Good job Rahm and Axlerod, FOX News viewership is up 20%.
Could you guys advise Obama to slip a line into a speech saying just how horrible this blog is. If so, I hoping to double my readers to 4. Just a little phrase like, "the blog Invincible Armor is uglier than my wife's wardrobe."
That would be a huge boost because I would then publicly denounce you as blegging for support and your numbers would rise dramatically as you call me a Nazi or a racist for my comments and I retort that Emanuel stinks like the fish he sends people, you call me misinformed and I call you a typical liberal and on and on.
Who knows, you could get your numbers back up to 46% or 47% and I could hit the blogosphere's mother load and get better numbers than 'Quilting in Siberia."
Hey Axlerod, you bald tubby momma's boy, Rahm's bad mouthing you to Obama behind your back saying you're just *&#$!%^ things up with FOX.
There, I started it. Come on guys, just go for it.

Movie 'Stars'
I found an interesting correlation this weekend. After watching the Ohio State Buckeyes refuse to play and then the New York Giants take a drubbing they deserved I decided to see if there were any movies on any of the 100's of channels I receive.
When pressing the 'info' button to get more information about a particular movie, I could see a 'star' rating for each movie.
The more 'stars' a movie had, I found, the more the movie sucked. I am talking so much suction that a 4 'star' movie sucked life right out of the room.
Upon investigation I found my best cinematic option was some Woody Allen movie. I would pluck my eyes and ears out before that option would be employed, so I decided to paint the ceiling trim again.
There was some good news. The Yankees won in the 13th (at 1:07 AM) and Kasey Kahn came in second and I finished the trim.

Preservation From The Inside Out
This is very cool.
A Hands on Education
An innovative college in Charleston, S.C., teaches the forgotten arts of preservation
John Paul Huguley won't be happy that this article begins with him.
He'll tell you that it's the students at the American College of the Building Arts who are the real story. But he was the one who started the Charleston, S.C., school 12 years ago—the first in the country with a four-year program teaching trades that seem to have vanished from the modern world. Timber framing. Stone carving. Ironworking. An entire curriculum aimed at equipping a generation of students with the skills needed to preserve America's historic heritage.
Huguley, 39, is as much an entrepreneur as he is a preservationist. In 2000, he purchased Charleston's 1802 jail—a 22,000-square-foot facility that sat vacant for more than half a century and was threatened with demolition—and turned it into the centerpiece of a fledgling school. Not only do students today attend classes in the jail, where Union troops were held during the Civil War, they are also using what they learn to help restore this neglected vestige of Charleston's history.
Related:
ACBA wants to build a new campus on McLeod Plantation, a 38-acre site on St. James Island in Charleston, and a team of 17 students from the Preservation Studio at the University of Miami School of Architecture has proposed how the college could occupy the site. In the New Urbanist tradition of their school (led by dean Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk), the students' plan marries adaptive reuse with historically sensitive new construction and a mixed-use urban village.
I'd like to go back to school. If they'd let me in.

United States Of Islam
(click to enlarge)
From one of my favorite sites:
The map refers to an organisation called the World Islamic Mission, which is a real organisation, although its website at first glance doesn’t include this map (which was taken here from the anti-Islamic site savecivilization.org).

Republican Defense Pork Hypocrisy
If it increases government spending, vote against it.
If it increases government power, vote against it.
What part of this do Republicans in Congress not understand?
Less spending. More freedom.
This isn't just about TARP, Stimulus or socialized medicine and scads of fascist programs like National Service and the arts.
It includes pork.
Most Republicans support our mission in Iraq and Afghanistan. Most Democrats do not. To Democrats, these missions which defend the United States by eradicating terrorists and free 50 plus million people, take away money for their 50 plus years power surge. Money for troops means less money for power. Power, in Democrat terms, means higher taxes for even more money, more government control couched in do-goodedness and control of the message that points out the wrongness of not infiltrating every aspect of our lives, if only to help us, by righting a perceived socialital slight.
If the Kennedy family (and their servant, Kennedy-lite Kerry) wants a quasi presidential museum for Ted, let them go ask the Kopechne's for the money. If Vitter and Landrieu want money for a Louisianna World War II Museum that duplicates efforts across the nation, let them ask the alumni of the University of New Orleans, where they want to build, to pony up the cash.
If most Republicans support our mission in Iraq and Afghanistan, why are they stuffing the funding for our troops there with pork for Republican pet projects. Correct me if I'm wrong, but acting like big spending, corrupt and amoral Democrats got the Republican Party right where it belongs as back benchers whose opinions aren't asked for nor wanted by Democrats and voters alike. The latter because they feel that if Republicans are going to act like Democrats, why not vote for Democrats who are at least honest about their dishonesty. The former because Democrats don't like competition, there is only so much self righteousness and graft to go around.
Republicans, such as Snowe and Collins of Maine want $20 million in Humvee money for workers in Maine, Republican Cochran of Mississippi inserted 35 earmarks for $206 million in a Murthaean effort to "not cede the power of the purse to any administration." Hey, Thad, why not cede the power of the purse to the taxpayer?
Over all, $2.6 billion in pork was inserted via 778 pet projects. Many of these pet projects were inserted by Republicans and these projects take away from military operations and maintenance. That's guns and ammunition and things like training. Granted, many in Congress don't think these things are important, but that any Republican shares this view makes them hypocritical disgraces.

DEMS Have No 'Fear' Of Gitmo Terrorists In US
Democrats appear to have no fear about terrorists coming to America, in fact they think it is a non-issue that only some in Washington, DC care about.
Republicans fail to stop Gitmo transfers into US
Democratic leaders had to push hard to win the vote because many Democrats two weeks ago had cast a nonbinding but politically safe vote against any Guantanamo detainee transfers. But several Democrats from swing districts said they saw little political risk on Thursday's vote.
"It's a nonissue. Inside the (Washington) Beltway stuff," said first-term Rep. Dan Maffei, D-N.Y. "People care about jobs, the economy, health care."
"I haven't had one person ask me about Guantanamo," said Rep. Baron Hill, D-Ind. He added that he does "not in the least" fear it as an issue in next year's elections.
I don't believe that closing Gitmo and bringing prisoners here is a "non issue". They are not just enemy combatants, they are terrorists and are dangerous as well as not entitled to constitutional rights here in America.
This will be an issue in the next election.

Can We Get Sharpton & Jackson Fired?
First we must ask who they work for and, indeed, if they work at all. What is the job they do? How do they pay their mortgage and put food on the table? Who is their boss? I doubt there is a Best Practices chapter in their corporate charter, but who or which office checks on and maintains their professional integrity?
I have perused the tax form designations and failed to find 'race hustler' listed.
"White folks was in caves while we was building empires... We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it." -- Rev. Al Sharpton in a 1994 speech at Kean College, NJ, cited in "Democrats Do the Dumbest Things
Rev. Al, the compassionate street urchin who preached his first sermon at age four, has a history of confrontation. He has been called a racial arsonist for his efforts at "racial equality." He has now decided to go after Rush Limbaugh for being part of a group of investors trying to buy a professional foot ball team.
Enter Jesse "I love me some nuts" Jackson.
Jesse Jackson admitted in a November, 1969 “Life” magazine interview that when he worked as a waiter in a Greenville, South Carolina hotel he spat into the food of White customers. “Spitting into their food gave me a psychological gratification,” Jackson said.
In the July 1972 issue of Time magazine he said that, “He would spit into their soup or salad before he brought it to the table, and watch with enjoyment as Whites ate gobs of saliva as though it were, say, oil and vinegar dressing.”
Besides both of these men are living in a plate glass house, it appears to me that they have caused more racial disharmony than they have ever cured. We can talk about Twana Brawley and we can talk about corporate extortion, but the subject here is racism and both of these men are race hustlers. They make their living off of racial tension.
The fact that they lie or repeat lies about or attributed to Rush Limbaugh only makes their race hustling worse, but who is going to fire them?

America Is Doomed
Yes, America is doomed if this type of thinking continues.
Freedom of religion is no more, not even on public property, which if the constitution is to be believed, makes public property the safest place where there will be no restrictions on the expression of religion.
Children are subjected to zero tolerence rules by schools that ban aspirin and cub scout knives and, oh, there it is again, if a child or a teacher prays or expresses religion. Granted, it seems to be only Christianity that is subjected to these rules.
Now communities have become so PC, scared or just stupid. Case in point.
Apartment residents told to take down U.S. flags
...Oaks Apartment management, Clausen said, the American flag symbolizes problems.
...
He was told to remove the red, white and blue from both of his rides, or face eviction.
(emp. mine)
I'd tell them to take a flying leap.

Obama Must Succeed In Afghanistan Because He Refuses To In Iraq
Obama cannot further succeed in Iraq because that would prove George W. Bush right. That's a given. If Obama proves Bush right, then what is left of the shreds of his base will simply disappear into the chimera covering the door named disappointment.
So, what is Obama going to do in Afghanistan and the region?
Well, he quietly added 13,000 support troops to the 21,000 he approved in March for service in Afghanistan. His generals want an additional 40,000, but Obama is fiddling for his "base" and for the morons that make up the leadership in congress. Add into the mix a bureaucracy that permeates everything from food servers, elevator operators that operate computerized elevators and all the way up to analyzers and the leadership of our covert operations. One is left with a president worse off than Bush because the bureaucracy openly hated of Bush, but cannot do so with Obama. That bureaucracy has become the true decision maker in our government, not the elected officials that we vote for and who doesn't listen to us anyway, but in a different way that the bureaucracy doesn't have to listen.
Obama needs to show he has some vision, any vision beyond community organizing, concerning Afghanistan and terrorism or he will fall to more ridicule than the ghost of Alphie "TNT" Nobel.
I have a nominal idea of what has to occur in Afghanistan, in fact I believe I'm right, but my phone ain't ringin' so I'm assuming it ain't him. So, from afar and in fly-over country I will offer this.
Why not win?
The United States helped the Mujaheddin to win over the Russians, but squandered that victory by no follow through allowing crude forces to tame the vacuum left over and then pacify the citizens of Afghanistan by allowing simple goods to be delivered and sold so people could feed their families. Napoleon. Food. A chance of victory.
Now, the U.S. military appears to be going through phase II of the late Mr. Johnson's war which allows bureaucrats and Obama to direct the effort in Afghanistan from thousands of miles away through the prism of political needs, not military necessities.
If the military asks for 40,000 more troops, why doesn't Obama ask back, why not 60,000? If 40,000 is good, why isn't 60,000 better? What will it take to militarily defeat the Taliban and to bring the Afghani citizens into the effort of helping us bring stability to the country and to some degree, the region.
Most Americans don't know, and don't know whether to care, that Afghanistan and Iraq are just the advertised disaster specials for upcoming stories that are are designed to drive fairly inconsequential political desires here in the United States. Inconsequential when compared to having limbs cut off, wives and daughters raped or killed and villages enslaved to ideologies they don't want or understand. I'm not sure if a cash for clunkers program was considered a necessity in Afghanistan, but I do know feeding a still alive family is a necessity for what's left of the adults in Afghanistan. New cars, not so much.
How inconsequential is Iran or the Chinese military buildup on a nuclear India's northern border? What could be the consequences of a blundering bully from Russia trying to resurrect its once not so-greatness in the region by clumsily stomping throughout? Is it consequential that SoS Clinton appeared to recap the nuclear genie in Pakistan or has she really put those weapons out of the reach of terrorists? How resolved are we to following and resolving these threads that do not fit the narrative that this president got elected on?
Does Obama understand that resolve is a value that transcends language?
One can say what they will of Israel, but Israel's resolve has impressed even their enemies. The United States enjoys no such respect. Once again, looking back to the late Mr. Johnson's war in Vietnam, the United States offered no and gave no follow through to the Republic of Vietnam's government. We left them holding the ball, hence, all of Vietnam is now communist and a model used to ridicule and defeat the United States in other theaters. Mr. Nixon's pinpointing of priorities in southeast Asia was a poor as Mr. Johnson's bombing target lists were in Vietnam. No resolve.
Our current lack of resolve in eastern Europe is squandering historic gains for freedom in the region made by past presidents, ergo the world. Poland wouldn't believe Obama if he said 'good morning' and they'd be right to believe as such. I'm hoping Obama understands the difference between resolve and back stabbing, but I wouldn't believe him if he said he did. Maybe Obama would get a better feel for the political reality outside the United States if Axlerod or someone would inform him that eating a Chicago Polish sausage is not an education in the needs and trust of the Polish nation. And sauerkraut on the wiener is not evidence of advanced thinking on such a situation.
We're in Afghanistan and Iraq for a long time.
The need to win militarily so we can win, thus stabilize, the hearts of Afghanistan to a truly safe and free Afghanistan is a long term necessity. It is a necessity to the emergence of freedom across the world, thus the spreading of peace, and it is a necessity to prove to potential allies that the United States can be trusted in the short and long term. Resolve in Afghanistan means not just winning militarily and then building roads, schools and hospitals, but resolve also means protecting Afghanis from a re-emergence of a Taliban by any other name and by bringing as many Afghans, as possible, into our current century of knowledge and the free flow of information.
What Obama is going to do in Afghanistan is unknown and that scares the hell of of me. It should scare you too. I know it scares the people of Afghanistan.

Castle
Blaise Castle FollyNear Bristol
On a hill above the gorge is a sham castle overlooking Bristol, Avonmouth and the Avon Gorge, with views across to South Wales on a clear day. The architect was Robert Mylne and the date of building 1766; it is now believed that the design and the choice of the Gothic castle style may have had political connotations. Although referred to as a folly, it was inhabited well into the 20th century with sumptuous internal decoration.
Napolitano Wants To Put Illegal Aliens In Hotels
Since the government is nationalizing other industries they should buy a hotel chain for this, say Residence Inns and rename it Illegal Residence Inns.
U.S. to house detained migrants in converted hotels
Obama could put Bertha Lewis in charge of this program. That way she could register them when they sign in. Kills two birds with one stone. Then she could find them a nice cozy home at a really good interest rate so they can start getting their government benfits checks sent right to them.

No On Issue 2 And 3
It is quite simple, really.
Issue 2 adds another layer of government at a time when we should all be striping away layers of government and throwing them in the waste bin of failed modern history. The fact that the board is unnecessary and has little or no oversight makes it a no brainer.
Issue 3 is about gambling. 28 states have casino gambling within their borders. Casinos bring a lot of baggage, including corruption, prostitution, general crime and filth, which we don't need here in Ohio. If I want to gamble there are plenty of places to do so, elsewhere. Just because I go to WalMart once or twice a year doesn't mean I want to live next to one. If you're thinking NIMBY, you'd be right. I lived just outside Reno, have visited Las Vegas many times and watched the transformation of the strip and its effects on Atlantic City and it is ugly just outside the bright lights.
Both Issue 2 and 3 are unnecessary and are to the detriment of Ohio. Of course there are those who see no problem with more government, jobs at any price and crime. They'll vote yes on both.

Wondered If 'Green' Is Bogus?
Soros, who has made billions by screwing those countries that do not do what he wishes, has decided that 'green' is the way to go. That makes 'green' the wrong way for those that work and try to improve life for themselves and those they know and love.
Soros is poison. He is a hateful creep that lurks around the dark corners of the world's economic systems so he can suck them dry.
Soros says aims to invest $1 Billion in green tech...
If Soros has decided that 'green' is the way to go, I will run the other way. Soros cries "power to the people"while he destroys governments, that he has made vulnerable so as to manipulate their currencies, just to make money, so he can then cry "those capitalists" hate the little people, to further enrich himself by emplacing a socialist government, which is more easy to manipulate economically and financially.
How much longer will "progressives", and "socialists" enrich this manipulator in the hopes he will continue to fund their agenda before they realize he is a radical only as long as he enriches himself, ultimately at their expense. Up close and speaking economically, Soros is as warm and fuzzy as a herpes sore that is offering an engagement ring to a weeping finger. Marry him and you are as diseased as him. That is pretty diseased. Pretty diseased for a long time. Time-wise, diseased until one dies a horrible death. His money is tainted.
If Soros has a soul, it is with a little "s".
It's must be pretty hard not having the money and support for one's stupid ideas, infact, so much so that one feels they have to kneel before such a fascist money maker. A money maker who infects those that accept his money.
You want to make money in the green game? Go for it. You're funding, not a cleaner and more beautiful future, but your own financial dependency. It may feel good when you think it is a done deal, but you will still be filling Soros' pocket with money while he laughs all the way to the elitist socialist bank. A bank he owns.
Soros can paint the smokestack green, but it will still be a smoke stack.
Soros is poison. He is a hateful creep that lurks around the dark corners of the world's economic systems so he can suck them dry.
Soros says aims to invest $1 Billion in green tech...
If Soros has decided that 'green' is the way to go, I will run the other way. Soros cries "power to the people"while he destroys governments, that he has made vulnerable so as to manipulate their currencies, just to make money, so he can then cry "those capitalists" hate the little people, to further enrich himself by emplacing a socialist government, which is more easy to manipulate economically and financially.

Honey, I Shrunk The Internet!
Bizzy Blog has continued a story that many, if not most, of us dropped the ball on. Go read his piece which is very good.
The Obama administration has decided that the wrascally world needs to have the chance to change, channel and use the Internet for their purposes, because the mean old United States wasn't sharing it enough.
If the Obama administration wants a profile on all those who disagree with their policies, I want a profile on all the morons that voted for this loser from Peoria and that profile has to include a section on whether they were stupid, ignorant, willfully unable to make a credible decision or if they were paid to vote for Obama. The voting dead need to have permission from their mortician or political leader, which may be the same person, before they personally fill out this section. I can't stand smelly forms laying about.
Ceding the Internet
Under the previous arrangement, the U.S. government retained veto power over ICANN’s decisions. Although the U.S. took a hands-off approach, the relationship helped insulate the Internet from political meddling by states that were threatened or frustrated by its freedom …. the United Nations has sought for some time to acquire authority over ICANN, at the behest of a number of countries who wish to tax or regulate it.
Quite simply, the decision of the Obama administration increases the vulnerability of the Internet to political pressure, censorship, and strangling regulation and taxation.
Let's see:
Political pressure - check
censorship - check
strangling regulation - check
taxation - check
What is there in this decision that the Obama administration can't love other than that we have any say left with the Internet.
I'm sure that our economic overlords in China will work tirelessly to ensure the Internet is free and open. Count Putin in. Ditto, Obama friends Chavez and Castro. Our new friends the Taliban are already working on the Internet Reformed Qumran. Al Qaeda will soon unveil their swimsuit calendar to show just how free the Internet can be and to overcome the bad press those pesky cartoons brought down on their loving hearts and heads.
We might as well admit that Obama just shrunk the Internet to irrelevance so that we can get an underground net going. Maybe we can indulge in some wistful thinking and call it 'The Sons of Liberty' Net.
Nah, that's just make our new Internet overlords fidgety. And I wouldn't want to upset a bunch of overlords that would still be feeding their people to each other if they thought the world wasn't watching.

Graham & Kerry Are Trade And Cap. Why Do We Elect Clowns?
Lindsey "I'm McCain's best friend" Graham and John "Did you know I was in Vietnam" Kerry.
Putz and Putzer have joined hands to tax us even more to protect that which doesn't need protection for the good of all people that don't want the bad Cap and Trade bill.
Is a circus missing two clowns? If so, they've been found.
Sen. Lindsey Graham working with Sen. John Kerry on climate bill
Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina publicly announced his support for climate legislation on Sunday in an op-ed column with Democratic Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts.
"Our partnership represents a fresh attempt to find consensus that adheres to our core principles and leads to both a climate change solution and energy independence," the two senators wrote in The New York Times. "It begins now, not months from now — with a road to 60 votes in the Senate."
I'm not sure how liberals in Massachusetts feel about their John F'ing Kerry hanging out with a South Carolina cracker, even though that cracker has more natural blue blood than Kerry can marry or rent, but I am pretty sure that South Carolinians don't like their boy buddying up with a faux snob married to a faux snob.
I knew that Kerry has never had any 'core values', but I thought Graham might have a few rattling around in the dusty background.
Though neither represent me, the fact that Graham, as a members of the 'club', can so easily sell us out with Kerry makes me want to take a shower. Besides, clowns always scared me.

What Did Obama's Prize Cost The Nobel Committee?
What did Obama give the Nobel Peace Prize committee for his receiving the Nobel Peace Prize as a Blue Light Special?
As a Christmas present in a nonreligious world view:
Israel will 'attack Iran if sanctions not in place by Christmas'...
For peace in Afghanistan:
US forces leave isolated Afghan base after ambush...
Apache Pilots Shocked by Size of Attack on Outpost...
For peace in Europe:
Nuclear researcher from top European lab arrested for al-Qaeda links...
'Big bang'...
RUSSIA: New US missile plan raises 'questions'...
For peaceful feelings throughout the world:
Castro calls Obama's Nobel Prize 'positive measure'...
Chinese dissidents let down...
For harmony here in America:
Barney Frank says DC gay rights march misses mark...
Read the health bill! Not as easy as you think...
For the entire planet:
BBC: What happened to global warming?
For creating economic comfort zones:
Kudlow: Save the Greenback, Mr. President...
For cover to ensure the continued belief that the Nobel Committee is serious:
GAME TIME: Obama Takes to Basketball Court With Cabinet Members, Lawmakers...
It should be an honor for the whole country for our president to receive a Nobel Peace Prize. For accomplishing peace.

Didn't Support Socialized Medicine, Olympic Bid, Nobel Prize? You're A Traitor You Terrorist UnAmerican Nazi
DNC: If you laugh at Obama’s Nobel, you side with terrorists
Far be it from me to question the sanity of the DNC as I used to tipple more than a few drinks with a few of them in various temples of propriety on the Hill. We had great debates, many laughs and a few agreements over the years. I've not only kept in contact with some, I've also done some corporate and charitable work with them and I've had the fortune to attend some weddings and baptisms and the misfortune to attend some untimely funerals.
We were opponents, not enemies. We were friends, not allies.
It was such a friend that called this morning to chortle that Obama had a brand new Nobel to add to his grand list of accomplishments. I was such an opponent to chuckle that Obama had no accomplishments even with a Nobel, but we both stopped the funnin' when Brad Woodhouse's name was uttered by me.
Something along the lines of, "Oh Lord. What has he stepped in this time." came across my phone line.
"I'm a terrorist which is something to add to being called a Nazi, unAmerican and racist, but now it's official as it came from Woodhouse as a spokesman for the DNC," I replied.
I continued, "This clown could write for a tabloid and have more credibility, but a lot of people not part of this fight are going to be pretty p*ssed off when they hear they are Hamas and Taliban."
Having a brand new telephone I knew the line had'nt gone dead, so I closed with an offer to send him the link. We closed. I sent. Haven't heard a word since.
Pelosi weeps when she brings up Democrats murduring each other in California to point out how unjust political rhetoric has become when people standing up for what they think is right only to be called unAmerican. Reid gets all pugnacious when people mention he's being a jerk and Howie Dean gets all puppy eyed right after he states he hates Republicans and all they stand for.
This isn't governance, this is a bully convention in a school play yard filled with 10 year old children playing the part of politicians. I apologize to all 10 year old children except the one down the street.
Well, Mr. Woodhouse, I am not Hamas nor am I Taliban. No, I am not a Nazi or a racist. I detest all of them and want to see them wiped off the face of the earth. You, sir, engender them. You lift them up. You give them all existence.
Mr. Woodhouse, you are a moron and the new leadership in your Party do us all disservice. You all do not just disservice to America, but also the ideal of America.
If you ever call me Hamas or Taliban to my face Mr. Woodhouse, I will knock you stone cold out onto the floor and spit on you before I walk away.
I hope there are enough good people left at the DNC that will lock you out and throw your office contents in the trash.

President Obama Joins The Nobel Pantheon
President Barack Obama has joined the hallowed place where winners of the Nobel Peace Prize reside. After only nine months of peace efforts with Israel, Honduras and Poland and heartwarming receptions with recognized world leaders of peace such as the Dalai Lama, President Obama has surpassed luminaries such as Jimmy Carter, Woodrow Wilson and Yasar Arafat

World leaders hail Obama's Nobel Prize
World leaders urged Barack Obama to seize on the award of the Nobel Peace Prize to intensify his diplomatic efforts to forge peace in the globe's trouble spots.
World leaders urged Barack Obama to seize on the award of the Nobel Peace Prize to intensify his diplomatic efforts to forge peace in the globe's trouble spots.
But the surprise announcement by the Norwegian Nobel Peace Prize Committee in Oslo was interpreted more as a bid to encourage the US president's bold diplomatic overtures to Washington's enemies, rather than a recognition of the achievement of peace by a leader in office for only nine months.
"We do not yet have peace in the Middle East... this time it was very clear that they wanted to encourage Obama to move on these issues..." said the 2008 winner, former Finnish president Martti Ahtisaari.
"This is a clear encouragement to do something on this issue, I wish him good luck."
The 1983 Laureate, Poland's Lech Walesa, was more blunt.
The 1983 Laureate, Poland's Lech Walesa, was more blunt.
"Who, Obama? So fast? Too fast - he hasn't had the time to do anything yet," Walesa told reporters in Warsaw.
"For the time being Obama's just making proposals. But sometimes the Nobel committee awards the prize to encourage responsible action," said Walesa.
Neither did key US newspaper The Wall Street Journal mince its words, describing the choice of Obama as "completely bizarre."
"It is unclear why. For making peace, of a kind, with Hillary Clinton? For giving up the missile shield and cheering up the Iranians? For preparing a surge of troops and weaponry in Afghanistan?" said the paper in an editorial.
"Of course, traditionally it has been standard procedure that winners of the prize do their peacemaking first... But this innovation sweeps aside such old-fashioned notions of reward following effort."
.
Some will scoff at the prize as nothing more than meddling by the Nobel Committee, but they cannot take away the astounding and decisive success Obama has had in Afghanistan. The committee vote took such positive accomplishments, just as they did with Wilson's League of Nations, Carter's overall career of the betterment of all mankind, especially America and Yasar Arafat's known concern and love for his fellow men, in to account when they elevated Obama to this place of great respect and to show that the world now loves America.
.
I applaud the committee for their consistency and vision of how they think America should be run and how voters here should conduct themselves. This is a giant step for America, and Obama, in recognizing that we are part of the world and as such, we should join the world and how they think.
.
To the detractors of this wonderful award I say that criminals such as Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and Hamilton never would have even been considered. Maybe because they would have just ignored the committee. That's the type of men they were and they would have no place in this Pantheon of Peace.
.
Congratulations President Obama. You deserve this award.

ObamasCare Passage Calls For Pathos
As one Ohio blog stated, "Memo to Republicans – you’re not as good at scaring seniors as we are"
Now the memo has gone out for bloggers to write (hopefully not their normal faux story) about women and just how rotten they are treated by the health care industry. Look for minorities and children next. Sad and heart wrenching stories, all.
During the Reagan administration the different press offices for the Democrat Party around the nation would weep, wring their hands, write all of the horrible things that would happen if the latest Reagan proposal became law, pull their hair and then go out for drinks.
It became a joke. So much a joke that one wag sent around a satiric Washington Post front page.
WORLD TO END! WOMEN, MINORITIES AND CHILDREN HIT HARDEST!!
It's no different now except much fewer people watch, listen or read the mainstream media, so liberal bloggers and education facilities are stepping into the breach in hopes of blocking the will of the people through made-up pathos and lies.
It's still a joke though.

Global Warming Is Frosting My World
It's October 8 and already we've had frost. Granted, I am sitting here in a sweatshirt because I don't want to really heat a 120+ year old house, but also I am sick of paying extra for everything I want or need because of the huge set of hidden taxes on those products caused by government over-regulation, taxation and stupid laws that threatens retaliation for things such as toilet paper holders being at the wrong height in businesses everywhere.
I also do not believe in global warming nor the hucksters trying to profit from the theory even if only the need to feel part of something bigger than they.
Scientist: Carbon Dioxide Doesn't Cause Global Warming
A noted geologist who coauthored the New York Times bestseller Sugar Busters has turned his attention to convincing Congress that carbon dioxide emissions are good for Earth and don't cause global warming. Leighton Steward is on Capitol Hill this week armed with studies and his book Fire, Ice and Paradise in a bid to show senators working on the energy bill that the carbon dioxide cap-and-trade scheme could actually hurt the environment by reducing CO2 levels.
The need to address crisis everywhere seems to me to be the bigger problem. It denotes a lacking that could and should be filled by family, philosophy, religion and ethics. That people have decided to pin their existence on manufactured crisis after manufactured crisis and their perpetrators is the real crisis.

Illegal Lawlessness On Laws On Alien Illegals
Laws are in place for a reason and if, say, I don't pay my taxes, I will be prosecuted. Right? Not if one occupies the mighty ethers of the Obama administration. They strip prosecutors of their powers if they, you know, actually use their powers under the law. They order other departments to look the other way if certain senators get special mortgage treatment or congressmen and administration officials cheat on their taxes as long as those suspected, but invaluable to America's future, can cook an excuse at least as well as they cooked their books.
Illegal aliens must also be invaluable to America's future, well, at least to the Democrats future. That must be why the Democrats cry that it is the law that the illegals must get health care, other government benefits and the right to vote. Of course, the Democrats start crying when they need to divert attention from other malfeasance and misfeasance.
Feds limit Ariz. sheriff's crackdown on illegal immigrants
Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio says he will continue his controversial "crime suppression operations" despite a Department of Homeland Security decision to strip him of authority to arrest suspected illegal immigrants based solely on their immigration status, the East Valley Tribune reports.
“It’s all politics,” says Arpaio, sheriff of Maricopa County.
I agree with the commenter that said Sheriff Arpaio should be put in charge of immigration. Only problem is, besides Democrats being in charge, that not one damned person in Washington, DC has the first idea of how to enforce the law.
Well, maybe it's the ethics to enforce the law, but I really don't have time this millennium to discuss government and ethics.

The Face Of Public Option Behind The Mask Of Reason
In what has become usual, President Obama speaks one way to the public while secretly doing the opposite in the Oval Office. Call it the Rahm Effect. Back room dealing, threats and political bribery, all to get what you want even though others strongly disagree, because the public mask will bring you victory as the distorted face of lies remains hidden from view.
Health care reform: Privately, Barack Obama strongly backs public option
Despite months of seeming ambivalence about creating a government health insurance plan, the Obama White House has launched an intensifying behind-the-scenes campaign to get divided Senate Democrats to take up some version of the idea in the weeks just ahead.
President Barack Obama has long advocated a so-called public option, while at the same time repeatedly expressing openness to other ways to offer consumers a potentially more affordable alternative to health plans sold by private insurers.
But now, senior administration officials are holding private meetings almost daily at the Capitol with senior Democratic staff to discuss ways to include a version of the public plan in the health care bill that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., plans to bring to the Senate floor later this month, according to senior Democratic congressional aides.
A public option is political suicide, if pundits are to be believed, so why are Democrats pursuing it? What is the plan after the goal of a public option is achieved? Is there one? Socialized medicine? How will the American public react to this? The 2010 and the 2012 elections could be a disaster for the Democrats if voters view it this way, so why are the Democrats doing this and what is their plan already formed by Obama, his staff, advisers and Party leaders?
If a public option is put in place it will eventually destroy the private insurance industry because private industry cannot compete with government. At present there are over 2.2 million people working in insurance and there are X millions of people that work in ancillary and support positions around the nation. Where will they be employed and who will employ them and, more important, who will support them? If millions of workers are put out of work, albeit with health insurance, how will that affect other industries such as the auto industry faced with millions of fewer potential buyers, the entertainment industry, the computer industry, airlines, transportation and on and on down to maids, lawn services that have millions of fewer customers.
The public option is a wild fire that would spread throughout the economy leaving destruction in its nebulous path panicking markets, the nation and, eventually, global markets and nations.
I think it is time for Obama and his ilk to come clean about their plans for their American future.

Eckels Lake
I learned to swim there. Became a life guard. I mostly lived at Eckels Lake whenever I could. .
The lake was actually an old stone quarry that the Eckels' turned into a gymnasium over water. There was a 12' long barrel to try and run on, traveling rings (seen here), spinning disks that two to six people could rock and cause to spin at a very fast rate, big and even bigger water slides, flying rings that took one way up and over the water (and land on the back swing) and a 3', 6', 10' and 20' diving boards and more.
.
For the life guard test I had to tie my street clothes into a bundle, throw it out into the lake and when it had sunk completely, I had to dive in and "save" it. The water was a coppery green and bitterly cold at the bottom.
.
Mr and Mrs Eckels were like parents who took a real interest in their enlarged "family" which they made me part of. Mrs Eckels suffered from a malady and constantly needed to keep weight on, so each day, when there, I would ride my bike to the Dairy Queen (quite a hike) for a milk shake with an egg mixed in for her to drink. She always had a big smile and a 'thank you', especially when I got back to her with a still cold milkshake.
.
As an only son, when my father took me to Mr Eckels as a young child and asked if he could teach me to swim, Mr Eckels said yes and promptly threw me in the water as my father watched in horror. Mr Eckels told him if I didn't start flapping my arms by the third time I went under that he'd jump in and get me. I started flapping like a bird on the second time and have been swimming ever since.
.
As life guards, it was common to have to watch over a couple of hundred swimmers every weekend while nursing a Grape Nehi, trying to not get caught ogling the bikini contents and getting very tan.
.
The Eckels have passed and lawyers and insurance costs doomed their water gymnasium over water. To the detriment of all.

Ahmadinejad: Death To Jews And ME!
The world just keeps getting weirder. Maybe next we'll find out Obama is Rhodesian, but whatever, Rahm now has a handle to address the Iranian talks. They can compare shawls.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad revealed to have Jewish past
A photograph of the Iranian president holding up his identity card during elections in March 2008 clearly shows his family has Jewish roots.
A close-up of the document reveals he was previously known as Sabourjian – a Jewish name meaning cloth weaver.
The short note scrawled on the card suggests his family changed its name to Ahmadinejad when they converted to embrace Islam after his birth.
Of course, there have always been rumors of different leaders and their hates.

Ayers More Than 'Just Some Guy' As Ghostwriter Of "Dreams"
via Protein Wisdom who, as usual, has a great read. So go. Read.
It seems that Obama's, to quote America's favorite pastor, "chickens are coming home to roost."
Andersen Claims'Two Sources' for Ayers' Role in Dreams
This is the same Obama who said he was unaware that ACORN was receiving large amounts of money from the government.
ACORN who?
Obama is not who he says he is nor is he what his handlers and spinners say he is because Obama probably doesn't remember, if he ever did, who he is.
Obama isn't aware of ACORN let alone its darker and even darker side. Obama wasn't aware of who Rev. Wright really was even as Wright married Barack & Michelle, baptized their two kids, preached and counseled them each week and gave Obama political and campaigning advice. Ayers was "just a guy in the neighborhood", not a murdering terrorist who advised, helped finance and worked with Obama.
It is no wonder that Obama doesn't know much about America. Maybe, just for fun, a reporter should ask, "Quick, Mr. President,what's your wife's name?" or "Quick, Mr President, what're books about?"
Nah, don't confuse him more.

Michelle Sacrifices For The Kids, Not FOO Fighters
Yeah, right. That Michelle, always thinking of the children.
Michelle Obama: It's a 'sacrifice' to travel to Europe to pitch for the Olympics. But I'm doing it for the kids.
Oh, look. There are kids. Everywhere.
Obama 's Friends and Chicago's New Slums
Imagine that. Games, for kids, right in the heart of Chicago. How much land is owned or controlled by friends of Obama (FOO).
A Games in the Heart of the City
One can start with the ever lovely Valerie Jarret and her Habitat, Inc. who fights for profit in the name of the poor.
It's Chicago, even the refs stay bought. Hey, refs were once kids too.

Denial Case Study: Polanski, ACORN and Whoopi
Roman Polanski drugged and raped a thirteen year old girl, was convicted, but fled before sentencing because he didn't like how the judge may or may not sentence him. Now that he has been arrested in Zurich, Switzerland 31 years later, Polanski is using the justice system to avoid being extradited back to the United States to be judged on his flight from justice.
That is the issue at present, but detractors of our legal system, as usual, want to speak to other issues, not the issue of law.
What is worse is than the fact that some of those detractors ignore this issue and they detour further into areas that they are wholly incapable of understanding, they do so from positions of influence. Or are they incapable?
Whoopi Goldberg said on The View, “It was something else but I don’t believe it was rape-rape. He went to jail and when they let him out he was like ‘This guy’s gonna give me 100 years. I’m not staying,” she added.
Later in the programme, she added: “We’re a different kind of society, we see things differently. Would I want my 14-year-old having sex? Not necessarily, no.”
ACORN has shown a pattern of illegal use of federal funds (for housing for the poor) in the political arena. The electoral fraud, racketeering, tax evasion, child sex laws and whore house advice are side issues and, though, still representative of ACORN, they are not the issue, just the catalyst for the current headlines concerning ACORN.
Whoopi Goldberg on The View said, "Here is the gist of what happened. ACORN is a group that is a group of community organizers. They have several places across the country and they work with poor folks and disenfranchised folks for housing, for medical health and all kinds of stuff. The Republicans have always felt that there was something a little off about ACORN and no one could actually put their finger on it. So now two young filmmakers who say that they're conservatives went out to show the kinds of people that are working for ACORN and to give credence to the ideas that, you know, this is not a good organization."
Again, addressing the core issue about federal funding of ACORN is ignored to speak of the things that Goldberg thinks are good about ACORN and she may well purport in the future that in the ACORN case that there was no real fraud-fraud in assisting a potential under the legal radar whore house in illegally immigrating underage girls to serve a prostitutes. That the whore house will evade taxes needed for ACORN's poor is mere bonus for the pimp.
That Republicans do not like, trust or believe ACORN is a given, but that is not the issue. No where does Ms. Goldberg address the 175 groups set up to filter, hide and move taxpayer dollars, paid to ACORN for housing, to be used for political means. Is Goldberg incapable of understanding and addressing these issues or is she turning a blind eye to an organization that supports her political agenda?
I choose Goldberg as an illustrative point of purposeful political denial to address a world and political view detrimental to the core values of the United States of America. One may take virtually any issue, such as illegal immigration, taxation, states rights and others and find that the core issues have not and will not be addressed, because those core issues do not fit the liberal narrative. The Constitution, laws and facts are inconvenient truths that block the desires of liberal groups. The same Constitution, laws and facts that stand between political power and liberals must be denied.
Polanski is guilty of one charge and is now charged with flight and evading sentencing. ACORN has been found guilty of many things, but is now being investigated and charged with illegal use of taxpayer funds.
Remember, William Jefferson Clinton was impeached, not for receiving oral sex from a young lady entrusted into his charge, but for lying to a Grand Jury. And it doesn't matter if the young lady and her parents thought that W. J. Clinton was a nice guy and shouldn't suffer.
UPDATE: Webutante has an excellent post about the Polanski affair and his forced affair with a 13 year old girl.

Rioting A Medal Sport In Chicago Olympics?
According to Obama the economy is as bad as the Great Depression, our health care system sucks and chooses certain segments of society to die and business is the bane of freedom, so he is off to Denmark with Oprah to plead for the Olympic Committee to hold the Olympics in Chicago.
Chicago would bring a lot to the Olympics. A gold in arm-twisting would be headline stuff if a non-Chicagoan won, weightlifting over 300 pounds of cash in the snatch category might only get one a bronze, but lying out of both sides of your mouth (in church) will get you a silver.
Forget golf unless the clubs are larger and sharpened at one end, forget ball room dancing unless beating your partner to death is included, forget cricket unless the bats have nails and the gloves have brass knuckles and darts is just too tame.
Rioting! That's the ticket. Gangs competing for gold by beating one another to death. Though hard to differentiate from politics, rioting is a school sport.
4 Chicago Teens Charged in Beating Death (MyFox Phoenix)
Bolingbrook Student Stabbed
Loren-Maltese Talks About Life in Prison
Twelve Teens Face Felony Gang Charges (MyFox Atlanta)
Bolingbrook High School put on Lockdown After Stabbing
Teen Beaten To Death On South Side
Uptown Rioting Caught on Tape
Right now, relatively unknown Bolingbrook has moved to 5-2 odds for a place on the medal platform, but Obama may have secret plans in the works with Oprah as they jet to Denmark.
Maybe Fenger High School can send their worst. Maybe Obama wants Chicago Lab to bring their razor sharp fencing epees or the sailing team could lead their belaying pins.

Government Schools Sing To Chairman Obama
How far we have come in such a short time. I've prepared a place on my shelf for the forthcoming little red book.
Lyrics:
Barack Hussein Obama
He said that all must lend a hand [?]
To make this country strong again
Mmm, mmm, mm!

He said we must be clear today
Equal work means equal pay
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama
He said that we must take a stand
To make sure everyone gets a chance
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama
He said Red, Yellow, Black or White
All are equal in his sight
Mmm, mmm, mm!

Isn't that the way cult governments are built?

Zalaya Has Gas
They're torturing me, Honduras' Manuel Zelaya claims
It's been 89 days since Manuel Zelaya was booted from power. He's sleeping on chairs, and he claims his throat is sore from toxic gases and ``Israeli mercenaries'' are torturing him with high-frequency radiation.
Yeah, but the real torture will begin with ear splitting broadcasts of Madonna, Elton John and Barry Manilow.
Now that's torture.

I Agree With LaHood
And he should start with the biggest mouths such as Reid, Rangel, Pelosi Emanuel, Schumer and Durbin for starters.
I mean we should at least try to get back to the good old days of Cynthia McKinney.
Secretary slams political 'trash talk'
"Now, when you get farmers picking their corn and beans, driving around in their (tractor) cabs listening to, from 9 to 3, these guys all revved up against Obama, against everything that he's trying to accomplish, that gets people stirred up. "
Yeah, nothing worse than those hick farmers listening to Limbaugh, Hannity and Beck. They just might grab a pitchfork when they hear what this administration has planned.
LaHood went on to say, "And it also gives the idea that maybe these politicians don't know what they're doing."
Yep, he'd be right about that.
Jeez, do these guys know why we had our butts kicked in elections of late. We acted and voted like Democrats, tried to be really really nice guys and finally ended up as corrupt as Rangle.

Pelosi Astrotearing For ObamasCare
Nana Pelosi remembers those years in tears. Those days being when Democrats were murdering Democrats in California and those remembrances cause her fear and tears as she tries to lay the groundwork for all the unions, leftist organizers, and administration personnel to make America cry for ObamasCare.
Her launch board was Astrotearing for civility and Astroturfing protests against insurance companies. I have to assume that her civility includes not using inflammatory rhetoric such as un-American,, Nazi and other slurs.
Now that we've all enjoyed that fine performance of Astrotearing for health and civility we can now look forward to the Astrosurfing section of their political drama; hating on insurance companies.
Health reformers targeting 'enemies'
But Health Care for America Now (HCAN), which is backed by a coalition of labor unions and liberal groups including ACORN and MoveOn.org, organized the protests to target insurance companies and drafted the plan, which describes the demonstrations as part of its "insurance enemies project."
The document, a copy of which was obtained by The Washington Times, details specific talking points, tactics, props and strategies to stage the protests. It lists goals that include action that "mobilizes our base by animating existing anger about private insurers."
The HCAN field plan dictates that each protest will include a minimum of 30 participants, target only health care insurers CIGNA, WellPoint and United Health Care and showcase what it calls "victims," or people who have either lost insurance, can't afford it or were denied coverage because of pre-existing medical conditions.
"We built a campaign to win health care reform and that is exactly what we are working on," said HCAN national spokeswoman Jacki Schechner, who authenticated the documents. But she asserted: "There is nothing top-down about this."
Nah, nothing top-down about this.
HCAN designed the demonstrations set for Tuesday to "help shape new national narrative around the national health care debate" by vilifying insurance companies, according to the field plan.
The strategy aims to sway Capitol Hill lawmakers by making them choose between voting for the president's health care reforms or siding with insurance companies.
Street theater always has to have some good ole pathos (and humor it appears), so bring on the no top-down faux victims and clerics to make demands a stalk insurance company executives.
Tactics listed in the field plan include "large-scale rally or march to insurance company with victims leading delegation in to speak to CEO or other spokesperson." It suggests materials or props including signs, pictures and "good stories that embody our key message."
Under the heading "escalation," the plan advises: "We could start with a delivery to the office and then escalate by bird-dogging the CEO or company by bringing smaller delegations every day to this location or others until we get an answer."
Another tactic described in the document is "vigils featuring faith leaders [or] clergy" who visits insurance company office with the demand. For props, it suggest using "spokespeople who can wear clerical uniforms."
It directs the protesters to "escalate by increasing the involvement of congregations to take small actions; hosting more vigils that invite the insurance companies to repent."
Obama and his buds haven't said anything about all this mixing of religion and government, but it has been heard that Thomas Jefferson reportedly growled, "I wish I never wrote that damned letter."
Now, if Jefferson had stated "a wall of separation" between foreign funded political groups and unions and government, A lot of citizens would get solidly behind that idea.
Unfortunately, Obama ain't Jefferson.

Why Don't Chu Mind Chour Own Damned Businss
It's not enough that we have foisted on us bogus claims of climate change and how we have to "fix" the earth that we have "broken", the EPA now is indoctrinating our children and using our money to do it by carving a carbon foot print the size of Yeti.
Steven Chu: Americans Are Like ‘Teenage Kids’ When It Comes to Energy
“The American public…just like your teenage kids, aren’t acting in a way that they should act,” Dr. Chu said. “The American public has to really understand in their core how important this issue is.” (In that case, the Energy Department has a few renegade teens of its own.)
The administration aims to teach them—literally. The Environmental Protection Agency is focusing on real children. Partnering with the Parent Teacher Organization, the agency earlier this month launched a cross-country tour of 6,000 schools to teach students about climate change and energy efficiency.
I'd love to see a break down on how many administration people and its supporters stand to become "Green Barons" when this crap is finally in place for them.
The hypocrites don't want to talk about money, they just want to rake it in. Just like aL Baby Boom Boom Gore does in his "green" Neverland.
When will Obama and his nitwits get it that we don't want their help or their advice? We just want them to go away and to do so as soon as possible.

I Miss Flippo
Visiting a friend after school one day, I got to watch their TV and saw Flippo. After that my parents got sick of hearing about Flippo, but my mother sat with me one day to watch his show on channel 10, WBNS (Wolf Brothers News and Shoes we joked). I couldn't believe she laughed at some of his jokes, especially the ones I didn't understand. (Later in life I would.)
The next year my parents had a really big birthday party for me at the Athletic Club in Columbus. All of my friends and classmates were there. I cannot remember any present I got or anything else about the party that year except the moment that Flippo walked in.
He joked, played insturments, did magic and knew my name.
He was amazing.
