The picture to the left is for geography whiz and public school teacher Peggy West.

This is one heck of a field sobriety test, rats! so close and yet so far.

Something else that is sobering is the loss of Turkey as an ally.  Still, if the enemy of my enemy is my friend, friction between that nation and Iran could prove useful.  If the two nations came to blows, Turkey is a NATO member, and we would be duty bound to help.  Darn the luck, we might have to help put a Saddam Hussein type keister-kicking on Ahamanutjob.

The Chinese reaction to such a scenario could prove interesting; however, China is having to deal with domestic unrest over maintaining its slave labor force.  Think about labor conditions there during the next Walmart shopping excursion.

It seems odd that we need to reaffirm that the Fourteenth Amendment applied the Fifth Amendment to the various states.  The Loony Left's Elena Kagan believes that it does so only if it is convenient to the cause of totalitarian mommy staters.  The Second Amendment is alive and well.

What happens if a worse case scenario becomes reality and we learn that the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is the result of a down hole failure deep underground?  Take time to read this article.  It is not just frightening; it is horrifying.

The fallout over the Rolling Stone article on General McChrystal is widening.  Defense Secretary Gates is said to have preferred keeping him, but now it is too late.  The chief of the Pakistani army believes that McChrystal's replacement Petraeus is more of a politician than a military strategist.  After all, McChrystal was the boots on the ground guy for Petraeus in Iraq.  Now, Pakistan seems to be moving unilaterally to solve problems in the region.

In this article, the author draws some comparisons between Abraham Lincoln and Brick-a-Brack O-buma.  While it is true that both sacked a general in time of war, there are other similarities.  Lincoln stole property from the people of the Confederacy; O-buma has stolen the auto, banking, and health care industries.  Lincoln created a totalitarian state by suspending habeas corpus; the One seeks to subvert the rule of law by appointing people to the Supreme Court who believe that the Constitution is only the nation's Supreme Law when it is politically expedient.

However, Lincoln was a terrorist-by-proxy who used General William T. Sherman to wage war on a civilian population comprised mainly of women, children, and elderly people.  Perhaps the O-bomunist's form of terror will be to finalize his totalitarian regime with the thirty plus unelected and non-vetted czars.  Maybe historians will be as kind to the O-bumessiah as they have been to Lincoln.

May your gods be with you.

Do Obumoids Dream of Electric Sheep?

Except when corrupt politicians skew data by limiting research only to convenient information, overemphasizing or deempathizing it, and under or overstating projections and intentions, the Congressional Budget Office historically has been the nation's most reliable predictor of how federal policies will affect the economy.

In his State of the Union address, O-buma claimed that in 2010 jobs would be his main focus.  What he did not tell us was that his plans will mean fewer rather than more jobs.  The O-bumites are pushing what they call "green jobs."  This term is oxymoronic on at least two points.  First, the so-called jobs are mostly bureaucratic positions that are little more than overhead borne by taxpayers.  Second and most important, the CBO advises that these policies will result in a "decline in employment."

Once again, the sheeple claim that less is more.

The green jobs hustle has already failed in Spain, Germany, and Denmark, so why would the Kenyan Genius Messiah pursue a failed experiment?  Because he can and because we allow government to herd us around like pigeons looking for peanuts.

Due to our apathetic lack of resolve and commitment, we have allowed the Party-of-Government Congressional Theftocrats to give themselves a license to steal.  When they enact policies that, oh darn the luck, increase unemployment, they benefit from it by adding to the numbers of people who are dependent on their brand of government.

CBO also projects that because O-buma and his merry band of thieves are squandering America's future we will, in less than ten years, have accumulated debt totaling 90% of our GDP.  Margaret Thatcher was right, we are running out of other people's money.

Hopefully, people are also running out of patience with Communist Charlie Crist.  Now, he is comparing himself with Abraham Lincoln.  Charlie, Charlie, have ye no shame? 

Another group that suffers from his sort of messianic neuroses is the National Education Association.  They have devalued religion and religious ethical precepts--they make a special exception for Islam and its Sharia law--in favor of paganism.  This is part of their No-Standard-is-too-Low strategy of indoctrinating rather than educating children.  Unholywood is leading the charge.

For everyone who has been threatened by rogue or feral animals while exercise walking, hiking, or jogging, it is possible to do so in relative safety.

A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

May your gods be with you.
