The English have gone bonkers on us

The canary was used for years by miners as an early warning that poison gas was in the air.

This post clearly meets that definition.

Pet shop owner fined £1,000 and told to wear an electronic tag... for selling a GOLDFISH to a boy aged 14

Her offence was to unwittingly sell a goldfish to a 14-year-old boy taking part in a trading standards 'sting'.

snip

Defending the goldfish case, Iain Veitch, head of public protection at Trafford Council, said: 'The evidence presented for this conviction clearly demonstrates that it is irresponsible to sell animals to those who are not old enough to look after them.

'Let this conviction send out a message that we will not tolerate those who cause unnecessary suffering to animals. The council will always try to support pet and business owners so that they are able to care for their animals properly, but where they continually ignore the advice they are given, we will not hesitate to use our statutory powers.'

The goldfish was later adopted

Just sent this to my two Senators

I don’t want to be ugly but:

If any Republican gets involved with any “cap and trade” or “climate change” or whatever it is called….. Or if they get involved with any “immigration reform” or whatever it is called…

….for any reason.

I will stay home next November, or worse, vote for a Democrat.

Why? Because there will be nothing in these two bills that I can agree with.

And the Republican leadership should remember it was the illegal alien amnesty bill that gave the Democrats the majority in 2006.

Simpler put. If the Republicans want to be Democrats then I’ll just get out of the way.

Thank you for understanding.

I just wanted them to know!

Here, find your Senator.

Here, find your Representative.

Dark Avenger is given 1 comment in an attempt to help him understand... an impossible task but I try... I try.

A picture of Obama's White House as Dan Rather thinks of it.


The Dark Avenger has shown up with the following comment regarding my suspension, not banning btw, from commenting on a forum. See the previous post for details.

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "I have been suspended from a newspaper forum..":

You could've made your point without your insulting images.

You have banned people here in the past who haven't posted images to make a point, what's the difference between your website and this forum you've been kicked out of?

DA, you were banned after being told numerous times that your comments were off topic and followed by miles of quotes from Wiki or other sources that had nothing to do with the subject of the post but instead made some other point. I gave this similar statement before:

If I commented that it was a beautiful day and that I thought Obama's energy policy was harming the country you would come back with several hundred words on the fact it was not a beautiful day in California and that this article on Wiki proved it.

Your actions are known as "reframing the debate" as a defense against whatever point the opponent has made.

Comments like that coupled with a few snarks and personal attacks got you banned. If you want to comment on what you want to comment you can always start your own blog. If it will make you feel better you can ban me.

My point was that the terrorist attacks we have had are mostly from radical Muslim Arabs. The camel pic reminds us of that fact. If you find that non PC I remind you that PC at Ft Hood cost us 13 dead.

Time to put childish "feel good" things behind us. Not all Arabs and/or other Muslims are terrorists. But enough terrorists have met that description that we are fools to not not understand that simple fact.

Obamie's pic is spot on. It was part of a post re his healthcare plan (?) that he demonstrated a remarkable ability to lie and put on a show over a patient that his actions were actually harming. That defines the actions of a witch doctor.

The comment made is harsh, but accurate. Editorial cartoons are often harsh.

I might also point out that indians had their medicine men.

That he happens to be black doesn't change that fact. It is an iconic image, just as the images of Bush and Reagan as nut case cowboys were considered iconic because of their background.

Obamie used race to be elected and the media carried his water. He continues to want to do that. The press continues to help him.

Identifying the neighborhood terrorists

WALK NAKED IN AMERICA DAY

Don't forget to mark your calendars.

As you may already know, it is a sin for a Muslim males to see any woman other than his wife naked and if he does, he must commit suicide. So next Saturday at 1 PM Eastern Time, all American women are asked to walk out of their house completely naked to help weed out any neighborhood terrorists.

Circling your block for one hour is recommended for this anti-terrorist effort.

All patriotic men are to position themselves in lawn chairs in front of their houses to demonstrate their support for the women and to prove that they are not Muslim terrorist sympathizers. Since Islam also does not approve of alcohol, a cold 6-pack at your side is further proof of your patriotism.

The American government appreciates your efforts to root out terrorists and applauds your participation in this anti-terrorist activity.

God bless America !

Sounds like a plan to me but I'll admit that seeing some women naked might make any man commit suicide.....

Ok, Ok. I'll also admit that it would work on the flip side.

The IRS decides to audit Grandpa

and summons him to the IRS office.

The IRS auditor was not surprised when Grandpa showed up with his attorney.

The auditor said, 'Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no full-time employment, which you explain by saying that you win money gambling. I'm not sure the IRS finds that believable.'

I'm a great gambler, and I can prove it,' says Grandpa. 'How about a demonstration?'

The auditor thinks for a moment and said, 'Okay. Go ahead.'

Grandpa says, 'I'll bet you a thousand dollars that I can bite my own eye.'

The auditor thinks a moment and says, 'It's a bet.'

Grandpa removes his glass eye and bites it. The auditor's jaw drops.

Grandpa says, 'Now, I'll bet you two thousand dollars that I can bite my other eye.'

Now the auditor can tell Grandpa isn't blind, so he takes the bet

Grandpa removes his dentures and bites his good eye.

The stunned auditor now realizes he has wagered and lost three grand, with Grandpa's attorney as a witness. He starts to get nervous.

'Want to go double or nothing?' Grandpa asks 'I'll bet you six thousand dollars that I can stand on one side of your desk, and pee into that wastebasket on the other side, and never get a drop anywhere in between.'

The auditor, twice burned, is cautious now, but he looks carefully and decides there's no way this old guy could possibly manage that stunt, so he agrees again.

Grandpa stands beside the desk and unzips his pants, but although he strains mightily, he can't make the stream reach the wastebasket on the other side, so he pretty much urinates all over the auditor's desk.

The auditor leaps with joy, realizing that he has just turned a major loss into a huge win.

But Grandpa's own attorney moans and puts his head in his hands.

'Are you okay?' the auditor asks.

'Not really,' says the attorney. 'This morning, when Grandpa told me he'd been summoned for an audit, he bet me twenty-five thousand dollars that he could come in here and piss all over your desk and that you'd be happy about it!'

I keep telling you! Don't Mess with Old People!!

Saudi Arabia promotes radical Muslims in the Balkans

Yeah, yeah, I know. Moderate Muslims can be trusted.... to be radicalized...

SAUDI ARABIA is pouring hundreds of millions of pounds into Islamist groups in the Balkans, some of which spread hatred of the West and recruit fighters for jihad in Afghanistan.

According to officials in Macedonia, Islamic fundamentalism threatens to destabilise the Balkans. Strict Wahhabi and Salafi factions funded by Saudi organisations are clashing with traditionally moderate local Muslim communities.

Fundamentalists have financed the construction of scores of mosques and community centres as well as handing some followers up to £225 a month. They are expected not only to grow beards but also to persuade their wives to wear the niqab, or face veil, a custom virtually unknown in the liberal Islamic tradition of the Balkans.

Government sources in traditionally secular Macedonia (official title the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia), said they were monitoring up to 50 Al-Qaeda volunteers recruited to fight in Afghanistan.

Your phone bill is gonna go up and your pay and benefits are gonna go down

March 26 (Bloomberg) -- AT&T Inc. will book $1 billion in first-quarter costs related to the health-care law signed this week by President Barack Obama, the most of any U.S. company so far.

A change in the tax treatment of Medicare subsidies triggered the non-cash expense, and the company will consider changes to the benefits it offers current and retired workers, Dallas-based AT&T said today in a regulatory filing.

AT&T, the biggest U.S. phone company, joins Caterpillar Inc., AK Steel Holding Corp. and 3M Co. in recording non-cash expenses against earnings as a result of the law. Health-care costs may shave as much as $14 billion from U.S. corporate profits, according to an estimate by benefits consulting firm Towers Watson. AT&T employed about 281,000 people as of the end of January.

Your phone bill will be going up and Caterpillar, AK Steel and 3M will be raising their prices. This will make them less competitive in the export market and impact any one else who does business with them. Although not announced it will do the same thing to Verizon, Alcatel and all other employers.

This means loss of business and loss of jobs.

Thanks Lefties. The country doesn't need jobs but Obamie needed a "legacy."

“Companies like AT&T, that have large employee bases, are going to have higher health-care costs and, therefore, lower earnings unless they can negotiate something or offer less to their employees,” said Chris Larsen, an analyst at Piper Jaffray & Co. in New York, who rates AT&T shares “overweight” and doesn’t own any himself.

AT&T previously received a tax-free benefit from the government to subsidize health-care costs for retirees, who would otherwise be on a Medicare Part D plan. Under the new bill, AT&T will no longer be able to deduct that subsidy.

“As a result of this legislation, including the additional tax burden, AT&T will be evaluating prospective changes to the active and retiree health-care benefits offered by the company,” the carrier said in the filing.


You can expect ATT to dump the retiree plans forcing them into Medicare. Alcatel has already changed their plan and you can expect others to follow. This further degrades Medicare and will force price increases on seniors who can barely survive now.

The active employees will also see their insurance costs go up and/or benefits go down. This is an effective pay cut in disposable income. Something else that the country does not need at this time.

I wonder how many of the Obamabots who voted for him will be smart enough to understand how bad he has just screwed them.

Thanks Obamie. Your care and concern for the country speaks for itself. You should be impeached for the harm caused.

We are a Christian nation

President Barack Obama said in Turkey : "We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values."

I found this very interesting. Do you know the Preamble for your state?


Alabama 1901, Preamble
We the people of the State of Alabama , invoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God, do ordain and establish the following Constitution..
Alaska 1956, Preamble We, the people of Alaska , grateful to God and to those who founded our nation and pioneered this great land.

....and onward for all 50 states.

After reviewing acknowledgments of God from all 50 state constitutions, one is faced with the prospect that maybe, Obama, the ACLU and the out-of-control federal courts are wrong!

But we must not forget that Obama was raised as a Muslim for the first 10 years of his life. That is huge. It also explains his statements here and his disdain for our allies. It also explains his absolute insult to Israel.

Republicans debase themselves

Let them eat cake!



And yes, I know the pic is about 100 years before Marie, but hey! This is a free blog!

It's been an interesting day. I mean the apologies are just flying from the Repub hoodoos and of course the Lefties are happy to have the opposition debasing themselves rather than standing up and saying, "Hey! We're mad as hell and don't expect us to get over it anytime soon!"

"And we'll try and shut down our nutcases if you will just try and keep yours from shooting at our member's offices."

I mean, wouldn't that be the least they can do?

Even the guy who gave money to the (most likely) fake Parkinson's victim has apologized. Brace up, buckoo!

But I will use that apology, as needless as I think it is, and we'll have an Apology Party!

Every blog has a cute cat picture

So I thought you would enjoy a catFISH picture. I think Shawn L sent them to me. If I remember part of the article mentioned that a man's body was found inside....

Gives the word "bait" a whole new meaning...

I need a squirrel's picture that shows them digging up old acorns and nuts. The yard has hundreds of these small holes and I can't come outside without having three or four scatter and head for the trees.

I like squirrels. Oh, I know they are just tree rats and if they decide to take up residency in your attic, well it's a lots worse than bats in the belfry. In fact I use to hunt them with my trusty shotgun and four or five make a tasty meal for breakfast but I'm past that now and I think they know it.

I even let them put me out of the strawberry business. The situation was grim. Blooms, green berries and then no berries. Thinking that the rabbits were to blame up went the chicken wire around the berries... Same results. Blooms, small green berries and then no berries. Finally one early morning as I peered through the mist I observed one climbing up and over the fence to get a berry.

Undaunted by my presence he scrambled back over and out preferring to eat the berry while perched on a deck post. All while watching me with a certain attitude of tail and body position.

I knew when I had lost.

In the meantime Ann Coulter continues to outrage the Lefties. Of course that is an easy thing to do but Ms Coulter does it with such style and sharp tongue that one must admire her efforts.

And of course we are finding that evil Repubs are encouraging the nut cases who have threatened some Demo politicians with grave bodily harm. How do I know?

Well, the Leftie Demos have told me so.

And the Repubs have condemned same while reminding the Demos of the threats against Repub politicians.

Of course the Demos have not condemned and/or acknowledged these threats. But after all, they are Leftie Democrats. Do you expect fairness and kindness?

Silly people.

And the sun today was warmer and the ground drier. I managed to get the upper front picked up and cleaned of its winter treasure of leaves and limbs. Plus the evergreen and azalea beds by the drive are now fertilized, cleaned and re-mulched.

In the process of doing this I killed a small copperhead. About as thick as my middle finger and maybe 8 inches long. I flipped him over while loading mulch from my mulch pile and immediately dispatched him with my shovel. Probably last year's crop but still able to cause some serious problems if he hangs a fang in you.

Ball practice tomorrow if the weather permits. Today the Grandson threw at the hanging target for about an hour despite my warning him about over extending his arm. Perhaps a sore elbow will convince him that old people picked up a bit of knowledge along the way.

On more serious things, Mostly Cajun reminds us that on March 23, 1775, Patrick Henry got a good rant going and finished it up like this.

It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, “Peace! Peace!” — but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!

Mr. Henry said it well, eh?

How we feel

The following comes from Larry P.

I'm tired.

by Robert Hall.

I'm 63. Except for one semester in college when jobs were scarce and a six-month period when I was between jobs, but job-hunting every day, I've worked, hard, since I was 18. Despite some health challenges, I still put in 50-hour weeks, and haven't called in sick in seven or eight years. I make a good salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, there's no retirement in sight, and I'm tired. Very tired.

I'm tired of being told that I have to "spread the wealth" to people who don't have my work ethic. I'm tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to earn it.

I'm tired of being told that I have to pay more taxes to "keep people in their homes." Sure, if they lost their jobs or got sick, I'm willing to help. But if they bought McMansions at three times the price of our paid-off, $250,000 condo, on one-third of my salary, then let the left-wing Congress-critters who passed Fannie and Freddie and the Community Reinvestment Act that created the bubble help them with their own money.

I'm tired of being told how bad America is by left-wing millionaires like Michael Moore, George Soros and Hollywood Entertainers who live in luxury because of the opportunities America offers. In thirty years, if they get their way, the United States will have the economy of Zimbabwe , the freedom of the press of China , the crime and violence of Mexico , the tolerance for Christian people of Iran , and the freedom of speech of Venezuela .

I'm tired of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family "honor"; of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren't "believers"; of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for "adultery"; of Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur'an and Shari'a law tells them to.

I'm tired of being told that "race doesn't matter" in the post-racial world of Obama, when it's all that matters in affirmative action jobs, lower college admission and graduation standards for minorities (harming them the most), government contract set-asides, tolerance for the ghetto culture of violence and fatherless children that hurts minorities more than anyone, and in the appointment of U.S. Senators from Illinois .

I think it's very cool that we have a black president and that a black child is doing her homework at the desk where Lincoln wrote the Emancipation Proclamation. I just wish the black president was Condi Rice, or someone who believes more in freedom and the individual and less arrogantly of an all-knowing government.

I'm tired of a news media that thinks Bush's fundraising and inaugural expenses were obscene, but that think Obama's, at triple the cost, were wonderful; that thinks Bush exercising daily was a waste of presidential time, but Obama exercising is a great example for the public to control weight and stress; that picked over every line of Bush's military records, but never demanded that Kerry release his; that slammed Palin, with two years as governor, for being too inexperienced for VP, but touted Obama with three years as senator as potentially the best president ever. Wonder why people are dropping their subscriptions or switching to Fox News? Get a clue. I didn't vote for Bush in 2000, but the media and Kerry drove me to his camp in 2004.

I'm tired of being told that out of "tolerance for other cultures" we must let Saudi Arabia use our oil money to fund mosques and madrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in America , while no American group is allowed to fund a church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia to teach love and tolerance.

I'm tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to debate. My wife and I live in a two-bedroom apartment and carpool together five miles to our jobs. We also own a three-bedroom condo where our daughter and granddaughter live. Our carbon footprint is about 5% of Al Gore's, and if you're greener than Gore, you're green enough.

I'm tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses while they tried to fight it off? I don't think Gay people choose to be Gay, but I damn sure think druggies chose to take drugs. And I'm tired of harassment from cool people treating me like a freak when I tell them I never tried marijuana.

I'm tired of illegal aliens being called "undocumented workers," especially the ones who aren't working, but are living on welfare or crime. What's next? Calling drug dealers, "Undocumented Pharmacists"? And, no, I'm not against Hispanics. Most of them are Catholic, and it's been a few hundred years since Catholics wanted to kill me for my religion. I'm willing to fast track for citizenship any Hispanic person, who can speak English, doesn't have a criminal record and who is self-supporting without family on welfare, or who serves honorably for three years in our military.... Those are the citizens we need.

I'm tired of latte liberals and journalists, who would never wear the uniform of the Republic themselves, or let their entitlement-handicapped kids near a recruiting station, trashing our military. They and their kids can sit at home, never having to make split-second decisions under life and death circumstances, and bad mouth better people than themselves. Do bad things happen in war? You bet. Do our troops sometimes misbehave? Sure. Does this compare with the atrocities that were the policy of our enemies for the last fifty years and still are? Not even close. So here's the deal. I'll let myself be subjected to all the humiliation and abuse that was heaped on terrorists at Abu Ghraib or Gitmo, and the critics can let themselves be subject to captivity by the Muslims, who tortured and beheaded Daniel Pearl in Pakistan, or the Muslims who tortured and murdered Marine Lt. Col. William Higgins in Lebanon, or the Muslims who ran the blood-spattered Al Qaeda torture rooms our troops found in Iraq, or the Muslims who cut off the heads of schoolgirls in Indonesia, because the girls were Christian. Then we'll compare notes. British and American soldiers are the only troops in history that civilians came to for help and handouts, instead of hiding from in fear.

I'm tired of people telling me that their party has a corner on virtue and the other party has a corner on corruption. Read the papers; bums are bipartisan. And I'm tired of people telling me we need bipartisanship. I live in Illinois , where the "Illinois Combine" of Democrats has worked to loot the public for years. Not to mention the tax cheats in Obama's cabinet.

I'm tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of both parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting caught. I'm tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.

Speaking of poor, I'm tired of hearing people with air-conditioned homes, color TVs and two cars called poor. The majority of Americans didn't have that in 1970, but we didn't know we were "poor." The poverty pimps have to keep changing the definition of poor to keep the dollars flowing.

I'm real tired of people who don't take responsibility for their lives and actions. I'm tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination or big-whatever for their problems.

Yes, I'm damn tired. But I'm also glad to be 63. Because, mostly, I'm not going to have to see the world these people are making. I'm just sorry for my granddaughter.

Anchor cousins in England

For hundreds of years the canary was used by miners as an early detection and warning device of poison gas and other problems. I use it here to highlight problems coming to our country if we don't change our laws.


In the US it is "anchor babies" that have been used to allow illegals to stay in the country. In England it is the arranged marriages between cousins that is often used.

Unfortunately the law of unintended consequences applies. Just as marriages between first cousins in the rural isolated Appalachian hills of the South was a recognized problem in the past, England has re-invented the problem.

UK: Cousin marriages on the rise

A rise in the number of marriages between cousins in Britain has prompted calls for a crackdown on the practice amid warnings it is putting children's health at risk.

Crossbench peer Baroness Deech has called for a 'vigorous' public campaign to deter marriages between family members, which is common in Muslim and immigrant communities.

Her comments come as figures show up to 75 per cent of British Pakistanis in some areas are married to first cousins.

In a speech to be made next week, obtained by The Times, the leading family lawyer will warn that such marriages can be a barrier to the integration of minority communities and increases the risk of birth defects in children.

She is also expected to call for testing for genetic defects when marriages between family members are arranged and for a register of people carrying genetic diseases to be set up in order for two carriers not to be introduced.

snip

Up to three-quarters of Pakistanis in Bradford are married to their first cousins.

The trend is also evident in Birmingham, where figures show that one in ten of all children born to first cousins died in childhood or suffered from a serious genetic disorder.

British Pakistanis, half of whom marry a first cousin, are 13 times more likely to produce children with genetic disorders than the general population, according to Government-sponsored research.

Although British Pakistanis account for three per cent of the births in this country, they are responsible for 33 per cent of the 15 to 20,000 children born each year with genetic defects.

Link

Setting aside the human suffering of the children born with birth defects, the strain created by this problem on an already over extended government health care system is huge and can only grow larger as the immigration policy continues. Simply put, the expanding Muslim population spells the end to England as we knew it.

So you are happy with Obamacare

There is an old truth that I invite you to remember.

"Follow the money."

Watch the stock prices of the drug companies and the insurance companies. Their prices are climbing because they recognize that Obamie has just paid them off. He has created millions of new customers for the insurance companies. He has given the drug companies' years of protection from generic drug competition for their high priced brand name drugs.

You think you can keep your company provided insurance. You can until the company decides that it is cheaper to pay the fine. Then you can purchase your own insurance with your own money. Or go to jail.

You think you can keep your current self provided insurance. You can as long as it meets all of the requirements of the law. Expect 30-40% price increases.

It is called "Chinese Capitalism."

Enjoy what you think you have received. You aren't capable of understanding what has been done to all of us. And that includes you.

Do you know a Tea Bagger?

I don't. I use to know one Tea Bagger. He worked for Lipton and was an expert in bagging Orange Pekoe but he retired to Idaho and passed a few years back.

But I'm not giving up. And maybe you can help. Every time I hear some idiot Leftie speak of Teabaggers I'm going to ask him or her for a name and what company they bag tea for. You can join me. Together I bet we know lots of Lefties.

Inquiring minds want to know.
