Setting new precedents daily
Look at some of them:
The first black President (of African extraction)
The first President with an unprecedented majority in Congress.
The first President to bow to foreign leaders.
The first openly Socialist President.
The first president to have more unelected, unaccountable and unresponsive Czars than White House staff.
And now, with his new way of reaching out to our historic allies in Great Britain- the fist president to be snubbed at a royal wedding.
Is there anything that boy can't do?
Dear Red Cross-UK
So banning Christmas stuff won't mae them like you ant better.
I can understand them not wanting to start riots (again) over something minor, but some people are even more clueless:
Labour peer Lord Ahmed, one of the country's most prominent Moslem politicians, said: 'It is stupid to think Moslems would be offended.

A fast dialogue from the living room
--Nothing and Sandra Rinomato is on.
"OK",,, as I flop her over onto her left side- on top of Scooter.
"Oh Gawd, hunny....somethings wrong with Meg."
What is?
"I flopped her over on top of Scooter and she's ,,,vacant,,,OOOH- I put her in safe mode."
Hit enter.
I tried, she's just got the vacant look.
Try rebooting her...

Let me quote for you
All bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.
Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States; If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the Objections at large on their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such Reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the Bill, it shall be sent, together with the Objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a Law. But in all such Cases the Votes of both Houses shall be determined by Yeas and Nays, and the Names of the Persons voting for and against the Bill shall be entered on the Journal of each House respectively. If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law.
You see, unlike those power hungry @sswipes in the US Senate- I actually learned that in my social studies class in high school.
So, the Senate decided that being Liberal dems, they didn't need to bother following that old piece of dried skin written by slave owning, rich white men.
I'm looking at you Republicans who didn't call this, too.
You have people who went to school for this. As a matter of fact, they wrote in a part that said that I am supposed to pay for their going to a f*cking expensive school so they could learn that the Ssnate can only VOTE on budget bills.
Stop. Giving. People. Who've. Been. Fired. The keys. To. The. Safe!
In counterpoint to Hanoi Jane Fonda
Viet Nam 1966
Richard, (my husband), never really talked a lot about his time in Viet Nam , other than he had been shot by a sniper. However, he had a rather grainy, 8 x 10 black and white photo he had taken at a USO show of Ann Margret with Bob Hope in the background that was one of his treasures.
A few years ago, Ann Margret was doing a book signing at a local bookstore. Richard wanted to see if he could get her to sign the treasured photo so he arrived at the bookstore at 12 o'clock for the 7:30 signing.
When I got there after work, the line went all the way around the bookstore, circled the parking lot, and disappeared behind a parking garage. Before her appearance, bookstore employees announced that she would sign only her book and no memorabilia would be permitted.
Richard was disappointed, but wanted to show her the photo and let her know how much those shows meant to lonely GI's so far from home.. Ann Margret came out looking as beautiful as ever and, as second in line, it was soon Richard's turn.
He presented the book for her signature and then took out the photo. When he did, there were many shouts from the employees that she would not sign it. Richard said, "I understand. I just wanted her to see it."
She took one look at the photo, tears welled up in her eyes and she said, "This is one of my gentlemen from Viet Nam and I most certainly will sign his photo. I know what these men did for their country and I always have time for 'my gentlemen.''
With that, she pulled Richard across the table and planted a big kiss on him. She then made quite a to-do about the bravery of the young men she met over the years, how much she admired them, and how much she appreciated them. There weren't too many dry eyes among those close enough to hear. She then posed for pictures and acted as if he were the only one there.
Later at dinner, Richard was very quiet. When I asked if he'd like to talk about it, my big, strong husband broke down in tears.. ''That's the first time anyone ever thanked me for my time in the Army,'' he said.
That night was a turning point for him. He walked a little straighter and, for the first time in years, was proud to have been a Vet. I'll never forget Ann Margret for her graciousness and how much that small act of kindness meant to my husband.

Filling out my Sekrit Skwirll papers
Does anyone know how long it takes- or since it won't be rubber stamped because I'm not an Obamanite- how thorough they'll be?
This kind of cr@p is why
They are now, STILL (actually only starting) working on the Federal budget that was mandated to be complete and signed back in OCTOBER. Two months ago.
They had a ,,,umm,,,workable,,, bill that could have worked, but the unhinged Left went apeshit over the fact that the people who create jobs didn't get screwed.
Now there's a bloated bill making it's way through congress full of paybacks, handouts and featherbedding that the same people who got FIRED six weeks ago included in this new bill.
END. THE. LAME. DUCK. CONGRESS.
But all is not lost, we can always watch the fun as we're about to see a no holds barred cage match between the new Republican majority and president Kickazz himself.
"I will be happy to see the Republicans test whether or not I'm itching for a fight on a whole range of issues," Obama said last week. "I suspect they will find I am.
One of those fights will be over the very thing that some Democrats are angry about: The two-year extension of George W. Bush-era tax cuts for the nation's wealthiest Americans.
"When they expire in two years, I will fight to end them," Obama said. "Just as I suspect the Republican Party may fight to end the middle-class tax cuts that I've championed and that they've opposed."
WTF guy? But lying about chit is the only way you know how to communicate.

The difference between Conservatives and Liberals
Oh yeah- they're also more full of impotent rage than Conservatives, too.
Looking at different blogs, you can see the wonderful way a Lib will fly into a rug chewing spit flecked rage at the mere mention of Palin of George W. Bush not being in prison somewhere.
Conservatives on the other hand are more likely to laugh at what the bungler-in-chief is doing at any moment. That's not to say that there aren't times when there is outrage at what he's imposed on America, but not like the screeching monkeys on the Left.
Swords, they'll kill you
A sword-wielding teenager who took several children hostage at a nursery school in France on Monday has been arrested.
The unidentified male, armed with a pair of swords, walked into the Charles Fourier school in Besancon around 8 a.m. local time, French police said.
He had at one point held hostage nearly 20 boys and girls, ages four to six, along with at least one teacher.
Just remember- Swords, they'll f*cking kill you!

Axelrod on Obama
Explaining His new priorities:
'He's still a flaming Liberal- don't let this fool you.'
Actually he said:
“The president is who the president always has been,”
The Glitaratie
I guess that's why we're always seeing her showing them off.
But if you notice, Sarah Palin seems to always wear long sleeves, except when she visits Haiti.
After seeing her in a tee shirt, I'd bet she could handily take Michelle in arm wrestling.
...And Barry, too.
Because the "C" in YMCA
Because traditional values are bad...or something.
The power behind the throne?
That's what the NYT is putting out for the guy who is one heartbeat away from the Oval Office.
Yep, the guy who makes V.P. Dan Quayle look like a scholar is the NYT savior of the Obamacy.
Or, as Mr. Weiner put it in an interview, “Biden brings everything that Rahm Emanuel brings, but the major difference is everyone likes Joe Biden.”
While Mr. Biden has credibility with the Democratic left, his long record in the Senate has enough moments in which he proved willing to work with or give ground to Republicans that they view him as less dogmatic than many other administration officials.
~snip~
Beyond his behind-the-scenes role in negotiating the tax deal with Republicans — a path that Mr. Biden and Mr. Obama decided on in a recent conversation at the White House, aides say — the vice president has also been trying to win Republican votes in the Senate for ratification of the so-called New Start nuclear arms treaty with Russia.
That background for compromise is now being put to use at the White House, from Mr. Biden’s diplomatic mission to try to soothe the angry House Democrats to his secret shuttling between his boss and the Republican Senate leader, Mitch McConnell, to iron out the tax deal.
~snip~
Once the Republicans take over the House and increase their numbers in the Senate in January, Mr. Biden’s role will widen, White House officials said, as Mr. Obama tries to capitalize on the relationships his gregarious vice president built over the course of 36 years in the Senate.
“If he’s going to try to get anything done in a partisan divide, and a divided Senate, Biden is a tremendous asset because he knows the players, the institution, and he has credibility,” said John Podesta, the chief executive of the Center for American Progress, who led Mr. Obama’s transition team after the 2008 election.
Go read the cloying rest if you want, I need to get a shovel for the cr@p that just spilled out of my monitor.

Does anyone remember back about two weeks ago
And that the Big Guy needed a Mini-Me?
Looks like they found their go-to guy for the dirty work while Prezident Kickazz does his fund raising thing.
"I'll take care of the thinking, boy ... go."
We have a job coming open in Fla.
If anyone wants to work for the City of Niceville, it looks like somewhere around Dec.28th.

Just out of curiosity...
Been involved in the process of the involuntary termination of a subordinate worker?
I've been on both sides of that.
Do you know why when that happens- someone is always their watching until you leave the building?
Take a look at what's happening with those Democrats that just got fired six weeks ago.
Maybe we need to change that lame duck thing...you know- so the people we FIRED can't come back and f*ck us with B.S. laws as payback.
I updated you all about Jim Morrison
Once she got used to her new surroundings, she hasn't got her head stuck again- so far.
Her tail...fungus.... is looking like it's starting to clear up, and she's getting a decent diet which is turning her a nice shade of Iguana.
I just put in two more climbing branches and now she's giving them the ol' stinkeye, because they don't belong there.
UPDATE
Apparently higher is better because she's up on the top branch now.
One year ago today

The wheels of justice grind slowly,
In case you didn't know, the Lizard king has been pardoned for ummm...freeing the lizard in Miami 1969.
I sent an e-mail to Senator Hutchison
This is what I just got back from my Senator:
Dear Friend:
Thank you for contacting me regarding airline safety and security. I welcome your thoughts and comments.
Since our nation was attacked on 9/11, we have instituted many effective policies to protect us against the threat of future terrorist attacks. Many of these policies impact the transportation sectors in the U.S., particularly at airports. Unfortunately, these security policies systematically failed with the nearly successful terrorist attack on one of our airliners on Christmas Day 2009 by an Al Qaeda-trained Nigerian terrorist. This disturbing incident, as well as the more recent Yemeni-based cargo terrorism plot, highlights the evolving nature of terrorist threats against our country.
In response to the December 25, 2009 attempted attack, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced plans to enhance passenger screening and detection capabilities, including an increase in the nation-wide deployment of advanced imaging technology (AIT) machines, also known as "body imaging scanners". The AIT produces an image that a screener can use to identify objects or anomalies on the outside of the physical body.
As the Ranking Member of the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, I appreciate the importance of aviation security. On November 17, 2010, the Senate Commerce Committee held a hearing to examine the re-authorization of the TSA. During this hearing, AIT deployment and other changes to the TSA passenger screening procedure dominated the discussion. Specifically, travelers who are uncomfortable passing through the AIT, as well as the very small percentage of travelers who raise an alert from the AIT, must submit to a "pat-down" that some may find to be uncomfortable and invasive.
I believe TSA must continue to develop technology and adapt security measures to meet the ever changing threats to our passenger aviation system. Yet there must be a way to accomplish this goal while addressing the legitimate privacy concerns of the traveling public.
During the hearing, I urged the TSA to take seriously the public's privacy concerns with the screening process. The screening process can only be effective if it serves as a partnership between the screeners and travelers. We must balance security and privacy.
Please be assured that I will continue to do everything in my power to hold security providers accountable. I appreciate hearing from you, and I hope that you will not hesitate to contact me on any issue that is important to you.
Sincerely,
Kay Bailey Hutchison
United States Senator
284 Russell Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510
Do you think anyone bothered to read beyond the TSA concern I had to check?
I'm a little confused on Blue Suns linkage proposal
Because Hsoi linked to me and Blue Sun about it.
But if we're trying to get a gunblogger circle of awesomeness, shouldn't the links only go one way? Because if links were going both ways, they'd like collide- or something and create like, another dimension of fusion weapons- or something like that.
But if all links went the same way, then it would create a vortex of gun blogish awesomeness.

Anything for science...
Basically what he wants to try doing is create a giant Hadron Collider of gunny links that will result in a hole of awesomeness.
I told him it failed two weeks from yesterday because someone left a quarter inch hex nut in there, but we'll run it anyway to see what happens.
Hit the link to get he super collider of linkage going.
That was a near miss
Hi! Are we p1ssed off yet today?
It's pretty much eleven minutes of watching one young mother in a glass cage because the Phoenix TSA was retaliating against her for wanting them to follow their rules.
I wonder how much that fat blond
They made her miss her flight, too.
UPDATE-
And speaking of breast milk, Merry Christmas!
Wouldn't it be Kewl
You heard that NASA thought they found arsenic based life forms and wrote a scientific paper about it, right? It was all over the place (sort of).
Now, after some reading and digesting it, scientists have come out strongly denouncing the flawed science.
Still waiting on that whole climate change thing, though...
Would anyone recognize Kevin Smith?
Well, apparently in his self absorbed world, he's famous for being the "too fat to fly" guy. Because of some incident that he made public lat year with Southwest.
I wouldn't recognize him, or probably even care that he was on my flight if he didn't do something to cause a commotion. which he did by getting to the gate late for a Virgin Air flight.
We pleaded with Manny (the unfriendly face of Virgin America JFK working the gate), pointing out the remaining time (there were still 8 minutes before scheduled departure), and pointing out that the jetway was still attached to the plane. Flying as much as I do (usually up at the front of the plane), I know that the jetway only gets pulled back ONCE THE PLANE DOOR IS SECURELY CLOSED.
Um, yeah dood- they have to CLOSE THE DOOR before moving the ramp.
But why did he get there with EIGHT minutes to spare?
And the next three flights I took, it was the same. Even worse: when you fly first, you board first, sit down... and then EVERYONE files past you. And when you're the Too Fat To Fly guy on a plane? Well, everyone stares. Then the whispering starts. A hundred people look right at you - when you're not on a stage. It kinda blows.
Dude- seriously, if you're on a plane that holds hundreds of people, your first class seat would be separated from the entrance so the great unwashed wouldn't see you.
But instead- Hey, lets wait until everyone has found their seat and stowed their luggage so they don't have anything to do EXCEPT look at a late boarder.
Then be a whiney Lib and cry about it.
