I guess people will believe that

If they want to believe that's the reason President iWON and MEchelle weren't invited to the Princes' wedding.

Palace officials said that only crowned heads of states are traditionally invited to royal weddings, and that political leaders who are not from the 54-member Commonwealth of nations, such as President Barack Obama or French President Nicolas Sarkozy, weren’t sent invitations.

Unless you know how to operate a search engine.

Q: Why did president reagan not go to diana's wedding?

A: Prince Charles and Princess Diana invited then President Ronald Reagan and his wife Nancy to their 1981 ceremony - though she came alone because the President was too ill to travel following an assassination attempt on him. Mrs Reagan also attended the wedding of Prince Andrew to Sarah Ferguson in 1986.

That's because you didn't think it through

as usual. That's why you're always surprised by what you call 'unexpected consequence' and the rest of us call a logical progression.

That's exactly what happened in Seattle when they decided to green-up to help Gaea.

The rain gardens installed by the city last summer and fall haven’t worked as planned.

Instead of solving problems, they have created new ones.

The gardens, which look sort of like shallow, sparsely planted ditches running between the road and sidewalk, fill with water – and stay filled. Some of the rain gardens drain over the course of hours or days, but some become miniponds until the city comes to pump them out.

Now the financially pressed city will have to spend $500,000 to fix the rain gardens. And after the fixes, the gardens will do less of what they were designed to do: keep runoff from sewers to prevent overflows.


Instead of getting real engineers in that understood hydraulic flow- they got artist and landscape designers to put these pre-swamps in, so instead of a slow drain through filtering rock, they did whatever they did.
Now most of these fancy bar ditches are mosquito breeding quagmires.

But they have a solution! Yey!
After they spend double the money to redo those 'rain gardens' they'll plan on replanting them...

The sloping ditches are planted with red-twig dogwood and huckleberry bushes, grasses and sedges – all plants that don’t mind soggy soil. The rainwater soaks into the ground rather than flowing into the city’s stormwater or sewer system.

Instead of planting trees that are soggy soil tolerant, here in Texas we have plenty of Mountain Ceders we'll GIVE you. The beauty of these trees is that they actually suck up water.
But we don't expect you to take us up because, you know, that might actually work.

Oh, bummer Michelle

She had to cancel her Lenin's birthday Earth Day celebration in some DeeCee park because of weather.


It was raining. They were afraid she'd melt.

Which reminds me of this picture of two Ivy School grads....

MEchelle Obama

Loving America since 2008-









And even more now that she can run things.

Remember back in 2003 and 2004

When gas prices were going through the roof? (so we thought)

Who was raising a big stink about it being Bush's fault?
Bloomberg news and their hit piece.
Americans are paying 30 percent more for regular gasoline than a year ago, an average of a $1.94 a gallon, and a poll by American Research Group May 3-6 showed voters becoming concerned. Oil futures have averaged $28.62 a barrel since Bush took office, 42 percent higher than the average during Clinton's two terms. Oil reached a record $41.38 a barrel on Friday.

Thurston Kerry III (who was in Viet Nam) via Fox-
SEATTLE — Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry (search), visiting a swing state with rising prices at the gasoline pump, is blaming President Bush's foreign policy for high energy prices he says endanger national security.

The LA Times
Experts have a lot of good reasons to explain why prices are going up at the moment: unrest in the Middle East, gas-guzzling cars and greed among the oil producing nations, among others. But there is another culprit that is being ignored and that is making the problem far, far worse in the U.S. than elsewhere: the decline in the value of the dollar.

"Instability and danger in the Middle East are driving up the price of oil," the Massachusetts senator said in remarks prepared for delivery Wednesday in Seattle


The NYT-
INDIAN WELLS, Calif., April 22 — President Bush spent an Earth Day marked by record-high gas prices promoting his support for hydrogen-powered fuel cell cars, but Democrats said that the vehicles were years away from reality and that the president needed to do more to relieve sticker shock at the pump.

The WaPo-
With oil prices still climbing, President Bush is coming under increasing criticism for his handling of the burgeoning political issue of gasoline costs, not only from Democrats but also from administration allies in the oil-refining and chemical industries.


But In commemoration of Lenins birthday today, we'll be mentioning that hugely deafening silence from the ideological progeny of Tas and Pravda in their putting any mention near their black plastic Chicago Jeezus.

You notice, I didn't even bring up Darth Cheney?

Obama- always on the wrong side

So, knowing that it will never happen--I ask rhetorically- Where are the cries of outrage from the anti-war peaceniks?

If it were Bush that jumped into Libya and was backing Al-Qaida rebels that just beheaded a captured soldier, it would ba all over the news- instead of being broken on the Jawa Report. It includes vjdeo of the people Obama wants to see in power yelling Allah Akbar as they saw off the soldiers head.

...And these are the people who are going to get advanced weapons and training from us, the taxpayer.
To be sent to A-stan to be used against our troops.

AND- we'll never hear the lapdogs of Obamas press corps mention anything about war crimes, like you'd hear if Bush any Republican was stupid enough to get involved in Libya.

The Nissan Leaf

They have a new commercial out for it.





They call it the value of Zer



The first time I heard it, I was like all WTF???
If you had Zero air pollution, we'd all be dead. Oxygen is a powerful ,,,oxidant- it eats things. CO2 is a buffer gas, like Nitrogen and plants NEED CO2 to produce oxygen. Without air pollution we'd be- the moon.

And that zero dependence on foreign oil will never happen as long as your buddy in the White House keeps banning us from using our own oil.
...Even IF we could fuel with some exotic fuel that cost pennies, we'd still need it to produce PLASTIC!

Zero percent gas, 100 percent electric.
Where is this majik electricity going to come from? 0bamas Unicorns are about used up, and skittles use corn sugar that is used to make the ethanol that the lobbyist from BIG AG got Congress to mandate and then PAY for.

Not to mention just how unfriendly to Gaia all that advanced electronics are- nor should we think about all those poisons injected into the earth mother when producing the heavy metal that makes those batteries,

Rose Tyler? Glad to meet you, I am the Doctor

C'mon then. Off to the TARDUS, and I'll show you worlds you've never dreamed of...




Note-
If you do a search for Billie Piper with your safe search disabled, you won't be disappointed...

I see the Reno Sheriffs Dept

Has three new members coming on board soon.




GLENDALE - Three Glendale police officers who took a patrol car on a joyride to Las Vegas no longer work for the department, it was reported today.

Officers Patrick Hamblin, Fernando Salmeron and Mike Ullerich were separated from the department about three weeks ago, a city representative said.

Details of the personnel investigation were not released.

Demands?

Dr. Mohamed Morsy, media spokesman and member of the Executive Bureau of the Muslim Brotherhood(MB) demanded that US Congress hold a special session to hear directly from the MB about their programs as Congress held a session recently with the MB.

Dr. Morsy stated on Al Jazeera Satellite Channel that US fears of the MB are unfounded. He rejected the intervention of the US in Middle Eastern affairs and accused it of seeking to dominate the region for the exploitation of its raw materials,
...

That's a good way to change minds.
Too bad that most Americans don't take too well to enemies demanding things- and Obama isn't running things over there anymore.

See the disgusting rest at Weasel Zippers, if you want.

I don't know if I should be proud of this, or not

How many Justin Biebers could you take in a fight?

Created by Oatmeal



Or if I could have gotten more by round housing him so hard his guts would splatter out his butt instead of sending his little Bieber-ball into his throat.


H/T to Borepatch.

So I'm looking at this empty gallon of wine

Four liters, actually.
I have the honey which BTW- costs almost a dollar more that last month (thanx Barry).
I watched this video again-


And said- lets give it a shot.
I got the water, the tubing, the orange -then headed to the pet zone and got this bubble check-valve for my airlock.
I drilled a hole in the cap, and am now waiting for the silicone to cure before sanitization tomorrow.

I wonder how much I could increase the ,,,bite if I did something illegal like freeze the non-alcohol out when it's done in about four months....

Her name

is Georgia Moffett.

You don't really want to imprison her,


Because, after all- she's the daughter of a Time Lord!

It's Koch Industries, you illiterate imbeciles

Not the Koch Brothers, you mouth breathing Leftards.

Jesus Christ, I thought you were the ones supposed to be so intellectually superior that you would be able to tell the difference between a worldwide petroleum giant and a mom and pop office supply company.

But then again, you are products of those school teachers that called in sick for a week straight up in Madison- so you probably never heard the term...reading comprehension.
That means- reading comprehension- that you read the entire thing and make ALL the words make sense, instead of just picking ONE word to get all stupid on.

Off with his head!

In another incidence of a PATCO member f'ing up in the control tower, we have queen MEchelle's plane having to abort a landing at Andrews AFB. (Barry was waiting for her on the links)
This unforgivable mishandling of Blackie-O's time and comfort will be handled in the usual White House way. Incompetently, with back peddling finger pointing all around.



NOTE- Now that I know PATCO is part of the Teamsters union, I REALLY wonder why we're all of a sudden hearing about the sleeping problem that we hardly ever heard about before....

How much more nannyish are we going to go?

Now we're blaming stupid kids who don't study on dehydration?

More money we don't have to make sure kids have WATER in school?

For the fark sake Mechelle- go find a cause that doesn't cost us even MORE money.

Didn't Viet Nam kind of start like this?

We have a Democrat president who started a war.

There were military advisers to try to teach the indigenous population how to fight.
And when they couldn't do it, we sent in troops.

The Democrat President lied about what was going on over there. Obama lied, Libian civilians died!

And given that NATO is already running out of weaponry, this is what his exit strategy will probably look like.



The ONLY difference between Libya and all the other Mideast countries undergoing regime change is that Libya is the only country exporting one thing...

NO BLOOD FOR OIL!!!!eleven!!

I've had all of these questions at interviews

more than once, and still don't know how to answer them.

He didn't do the "How do you feel about competition?" one.


Via Borepatch.

Remember when we bailed out GM?

We were told that the taxpayer would make money! Yay!
Then the Chicago machine stole 2/3 of the stock and gave it to the unions and we were told it's not really theft because we gave those investors "new" stock! Yay!

Last year we were told that GM (why is everyone so quiet on Chrysler?) was going to repay $8 billion of the loan early! Yay! But it turned out they used stimulus funds for that. Yay---what?

Then we had that well heralded and awesomely coordinated IPO of the 'New" GM stocks. Yay!
That sold for less than needed to break even. Huh?
Because investors saw what happened to the original owners of the now union owned stock.

But, that's ok, really- because we'll sell the rest of that stock during the summer, because the stock now is worth HALF of what it needs to be to break even.
But that's ok, stocks took a 200 point hit yesterday on that S&P announcement of negative credit ratings- what could go wrong in the next couple months with more bad news on the debt front.
Lets sell those stocks anyway- it's only taxpayer monopoly money.

You know, I'm not exactly sure 'how' a googlebomb works

but if it has anything to do with hits to the Google owned Blogger- Pete Meachum is well on his way to the top of the links.
Because already, if you go to Yahoo! and ask about "Pete Meachum the asshole", I'm number five.

Lets let those inbred DCrs hit the links again tomorrow and see how Pete Meachum-who called anyone who questioned the wisdom of DeeCee a bunch of Communist Biatches who would love to shoot down American pilots rises in the search que- as 'Pete Meachum is an asshole'.

Why, I asked the wife

"Do you think there has been this surge of sleeping Air Traffic Controllers in, like the last four months- or so? As we heard about another one today heading to town.
"What do you mean about this surge?"

"Before about ... Christmas- when was the last time you remember hearing about a sleeping controller?"

"Ummm....I honestly can't remember...??"
"Why"

"I don't know, it just seems ... contrived somehow, after that crap with the unions in Wisconsin, and all the crap that's going on in other states..."

""What would air safety have to do with that?"

"I don't know, but with this group of Chicago criminals- It's probably got something to do with the union. The entire Obama administration is on the take from unions. The News media is in the bag for Obama, so they won't use anything larger than a teaspoon to dig for anything..."

"But it's the airlines, safety has to come first."

"No, it's the Air Traffic Controllers union- Reagan fired them all back in the `80's when they walked off in an illegal strike."
"Somethings up and it has to do with buttering bread for some union."

Googling yourself Pete?



And the first time...


And your buddy AlGores intratubes are forever.
Maybe you and your career politician buddies who spend their entire adult lives in that interbreeding hive on the Potomac need to start remembering that.

Opie, Opie, Opie

What would Sheriff Taylor say about that?



Of course that would be Sheriff Taylor talking, because Andy Griffith is a complete Leftist tool and see's nothing wrong with lying your ass off if you're a Democrat.

Can we go back to our ditch, Barry?

Look! Obama and the democrats took a perfectly good economy and ran it through the wall!





Keep shoveling those $Billions into the firebox, Ben- we have to burn through another trillion!














NEW YORK (Reuters) – Standard & Poor's threatened on Monday to downgrade the United States' prized AAA credit rating unless the Obama administration and Congress find a way to slash the yawning federal budget deficit within two years.

S&P, which assigns ratings to guide investors on the risks involved in buying debt instruments, slapped a negative outlook on the country's top-notch credit rating and said there's at least a one-in-three chance that it could eventually cut it.

It's awful quiet up in Wisconsin right now

isn't it?
They held an election for a state judge and as soon as the unions thought they stole enough votes- they declared "the will of the people" supported the roits demonstrations.

But, ummm- no. Those union thugs lost by over 7,000 votes.

I hope that wasn't a wake-up call, because we need them reminding people of what they'll all about for the next 19 months. Come on SEIU, NEA, OFA, IBEW, CWA- keep convincing people of how needed you are.

Do it again, only harder.


Remember to keep it classy!

Remember that rant I went on about gun sellers not providing info?

It was back in this post about the Beretta 1873 lever action .357.
I wqs under the assumption that it was a new rifle, but Beretta/Pietta/Cimarron put it out back in 2005.

The only review I've seen was from 'The high road' site, and now, I can't even bring it up. ahh, here it is,, but in .45.
But I want one. It's got the old half cock hammer safety and the (forerunner to JMBs Squeeze handle safety) squeeze the handle to fire old time firing arrangement.
So I don't have to worry about the Pumas annoying safety reset and all the other B.S. of lawyerly luuv.

I wonder what was wrong with them, since they seemed to be made well and weren't really overpriced (in the field).

Taxes are done and signed

Time for door-gunner Joe

Who was in Viet Nam, too.

As a Huey door gunner.

I want to thank the Democrat party

especially Harry, Nancy and Barry and their two years of complete mismanagement and screwing us taxpayers.
They left off that taxable exemption for the first $2500 of unemployment benefits that were part of Bush's taxbreaks for the wealthy they are h8ting.

So, because of that, my taxes went up by $645.
Glad you Democrats are looking out for the little guy.

I'm glad I was taking out an extra $20/wk to defray that pittance that Obama didn't put into my witholding last year.


OH- and thanx for not including line 40b this year, too. I didn't need $1000 off the adjusted gross for property taxes, either.

And here I thought that the Republicans caught a clue

from the last election. I mean it almost looked like we did something, however small about starting to start slowing the money hemorrhage.
No matter what those Washington insiders like that fucking ASSHOLE Pete Meachum says about that 0.00000001% they cut from the debt, it was still too small.

Now, I wonder are the Republicans going to roll over for Tim Geithner's raising the budget ceiling? Tax cheat Tim says it's already in the bag. Maybe, is that why our first negro decided that it was safe to come out slamming everything not Liberal in his last teleprompter reading?

That Republicans have no balls to stand up to these Chicago mobsters?
Why not vote to just remove the ceiling? Nobody but some mind blown hippie thinks it matters anyway.

Megan Mcgloverful

From Atlanta.

Normally when I see someone with dreadlocks, I tune them out as some kind of leftie doper that hasn't had a bath in weeks, but this video makes the exception.

She's got a great rant going on about how cold it is in Atlanta, but the best part starts at the three minute mark, and she's right.
Ok, the two minute mark is pretty good, too.
