All the news I wish to print

There are all kinds of stories out there. Some will make you laugh, some will make you cry. Some will make you shrug, some will make you scream. Read any daily paper or listen to any newscast and your emotions can go from happy to sad to disbelief to fear to incredulity to horror to anger in very short order.
As we go along, there will be stories, as Paul Harvey used to say, to "wash your ears out with." There will be others that will make you feel like you need to be deloused simply by virtue of having heard or read them. Some posts will be religious, some secular and for some I expect will defy easy classification in either category. I hope you will join me in this journey and please feel free to comment along the way.
For my part I pledge not to remove any posts unless they are vulgar, libelous, threatening or otherwise in violation of the standards of civil discussion. I will not remove any post simply because I disagree with it but I will reserve the right to respond to any challenges that come my way.
God bless you and welcome to my blog.

Good news, Mr. President!

Despite the best efforts of the Bush Administration, which apparently did nothing for the last eight years except plot the destruction of your administration, if the election were held today you would win by a huge majority. All you have to do is get Congress to extend the right to vote to Europeans because, according to this article in the Telegraph, they apparently still think you are the cat's pajamas. Of course there is still that pesky demographic known as American Citizens. Hey, maybe you can rescind their right to vote with the same legislation as that which grants it to those folks across the pond.

If you don't have anything nice to say...

...then you're so called representatives-whose salaries and benefits you pay-do not want to hear it. The New York Times reports:

The reception that Representative Frank Kratovil Jr., a Democrat, received here one night last week as he faced a small group of constituents was far more pleasant than his encounters during a Congressional recess last summer.


Then, he was hanged in effigy by protesters. This time, a round of applause was followed by a glass of chilled wine, a plate of crackers and crudités as he mingled with an invitation-only audience at the Point Breeze Credit Union, a vastly different scene than last year’s wide-open televised free-for-alls.

The sentiment that fueled the rage during those Congressional forums is still alive in the electorate. But the opportunities for voters to openly express their displeasure, or angrily vent as video cameras roll, have been harder to come by in this election year. more


ACLU strikes again.

In this story from FOX News the ACLU maks the laughable claim that the Arizona law that simply reiterates federal law on the subject and insists that police actually do their jobs is an "unprecedented attempt by a single state to regulate immigration" and "a brazen and improper usurpation of the federal government's constitutional role in immigration regulation." It is laughable because this charge would be far more appropriately leveled at so-called "sanctuary cities" who unilaterally decided to disregard federal law along with the safety and well being of their own-and other-American citizens.

Bush Derangement Syndrome-the desease that will not die

Really, it's sad. But apparently they just can't help themselves.


Here's more on reaction to this idiotic comment.

Go out there and try hard...

...But not too hard or you may win by too large a margin. That whirring sound you hear is Vince Lombardi spinning in his grave. Fox news reports:

Canadian Youth Soccer League: Winning by More Than Five Counts as a Loss

Published June 04, 2010

| FOXNews.com

A Canadian youth soccer league is taking heat after introducing a new rule that says any team that wins a game by more than five points will actually lose by default.

The rule, intended to foster sportsmanship, replaced the Gloucester Dragons Recreational Soccer league’s former five-point mercy regulation, which said any points scored beyond a five-point differential would not be registered, the National Post reported.

But some players and parents say the new rule will only keep these children from reaching their full potential as players and coddle sore losers. more...

Whose fault was the Gulf Oil Spill? Who else?

Certainly not the current occupant of the Oval Office. It doesn't matter how long he is in office, nothing will ever be his fault. Especially when Bush the bogeyman to pin everything on.

Flotilla Choir presents: We Con the World

For the past few days we have been hearing almost nothing but sanctimonious, knee jerk, self-righteous claptrap from the media, world governments and even our own Dear Leader, Barack Obama. Well clean out your ears with this. Enjoy!
