Some wise advice from The American Thinker..."This whole over-hyped story is completely irrelevant – and it’s irrelevant for precisely the same reason I jettisoned a lifetime affiliation with the Democratic party and became a staunch (indeed, my family would say, fanatic) conservative.
The Clintonistas vaulted to the White House, and stayed there, relying on one pithy, Carville-esque phrase: “It’s the economy, stupid.” Today’s modified message would read “It’s the jihad, stupid.”
While the Democrats may wish to bury themselves in Foley’s underpants, or whatever convenient scandal they can easily find amongst the venal in D.C., I can’t keep my mind off the fact that the Jihadists around the world have repeatedly, loudly, forcefully announced that they are determined to take over the world. Nor do I feel that one can dismiss these as the ravings of lunatics. While it’s doubtful whether they can actually succeed in their quest for world domination, there is no question but that they are trying their hardest to achieve this goal..."
I'll sit this one out until the 1994-type Republicans (you know, the ones that believed in personal freedom and balanced budgets) come back.
ReplyDeleteConflict Resolution at the Polls
ReplyDelete1. Vote
Conflict Resolution after Losing
1. Wear garlic cloves to all
Democratic Victory Parties
2. Cease bathing three days prior to election
3.Eat a sardine sandwich prior to going to local Democratic Victory Party
4. Drink several skunk beers prior.
5. Wear a CPUSA pin on your t-shirt.
6. Be a "close" talker, no more than 4 inches from the Democrat.
Now many o you think these things repugnant, however they are just tips on how to fit right in to the party.
Rule is..if you don't vote you can't bitch...time honored.
ReplyDeletePlus look you can write in anybody, even though the choices are good. But if they aren't on your ballott file a lawsuit immediately and claim myopia governmentis.
and smile..it's all good
Home on the Range
ReplyDeleteHome, home of the strange
Where the queer and the pedophiles play
Where seldom is passed, a law that ain't crap
And the skies are mush-roo-ie all day.
JT chorus
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again
Don't worry, be happy, Habu:
ReplyDeleteTerrorita might well vote against the
"Party of Torture,"
So it's better this way.
Is Ms T in one of those 40 pivotal Districts in the US, doug.
ReplyDeleteGerrymandered politics tends to dilute turnout.
Bet Republican turnout in Ohio is an all time low.
Across the State, not good for for Mr DeWine, to be the only competitive Republican on the ticket. The Republican candidate for Governor does not even have a coat, let alone tails, he's -12% measured by Rasmussen.
Ms Joy Padgett, running for Bob Ney's old seat, biggest advantage in this race is that she is not named "Bob Ney." Her biggest disadvantages are twofold: Ney endorsed her as his chosen replacement, and she also served in the administration of Gov. Bob Taft (R) -- one of the least popular governors in the country. Given those connections it will be tough for Padgett to cast herself as an outsider. (WaPo)
She's down by as much as 9%.
Ms Padgett had, as of 2 Oct, $13,078 cash on hand
Her opponent Zach Space had $206,347 in his account.
If they break in one way or the other before Election Day, we will have a hint of how much trouble both Chabot and Deborah Pryce (in OH 15) are in. District-level polling is particularly dicey, so the Senate contest can serve as a good proxy for how warm Ohio Republicans and Independents feel toward GOP candidates. If Republicans are not coming home to DeWine, and Independents are moving heavily toward Brown, expect similar problems for Chabot and Pryce. (RCP)
So Mr DeWine sinks or swims on his own, taking the rest of the team along, or not, on his coattails,
in getting Republicans to the polls.
Today, Rasmussen has Mr DeWine down by 7% in the most current poll
If that's the case, the Repubs hopes all fall on Mr Talent, in Missouri, to hold a slim Majority?
ReplyDeleteNow that's a load.
I figure Mr Menendez and Mr Allen will both win, but ...
If the Russians had small nukes, and we had a 60 pound nuke and delivery system that live fired at least once, successfully, 40 plus years ago. It stands to reason the NorKs could build one, now.
ReplyDeleteIt's a whole new world, with the "small" Korean blast. Much more so than if they had fired a big boy. Smaller is worse, in so far as the NorKs threat window goes.

ReplyDeleteExactly why a smaller blast is most dangerous, rufus.
ReplyDeleteYou always diminish and disrespect the foe, it's in your nature, even when there is no evidence to support the story line.
The NorK blast Could
1. have been a misfire of a larger device.
2. have been a well designed & built low intensity nuke.
3. have been 100 tons of chickenshit.
With the information available in the public domain any of those options are viable.
Major explosions in Baghdad, breaking news
ReplyDeleteBetter turn on the boob tube
Omar at ItM
ReplyDeleteMassive explosions rock Baghdad!
Over the past 90 minutes or so, massive explosions could be heard in Baghdad and actually I'm hearing more of them while I'm typing.
When the first few bangs happened I thought they were just the usual dose of mortars for the night but more and more explosion kept happening!
I went up to the roof to see if anything could be seen from there and I was able to see several flashes coming from the south, south-west side of the city.
Using the simple method of measuring the lag between seeing the flash and hearing the sound I figured out the explosions are taking place somewhere in the area between Karrada and Dora, yet the explosions are very loud that they can be heard in the northern parts of Baghdad!
I'm searching the news for a clue about what's going on but I found nothing so far.
Update(12:35 am):
First news report on the situation is just in.
Reuters says the explosions were caused by a fire that broke out at "an ammunition dump at a U.S. base in southern Baghdad" apparently in the Dora district of Baghdad.
And yes, explosions can still be heard as of now.

AMMO DUMP
ReplyDeleteArticle 64-b9sec-iii) of the AMMO DEPOT ACT of 2003 was recently updated.
64-b9sec-iii was updated to include all areas adjacent to churches,schools, and on base golf courses.
It specifically states that no person or persons are authorized to detonate any ordinance,ammo, or nuclear supply area within 200 yards of the above described.
The punishment for performing said act is dependent on "measured force reponse requirements" as outlined by
UCMJ-987(sec-r-07).

BEFORE LONESOME DOVE
ReplyDeleteOn the bank of the river
Stood Running Bear
Young Indian brave
On the other side of the river
Stood his lovely Indian maid
Little White Dove was her name
Such a lovely sight to see
But their tribes fought with each other
So their love could never be
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love big as the sky
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love that couldn't die
He couldn't swim the raging river
'Cause the river was too wide
He couldn't reach the Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight he could see her
Throwing kisses 'cross the waves
Her little heart was beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love big as the sky
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love that couldn't die
Running Bear dove in the water
Little White Dove did the same
And they swam out to each other
Through the swirling stream they came
As their hands touched and their lips met
The raging river pulled them down
Now they'll always be together
In their happy hunting ground
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love big as the sky
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love that couldn't die
...Down the rivers, o'er the prairies,
ReplyDeleteCame the warriors of the nations,
Came the Delawares and Mohawks,
Came the Choctaws and Camanches,
Came the Shoshonies and Blackfeet,
Came the Pawnees and Omahas,
Came the Mandans and Dacotahs,
Came the Hurons and Ojibways,
All the warriors drawn together
By the signal of the Peace-Pipe,
To the Mountains of the Prairie,
To the great Red Pipe-stone Quarry,
And they stood there on the meadow,
With their weapons and their war-gear,
Painted like the leaves of Autumn,
Painted like the sky of morning,
Wildly glaring at each other;
In their faces stem defiance,
In their hearts the feuds of ages,
The hereditary hatred,
The ancestral thirst of vengeance.
Gitche Manito, the mighty,
The creator of the nations,
Looked upon them with compassion,
With paternal love and pity;
Looked upon their wrath and wrangling
But as quarrels among children,
But as feuds and fights of children!
Over them he stretched his right hand,
To subdue their stubborn natures,
To allay their thirst and fever,
By the shadow of his right hand;
Spake to them with voice majestic.
As the sound of far-off waters,
Falling into deep abysses,
Warning, chiding, spake in this wise:
"O my children! my poor children!
Listen to the words of wisdom,
Listen to the words of warning,
From the lips of the Great Spirit,
From the Master of Life, who made you!
"I have given you lands to hunt in,
I have given you streams to fish in,
I have given you bear and bison,
I have given you roe and reindeer,
I have given you brant and beaver,
Filled the marshes full of wild-fowl,
Filled the rivers full of fishes:
Why then are you not contented?
Why then will you hunt each other?
"I am weary of your quarrels,
Weary of your wars and bloodshed,
Weary of your prayers for vengeance,
Of your wranglings and dissensions;
All your strength is in your union,
All your danger is in discord;
Therefore be at peace henceforward,
And as brothers live together.
("Hiawatha" excerpt, from when we Americans were all Longfellows)
