Think they’ve given up? Think again
Seriously are they F***ing kidding. Did someone not get the damn memo. This shit has been and continues to be a f**king scam. A big ass money making screw the people scam.
More Spending, more government jobs, how will we pay for every “good idea fairy proposal”?
More hope and change I see.
With all the bad press Mel gets it’s good to know his movies are still worth seeing. I went today to see Edge and was surprised at how good it was. I really didn’t expect too much maybe a standard action shoot em up but instead got a pretty good thriller. Oh it’s not Oscar stuff but entertaining and interesting.
I found the name of the Clean up man very interesting, Jedburgh. Look that name up if your interested in military and special operations (OSS) history
My rating four out of five stars. Or, yeah I’d see it again.
For a Super bowl this was a pretty good game. The point spread was never very far apart. Now I’m not a Colts or Saints fan but since global warming caused yet another round of snow here I really had little else to do. So with a bowl of chips, salsa and a beer I watched the game unfold. I liked both quarterbacks (wish my Oakland Raiders could find someone like either of these guys).
The Colts took the lead and seemed to hold the Saints defense in check the first quarter. The second quarter the saints started their comeback. I was glad to see the fourth down attempt near the end of the half. Settling for three I figured the Saints weren’t too far behind. Then surprisingly they made a third quarter onside kick and recovered the ball. Talk about adding excitement to the game. From there on out they seemed to have the edge.
In the fourth quarter with time dwindling down and the colts on the march the win was pretty much sealed when Manning threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown. This put them more than a touchdown behind and there just wasn’t enough time to make up the deficit.
One of the things I noticed was the lack of penalties. This was a pretty good game on that score also. While there were a couple key yellow flags there weren’t that many. Also Saints kicker Garrett Hartley just couldn’t miss making 3 field goals of 40+ yards each.
And of course Drew Brees was on all night and tied the Super bowl completion record with 32.
The colts played well and frankly I figured they would tie the game in the fourth and it would go into overtime but luck wasn’t on their side.
The only downside for me is that I think all Super bowls should be held in the snow.. just saying…
Best comercial for me: Doritos Kid: Don’t touch my mama , don’t touch my doritos…
Oh come on, this is just funny…
Ok first off I like Sarah Palin, but just as I don’t agree with political correctness on the left I can’t agree with this either.
Look there are a lot of reasons I’d love to see Rahm go but this isn’t one.
Neo-Pagans Get Worship Circle at Air Force Academy
Humm I’m not sure what to think of this report. Pegans don’t really bother me so I suppose it’s ok. I’ll have to think on this one a while. I guess my concern is catering to every special interest group. Are there really that many Wiccans and Pagans running around in the Air Force? Another interesting question.
Ummm what do you say about this report.
Afghan Men Struggle With Sexual Identity, Study Finds
…In one instance, a group of local male interpreters had contracted gonorrhea anally but refused to believe they could have contracted it sexually — “because they were not homosexuals.”
Apparently, according to the report, Pashtun men interpret the Islamic prohibition on homosexuality to mean they cannot “love” another man — but that doesn’t mean they can’t use men for “sexual gratification.”
The group of interpreters who had contracted gonorrhea joked in the camp that they actually got the disease by “mixing green and black tea.” But since they refused to heed the medics’ warnings, many of them re-contracted the disease after receiving treatment.
The U.S. army medic also told members of the research unit that she and her colleagues had to explain to a local man how to get his wife pregnant.
The report said: “When it was explained to him what was necessary, he reacted with disgust and asked, ‘How could one feel desire to be with a woman, who God has made unclean, when one could be with a man, who is clean? Surely this must be wrong.’”….
In my experience in Afghanistan this seemed to be a fairly common reaction. I don’t think it’s the mentality of all in Afghanistan but is pretty wide spread. This only shows how hard the work for our troops is there. When basic biology has to be explained ( and isn’t believed) how to you teach liberty, democracy or common sense idea that will raise their standard of living? How do you teach them that killing themselves isn’t productive when they believe women are unclean. Now if they would have said that asking for sex from women was just too big of a pain in the A**, wait bad use of words there, pain in the neck than I would understand.
Note: I don’t’ care who or even what people have sex with. But the basic knowledge issue perpetuated by the strange use of religion in Afghanistan and many other places is partly what keeps these places in poverty and perpetual warfare.
Osama Bin Laden has made his harshest critique of the US to date. In his latest audio release Osama says the way to stop climate change is to boycott goods from the United States.
This is it? This is what the leader of the largest manhunt in US and possibly global history has come to. Wow.
Even Geraldo Rivera stated this proves we are winning the war on terror.
I must say though that global warming is an issue since it’s seems to be creating lots of snow storms and cold temperatures. Folks Afghan and Pakistani caves get freaking cold in the winter. I bet Osama is praying that Al Gore doesn’t hold a conference anywhere near A-Stan.
No one can say that President Obama wasn’t aggressive in his first year in office. But was he effective? In what looks like a long string of broken promises and misguided priorities this administration has left us in worse shape than when they started one year later.
Healthcare may not be passed due to a number of reasons. One reason is that after the huge stimulus that has not created the jobs we needed Congress came up with a massive bill that no one can read let alone understand. If the healthcare bill had been scaled down to less than a hundred pages and written in plain English it would have had much less opposition. At this time the American people simply don’t trust Congress or any administration to do the right thing and a bill that is too large or confusing to understand is seen as bad.
Had healthcare been done in smaller chunks with bi-partisan support we would have seen multiple bills that the public could read, understand and likely support or at least make positive suggestions. Everyone see’s problems with the current system but what we all can’t see is how this gigantic bill helps. It appears to raise the price of healthcare for us all and increase the national debt. This might be acceptable if it was in the open and explained but that hasn’t happened.
So far transparency has been a bit opaque.
Scott Browns win in Massachusetts is certainly interesting. Was it a referendum on Obamacare? I don’t know. Watching Martha Coakley, it’s possible she was simply a very bad candidate. She seemed to have a tin ear to the electorate or more correctly didn’t seem to care what the electorate thought. I do hope this was a referendum and that it catches on across this nation.
I haven’t really been watching all this as closely as I’d like. Retirement issues have been more pressing for me. Catching the news in spurts it has been encouraging. Now if we could just replace oh ….. ninety percent of both the House and Senate…….
