I will just let the headlines lead you today...whether its Obama's ever changing stance  on war or his Brazil can drill but we can't... he makes no sense at all.   Dems Abandon Obama on War... 'We're In Libya Because Of Oil'... Use Obama's own words to slam him now... Obama '07: 'President Does Not Have the Power...To Unilaterally Authorize a Military Attack' Libya Attacks Spark Oil Price Surge... Obama: Drill, Brazil, Drill! Allies Expand Libya Military Campaign, Debate Command... Russia calls for immediate ceasefire... Emerging powers join in ... Read More

I might not be a world expert on international affairs. I may not know everything I need to know about the differences in American and Japanese cultures, but there are things I do know. I do know... That, a major earthquake rocked Japan, followed by a dangerous tsunami. People were left homeless, with everything they owned gone. Many are still missing. Top that off with they are cold, hungry, homeless, and scared. Add to that there are some interesting issues with their nuclear power ... Read More

There  are just too many accounts on how our economy is failing out there to keep track of. I decided to provide a place for the top headlines of today: Democrats: “Spending For Dummies” Or: "How to waste someone else's money for profit and pleasure" We’ve seen it splattered all across the front pages; more spending for jobs, more spending for bailouts, more spending for Unemployment, more spending for Teachers and Unions and special interests. We’ve also seen ... Read More

There is just a lot going on in our country of late. The state of the Union? A mess.... JOBS JUNE UNEMPLOYMENT 9.5%... 125,000 JOBS LOST... Rate dips as 652,000 give up job search... Depressing... Pelosi: Unemployment Checks Fastest Way to Create Jobs... Dems reject GOP compromise on unemployment benefits, go on vacation... Schwarzenegger puts 200,000 workers on minimum wage...

Apparently Obama (some 63 days later) has put together a panel to investigate to oil spill in the Gulf of  Mexico. What I have noticed and what people are talking about is how few experts are on the panel, and how many are just like Obama in his energy policies. From Yahoo News The panel appointed by President Barack Obama to investigate the Gulf of Mexico oil spill is short on technical expertise but long on talking publicly about "America's addiction to ... Read More

My first of the week stroll on the net. Some links you should see...

Political group wants a divorce for California: Downsize California Now that is preparing a ballot initiative for a two-state ... Read More

There was a time when Bill Clinton was in the White House, when it seemed he and his friends were trying to get away with so much, that he actually earned the nickname, "Slick Willy". Soon we will have to honor Obama with a similar nickname. Yesterday, I only saw part of Obama speaking to the American Medical Association, wooing them into his health care program. I don't know about you, but most doctors I know of, are very fearful of nationalized ... Read More

Scary words, but to me and others it's a reality to face, such as this article by Paul Driessen. White House and Congress enacted a $700-billion financial bailout, followed by an earmark-laden $787-billion "stimulus" law and plans to ladle out $1.6 billion in federal government bonuses in 2009. Then came a $3.5 trillion "red sea" FY 2010 budget, and the prospect of $9.3 trillion in total indebtedness over the coming decade. A March 31 Bloomberg study found that the Treasury Department, Federal ... Read More

Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev, receiving support from the Canadian economist Prof Mundell and Nobel-prize winner Professor Robert Mundell, is proposing a one world currency, the Acmetal. Mr Nazarbayev's coining of "acmetal'' combines the Greek word "acme,'' meaning peak or best, and "capital.''   Mr Nazarbayev and Prof Mundell urged the Group of 20 leading developed and developing economies to form a working group on the proposal at their summit on the global economic crisis in London on April 2. "We should deliver our thoughts and the thoughts of ... Read More

"A government policy to rob Peter to pay Paul can be assured of the support of Paul." -- George Bernard Shaw If you are not angry enough about the generational robbery in the name of stimulus, throwing billions upon billions into programs and institutions that keep their hand out, how do you feel about the so called stimulus jobs going to illegal immigrants? In USA TODAY: Tens of thousands of jobs created by the economic stimulus law could end up filled by illegal immigrants, ... Read More

While on the campaign trail, more and more people in Obama's past and present seemed dubious at best. Racist preachers and terrorist co-worker to mention two. Now that he is elected, and especially after promising ethics reform, (barring lobbyist from his administration), he would, usher in a new age of responsibility. Curious then, how he found at least three people for cabinet positions that didn't pay their taxes over years, had illegal aliens in their employ, and a lobbyist for a military contractor who is now ... Read More

American teenagers lie, steal and cheat more at "alarming rates," a study of nearly 30,000 high school students concluded Monday. The attitudes and conduct of some 29,760 high school students across the United States "doesn't bode well for the future when these youngsters become the next generation's politicians and parents, cops and corporate executives, and journalists and generals," the non-profit Josephson Institute said. In its 2008 Report Card on the Ethics of American Youth, the Los Angeles-based organization said the teenagers' ... Read More

Not feeling too positive about the headlines, bailouts, new regimes ready to take over, and the like. I do have though, this quote from Joseph Stalin. “Work for more government intervention and control of the business activities of the people. In this way the American people will accept Communism without knowing it.” Oh, here is another one of his that really makes me think... "The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything." ... Read More

I should not have been surprised when seeing people interviewed, Obama supporters, that they had little or no knowledge of newsworthy items, high-ranking officials, or even which party was in control of Congress at this moment. Many interviewed seemed rather confused, an example being they took Saturday Night Live skits like Tina Fey's as something factual, and when confronted with facts, didn't know even remotely what candidate they came from. Something you can blame the mainstream media for, and this ... Read More

Perhaps this is the first lesson that Obama supporters have to learn. Just because you worked and earned, getting paid in full might be but a thing of the past! Obama campaign workers angry over unpaid wages Lines were long and tempers flared Wednesday not to vote but to get paid for canvassing for Barack Obama. Several hundred people are still waiting to get their pay for last-minute campaigning. Police were called to the Obama campaign office on North Meridian Street downtown to control ... Read More

CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, New York Times... You know who they are, and just to name a few. The mainstream media have gone over the line and are now straight out propagandists for the Obama campaign. While they have been liberal and blinkered in their worldview for decades, in 2007-08 for the first time, the major media are consciously covering for one candidate for president and consciously knifing the other. This is no longer journalism — it is simply propaganda. We ... Read More

  According to Fox News, a Florida Pastor has a new challenge for his church members. "Single men and women can't have sex for 30 days, and married couples are urged to have it every day.   "If you look at studies, studies say in 30 days you can develop a habit," said Pastor Paul Wirth.   It definitely caught wives in the church by surprise."   ... Read More

I had to laugh when I heard about a mom who found alcohol (breaking a rule she had established) in her son's car who decided to sell the car with this ad: "OLDS 1999 Intrigue. Totally uncool parents who obviously don't love teenage son, selling his car. Only driven for three weeks before snoopy mom who needs to get a life found booze under front seat. $3,700/offer. Call meanest mom on the planet." Apparently she didn't get a lot of calls to ... Read More

I first heard about the Dixie Chicks some years ago when someone requested them for an ICQ skin, (back in the days of taking requests at MXskinz). I looked them up and realized, "Oh, country music, that is why I don't know that much about them." And I guess I still don't. Except for when they made the news when during a concert they made a negative remark regarding Bush and the Iraq War. It seems they have been doing damage ... Read More

My friend Wendy in a recent mail sent me this interesting article she posted for an online newspaper, The Emmitsburg Dispatch. It seems not only is Maryland diverse in its geography with sea, coastline, bay and its mountains in the west, not only is its diverse in its weather extremes, its also full of history. Prehistoric history! Read: Dispatch story triggers discovery of many dinosaur tracks near Rocky Ridge If you get a chance, see a Maryland commercial! » HERE ... Read More

I don't carry green paint and throw it at people wearing furs, I don't proclaim to be a vegetarian, although my meat consumption is way down, and you sure won't find me holding a sign in a march for animal rights- or I haven't as of yet. However, there is something very disturbing about the following photo... In an article entitled Massive seal cull begins , I got a look at the photo, and I have to admit, I had to look ... Read More

It's either a gift or a curse. I am not sure yet which. While others are combing the headlines for the usual news stories, for some reason, the most absurd headlines grab my attention. (And I will likely share a few on this blog). Today, as I read about the latest mudslides, possible dam burstings and shots of Saturn's Titan, I spot this one, Pentagon reveals rejected chemical weapons It seems some time ago, our Pentagon had considered some rather odd plans ... Read More
