Twenty twenty twenty-four hours to go-o, ’til O’s inaugurated.
There’s no escape, no place to go-o-o; I wanna be sedated.
Just put me in a coma, wake me in four years;
Hurry hurry hurry, the zero-hour nears.
I’ve covered up my eyeballs, I’ve tried to block my ears;
Oh no no no no no!
Twenty twenty twenty-four hours to go-o, ’til O is coronated.
The planet’s doomed; with O in control-o, we’ll be annihilated.
Just put me on a spaceship, get me out of here;
Hurry hurry hurry, the Zero’s reign is near.
I can’t control my nightmares, I can’t control my fear;
Oh no, oh no, oh no!
Twenty twenty twenty-four hours to go-o, ’til O is consecrated.
The people chose to deify O-o: their savior incarnated.
Just save me from His sermons – I don’t choose to hear:
“Hallelujah brothers, your Chosen One is here!”
I’ve never been religious, and now the reason’s clear.
Oh, woe woe woe woe woe!
Oh O-bama, oh no, O-bama! He’ll be inaugurated!
Oh O-bama, uh-oh, O-bama! He will be adulated!
Oh O-bama, oh no, O-bama! He’s somewhat overrated!
Oh O-bama, uh-oh, O-bama! He’s birth-certificated!
Oh O-bama, oh no, O-bama! I wanna be sedated!

I've spent days updating my "The Intifada Has Been Globalized" post -- and now it's nearly twice as big as it was when you may have first seen it!
So, if you're interested: even if you've seen it before, the roundup is much more comprehensive and much more horrifying than ever before, so give it a gander:
January 10, 2009: The Intifada is globalized as the Gaza War becomes a world war

The British are feeling the pinch in relation to recent bombings and have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross." Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies all but ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorised from "Tiresome" to a "Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was during the great fire of 1666.
Also, the French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide." The only two higher levels in France are "Surrender" and "Collaborate." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralysing the country's military capability.
It's not only the English and French that are on a heightened level of alert. Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout Loudly and Excitedly" to "Elaborate Military Posturing." Two more levels remain: "Ineffective Combat Operations" and "Change Sides."
The Germans also increased their alert state from "Disdainful Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs." They also have two higher levels: "Invade a Neighbour" and "Lose."
Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual, and the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.

A man enters a bar and orders a drink. The bar has a robot
bartender. The robot serves him a perfectly prepared cocktail, and
then asks him," What's your IQ?" The man replies "150" and the robot
proceeds to make conversation about global warming factors, quantum
physics and spirituality, bio mimicry, environmental
interconnectedness, string theory, and nano-technology. The customer
is very impressed and thinks, "This is really cool." He decides to
test the robot. He walks out of the bar, turns around, and comes
back in for another drink. Again, the robot serves him the perfectly
prepared drink and asks him, "What's your IQ?" The man responds,
"about a 100." Immediately the robot starts talking, but this time,
about football, NASCAR, baseball, super models, favorite fast foods,
guns, and women. Really impressed, the man leaves the bar and
decides to give the robot one more test. He heads out and returns,
the robot serves him and asks, "What's your IQ?" The man replies,
"Ahh, 50, I think." And the robot says... real slowly...
"So............... ya gonna vote for Bush again?"

Will Rogers, who died in a plane crash with Wylie Post in 1935, was probably the greatest political sage this country has ever known. Enjoy the following:
1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.
2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.
3. There are 2 theories to arguing with a woman...neither works.
4. Never miss a good chance to shut up.
5. Always drink upstream from the herd.
6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.
7. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back in your pocket.
8. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
9. If you're riding' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there.
10. Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier'n puttin' it back.

Ever get in a bad situation, but you not only said or did something to get out of it, you said or did the one thing that gets you out of that situation in the best possible way? That happened to me today!
I was taking a long bus ride to work. As it happens, the bus was more crowded than usual, as there were many people on there who had obviously just come from the Las Vegas Martin Luther King Jr. Day Parade (judging by their King Jr./0bama shirts).
When I got on, the only place left to sit was in back. There was some big black guy (most likely homeless, judging by appearances) sleeping just 2 seats over facing me (the buses here have seats facing both forward and backward), but he slept through half the strip, and I figured he wouldn't be any problem.
At the stop in front of Caesars Palace, the bus driver (obviously concerned about how long this guy has been sleeping) comes back to wake the guy up - not kick him off, but just to wake him up and make sure he's OK.
Well, this guy wakes up, and starts ranting about being woken up. He starts complaining about being woken up by the bus driver, yelling how the bus driver probably isn't even American (naturally, everyone else including me is not paying attention to him), and screams that the bus driver is probably Hawaiian (Ummm . . . remind me again what country Hawaii is in?)!
The bus driver walked away, and I figured I'd get away from this situation, too. Unfortunately, as I started to leave, this guy blocks me. As he is bigger than me, and possibly crazy, I'm pretty much stuck.
He starts yelling directly at me about how these "foreigners" are everywhere, and starts saying that damn Hawaiians, Mexicans and others are ruining this country. I'm scared as heck, and the other passengers are scared of this guy, and pity me, as everyone (including me) probably figures I'm going to get beat up.
All I could say at first was, "Isn't Hawaii part of this country?" The crazy guy goes off about how you can't just make stuff up and says it isn't.
It's at this point an idea came into my head, and I decide to go with it.
I ask him if he's sure, and he says he's damn sure Hawaii isn't part of America. I then yell at the top of my lungs, so everyone on the bus can hear me, "OH, SO YOU'RE SAYING HAWAII ISN'T IN THE US, AND THEREFORE NATIVE HAWAIIAN BARACK 0BAMA CAN'T LEGALLY BE SWORN IN AS THE NEW US PRESIDENT TOMORROW?!?"
When the consequences of what he's saying hit this guy, and when he turned around to see a bus full of people who are not only anticipating 0bama's inauguration, but who are wearing MLK Jr./0bama T-shirts, scowling at him, he ran from the bus fast enough to qualify for the Olympics!
Almost everyone on the bus especially those just a few rows from me, immediately broke out into laughter. An 0bama supporter just one row away turned to me and said, "Dude, that was F***ING brilliant!"

This reminds me of Winchester from M*A*S*H. There's an episode where he's finally taking his turn to go over to the 8063rd M*A*S*H, which he's always avoided because he's worried he'll get killed on the drive between.
Before he leaves, he records his last will and testament on audio tape. He ends with, " Farewell, baked scrod. Farewell, Cape Cod. Farewell, Harvard Yard."
At that point, BJ and Hawkeye (who have been watching most of this without Winchester's knowledge) enter and applaud, making fun of Winchester's Boston accent by saying, "What a touching farewell to Cod, Yahd, and scrod!"

Is there a cake in all those flowers?

re: #6 NY Nana
I am so angry at the travsty called an Inauguration...I may just go into hibernation! –NyN
I feel the same.
I will keep the TV and the MSM out of my house for the next 4 years and avoid the Lipstick on a Pig coverage regarding Barack Hussein.
For those people who will climb into the toilet with Obama I wish them bad luck.
David Horowitz asks how conservatives should participate in Barack Obama’s inauguration
I would say they should treat him as a con-artists and, if possible, stay clear of him altogether.
If some conservatives are close to him they should carry WET ONES Antibacterial Towelettes to wipe the filth off of their hands after touching him.
One of the largest problems with Obama is: Criminals and Cronies - of the most grungy type.
And, quite frankly, Obama and his gang should probably be in Federal Prison instead of the White House.
We have all heard about Obama’s ties to terrorists, anti-military groups, questionable allies like Acorn, Smearing of "Joe the Plumber" via gross misuse of governmental data bases, political crooks, and tainted businessmen. Worse, the list of cronies on Obama’s team grows like a tapeworm.
Here is another example of cronyism.
Basically, Obama and Gerry Salemme of Clearwire/ICO have begun the process to delay the implementation Digital TV which just happens to help Gerry Salemme’s 4G WiMAX networks to the detriment of Verizon, Qualcomm and Dish Networks.
As writer Carney says “Sprint pays Clearwire to connect your Blackberry to the Internet." Delaying the transition to Digital TV will help Clearwire and Gerry Salemme of Clearwire/ICO by blocking the 700MHz band which Verison, Qualcom, and Dish Networks paid for and would use to compete against Clearwire/ICO for million and millions of dollars.
This is a clear case of manipulating the market for the benefit of Obama’s political donors. Obama and his friends are con-artists and cronies. This is why I dislike Obama.
His crony tape worm keeps growing and it should not be in the White House. It's going to be an ugly 4 years.

At work, I try to avoid political discussions. Not surprisingly, that wasn't easy Monday (fortunately, I'm off Tuesday).
One person noted that I wasn't commenting on anything about 0bama's inauguration, and asked, "You aren't a Republican, are you?"
I looked her straight in the face and said, "MLK and I have two big things in common - we both share the same birthday (January 15th), and we both are members of the same political party."
I left it at that. I guess between my mention of my recent birthday, and her erroneous assumption that MLK was a Democrat, that was enough to avoid further discussion.

I'm reminded more of this song:
JUDAS
My mind is clearer now.
At last all too well
I can see where we all soon will be.
If you strip away The myth from the man,
You will see where we all soon will be. Jesus!
You've started to believe
The things they say of you.
You really do believe
This talk of God is true.
And all the good you've done
Will soon get swept away.
You've begun to matter more
Than the things you say.
Listen Jesus I don't like what I see.
All I ask is that you listen to me.
And remember, I've been your right hand man all along.
You have set them all on fire.
They think they've found the new Messiah.
And they'll hurt you when they find they're wrong.
I remember when this whole thing began.
No talk of God then, we called you a man.
And believe me, my admiration for you hasn't died.
But every word you say today
Gets twisted 'round some other way.
And they'll hurt you if they think you've lied.
Nazareth, your famous son should have stayed a great unknown
Like his father carving wood He'd have made good.
Tables, chairs, and oaken chests would have suited Jesus best.
He'd have caused nobody harm; no one alarm.
Listen, Jesus, do you care for your race?
Don't you see we must keep in our place?
We are occupied; have you forgotten how put down we are?
I am frightened by the crowd.
For we are getting much too loud.
And they'll crush us if we go too far.
If they go too far....
Listen, Jesus, to the warning I give.
Please remember that I want us to live.
But it's sad to see our chances weakening with every hour.
All your followers are blind.
Too much heaven on their minds.
It was beautiful, but now it's sour.
Yes it's all gone sour.
Listen, Jesus, to the warning I give.
Please remember that I want us to live.
C'mon, c'mon
He won't listen to me ...
C'mon, c'mon
He won't listen to me ...

Reagan first became California governor in 1967. Just 1 year later, in 1968, Reagan became part of a "Stop Nixon" movement and stated he would be a "compromise candidate" for US President if neither Nixon nor Nelson Rockefeller got enough delegates.
After Reagan came in third in the number of delegates, he played down the fact that he was seriously considering running for US President so soon after becoming governor of California.
The Laugh-In gag reverses this, referring to him as president (a ridiculous notion to the people of the late '60s!), and stating that he wasn't seriously considering running for CA governor.

Ayers Turned Away From Canada By Immigration Officials
William Ayers, the 1960s radical whose ties to President-elect Barack Obama caused trouble for his campaign, was turned away from Canada Sunday night as he tried to enter the country for a series of educational events.
Jeffrey Kugler, the executive director for the Center for Urban Schooling at the University of Toronto, said Ayers was deemed not admissible after being pulled aside by Canadian immigration officials while trying to clear customs at the Toronto airport.
Ayers had been invited to speak before the center. He was also scheduled to meet with the Toronto District School Board and do interviews with Canadian television and radio stations, Kugler said.
Kugler said the center sent e-mails notifying guests who planned to attend Ayers' talk that he had been turned back. Kugler said the center will try to reschedule Ayers.
Ayers, a co-founder of the violent Weather Underground group and current education professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, told the Toronto Star that he didn't know why he had been turned away.
According to Kugler, Ayers was told he could request a hearing but that would mean some sort of detention and a possible two week wait. Ayers opted to return to Chicago.

The Obammunist Manifesto
While self-enlightened philosopher clowns warm themselves this winter day, submerged in the sauna of socialist subservience, just exactly how fresh is their sacrament of salvation?
Oh to invoke FDR!
Let us then hope indeed that the spirit of FDR and Chicago politics has changed!
Recall (and oh how they may wish for one soon enough!):
"In order to win the nomination for a third term, Roosevelt had to seek the support of two of the most hard boiled Democratic politicians in the country, Ed Kelly of Chicago and Frank Hague of Jersey City.
Each led political machines that dominated their respective states by stuffing ballot boxes, enfranchising the graveyards, and paying for straight ticket votes on a per capita basis, tactics that made reform-minded liberal Democrats wince and righteous Republicans sputter ...
The Hoover administration put Capone in jail. After FDR's election, federal prosecution of Chicago's mafiosi dropped to zero ...
Not a little of the reason was FDR's rapport with Kelly, who backed Roosevelt with a wholehearted enthusiasm not shared by other Democrats in Illinois ("Roosevelt is my religion," was the title of a speech Kelly gave repeatedly.)
In return, FDR made sure huge amounts of federal money went to Chicago for public projects"[1][2]
Thus, in contrast to the incoming knave, and the nattering nabobs of nanny-state activity, let us thank the outgoing out-going (yet modest) Commander in Chief:
"Leaders are not always the loudest or the most popular. A leader is essential to a winning team. He is respected; he is the player depended on by his teammates.
The leader is molded of the highest character and is generally the hardest worker on the team, the first to come to practice and the last to leave. During practice, he leads by example, mouth shut, concentrating. He knows that has to be done and he realizes that you get it done at practice.
His teammates look at him and realize in an instant that he knows where he is going. It follows, naturally, that he automatically becomes a leader because the team members who want to go to the same place will follow him.
A leader is unselfish. He is often the most talented member of the team, but he uses his talent for the benefit of the team, not to stand out at the expense of the team.
You may not pick him as your first choice for a party partner, but when the going gets tough at the end of the game, he is the one guy above all the others you'd want on your side.
Being a leader is a tough business, but the rewards are worth it, for being respected is better than being liked any day."[3]
Thank you.

It will turn to all love all the time for Obama. Obama did learn one thing from the Clintons. He has made it clear that they will be entertaining a lot. He will include the media, thereby insuring another layer of MSM insulation from criticism.
Somebody made a good point on on analysis show last night. They pointed out that Obama's campaign success was largely due to his avoiding giving any specifics, just sold himself on the dreams of "hope" and "change", so each voter could fill in the blanks for themselves and make that out to be whatever they w nt. A blank slate, so to speak.

Off topic and out of the blue, and not th best I've ever written.
Dear Mr. Bush.
I wanted to say goodbye, though we never met. I'm not a lobbyist, I'm not a senator or a government official of any stripe or persuasion. I'm just an American that supported you throughout these last eight years, while managing my life as best I can as a citizen of this great nation.
I voted for you in 2000, and again in 2004. I'm a Reagan Republican, and I will gladly die with his eternal optimism as my beacon. Though you sometimes diverged from a few of the ideals I consider important to the nation's health, you never erred in your love of the United States, nor did you ever waiver in defending her from aggressors, at home and abroad. You arrived at the White House an unproven patriot, and left a battle scarred warrior for the American Way. You are the successor to the mantle of Reagan, a mantle passed to you by virtue of a few votes and a hard fought miracle.
You were an honest man, under assault from numerous fronts, yet you dug in, fought in the trenches and survived to carry out the actions you believed would benefit this country. You stood athwart Iran, and you cleaned house in Iraq. You brought light to the dungeon of Afghanistan, and you rebuffed a saber rattling sociopath in North Korea. You called evil by its name, never acquiescing to do otherwise.
You were a charitable, kind President, and I will miss you. You are perhaps may be the last President that stands aside the constitution with traditional reverence, even though they, these traitors, said otherwise. You gave more comfort to prisoners in Guantanamo than the press, assorted Democrats and liberals gave to you.
May you live long and well, Mr. President. May you and your wife enjoy your retirement. You've earned it, and you've earned our gratitude. Thank you for standing by us eight long hard years. I salute you, beer in hand, early as it is now, and begin marking the time till we, America and her stalwart patriots, can return to a president as honest and deserving of her country as you. And though I am not religious, may God grant you the greatest of peace and happiness, Mr. President.

Maher Arar has denied ever having been in Afghanistan. He received a multi million dollar payoff from the Canadian government, based in part upon this denial.
According to FBI testimony at his Guantanamo Bay trial, Omar Khadr identified Arar by name from his photograph as having been seen in al Qaeda safe houses in Afghanistan. It is of course possible that this evidence is tainted, but it is also possible that it is accurate.
In connection with a subsequent Canadian public inquiry, Stockwell Day, a Canadian government minister, personally reviewed the American file on Arar and reported that he had seen nothing which would justify charging or placing Arar on a no-fly list.
Perhaps Stockwell Day could enlighten the House of Commons as to whether he was ever made aware of or saw the identification evidence, and if so, why he chose to dismiss it.
If Khadr's identification of Arar was not previously known by Canadian authorities then no time should be wasted in conducting a proper investigation into whether Arar lied to the public inquiry about never having been in Afghanistan.
So far only silence from Arar, which is understandable./

Absolutely. Obama's coronation is a coup d'etat by the media-industrial complex. They don't shill for him, he shills for them.
The unelected, unaccountable shadow government of the mass media is now one and the same with the constitutional government, at least at the federal level.
We are headed for four years of media rule, or mis-rule, since this is the most depraved, ignorant, and arrogant large group of people ever to gain control of a democratic country. They WILL over-reach, probably to bizarre and previously unheard of extremes. They are monsters of vanity and hubris, and it is in their nature. I predict it will be the end of them before it all over.

None so far. But Australia has a different political system. The PM comes from the party that holds the majority in the House of Reps. Like the British Westminster system.

Hamas Victory Propaganda Film For Kids
[Link: atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com...]
On the first day of the Hamas ceasefire with Israel, Hamas TV has released a propaganda film to bolster its claims that it won the war in Gaza and killed 49 Israeli soldiers. The animated film depicts Israeli soldiers as cowards, and vows that soldiers who dare to come to Gaza will face "certain death."
Observers have reported that hundreds of Hamas fighters were killed in the conflict, More..while Israel lost 10 soldiers in combat and three civilians in rocket attacks. However, in the attempt to present this war as a victory, Hamas TV reported today that Hamas lost only 48 fighters and killed 80 Israelis, including 49 soldiers.
Now check this out. It's a complete rip off. Are the Muslims capable of an original thought? Do they produce anything other than seventh century death, slavery and misogyny?

Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Found at Paco's, who links American Thinker, who links Reflections of a Newosaur, who links a 2007 Times oped......
the momentous scale is not the most galling aspect of Mr. Slim's riches. There's the issue of theft.Like many a robber baron - or Russian oligarch, or Enron executive - Mr. Slim calls to mind the words of Honoré de Balzac: "Behind every great fortune there is a crime." Mr. Slim's sin, if not technically criminal, is like that of Rockefeller, the sin of the monopolist.
Pinch Sulzberger has run his family's patrimony into the ground, and now he turns to a man his paper labeled a thief. His ancestors must be rolling in their graves.

Rush is calling it the "Immaculation" and I must admit that sounds about right. My daughter is on a school trip in DC to see the whole thing so pray everyone remains safe.
I personally feel that Obama will be the President of all of us...but that Michelle needs to visit elsewhere for the next four years. Can't wait for her to start telling us all what to do based upon her superior judgement.
I already see a lot of HOPE out there...particularly on the part of the media. They HOPE his is tranformative, they HOPE he is a uniter, they HOPE he closes GITMO, they HOPE he can fix the economy, they HOPE, HOPE, HOPE. I HOPE they CHANGE their minds.
We have elected a child in what is now a very adult world. It speaks volumes about the media, about everyone who voted for the man. And McCain was just as phoney.

Agreed. I also love "20th Century Battlefields" on the Military Channel. The father-son historian team is great.
That's a channel I don't get. I've asked my carrier for it, but apparently I'm in the minority. Instead, they carry Food Channel, BET, and a whole slew of channels I avoid (CNN, MSNBC, Headline News, etc). At least I've got Fox News...

A lot of African-American radicals don't consider Obama "black." Hell, Sharpton said he was not "down with the struggle." Whatever that means.

Geithner Can’t Explain His Failure to Pay Taxes
What senators learned at the gathering was not only that Geithner had failed to pay self-employment taxes during his time at the International Monetary Fund. They learned that the IMF had repeatedly informed Geithner, as it had all its employees, of his obligation to pay that tax. They learned that Geithner signed documents saying he would pay the tax. And they learned that Geithner accepted IMF reimbursement for Social Security and Medicare taxes that he had not, in fact, paid. Geithner paid part of his obligation after a 2006 Internal Revenue Service audit, and the rest of it after he was nominated to become treasury secretary. In all, he paid $42,702 in back taxes and interest. In addition to his payment of the unpaid self-employment taxes, Geithner also had to pay $5,566 to cover other shortfalls in his tax payments, for a total of $48,268 in back taxes and interest.
I'd simply deploy the Leona Helmsly defense, "Paying taxes is for the little people."

Goldens are different. He is our 3rd, also. they wouldn't bite you if you were cutting off their leg. Jake was esp. sweet that way. For a big dog he was very timid. Our other one bossed him around all the time. She decided when they would eat, sleep and go out. Even the clinic where he spent his final days was a wreak yesterday when my husband and son went in to get him. They had come to love him in just those few days.

She might have said something, but I wasn't paying attention.
/She interviewed some Obamabot that is to be congratulated for the multiple life skills shown by:
a) getting herself alive to Washington all the way from Maryland.
b) dressing for the weather (presumably by herself, although her mother was there, so this might be in question).
c) bringing food and water.

These campaigns [Bush hatred] are yet another symptom of the American left's collapse into an ideological stupor characterized by pseudo-religious impulses, division of the world into black and white entities, and the unleashing of emotions beyond any means of rational control. The demonization of Bush -- and Reagan, and Nixon -- is the flip-side of the messianic response to Barack Obama.
For the country as a whole, the prospects are bleaker. The left is convinced that hatred works, that it's a perfect tactic, one that will work every time out. They have already started the process with Sarah Palin, their next target in their long row of hate figures.

When we were first married, the IRS informed us that my wife's employer had screwed up a tax filing, that resulted in her underpaying her taxes by about $300. With all the penalties and interest added on, they wanted about $1,000 to settle the deal. This was the first we had heard about it by the way, and her employer sent an affidavit that the screw up was their fault.
The IRS did not care. I had 10 minutes to write a $1000 check or else have my house liened.

And pray for me, whether you believe in prayer or not, because I'm getting ready to go into DC for the Coronation. (Only because my Obamabot ex and his partner drove down all the way from NYC for the occasion, and they're staying in a motel way out in the Virginia 'burbs not too far from me, so I figured I might as well keep them company on the Metro ride into the city.)
However, just to antagonize as many people as possible, I took the trouble of sewing a homemade "HomoCon" patch onto my winter coat (click my avatar for a photo of it). I mean, I support Obama as my President because "country first," but that doesn't mean I gotta do backflips of joy about it. And in the immortal words of Florence King, "I don't care if people think I'm a pervert, but I'd just die if anyone mistook me for a Democrat."

Just a reminder to those who think Lincoln would have been happy today, here is what he had to say in 1858:
I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races,
that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes,
nor of qualifying them to hold office,
nor to intermarry with white people ...
I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.

When we were first married, the IRS informed us that my wife's employer had screwed up a tax filing, that resulted in her underpaying her taxes by about $300. With all the penalties and interest added on, they wanted about $1,000 to settle the deal. This was the first we had heard about it by the way, and her employer sent an affidavit that the screw up was their fault.
The IRS did not care. I had 10 minutes to write a $1000 check or else have my house liened.

Admiral who has spent his entire career in Submarines is retiring, and the Admiral of the Base offers to take him on a final tour of the base. So they are riding around the base and the sub Admiral keeps asking about the ships they pass. He doesn't ask about the name of the ship or the crew or anything like that, he seems to have trouble identifying the type of ship. He even points at the aircraft carrier and says "That's a big 'un over there! What is that?"
Finally the Admiral of the Base says "I can't believe that you have made Admiral and command all the submarines in the Atlantic ocean and you don't know anything about the ships in the Navy!" The Submariner explains that the sub service has different names for the ships.
"Well, what do you call the ships?"
The Submariner smiles. "We call them targets."

Would You Like Another Victory
Spent a very pleasant evening with cousins of mine in from Israel.
First an anecdote/urban legend/possibly true:
A Hamas guy clears out when the flyer dropped warning his house was going to be blasted. So he did what any sane person would do, he left. True to their word, the IDF demolished his house. Well you can't be a high-level Hamas Jihad Warrior and not have a nice home, not when Iran is so generous, so he finds another nice place in another apartment building.
Some neighbors greet you with cookies and a warm welcome, his proposed new neighbors, fearful for their own homes and lives, all but rioted and Mr. Hamas did not move in.
This brings me to the other point. Hamas has declared victory. I am not so sure Gazans want another victory because it will take years to rebuild from the last one. Hamas vicious pre-emptive attack on all things Fatah yesterday, indicates they are plenty worried about their situation and their ability to stay in power.

A lot of the damage he can do might not be noticeable on a daily basis. Like Carter's damage, it might be noticeable 20-30 years down the road.

Ah, if so they were installed in secret, cause one of the things that JFK DID DO right was to put the Cuban Blockade in place and NO SOVIET SHIPS went through that blockade.
And this isn't from the history books which a lot of folks haven't apparently read - or which have been "sanitized" by the Billy Boy Ayers crew - this is from sitting there watching it happen on TV. First Soviet ship with what looked to be nuclear missles in containers on deck, stopped by a U.S. Destroyer and, after the Captain on the Destroyer said something like ''STOP NOW OR WE WILL SINK YOU, NO WARNING SHOTS" the Soviet ship turned around and went home.

Golden retreiver. They aren't sure of his underlying illness. He had his spleen and gall bladder removed on Wed., and was just shutting down for the next few days. They tried everything, lots of different antibiotics and blood transfusions, but his body (only 6 yrs old) was just too weakened. Their best guess is some type of tick borne parasite that we fought off and on successfully with antibiotics for over a year. But it finally got him.

Hi Guns! No, you were right - some SAMS were installed in Cuba, but no ICBM's were installed in Cuba (unless it was done years later).
Hi RW, hows you and yours? Yes, that was my thought that they had build the infrastructure to support ICBMs and had the missles on the ships but never got on land.

I was an E-5 when Billy Jeff came in and between budget cuts and the anti-military vibes from the White House a lot of people I knew with 8-10 years in or over 20 bailed out.
heh. Talk about 'anti-military vibes'. I know a now-retired bomb doctor assigned to the Clinton White House. Hillary had a luncheon or something and he was doing a post-event sweep. She told him to bus the tables. He said "I don't work for you". So she had him written up. His boss called him in, told him he had to read and sign the paperwork, which he did. Then he boss chucked in in the trash..
That's not the only hateful story I've heard about the Clintons and the military who had to serve with them.

If it was just SAMs nobody would have been quite as upset.
Of course the Soviets were not installing ICBM's. They didn't need long range intercontinental missiles to reach the US from Cuba, just 90 miles away.
The Soviets installed SS-3 MRBMs and were building launch sites for SS-4 and SS-5 MRBM's. Some 70 nuclear warheads worth.

far from the Obama worship. It has to do with feeling. With individual
feelings about ourselves. Who we are, who we could be. For some this is
a challenge to better ourselves. For too many it is a dream that should
come true without any of us having to compare it to any reality, do any
work.These are feeling of making us individually feel
good...nothing to do with country, or sacrifice, or putting off till
tomorrow. ME ME ME NOW NOW NOW.JFK is what happens when the
celebrity overshadows the reality. History is proving him a lot less
effective President then the times conveyed in the 1960's. The same
will happen to Obama unless he does a lot more homework then he has so
far.We are in the age of self worship, self gratification, self
importance....a whole generation that started with my own. I hope we
survive it all.

Good morning lizards, here's something to buck up the spirits: Statistics!
A look at U.S. presidents' job-approval ratings shows some surprising details: George W Bush is not the least popular president ever. Truman holds that distinction. Nixon also had worse approval rating than Bush. In fact Truman was also the President with the highest ever approval rating of 88%. Bush had the second highest ever quarterly approval ratings at 86%.
When you look at the median approval rating, that is the average between the highest and lowest quarterly approval ratings, Bush scores pretty darn well. As a matter of fact, only his father, Kennedy & Eisenhower scored better than George W. Bush. It's a given Kennedy's approval rating would have slipped further if he had lived out his full term.
President High Low Median
Truman 88 22 55
Eisenhower 76 52 64
Kennedy 78 58 68
Johnson 76 39 57.5
Nixon 73 23 48
Ford 59 39 49
Carter 69 31 50
Reagan 64 39 51.5
H.W. Bush 82 35 58.5
Clinton 42 66 54
G. W. Bush 86 29 57.5
So next time a moonbat crows about how Bush is the most hated president in history, point out the fact that Bush had the 2nd highest quarterly approval rating ever, and the 4th highest average rating out of the past 11 presidents. Not too bad, actually.

Let's see. Let's come up with a candidate that mocks the republic... hmmm.
- Dad - Communist polygamist
- Mom - Communist
- Relatives - illegal aliens
- Raised in a Muslim country and studied the Koran in a mosque. Knows the Muslim Call to Prayer by heart in Arabic.
- Like the Hitler kid, let's name him Hussein
- Black separatist church member
- Say things during the campaign like - remove all our nukes unilaterally, create a civilian national security force that's bigger than the military.
I bet his handlers were stunned that he was elected. Now what?

It's being reported throughout the MSM in Canada that Omar Khadr of the notorious "terrorist" family of Khadr (the father was shot to death in a fire fight; the mother -- covered in black -- on national television, CBC of course, openly praised jihadists; one son injured/paralyzed from the neck down (yeah, but ya know, in Pakistan, there's no freebie health care, hence the mother uses her Canadian "citizenship" to utilize Canada's free health care to have her son treated by the Infidels), and the other son, Omar, is at Gitmo, charged with having thrown a hand-grenade which killed an American medic.) Meanwhile, of course, the pro-terrorist media in Canada has been screaming for Omar's immediate release (I say, park Omar on the lawyer's lawn), and NOW, it's "discovered" that Omar identified Arar as a fellow terrorist staying at al-Qaeda "safe-houses". Yeah, the M. Arar who was "awarded" in excess of 10 million dollars by the Canadian government (on Stephen Harper's watch) in an out-of-court settlement for Arar's claims that he was tortured -- yeah, sure, "I bin tortured! tortured, I tell you!" And, since it was settled out of court, there are no transcripts, zero transparency (who in the hell was representing Canaduh in this law suit? another Syrian?), anyway, the now multi-millionaire Arar must be laughing big time. But, of course, CBC will be there to cover his ass...

Don't know which one is correct, but frankly, despite his denials, I suspect the words "Fat Ass" were spoken to Hillary!
She hated the USSS SO MUCH that she insisted they not be in the same room with her and Bill - even if there were other folks in the room at the same time, and tried to get the US Marine's who stand guard all around the White House, dismissed from that job.

I didn't mention Obama possibly being sworn-in on The Qur'an.
Nevertheless, Obama's father was a Muslim. That makes him a Muslim, rather anyone wants to admitt that fact, or not.
In the eyes of Muslim orthodoxy with Obama claiming now to be a Christian, he is an Apostate in the eyes of the Muslim world.
His only saving grace is, that Islam permits him to lie about his claim to being a Christian to adance overall agendas.

Khadr said Arar was at Afghan camp, court told
I like this detail in the report:
In 2006, a Canadian commission of inquiry cleared him of any links to terrorist activities, leading to a $10.5-million compensation package and an apology from Ottawa, after officials admitted culpability in the affair...
Mr. Justice Dennis O'Connor, who headed the Canadian commission that looked at the Arar affair, concluded in 2006 that “there is no evidence to indicate that Mr. Arar has committed any offense or that his activities constitute a threat to the security of Canada.”
The commission completely sidestepped the question of whether Mr. Arar went to Afghanistan, taking the position that it was not relevant to its mandate.
Get that? The judicial commission which exonerated Arar refused even to consider the issue that he had been at an Al Qaeda camp in Afghanistan, which was central to the charge against him, conspiracy with a terrorist organization.
Also this nice detail mentioned at the end:
The Globe has previously reported that a former Afghan training camp instructor, Mohamad Kamal Elzahabi, who was arrested in the U.S. in 2004, also told the FBI Mr. Arar had been to Afghanistan.
So now we have corroborating testimony placing Arar at the camp. Can we have our $10.5 million back now?

I can't point to a link right now, but I am 99% sure they had not only tactical nukes but also intermediate range missiles IN Cuba. I will look when I have more time, but in almost every book or account that is what I have read. And most important, when they the Soviet Union fell apart and people started talking and the archives were opened, they did indeed have nukes there and ready to go.

And the other dog knows you took him away and he didn't come back.
I hope we have a while before we have to deal with this again; when we got the other poodle, it was from a local person who didn't want to split up the last two. So we got a male and a female; the female plays with her brother and the older dog, but the two males would fight if they got together.

Greets and saluts from the frozen NYC metro area. Lefties are sure to ignore the cold today as the nation swears in the next President of the US, Barack H. Obama. He will take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution.
So help him God.
He's going to need all the help he can get, because all the hype and soaring rhetoric means nothing starting today. He's going to have to actually put up. The media is already trying to put his speech in context against the famous speeches of inaugurations past. He hasn't even given one yet.
I, and my fellow members of the Loyal Opposition will be here cataloging the successes and failures, when the media will report successes only. Expect plans to close Gitmo to fall by the wayside as the reality of the job that confronts Obama will be more difficult than he could have ever imagined.
I have no doubt that his fellow leftists in Congress will attempt to make things as easy for him as possible, and that too is frought with trouble. He will own all the crises on his watch. There is no GOP congress to divert attention upon. Scandals are his. Corruption is his. Foreign policy failures will be his.
He and his fellow Democrats made their living all these years complaining about President Bush and his tactics, and now watch Obama use all the tools created by and for President Bush without so much as a complaint - and expect Obama to demand expanded powers to deal with problems, going far beyond anything previously demanded by Bush.
Watch your checkbooks, because you too will be called upon to be more responsible - by paying more in taxes. And you will be told to like it because it's good to show that we as a nation are responsible.
Never mind that the responsible ones are those who are fiscally responsible, unlike those in government who have never met a balanced budget, had to deal with higher tax burdens, etc. It's the government and those who saw $$$ in front of them and cheap money that made the fiscal crisis the mess that it is today. It's decades of government policies that distorted real estate markets in the name of affordability, which turned out to be anything but - $1 trillion and growing...
Responsibility is what people who earn livings have every single day. It's the people who create and building and do. Obama is looking to make sure that those who do none of that get a piece of the action.
He will speak of how and why we have to provide universal health care as a "solution" to the health care crisis, ignoring that we already do have universal care - anyone can get care. It's paying for it that can be a problem. That compares with Britain, which is lauded for having universal care, but ignores that those who have certain diseases will never get modern treatments or new drugs because they cost too much and governments ration care in the name of universality, when it really means that some get treatment while others are forced to wait.
I'm also sure he's going to try and include lofty rhetoric from FDR and Lincoln, and I have no doubt that the crowds will cheer and shout and enjoy the moment, but it's just that - a moment. The real work begins soon enough...

Just finished talking to a coworker who claims he is "left of center" to hear him start bashing Bush nonstop for his "foreign policy fiascos" and how "Obama needs six months to get the feel of the job." He claims that he will stop blaming Bush in six months. Somehow I'm not buying it. He says that everyone blamed Clinton for stuff that went wrong in Bush's tenure. I rarely heard many folks (except on the right) complain about Clinton. Another coworker tried to explain to him that Clinton's inaction set the stage for 9/11, and he would hear none of it.

"....this was the beginning of the end of reason and common sense." Whoa! PULEEZE. JFK was a certified War hero, had served in the US Senate longer than did Obama (albeit not by much) and was a good looking, extremely gifted speaker, he DID stand up to the Soviets over missiles in Cuba, did put something like 25,000 US Military Advisors in South Vietnam to stop Communist agrression and only fucked up the Bay of Pigs because it occured so soon after he became President and he found that the CIA had assured the Cuban's going in at the Bay of Pigs that the US would give them air cover - something which the CIA, btw, never cleared with Ike ahead of time, nor saw fit to mention to JFK.
He called that off because giving the Cuban "revolutionaries" at the Bay of Pigs US air support was the same thing, legally, as declaring war on Cuba.
The Bay of Pigs was a fiasco, a lot of damn good men died, but you really ought not pin that on JFK - the CIA should have been bitch slapped around for setting up the op and promising US Air cover- essential to the success of the "invasion" without first checking with the CiC at the time and also for being wrong about the Cuban people joining up in a general uprising against Castro when they did no such thing AND showed no such inclination to do so.
The Bay of Pigs was a CIA fiasco from beginning to end and they tried to dodge responsibility for it by blaming in on JFK.
But JFK's policies were SO unpopular that he faced defeat in his re-election bid, which is why he was in Texas on November 22 1963 - to try to drum up support for him and Lyndon Baines *spit* Johnson.
His historical image was burnished solely because he was murdered in office - and WE WATCHED IT Happen.

Thanks Newsjunkie! I love that video...I cry everytime I watch it. Just knowing the pups are happy and healthy again eases the pain.
It does. And knowing there's nothing to make them afraid ...
I've been told some very strange stories by other dog walkers.
One reported that when his dad was dying, he saw his beloved dog, and called his name and spoke to him - as if that dog was waiting to accompany him on that last journey.
Another told me that he'd never had labradors, his father did. when his dad was ded, lots of labradors came to him to greet him, tails wagging, something which never happened before or after.
Its as if they'd been told by their former friend to help that man with his grief.
There are indeed more things between heaven and earth ...

Just finished talking to a coworker who claims he is "left of center" to hear him start bashing Bush nonstop for his "foreign policy fiascos"
I assume this is referring to Iraq. When I hear this line, I ask them to play 'what if' the country had not removed Saddam?
The unavoidable conclusion is that there would be a nuclear arms race between Iraq, Iran and Saudi Arabia. Avoiding that scenario is hardly a fiasco.

You are wrong. By the time Khruschev and JFK finally reached a deal, some were armed, fueled, and ready for launch. And some were believed to be multiple warhead design. About five minutes away from DC. You may want to look for Thirteen Days on DVD. There's a fair amount of supplementary documentation on it, including an interview with Khruschev's son.
One more reason I despise Ayers/Dohrn and associates.

Oh my goodness. That's is heartbreaking. Your pup misses her friend. I want to cry. Just give her extra love and attention. Dogs really have stronger emotional bonds than a lot of people give them credit for. My hubby and I recently split and one dog went with me and he kept the other two. We will get the kids together frequently and when it comes time to go home, its an emotional mess. They dogs don't understand why we can't all be in the same place. It is heart-wrenching. Especially the dachshund. She is a wreck when her dad leaves.
heart wrenching is a good description. I'll just have to give her some time, just like the rest of us. and lots of hugs and kisses. She even jumped up in bed and slept between us last night (a spot usually taken by Jake), because she never really wanted to sleep in the bed.

That God will give our President wisdom and discernment to govern wisely and justly according to the laws we have handed from generation to generation enabling this 43rd transfer of the Office of the President.
Be sure to ask God for a speedy 44th transfer of power.

re: #1050 Jimmah
Wherever you got that 'fact' from, it's wrong. Obama isn't a muslim, despite his father's religion.
The issue is rather more complicated than that. That depends on who you ask. Most Muslims around the world believe Obama is a Muslim precisely because his father was a Muslim. Under Sharia Law, any child born to a Muslim father is automatically considered Muslim. Neither the mother nor the child have any say in the matter.
Furthermore, when Obama was a child in Indonesia he attended mosque and recited the Shahadah. Saying that prayer is a declaration that one is a Muslim. It does not matter that Obama says he never really believed it. Under Sharia law, once a Muslim always a Muslim. Apostasy is illegal in every Muslim country in the world. American Muslims want to make it a crime in the US.
Now Obama says he was never a Muslim because he never really believed in it. He wrote that he was introduced to his Christian faith by Rev. J. Wright after Michelle took him to her church.
The fact remains that to the vast majority of Muslims, Obama is an apostate. That may be a good thing, as a matter of fact. It could encourage millions of other Muslims to leave the faith. Or Obama is a "taqqiyya" or hidden Muslim. I guess we have to take Obama at his word on that point, as we cannot see into his heart.

Anyone here talk about the ceasefire transgressions in Israel?
Mortars fired, checkpoints attacked, a Jordanian aid shipment hijacked by Hamas, and the UNRWA insisting no more aid be sent to Gaza because it is all getting stolen.
Boooor....ring.... let's talk about evil Zionist war crimes instead! This morning I saw a report that "peace groups" were calling for investigations into whether the IDF used depleted uranium shells in Gaza. Yeah, whatever. The media does not want to know the truth about Hamas. Period.

This sad day is here. Michael Scheurer, author, who headed up the bin laden desk under Bush 1, said that Obama has reappointed the same "surrender-istas" that were in charge under Bill Clinton. The interviewer, RINO Michael Schmerconish then said:
"Well I will be disappointed if he doesn't increase the effort to get Bin Laden."
Obama had called Michael Schmerconish prior to the election and got him to come over to the "dark side" - Jedi wise. Michael came out FOR obama prior to the election in large part due to Obama's promises about national security.

Lets be proud of it, this event represents among the finest traditions in America; a peaceful transition of power.
After this, do you think the loonie libs will ever be able to call America racist again?
Think about it.
Our nation is saying something to the world.
1. Despite what others may think, the majority of us are not racists.
2. We transfer power cordially to even our staunches adversaries, if they have earned the vote of the people.
Let us put politics behind us for a day, and celebrate what has made our nation great. It is our committment to the principle that the people are soverign and all of us can aspire for great things in our nation.
This is the worst aspect of politics - affirmative action - and the Peter Principle combined - or it could be an example of the Dilbert Principle
The Dilbert Principle refers to a 1990s satirical observation by Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams stating that companies tend to systematically promote their least-competent employees to management (generally middle management), in order to limit the amount of damage they're capable of doing. In the Dilbert strip of February 5, 1995 Dogbert says that "leadership is nature's way of removing morons from the productive flow".

One theory I heard is that his sister-in-law, who was schizophrenic, killed the baby and Lindbergh hushed it up. I don't believe that. There was a lot of forensic evidence against Hauptmann, especially the homemade ladder and the marked bills found in his attic.

2. We transfer power cordially to even our staunches adversaries, if they have earned the vote of the people.

I agree, it is historical for two reasons. If obama gets his way this will be the beginning of the end of a capitalistic America.
A lot of his advisors are socialists, some the card carrying kind.
I pray that he does not succeed in taking the Country down the socialism path. I pray that no harm comes to him and that he realizes that America is a good Country and the War on Terror is the one thing that has kept us safe. I pray that the military is kept strong and allowed to finish the job and keep America safe and strong.

In a coat he borrowed from james dean
And a voice that came from you and me,Oh, and while the king was looking down,
The jester stole his thorny crown.

What is the "magic" which has caused them to assume the near-crippling burden of these feather-light "pledges?"
I agree with all your points. But the Dear Leader aspect of the video is the scary part to me and I don't think you can over emphasize it. These people would not have made these pledges before because they are not pledging to the President as an office or institution, they are pledging to Obama that man.
When 50 Hollywood Narcissists pledge "to be a servant to our President and all mankind" a little buzzer goes off in my head.

CBBHO's jaw is clenched very tightly.
He just mentioned Israel. Heh.
Ya know I'm not watching this cause I choose not to; play by play isn't really necessary is it?
If people want to watch, let 'em. Let the rest of us go our own way.

It's no wonder. Baccardi 151. Jet fuel.
A fifth of that, 7 bottles of coke, and it demolished entire dorm room, when I was in college, so many years ago.
College...151 Rum Daiqueris in a big gulp cup. Walked out the front door to walk over to the neighbors and don't remember anything the rest of the night. Strong stuff

re: #1660 Ben Hur You're joking, right? Paul Belien, the Brussels Journal and Vlaams Belang party are all just covers for Neo-Nazi's and Fascists in Europe. Disinviting them is GOOD NEWS.

President BHO sworn in at 12:05 PM, ET !
Now...... Duck, due to bad timing, here comes bad luck and trouble, not good for any of us, so says the soothsayer (astrologer):
"In the end however, the people know they are also at the behest and mercy of those who lead them—a fact plainly stated in the Moon of this chart being positioned at 29 Scorpio, a position known as 'Void of Course' which states that the issues being held in trust by the Moon go unanswered and thus ultimately come to naught. This tells us that no matter what the people go into this inauguration with, what they get will not be exactly what they expect, hope or anticipate.
And what will they get? Well, if Barack Obama takes the Oath of Office before 12:29 pm (EST), the Moon is still Void of Course, telling us that all the wishes, needs and willingness of the people will go through a period of disillusionment and feeling powerless before they reformulate based on issues we don't yet know. If, however, Barack Obama takes the Oath after 12:29 pm, the Moon will have moved into Sagittarius, clearly indicating the inauguration of a new era, one built on precepts of learning and knowing better. The details of that administration will be determined by the exact time he takes the Oath, so watch the clock."
See full article at: [Link: www.daykeeperjournal.com...]
Moon void of course, Mercury retrograde (bad), and big Solar eclipse next week - all are inauspicious, to say the least. Best of luck, Obama.
Just saying! He said this is "his Time." Looks like he blew his "timing". FDR and Nancy Reagan paid much attention to timing.
Me, I am praying.

How about A Tale of Two Cities? It's about France. Oops!
All kidding aside, I'm sorry to hear of your unemployment. I assume this was unwelcome news to you. What field of work were you in and what are you looking for now?
It's an ego blow. Financially I have no worries, but still, no one likes to be rejected. I've been a nursing home administrator for 10 years but wouldn't mind finding something else to manage.

What you suggested borders on animal cruelty, for the four-legged ass, that is.
I have not been watching the MSM circus today and have not viewed any MSM website. Not worth it.
Everyone here have a good day while I go inject Everclear into some fruit to pass the day.

re: #1313 Lincolntf
This morning I briefly hit the on button for my radio, to check the weather report, and what do I hear but something to the effect that it's a great day for black people everywhere. Then they go on to drop the name of a black female politician that got elected to office in 1974 and an CFL football player.
I couldn't turn the silly thing off fast enough. I swear the media hype is so artificially pumped up it's bordering on abusive.

Today is a first in our history, not for the obvious reasons, but for the first time in history we are inaugurating a President and Vice-President who neither has served in the Armed Forces in any capacity. Before today there was always at least one of them a veteran in some branch of the Armed Forces.
