Any of you people who have sent money to the Susan G. Komen Foundation, do you think you would have a problem if they used a sledge hammer to stop other charities from using a phrase or color?
Apparently, the Komen Foundation is using your money to hire high powered and expensive lawyers to go after mom and pop cancer charities.
Got a little charity that you're trying to raise money to help...and use the entire amount without that Komen overhead?
Don't mention the word CURE or think of using pink because those greedy bureaucrats at The Komen Foundation will come after you like Fred Phelps people at a funeral.
So far, Komen has identified and filed legal trademark oppositions against more than a hundred of these Mom and Pop charities, including Kites for a Cure, Par for The Cure, Surfing for a Cure and Cupcakes for a Cure--and many of the organizations are too small and underfunded to hold their ground.
"It happened to my family," said Roxanne Donovan, whose sister runs Kites for a Cure, a family kite-flying event that raises money for lung cancer research. "They came after us ferociously with a big law firm. They said they own 'cure' in a name and we had to stop using it, even though we were raising money for an entirely different cause."
Donovan's sister, Mary Ann Tighe, said the Komen foundation sent her a letter asking her to stop using the phrase "for a cure" in their title and to never use the color pink in conjunction with their fundraising.
Lets see if we can find a cure for greedy foundations.
Boycott pink!

Unsurprisingly, her party is not mentioned
Because every Democrat knows how to make a killing of of something they don't know about.
And just because you're an unaffiliated mayor of a small town doesn't mean that you have to think small.

Computer PSA
If you get a new computer and think it's strong enough for the new AdAware anti-spyware 10.1 download- believe me, it's not.
i was having problems all weekend with page load errors that the cable company and tech support couldn't fix.
As soon as I finished the back-to-factory restore, everything worked fine.
As soon as I downloaded AdAware 10, it started f*cking up again.
So,,,next to MalwareBytes, any suggestions for trapping spyware cookies?
UPDATE:
Thanks Norton Utilities for letting that Trojan in- now I remember why I usually install something that works right away.
BTW- is there any way to disable that annoying log-in password protection?

When I was younger
When I was a kid, I remember watching something with my dad.
It was so far back that NBC wasn't automatically pulling for our enemies.
So, I think I'll try to bring back some of those old days, starting with episode 1 and going right through until it was colorized.
Go refill your soda glass
More popcorn

Too smart for their own good
The replacement computer a brand new Wally-world E-machine is still having a hard time using the intertubez.
We have the newest version of VISTA(also known as Windoze 7) and it just hangs and throws out site taking to long messages. The e-machine tech (Peggy) tried helping me, but it looks like it's a broadband fix that'll have to wait till the geeks are back in the office tomorrow.
Otherwize I hope everyone survived and id ready to put these next 364 days to good use getting all 57 states back to work.

Happy New Year, Israel
Yesterday we find out that Israel has discovered a HUGE natural gas field just off their coastline.
0bama expected to declare a moratorium on drilling in the eastern Med as soon as he gets back to DeeCee.

I must have missed that
Can Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) tell me when and where the Republicans used the codewords for Flagrent malfeasance in their new majority term?
“Allowing incoming Chairman Ryan to have unilateral power to set spending limits — instead of subjecting those limits to a vote on the floor of the House — flies in the face of promises by House Republicans to have the most transparent and honest Congress in history,”
Oh, and the Communists are pissed that the Republicans are actually going to do something to control the debt.
A proposed House rule granting new powers to the GOP chairman of the Budget Committee has sparked outrage from Democrats.
The proposed rule would allow the Budget Committee chairman to set spending ceilings for 2011 without a vote by the full House. By approving the rules package, the House would give authority to the new Budget panel chairman to set budget ceilings at a later time and his decision would not be subject to an up-or-down vote on the floor.
In practice, this would give power to Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), the incoming chairman of the panel, to impose deep spending cuts since spending bills cannot exceed the budget ceiling for the 2011 fiscal year.
So naturally they're ready to hand out pitchforks and torches to all the snowplow drivers that took time off from their jobs in NYC- to protest...or something. Because the Union would rather have people gie than their thugs loose any money.
But anyway, RTHT because it's nice to see the Republicans finally hitting back.

In which proves again
That Liberalism is all about controlling others.
The U.K.s Daily Mail has a story about the oldest and most well known Liberal organization in America.
‘Every Friday morning we had to go to Hef’s room, wait while he picked up all the dog poo off the carpet — and then ask for our allowance: a thousand dollars counted out in crisp hundred-dollar bills from a safe in one of his bookcases,’ she says.
‘We all hated this process. Hef would always use the occasion to bring up anything he wasn’t happy about in the relationship. Most of the complaints were about the lack of harmony among the girlfriends — or your lack of sexual participation in the “parties” he held in his bedroom.
‘If we’d been out of town for any reason and missed one of the official “going out” nights [When Hefner liked to parade his girls at nightclubs] he wouldn’t want to give us the allowance. He used it as a weapon.’
The allowance was also withdrawn if there was any infringement of the strict rules imposed by Hefner on all his girlfriends.
~snip~
She has since described how his staff noted every time one of the girls left or arrived back at the Mansion. Hefner would pore over the logs every morning, which, Wilkinson said, drove her ‘insane’.
‘It was way more strict than my parents had ever been,’ she says
And just how unappealing it is when you look under the pretty glitter.
For Izabella, the Playboy Mansion was far from the glamorous pleasure palace she had imagined. ‘Each bedroom had mismatched, random pieces of furniture,’ she recalls in her autobiography Bunny Tales. ‘It was as if someone had gone to a charity shop and bought the basics for each room.
‘Although we all did our best to decorate our rooms and make them homely, the mattresses on our beds were disgusting — old, worn and stained. The sheets were past their best, too.
~snip~
Everything in the Mansion felt old and stale, and Archie the house dog would regularly relieve himself on the hallway curtains, adding a powerful whiff of urine to the general scent of decay.’
The Playboy mansion, the perfect example of Liberalism.

You know those new Obamcare commercials on TV?
The one that tells you where to find out all those marvelous new benefits you're eligible for?
They're saying that under the right circumstances, Medicare will pay up to 50% of the cost.
Thanks guys, but I'd rather have my OWN insurance where my co-pay is a max of $25.

Dude, really!
You can't come up with a better excuse for Prezident Kickazz to extend his Hawaiian golfing vacation again?
Obama spokesman Bill Burton says the president is trying to squeeze in more time with his family before returning to the nation's capital.
I mean- doesn't he work from home?
At least W fixed up his ranch while you Lefties were complaining about how many times he was away from DeeCee.

Someone just went on "The Won's" enemies list
If you don't want to hear "Paint it black" forward to about 1:36 and listen to what R. Lee has to say about the economy...
Gee, I don't know why they'd think that
I mean, really- who would ever think the Union would hold hostage the people who pay their salaries by not doing what they're supposed to do?
It's not like we've ever hared of the teachers waiting until school starts to strike for even MORE money and benefits.
Or the police union threatening to strike when they know there's unrest in their city.
So why would anyone even think- in the growing financial problems of NYC- that the unions would have a work slowdown?
It's not like they'll get fired no matter what they do, or don't- including f*cking someones SUV up because they're incompetent (and yes I DO know how to operate a front end loader)
BUT not to worry because Mayor Mike is also angry about his city's (lack of) response to the taxpayers who are still snowed in. But come January 10th, they'll have a City Council meeting to try to find out why a Liberal city with a Liberal Mayor and slothful, overpaid Unions are so f*cked up when it comes to emergencies.

This is what happens when you mix
Godless communists and religion.
There's a piece in Politico where they keep repeating the wrong idea from Genesis 4:9.
“He presents his Christianity as an important aspect of his identity but one he doesn’t want to foist upon anyone else, and he would rather risk downplaying it than offending somebody,” said Jeffrey Siker, a theology professor at Loyola Marymount University, who has studied Obama’s use of the Bible in his speeches.
“One recurring phrase — and I’ve noticed this frequently of late — this notion that we are our brothers’ keepers, which is kind of a mantra for him,” Siker added, noting that Obama “would see the notion of being our brother’s keeper as something that crosses all religious lines.”
And they keep harping on how much of a Christian the guy who spent 20 years in a Black Power church, but can't remember any of it.
Anyway those Godless commies keep reminding us of how their Chicago Jeezus is quoting the bible when talking about being his brothers keeper.
Because even though I'm a lapsed Christian, I know that wasn't a good thing.
If any of you Libs are wanting to know what that whole "Brothers keeper" thing is all about that you think sounds cool...
Genesis 4:9 (New International Version, ©2010)
9 Then the LORD said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?”
“I don’t know,” he replied. “Am I my brother’s keeper?”
.....In case you're not up on the story, that's a conversation with Cain right after he killed his brother, Able with a rock.
You see, he would have used a GUN- but they weren't invented yet.........

Over at Powerline
Paul has a post up about Bush becoming more popular as time goes on.
He mentions the fact that his new book sold almost as many in the two months it's been out as Bill Clinton's has in the six years that it's been out.
Paul also mentioned the contrasts between Bush's inclusiveness and Obamas partisan narcissism.
One thing he didn't mention in the rising of Bush's popularity is the simple fact that the MSM isn't demonizing him daily- like it was for eight straight years,

I'm curious to know
where this Diversity Committee of the Society of Professional Journalists is located.
Off hand, I'd have to say either Kalifornia or NYC.
Because of their newest suggestions in referring to illegal aliens.
,,,writing that those who have not obtained citizenship but have entered the country without any prior approval should be called “undocumented workers” or “undocumented immigrants.”
Because in their land, most Hispanics think of themselves as Mexicans in a forgein land, right? Down here in San Antonio, the Mexicans I work with- who grew up here call those same undocumented workers,,,WETBACKS or more accurately mujadoes.
They've already change the term terrorist into "militants" and "radicals" are probably working on making them into patriots. Like those IRA bombers.
So what's next?
Pedophiles as undocumented childcare providers?
Meth makers as unregistered Pharmacists?
Carjackers as unintended chauffeurs?
Or Michael Vick an operator of an unlicensed kennel?

Not quite clear on this concept
The guy that started wikipedia says he doesn't want people distracted by ads.
...Or he doesn't want to clutter up his site with moneymaking ads.
So what's the difference between throwing up an ad and putting your face as headliner begging for money?
The fact that you're staying true to your hippie roots by not "selling out" to corporations?

Putting it into context
We woke up to an outdoor thermometer that said 18 degrees Fahrenheit.
The Daily mail is expanding on their weather woes:
Traditional family walks to help the turkey go down were mostly off the cards today as Britain endured its coldest Christmas Day in living memory.
The mercury plummeted to -5.9C at Glenlivet in 1996, but that record was smashed last night when temperatures dropped to -17C at Worcester and -18C at Altnaharra in northern Scotland.
Some areas enjoyed a traditional white Christmas, with snow falling in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and north east England.
Most parts of England, Wales and Northern Ireland were sunny and dry but daytime temperatures are set to remain below freezing.
In Fahrenheit, we're looking at about 20F, about 0F and 0F.
In S. Texas we don't have that nice blanket of insulating snow either.
But not only does this NOT disprove the whole Glowbull warming thing, it's proof -somehow that it's in full swing and will have the earth a charred cinder withing our lifetimes!!!one!!!!

Prezident Kickazz stopped by the Marine galley yesterday (or today- to reporter didn't say) for a quick photo op so that Michelle could gloat about her overpriced new bracelet and he could get in another round of golf.
I notice they didn't say he ate there- the food probably wasn't up to his standards....

A Christmas message
from someone else I hope I can vote for.
IF the Republican primaries LET me vote for him...instead of letting all the RINOS in the first half of the states decide who I can vote for.
AGAIN!
If I don't have a REAL conservative this time- you Republicans are going to be as popular as the Copperhead party was during reconstruction.

I mean the old kind with a little mercury inside a glass tube.
I'm reading this story about that pilot who took video of that farce called the TSA security theater. The story that tells of faceless, unelected, unresponsive, uncontrollable bureaucrats trying to find what they can pin on this pilot for showing just how bad their dog and pony show really is.
The reason I was asking about that detonator, was just how easy it would be to load a bomb in the cargo hold set to go off when the plane starts it's takeoff climb.
-->Open the suitcase, slip it in and pull that safety tape off the contacts then start loading other planes as you wait for the plane to break up above a neighborhood elementary school.
-OR- when your catering truck noses up to the plane, put your present on one of those beverage carts.
Those terrorists are locked in a 14th century religion but that doesn't make them completely stupid. Only some loner is going to try boarding with a bomb anymore, and the way TSA is letting crap on planes anyway- he'd probably make it on board....
for the PASSENGERS to stop- like they have been doing.

That history shows that Tailgunner Joe was right.

We need to get some kind of government oversite on this
It may even qualify as a national security problem sometime in the future.
Since it's a national security concern if 25% of kids are too fat to pass their military physicals- the .gov needs to take over their nutrition needs.
Now that the military is reporting that 23% of recent H.S grads are too stupid to pass the minimum ASVAPs, something needs to be done....it's security, you know!
Maybe we need to appoint a government board to oversee out national education nee-------- Ohh!
