Street View, Literally

Over the years there have been numerous discussions about the 'Street View' feature of Google Maps.  There has been concern that the Google van equipped with special cameras was recording too much as it moved down the street.  Recently in Worcester, United Kingdom, the 'Street View' camera picked up much more than the neighborhood.  The cameras actually recorded the body of a 10 year old girl lying on the street.  Is she dead?

Fortunately, the girl was not dead, or even hurt.  Her and a friend had been playing and she had the fleeting thought to lay down and pretend she was dead.  It was at that point that the Google van drove by.  Turns out the girl didn't think anything of the vehicle she heard driving by.  Neither did she know her picture had been taken.

Azura, the girl,  said: ‘I didn’t know anything about the Google Street View car (recording me). I fell over while I was playing with my friend and thought it would be funny to play dead.  ‘I’m quite chuffed I’m on the Internet. It is quite funny and I can’t wait to tell my classmates when I go back to school.’

Bloomberg wants to forget!

You may have seen in the news that New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg wants to build a Muslim mosque very close to Ground Zero. Liberal democrats seem to like this multicultural inclusivity, but most Americans find it appalling.

This sign for a bus ad campaign in New York was rejected.



When asked about the rejection, CBS Outdoor stated "images of 911 were not allowed." In a series of compromise revisions, the plane, smoke and flames were removed. Then the plane was put back in, but far from the building.

This exercise in censorship led to Freedom Defense Initiative filing a lawsuit against the city of New York. It was the Metropolitan Transit Authority that in the end refused the campaign because it contained 911 images.

Eventually, The MTA woke up and the jihad against free speech was stopped. The ad ran as originally designed.

As we approach September, it will be so important to post plenty of true 911 pictures so people like Bloomberg cannot squelch the truth.

The First Jock

The worthlessness of Obama continues to manifest itself in new ways. According to the liberal, Obama-loving Washington Post:

Quote begins:
"You must always remember that the president is about 6."

This advice was offered more than 100 years ago by a British friend of Teddy Roosevelt's. The nation has matured since then, and so has the presidency. Now the president is about 12.

While President Obama's wife and younger daughter were conducting international relations in Majorca on Sunday with Spain's King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia, the commander in chief was at home hosting a fantasy camp for himself. He and his buddies had a birthday weekend barbecue and basketball game with LeBron James, Alonzo Mourning, Magic Johnson and other legends of the sport.

The day before, it was a four-hour golf outing for Obama and the boys. On Monday, he hosted the Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints at the White House and talked about his own exploits on the gridiron last year with Saints quarterback Drew Brees. "He tossed me a nice tight spiral that I then lateraled to a kid on [Dallas Cowboys linebacker] DeMarcus Ware's shoulders," the president recalled. "I also want to point out I beat [Pittsburgh Steelers safety] Troy Polamalu over the middle on that throw." Obama turned to Brees. "You remember?"
Quote ends.

I suspect First Jock barely puts in a 40 hour week. Come the weekend, he has not a care in the world as Michelle and he spend our tax dollars on their pleasure. Definitely time to oust this loser!

Experience Asperger's Syndrome

Consider reading:

"House Rules" by Jodi Picoult

This book paints a realistic picture of life with Asperger's Syndrome. The fact that A.S. leads to a murder mystery will keep you pulled in. Here is the brief description from the library:

"With Asperger's syndrome, teenager Jacob Hunt is unable to have the same kind of social life other boys his age have. However, like other kids with AS, he has homed in on one particular interest: forensic analysis. He normally shows up to crime scenes and helps solve the case, but this time he is the prime suspect. When a murder leads police to question Jacob, they interpret his AS symptoms as a sign of guilt and cast a very public spotlight on Jacob and his family."

To Marinate a Cat

Let's just suppose you were going to eat your cat, and you thought that marinating would make the treat even more delectable. How would you do it? What would you marinate it with? Oh, by the way, you marinate the cat before it's dead. At least in Buffalo that is how they do it.

Sick, weird, disturbed or violent? Maybe all of the above.

Worthwhile Bumper Sticker

I liked the bumper sticker I saw today:

"I'll honor your president just like you honored mine!"

For eight years, democrats said the most nasty and dis-respectful things about President George Bush. Most of it was lies, which is why we saw it in the mainstream media every night.

So, what are the chances that a reasonable American citizen would honor Osama Obama, the first african president of the USA? Cannot imagine it ever happening, since he has clearly demonstrated that he knows nothing. Spouting campaign lies is all the community organizer has done and continues to do. Get Rid Of The Loser!

Giving Blood

One reason you might give blood to another person is that you are dead - tends to lower your resistance to any previous phobias.

Mauricio Mendez Lopez, 42 from Bartow, Fla has acknowledged drinking the blood of his brother, but does not remember what else happened. In a nutshell, the two men were fighting about one woman until a 15 pound dumbbell connected with the head of one of the men. The three are related to each other. Cruz did not die until Lopez came back later and stabbed him to death.

The woman later reported to the police "Lopez left with a plastic cup in his hand that appeared to hold blood. She said he drank from the cup in a strange ritual from their native Mexico.

All three adults are reported to be illegal immigrants. No doubt, Obama and Michelle (when she is broke in Spain) will do everything they can to promote these three up to the Whitehouse, or maybe the Supreme Court.

Which One Is The Wife?

When Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi get to celebrating the dumping of Proposition 8 by a gay judge, Portia becomes the wife. I guess that means Ellen is the husband.

In a bizarre, anti-feminist move, Portia de Rossi is taking the name of her beloved and becoming Portia Lee James DeGeneres.

What do you think of that?

O.B.A.M.A.

If you were one that made the wrong decision, then own up to it and vow never to do it again!

Kagan Analogy

Elena Kagan approved for the U.S. Supreme Court - I can help you understnad this.

Elena Kagan being chosen as a Supreme Court Justice is equivalent to Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize. Both decisions unbelievably ridiculus, and yet standard operating procedure for the Obama administration.

Obama, Birthday and the Giraffe

Those in the Obama cult (Organizing for America) are celebrating his birthday today. Of course, without a birth certificate, noone really knows. Forty nine years old and he is probably the most famous community organizer to hit the planet. As I was pondering why I was not celebrating this remarkable day, I came across an article about a baby giraffe being born in a zoo.

With little effort I found these similarities between Obama and a baby giraffe.

1. Long neck. One by nature's design, the other because of a mega-dose of pride and arrogance.

2. Wobbly legs. Obama's time as President has only confirmed what half the country knew even before he was elected - he is weak and wobbly as President. True Americans can find no reason to follow the first African president, for his lack of integrity and principles means he could topple at any time.

3. Spots. The giraffe has spots and markings, so does Obama. A leopard cannot change his spots, and neither can Obama. His spots were formed as an anti-American socialist longing for communism to rule the U.S. He and his wife despise the U.S. no less today than they did back then.

My apologies to the baby giraffe. Hopefully the emotional wounds inflicted by this comparison will heal quickly!

Meet Maxine Waters

Commentator Michelle Malkin has nicely captured Maxine Waters in this introduction:

"Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters of California is notorious for her high decibel rants against corporate executives and career exploitation of identity politics. Class warfare and racial division are her two-decade-long stock and trade. She would normally be first in line (and in front of the cameras) to lambaste the very kind of Porsche-driving, luxury beach house-partying bank officials who begged her for a government handout. If they were white, that is."

Creative Refreshments

This is ironic. I just went to get a cup of coffee, and I noticed that the company name on the coffee pot is 'Creative Refreshments'. Now, what do you think about that? Can you think of any refreshment more 'creative' than a cup of old coffee, which isn't much better when freshly brewed. What are they thinking?

Coffee - caffeine first, taste second!

The Cojones Factor

In a recent speech, Sarah Palin made this statement:

“Jan Brewer has the cojones that our president does not have. If our own president will not enforce our federal law, more power to Jan.”

Most people understand what Sarah Palin was saying, and she is absolutely correct. To ‘have the cojones’ means to have the backbone, grit, guts, moxi, sand or gumption to do the right thing; to do what needs to be done.

Obama is nothing more than a weenie, and is concerned only about his own well being. Jan Brewer, Governor of Arizona, is doing what she needs to do to manage the illegal immigrant problem that is right on her door step. By the way, she is also enforcing existing Federal Law. Consider how many Federal employees we pay in the area of law enforcement, and yet they are not willing to do what Jan Brewer is doing.

Three cheers for Sarah Palin and Jan Brewer! Obama should go away and never come back!

Actually, that is not what I am writing about, though. I was thinking about a lady like Sarah Palin using the term ‘cojones’. The word is Spanish for testicles and previously would have been considered somewhat vulgar or offensive for public conversation. The earlier American version of the expression was to say that someone does not ‘have the balls’ to do something. Once again, this is an expression that most women would not be comfortable using.

As happens sometimes, a word is used and eventually develops its own meaning. Thus, when a woman uses the term ‘cojones’ in conversation and does not even blush or wince, you can assume she is not thinking of testicles.

I have been equally surprised by another expression that women use in conversation, and that is ‘brown nose’. The historical implication of that expression is clear and for a woman to casually use it means it has taken on a new interpretation.

Maybe you know of another example.

Shall We Make BP Suffer?

Now that the BP oil release has been capped and most of the oil either cleaned up or lost to sea, we can get down to the important issue of how much penalty should be paid by BP. What do you say? Shall we drain them dry?

The minds of many Americans are captivated by the liberal agenda and the propaganda they are fed daily by the democrats and the mainstream media. This propaganda boldly declares big business as evil and would love to see it crumble.

This is one strategy, for sure, and the agenda is at least in part to prevent another such disaster. But we do not want to miss the fact that blame does not lie totally with BP. EPA is charged with the responsibility to oversee oil handling activities in our waterways. EPA has at sometime in the past approved the spill contingency plan that states the planned response to a major release. Why did EPA not do their job right, and why are people not asking how we can punish the EPA?

In addition, we must note that BP funded and led the charge throughout this cleanup – not EPA. I think BP has been punished enough.

(No, I do not have any BP stock!)

Google Sites Meets Dusty

Special Day For All!

I have just created my first page on Google Sites. This feature used to be called Google Pages. I am absolutely not a web wizard of any sort, but still I was able to create this page.

My first google site.

No doubt, you will want to check it out, and you will love the contents!

Have a wonderful day!

A Dusty Conclusion

This issue partly caught my eye because it is an excellent example of what is wrong with not only EPA, but also most of big government. In a suit of arrogance and powered by an ego-driven engine, EPA believes they are big enough to change anything they choose. This obnoxious confidence in who they think they are leads them to create laws and regulations before they have any solid ideas for how to meet the new standards. This cart-before-the-horse approach causes a lot of confusion and wastes tons of resources.

EPA is way out of their league on this one.

As usual, we must wait to see what happens.

Can We Beat Dusty?

Tell me, if you can, exactly how will U.S. EPA reduce the amount of particulate leaving a farm? In one of the earlier pieces of this series I mentioned the control of dust at manufacturing facilities. Consider these standard approaches for controlling dust on a smaller scale:

1. spraying a parking lot or roadway with water at least once a day, and possibly more.
2. using water mixed with an organic emulsion to spray the dusty area (use of oil or petroleum products is no longer legal).
3. paving the area
4. reducing the speed of all vehicles that travel the dusty area, so less particulate is kicked up

That is about the extent of available dust control methods. You tell me, which of these is in any way possible for a farm?

By the way, there is a reason that soybeans are harvested when they are dry. If they are not dry, they will have to be dried prior to storage. (Think of the carbon emissions!)

Let EPA Take On Dusty

At this point, those representing the farming community are not making noise about the cost of determining current ambient concentrations. They are more concerned about the effect caused by approving the new lower ambient air quality standard. Once the new standards are approved, EPA will be required by law to demonstrate where the standards are being met and where not. This new standard could potentially create the scenario where a county that has never exceeded an ambient air quality standard, is now non-attainment for particulate.

EPA will need to determine what areas of the country do not meet the new standard. Then it will determine who is contributing to the excess of particulate emissions and develop programs to bring the particulate concentration below the final standard.

Farmers are quite smart to not want EPA to have this control!

How Dusty Am I?

When farmers hear of the proposed regulation, no doubt they wonder where they stand with regard to the new standard. Are they already generating dust at a level that exceeds the standard? Or, do they have nothing to worry about? Maybe they almost meet the new standard, but not quite.

How can they find out? The concentration of particulate in the ambient air leaving their farm is most likely determined in one of two ways:

1. The most direct approach is to use ambient air sampling equipment to measure the concentration of particulate leaving the farm. This ambient monitoring program must take into account variable wind conditions, and also variability of activity on the farm. Ultimately you want to prove that the ‘most dusty’ conditions still meet the ambient air quality standard.
2. The second approach may not be so obvious. It involves running air dispersion computer models. Necessary input data includes information about the property, wind conditions, level of activity on the farm and days with rainfall. Other parameters may also be required to represent real world conditions to the computer model. The computer model is run and generates a grid of anticipated high ambient concentrations.

Both of these methods will cost the farmer money, and I am not talking pocket change. Is this really a good idea?

Define Dusty

So how dusty is too dusty? Exactly what is the EPA proposal that has farmers concerned?

According to the letter from the 21 Senators, the issue involves EPA’s current review of the NAAQS (national ambient air quality standard) for particulate. The Clean Air Act requires an EPA review of these air quality standards every 5 years. The air quality standard is the benchmark that determines the amount of particulate matter allowable before generating health concerns.

The existing NAAQS for particulate is 150 ug/M3. That is micro-grams of particulate per cubic meter of air. EPA’s recent proposal involves reducing this standard to 65 – 85 ug/M3, making the new standard twice as stringent as the old.

Big Dusty Deal or Not?

So what do you think about the EPA intending to control the dust generated on farms?

When dust is kicked up on a farm, some of the particles are large enough they will settle out and fall back to the ground. The concern for EPA is the smaller particles that remain airborne and eventually become part of the air you and I breathe. The inhalation of particles from all kinds of sources is proving to be more of a health concern. Shall we all agree that the EPA is on the right track?

Maybe not. A letter addressed to Lisa Jackson, US EPA Administrator is contains this statement: “We respect efforts for a clean and healthy environment, but not at the expense of common sense.” This letter is signed by 21 of the U.S. Senators.

Don’t pitch your common sense just yet!

Dusty is the Farmer?

Apparently the U.S. EPA is giving consideration as to how they can crackdown on farm dust. Farm dust can be generated by livestock walking, the harvesting of soybeans on a dry day or a vehicle driving on a gravel road. These and similar activities occur frequently on any working farm.

Many who have worked in industry have experienced how hard it is to control dust from a parking lot or material handling operation. That is absolutely peanuts compared to controlling dust from farm activities!

Undecided

It has been over a year since I posted on this blog. Life is always changing and my blogging interests have changed. Remembering how much I have enjoyed blogging in the past, I have often wanted to start again, but I have a problem. It is a simple problem, not complicated. It is just so hard for me to decide what to write about and what kind of blog I want to have. Much of what I wrote in the past was fueled by passion about the politics of our country. My core beliefs on that situation have not changed, but I am not so inclined to spend time on it these days. The current President, although the politically correct skin color, is so worthless as an individual as a president that I could just puke! See, you got me going again.

So, if you do not want me to rant and rave about Obama and the worthless politicians running this country, give me another idea.

Have a nice day.

When you send a boy ...

So now we have a man of little wisdom, intelligence or experience talking to our enemies. What good can come out of this? Has the world been waiting for a 'community organizer' to bring peace to one and all?

Today, B. Hussein gets to flappin' on Arab TV, trying to build wonderful relations between the U.S. and the Muslim World.

Of course the first item of business is to apologize for the nasty U.S. Twenty or thirty years ago we used to be so close in relations, but then the U.S. was bad.

Secondly, Obama attacks the Muslim faith! That's right. B. Hussein is telling the Arab world that the white infidels are actually their friends, they just don't realize it. If they believe the black one, then they will have to get all new text books for their schools.

'Kill the infidels' is a key component of their religion. Who is B. Hussein to tell them differently? (It could be that black panther leftists, like obama get really confused on these issues.)

I suppose this is a practice run for the upcoming negotiation with Iran. They must be our friends too, right?

Armed with the 'audacity of hope', we should not give up our dream about the day obama gets his head out of his butt and wakes up. It's just too bad he is in the Whitehouse.

By the way, when is the last time you heard anyone of Muslim faith apologize for 911?

obama's double talk

If you listen carefully to what obama says, he usually tries to talk both sides of an issue when he talks. Here is one example:

In the beginning of the article, the black one is quoted as saying, "Let me be clear: Our goal is not to further burden an already struggling industry."

He then goes on to say how the government is going to force automobile manufacturer's to improve fuel efficiency. President Bush had already shown that the 2007 law calling for these new fuel standards will cost at least $100 billion. As long as it looks 'green', the black one doesn't care what it cost the taxpayer and consumer.

What I cannot figure out is why O. Hussein doesn't just hire 500,000 terrorists and illegal immigrants to check tire pressure. During the campaign - inflating tires was determined to be the ultimate energy fix?

Carol Browner is a Socialist Pig

Turns out that incoming White House energy-environment czar Carol Browner is a socialist pig. It was recently learned that she is a commissioner in Socialist International.

Socialist International is an anti-capitalistic political cause. They favor the nationalization of industry, are skeptical of the benefits of economic growth and want to establish a more "equitable international economic order." Of course, this is exactly the same anti-American agenda that Obama and his left wing radicals are committed to. They long to tear down the United States until it is equal with the small third world countries. This is stupid, and infuriating, for sure.

Browner, head of EPA during the Clinton years, is a strong proponent of utility decoupling. This allows utilities to produce less electricity (thus less emissions) and still make the same profit. The extra funding is from the tax payer and through higher electricity rates.

This is the kind of crap Obama will continuously try pull on Americans. We have to catch him at every turn and nail his little black butt to the wall!

Historic Obama Plate

Break the piggy bank, sell the car (or kids) - whatever it takes?

Collect a piece of history, buy the stupid plate!

Simple Instructions:

1. Buy the plate, rejoicing that this is $10 of your money Obama won't get.
2. Paint the entire center of the plate black - it is the color of hope and audacity.
3. Put the plate somewhere it will receive all the honor due it.

So order the victory plate and get started!

Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean

Many conservatives were hoping that President Bush would commute the prison sentences of the two former U.S. Border Patrol agents before he left office. It would have been wrong of him not do it.

Without going into all the details, I do not dispute that there was some wrong doing on the part of the agents. On the other hand, for the government and President Bush to implement screwed up liberal justice policy was far worse. They bent over backwards to protect the criminal, while making it clear that the two border patrol agents had no rights. This is not unique - it is happening to law enforcement and military personnel all the time. It will only get worse until someone squashes the liberal agenda.

I am happy for these two men who will be able to return to their families in about two months. It has been a very long and hard road. Too bad President Bush didn't have the courage to act sooner than this.

Today is MLK day - the instigator of riots and destruction? Am I marching? You bet I'm marching - away from my TV so I don't have to listen to it.

Tomorrow is Obamathon Innaugaration day. You have my permission to blow it off. It's just $150,000,000 million tax dollars being flushed. Anything you do tomorrow that ignores the black hoopla and puts Obama down will be the better thing.

Culture of Corruption

Following the Mark Foley (Rep - Florida) sex scandal with text messages, the democrats screamed relentlessly about the Republican 'culture of corruption' and that was a big help to them in 2006.

Now we learn that democrat and loser, Tim Mahoney of Florida, who happened to take Mark Foley's place has been ignoring his wife and pleasing his mistress for some time. Mahoney agreed to a buy her silence with $121,000 and two years of employment. Meanwhile, major loser Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-IL), has been working with Mahoney to keep this hushed - for campaign reasons.

As usual, and it happens all the time, the two-faced democrats are the real party of corruption.

Vote against the filthy democrats every chance you get.

Victory In Iraq is Not a Mistake

The U.S. military was sent to Iraq by both parties of Congress following 9/11. After our troops were digging in and paying the price in a difficult war, the democrats wanted to quit and come home. With no thought of what such a surrender would mean to our troops, Iraq and Al-Queada, the democrats acted as enemies of the U.S. military and continued to threaten to cut off their support. Meet the democrats. They care only about the political agenda of the liberal left.

Speaking of the liberal left, Obama is one of these anti-Americans, and now he thinks he can be Chief of these same armed forces. Iraq war veteran Joe Cook has been to Iraq and fought in the war. He has a message of insight and wisdom for Obama to hear. You can see it too at this link to the youtube video.

9/11 and the 2008 Election

As you this day remember the tragedy inflicted on the USA by terrorists, Obama also wants you to remember his friend and spiritual mentor of 20 years, Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Only Rev. Wright, with full support from Obama, had the courage to instruct America that we deserved the attack on 9/11. It was just "our chickens coming home to roost. God Damn America!"

Maybe Barack Hussein Obama will come up with a chicken analogy before the day is over.

If you vote for Obama, you might as well vote for Osama. Pretty much the same thing!

Democrats Resort to Bible

These are crazy days in the Obama camp. Lots of screws coming loose and the dems are beginning to sense their demise. This is making them nuts and they are acting like it. Following the lipstick and pig slams against McCain/Palin, the democrats have renewed their effort to remove the separation of church and state. If political rhetoric from the left requires religion on the floor of Congress, then so be it.

The dems have come up with a new analogy that is supposed to help Obama Hussein and hurt Sara Palin. It goes like this: Jesus Christ was a community organizer; Pontious Pilate was a governor.

So we compare Obama to Jesus Christ and we compare Pontious Pilate to Sara Palin. The intent is to smear Palin with this analogy since Pilate is only remembered for one thing: allowing Jesus Christ to be sent to the cross.

This analogy probably needed a little more thought. For the next logical piece of the analogy is just beautiful. Who is it that has been gladly and proudly portrayed as the Saviour and Messiah throughout this campaign? Obama. It is then reasonable to expect that Palin is going to crucify Obama. Sweet, so sweet.

Typical White Person?

Obama Hussein once referred to his grandmother as a typical white person. Today, when I saw her picture, I was utterly shocked! After some deep thought, I decided this must be the other grandma. How fortunate for Obama. Not only does he have one black parent and one white parent, but he also has the matched set of grandmas.

This grandma must be on his father's side. She lives in Kenya and made the news because someone broke into her house, apparently hoping to steal her solar panel.

So how is your day going? Is it going well? Is it going to get worse? If we assume that it will get worse, then the only question is when? How about NOW!

Hey, don't forget to go to temple worship tonight. Messiah Obama is expecting you to be there, face to the ground. Since a crowd of 24,000 wasn't adequate for his audacity, he moved the whole worship service to the football stadium. Now 75,000 screwed-up people can bow down to his liberal left positions and be chosen to propagate his lies. (Have no fear if he forgets his halo, they have an extra one.)

Who Are These Women?

There have been a lot of old democrats showing up at the convention this week, but so far I have not seen Geraldine Ferraro. Maybe she has been there and I am just not aware. You might remember Geraldine Ferraro is an avid Hillary supporter and worker who was pushed to resign because of a supposed racial remark she made.

Today I came across an op/ed piece by Geraldine Ferraro in nydailynews.com entitled "What Hillary Clinton's women want".

She is talking about three groups of women and there was a comment about one of the groups that just struck me in the face. Speaking of women who wanted Hillary, but will now join the party line and choose Obama Hussein over McCain. Here is the quote:

"They also would never think of voting for McCain, primarily because of two vital, closely related issues of their concern: the Supreme Court and abortion."

Yes that's what it says. When push comes to shove, these women care most about guarding their right to kill their babies! Women become mothers, and then mothers kill their babies! Who are these sick women? This is a sick society! Obama is their man, that's for sure.

Best Manager of the Economy

Why do you think that 49% of Americans think John McCain will be the better manager of the economy, as opposed to 40% for Obama?

One significant reason is that Obama and his democrats have no interest in lowering gas prices. Speaker of the House Pelosi is so opposed to drilling she is obstructing House procedure and will not even allow the issue of drilling to see a vote. Think Audacity of Pelosi - obviously having her way is more important than the will of the entire legislative body. This is just one example of how democrats totally abuse the governmental system they are supposed to be serving.

In addition to supporting higher gas prices, Obama also has shown that he does not have the intelligence to discuss economic issue. He just repeats sound bytes and message points - like a tape player.

Obama is losing ground fast!

Americans are celebrating the latest Reuters/Zogby poll released on Wednesday. McCain now has a nine point lead over Obama (49 percent to 40 percent). What a change from Obama's earlier lead of 7 percentage points!

There are many factors as to why this change has occurred, but the bottom line is it's not that big of surprise. Americans are starting to get more serious about the upcoming election and are seeing more clearly what an 'empty suit' Obama Hussein is.

Obama has continued to stammer and stutter his way towards wrong solutions on almost every issue. He has continued to show his anti-American stripes and they do run deep. One of the more recent examples was his connecting with Vladimir Putin to blame the U.S. for the Gerogia incident.

There is a silver lining for the democrats, though, so be encouraged. Obama Hussein will be the first black man to lose the general election for President of the United States, so the historical significance is not lost.

Obama going down!

My friend, Jellen, is having fun with her digital camera (a Fuji FinePix S700). In the past she has demonstrated over and over that she is a creative writer. With the Fuji camera in her hand, she has found another tool to express her creativity. One of the capabilities of the Fuji FinePix camera is the macro feature which made possible the dandelion puff shot.

Is Paris HIlton A Recluse?

So says Obama Hussein, the magnificent.

Recently Obama became fairly undone with McCain's ad comparing Obama to two popular young ladies - Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. The ad drives home the point that Obama's glory is that he thinks he is a rock star and equates the size of a rock concert in Germany to his greatness here in the U.S. The most recent polls confirm that he is dreaming.

In the Washington Post dated 2/24/05, Obama Hussein himself had made this comparison. How right on could McCain be with his ad!

Quoting from the Washington Post:

There's nothing exotic or complicated about how phenoms are made in Washington, and, more to the point, how they are broken.

"Andy Warhol said we all get our 15 minutes of fame," says Barack Obama. "I've already had an hour and a half. I mean, I'm so overexposed, I'm making Paris Hilton look like a recluse."

No one has worked harder for media attention than Paris and Britney, but they will never even come close to what the liberal media have given to Obama in this campaign. The press has a thing for losers, I guess.

Two Peas In A Pod, Almost

A recent AP article was talking about Virginia Governor Kaine being a strong contender for Obama Hussein's vice president. This quote about Kaine is so revealing:

"But Kaine has no foreign policy background, and as a first-term governor, he may add to voters' concerns about Obama's experience. Kaine remains popular in Virginia, but he has had trouble dealing with Republicans and has no single defining achievement to point to on the campaign trail."

What a perfect match! Two peas in a pod. Salt and Pepper!

This describes Obama exactly:
- no foreign policy background
- first time Senator
- voters are concerned about no (absolutely none) experience
- trouble dealing with Republicans (actually anyone who disagrees with him)
- has no defining achievement to point to

Obama's Phantom Wall

A brief synopsis of a discussion on Hardball reveals a strong Republican! Nice Job Heather Wilson!

Chris Matthews - 'HARDBALL' host
Heather Wilson, Republican congresswoman from New Mexico, guest
Robert Wexler, the representative from Congress from down in Boca, guest

Matthews: "Congresswoman Heather Wilson, what do you make of those remarks by Barack Obama today?"

Wilson: "Saying something like there's a wall between the United States and Europe? I mean, we've been allies with Western Germany and Germany as a whole since the end of the second world war. NATO is one of our strongest alliances and so what is he talking about? What's the substance behind that?"

[other discussion between Matthews, Wexler and Wilson]

WILSON: "We have British troops with us in Iraq. There's no question that there were differences on policy. But to say that somehow there is a wall in NATO that's running somewhere down the Atlantic shows Senator Obama's inexperience when it comes to understanding where we are. You see that in a number of other things. I mean, look at his platform. He has these kind of message-tested, poll-tested things like we should -- Barack Obama will make sure that we take, he will negotiate with the Russians to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert? It's a great idea. It was done 20 years ago. He seems to be unaware of American history, and that's inexperience which causes people some real concern about whether he's ready for the Oval Office.

Obama once again shows his desire to degrade America every chance he gets. The democrats have had this long-standing 'hate' campaign against Bush. They have worked hard to spread the lie across the globe. But, it is still a lie. Obama knows pretty much nothing about American history. Better limit your questions to Africa and select Muslim nations.

McCain Opposed to Affirmative Action?

Obama Hussein is accusing McCain of flip-flopping on the issue of affirmative action. In this case, McCain is accused of supporting an Arizona ballot initiative aimed at ending race- and gender- based preference programs. That would be great news! It would be wonderful if we had one candidate that had the brains and courage to end these racist programs. Affirmative action is 100% racism and it has gone on too long. Gather up all the affirmative action programs, then take them out back and burn them.

Those people who have been living off of this racist gravy train are not grateful in the least - rather they are the most racist people in the country.

Obama Hussein is a racist and he supports the race industry. No doubt he will expand the affirmative action programs. He wants to: Keep the victims down!

John Edwards' Other Family

Hard work paid off this week at the National Enquirer. Through careful planning and apparently a little foreknowledge, they were able to catch John Edwards in the act, well almost.



Edwards went sneaking into the Beverly Hilton hotel in L.A. in the dark of the night. He found some stairs down to the basement and caught an elevator to go to the room. He was avoiding the main lobby at all cost. He was meeting his mistress (the more masculine one in the above photo). Down the hall, a friend was in another room watching over the love child.

Somehow Edward's plans had been made known, so when he came sneaking out of the room at 2:40 am, the NE reporters met him at the basement elevator. They said he looked like a deer with headlights. With all his sneaking around, he was shocked at their presence. In order to get away from the press (was his hair messed up?) he hid in the men's room until hotel security came and ushered him out.

Edwards has a mistress and a love child, but so far refuses to admit it. His wife, who is struggling with cancer, must be so impressed. V.P. Candidate?

Dennis

McCain gets it right

McCain's recent comments in an interview with Katie Couric were right on the money. Obama and many democrats never cared about our troops or winning the war against terrorism half as much as they care about their political ambitions. True public servants.

Unbelievable that he could get enough signatures to be in the race.

Unbelievable that he could win any states in the primary.

Unbelievable that any political party would choose him.

Unbelievable that he would win the election in November.

Media Cleanup In China

China is telling its media that they will not tolerate obscene, sexual, superstitious or base advertisements during the Olympic period. Now there is good in this effort, but bear in mind it is only while they have all that attention from the world. In many ways China has made it clear that they are not going to "just be themselves" during the Olympics.

The government issued a statement that included this:

"Advertising companies have a responsibility to society for propaganda and showing the country's image. Order in the Olympic advertising market directly connects to the national image."

My final point is this. China's standard is that the propaganda will be used to promote and improve the country's image. In the U.S., the mainstream media is continually using propaganda to tear down the image of the U.S. - not only in the eyes of U.S. citizens, but all around the world.

Dennis

What is Obama Hiding?

Even with the great support Obama consistently has from the main stream media, he still cannot trust them. Even though the press has been totally in his back pocket, he sees the need to exclude them.

The pictures and stories that Obama is generating in Afghanistan and Iraq are fakes. He keeps the press away, and then stages what he wants the picture to show. What is he afraid of? Why no press conferences in either country? This certainly shows how phony are the three news anchors that went over their with him.

Could it be that in the dark recesses of his mind Obama knows that deception is the key to his success. Does he possibly realize that people who see him for who he is would never vote for him?

This news story intrigued me so much, I actually posted it to two different blogs. Pick one and catch more of the detail.

Getting Naked at the Airport

About a dozen US airports have now installed the whole-body imaging machine as part of the security program. These talented and inquisitive machines use some kind of x-ray to see weapons or explosives that are concealed under several layers of clothes.

That's the good news, an important tool for security. You may not want to know this, but the same device can look at shape and size of anything else that resides beneath your clothing. Somebody is going to get an eyeful!

If you have not been through one of these yet, cheer-up. It will soon be playing at an airport near you.

Obama rips off taxpayers

The media has been all a buzz that Obama raised 52 million dollars of support in June. Yet he is going to have the American taxpayer fund his campaign trip to Europe. Why can he get away with this?

Some will be quick to advise me that a senator (even junior senators that are not doing their job) are allowed to travel at taxpayer expense. But this trip is not about his job. It is merely a publicity stunt to dupe the American people into thinking that his no-nothing could survive on the international front. The mainstream media have already written the last chapter of the trip-journal, so there is no doubt about what you will see on the news.

I thought Obama was going to campaign without U.S. funds. I am a taxpayer and I do not support this trip.

Dennis

We pay for Obama's publicity stunt!

Voinovich Right On!

In a state (Ohio) that suffers from an abundance of democrats, it is nice to hear a Republican voice speak out. Senator George Voinovich used the term 'ridiculous' to refer to Gore's recent energy speech. It is almost behond belief that anyone can take Al Gore seriously. This is not the first time Voinovich has spoken out with common sense on energy and global warming. I guess Voinovich, unlike many in Congress, is starting to get it!

Gore says that the U.S. should end our dependence on carbon based fuels within the next 10 years. What better way to weaken our economy while the rest of the world continues to thrive on petroleum fuel.

Al Gore is in it for the money. His company is banking on the carbon credit nonsense to make a truckload of money, and he'll tear down his country to do it.

If Gore is serious about reducing petroleum dependence, he should first acknowledge that other forms of energy need to be proven successful first. Nuclear energy has been proven, so that is likely where we would need to expand first. Wind and solar are supplemental sources of energy that can help in some applications.

Always vote against the likes of Al Gore - he does not have the best interest of our country at heart.

Dennis

Drill Now!

The lines are drawn in Congress:

The Republicans want to drill in the frozen tundra of Alaska and off east and west coasts of the U.S. They know that just the initiation of this effort will effect the global price of oil in a good way and gasoline prices will go down. This is common sense, this is good sense.

Meanwhile, the democrats are opposed to any such drilling. Pelosi calls it a hoax. democrats think it far better that we pay even more for petroleum. Anything to hurt the country and promote their sick anti-american agenda.

What is amazing is that the liberal party that now wants to be called progressive, is still hung up on environmental wacko ideas of 25 years ago. It is definitely time to remove the democrats from office.

Dennis

Telling niggers how to behave!

Wait a minute, who's telling niggers how to behave? Those words come straight out of the heart of the democrat party from one of their long-standing heros - Jesse Jackson.

Yes, when Jesse was heard saying of Barack Hussein Obama that he wanted to cut his nuts off, he also made this accusation of Obama.

Now, if Jesse Jackson can call black people niggers, I think it is OK for anyone to use the same lingo. No fear, no guilt, no n-word. The black community seems to relish the word nigger.

To avoid any confusion, I must point out that Jesse Jackson did not call Barack Hussein a nigger.

I don't make this stuff up.

Fight The Smears!

Barack Obama has had enough! He's tired of people using the internet to say things he doesn't want them to say. He's concerned about allegations that he is neither a Christian nor a patriotic American. He's not concerned with freedom of speech - after all, he is a liberal.

He is hoping that his online supporters will use the new website www.fightthesmears.com to cover the truth with party line propoganda. After all, November is still a ways off.

This is a great opportunity for those who can see the truth about Obama to speak out loud and often. Don't let him hide behind his teleprompter symbolism.

It has been alleged by some that he is neither a Christian nor a patriotic American. Count me in - I see that he is neither.

Obama's decision to create a platform where these truths can be more broadly published is good for America.

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.

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?

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

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.

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.

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!

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?

About those Democrats

Watching the Democrats in recent weeks has left me with so many issues that we could discuss. Just to list a few of those issues:

The Democrat hatred of the President is irrational and unfounded.

The true Democrat Mandate became evident to America when during the State of the Union Message, President Bush spoke of victory. Democrat response - sit on their hands and be careful not to show agreement.

Those in the Democrat party have put all of their eggs in one basket - the basket of defeat in Iraq. They are fully invested in the defeat of America. This is sick. The fact that they still consider themselves Americans makes me double sick! Phony hypocrites. Should the U.S. Military succeed in Iraq, 2008 is over for the Democrats, and they know it.

Barack Hussein Osama accidentally let it slip that he had been raised as a Muslim, and even went to school with the nasty breed of Muslim that is taught early to kill the infidels. Of course he has denied this - but that means little. Let the facts speak for themselves. The mother from Kansas is an atheist. By the way, this information became public thanks to Hillary Clinton's people.

In true Democrat hypocrite style, Obama Osama is now calling himself a devout Christian. This is merely a political ploy to make people forget that he is a Muslim trained from childhood to hate infidels. These words from him are meaningless, and for that to change, he will have to share much more about the content of his faith.

Peolosi and Ried continue to have ethics violations, even in the midst of reforms.

Hillary does not have the integrity to stand behind her decision to put American troops in Iraq. She is now trying to blame President Bush for her decision.

Pelosi has worked to take away first amendment rights from grassroots people who do not agree with her agenda. Although her scheme was exposed this time, she has promised to try again. You must realize that even in the midst of Pelosi/Ried ethics reform, it is still possible to attach amendments to a bill in committee and have it passed without congressional approval.

The all-important minimum wage proposal went through the House and Senate. Most amazing is that those making $3.60 per hour in American Samoa were exempted from this increase. The Democrats were quite happy with this work of deceit.

The global warming fad continues to gain momentum, but there are certainly reasons to question the validity of most things being said.

Oh, we could go on and on. The core of the Democrat is truly corrupt and distorted. They need to be watched every step of the way.

Kudos to President Bush for his courage in the midst of much opposition. For those spineless Republicans who have bailed out, you do deserve to be ousted from office.

Global Warming Caution

Surging through our country at the beginning of 2007 is a passion to solve the global warming problem. The fact that President Bush has not consented to go along with the Kyoto Protocol, has been the only reason most Democrats have needed to make this a priority issue.

In lieu of activity by the Federal government, there is now a tidal wave of global warming initiatives being started by various state governments, environmental groups and even corporations. Are they on the right path? Will they be able to stop the global warming in time?

The unexpected question is: In their delusion, do they care about global warming, or is it the political posturing, the power, the opportunity for more government control, the marketing and the money that constitute the prize? The news that is harder to find is that their are still plenty of people who do not by into this idea that man is causing global warming.

An ABC TV meteorologist, James Spann, does not believe that global warming is a result of human activity. He notes that "billions of dollars of grant money is flowing into the pockets of those on the man-made global warming bandwagon." If you know anything about our country, you know the money alone would be evidence enough to push global warming.

Consider this quote from Spann, "I have been in operational meteorology since 1978, and I know dozens and dozens of broadcast meteorologists all over the country. ...I do not know of a single TV meteorologist who buys into the man-made global warming hype. I know there are a few out there, but I can't find them."

To me that is an amazing statement. Consider a long time TV meteorologist, in the midst of liberal TV media, not buying the prevailing liberal view on global warming. It causes me to think.

Now that the Global Warming Fever is surging throughout the world, let me direct you to another blog entry on the same topic. I think you will find it interesting.

Barack Obama's Twisted Christianity

Obama-mania is obviously not Bible-fueled. This is so obvious after reviewing a few highlights from the book, 'Barack Obama: Sheep or Goat?'. Barack Obama's brand of Christianity is very liberal and not the type that eminates from a true relationship with Jesus Christ.

Rev. Rob Schenck of the National Clergy Council in Washington has done America the favor of writing this book. Obama's visit to Rick Warren's church was reason enough to question Obama since Warren is primarily an evangelical merchandiser promoting a different twist on Christian thought.

Obama's pastor of the last 20 years has been the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr at Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ. This church is very liberal, focused on welcoming gays and taking progressive positions on many social issues. Apparently Barack Obama has been listening well on Sunday Mornings.

When it comes to God's holy, inspired and inerrant Word, Obama considers himself to be a qualified editor. This quote of Obama found in the book makes that obvious,

"I am not willing to have the state deny American citizens a civil union that confers equivalent rights on such basic matters as hospital visitation or health insurance coverage simply because the people they love are of the same sex - nor am I willing to accept a reading of the Bible that considers an obscure line in Romans to be more defining of Christianity than the Sermon on the Mount."

Barack Obama supports abortion for any reason, by any method, at any stage of pregnancy including during the birth process. His campaign for U.S. Senate championed both Roe. V. Wade and partial-birth abortion.

The Reverend Wright also tends to unapologetically dish out insults. In one interview, Wright called those of us who voted for Geroge Bush "stupid."

Quoting now from author Rob Schenck, "Barack Obama is not an Evangelical Christian. Each of us must decide how much weight to give ths fact as he continues to make the rounds in our churches, but we must keep it at the forefront of our minds..."

Hope this information helps you.

My First Video Blog

It has been a pleasant surprise that I have been able to create my first video blog. Actually, I should say video blog entry, since there is only one.

Here is how I did it.

My digital camera also has a video feature which is great since I do not have a digital video camera.

I made a small video clip of the Christmas Piano in action.
Kodak EasyShare is the software I use to transfer pictures from the camera to the computer. Videos are saved as .mov files and are played by Quicktime.

No doubt because I am using the low-end of video recording equipment, the video was a little darker than I would have liked. Could be I need to strive for better lighting next time. I looked for some shareware that would allow me to brighten it a little (just as we do with pictures all the time) but was not able to find any, yet. So I used it as it is.

Next, I went to www.photobucket.com and uploaded the .mov file. This is a free site and I have an account there. Up to this point I had only used this site for pictures. They handle video files as well. I am hoping they handle audio formats too. Photobucket meets the need to have the picture stored on the web (depends on the blog).

The best part of all for the non-programmer is that the html code for embedding the video in a blog or website is provided underneath the video. So it is as simple as cut and paste. Of course, the blogger editor contains a button to upload an image and would handle it more directly.

Have open the blog entry that you want to add the video to, and paste it into your blog.

For me it worked the first time. What a treat!

And now a treat for you. Click the link below if you want to see my video creation.

Christmas Riddle

What is full of Christmas, music and dancing. At the same time it is cute and fun to watch. Give up? It is my daughter's Christmas Piano. She received this as a gift from a friend of the family this Christmas season. It plays twelve Christmas songs and the dancing snowmen are just fun to watch.

I've posted a video of the piano in action in one of my blogs. Check it out. I apologize that the picture is not brighter. This video is from my digital camera and so far I have not found software that will allow me to brighten it up a little bit.

Thanks for taking a look. Do have a wonderful day.
