Unbelievers and what to do about them.

A classmate has sent me an email in which a person named Kathy Griffin made some outlandish comments and my classmate noted that she would not support/view, etc., events in which she appeared.

To be honest I had never heard of Kathy Griffin, but her comments piqued my interest on several levels, so I Googled her up and found this:

LOS ANGELES — Before Kathy Griffin won a creative arts Emmy last weekend for her reality show….

In her speech, Griffin said that "a lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this award. I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus." She went on to hold up her Emmy, make an off-color remark about Christ and proclaim, "This award is my god now!"

It always intrigues me when someone who obviously depends on the public for whatever successes that may enjoy does something any intelligent person would know would anger a large chunk of that public.

Now if you assume that Ms Griffin is not dumber than a door knob then you come to two conclusions.

A. She doesn’t care because you are wrong and she really is dumb.

B. She doesn’t care because she knows that such statements will actually help her career among those who watch her show.

I pick door “B.” Simply put there are a large number of people in this country who are ignorant as to what Christianity is all about, and what Christianity has accomplished. To them nasty comments about Christianity is proof of the commentators’ sophisticated view of the world and her disdain of the dummies who get up, go to work every day and try to maintain a small amount of decorum and respect in the world. Her fans are the rightful heirs to the “Barbarians at the Gate” that destroyed Rome and launched the world into the Dark Ages. Without them Ms. Griffin would not exist in her present state.

So I do not blame her, I place the blame on those who created and sustained her. The answer is just as my classmate said. Don’t watch. Don’t buy. Flip the channel. The marketplace is the answer.

As to her statements, someone should sit her down and explain to her that she can say such things because our country is unique in the world because our rights are God given, not by man. Without that belief then our rights are not protected, and depend on man rather than God. Such beliefs have universally proved to be founded on sand and wash away at the first sign of flood.

As to the correctness of her statements, time will give her a clearer understanding.

Can you figure this out??

Delegates at a US-Islamic forum voiced support on Monday for US presidential hopeful Barack Obama,

Where else did they have to go?

Hillary is a female, so she's out.

McCain sang.. "Bomb bomb bomb... bomb bomb Iran...well, that kind of blows him out of the picture

And then we have the name... Barack Hussien Obama.

Who do you think would win?

Pope Algore continues to withhold

the blessings of his Global Warming and this morning is frosty despite my driving my truck an insane amount over the weekend. Perhaps the evil GW doubters have secretly found a way to thwart the effects of the nasty carbon dioxide.

More likely, of course, is that the sun continues on its natural cycle of reduced output. But don’t tell the UN officials in charge of wasting our money or the Weather Channel lady. The former have no idea of what is going on and the latter knows everything, but has no idea of what is causing it.

On the national front we are told that the Jimmy Carter’s National Security Advisor, Zbig Brzezinski did not visit Israel as advertised, but instead returned to the US. No reason is known, but some think he was recalled by Hussein when he decided that he should wait until he is President before asking Israel to surrender to Syria.

If so that was a wise move. Israel’s answer will most likely be unprintable. Now and then.

In news of no particular importance we find that the NBA’s team in Seattle is making news by threatening to move to Oklahoma City if the citizens don’t build them a suitable home. The citizens, to my surprise, are saying, “No, and have a nice trip.”

I say “to my surprise” because, when I lived there in the mid eighties, I found the locals to be tough, level headed hard working people. But in recent years it appeared that enough Californians had moved in to dilute the commonsense factor to a very low level. Perhaps the price reductions of $1,000,000 homes to $900,000 homes has seized their attention.

As to the good people of Oklahoma City, that hand you feel on your wallet has a basketball in the other.

It doesn't get any better than this

But you have to ask what the heck was the City Fathers of Reno doing.

Bump and Update.

A lady from Canada commented the following regarding my post, “It doesn’t get any better than this.” I think it is so good that I decided to post it. She writes:

I saw that video on another blog. I did not comment. I'm not even sure I have the right to comment because we don't have this problem here. In my mind my question was: do you need a citizen-vigilante to correct the situation? Can't you call City Hall, notify the authorities, let the proper people do the job? Would it be done if you try it that way?

To get the disagreement up front and out of the way, yes Canada has this problem. The difference is that it is not yet seen by many Canadians. As your larger cities develop neighborhoods, as in England, Holland, Germany, France and others that become de facto enclaves where Sharia law is allowed to control they will see the light. The flag will be different and the results worse.

And do you have a right to comment? Absolutely. We Americans can not claim to be for free speech and then deny others. For better or worse, it is always important to see yourself as others see you.

As to, do we need citizen-vigilante, the answer is obviously yes. City Hall saw the same news that he did, and did nothing. They did nothing because politicians are basically afraid of everything. If they dispatched the police they would lose votes. First from the Hispanic community, then from the fuzzy heads who claim that we need no borders and finally from the Left wingers who, for whatever reason, hate this country. And since so few citizens vote, the loss of a few votes could cost them their jobs.

So while they dithered and blathered, this one man acted. He acted reasonably, calmly and with no threats and no harm to others.

On station

I once saw a video of a religious event in which people spoke in tongues and handled snakes. Now we have members of the Church of Hussein fainting, as shown on this video.

Video

So far it appears to be limited to the fairer sex, but who knows when the boys will start collapsing from the strain of holding up all those “Change” signs and start taking a one up in the mux.

Actually fainting is not all that hard to do. Simply stand up and lock your knees. In about 60 seconds the loss of blood/oxygen to the brain will result in an effective and undeniable faint. Of course the question becomes, will it hurt you?? Well, given that loss of blood/oxygen to the brain does no one any good, I don’t recommend it. But given that these are Hussein supporters, who knows?? You have to assume a certain amount of gray matter to assume damage.

Some have started questioning if these faints are staged.

I have no answer to such questions, but based on the screams and shouts, I would guess that the answer to:

“Will you lay down for Obama?”

would be “yes!”

And I wonder… I have a friend who confessed to attending some demonstrations during the 60’s. When I chided him the truth, or at least an acceptable excuse, came out.

It was a great place to meet girls, he noted.

Preflight

The influence of Pope Algore continues as the outside temperature is a balmy 43 degrees. The consumer of my dollars, aka the central heating systems, have not clicked on for at least 30 minutes and the dog hasn’t brought me her sweater.

Smart dog, although I suspect she is a Hussein Democrat. And why not? She has no knowledge of the economic system that provides her dog food, growls and barks at the German Shepard that patrols the yard and tries very hard to be friendly with her enemy, the cat.

The cat displays great disdain for her, except for when he wants something. He will then walk over and stretch out near her. She will immediately run around in circles barking in joy. Yes, there is no doubt. She is a Jimmy Carter Democratic. Ooops, I meant a Hussein Democrat. My apologies to all, but please grant me that it is hard to tell the difference.

In international affairs, it is not known if Hussein’s delegates to the Syrian dictator and Hizbollah supporter will return for a requiem visit regarding the killing of Imad Mughniyeh, the Hizbollah terror master, or if sufficient groveling was accomplished during the visit this week. I am waiting to see if Hussein’s web site establishes a contribution link to help defray Imad's funeral costs.

The house dog will remain in mourning for a fortnight. The German Shepard has displayed a fair amount of happiness. I must caution him that unseemly acts regarding the fate of our enemies are not permited. After all, can't we all just get along?

In environmental news, the AP touts more nonsense regarding 1 meter sea rises and ocean pollution. This is a new high, given that it is a double dip of disaster.

In the meantime, no explanation is forthcoming from the United Nations panels on scare mongering on what caused the Little Ice Age, much less the last real one. I read somewhere that there has been no increase in global temps for three years. I remain hopeful that we are not preparing for the wrong disaster.

On to more important things.

To those who see the Lady Vols loss by 16 points to the Lady Tigers of LSU after leading by 19 points early on as retribution of biblical proportions for their one point win over Rutgers, arguably helped by the officials, I can only say that I do not have a better reason.

And I suspect neither does Coach Summit.

As to the bad call at the end of the Rutgers game, and all the whining that has ensued, I would only note that if you can show me that there were no other bad/no calls then I will accept your complaints.

The foul was called because it was a “hard foul,” not a ticky tacky push or reach in. The referee’s timing may have been bad, but the message was simple. No such nonsense at the end of a game. This is the US and not a soccer stadium in Europe or England.

Bad/No calls in sports happen, just as they do in life. All the gadgets and science can’t stop them. Hopefully they even out. At least in sports. It is, after all, just a game.
