Why Not Ohio: My $1.2 Billion Walk

Our bike trail is extremely busy with approx 15 riders a day and possibly 30-50 riders on weekends that can whisk their way to nowhere past beautiful statues made especially for the path. I think that's worth a couple hundred million.

Obama administration spends $1.2 billion on cycling and walking initiatives

In March, Mr Obama's transportation secretary, Ray LaHood, announced a policy "sea change" that gives biking and walking projects the same importance as automobiles in transportation planning and the selection of projects for federal money.

Maybe we could start farming some wind and have geothermal drinking fountains right next to this transportation project so we can get even more money. What if we add cute puppies. And kittens!

If it is BS instead of BO, this young lady needs help and she needs to apologize to voters for lying.

Sabato Bumps VP Bump

Larry Sabato states that choosing a VP doesn't give a presidential candidate a bump in the polls, but history shows different.

VP choices yield favorable bump data say

Sabato does have a political agenda and with the choice of Jabbering Joe the message that must go out is that it is all about Obama and VPs don't really matter. Well, in Biden's case the VP slot does matter. BO's hope was an inroad to the Joe six pack vote, catholics and middle of the road Dems. I'm thinking 3 out 3 ain't bad except these are strikes. Swish, swish, swish.

The mouth that bored is a choice I can't figure out. I think Obama has nothing, but this is beyond a rookie mistake. Biden is a mistake of gigantic proportions. Biden's personal story is a wonderful story of family winning over tragedy and politics. Biden appears to have single handedly saved AMTRAK as he befriended conductors year after year, but is that a story that rings true with the voters when they're standing at the gas pump, in the grocery store, hugging their soldier goodbye or when they're filling out their tax forms?

Sabato is wrong here. Biden brings to the ticket about as much as salt to a wound. It may hurt good, but it doesn't make the patient happy or healed.

Ohio Shouldn't CAIR

CAIR Helps OH Muslims Obtain Driver Photos with Hijab

CINCINNATI-July 12, 2007 - The Cincinnati office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations Ohio chapter (CAIR-Ohio) announced today that two Muslim women in that city were able to have driver's license photographs retaken with their Islamic headscarves, or hijab, after initially being asked to remove the scarves.

Might be time for retinal scan IDs. That's not in the Koran is it? Don't ask CAIR, they'll find that indeed the Koran does forbid it, but I don't really care what they say. Toss'em.

Money found in toilets across Japan

Envelopes containing Y10,000 ($A95.65) bills and well-wishing notes have been discovered in municipal toilets across Japan, media reports said, baffling civil servants and triggering a nationwide hunt.

Local media have estimated that over Y2 million ($A19,131) worth of
bills were found at men's rooms in city halls in at least 15 prefectures
(states) in recent weeks.

Each package of 10,000-yen bills, some wrapped in traditional
Japanese washi paper, was accompanied by handwritten letters that read "Please
make use of this money for your self-enrichment," and "One per person,"
according to reports.

Officials are baffled over the identity of the benefactor or any
motives, the reports said. Packages turned over to police were to be kept for
some time in case someone claimed them.

Communist FUGLY

The Renaissance style was regarded as the style most characteristic of Polish architecture and it was this that was to become Poland`s national form. However, in the course of incorporating the principles of socialist realism there were many deviations, to reflect Soviet architecture more, which resulted in the mutual resemblance of the majority of works and thus the general acceptance of the classicist form. From 1953 critical opinions were increasingly frequently heard and the doctrine was definitely given up in 1956.

Embezzling stripper off to jail in NASCAR case

Stripper gets 40 months for embezzlement

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - A former stripper was sentenced to nearly three-and-a-half
years in federal prison Friday for attempting to embezzle more than $1 million
from a bank to start her own NASCAR racing team.

Man's plot to kill girlfriend ends with his death

A CALIFORNIAN man who tried to kill his girlfriend by leaving her in a car
parked across railway lines was himself killed when an oncoming train hurled the
car into him as he fled.

I hope it was a Olds Delta 88. With a really big hood ornament. And an anvil in the trunk.

Regularizing Illegal Aliens? Huh?

Republicans, still searching for the fastest way to continually shrink their base, are part of a Ted Kennedy plan to legalize illegals. That is to say retroactively make a crime not a crime. Think what this could do for the illegal drug trade.

Along with a border crackdown, Bush himself has advocated regularizing a large part of the illegal immigrants living in the United States. Anti-immigration politicians accused him of supporting amnesty for all illegal immigrants.

I fully understand the Democrats willing to fore go national security and sovereignty, they need to increase their voter base, especially since the dead aren't voting like they used to, but Republicans voting for this crap?

I've had enough of compassionate conservatism. Vote the law, enforce the law, including guarding the borders, enforcing immigration laws and acting like Republicans. Not losers Liberals.

I guess "regularizing" illegals is the new way of softening the illegality of legalizing illegals. No matter, it still won't help republicans that vote Liberal.

UPDATE: I've been advised that the last sentence should read;

"No matter, it still won't help republicans that vote illiberal."

Classic. Illogically so, but is it legal to illegalize the illegal? What? Huh?

Jenna Jameson Loves Hillary, Feels Better Porn Under Democrats

Jenna wants a better society and believes Hillary Clinton is just the woman to do such a thing.

PR.com: "Do you find that the climate of the adult industry changes when
there is a Republican administration versus Democratic?"

Jenna Jameson: "Absolutely. The Clinton administration was the best years for the adult industry and I wish that Clinton would run again. I would love to have him back in office. I would love to have Al Gore in office. When Republicans are in office, the problem is, a lot of times they try to put their crosshairs on the adult industry, to make a point. It's sad, when there are so many different things that are going on in the world: war, and people are dying of genocide...I look forward to another Democrat being in office. It just makes the climate so much better for us, and I know that once all our troops come home, things are going to be better and I think that getting Bush out of office is the most important thing right now."

I do not doubt for a minute that Ms Jameson wants Bill back in office, you know, to stop the genocide.

Another campaign booster is that Sharon Stone thinks Hillary is too sexy.
