Sex on the Orient Express it wasn't..

And Bill Clinton told us it wasn't sex...
And it certainly wasn't "Virgin."

Other passengers en route from Liverpool to London appear to have sat in embarrassed silence as the 41-year-old woman allegedly committed a sex act on her male partner.

But it got them arrested.

You have to love it.

If only they had been on the way to the airport to catch a Delta flight... After all, Delta did have a motto that said, "Delta is ready when you are!"

Pray for Hussein even if you didn't vote for him??

"We are citizens of the United States," Cordell said. "We need to be praying for him, and his family, that God will be working through them."

Cordell and a number of Nashville ministers say their congregations are obligated to pray for the new president even if they didn't vote for him and even if they don't agree with his political views. That's the message some ministers conveyed to their congregations this past weekend.

Obama's victory troubled many Christian conservatives who fear that the president-elect will pursue a liberal agenda on social issues like abortion and same-sex unions that they believe are unbiblical.

Don't they mean pray to Hussein???

Funning the Lefties aside, I think that is a real dumb comment. If I didn't vote for him, why should I pray for him??

I mean I might pray for the country, or that God convert him to believing in democracy....but for him? Nope.

Besides, it has been my experience that God, having given us free will, doesn't intervene in these matters. Never the less I shall keep a sharp eye out for signs of Hussein's conversion.

Why are you surprised??

BUSH ANGER: OBAMA AIDES LEAK CHAT DETAILS
Tue Nov 11 2008 09:28:10 ET

Just hours after President Bush and President-elect Obama met in the Oval Office of the White House, details of their confidential conversation began leaking out to the press, igniting anger from the president, sources claim.

"Senator Obama would be wise to keep close counsel," a top Bush source warned.

"BUSH AND OBAMA AT ODDS OVER AID FOR AUTO INDUSTRY," splashed the NEW YORK TIMES in an exclusive Monday evening, quoting "people familiar with the discussion."

The two met at the White House in private, without staff.

"Bush indicated at the meeting that he might support some aid and a broader economic stimulus package if Obama and congressional Democrats dropped their opposition to a free-trade agreement with Colombia," claimed the TIMES.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS quickly followed with details of the conversation, citing "aides who described the discussion on grounds of anonymity, citing the private nature of the meeting."

Bush advisers view the leaks as an effort to undermine the president's remaining days in office.

"Senator Obama may not be familiar with a long-standing tradition of presidents holding their private conversations, private," a senior adviser explained to the DRUDGE REPORT.

Developing...

Look, the guy is a piece of trash. His vision is limited to only what will help him, and his experience, such as it is, is Chicago Machine Politics.

Congratulations dear dummies. You are getting a preview of what is to come.

Very Smart British Manufacturers

Grant M sent the following. Seeing as how today is Veterans Day I am passing it on.

WW2 History - Monopoly

Starting in 1941, an increasing number of British airmen found themselves as the involuntary guests of the Third Reich, and the authorities were casting-about for ways and means to facilitate their escape. Now obviously, one of the most helpful aids to that end is a useful and accurate map, one showing not only where-stuff-was, but also showing the locations of 'safe houses', where a POW on-the-loose could go for food and shelter. Paper maps had some real drawbacks:

They make a lot of noise when you open and fold them, they wear-out rapidly, And if they get wet, they turn into mush. Someone in MI-5 got the idea of printing escape maps on silk. It's durable, can be scrunched-up into tiny wads, and unfolded as many times as needed, and makes no noise what-so-ever. At that time, there was only one manufacturer in Great Britain that had perfected the technology of printing on silk, and that was John Waddington, Ltd. When approached by the government, the firm was only too happy to do its bit for the war effort. By pure coincidence, Waddington was also the U.K. Licensee for the popular American board game, Monopoly. As it happened, 'games and pastimes' was a category of item qualified for insertion into 'CARE packages', dispatched by the International Red Cross, to prisoners of war.

Under the strictest of secrecy, in a securely guarded and inaccessible old workshop on the grounds of Waddington's, a group of sworn-to-secrecy employees began mass-producing escape maps, keyed to each region of Germany or Italy where Allied POW camps were located (Red Cross packages were delivered to prisoners in accordance with that same regional system). When processed, these maps could be folded into such tiny dots that they would actually fit inside a Monopoly playing piece. As long as they were at it, the clever workmen at Waddington's also managed to add:

1. A playing token, containing a small magnetic compass,

2. A two-part metal file that could easily be screwed together.

3. Useful amounts of genuine high-denomination German, Italian, and French currency, hidden within the piles of Monopoly money!

British and American air crews were advised, before taking off on their first mission, how to identify a 'rigged' Monopoly set -- by means of a tiny red dot, one cleverly rigged to look like an ordinary printing glitch, located in the corner of the Free Parking square! Of the estimated 35,000 Allied POWS who successfully escaped, an estimated one-third were aided in their flight by the rigged Monopoly sets. Everyone who did so was sworn to secrecy indefinitely, since the British Government might want to use this highly successful ruse in still another, future war.

The story wasn't declassified until 2007, when the surviving craftsmen from Waddington's, as well as the firm itself, were finally honoured in a public ceremony.

Anyway, it's always nice when you can play that "Get Out of Jail Free" card.

Damn clever blokes those Brits. After all, at one time they fathered democracy and ruled the world.

BTW - Ask them how socialism worked out for them.

National Holiday for Obama Topeka Capital Journal

The following is from the Topeka Capital Journal

Yes. That's right. Topeka... and yes Dorthy, that is Kansas, not Gollywood or Berkeley or Marin County or New York City or the Atlanta Journal Constitution.. Real honest to goodness sure enough Kansas...

Plans are being made to promote a national holiday for Barack Obama, who will become the nation's 44th president when he takes the oath of office Jan. 20.

"Yes We Can" planning rallies will be at 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. every Tuesday at the downtown McDonald's restaurant, 1100 Kansas Ave., until Jan. 13. The goals are to secure a national holiday in Obama's honor, to organize celebrations around his inauguration and to celebrate the 200th birthday of President Abraham Lincoln, who was born on Feb. 12 1809.

Have you ever read anything more stupid?

But just to prove that everyone in Kansas isn't smoking what put Dorthy to sleep on the Yellow Brick Road...

Sunny, don't push for a National Holiday...11-4-08 is already going to go down in the history books. What you should be pushing is telling the "THUGS" like Sylk White, Tara Williams, Antone Williams and any other drug dealing, drug smoking & alcoholic drinking to pay attention to their family and take care of their kids.....

But then we get this...

Congratulations, America.

You're officially a cult.

Your "warm fuzzies" over the symbolism of electing this creature will be poor consolation when you're in one his re-education camps or being executed because you're not sufficiently submissive to "Dear Leader."

Read "Prairie Fire," you dolts, to see what you've done.

Do the link trick and read the article, and don't miss the letters..

Hat tip to UrgentAgenda!

Told you so

As you can see, the animals are in desperate straits.

WASHINGTON (Nov. 9) – President-elect Obama plans to use his executive powers to make an immediate impact when he takes office, perhaps reversing Bush administration policies on stem cell research and domestic drilling for oil and natural gas.

John Podesta, Obama's transition chief, said Sunday Obama is reviewing President Bush's executive orders on those issues and others as he works to undo policies enacted during eight years of Republican rule. He said the president can use such orders to move quickly on his own.

That should give you a flavor of what is coming.

And the following should give you a real taste.

On drilling, the federal Bureau of Land Management is opening about 360,000 acres of public land in Utah to oil and gas drilling. Bush administration officials argue that the drilling will not harm sensitive areas; environmentalists oppose it.

"They want to have oil and gas drilling in some of the most sensitive, fragile lands in Utah," Podesta said. "I think that's a mistake."

There is no doubt in my mind the smartest man in the world will block nuclear and off shore drilling as well as, "sensitive areas."

While the Fannie and Freddie mess, made by Barney Franks and Chris Dodd sat the table for our financial woes, it was the cost of oil, and the blocking of drilling for new sources that was the main course.

And the Demos either don't know this or don't give a damn or both.

Tripped Circuit Breakers and the stock market

Good morning chums. As some of you may have noticed I haven't been around for a few days. To be truthful my political circuit breakers tripped and I did a road trip to restore some sanity to my world. After a few days off meeting some old friends and plying my avocation I am recovering nicely.

And may I say the Sheraton shown is a nice place to reset the breakers.

Now there was H's news conference, a glimpse of which on CNN caused me to slip into H shock, and then there was the dilberts of McCain's campaign staff who sought to get back on the media's A list by criticizing Governor Palin that sent me screaming to the hotel's anger management spa, aka bar, but all in all it has been a pleasant experience.

Of course the market went off about 12%, and when The Man With The Greatest Judgement In The World had the chance to give the market some reassurance he failed, waffling on taxes. Which tells he intends to do what everyone with more sense than a June Bug said he will do, raise income and capital gains taxes.

Why? Because he has some promises to keep to his minions, as well as those who intuitively understood that he was a socialist and would give them other's wealth.

And he didn't bother to deny the rumor that the government is going to take your 401k and put into the Social Security pot, supposedly giving you a gracious 3% return.

So the market is suffering from a bad case of the jitters and is being hit by a double whammy. With hundreds of thousands of people out of work, many of them are
having to take money out of their 401k's. If under 55 they will pay a 10% penalty and then ordinary taxes.

Now the government might wave the 10%. That would reduce the amount needed to be removed from the market and decrease the sell pressure. But they won't.

In addition, when people lose their jobs they are no longer paying into a 401k so stock demand is reduced.

And others, fearing that the government will take their 401k are getting out of the program, again reducing demand.

So it isn't over chums. I may be missing the greatest buying opportunity in 50 years but I have taken my wallet out, put it in my front pocket, backed into a corner and squatted down.

Cheers! Time for my anti-depression meds! Now where did I put that Stohly....
