Does Your Post Invite a Response?

Those who write and read blogs have certainly discovered that some blog entries so readily evoke a response that your hands are practically pulled to the keyboard. Other blog entries leave you sitting at the computer with a 'that's nice, so what' expression on your face. Obviously the last example is not the desired effect.

More than likely I am currently doing what I just talked about. I posted two entries on my Blogger Party blog. They are both book reviews, but content is quite different. The first one (Jeeves) is the most appealing and was posted first. Vision is more studious and demanding, as well as politically incorrect.

So what will happen? Will anyone care to comment on these two entries? I don't know, but I hope so.

Carry On, Jeeves

Global Warming Solution?

Once they grasped the imminent danger facing the global community, U.S. decision-makers had no choice but to act quickly, and so they did. Petroleum-based fuels are possibly the largest source of man-made carbon so it was only logical to reduce gasoline consumption. The solution proposed was to start blending ethanol (produced from corn) with gasoline. This has been going on long enough now that we can access the impact of this program.

Since the big push to use ethanol/gasoline blends:

Gasoline prices have continued to rise.

Food prices have risen significantly. Initially it was foods directly related to corn or corn syrup, but now the price increases are obvious in almost all food types.

Farmers are intending to use more of their land for corn (and less for other grains like wheat and oats) because the prices of corn are so high.

Around the world, available food supplies have become more scarce and prices have gone up significantly.

Riots over food supply and cost in places like Somalia have resulted in injury and death of people.

Scientists have determined that if you correctly analyze the carbon footprint of raising and processing corn, that there is little if any reduction in carbon emissions compared to petroleum production.


This should be a wake-up call to the decision-makers that they have to consider all factors when developing such a strategy. It is not acceptable to upset so many applecarts and then have no environmental benefit to show for it. There will not be one perfect solution. Rather many, many trade-offs will need to be considered.

Obama Has a Boyfriend?

Photobucket

Larry Sinclair, a Minnesoata democrat, says you only need to go back to 1999 to see Obama using crack cocaine. For dessert, Larry Sinclair and Obama enjoyed homosexual activity.

Larry Sinclair believes a presidential candidate should be honest and that is why he is speaking out. Since the media has had no interest in his story, he put his message out on Youtube. He has had over a quarter million visitors so far.

Sinclair is willing to submit to a polygraph test and now he will get his chance. Someone has offered him $10,000 for the right to record the test and $100,000 if he passes the test. How is that for academic motivation?

Meet Obama. He has already stated a strong pro-homosexual position, but how many Americans have contemplated him being gay?

How many ways can Obama deceive the American people? Shall he also lead by deception?

Obama's Friend Bill Ayers

Photobucket

Is that an American flag he is standing on? Yes it is. Disrespect for flag and country is one of the consistent themes of liberal democrats. This is what the democrat party has to offer voters in Indiana and North Carolina today.

Both Clinton and Obama stand firmly in the left wing of the democrat party. They cover it up as much as they can, but sooner or later voters do catch on.

Bill Ayers is a known and admitted terrorist and democrat radical. He has been involved in making bombs and blowing up U.S. buildings. When interviewed after 9/11, he said he only wished he had blown up more.

It was at the home of Bill Ayers that Obama kicked off his campaign for U.S. Senate. Obama's argument is that he was only 8 when Ayers bombs were going off. That may be true, but apparently a much older Obama is quite comfortable to be in the Ayers camp. By the way, the picture was taken in 2001.

It only takes a few sound bites from the media and most democrat voters are lulled into a dull stupor - not able to see who their candidate really is.

Which Race We Talking About?

She was the only female running in the race. She poured every ounce of her being into this race - running her heart out. But, alas, she came in second. She finished with head held high, but she was quite injured and subsequently euthanized on the track.

I'm talking about Eight Belles, of course, and the Kentucky Derby. You know, the horse Hillary put her money on.

Riddle - What Am I?

What Am I?

This is a riddle. When you think you have the answer, click on the link below. You might be surprised.

I live in California and I've been doing my thing for 107 years.

I use little energy and keep all my carbon to myself.

I like to hang around with firemen since they take good care of me.

Thomas Edison would be so pleased to meet me.

That might be enough clues. Here is the answer!

Jeremiah Wright - Racist

Through the wonders of video recording and YouTube, Americans have recently come to understand what the Reverend Jeremiah Wright of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ is about. For myself, and many others, it is a shock that this level of racism and hatred still exists in a public forum in the U.S. Truth is - such poisoned minds do exist and they are a major influence in people like Barack Hussein Obama.



Think about it!

Super What?

With Hillary's success at the polls this past Tuesday, there is a good chance that neither she or Obama will have enough delegates secured after all the primary elections to grab the democrat nomination for President. Bring on the super delegates!

The official name for super delegates is "unpledged party leader and elected official delegate." These people are super delegates merely because of their status as current or former elected officeholders and party officials. You might say these are people that hold or have held positions of power or influence in the party.

When the democrat convention is held, the unique privilege these delegates hold is freedom to vote for whomever they choose. They are not obliged to represent the choice of the people. So be it - that is the system.

Think about this for a minute. As the convention draws near, and the race stays close, can you imagine the discussions between the super delegates and the people of Hillary and Obama. Handshakes, persuasion, discussion, promises, support and 'under-the-table-surprises' must abound! After a long and close race, is their anything that a super delegate cannot ask for, or be offered? It would be interesting to know!

A Silent Gathering of 500?

Talk radio host Glenn Beck recently interviewed John Coleman, the man who started the Weather Channel. John Coleman is one of many scientists who say it is high time to speak out against Al Gore's global warming alarmism.

This week there has been a convention of scientists meeting in New York. Approximately 500 scientists are in attendance and a number of them are well known and highly respected. Regardless of where you live, whether New Zealand, China, England or New York, it is almost certain that you have not heard about this convention. Why would it be such a secret, especially since the meetings are held within a few blocks of the major TV network channels?

The reason for the silence is that these scientists are not in step with the politically correct view of global warming. Their ideas clash with the intent of the media and are thus ignored.

John Coleman is hopeful that it is not too late for the truth to have an impact on people's thinking. He has questioned if there is financial fraud associated with carbon credits. Think of an infomercial where they are working hard to sell something to you in any way they can. They show you a product and then a few actors wrap it up in enthusiastic praise. Finally, you cave-in and order - only to be disappointed later when you see the product is not all they said it would be.

In the same way, if you pay me for carbon credits, I can take the money and tell you that I will do something to reduce global warming. Was your money well spent? You will never know. Cautious shoppers will bear in mind: there is significant doubt as to whether man can impact global climate change, for man's contribution of carbon may not be the issue. Since we are talking about a global issue you might also consider that China's outpouring of greenhouse gases will by far outdo any good your money will bring about. Never you mind, though. I will take your money and praise your global activism. If the government takes the money, you will have even less chance of seeing a benefit.

John Coleman is looking for a group of lawyers to consider if this is financial fraud. The atmosphere of a courtroom would be effective for clearing the air and getting to the truth.

Observations on Global Warming

Climate Change?

Recently I came across this collection of observations on a blog. Based on other reading, I believe this is generally true. The author was not specified so I cannot give credit.

"Global warming is a sham and is nothing more than a political cause to change the world as we know it. The Arctic Ice cap is reforming. The Antarctic Ice cap is at record depth. Solar activity has slowed and we are experiencing near record freezes in many parts of the world. Planetary temperatures worldwide have been decreasing the last 5 years. Here in San Diego, the average temperature for the entire year was a full1 1 degree colder than 2006."

Take time and opportunity to pull away from the mind-engulfing alarmism that the media is pumping out and see what is really going on!

March 4 - Election Day

Big Day in Toledo, Ohio. Of course there are the Presidential Primary Candidates to be voted on. Rush Limbaugh makes a good case for the benefit of Hillary winning (just for a while). Top Republican candidates are not so close.

Far more interesting is the ballot for those who reside in Toledo. They have the chance to vote down a school levy for Toledo Public Schools. Until the education system is fixed, that is the best thing to do.

Toledo is also asking citizens to renew a 3/4% income tax. Even though it has been around for 20 years, the tax has always been labeled temporary. What a great opportunity for Toledo citizens to send a message to the corrupt local government. The union/democrat control that has the city in a dangerous head-lock needs to be told, "Enough!"

What will the people of Toledo do with this opportunity. Bear in mind the mayor (one Carlton S. Finkbeiner - jerk with no respect for the Marines) has been threatening people that he will cut police and fire support for the city! These extortionist threats are absurd and certainly an abuse of power.

Hats off to WSPD (talk radio) and especially Maggie Thurber for showing that such cuts are not necessary, even if the tax is defeated.

P.S. Conclusion: In the end,Toledoans proved themselves stupid on both counts!

The Fraud of Global Warming

Those are strong words! John Coleman, founder of the Weather Channel (1982) shared that concept at the 2008 International Conference on Climate Change on March 3 in New York. John Coleman is highly critical of global warming alarmism and says that the Weather Channel has become an outlet for it. One example is from December 2006 when Heidi Cullen (an employee) argued on her blog that,

"weathercasters who had doubts about human influence on global warming should be punished with decertification by the American Meteorological Society."

He also indicated a strategy for gaining control of this problem: He advocated suing those who sell carbon credits, and that would include Al Gore. (article here)

At the same conference, Lord Christopher Monckton, a policy adviser to former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher stated that science will eventually prevail and the 'scare' of global warming will go away.

I leave you with two comments: The statement from Ms. Cullen is not surprising at all. The liberal left in the U.S. seldom have any interest in debating facts. Their approach is consistently emotion and outrage and then whatever it takes to squelch the expression of any opposing views.

Secondly, I applaud John Coleman. It is always refreshing to see a man more concerned about truth than political correctness. This must be a great encouragement for the many climatologist who know that global warming is a scam, but are afraid to speak up. Way to go, John Coleman!

What is Obama's Magic?

As anyone knows, especially Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama is gathering a lot of support and a very strong following. Many have commented that his influence over people resembles that of a religious zealot. His 'rookie' efforts seem to be more effective than the tried and true political power and corruption that Hillary is relying upon.

The magic of Obama is that he is a blank slate. His glorious speeches are made up of warm and fuzzy hope-filled visions of future glory. He does not talk details or specifics on the issues. Rather, he leaves everything wide open.

He puts the blank slate in front of your eyes and then allows you to fill it with your own fantasies and desires. Plug in whatever you want and then find a stamp of approval in his words.

Silly, oh so silly, is any person that would get sucked into this fantasy. Campaign speeches are meaningless unless they merge with reality after the election. Obama is living in a dream world. One example:

In his TV commercial I saw last night he makes the case for needing health care reform. Then he makes this statement, "We must fix health care, but first we must fix Washington."

There is no way Obama is going to fix, or even significantly change Washington. Our government is a huge beast that will not in any way be infuenced by his presence.

Wake up people!

February 1 at the Dentist

I had not planned it this way - it's just how it worked out. I had a dentist appointment this morning, on February 1st. So what, you say?

In case you did not know it, February is Children's Dental Health Month. This makes February a bit unique and will give you something to think about besides your bills.

Interesting side-note - I posted on the same topic last year!

For the children's teeth

By the way - no cavities!

Dennis

Where has time gone?

It is truly amazing that I have not posted here since last September! So hard to believe. The whole time I was alive and had ample access to a computer. I just got too busy with other things.

When Blogfeast went down for good, it was certainly a blow to my blogging enthusiasm, and my momentum really lagged. I was also investing time in other money making opportunities. I told myself there must be something to this PTR/PTC/PTP business. There is and I will talk more about that at another time.

Blogging is writing, and writing is creative - I think that is why it can be fun.

So plan on stopping back here. I've got lots to talk about, including Clinton, Obama, Romney and McCain!

Oh yea, I have not missed a beat of the sorry political secene.

Chuck Schumer (democrat) Slams U.S. Military

Consistent with the heart of the democrats, Senator Chuck Schumer came back from vacation ready to cut-down the U.S. troops. His words are cutting and it is hard to believe that any Senator of the U.S. could first of all say such a thing, and second of all get away with it.

Even though the troop surge is working and General Petraeus will have good things to report, the insane Bush-hatred (which is the one identifying mark of democrats today) cannot tolerate any good news. Tear down the country, tear down the troops, but whatever you do don't give up on the pursuit of defeat and shame for the U.S.

Schumer on the Senate floor giving credit to the terrorists and insulting the U.S. troops:

"And let me be clear, the violence in Anbar has gone down despite the surge, not because of the surge. The inability of American soldiers to protect these tribes from al Qaeda said to these tribes we have to fight al Qaeda ourselves. It wasn't that the surge brought peace here. It was that the warlords took peace hear, created a temporary peace here. And that is because there was no one else there protecting."

Where is the call for Schumer's resignation? You cannot tell me he supports the troops or the U.S.

Nappy headed hos

To tell you the truth, when the Don Imus story broke I could not even tell you what 'nappy headed ho' means. This new language that is fostered in the hip-hop and rap worlds doesn't intersect with my life in any way, shape or form (I am grateful!). It would appear that Don Imus must listen to too much hip-hop and rap music. For a radio personality to hear words from a portion of the culture around us and repeat them is almost unspeakable.

As insults go, this must be the supreme one. It is so powerful that the Rutgers team had no choice but to take it seriously. Now they must live in fear that they really are hos and it wasn't just unguarded words from a radio DJ who has probably said equivalent statements at least a hundred times. At least that is what I pick up from others.

As long as Don Imus was apologizing to every person of colored skin on the planet, I think he best get around to apologizing to white folk, such as myself. Otherwise those who are always color-mindful, might assume that all white folk consider this group of girls to be nappy headed hos. It has also been reported that a couple of players may even fall out of the definition of nappy headed because their hair is different. This will likely be changed.

We will never know, but I wonder if this would have ever been an issue if the Don Imus regular listeners were the only ones who heard this comment. As I understand it there was a media group that had hired a person to listen to every word that Don Imus said on air - always looking for the opportunity. When that person had the word, they had a list of 100 reporters to send the information to. With technology as it is in our country, we must remember that just because a story is on the evening news in every state, it does not mean it is a big story.

Enough for now, but there is more to be said.

February is Dental Health Month

To be more exact, February is National Children's Dental Health Month. This is sponsored by the American Dental Association. This awareness program does make February more special.

Have you ever wondered what a dentist might do to make children more comfortable about visiting? Well here are some ideas from the office of a practicing pediatric dentist that you might want to consider or compare.

  • Explain healthy habits like healthy snacks, how to take care of your teeth and the importance of regular dental checkups.
  • Reception area includes books, puzzles, games, Game Cube and pinball machine. Another office actually had 3 arcade machines.
  • A "No Cavities Club" was formed that includes a weekly drawing for prizes.
  • Use of air abrasion (drill-less) dentistry. With this technique tooth decay can be removed without the drill, and sometimes without the shot. This technique is not always able to replace the drill.
  • A laser cavity detection system makes it possible to find cavities when they are quite small and easier to deal with.
  • Nitrous oxide if needed to help decrease anxiety.
  • TV's head phones and DVD's to keep them busy.

As you can see, there are quite a number of things that can be done to accommodate children and take away most of the anxiety associated with a trip to the dentist.

Do you need to make an appointment?
