Moderation turned off

I finally figured out how to turn the "moderation" feature off.

So the several of you that complained that you didn't like to wait to see your comments published no longer have to.

Understand that I have no way to edit your comment, so if it contains ojectional words, etc., I can only delete. I am hopeful I will never have to.

Hussein Obama

is an honorable man. And he certainly isn't a Muslim. He only had two fathers who were, and he only went to a school that taught Islam for a few years. His religion now is Trinity United Church of Christ and there are only some biblical passages that he is unsure about. But Hussein Obama is an honorable man, full of good faith and now blessed by the Pope of Kennedy, so full of virture himself. And who can say that him getting 84%of the black vote in Nevada and 80% in South Carolina has anything to do with race? Who would dare to mention that because it brings in race, and no one dares play the race card. For Hussein Obama is an honorable man, and some things dare not be said.

Comes now Rezko, his friend, supporter and next door neighbor. The papers say that this man has many legal problems, but Hussein Obama is an honorable man. When he wanted to buy a house with an adjoining lot he could not afford it, but Hussein Obama is an honorable man so it is mere coincidence that his friend's wife bought the lot allowing Hussein Obama to buy the house, but Hussein Obama is an honorable man.

And who could find that strange? Certainly everyone would want to do things that help such an honorable man.

Now some say that his friend is a slumlord, a species that has been known to prey on poor blacks and whites alike, but Hussein Obama is a honorable man. The government says that his friend obtained his bail money from the Middle East, but Hussein Obama is an honorable man. It is said that a friend of his friend is an Iraqi billionaire who when he was denied a visa to enter the US, his friend asked certain Illinois officals to appeal the State Department's decision. Some have hinted that the Illinois official was Hussein Obama, but surely not, for Hussein is an honorable man.

Update: Some earlier readers may have noticed that I identified Obama's church as United Methodist. I have corrected it. My apologies to anyone who was offended.

It must be the water in......

"If Hitler were still alive and walked through Brattleboro, I think the local police would arrest him for war crimes," Daims said.

Now, who do you think would say the above, and where would you think it would be said?

Kurt Daims, 54, of Brattleboro,(Vermont), the organizer of the petition drive, said Friday the debate to get the issue on the ballot was a good one. Opposition to the vote focused on whether the town had any power to endorse the matter.

"It is an advisory thing," said Daims, a retired prototype machinist and stay-at-home dad of three daughters.

Hey Kurt! Don't wanna pop your bubble, but we have an advisory thing every four years. It is called an "election." Now, your side lost the last 5 out of 7. You have another chance this year, where you will probably lose again because of antics such as this.

And it isn't "an advisory thing."

Brattleboro residents will vote at town meeting on whether President George Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney should be indicted and arrested for war crimes, perjury or obstruction of justice if they ever step foot in Vermont.

That is a "you do this thing." Can you imagine your local police trying to get by the Secret Service? I guess you don't have friends on the local PD. ;-)

And BTW, Kurt. Calling Bush Hitler displays an amazing lack of originality. Every Leftie in the world has been doing that for the past eight years.

Stuff you couldn't make up

Her Majesty’s government is not alone in feeling it’s not always helpful to link Islam and the, ah, various unpleasantnesses with suicide bombers and whatnot. Even in his cowboy Crusader heyday, President Bush liked to cool down the crowd with a lot of religion-of-peace stuff. But the British have now decided that kind of mealy-mouthed “respect” is no longer sufficient. So, henceforth, any terrorism perpetrated by persons of an Islamic persuasion will be designated “anti-Islamic activity” Britain’s home secretary, Jacqui Smith, unveiled the new brand name in a speech a few days ago. “There is nothing Islamic about the wish to terrorize, nothing Islamic about plotting murder, pain and grief,” she told her audience. “Indeed, if anything, these actions are anti-Islamic.”

As an earlier Englishman wrote:

"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in a rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less.

"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean different things."

"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master -- that's all."

That Carroll guy had a way with words.

The sky is falling! The sky is falling!

WASHINGTON (AP) - A large U.S. spy satellite has lost power and could hit the Earth in late February or early March, government officials said Saturday.

Looks like Chicken Little was right.

May I suggest some possible crash sites??

Sunday morning blatherings..

Stallone's latest Rambo movie has opened to bad reviews, but The Big Guy has came to his defense.. The problem is that movie goers are the young and I would guess Limbaugh's demographics are kinda thin at that end... Of course the young don't read movie reviews so the results may be a wash.

In any event I will wait until the DVD is available on Ebay, at which point I will probably bid $7.00 plus $3.00 shipping. Not that I don't like Stallone, mind you, but watching him blow up the evil guys in defense of the "we won't fight" crowd always gets me to thinking.... Why?? All Sly will be doing is killing a few evil guys and in the real world the "we won't fight" guys will try to keep ammo and supplies from getting aboard the ship.... Repeat after me.... There is no cure for stupidity.

Speaking of movie reviews, I haven't read one in years. At one time I would scan one quickly to pick up some info as to what the movie was about. I didn't need any one's blessing to buy a John Wayne ticket. Now my filter is tuned to names. Names that I know are associated with anti-war ravings... That's right. If you insult the country and my intelligence, you won't get my money..............even on Ebay.

Speaking of demographics, it appears that Hussein has won SC with 80% of the black vote. I am sure he will be on TV somewhere this morning warning us all that no one should play the race card.

I still think that Hillary will win the Demo nomination, as does 99% of all the Talk Show meanderings I have picked up. Also notable is the warnings that If You Dont Nominate Who I Want I Will Pick Up My Marbles And Stay Home.

Proving again that it isn't just the "we won't fight" crowd who have a high quotient of stupidity.

Not that they will pay attention, but I would also tell the Right and the Repubs that Bubba is "rope-a-doping" them. The Repubs should remember that Bubba isn't on the ticket, and they should concentrate on Hillary. They should also stop the agonizing over Bill's BJ and perjury. No One Cares. People Lie About Sex To Their Spouses And To Everyone Else.

Question: What do you call a 40 something guy who gets a BJ from a 21 year old sweetie??

Answer: Lucky bastard......

Okay, okay. It's in bad taste. So shoot me..

And have you seen the bumper sticker?

"Monica's ex-boyfriend's wife for President."

The amazing thing to me about the "I won't play" nits, is that even if they don't like John McCain.. even if they don't believe he won't secure the borders as promised in his interview with Shawn Hannity after the NH primary.. Do they think Hillary will??

Enough. Someone has left a door open and I must close it. Global Warming isn't working as well as Algore has promised.

Lists Redux

"About 10 – 12 years ago I was on an airplane going someplace. The book I had with me was bad so I started playing mind “games.” In this case it was trying to remember every hotel/motel that I had ever stayed in. After awhile I took out my trusty portable and made a spreadsheet.

I have kept it up pretty well up to date and this morning I opened it up to add the trip to Pensacola. Now you may think it silly, and I couldn't’t argue with you, but I find scanning the hotels and cities, some with brief notes, great for bringing back memories. As I looked, I noted that there were 707 discrete line entries. Not number of “stays.” Not number of “nights.” Discrete line entries. Given that I had a tendency to stay at the same hotel time and again, and that many were multiple night stays….."

I thought of this last night when I was looking for a Marriott to stay near the OFCNFOEC next month. As I scanned my account I noticed this small message...

It’s been our privilege to serve you for 500 nights.

That's slightly over one and one third years. Figuring a maximum of 4 stays per week, that's 125 weeks which is two years, 5 months and one week. But who's counting?? No wonder I try to turn into every Marriott entrance I drive by.... My subconscious thinks I'm home... But I digress...

What brought all of this back was I couldn't find my reading glasses this morning. I mean those newspapers, in an attempt to save paper, have made the print at least 50% smaller...As I fumbled around I rechecked my shirt pocket and discovered they had magically appeared... Matter transport is a trait of reading glasses that is not well known outside of a select group of citizens...

The last time I observed the disappearance of vision aids was at a Marriott in the US. After a hard days work a bud and I enjoyed a nice dinner at a local bistro and finished off the night at the hotel bar....

When it came time to unpack..... never, never, never unpack in advance. It removes the element of adventure and surprise... Anyway, as he later explained, he discovered that he didn't have the soaking/cleaning solution for his hard contacts... So he just dumped them in a glass put in a little water and laid his weary head upon his pillows..

About three o'clock he woke up suffering from the result of several drinks, and even more wine... which yielded an intense thirst.. He made it to the bathroom, saw the glass... didn't notice the water... added water... drank water and swallowed contact lens. Since he had no back ups and was basically blind, getting him through the airport and home was something to remember...

I ragged him for years, but never told anyone else. He's gone now and I will never reveal his name.

After all, what happens on the road, stays on the road.
