O.K. I can't help it, I have to say something about San Francisco naming a street for Nasty Pelosi. My last visit to "Frisco" was several years ago and all I remember about the streets was how narrow some were and how much traffic (mostly rude drivers, too).
The street that bears her name is probably a one-way, very crooked, downhill, left turn only, poorly paved, narrow road that ends up going into the sea (over a cliff). Along the sides are probably such sterling offices as Planned Parenthood, PETA, NAMBLA, a mosque, a plastic surgeon, and an abandoned church. Yep, that would be a truly fitting tribute.
While B.O. (B.S.) is standing on the "I killed bin Laden" soap box, hoping to get Americans to support his re-election bid, someone else is paying the bill.
Really Long Link This is not really surprising, is it? It seems he (and the rest of the libs) find ways to take credit where credit isn't due and let someone else pay for it.
Dr. Shakeel Afridi risked his life to help capture bin Laden. B.O. (B.S.) didn't risk anything at all. It was a win-win situation, folks. If the raid went south and bin Laden got away, the prez could blame the military and get points from the libs. If they succeeded and got the world's most wanted criminal, the decent people would applaud him. The Navy Seals risked their lives. The doctor risked his. B.O. (B.S.) had to leave the golf course for a few hours... boy, that's some sacrifice, isn't it?
You'd think it might have occurred to someone that since Pakistan isn't very happy with us they might have been a little displeased with the doctor as well. Wouldn't it have been common sense to get the doctor and his family out of Pakistan and offer them asylum immediately after the raid?
It seems to me that our (very experienced) Sec. of State, Ms. Clinton, might have thought about this diplomatic nightmare a little ahead of time and taken steps to protect Dr. Afridi and his family. Isn't diplomacy supposed to be her job? Shouldn't whoever recruited him to help locate and verify bin Laden have taken the danger a little more seriously?
We have become the laughing stock of the world since the 2008 election. I guess it goes with putting someone in office who wasn't qualified to sell newspapers door-to-door. Our foolishness may have accorded us a little sympathy from well-meaning people at one time. However, it looks like we'll lose that bit of good will, too. Using people for our own ends and then abandoning them isn't the way to keep allies. But what can we expect when the trademark of our POTUS is throwing used people under his bus?
Isn't it funny when rhetoric turns around and bites the speaker? Lofty words and grand proclamations have a way of being recorded for posterity. Books written have a way of hanging around. Promotional pamphlets don't vanish just because they go out of print. Funny, isn't it?
B.O. (B.S.)'s minions tried to make Romney look bad for taking his dog on vacation (in a carrier, on the roof of a car). The dog had a great time and lived. The tactic fizzled when one of B.O. (B.S.)'s own books mentioned that he had EATEN a dog. Kind of pales by comparison, doesn't it?
Then there was the "bullying" that someone accused Mitt Romney of being involved in (way back in his school days). Oddly, nobody involved, including the victims family, even remembers the supposed incident. Of course, again from one of his books, B.O. (B.S.) brags about bullying a little girl and knocking her down.
And calling someone a "birther" is something of an insult, right? Funny how a promotion for B.O. (B.S.) specifies that he was born in KENYA. Hmmm... does this mean that B.O. (B.S.) is a "birther"? Or does that just explain why all his school records are sealed, maybe?
And here's another brilliant rhetorical observation that should be carrying a great deal of weight today but seems to be strangely ignored...
"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America 's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America 's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, "the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."
~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006
Yep. Words do have a nasty habit of sticking around. Makes you wonder if the "H" that we weren't supposed to say during the 2008 campaign might stand for hypocrite, doesn't it, folks?
I just got a notice from Orble that I haven't done any posting for 55 days! Wow! It didn't seem like that long at all. Guess I better say something.
The political arena is like a side-show these days. From Joe Biden opening his mouth to change feet (often) to the apparent selection of Mitt Romney as the Republican candidate, to the crazies who occupy everything but common sense, there is so much to talk about

My family and racial heritage are mixed and I find this absolutely disgusting. It looks like the makings of a race war, folks. This is what happens when race is all that matters and people need to find their identity via becoming "hyphenated" Americans. Why can't we all call ourselves American and follow the Constitution instead of dividing into groups that resent each other?
Really Long Link This couple had nothing to do with anything beyond helping their son several years ago. Put yourself in their place and imagine what a similarity in names could do to you

Does anyone remember when the crazy man flew his plane into the IRS building in Texas? Remember the outcry about how he had to be a "right wing nut case"? Turned out he was anything but. Then the slime ball who shot Gabby Giffords and all those other people? He was accused of doing it because of "right wing rhetoric" and Sarah Palin got blamed for it (along with conservative talk radio). Remember that? Again, he was anything but a right wing conservative.
Well, here we go again, folks. The media wants us to believe that a white racist targeted and murdered that innocent black child, right? I have a sneaking suspicion they won't make much mention of the actual facts about the incident itself. Little details like the race of Mr. Zimmerman or the behavior of Trayvon Martin are being ignored. Just wondering how fast the whole thing will be swept under the political rug when the media discovers this little jewel? Really Long Link

I just got this link and thought it worthy of sharing. Is this part of the latest presidential order to control everything? Or is it just a good example of how government can go "hog wild", given the opportunity? Really Long Link
It's a well known fact that small farms are under siege from the feds lately. We can't sell produce without the government "protecting" our customers. Kids are no longer allowed to work on family farms. The government wants to tell everyone what they can and can't grow on their own land

As though there is anyone who hasn't heard about the shooting in Florida, there are a few things to consider before going off like a poorly aimed rocket.
First, this was NOT white on black "racism". Mr. Zimmerman is half white and half Hispanic. In other words, he's as much white as our vaunted "black" president

Oprah Winfrey, a huge supporter of B.O. (B.S.) appears to have figured out something that eludes him. Her new TV network seems to be failing and she had tough choices to make. Oddly (for a liberal, anyway) she didn't find new ways to waste money. She didn't hire 1000 new people to solve her problem. She didn't allocate a few million dollars to find out why her ratings were dropping. She used common sense (very strange thing for a liberal to do), and cut expenses.
Maybe she could send a memo to the White House

My post yesterday was concerning the new Executive Order that was slipped through. Now you can see the connection to something else that has been downplayed and ignored by the Lame Stream Media.
