I am going to see An American Carol this weekend.

Now if you liked Team America: World Police .

What's Good For Baby Caribou Is Good For The Nation

Thu, 2 Oct 2008 06:41:35 -0600

See the baby Caribou

See him rest in the shade.

There is not much shade where he lives.

There is shade under the pipeline

Green Peace does not want the baby Caribou to rest in the shade

BAD Green Peace!

See the Bears

The Bears like to walk on dry warm Pipelines

The Animal Liberation Front thinks they should walk on Cold Wet Ice and Snow

That's not NICE Animal Liberation Front !

See the Snowy Owl

The Snowy Owl likes to Rest on something Dry

It is a LONG way to fly to find something Dry where it lives

PETA does not WANT the Snowy Owl to rest on something Dry

PETA is MEAN!

But what about the Caribou if we Drill in ANWAR you Say?

Do the Caribou look bothered to you?

Guess what? The Caribou Herds in the Alaskan Pipeline Region

Have increased by 5 to 6 times.

They seem to have figured out how to breed around pipelines.

Maybe they are smarter than Green Peace the ALF and PETA?

But but you cry, what about OIL SPILLS?

Well according to the Inuit and Eskimo, oil seeps

out of the ground in those regions during the summer months

But what would they know? They have only lived there for almost 20 thousand year. Folks who have never been there and probably never will know better than they do.

Let's take a look at the area we are talking about.

See Alaska

See Anwar

Anwar is the size of South Carolina

See that TINY red square?

That's the area for drilling.

You would think by all the outrage that there is no land up there beside that.

But that thinking would be wrong.

What Crisis?

Tue, 30 Sep 2008 05:57:27 -0600

What Crisis? There's no Crisis looming.

The mean spirited Republicans just want to scare people,

Because they don't want lower income families being able to afford to own their own homes.

Democrats in their own words Covering up the Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac Scam that caused our Economic Crisis.

At a 2004 hearing see Democrat after Democrat covering up and attacking the regulations to protect Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (their Cash Cows) that are now destroying our economy because the Democrats let them cheat.

And after 4 years have come and gone, after all that was warned has come to pass. It seems everything is still the fault of the Mean spirited Republicans.

If you want to see a perfect example of bi-partisan spirit,

if you wish to see how this country can end division, be unified,

listen and read the words of Speaker of the House Pelosi

This is the prepared text of the speech which House Speaker Nancy Pelosi read on the House floor on Monday, September 29, 2008 concerning the $700 billion bailout proposal from the Bush Administration ahead of the House vote.

Addition to text in actual speech, according to the Chicago Tribune:

"For too long this government, eight years, has followed a right-wing ideology of anything goes, no supervision, no discipline, no regulation."

I was particularly impressed at all the credit Pelosi gave to Franks. Why she was almost as enthusiastic about him, as Maxine Waters was of Frank Raines back in 2004.

If This Is Tuesday

Sun, 28 Sep 2008 21:58:42 -0600

There used to be a joke about European multi-city vacation tours that went something like :

If this is Tuesday, this must be Rome.

Politicians suffer under a similiar burden of confusion.

Joe Biden, for instance must have to check his scheduler to be reminded that

If this is Tuesday, I SUPPORT Clean Coal.

It is much simpler for normal Americans, we have core values and know what we do or do not believe in and those beliefs are not altered by crossing State borders, for instance from Ohio to Pennsylvania.

Campaigning in Pennsylvania coal country on Thursday, the Democratic vice presidential nominee said the government should steer more money to clean coal — a term used to describe a variety of emerging technologies that burn coal for electricity without producing as much pollution.
“I am for clean coal,” he told The Associated Press following a speech in Wilkes-Barre…
The Delaware senator was working a rope line in Maumee, Ohio, on Sept. 17 when a voter asserted that wind and solar energy were “flourishing” in Ohio and then asked Biden why he supported clean coal.
“We’re not supporting clean coal,” Biden replied, putting his hands on the woman’s shoulders. “Guess what? China’s building two every week, two dirty coal plants, and it’s polluting the United States. It’s causing people to die.”

I think the Coal Miner says it all

You Can Fool All Of The People

Sun, 28 Sep 2008 00:02:21 -0600

Abraham Lincoln said: "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time."

There a Lies and there are Lies that transcend to the level of Art,

Recently there has been an excellent example a Lie that contains nothing but the truth. What you will see in the Video was actually spoken, but as you will also see the "meaning" of what was said has been altered by creative editing.

Please View

Rep. Roy Blunt:

McCain stopped the bailout deal

"Clearly, yesterday, his position on that discussion yesterday was one that stopped a deal from finalizing ."

Now that does sound like he (John McCain) jumped right into a Congressional Deal and brought it to a screeching halt and there may be some truth in that. However a 9 second cut, might leave some important

things out so, let us look at a longer and more complete version?

Rep. Roy Blunt

Says Democrats Are Uncooperative On Bailout

Ah there are a few words left out?

"Clearly, yesterday, his position on that discussion yesterday was one that stopped a deal from finalizing
that no House Republican in my view would have been for, which means it wouldn't have probably passed the House. "

I don't know what other's might think, but to me what was left out makes a profound difference,

They say the Best Way to Lie is to Tell the Truth, but Selectively. This appears to be a perfect example of that art.

Obama Outsourcing

Wed, 24 Sep 2008 21:00:46 -0600

Update: Not all the work is being outsourced.

"When they got in touch with the Democrats the party jumped at the chance. And the coins have proved such a hit that locally produced versions have already been launched to compete with the UK originals"

Just caught this on Hot Air

Democrats already minting Obama presidential commemorative coin

Now it refers to this article in a Birmingham Newspaper

Birmingham firm strikes Barack Obama presidential coin

Sep 16 2008 By Tom Scotney, Enterprise Editor

A company in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter is making commemorative coins for American presidential hopeful Barack Obama.

And if the Democratic candidate is elected to become the most powerful man in the world on November 4, it could open the floodgates for millions of pounds worth of business for the firm.

Windsor, Elizabeth & Windsor has already sold more than 300 limited edition commemorative silver coins to the Democratic Party to hand out to key members of the campaign to elect Obama.

The contract is worth about £100,000 to the company, based on Warstone Lane, Hockley.

And a spokesman for WEW said they expected thousands more coins to be bought if Obama becomes president, which could bring millions into the small firm.

WEW is producing limited edition runs of gold, silver and platinum Obama coins, and plans to produce new ones in other finishes for public consumption if the demand emerges.

The coins already sold to the Democrats will be presented to the senators, congressmen, governors and other politicians they are being given to within the next two weeks.

There will also be a television advertising campaign launched in the US.

Now of course there has been a lot of comment that this is premature, but what stuck out to me was this,

The contract is worth about £100,000 to the company, based on Warstone Lane, Hockley.

Yep this Newspaper is NOT in Alabama, it is in Great Britain !

The Obama Campaign is OUTSOURCING this job,

Now this comes right on the heels of a statement by Joe Biden that

We’re not supporting clean coal” and “No coal plants here in America” —

Someone should ask the leadership of the UMW for a statement on that position.

However the Obama campaign and a Biden spokesperson have already done one of this, "We were against it before we supported it now" DNC flipflops we are all so familiar with.

Video: On clean coal, Biden takes bold stand against, um, Obama’s position; Update: McCain launches coalition to protect coal jobs

Boy I tell your what these guys sure stand behind the American Worker don't they?

Maybe Union members should keep their backs up against the Wall when they are around though.

You Raise Me Up So I Can Stand On Mountains

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 04:40:30 -0600

IMO a most moving and beautiful tribute to the People and City of Cedar Rapids.

I received A DVR disc from a young woman who has been working tiredlessly in the rescue and recovery of our City from the recent flood.

She had a concept and a series of photos and had a friend create the disc.

I wanted to put it on Youtube, but alas I do not have the skills.

But I was able to upload all of the files into my website directory and have created a page from which it can be viewed.

I regret that it is necessary to download a 16 Meg EXE file so it will be difficult for those with dialup modems and I do not know how it will play for anyone with that type of connection. Sorry

Cedar Rapids Flood of 2008
