Beyond Sad

http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap121022.html

The above is a video of the last journey of the spacecraft Endeavour.

The shuttle was - and still  is - one of the greatest monuments to mankind's desire to learn, to discover, to understand.

Better it had burned up in re-entry than be dragged through the streets of Los Angeles and be jammed into a hastily-tacked together tin box. where it will gather dust and be noted only occasionally by historians.

If I had tears, I would cry.

But I do understand now why Howard Hughes wanted to save his greatest accomplishment  for future generations.

Little did he know that future generations would not give a damn about his incredible flying lumber yard.

Unprepared

Hurricane Sandy, when rated on a scale of 1(least severe) to 10(most severe) rates about a 2 or 3.

There were very few deaths or injuries due to this hurricane. True, property damage will be high, but that's expected when people build fancy homes on barrier islands and beaches.

New York City, where the Mayor spends his time obsessing about 16oz. soda cups, was exposed as dangerously unprepared for a major disaster, which Sandy was not. During this relatively low level emergency backup generators failed, subway tunnels flooded, highway tunnels flooded, underpasses flooded, utility tunnels flooded.

That last one - utility tunnels - when they flooded, the water knocked out the power to everybody and every business. Hospitals switched to backup generators, only to discover they did not work.

Even with all the heavily promoted planning and preparation, alerting all the emergency services, calling out the National Guard, positioning critical equipment in key locations... none of it prevented the evacuation of hospitals, the loss of  electrical power, the overflowing of sewer systems, the contamination of drinking water, the flooding of transportation routes, or the burning of hundreds of homes to the ground.

This over-hyped storm has done one good thing, and that is to show us all how truly unprepared our cities really are. The government as our protector is myth.  All the politicians can do  - and will do - is talk. That is our true state of affairs.

When politicians are in charge of our cities maintenance requirements and emergency services instead of qualified engineers, this kind of mess is the result.

So,  if you want to be prepared during a crisis make sure you have your own stockpile of food, clothing, weapons and an electric generator. Be prepared to be on your own in emergencies, because the government will be on the scene much too late, if at all.

If a storm like Andrew ever hits the northeast, it will make Sandy look like a gentle breeze on a quiet day in the park. And those New York politicians will find out what a true disaster really is.

New York is fortunate that most of its workers live outside the city. It may not start looking like New Orleans did after Katrina.

Maybe.

This could happen to your cell phone

Boeing has successfully tested a new missile that can take out electronic targets with little collateral damage.

http://stlouis.cbslocal.com/2012/10/25/boeing-successfully-tests-microwave-missile-that-takes-out-electronic-targets/

The aerospace company tested the microwave missile last week on a building on the Utah Test and Training Range where computers and electronic systems were turned on to gauge the effects of the missile’s radio waves.

The missile, known as CHAMP (Counter-electronics High-powered Advanced Missile Project), fired a burst of High Powered Microwaves at the building, successfully knocking out the electronic systems and computers, and even taking out the television cameras recording the test.

You know those metal wallets being sold that will protect your credit cards from being scanned?

Better get one for your cell phone also.

What they are not talking about is what those microwaves will do to your eyeballs and other sensitive stuff you care about. Microwaves, besides burning out electrical and electronic equipment, are very good a cooking flesh, including yours.

Cooking people to death is not considered as collateral damage?

Oh... I forget... collateral damge is something done only to buildings and property. People are not counted.

$5,000,000.00 For Barry's Passport Data

Offering 5 million dollars for Obama's college and passport records.

(Reuters) - Donald Trump offered to pay $5 million to the charity of President Barack Obama's choice if Obama releases his college and passport records, the real estate mogul and television personality said on Wednesday.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/10/24/us-usa-campaign-trump-idUSBRE89N17W20121024

He needs to put the actual money into escrow so Obama can't weasel off the hook by claiming Trump really doesn't have the cash.

If Obama has nothing to hide, then Trump is 5  million poorer.But if Obama is hiding something worth 5 million to him to keep hidden, we need to find out what it is... fast.

Mirror, Mirror

A recent post on a blog I follow: 

 

Dear Goddess, please take honey boo boo off the air, put her

on a diet, and send her family back to school... This time?

 make them actually show up for class.

 

 

The woman who posted this proudly calls herself a Pagan and a left wing Democrat. She is base and foul-mouthed, uses four-letter words continuously in her blog and relishes in the practice.  She rejects contemporary religion and embraces the concept of a Pagan Goddess somewhere that she casually prays to.

Ok... fine by me. It's a free country. People can think and do whatever they want within the law.

But... having a self-proclaimed Pagan left wing Democrat  ask "What The Hell Happened?" is mind-boggling.

These are the very people who have promoted sex from kindergarten upwards, promoted the LGBT lifestyles, advocated abortion anytime and anywhere, sneered at traditional marriage, endlessly attacked stay-at-home Moms,  infiltrated our school system  to the point they no longer teach fundamental things like  respect for your  parents and other adults. They have eliminated the Ten Commandments from everywhere, no longer allow the Pledge of Allegiance, and doggedly promote any religion other than Christianity.

They believe that white men are the root of all evil, blaming them for every ill the planet has ever suffered, and  have conducted a scorched-earth policy against them for decades.They ridicule and scorn successful males and responsible fathers.

And yet... they consider themselves to be the most intelligent people on earth.

To have one of these people ask "What the hell happened?" is the ultimate in  irony.

Children like Honey-Boo -Boo and her parents are the dismally predictable results of the policies and goals the Socialists, the Progressives, the left wing Democrats, the LGBT crowd,  the pagans and the cultists have been pushing these last few decades.

It's quite a cesspool they have created. Let's hope they enjoy the stench. And if they don't, let's not let them complain. Call them out each and every time they do.

And The Voter Fraud Begins...

Or should I say continues?

Yup... Hope AND change...

The fix is in on some voting machines:

On Monday, several voters  in Guilford County, N. C., complained that their electronic ballot machine cast the wrong vote. All the complaints were made by people who voted at the Bur-Mil Park polling location.

http://myfox8.com/2012/10/23/guilford-county-voters-say-they-voted-for-the-wrong-candidate/

One of the voters says she cast her ballot for Governor Mitt Romney, but every time she entered her vote the machine defaulted to President Obama.

Guilford County Board of Elections Director George Gilbert says the problem arises every election. It can be resolved after the machine is re-calibrated by poll workers.

“It’s not a conspiracy it’s just a machine that needs to be corrected,” Gilbert said.

I'll bet several worthless federal reserve notes that if this uncorrected machine had not been discovered by a sharp-eyed voter, Guilford County Board of Elections Director George Gilbert would not have "corrected" it, or any of the other un-recalibrated machines under his control.

If this problem has been arising every election, they sure better find out what - or who - is causing this, because blaming a "default to Obama" vote on the lack of re-calibration is pure unadulterated bulls**t.

It's not a conspiracy, its voter fraud, and somebody -  or a few someones in Guilford County -  needs to go to jail.

Now This Is Wild!

   

Mammatus Clouds Over Saskatchewan
Image Credit:   Craig Lindsay
From Astronomy picture of the day:

Explanation: Normal cloud bottoms are flat.  This is because moist warm air that rises and cools will condense into water droplets at a specific temperature, which usually corresponds to a very specific height. As water droplets grow, an opaque cloud forms. Under some conditions, however, cloud pockets can develop that contain large droplets of water or ice that fall into clear air as they evaporate. Such pockets may occur in turbulent air near a thunderstorm. Resulting mammatus clouds can appear especially dramatic if sunlit from the side.

Wowzers.

If I looked up and saw this, I would probably mess my britches, since I really don't believe ET will be at all friendly.

Green Dreams Going Up In Black Smoke

 

 

Smoke pours out of a wind turbine at the Ewington Wind Farm

near Heron Lake north of Interstate 90 in Minnesota.

Fire Departments responded, but there was nothing they could do.

So they let it burn.

And so there goes another few million dollars of taxpayer money.

We have plenty of challenges with wind and solar here in the United States, but so do other Nations that have bought into this supposed solution to our energy problems.

There was recent excitement about the record amount of wind power being produced in the UK, but it’s time to return to reality.

After England poured vast sums  into wind via subsidy, rising electricity bills and excessive feed-in tariffs, the return for all that on a cool day with greater power needs was minuscule.  They could increase wind capacity by a factor of 10 at huge cost and still see next to nothing from wind generated power as a helpful contributor to the energy supply on cold and blustery days – of which there will be many as demand increases due to the coming colder and darker days and nights.

English Coal-fired plants are currently stepping up to keep business and residential lights and heating going. But what will happen when coal is phased out? Get the candles and Calor gas ready as rota disconnections take center stage.

https://autonomousmind.wordpress.com/2012/10/19/wind-power-reality-bites-again/

Look at the below chart, it tells the tale:

England's electrical power sources

 

Wind power supplied a dismal .7%. Even hydro, a source of which England has next to nothing. did better.

And yet, the entrenched bureaucrats of England are phasing out coal almost as fast as that rank amateur in the White House and his cohort, the mad woman Lisa Jackson at our own EPA are.

What is the matter with these people? What are their real goals? Surely, they all must realize (they just can't be that stupid not to) that shutting down hundreds of thousands of Megawatts generated by coal plants will result in massive blackouts and brownouts nationwide, many of them permanent. If they managed to grasp 4th grade arithmetic, they fully understand that wind and solar will never be able to replace the energy lost from the plants already closed, much less from the many more plants they intend to shut down.

Those in the industry(if they are honest) will tell you that there is not enough raw material on the entire planet to build enough silicon solar cells to power even one industrial State. And so far, even with all the money that has been poured into research and development, no one has come up with a replacement for silicon that is cheaper than silicons incredibly high cost per watt.

Even with all of the problems facing solar and wind, no one is even mentioning how many hundres of millions of rechargeable batteries and millions of DC- to- AC inverters it would take to store the energy for nighttime use. Maybe these people intend for us to go to bed at dark and rise up at sunrise.

The only thing I can conclude is that people like Lisa Jackson and her fellow greens in our governments - State and Federal - fully intend to bring this nation to its knees.  For what purpose I cannot imagine, but it seems that that is their intent, and they are doing it.

Wind and solar have their place and purpose, but it is not to power an entire nation.

  

Just Wondering...

Back on March 13th of 2009, I posted a piece on the space shuttle and its planned replacement.

Space Shuttle Replacement

Since then, the article has had  2,440 visitors, but not one single comment.

Out of 2,440 readers, you would think that somebody would have said something...

Do You ReallyThink They Earn It?

 

A few of our privileged elites that are living the really good life,

thanks to the money you dole out for your medical  needs

Notice that they are not all old white men. One is an oppressed and disadvantaged black victim of the evil white man - making only $36,438 dollars every eight working hours - compared to the evil white dude making a massive $73,424 every eight working hours.

How much more unjust can this nation  possibly be? Imagine the injustice of another victimized black man being unable to make more than $13.3 million a year.

Actually, when you are raking in more than a dollar a second, it all becomes a bunch of numbers.

Evil white dude William C could pay for my house in a day and a half,  but oppressed black victim Kenneth C. would take three days to pay it off.

As for me? It will take me 34 years to pay off my house.

I don't begrudge a man making a fortune in his lifetime if he actually worked for it, but these guys just sit in fancy offices and get subordinates to make decisions for them.  I do not believe any of these con men in five-thousand-dollar suits have actually earned a hundredth of what they are paid.

They are not the nation builders who preceded them. Not even close. They are not great leaders that will help to uplift us all. They are just few of today's parasitic leeches whose avarice and greed is helping to lead us all into ruin.

But..  they got theirs.  You? You can go to hell.

But pay your medical insurance premium before you do.

Obama's 3AM Call

 

 

 

Remember all the 3AM call blather we were subjected to during the last presidential election?

Well, maybe we should consider the issue this election.

Thanks to "The Old Jarhead" for this.

Ten People

Sandra Fluke, one of Barry's world-class campaigners,

draws in ten Sak "N Save bystanders

Sandra Fluke, another ho-hum modern day soon-to-be land whale feminist, the one that went to a specific college so she could make an issue out of demanding that the tax payers provide nine-dollar-a-month birth control free to her for her most likely imaginary sex life, is now discovering the end of the road:

Sandra Fluke, the woman at the center of a media firestorm earlier this year after Rush Limbaugh called her a “slut,” spoke Saturday in front of about 10 people at the Sak ‘N Save in north Reno.
The speech was part of a daylong effort by Democrats to get Northern Nevadans to the polls on the first day of early voting.
“I’m trying to do everything I can for an election that I feel is very important. I have a unique opportunity for how I get to do that,” said Fluke, who is coming off recent campaign trips to Colorado, Iowa, New Hampshire and Florida as a surrogate for Democratic President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign.

http://www.rgj.com/article/20121020/NEWS19/310200053/Fluke-takes-center-stage-Reno

She shows up in the parking lot of a Sak 'N Save.

Lordy, the jokes I could generate from that.

But I won't, since others surely already have.

Somebody needs to tell this pliant little Progressive pawn  that her fifteen minutes are up.

Hypocrite

 

The dictionary definition of hypocritical is the ‘pretense of having virtues, beliefs, principles, etc. Many politicians are well described by this adjective; but in 2012, none deserves it more than Spokane Vally candidate Amy Biviano.

 

 

Candidate Amy Biviano, self-proclaimed dedicated wife and mother 

 

 

According to the Western Center For Journalism, candidate Amy Biviano has been running for the state House of Representatives as a devoted wife and mother of two sons.

Her description of herself:

I am a long-time Spokane Valley resident, a mother, and small business owner… I grew up in a small, close-knit town in Oklahoma, the daughter of a farmer and a public school teacher. I met my husband Andrew in 1993, on our first day of freshman year at Yale University, and we married two months after graduation. We moved to Andrew’s hometown of Spokane Valley in 2001, deciding that it is the ideal place to raise our family. We have now been married almost 15 years and have two incredible sons: Alex, age 13, and Aidan, age 11…I am an active member of Bethany Presbyterian Church, where I teach Sunday school and serve on the finance committee.”
 

However, this candidate was an unusual background:

Candidate Amy Biviano, while at Yale, self-proclaimed feminist

Her description  then:

She tells Playboy in the interview that accompanies the photo spread that she is a feminist, saying, “I wanted to pose for Playboy to show that we’re not asexual man-haters.” She also told Playboy that her future plans as an Anthropologist included a desire to study sex in other cultures around the globe.
 

I could give a damn if this women posed for Playboy, Hustler, or Space and Aviation Weekly. I don't give a damn if she goes off to Lower Slobivia and "anthropologically" studies the sex lives of aborigines forever.

But when she runs for public office, voters have a right to know not only what she claims to be, but for what she was.

Why? Because our past molds our present, and determines our actions in the future.

Could she have turned over a new leaf?

She's not only a modern-day Democrat, she's a Yale graduate. What are the odds?

Accident, Or Plot?

No government contraceptives needed, thanks to Gardasil

Gardasil is a new vaccine being used on young girls to prevent - it is claimed - a few of the many causes of cervical cancer.

The BMJ has published the case report of a healthy 16-year-old Australian girl whose womanhood appears to have been stolen by Gardasil vaccinations. She has been thrust into full-fledged menopause, her ovaries irrevocably shut down, before becoming a woman.

http://gaia-health.com/gaia-blog/2012-10-17/gardasil-destroys-girls-ovaries-research-on-ovaries-never-considered/

This is serious stuff, particularly to us Texans, because Texas governor Rick Perry bypassed the State Legislature and ordered all teenage girls to be given this vaccine.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16948093/ns/health-childrens_health/t/texas-governor-orders-std-vaccine-all-girls/

It is now obvious that this vaccine has not been studied sufficiently to allow it to be used on our teenage girls and that Governor Perry should be called to task for his illegal actions that followed a concentrated push by the drugs manufacturer.

So. This was not an accident, at least in Texas. Gardasils' use in Texas is a result of Governor Rick Perry's actions after some really outrageous arm-twisting - or pocket lining - actions by the manufacturer.

But is it a plot?

One must consider the Liberal/Progressive/Socialist/Communist view on world population. According to them, there is just too many people on planet earth, and  something must be done about it. Since world-wide epidemics(natural like Ebola or manufactured like AIDS) have been shown to not be all that effective at population reduction, perhaps they have decided to vaccine all the superfluous young females with a concoction claimed to fight cancer.. but really sterilizes them all.

I'm usually not the conspiracy type, but this whole issue smells of rats and weasels. And rich, arrogant, unethical, immoral elites, many of who are already rotten to the core.

-1) The drug was tested on men , but not on women.
-2) It is issued to teenage girls only. So why was it tested on males only?
-3) Early results show a 100% effectiveness in bringing on total menopause.
-4) It was illegally ordered into use by a Governor who has a huge population problem with quickly growing minority populations.

Sooner or later, humanity has to face this population explosion worldwide. Regardless of your ethical, moral or religious views on the subject, it is a problem we cannot ignore or dodge much longer. So I would not put it past the  elites and privileged of planet earth to be working on a solution to thin out all those hordes of useless bodies that are using up valuable resources and creating huge mountains of waste.

Looking at it from that point of view, it could very well be a plot. And if it is, what should be done?

The Water Planet

Actually not so much water as you may think.

If all the water in all the oceans and lakes everywhere was gathered into a ball, see what size it would be:

Illustration Credit: Jack Cook, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution,

 Howard Perlman USGS

Sort of brings home that fact that Earth actually has a very thin film of water that makes up our lakes and oceans.

One overly robust solar storm could blow it all away into space. Or what happened to Mars could happen to us. Mars Once Somewhat Earthlke

Or a hundred other things, equally as fatal.

It's amazing how tenuous the human existence is here on this planet. Countless natural disasters - minute on the true scale of things -  could eliminate the human race forever in a blink of galactic time.

And yet we keep trying to do the job ourselves, as if the universe isn't going to accomplish the task some fine - but final - day.
.

The "Fog Of War"?

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took responsibility Monday night for any security failures leading up to the consulate attack last month in Libya that killed the American ambassador, but she seemed to push back against claims of a cover-up, blaming the "fog of war" for the Obama administration's shifting explanations for the attack.

 http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/10/15/clinton-takes-responsibility-for-consulate-security-blames-confusion-on-fog-war/#ixzz29TWMWrDY

Now that's priceless.

In my book, judging from the kind of  hopped-up clowns infesting the White House, it should be blamed on the "fog of drugs".

A Reincarnated Chariot Driver?

Congressman Jesse Jacksn Jr., mad about something.

Maybe he remembers losing his chariot races.

Jesse Jackson Jr. seems to have a few problems with reality:

........[Jackson] was erecting the foundations of a power base, diving into countless local races by endorsing candidates, seeding the region with mayors and other local officials who would be loyal supporters. But he could be mercurial, former associates say. Jackson sometimes boasted that he was a reincarnated Greek chariot driver, [political operative Frank] Coconate said. “I really thought he had a problem with reality,” Coconate said.
 

http://washingtonexaminer.com/wapo-dept.-of-burying-the-lede-jesse-jackson-jr.-thought-he-was-reincarnated-chariot-driver/article/2510857#.UH1lxMXA-4c

Jackson is under federal investigation for allegations that he misused campaign money to decorate his house:

http://www.usatoday.com/story/onpolitics/2012/10/15/jesse-jackson-jr-criminal-probe-campaign-money-fbi/1634085/

How dismally typical.

Most of those who believe they were around sometime in the past usually claim they were an Egyptian Pharaoh at the very least, or maybe one of Rome's Caesar's... not some lowly rank-and-file chariot driver. That's a lot like claiming you're a reincarnated Manhattan taxi driver. - LOL -

Apparently the man's inner self-image could stand some improvement. He's shooting pretty low for a guy with an ego the size of his.

Keep in mind this guy is one of our Congressmen, endlessly making rules and laws that affect us all.

That's a bit scary.

833MPH, Straight Down

 

 

Jump into nothing from 128,100 feet. Now that takes guts! 

Felix Baumgartner jumped from the opened hatch of his capsule suspended 128,100 feet above Earth. Twenty four miles below him, millions of people were right there with him, watching on the Internet and crossing their fingers.

I was one of the more than 8 million people who watched this event live on the Internet.  Watching it live made me feel is if I was almost a part of the adventure and brought back many of the feelings of excitement and pride I used to feel during my Apollo days.

This jump, taking almost five years of planing and practice, broke many standing records for what can only be the ultimate in high-altitude sky diving.

The only hitch they encountered was that his visor fogged up a bit. Not bad - not bad at all - for a major effort by private enterprise.

I noted that  the Red Bull energy drink folks did a lot of sponsoring during the jump. Kudos for them. I'll buy a couple cans... even if I never need them.

Havng trouble finding answers to a lot of questions?

Inscription on Obana's ring:
"There is no god except Allah"

 

There. That should answer quite a few of them.

NEW YORK – As a student at Harvard Law School, then-bachelor Barack Obama’s practice of wearing a gold band on his wedding-ring finger puzzled his colleagues.
Now, newly published photographs of Obama from the 1980s show that the ring Obama wore on his wedding-ring finger as an unmarried student is the same ring Michelle Robinson put on his finger at the couple’s wedding ceremony in 1992.
Moreover, according to Arabic-language and Islamic experts, the ring Obama has been wearing for more than 30 years is adorned with the first part of the Islamic declaration of faith, the Shahada: “There is no god except Allah.”

Califirnia Is Collapsing

California's stratospheric cost of gas is forcing  gas station closures because more and more of California's drivers will not and can not pay those prices. No customers, no business. No business? Shut down.

http://www.contracostatimes.com/ci_21698765/gas-shortage-shutters-costco-stations-simi-northridge-and?source=most_viewed

A refinery closure, a contaminated pipeline and the state's strict pollution limits are all, in part, to blame, experts said.

Really? And whose fault is that? Who is taking responsibility?

Find out why the refinery was closed. Discover who decided the pipeline was "contaminated" and shut it down. Research who is behind the prevention of the construction of new refineries and power plants.

California's screwball Legislature has to shoulder some of the responsibility. Under the stewardship of extremely far-left liberals like ex-governor Jerry Brown, Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, Maxine Waters and other Socialist icons,   they have placed massive roadblocks in the way of California's vital industries.

However, the gorilla in the room is the  EPA. The EPA  is forcing the closure of refineries and power plants in California and across the entire United States. With the complete approval of  president Barak Obama, EPA director Lisa Jackson is the prime mover behind all this and is directly responsible for our looming national disaster of massive fuel and power shortages.

Insane new regulations issued by the EPA and this administration  have completely stopped the upgrading of older refineries and power plants and the construction of new ones by simply making it to too expensive to comply with their Draconian regulations.

This disastrous shut-em-down roadblock strategy of Obama's and  the EPA's resident mad woman is - and has been - in full swing for some time now. The results of their Pollyannish meddling is just now starting to be felt.

Bottom line: No fuel, no electricity - no civilization. Perhaps Jackson and Obama think that living in mud shacks and grass huts will be good for all of us.

There is - of course - another major reason why California's gas stations are starting to close:

California has actively supported the influx of  millions of illegal aliens to be used as low-paid  workers to toil away for sub-standard wages,  and is now a state loaded with ignorant, uneducated and non-English-speaking illegals that work for wages way below any sort of living wage.

And surprise!

The once prosperous and affluent California is now discovering that a  dirt cheap workforce consisting of millions of ignorant and illegal workers that really can't afford to live there don't pay enough taxes to support a secondhand store, much less an entire State. And since they have driven out their once prosperous, tax-paying and socially contributing members of their communities, California has lost it's huge tax-paying base of citizens.

Those illegals survive by stuffing 20-30 people to a house, sharing utility bills and a community cooking pot. They move into a neighborhood, drive property prices into the dirt, and then create Mexico-style Barrios where a  once prosperous community thrived. These illegals depend solely on the local emergency room for medical aid which they demand but do not pay for. Their vehicles are almost always not safety inspected or insured. They generally have no drivers license, are a menace on our highways since they can't speak or read English and have no idea what all those highway signs say, and - as a rule - carry a false or stolen Social Security number.

They do not pay taxes other than those automatically added to purchases. They do not support the community they are leeching off. They have offered nothing but cheap labor to the state - and a new generation of white-hating anti-American troublemakers, another unforeseen consequence of an imported, untrained, ignorant and uneducated workforce.

And now California's elites are witnessing the consequences of their avarice and greed, of creating and allowing a sub-standard society comparable to the slave days of the old south to rise in their state and destroy the prosperity of the past.

And guess what else? These same California elites are moving out in droves, taking their money and their attitudes to other States - to infect them with their sickness.

A one-two punch for California. Thanks to the short-sighted stupidity of California's  greedy businessmen and  bought-out lawmakers, we are watching as a once great State destroys itself, with the willing aid from the likes of Obama and Jackson.

Who's next?

Simple. Find out where all those uppercrust and privileged Californians are fleeing to. They will carry their sickness with them.

Worth Re-Posting

Since the Middle East is starting to hit the headlines again, I'm re-posting the below map just to remind us all that in 1948 the United Nations passed UN Resolution 181 destroying one State and creating another, an action that has resulted in numerous wars, cost  hundreds of thousands of lives and billions and billions of dollars. There were 33 votes in favor of creating the new Israeli State in the then existent Palestine, 13 votes against,  with 10 abstentions and 1 absent.

 

Imagine that. 33 UN representatives voted  this 64 years of misery into existence. Those 33 are all dead and gone - and will never have to face the consequences of their actions.

They left that up to us.

For those of you who believe there never was a Palestine... Full of Palestinian villages and people, look at the map below, printed in 1838:

(left-click to enlarge)

This was - of course - ten years before UN Resolution 181 in which the UN dissolved Palestine and created today's Israel in it's place.

The map is bigger than my scanner , so I had to cut off the bottom of the map. sorry 'bout that.

What I Took Away From The First Debate

There are a very few things I concluded from this first presidential debate, but the most notable to me was that I finally realized that Michelle Obama is not really bow-legged or that she walks funny because of some medical condition.

She's just uncomfortable in high heels. They make her walk and stand oddly.

Not unusual for a female that spent most her formative years traipsing around in tennis shoes or flops.

So why does she elevate herself those three inches? Maybe she secretly enjoys looking down at most everybody.

My suggestion is that she go to someplace like

http://www.ehow.com/how_2211014_walk-properly-gracefully-high-heel.html

and at least learn how to stand properly in high heels if she intends to keep wearing the things.
