Why the chicken crossed the road

SARAH PALIN: The chicken crossed the road because, gosh-darn it, he's a maverick!
BARACK OBAMA: The chicken crossed the road because it was time for change! The chicken wanted change!
JOHN MC CAIN: My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the road.
HILLARY CLINTON: When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to cross the road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure right from Day One that every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn't about me.
GEORGE W. BUSH: We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.
DICK CHENEY: Where's my gun?
COLIN POWELL: Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road.
BILL CLINTON: I did not cross the road with that chicken.
AL GORE: I invented the chicken.
JOHN KERRY: Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.
AL SHARPTON: Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens up in here.
DR. PHIL: The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem on this side of the road before it goes after the problem on the other side of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his current problems before adding new problems.
OPRAH: Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so badly. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a NEW CAR so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.
ANDERSON COOPER, CNN: We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road.
NANCY GRACE: That chicken crossed the road because he's guilty! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.
PAT BUCHANAN: To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.
MARTHA STEWART: No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.
DR. SEUSS: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.
ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die in the rain, alone.
JERRY FALWELL: Because the chicken was gay! Can't you people see the plain truth? That's why they call it the 'other side.' Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the Liberal media whitewashes with seemingly harmless phrases like 'the other side.' That chicken should not be crossing the road. It's as plain and as simple as that.
GRANDPA: In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.
BARBARA WALTERS: Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish it's lifelong dream of crossing the road.
ARISTOTLE: It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.
JOHN LENNON: Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.
BILL GATES: I have just released eChicken2011, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook. Internet Explorer is an integral part of eChicken2011. This new platform is much more stable and will never reboot.
ALBERT EINSTEIN: Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?
COLONEL SANDERS: Did I miss one?

Political Correctness

The Department of Defense and the FBI had enough information about the suspect in the 2009 Fort Hood massacre to have discharged him from the military before he killed 13 DOD employees and wounded 32 others, according to a new bipartisan Senate report.
The report on the Texas army base shooting, authored by Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Joe Lieberman and top Republican Susan Collins, says that both agencies were aware of suspected gunman Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan's radicalization to violent Islamist extremism "but failed both to understand and to act on it."

MSNBC

This is a perfect example of the insanity of Political Correctness.

The same insanity that prevented profiling before 9/11 and was a prime reason that the hijackers succeeded and 3000 people died and billions of dollars were lost and we have been at war ever since.

Yet the Left has barely mentioned Ft Hood and go into spasms when profiling is mentioned.

Obama has lost the Middle East

I haven’t been blogging much. The weather has been mostly miserable and I wait for spring with great anticipation and poker is more fun.

I am played out on stupid things and stupid people. The former being that global warming is causing all the snow and bad weather. The latter being the media and other Useful Idiots letting Pope Algore and other Hoaxers get away with their continual lies.

Yes, lies. And that’s a word that I don’t toss around very often. If some one says something that is untrue then it may be that they just don’t know the truth. But the man made global warming minions have to know better. So they are liars.

As some of you know I hangout over at Talkleft from time to time. I have been watching with great interest how many of the regulars are cheering the unrest in Egypt, demanding that Mubarak leave and let democracy in.

Problem is there is no historical precedent showing that a Islamic country can riot and install “democracy.” I use quotation marks to highlight that democracy to me includes Western culture values like minority rights, gay rights, female rights, religious freedom, etc., etc.

I hope I am wrong but it aint gonna happen. I foresee months of unrest under an interim government and then a collapse into a religious theocracy. That’s what happened in Iran.

This could easily include Yemen, Syria and Jordan. Palestine and Lebanon are already there, or so close you can’t tell the difference.

The Saudi’s will try and get out in front, along with the Emirates and Iraq and you have the United States of Iran.

Forget the Shite vs Sunni BS. Think “An enemy of my enemy is my friend.” The radicals will huddle up, pat each other on the butt, line up and win because there is no one to stop them.

Tough words children, but you elected Hussein as President and he has not disappointed our enemies.

I would mention him not encouraging the protesters in Iran for days and then finally issuing a milk toast plea….. but now almost immediately jumping in to try destabilize Egypt…. but then people will say that I am claiming he is a closet Muslim with radical tendancies.

Well, actions speak louder than words.

The question for 2012 is this.

Obama lost the Middle East. Now what Republican shall we elect to try and repair the damge???

Why gasoline prices are going straight up

In its first action to overturn Bush administration policies on energy, the Obama administration on Wednesday said it will cancel oil drilling leases on more than 130,000 acres near two national parks and other protected areas in Utah

MSNBC

When the above was written gasoline was around $2.00. Since then prices have increased steadily. And while there has been no shortage, the message sent by the above to the speculators is this:

"We, the wacko environmentalists of the Democratic party, are in control and will do nothing to increase supply."

That's a powerful message.

In the meantime, to be the best of my knowledge, nothing has been done to correct the problems defined in the following article, even though it is almost 30 months old.

Regulators had long classified a private Swiss energy conglomerate called Vitol as a trader that primarily helped industrial firms that needed oil to run their businesses.

But when the Commodity Futures Trading Commission examined Vitol's books last month, it found that the firm was in fact more of a speculator, holding oil contracts as a profit-making investment rather than a means of lining up the actual delivery of fuel. Even more surprising to the commodities markets was the massive size of Vitol's portfolio -- at one point in July, the firm held 11 percent of all the oil contracts on the regulated New York Mercantile Exchange.

The discovery revealed how an individual financial player had gained enormous sway over the oil market without the knowledge of regulators. Other CFTC data showed that a significant amount of trading activity was concentrated in the hands of just a few speculators.

WaPost

Now the Democrats have been in power of both houses of Congress for 47 of the past 48 months and the Executive branch for the past 24 months.

Yet they have done nothing. Nothing at all.

And the speculators are again on the move. And the latest unemployment figures show the results.

Why has this happened? Because it suits Obama.

He talks like a moderate and he governs like a radical.
