The Iranians and Mahmoud Ahmadinajhad say their nuclear programme is like a train with no reverse or brakes. To complete his metaphor, I would add, No Tracks. Good Luck, World, when these guys build their little bomb. Over the weekend they sent a rocket into space, also. What do you suppose 1+1=?
If we could just get Pakistan fully on board the whole war on Terra could become an island. When the Rats crawl out of their holes in their dirty nightshirts and are cornered, Allah will welcome them with open arms.
If the Archeologists said this was true the reportage would do backflips. Since they claim Jesus and His "Wife's" bones buried in the tomb to be bunk, this Secularistic writer will put it out there like that anyway, because it's the contoversy that sells. Until Jesus comes back, there will always be a concerted effort to disclaim the Resurrection.
Governing by the polls is never really a good thing, unless the Govt. can reverse course, stop on a dime, or move quickly enough before public opinion can change. That's why we elect leaders to lead. Reactionaries need not apply.
So that is what all the tears were for, that debacle of a hearing was a job audition. A new reality show, Make the Judge Cry.
The BrainTrust has always thought one of the best ways for a terroristic attack here in America would be through the Trucking Industry, or on our Highways. Now that Mexico will have an access to our Highways, an inspector job has become frontline defense/first responder type of responsibility. The Border must not be porous enough for some, so let's add another challenge before we get the first order of the day completed.
Al-Reuters is making sure it is known they are not responsible for the content of this article. The pirates must have allowed Reuters access so they can't comment, like CNN in Baghdad before the war.
All those poor individuals who waited for days in line got burned? Or do they have the ultimate collectible electronic piece of junk?
It may be a form of child abuse, but I am not sure taking Him away from his family is helpful. He needs a bicycle. One he can pedal around, that might help too. I feel sorry for kids who start life out with a challenge that is nearly insurmountable. But this kid is young enough to grow out of it, somewhat. It seems like Connor's Mother does what He wants, not what He needs. Maybe when He was a baby crying for more food, there was something else He was crying for. Sometimes the child just does not really know what is best for themselves.
How great it would be to develope an early test to detect this most common and evil form of Cancer.
I don't understand that Terrorism has not at least been suspected here yet, or has it? The copy makes it unclear. Maybe it's another example of hoping it's not terrorism so much you'll try every other possible theory first.
A loss is a loss in sports, it does not matter how or why. All the woulda coulda shoulda di'nt is so cowardly and unbecoming of a world class democracy. If we want to win we can win, if we want to lose, there's a plan for that, too.
Check if those in favor of the fairness doctrine or "Hush Rush" have a stake in satellite radio futures, because if they ever enacted the fairness doctrine Satellite Radio would be the way to go. It is funny, though, because how exactly would a fair radio program be conducted?, and who would decide it was "fair"? Maybe the call screener job would be done by the FCC. And every what?, 2 hours have a new host? One Lefty, one Righty? You might kill radio stations but somehow free speech would get spoken. There would be a migration from AM radio to satellite. And when that got shut down by the ones who cannot debate, HAM radios. They can never win. The conservative side can line up Laura Ingraham, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Medved, Hugh Hewitt, and Bill O'Reilly as our first team. Where do we have time for Sean Hannity, Dennis Prager, Michael Savage, Dr. Laura,Gallagher, Pat Campbell Paul Harvey, Art Bell, Kruk and Kuip etc. etc. And then the lefties have Al Franken, John Stewart, Randy Rhoads, and then all the shadow lefties Bob Schieffer, Brian Williams, Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw, Tim Russert,Anderson Cooper, Larry King, Walter Cronkite, and all His Ilk. After all that then what, our computers?
Freedom Fighter and Communist Leader describing the same individual. Sounds like a contradiction in terms.
France can not deny they, too, are targeted by the Islamo-Fascist, violence worshipping, retro-humanoid, demonically inspired partiers at the gates of Hell.
The Civil War is in Baghdad, not Iraq proper. I do feel I agree somewhat with Sen. Carl Levin, ironically, the goals of just being there to Train the Iraqi Army, counterterrorism, or border security(Our own Border Security?) . are the success oriented results I, too, hope to one day see. However, complete success doesn't happen overnight and how the enemy views our actions is almost as important as the actions are themselves. They will view any type of backtracking as retreat. While we try and move backwards (less troops) it has to have an overt perception ( kicking some @ss) to instill the respect for our power, that power not used is still a threat.

The Convenient Lie
Hollywood and the Motion Picture Industry has spent the last couple hours congratulating themselves on how much they care, they care about the environment and homosexuality a la the oscars won for The Inconvenient truth. They care about Race and Equality, Peace and Freedom, Age and experience, Life and Death, you name the cause and I am sure they care. Only it never seems they care enough to put their money where their mouth is. They care enough about any cause to exploit it to line their pockets. It's just they are so important and their time so valuable, plus they are so smart. If they had their way tonight they would vote in Al Gore to be the next President of the United States, because He is a great leader? No, because he cares so much about the environment He is willing to tie up the world economy as hostage in return for a couple tenths of a degree in temperature fluctuation. That makes a lot of sense to the ultra rich. I am sure they are all set up to weather a severe economic downturn should their plan come to fruition.
The whole show has a pre-determined outcome feel about it to me. Ellen has been o.k. to me and some of those shadow dancing routines were great. Thank goodness Prince was not there. Forrest Whittaker seems like a great guy, maybe a little too New Age. Martin Scorcese was the consensus charity pick. And most people that saw all the movies would never have picked The Departed as the best, give Martin a double. The Queen actress Helen Mirren was regal and elegant amd it was nice to see an older actress win best actress.
It seems like Hollywood is going out of their way to cloak their leftism, which I appreciate because when they come out and go political it ruins everything those actors have ever done for me. Their sanctimonious self rightous posing really wears me out. With the Grammies in the can and the Golden Globes , and now the Academy Awards over we see that speeches are out of vogue with their political leanings displayed onto everyone. Now the Arts and Croissants crowd illustrates its socialism with who wins the award. Or who does not win. I guess if you just want things straight and truthful on T.V. you can't win.

No Attachments No Fear
I think I figured out how the Leftside Quitlings can claim they do not take seriously the possibility of threats posed by "Bush's Bogeymen", Terrorists, threats of terroristic acts, and all that terrorists and evil Nations do.
They must have no vested interests in the future of our country or the World as we know it, in its present manifestation. More than likely 1. no kids they are trying to raise*, 2. no mortgage they are trying to pay, or 3. no business they are trying to create. So if everything fell to pieces they would land in a very similar place. With not much and where to go. I was once a liberal, single, semi-successful worker bee who would have welcomed anarchy and a come-uppance to all establishments. Maybe my openmindedness caused me to look a little deeper into different facets of life.When I looked at work all of a sudden I didn't just see a job, I saw how my bosses put their companies together and kept them together. I saw how hard work created wealth. So I guess I woke up and saw which side my bread was buttered on, and went out and tried to live the American Dream. On the way I became more conservative, a Christian, and more Patriotic. Anybody can rally around their country for a 1 time event, maybe a tragedy, but what really counts is rallying all the time. Not just in America but all peace and freedom loving people in the world. On a personal level, I paid my dues, did my time and eventually became somewhat independant. It is great and scary at the same time, sole responsibility for success or failure. When I look around at the World in general I do not see Brotherhoods of Nations all trying to get along, or help each other up. I see dog eat dog survival of the fittest in its most grotesque and real forms. It's all the same, survival is what is at stake, whether we believe it or not. If all the Good people of the World could unite, what a force for good we could be. What's holding us back?
I would even go so far as to say that We true conservative Americans really have no real fear of Terrorists or their tactics, just complete desire to NEVER allow their warped World Vision to become a reality. Nobody ever thought in the early days of the Third Reich they would be able to cause so much death and destruction, and inevitably they did. Realists now realize that when players on the world stage start rattling their sabres and making idle threats those who are aware first, must stand up and repel that momentum.
As a believer in the Judeo-Christian strain of Abraham and his creed(seed)[screed?] when matching the fervor of fundamentalisms head to head, I know my God is Right. Just like they know their Allah is right. We both have faith. Yet, even should the Christian lose an individual battle against a Muslim, I believe Christ will win the war. Mohammad added to the scriptures, Jesus said, "it is finished". A Muslim must feel the same way, Mohammad was right,they claim, Jesus was just a prophet, too. Yes, Jesus was a prophet, He predicted false Prophets would come and lead many astray. But He was not just a prophet, He is our Intercessor.
This seems to me like when we are entering into the time when Dimensions are colliding along the Physical and the Spiritual Planes. Maybe the Spirit World is that 4th dimension everyone is looking for in all the wrong places. And I am pretty sure the good and evil in the spirit world are well represented in the physical world. We are battling powers that cannot be seen or understood by finite human intelligence or reasoning so we fight blindly and foolishly. Loggerheads. Battering Rams. Tug of War.
I think my only true fear is to work Hard in Vain. Whatever the task. So there is no fear, except the Fear of the Lord, and that is the beginning of Wisdom.

Stepping Down
I think you can tell the great countries of the world by how leadership administrations succeed each other . Nobody wants to let go of power, especially when they are worried the successor could possibly really screw things up even worse. But the great Democracies of the world can supercede what an individual can accomplish for better or for worse. These great Democracies can withstand radical shifts in policy if the populace knows both sides are committed to the actual success of the whole Nation. Some countries gain Democracy but lose
their way when elected leaders can't relinquish control to the next caretaker. The leaders use their position to ingratiate themselves and entrench in the power of the collective National position. Venezuela, and maybe the fledgeling Iraq, come directly to mind. Other countries really need a belligerant face, to put on a tough persona, because weakness signifies vulnerability and vulnerability invites aggression. Iran and North Korea come first to my mind here. Some countries play weak and venomless but are really just waiting for the most opportune time to strike the unsuspecting. Russia's recent actions set off all my early warning devices. Other countries may hate US but need US right now so cannot be considered a direct threat. Like China ,Saudi-Arabia, Pakistan, and Africa.
Most European and North American countries have learned how to settle differences at the ballot boxing Arena of Ideas. Sometimes there's a sore loser, like in America (Florida)in 2000, but losers concede and the business of the country gets done. So maybe the more antagonistic and vitriolic we get toward each other (conservatives vs. liberals) the stronger our country really is. The more passion we feel against who we feel will ruin our country, manifest as anger, is actually a sign of caring deeply about the direction we are heading. Who knows whose worries will really come true.
So living with the results is what makes a great country. Overcoming whatever obstacle happens to land in your path. Working together. All for one and one for all.

The illustrations of the "Enemy of the World's" depravity cannot continue to be explained away by occupation of Palestine, America in the Holy Land of the HolyLand, Bush's War, Bush's Lies, Israels's right to exist, or any other cockamamie Blame Game. The evil that men do will live on forever. Until these sub-humans can find Darwin and rise up a couple of epochs we are all doomed to go round and round in circles. These type of citizens make the case against a Global Economy, if there was no "Global Economy" we could just let these idiots eat themselves.
A most dangerous game: Post Reagan we have had, Bush, Clinton-Clinton, Bush-Bush, and now the media is pushing US back into the whirlpool for another Clinton. If Obama could be like Reagan and unify, not polarize, I would take that over another round of Clintonian Rule. Of course maybe the conservatives can pull out of their own death spiral and bring up a good Candidate. Although when Reagan was President He was castigated every bit as much as George W. has been. Time eventually heals all wounds.
They are probably worried this is a sign of success over there. The last thing the Liberal US press wants or the majority of Middle Eastern PressCorps.
You can't keep changeing Governments like changeing socks. Sometimes Democracy can be a messy thing. Obviously not re-electing Burlisconi was a mistake.
Same old Same old, if We want peace feed our friend to the sharks. Peace is as Peace does and every concession Israel makes just gives their enemy another place to launch attacks.
It seems our disease is spreading onto our allies. What we need to do to win the war on terrorism is export our liberalism into Islamist countries where their people can choke on it. That must be exactly what they fear about US the most.
This is an injury I would not even wish on anybody, except the likes of Bin Laden, Zwahiri or Al-Martyr. This exact thing happened to me two years ago and seeing a top athlete like Wade in so much pain gives me the Willies. I wish him a speedy recovery, but the re-hab for me was almost as painful as the original injury. It does make me feel like I'm not so wimpy though, because I know this guys pain threshold is extremely high. ouch!
What in the World does Russia think they have to worry about? Is their advantage over everybody else in the region supposed to supercede common logic? They are letting it be known they prefer the likes of Ahmadinajhad and Assad and Nasrallah to calm and collected western Democracies. When Putin goes I worry about who will be able to undo these polital stances reminiscent of the Cold War.
I wonder if Indonesia were a predominantly Christian Nation as much tragedy would befall them as happens now. My prayers seem to go out to them on a regular basis. Maybe it is just the fact that there are so many people concentrated there.
There is nothing Britney could have done much more stupidly than last weekends flame-out. The ammunition she dished to K-Fed will tie the two of them together for at least 18 years. What a stroke of luck for a ding-dong like him. I am sure he will need a lot of alimony. When you sleep with dogs don't mind the fleas. Is the demon that infested Anna Nicole's soul attacking Britney? Not that it makes a huge difference in the grand scheme of things, but every soul is precious and little kids are watching, too. We are all examples to an audience of at least a few.
WoW! All I can say is WOW! If you keep looking eventually there is something amazing in a totally different way.

Prince Harry going In and Britain coming Out?
I wonder why Great Britain decided now was the best time to begin to draw down their troop level in Iraq? Could it have been? Nah that would be a Royal Interference. I hope with the American surge coming they can get rested and soon rejoin the War On Terra somewhere where they are needed. Our countries didn't invest in military might to just sit around and wait for conflict to blow up on us, did we? The areas that Great Britain has been policing are relatively peaceful zones. I guess America needs to correct Baghdad and then there will be World Peace.

The Forty Niners lost coach Norv Turner, and to San Diego. Well Norv you better win in the playoffs,or you're out. Marty Schottenheimer deserved better and now I know I will never root for the Chargers again. Good Luck! Actually it is a good situation, the Chargers could have gone all the way if they weren't so unprofessional ,no fault of Marty's. So with a little discipline they will be a force. I hope the Forty-Niners offense doesn't go back to sucking next year. 1 more year and they would have been pretty good.

I hope Condoleeza can be successful over there, anything good news oriented might start an avalanche.
We can't forget that life goes on, there are so many things do in life.
It needs to get repeated ad naseum here, too. The message our leaders want to convey has to be shoved down some Americans throats, because some guys get free publicity and some guys get bad publicity.
I haven't thrown out my peanut butter yet, but it's scary to know how things slip through all the layers of protection we have given ourselves.
I've always wanted to go climbing, but I guess there's a good reason I'm so chicken. I guess IMAX is better.
The Presidents plan for Iraq must have at least a long shot of proving itself successful, judging by the Democrats all out effort to interfere.
Terrorists are never going to stop their wicked ways, May God stop them His Way. India and Pakistan are starting to notice each other again. It's almost like there are going to be X amount of terrorist attacks every single day. No more no less. Could it be The Lord restraining Satan until it's Time?
The Russian people have learned how to live with domestic terrorism. This time it was in the Holy City of St. Petersburgh.
We need to enjoy every day as best we can.
We have to have known the Enemy will say anything and have a decent chance of being believed by whoever has an axe to grind with the USA.

The Non Binding Resolution
I want to state how I feel about the War in Iraq. I wish the U.S.A. could figure out what our National Interest is. Is it O.K. to suffer another attack like 9/11/2001? Should our country try to act like nothing of much consequence happened then and nothing remotely like that could ever happen now? Of course we could overcome anything that happens to US, we have no choice but to move forward. But how can we keep living like war is imminent? Especially if war is not imminent. War has always been a fact of the Human Experience. Everybody is so sure they have to fight for their place under the sun. A certain amount of striving and yearning is good for the soul, but to constantly be aware of outside aggression wears out even the most stalwart sentry. I feel that freedom is always worth fighting for. If the Iraqi people felt freedom was worth fighting for maybe Saddam Hussein's tyranny would have never lasted all those years.
Here in the U.S.A., in 2007, we are so detached from what evil can ruin a society we assign it to leaders whose faults are mostly self inflicted and deprecated. Weaknesses that fluctuate from infidelity to hippocracy. Weaknesses that can take down a once great Nation.
Even if we would insist that a belligerent country like Iraq come clean and stop resisting their call to peace among the friendly Nations of the world, there is no guarantee they would actually do so willingly. They really know no other way. Maybe next generation.
So there you have it, I guess I can be chalked up to, "It's not worth another American Life or Dollar if the Iraqis don't step up and take this thing over", we do not know as well as they do who the Terrorists are that are in their midst. But I am totally for US going all out and razing their Hot Beds of Terrorism so they can keep the peace. So I am for this surge, if appropriately applieed, kicking the enemies butts and getting the Iraq Army to secure their own peace.
So I would vote for the surge but qualify it with progress, openness, and complete effort to win.
I want to state how I feel about the War in Iraq. I wish the U.S.A. could figure out what our National Interest is. Is it O.K. to suffer another attack like 9/11/2001? Should our country try to act like nothing of much consequence happened then and nothing remotely like that could ever happen now? Of course we could overcome anything that happens to US, we have no choice but to move forward. But how can we keep living like war is imminent? Especially if war is not imminent. War has always been a fact of the Human Experience. Everybody is so sure they have to fight for their place under the sun. A certain amount of striving and yearning is good for the soul, but to constantly be aware of outside aggression wears out even the most stalwart sentry. I feel that freedom is always worth fighting for. If the Iraqi people felt freedom was worth fighting for maybe Saddam Hussein's tyranny would have never lasted all those years.
Here in the U.S.A., in 2007, we are so detached from what evil can ruin a society we assign it to leaders whose faults are mostly self inflicted and deprecated. Weaknesses that fluctuate from infidelity to hippocracy. Weaknesses that can take down a once great Nation.
Even if we would insist that a belligerent country like Iraq come clean and stop resisting their call to peace among the friendly Nations of the world, there is no guarantee they would actually do so willingly. They really know no other way. Maybe next generation.
So there you have it, I guess I can be chalked up to, "It's not worth another American Life or Dollar if the Iraqis don't step up and take this thing over", we do not know as well as they do who the Terrorists are that are in their midst. But I am totally for US going all out and razing their Hot Beds of Terrorism so they can keep the peace. So I am for this surge, if appropriately applieed, kicking the enemies butts and getting the Iraq Army to secure their own peace.
So I would vote for the surge but qualify it with progress, openness, and complete effort to win.

A Highwire Act Without a Net
It must be incredibly difficult to be in charge of United States Security with roughly half of the population indifferent or in outright denial of your desperate desires to make sure not one high profile attack succeeds. Nobody cares if you are successful 99.99% of the time if the .01% chance is the attack that causes the death of many innocent souls. Since we in the USA have the big bullseye on our backs, the rest of the free world is watching and waiting.
I will grant the Islamascists frustration at our apparent lack of moral fiber for I lament it every day, too. But for every piece of crap pornographer or adulterer, or crooked cheat, there are an equal number of God fearing, peace loving, and nice people, here. And Islam itself has the same dichotomy,many of the same sinners, blood lusting, drug smuggling, peace hating S.O.B.'s to go along with their "true believers". Jesus said remove the beam from your own eye before you try to take out the splinter in someone elses. Oh, how the simple platitudes cut to the quick of our souls.
Man made governments can only do so much, human nature is so vastly varied and complicated. Politics and political manuevering ensure that partisan bickering could actually override National Interests. No one can really be to blame when ostensibly all sides believe they are correctly analysing and disseminating the facts honorably. But actions have consequences. And being wrong while trying to do right is just as wrong for everybody else, to whom it is concerned, as actions with nefarious inspirations. Especially when lives are lost and property is damaged.
Somewhere in the chain of events that make up our lives, those of us living at the beginning of Spring 2007 A.D. Everyone alive on the Planet Earth will have had to make the decision, is our life, here, now, Divinely inspired to do the will of Lord God Almighty?Are our decisions to fight, if we have to, for freedom for everyone? How does God really want to seperate the wheat from the tears? How will His Will be fulfilled, and by whom? Are Angels going to come down from Heaven to do the work, or are the Good, God Fearing Christians in the World going to have to unite ourselves? Actually I would prefer Angels to come down and do it themselves, because then we would know, there would be no ambiguity. God's real will was being done.
I like to kid myself that if I were there with Moses, seeing all the miraculous things, I would never have gone to worship the Golden calf. I would have been satisfied with the pillar of fire, the Manna, the parting of the Red Sea, water from the stones, and everything else God did to free me from Pharoah. But many always get beguiled, even now with all We know about what is to come, Many, even the very elect would be deceived, but that the Days will be shortened. The hard lessons that the Jewish people suffered through and chronicled for future benefits should never be misunderstood. God so loves His own that he chastens us, corrects and guides our paths. And we can find ourselves astray so quickly we cant afford to look away for long.
And that is why We have to have Faith.

Happy St. Valentines Day
A Day set aside for love, so I probably should not have gone to News Stories. There, there is not much more than mayhem and threats to world peace and prosperity. Our World still has a chance for the Harmony we see on Christmas Day, Valentines Day, Easter, and Our Birthdays. It seems to me when our minds think positively we have much better days. Perception is 9/10'ths of reality. If everybody wasn't so afraid of being taken over the second their guard is let down we could beat our swords into plowshares and our spears into pruning hooks. The pie really is big enough for everyone.

Local Teevee gets High Definition setup and you would think they re-invented the wheel. It looks the same to me but I don't have an HD TV.
Swastikas and K.K.K. scratched into vehicles in Yuba City.
Another Street Racing death on Sunday. This time a pedestrian. A 16 year old pedestrian. It will probably take a few high profile convictions to reverse the alarming trend we are seeing. The new law can't take effect fast enough for some unlucky people.
Fog. And today we drive through the Delta. I hope everyone takes their time. No passing please, there are already enough crosses on that stretch of road.

Deal or no Deal?
It seems all the deals we would like to think could help create some world peace always fall through.
It seems all the deals we would like to think could help create some world peace always fall through.
Maybe All the War in Iraq buys US is Some Time
Looking back on the decade of 2000-2010 future Historians will most likely have to concede this Decade was a prosperous and avant garde moment in World History. Even though the War on Islamic Terrorism rages on, most of the world lives in some cocoon of peace and prosperity and has benefitted greatly from technological and medicinal breakthroughs. The Hot Spots of violence are semi-contained to geography adjacent to Islamic rulerships and will stay that way for the foreseeable future(America's involvement). I believe that is what made President Bush's decision to topple the Hussein regime. The world's need to keep chugging along without a serious bump. However getting from point A to point B will necessitate getting over the bump and across the river.
I believe what the brave American soldiers have bought the World with their blood and Sacrifice is time. Time to get to know our Creator, time to get right and fulfill our destinies. What we do with this intermission is extremely important in our individual walks with our Lord and Saviour. Time is something we never have an overabundance of when it comes to Mortality and fighting off Satanic influences.
Sooner or later, in God's own time, what was prophecied must come to pass. The Bible is very specific about the sequence of events. The Bible is also specific about being prepared, prepared for the coming events and prepared to give reasons why We believe. Sometimes in my own selfish way I pray to God to let my children grow up, have kids of their own, and live peaceful, fruitful existences. These are only good things but sometimes I forget the part about 'Let Thy will be done', Jesus said "Do not think that I come to send peace upon earth : I came not to send peace, but the sword" Mat 10: 34
Sometimes what is necessary is not so easy, but if we look to Jesus for strength, He provides what we need to do His work, To proclaim Him before the World.
So do we stay or do we go? Leaving would abandon the good Muslim and secular Iraqis to torment and slaughter. Staying can stem the tide of defeatist thinking and God willing bring on some peaceful times in a troubled part of the world. Personally, I think while we should stay and press onward the tide of discontent will push US away and the Beginning of the End will commence.

The Palestinians have found their focus of Anger, "mercifully" turning it away from each other. Unfortunately the path of least resistance is Israel. With so many 'Holy' places and cities in the Moslem world you would think some of that piety would rub off.
Putting the Surge to the test, will the tactic of no sect favoritism hold for long? It's a good place to start, at the top, and work your way down.
Iran is running out of aid for their stalling charade, their citizenry can't be happy with the direction the mahdi-seekers have in mind, a confrontation they have no chance of winning.
I thought conflicts were all solved in less than 4 years and then we go home and ponder our navel.
I know this is a BIG story and Anna Nicole ended up following in Marilyn's footsteps much more than she really wanted to, but is it really that important to call it "Breaking News"? America loves a good mystery and this will work for awhile, but I'm not sure it rises to the level of constant coverage. She really is only famous for being famous, and I guess in modern America that has some mileage. And serves as cover for media misdirection.
Such a strange method of negotiations yet N. Korea has gained concessions. I guess if it works to disarm them it's a good thing.
So much ado of nothing, who they gonna charge?
I am all for free speech, even if its ludicrous and base, plus it cuts to the chase. The Edwards camp should not have to distance themselves from these spokespeople, especially if it's how they really feel. I don't think Edwards' polished image would even agree with these impressions so lets leave them where they belong, with the individual. I think the silencing of whom you do not agree with goes both ways and I for one would rather know wherein the heart truly lies.
There's always hope and prayer.
I see, Global Warming actually creates global cooling, wait a minute, how does anybody really know what the Globe does within it's intermediate periods of heating up and cooling off?
NewsFlash Lite: Cowboys hire Phillips so Niners get to keep coach Norv Turner. Yay!
Kings win fourth in a row. Playoff talk, maybe? Nah. Not just yet.

Talk About Fear Mongering
Look at the way the Demican/Republocrat Liberalists chaperone their Media accomplices to define humanities dire situations: Global Cooling, Population Bomb, HIV, Y2K, Global Warming, Famines, Plagues, and Pollution all as deserving of our utmost attentions/resources, all the while relegating much more solveable, and dare I say, dire, situations to our nations survival in the here and now,
Communism Socialism Fascism,and Islamism presently, to problems much too difficult to have ever solved. Like kicking butt in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Widdle 3ast, securing our borders, and developing our own renewable energy resources. Supplying the World with food and good technology. These are all things we can and will do, if our Great Nation can rally behind a cause I like to call Peace and Prosperity. Peace through Victory, and Prosperity most certainly can follow.

The Kaniption Fit
Am I seeing how the Leftists diorama of the Right wing's inability to solve Iraq's secterian violence becoming the effectual detriment to American victory? Do they see our right wing as they see Russia's right wing?, or China's right wing?, or maybe even Pakistan's right wing? With all of those right wings, this right wing American does NOT agree. Maybe that's where we all become divided, in our terminology. China's "hard right" is actually hard left. Russia's "hard right" too, is what?, Communistic. Pakistan's "Right" is right of what Liberal American's think of Christians, unrelenting straight arrows who dont want to have fun.
What is a Right Winger to me? BEING RIGHT! Being true and trying to do the best for everybody.
O.K. now that that's settled, let's get on with defending American interests throughout the world, and creating our own success!

I didn't think anything horrible could happen in the blissful E.U. No guns, no military, no problem, right?
It's Diplomacy in action.
She just wanted another chance to join the 350 Kilometre Club.
Maybe Turkey and Pakistan can throw their weight at the problem and get something done.
I just want to know, when isn't there a problem in Indonesia?
It's O.K. for the Moslems to dig around on the Holy Site but not the Israeli's ?
Slowly and surely it seems Russia is slipping backward toward it's totalitarian/ communistic tendencies.

The Relevency of Averse Proclivity
As downward spirals go, some are definitely worse than others. Like in warfare,actually the Israeli-Palistinian conundrum. That would have to be the worst, most ridiculous waste of energy and wheel spinning this planet has ever seen.
The Spiritual Warfare is another that comes directly to mind. Angels vs. Devils. In its cosmic place, that irreconcilable tug of war can never be remedied into an acceptable human condition. We being fallen entities, desperately trying to get right, and a tempter who has fallen with no remorse, trying to take us down for spite.
An equally terrible and all too common downward spiral that can consume lives is within marriages and relationships. How to stop the cycle of anger? Was it not being loved that made a person unlovable? Or was it an angry bellicose disposition? What could cause that said outlook in someone committed to loving their significant other for the rest of their lives? Maybe it is just simply everyone taking everything for granted, if we knew for sure we only had one more day to live, I am sure the little petty indifferences would not come to light.

Super Sunday February 4 2007
I am looking forward to today's game between the Chicago Bears and the Indianapolis Colts. I've waited until today to unveil my pick studying film and injury reports, just kidding. I am going to go with gut feeling and pick the Colts. I think Peyton Manning is superior to Rex Grossman and although Brian Urlacher is a great player the Bears defense can be had.
I actually didn't think the Bears would be able to get out of the first round, and Seattle, as weakened as they were by injuries, nearly did them in. Then came New Orleans, and their meltdown. As proof the N.F.L. is not rigged, and the Dream Matchup of Peyton Manning, son of New Orleans vs. the Saints, was not meant to be. Give the Bears credit, they won when they had to and deserve to be NFC Champion. When the Saints made a game of it the Bears and Rex Grossman stood tall and withstood the after halftime rally.
But the Colts , with a much maligned defense, for much of the second half of the season, started rolling in the playoffs and on top of that they deposed the Brady curse. Their offense has been strong all season long, and I daresay the vaunted Bears defense will have trouble stopping Marvin Harrison today. Also Dallas Clark should find openings if Urlacher gets too interested in stuffing the run. Which could be the Colts offense only weakness. With the rookie Addai being the man, he will have to step up. I think he can. That's why I think the Colts will win, plus they have a not so secret, secret weapon, Adam Vinatieri. If it comes down to a kick, odds are he will make it.
All the hoopla about the African American Coaches is hooey as far as I'm concerned. Both these guys have been great coaches in the NFL for a long time and both deserve to be right where they are, and one of them will win and one will lose, with grace and humility, on that we can all be assured.

We have to wait until July to find out what happens to Harry? I hope I can wait that long.
In Britain they get a quiz for plotting murder. I'm guessing they flunked.
Russia's got a surge also, and a gap between the rich and the poor. If my economics are correct the rich are supposed to get richer, and Jesus said we will always have the poor. Some people really are needy, but quite a few just refuse to work hard. It's a rising middle class that booms the economy. Those who benefit greatly should help the needy, but the lazy butts need tough love. How do we sort them out?
Hugo Chavez gave himself some more power. Sounds like dictatorship to me. The next decree will be a lifetime "Presidency".
This "Hoax" seems awfully pernicious to me. In this day and age every stupid prank seems tainted with being a test run or a training exercize. I wonder what Jane Fonda thinks of the bad publicity, and competition.
As tragic as that accident was, the deep pockets syndrome is sickening. Not even Beckham is worth 50 million.
Maybe they won the physical war, but just like US, the media propogandists paint a different picture.
There's no way guys want to be thin, not that bad.
Don't worry Joe , I'm sure you'll get a pass. They want you in the race as long as possible.
How soon until we see the leaks? How soon until something bad comes of this?
I'm glad this won't happen until 2012, because who knows what is going to happen then.
Of course they will forgive a Liberal Politician, He's right up their alley.
I guess it's all about priorities, who they'll nuke first? Oh, Israel, thats o.k. with Jacque.

I'm glad this won't happen until 2012, because who knows what is going to happen then.
Of course they will forgive a Liberal Politician, He's right up their alley.
I guess it's all about priorities, who they'll nuke first? Oh, Israel, thats o.k. with Jacque.

This Record Breaking Dry Spell
California is in a very dry pattern right now. Maybe its' because of Global Warming, maybe el Nino. It's comical to me that the Newscasters love for it to be record setting something or other. When rainy season started a little early everyone was stressing about flooding and our levees. Memories of Katrina were fresh and the temptation was too great to cry wolf. Well now we have a lot of dry weather so they are working away on the levees but everyone is just about ready to whip out the D word. It has been maybe 15 years since our last serious droughts but I guess we got spoiled. I know the jet stream could shift and all the storms could come right at us like the last few years and then we could worry about flooding again. I think Arnold's prayers for some dry weather to dial in our levees has been answered and for that we should be thankful.

Why Darfur is O.K. But Iraq? No Way?
Many of the same defeatist Leftists that want US out of Iraq would be endorsing United States involvement in Darfur to stop that genocide, and I think I know why. Besides the obvious fact that Darfur is not really in our National Interests, if the going got too tough and we had to cut and run, it would not be a National Tragedy.
The Benchmark Crowd are telegraphing the timetable to victory to the Insurgents who otherwise have no hope of prevailing. If all they have to do is wait US out and continue the high profile violence for the International presscorps what better gift to them than a template for when we have had enough?
All the Hollywood types who play intellectually savvy political commentators in real life also pretend they can identify with the common man. They have millions stashed away, food stockpiles, property thats paid for, and enough weaponry to kill you if all Hell breaks loose and you have to hunt your next meal on their property. You can't tell me they would have trouble getting along in life if the world economic system collapses. They will survive and all the idiots protesting along with them will soon be dead because their heads were in the sand when they had a chance to do something about the world situation.
I can't say that all of President Bush's motives are pure, but I do believe in all sincerity, that He knows the world situation and is trying to keep it status quo for posterity. What else could a responsible person do? We can't throw a monkey wrench into the world economy and expect to come out of it unscathed. Heck, our economy, as booming as it seems sometimes, other times it seems so tenuous. On a purely personal level, anyway, its all the same.
So where are we to turn? The politicians are dominoes of capitulation. The spokespeople are self serving. The vast majority of the electorate are distracted. The Media are self important. We must look inward and outward. Inward to our self preservation and outward as to how we can serve our fellow man. We are all in this together and hopefully we can come through it all together as a nation undivided, under God, with Liberty and justice for all.

I'm not sure announcing plans to the Whole World is the best idea. Still not quite sure why we were not already doing that, at least we are all clear as to what will happen if and when _______ becomes _________ .
Only tens of thousands and it gets a full court press. Why is the media so invested in our defeat ? And why can't these pacifists figure out what the Hell is going to happen if their ways become how we deal with this enemy?
They can't neutralize President Bush fast enough, they can't wait to tag Iraq as another Military Victory flipped into a political defeat ala Viet Nam. They can't wait to sell US down the river.
Senator Biden has once again shown his true colors. Bin Laden should be proud.
Seeing how the Republicans are handling their defeat in November is about as sickening as watching your favorite football team try to run out the clock down by 3 points with 2 minutes left to play. Really, now they are proving they deserved to lose and will continue to lose. I thought the statement in November and continuing today in regards to the public and Republicans in particular's feelings about the war are that we have not gone far enough to win, Just WIN baby! Thats all America wants. Contrary to what the Media and the Liberal Pacifists are saying through their staged temper tantrum protests.
Sometimes things happen within the R.O.P. and we aren't even there.

Seeing as all El Baradai does is talk and nothing happens I have to wonder why He thinks it would make any difference. Iran is NOT N. Korea and the solution to that problem is different.

I Left You My Calling Card.
With all of our spineless politicians starting their campaigns for a Presidency they will have effectively weakened when they are right in the middle of an important task reminds me of a kid with attention deficit disorder. Either they are incapable of dealing with the situation, or deliberately trying to sabotage the effort. Even though the evidence is to the contrary these are not stupid people. They have risen to the top of their profession with persistence, conniving, lying, and grandstanding. I know trying to get anything done in Washington must be like trying to herd Cats, but with our Countries security and prosperity at stake, anything less than complete dedication to success is unacceptable.
What good would a Democrat or Republican Party be if the nation is in tatters or falls into civil war or God forbid is destroyed by one of our MANY enemies? I know a lot of people think there is no way that could happen. But it has happened in the past to ALL top dog nations and civilizations when they become decadent and deaf to the concerns of the people who make it all work.
The appeasement crowd only wants to see our military in action when they are feeding the starving masses, displaced by Wars and natural disasters, not eliminating what is creating the Global suffering. Missions with the objective of only rescuing the helpless little children stepped on by totalitarian regimes, really doing what the U.N.'s job should be, are where Liberals see the U.S. Military's deployability. A reactionary response to the problem. I believe our military should only be used in situations that directly affect our National Interests. Maybe we could have another outreach program, meals on wheels, to help out the less fortunate in the world and illustrate our desire to do good and righteous deeds. We have always had and will always need to have the best military force in the world or we will cease to be the great Nation that we are, and that we have created for ouselves the imperitive to remain.
There must be a great statesman out there who can save US. A Truman, Churchill, Reagan, or Thatcher. The class of politicians coming up in 2008 is so weak, watered down, and wimpy I am afraid we might not even make it to the end of the Mayan calendar, 2012. Which coincidentally lines up with the end of the first term of the next President of the United States.
This lady seems to me to be worth knowing about. She called it and paid the price. Prophetic vision comes in all shapes, sizes, and from anywhere in the World. When the writing is on the wall it doesn't hurt to read it, forewarning can be helpful, even if it does make you weep.

Don't even waste your time Senator Hagel.
Probably feeling full of themselves after pow-wowing with India.
I knew we would have to outlaw motor vehicles sooner or later.
I sure hope the Democrat Party has more to show 1 year after their Big Win.
I guess Hillary had to do whatever she could to cool Bill down or at least have Him protected.
As powerful as the anti-smoking lobby probably is, this seems way over the top .
Maybe their full time job is seeking peace, not really creating it.
Poor President Bush, whatever He proposes he gets the opposite response. Maybe He should push for All out World War, Higher Taxes, Pollution, more Oil Consumption, Gridlock, Killing Babies, Kicking Dogs, conversion to Islam, shoot, He could endorse Drug Use, Street Racing, cutting work cutting school, high fat diets,staring at the sun, you name it. If I were an elected representative that could be my policy, the knee-jerk act of 2007. Just go against the President, He will modify policy according to the knee-jerk act.

Thank God Somebody
is still fighting the war amid all the posturing and preparing for the making of sound bites. Even though this was last year, things were happening nobody could talk about. More than likely things are happening right now that are similar or greater in value to our security and safety.
If we can get Iraq the security they need they might turn things around, and that kind of victory would make the defeatists look like the traitors they truly are.
Sooner or later we will be able to develope something that will make warfare obsolete. Then we will just have to wipe out individual murderers and drunk drivers etc. etc.

Are our Chinese Brethren Looking for Trouble?
I know that a confrontation with China is probably inevitable, and perhaps they are waiting until We seem vulnerable, I just hope our elected Representatives know their weak stance toward our known enemies might trigger the agression they so greatly fear and shrink away from.

Zoe Lofgren for President
Representative Zoe Lofgren ( Democrat, San Jose) says with just 1 month of funding the Iraq war we could double our scientific budgets and come up with an alternative energy source. So maybe that is the Democrats plan. I like it! I will vote for her myself. The answer to our problems was so simple we couldn't see it. Well what are Bill Gates or Warren Buffet waiting for, don't they have that much money? I'm sure they would like to be in on this new investment opportunity.
The article (L.A. Times, linked to in the previous posting) goes on to say that in perspective to overall Federal Spending, it's not that much. Again I must ask, why are we not doing this? Is Zoe Lofgren making a ridiculous statement to illustrate a weak analysis of our overall situation, did the L.A. Times reporter misquote her, or is this the solution to the problem we have all been praying for? Joel Havemann let that bombshell go without even disseminating it. That could have been his story, not The usual defeatist angle, It costs too much so let's give up.

I am not sure why the leftists are angling for our defeat at this time, when their own future's are at stake, too. What is the cost of not doing anything? September 11, 2001 cost US 3,000 lives in a couple hours, Billions in property losses, a Trillion or two hit to our economy and Billions to insurance companies. And what is the actual Military cost? They would still be employed, paid, and training at Taxpayers expense. I think the question is better asked, can we afford another attack of similar or greater magnitude than 9/11/2001? We all know the answer.
There is still hope in Europe, maybe they can save the sinking ship. The pendulum swings.
We can not forget our foes are attempting to band together and push.
The big fans help, but they also hurt.At least it's a dry cold. This week it's Global Cooling here, anyhow.
Oh, my God!?!
President Bush has at least one Liberal on board. Arnold is tap dancing a fine line between psuedo-conservatism and outright socialism.
The Bird Flu advances. I know it wasn't H5N1, but flu season is upon US, wash hands often.
How easy do we have to make it? When will we decide to re-unite with this expatriate.

Oh China where art thou?
What have you done, trying to play God in a Godless society? The State wanted you to slow down with that population growth, so slow it you did. Not by letting the birth's happen as they may have, but you wanted sons. So sons you have, sons with no lover's or wives. What a lonely existence it will be in China maybe your population will really be slowed more than you like. Maybe all these guys will look to each other, or maybe with nothing to live for they will look for war.

The Presidents Speech.
I heard a couple good little buzzwords from the President. He alluded to the rules of engagement-using the word restrictions. I am just praying our guys can begin to use overwhelming force. I hope I am not reading too much into his words. But referring to Syria and Iran was good and the veiled threat was even identifiable by this novice. Unlike Durbins Deafotocrats, I think President Bush wants to get this right ,not just show up the other guy. I thought I saw resolution in Bush's eyes, not to let the media, through the staged violence, convince the general disengaged electorate there is no value in fighting the tide of evil swamping the civilized world.
I liked hearing the President correctly identify this as the defining ideaological struggle of our time.
I too pray that the Iraqi people step up and stop the insurgency. There is the word surge in insurgent. Maybe the stake they should get from their oil wealth can refine their wills to create their own country in their own image.
The liberals led by Durbin and Vilsack want polls to run our foreign policy. We elected a President to be our commander in chief, not a mob. They mention our treasury like the money defending our country should really be spent on social programmes, not the most important job our government has the responsibility to perform.

Conservative Policies will continue to benefit America. Why shouldn't We be the World Police?
One thing I think our country needs to really see, not just in Hollywood action flicks, are the ramifications of actions like, Driving Drunk, Speeding, you can throw in fighting like gangs and drunken idiots at the bar, jealous lovers quarrels. Not blocking off 3 City blocks for 4 hours because some shmuck drove drunk and wrapped his car around a telephone pole. Get life back to normal asap. The way we hide from the reality of death here in the west I am sure is something these Islamic deathloving freaks feel they can exploit in US. We are still in denial as to the finality with which these zealots would put US under, just as we are in denial as to racing around in cars like lunatics could kill the perpetrator or an innocent victim, and is happening here in America every day.
We should all be just as worried about negligent/criminal drivers, as we are all here in America way more likely to be killed on the Highways than killed by terrorists. Or, our Soldiers in Iraq have almost as high of a likelihood of dying in a traffic accident in Iraq as being killed by enemy gunfire. And relative to the general population here in America many of them are a lot safer. At least even with watered down rules of engagement they have the weaponry to defend themselves and maybe then facing lawsuits is better than being killed outright.
Lets let our brave soldiers go out and win this thing.
They can, they already did.
Some here in America just want to give away our advantage.

Governor's Health Care Plan for All.
I guess learning Spanish is now even more important than it ever was. And what about all those guys in jail? If you can't beat 'em join 'em, right? I think I will learn to speak Spanish, then pretend I am an illegal alien, then I won't have to pay the ridiculously high price for medical insurance. How would anybody ever know? I'm a homeless illegal alien, "no se nada"
I wonder if I can sue the State of California for forcing me to have to move away. When will the electorate begin to realize the government is there for the citizens, the legal citizens? What if everybody that is trying to be a law abiding citizen just gave up and became a deadbeat, our whole system would collapse.
Maybe thats why we are fingerprinted to get a drivers license, contractors and business licenses, cash checks etc. The control over the law abiding keeps getting ratcheted up while the scofflaws and criminals get away scot-free. An illegal alien can change his name, move to a new city and become a totally different person with no past record of indebtedness or ineptness or sheer shysterism.
Arnold has re-invented himself as a centrist, so I guess we can see policies devoid of conviction, inability to make a stand based on conservative principles. I think to Governor Schwarzenegger being a centrist means going to the liberal side, not that he was much of a conservative anyway. A fake to the right gets you office in California every time. Or maybe Maria was threatening to cut him off.
The whole health care situation is such a joke, insurance is layered upon anybody who wants to protect themselves from the litigous practices of blood sucking advocacy pirhannas. It's extortion with loan sharks adjudicating the whole mess. Why can't every individual be responsible for him(her)self and their own health situation, working or off-work (playing, sports, recreation) etc.?
Employers can pay half as workers comp. and the individual pays the other half as a responsible caretaker of their own temple. The employer can write off their portion and should pass on savings if the worker is careful and accident free. Thusly motivating the worker to be healthy and safe. And motivating employers to provide a safe work environment for their companies. Also it allows the employers to pass along the costs in their business expense.
When there is workers compensation insurance and individual health insurance it seems to me redundant and counter productive to seperate two aspects of a unique equation. The sum of all of our parts.

Or maybe Maria was threatening to cut him off.
The whole health care situation is such a joke, insurance is layered upon anybody who wants to protect themselves from the litigous practices of blood sucking advocacy pirhannas. It's extortion with loan sharks adjudicating the whole mess. Why can't every individual be responsible for him(her)self and their own health situation, working or off-work (playing, sports, recreation) etc.?
Employers can pay half as workers comp. and the individual pays the other half as a responsible caretaker of their own temple. The employer can write off their portion and should pass on savings if the worker is careful and accident free. Thusly motivating the worker to be healthy and safe. And motivating employers to provide a safe work environment for their companies. Also it allows the employers to pass along the costs in their business expense.
When there is workers compensation insurance and individual health insurance it seems to me redundant and counter productive to seperate two aspects of a unique equation. The sum of all of our parts.

Is it any wonder good can prevail in the world, fighting against the tide of the Media. If Israel does not do this We should, and in the nearer than further future. We are in this struggle to the finish and Iran having Nukes is relative to them putting their Queen on our side of the board.
I wonder if we are losing this war too? Or is it even the same war? As ominous as Doomdooma sounds, why can't we all just "get along"?
Talk about stirring the pot. With headlines like these W.W.III is a foregone conclusion.
There has to be some way that Spain can hold elections and then surrender.
You really have to dig deep to find out who the Liberation Tigers are. Buddhists?, Hindus?, Muslims? The weapons and tactics lead me to believe these guys are part of the larger struggle. One of the many death cults, anyhow.
Law enforcement is saying that it is 'probably' not related to terrorism.
But THIS is what I have been talkin' about. Save US American ingenuity.

Iran's Friends Want Them to Come Along.
China doesn't want their trading partner to continue to rankle the West.
It's too bad we all need oil so bad we can't take all these countries back to the woodshed and give them what they are asking for. A swift kick in the pants.
What are we supposed to wonder that China is up to? World conquest and domination, perhaps? Probably just another addict trying to secure their fix.

Democrats and Nancy Pelosi take over America.
Global temperatures predicted to change. In Australia it's called summer. The environmentalists call for "action" will surely target America first. When will they realize the Earth could just shake us off like a dog that has fleas when it wants to? Of course we won't all go, maybe just the rich.
Gerald Ford laid to rest.
Saddams buddies get to see him soon.
Mitt Romney prepares to make a run for the White House in '08. His hecklers attitude is all you need to know about this man. A typical reaction by a commy-lib who fears a man of conviction. Personally I don't care for Mormonism, but I would rather have a Mormon next door than a lunatic leftist. And I am certain Mitt Romney would make a great President.
The ferry captain did survive.
Parkinsons disease drugs may be harmful, watch for push for embryonic stem cell endorsement by Dems.
Watching the News on T.V. it's all about the caveat, and Walt Gray.
Playing God again. Beware.

Former President Gerald Ford
Former President Ford has waited until he is in the beyond beyond to criticize the Iraq War effort and current President Bush. We know this because now it's a leading tidbit of information the newsmedia hounds are all salivating over. This disposition alone will probably put him on the liberal media's top presidents of all times list. I have to wonder how a great bi-partisan uniter of our country in one of it's darkest hours felt about another former president who was dawdling with interns and staining the oval office with bodily fluids while a threat was building that will take lifetimes to eliminate?
Of course whatever President Ford felt about former President's Carter and Clinton will never see the light of day on any National news programs. Not that that really matters much anyway. In some of President Fords interviews recently replayed he stated that His Presidency still cannot be completely evaluated because events are still taking place, and only historians with the proper perspective of time can truly judge just how effective his administration actually was. That should be a sobering reminder in and of itself to US all. The myriad ways our national interests can be threatened at any one time cannot be quantified on a day by day analysis.
Enter Bob Woodward, has he been out of the limelight too long? Maybe he feels like he's fading when Matt Lauer's bright lights aren't warming his cold flesh for a couple weeks. Maybe the vindication alone will provide enough energy to write another best-seller. At least he could have waited until President Ford was buried to dig up some dirt and spin the death of a president into another reason we should all hate President Bush. As expected as the hit pieces are, it still amazes me how low some will go to advance themselves and their agenda.

The U.N. is at it again, it sure seems that their resolutions are usually siding with the Islamic Militant groups, though.
President Ford has passed away, I'm not sure he will receive the love that Reagan did, maybe not even James Brown.Timing is everything.

The practicioners of the "Religion of Peace" are at it again...
The U.N. sanctions Iran on uranium enriching, but will they have time to follow through with all their Big Plans?
It's a tug of war at the U.N. Iran doesnt like it and neither do we.
The bird flu is in Nigeria and Egypt, see a pattern?
Castro is on his last legs, so maybe the dominoes can start to fall the other way in South America. At least his boy Hugo got him that big win.
Bono gets knighthood, chivalry is still alive.?. God save the Queen.
Arnold breaks a leg on his battle chassis.
Want to vote for Obama to think about a possible run for the white house? Come on.!. And what about Hillary? Isn't it a bit early for this?
The English Channel tunnel is a high threat to be attacked this Christmas.
The Niners' are hanging by a thread, good luck guys!
Yao jacks up his knee and we had tickets to see HIM.

Christmas is a hurdle.
Christmas should be a time of thanksgiving and fellowship.
WHY oH wHY do I always just want to get through Christmas.
It should be a time to enjoy and savor.
Not a time to stress and worry over.
Please God let me feel the real meaning of Christmas.
It is always the most stressful time of year in the construction industry.
My life is based on my career.
But ever since I can remember Christmas has been a time of striving to get everybody a present or get in touch with everybody that you know and letting them know that you love them.
All these things are granted to be manifest, however they still must be accomplished.
However I can pull it off.

See, we all have something in common.
We all need to stay warm, and cool in the summer.
Everybody wants to be loved... by God.

In The Name Of ... What The ?
This practice around the world of abasing your womenfolk is as reprehensible and unfathomable as a sane human being can try to comprehend. In India, China, Africa, and all the cesspools of the Middle East the practice of downtrodding or eliminating the fairer sex is worthy of the most strident condemnation sane God fearing people of the world can muster. I guess seeing what those attitudes bring upon their respective cultures is all the evidence we need as to the folly of this rationale.
At the root of this phenomena must be the misogynistic tendency toward domination. Oedipalism equals the powerlessness the tribal lifeline offers in groupthink mentality. But the routine of elevating maleness throws the delicate balance off it's centrifugal center. Only the most aggressive males can benefit from a system that inevitably shrinks the female population down to subserviant and second-class status. Infanticide and abortion are tools that weed out those deemed less worthy. But can't the overall populace feel how constricting it must be to lose half of your actual community? But really lose so much more than that. Like collective conscience, we all know that the female nature is more nurturing and could I say, reasonable? And also motivating, the old saying "behind every good man, there's a good woman", still carries the day, in my mind. In retrospect can't all of the problems in the middle-east be traced back to the way they treat their women? I truly think so.
Open lines of communication with those who know God loves us all, or talk about a self-fulfilling prophecy of frustration.

Setting The Stage
Life comes at us, fast, sometimes too fast. Yesterday some kid was speeding onto the freeway and tried to pass someone on the onramp. He misjudged and spun out across lanes and into oncoming traffic. Now he's dead, and his family must be grieving. There's a trucker out there who saw it all happen right in front of his eyes and now he has to live with the thought that he squashed some kid.
Whatever made that kid think he had to make a dangerous move like that now seems so trivial and inconsequential. Was he late to school or to work? Or was he just one of these jackasses you see on the road every day making boneheaded moves while speeding around, a danger to all those around them. Motor cyclists do the same thing , I see it every day, and when I hear about a tragic wreck I always hope it is the little(or big) @ssholes making stupid moves that are the ones that go down.
Anyone can make a mistake, though, and it is always unfortunate when someone young and inexperienced doesn't get a second chance. Some peoples karma is so instantaneous they pay right away. And then there are some people who always seem to get away with transgressions, flouting the law and other people's feelings. Someday we must all pay, there will be a reckoning. Do we get a reward? Or do we get a bill? And can we afford the cost if we do get a bill?

It's In The News.
Right there for all to see. We are losing in Iraq because people are dying. I guess losing is happening all around the world then. Like in Naples, Darfur,China, Indonesia, you name the country, you can find a human tragedy or two or a thousand. Defining how we are doing in Iraq by how many Iraqis kill each other is about the most assinine calculus I could ever imagine. Do I have to research and publish death counts from Saddams tenure, or even the oligarch before him? If the American people are so stupid to fall for this ploy to unnerve our effort to succeed we will certainly drink the cup of woe to the dregs. If we had a united front I am certain Iraq would be solved and Iran would be worried about how we were going to deal with them. Playing politics has cost and will continue to cost many people their lives. The only comfort I can draw from this is that it has gone on since time immemorable and here we are, still alive. But I can't stop thinking about all those who are no longer alive, and what difference they might have made.
If we looked at anything through such a prism as Iraq's sectarian violence I believe we would be paralyzed to ever move again. When the pest control company comes to spray my house oh my God! Maybe some of the ladybugs, or a praying mantis might get killed. When I yield the right of way on the highway maybe the other motorist will then be on time for the head-on accident. When I pull all the weeds out of the flower bed. When it rains when you are replacing your roof. You give the outside cat some food but the rat's eat it, too. After you pay your employee he goes out partying and get's a D.U.I. You eat a salad but there's E. Coli on the spinach leaves. Even when it's a spare the air day we still have to breathe.
There is a clash of civilization going on right now in the middle-east. An all out idealogical war. It cannot be avoided by study groups or appeasement policies. One side would like to dominate the region and the other side seeks a semblance of stability. Democracy there obviously can't look like Democracy here. Even if we did not need any resources from there we still have friends to look after. When we are willing to let a friend be beleaguered our own humanity will be diminished.
Repulsion has been instilled in our psyches for a good reason. An early warning of potential danger. Poop stinks, violence unnerves, heat, the growl from a dangerous animal, it's all there to warn us to beware. The unrest in the middle-east is the same, spiritual warfare on the center stage.

December 7,1941 A day not so long ago.
A day of infamy, and a wake up call to America. September 11,2001 much the same. Today will be the last gathering together of all the survivors of Pearl Harbor. This great generation is passing away. In reading about the reunion a few things struck me, the allusiveness of these defining moments, and just how history can repeat itself.
In 1938 the survivors of the civil war had their final reunion. They met at Gettysburg and shook hands, remembering fallen friends and relatives, heroes and villains. A few short years later America was drawn into a global conflict we had to win. That generation passed quietly into the night,like all those before them, and all that will follow. They fought to preserve what they thought was good and right. Fortunately the side that was right won. Maybe that war was not as important in the grand scheme of things, maybe it was. Our nation stayed whole and has been a force for good in the world ever since.
Today the members of the 'greatest generation' will gather together officially for the last time. And out there on the horizon is another global conflict about to erupt. I hope and pray America will stand strong once again and make history proud of US. We can and will be victorious if we stay united and focus on the goal of continuing to be a guiding light in the world for freedom and service to our fellow man. Tirelessly trying to make the world a better place. The greatest legacy anyone can leave is to leave the world a better place than when you got there. We can do this.

Attributions: Thought Police.
Liberals vs. Conservatives. Maybe this time [you can insert any instance] we need to accept a possible opposite motive for someones deeds toward ourselves. Whenever an individual {(myself included) or nations, teams , parties, religions, or whatever idiom you would like to insert} arbitrarily assigns a motive to another persons* perceived actual motivation on any particular incident there is a possibility of being up to 180 degrees dead wrong. Linearly speaking. . . So if we just relax and give one another an ounce of credibility, maybe we can see their side of the story, their angle. Maybe they do mean well for us, but our suspicions won't allow us to accept it in the spirit it was given.
Then what? The whole world wants to live in peace and harmony, right? But what kind of peace? Peace brought on by Sharia Law? Or mushrooms? Christianity? The home team winning? It has got to be peace by the divine purpose being fulfilled. Not materialistic, but spiritual, eternal, and complete.
Remember to assume makes an ass out of you and me.
*any situation is applicable.
