Purchased any gasoline lately????



DEMOCRATIC PROMISE #16: Lower Gasoline Prices
Promise: “Democrats have a plan to lower gas prices…join Democrats who are working to lower gas prices now.” – Then-Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Press Release, April 19, 2006

Broken Promise: “The average price of gasoline hit $3.218 a gallon Monday, up a stunning 11.5 cents the past week and just half a penny shy of the inflation-adjusted record, the government reported. The average is almost certain this week to pass the inflation-adjusted high of $3.223, recorded in May 1981 by the Energy Information Administration.” – “Average Gasoline Price Nears 1981 Average,” USA Today, May 22, 2007. Democrats have been in power for six months, and gas prices have gone up, not down.

And, of course the price just kept on rising until Bush (too late) issued the EO that brought off shore drilling back and broke the speculators bubble. He did that in 8/2008... we then elected Obamie and the price has risen steadily, but really jumped when Obamie stupidly announced the ban on drilling in the Gulf.

Of course if his intent was to destroy the economy it was a smart thing to do.

Your choice. I take the latter.

Obamaoline on its way to $5.00 a gallon



SINGAPORE (AP) -- Oil prices rose to near $92 a barrel Monday in Asia as some OPEC ministers signaled the group doesn't plan to boost output to cool the recent jump in crude.

Benchmark oil for February delivery rose 27 cents to $91.78 a barrel late afternoon Singapore time in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Let me see. About two months ago The Cat Food President announced no drilling in the Gulf of Mexico...... and gasoline has risen steadily since then....

Think maybe there's a connection? Oh well, we know where Obamie's loyalties lie! That would be anyplace besides America.

Global warming is here, don't you know

The white Christmas in the South was one for the record books. Columbia, S.C., had its first significant Christmas snow since weather records were first kept in 1887. Atlanta had just over an inch of snow—the first measurable accumulation on Christmas Day since the 1880s.

Guess the religion


A teacher at the Institute Menéndez Tolosa in the city of La Línea de la Concepcion has been denounced by a Muslim family in the same city. The family believes that its son, a student in first year of secondary school, was offended during a geography class, it was reported to this newspaper.

The teacher was giving a normal lesson about the different climates on our planet, and he used the locality of Trevélez [Granada] as example of a cold and dry climate. For an anecdote, the teacher explained that precisely this climate was best for the curing of hams. Then the student demanded of the teacher, “Don’t speak about hams,” because this subject was offensive for him as he is a Muslim.



The teacher is accused of being an author of a supposed crime of mistreatment, and of having racist motivations and xenophobia.

The Provincial Delegation of the Council of Education also confirmed yesterday to this newspaper that it knew for certain that these facts had been produced, and that a teacher had been denounced to the National Police, but declined to elaborate any further.



The State police have opened an investigation of these facts as denounced by the family of the minor, and it will be necessary to wait for the judicial authority to issue an opinion on whether the case “lacks merit” [a sort of tribunal with a judge].

You know, I could not make stuff like this up.

And given the super political correctness being foisted on us, it is only a matter of time until this nonsense happens here.

On DADT



As someone who supports gay rights, including marriage, several of my friends expressed shock when I said I opposed the repeal of DADT.

My opposition is simple. The aupporters of the repeal claim that gays have had their civil rights violated by DADT. And they have a right to proclaim their sexual orientation.

There is no right to serve in the military just as there is no right to drive a car.

Both require a person to pass certain universally applied tests and demonstrate certain qualifications.

One of the universally applied requirements is to be able to fit into a functioning unit within the military and contribute to its success.

DADT allowed gays to do that at all levels. Now that is gone.

My ten years experience in Naval Aviation tells me  this will hurt our effectiveness.

I hope I'm wrong. But it's a gamble and only time will tell.

In my long life I have learned one thing.

You don't gamble with the rent money.

No Christmas in DC



There will be no Nativity Scene in Washington this year!

The Supreme Court has ruled that there cannot be a Nativity Scene in the United States Capital this Christmas season . This isn't for any religious reason. They simply have not been able to find Three Wise Men in the Nation's Capitol.

The search for a Virgin continues....

There was no problem, however, finding enough sheep and asses to fill the stable.

A merry and happy!

To My Liberal Friends:

Please accept with no obligation, implied or explicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, and gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday. Which may be practiced with the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious and/or secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I, the wisher, also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2011, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere. Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, sexual preference, or religious faith of the wishee.

To My Conservative Friends:

A Very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!

Love, sweet love

This guy is Alvaro Alfonso de Miranda Neto:



He was married to  ---  this woman. Her name is Cibele Dorsa. She is a Brazilian swimsuit, Victoria's Secret, and Playboy model.


He divorced her because he fell in love with this woman:  Those two are very happily married right now.




Some people argue that love is blind. This story clearly proves it...It proves that men are capable of real love;
truly seeing a person's inner beauty, not basing their decisions solely on looks.


Oh, by the way...The new girl is Athena Onassis. She's worth 12 billion dollars.

Kinda brings a tear to the eye, doesn't it?

Don't yodel if your neighbors are muslims



An Austrian court found 63-year-old Helmut Griese, guilty for offending his Muslim neighbors for yodeling in his backyard as he was mowing the grass.

The court said his yodeling offended his next-door Muslim neighbors, who accused him of racist mockery by imitating the call of the Muezzin, a prayer chant while facing Mecca.

This is not climate change this is politics.....

and the politics is "Hate America" and "Give Us Your Money."

Cancun, Mexico - Bolivian President Evo Morales called Thursday to save the Kyoto Protocoland to create an international climate justice tribunal.



Morales called delegates to discuss not just the effects of climate change, but also its consequences, which he blamed on capitalism.

'We have the obligation to change those policies,' he said.
Link

We desperately need a President to go on TV and say:

"You can have your court. We will keep our military."

Why? Because these idiots, and Morales is clearly an idiot, think they can make us destroy our country.

But know what??? Maybe they can with the help of President "My wife is waiting" and the environmental wackos that have grown like poison ivy in the country.

College students hoax the hoaxers



If it wasn't so sad it would be screamingly funny.

Some people will sign anything that includes phrases like, ”global effort,” “international community,” and “planetary.” Such was the case at COP 16, this year’s United Nations Conference on Climate Change in Cancun, Mexico.

This year, CFACT students created two mock-petitions to test U.N. Delegates. The first asked participants to help destabilize the United States economy, the second to ban water.

The first project, entitled “Petition to Set a Global Standard” sought to isolate and punish the United States of America for defying the international community, by refusing to bite, hook, line and sinker on the bait that is the Kyoto Protocol. The petition went so far as to encourage the United Nations to impose tariffs and trade restrictions on the U.S. in a scheme to destabilize the nation’s economy. Specifically, the scheme seeks to lower the U.S. GDP by 6% over a ten year period, unless the U.S. signs a U.N. treaty on global warming.

This would be an extremely radical move by the United Nations. Even so, radical left-wing environmentalists from around the world scrambled eagerly to sign.

The second project was as successful as the first. It was euphemistically entitled “Petition to Ban the Use of Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO)” (translation water). It was designed to show that if official U.N. delegates could be duped by college students into banning water, that they could essentially fall for anything, including pseudo-scientific studies which claim to show that global warming is man-caused.

Link

Now these are the people that the Left wants to turn over our country to in the name of preventing global warming.

As Forest Gump said, "Stupid is as stupid does."

Oil expected to go over $100 a barrel


All kidding aside, it was the rapid run up of oil prices in the spring of 2008 that finished off the economy. Now we see it happening all over again. Except we have no reserves this time.

Congress has dithered and blathered for almost 30 months. Speculators must be forced out of this market immediately. Obama must take back his drilling freeze comments....

.... of course he won't because he wants the economy destroyed.....

And people who buy oil futres MUST be able to take delivery of the product.  That'll slow'em down and bring reality back into the market.

Bits and pieces 12/8


I hate cold weather. I hate cold weather. I hate cold weather.

Oh how I hope Global Warming is real.

Don Meredith is dead at age 72. I never saw him play but he entertained me on Monday Night Football with his humor. Plus he had the nerve to tell the truth. If a game was over in the third quarter his winsome rendition of, “Turn Out the Lights’ (the party’s over) told us it was okay to just enjoy the world and leave the game to those who felt that football was the end all of everything.

Now we have five pro games every week and a plethora of “color men” and announcers who explain every twitch and strategy. Yet none of them have the nerve to say, “That was stupid,” when the coach calls a running play when his running backs have not yet gone more two yards and it is fourth and 10 with 2 minutes left in the game.

The fatter we get the sportier we become.

Oh how I hope Global Warning is real.

Speaking of sports, one of the more amusing things lately has been watching Auburn and the NACAA twist and turn and parse to keep Cam Newton eligible.

Not that I care. He’s a great player and I have long maintained that the players in the NFL’s minor leagues, aka college football, should be paid up front in plain view…. Say about $30K/year each.

I hate cold weather. I hate cold weather. I hate cold weather.

Last spring I got into Little League coaching. Not next spring I tell myself. I am tired of listening to parents complain why Junior, who actually would rather be anyplace than in a Little League game, isn’t playing the position they think will place him in line for stardom.

I hate cold weather. I hate cold weather. I hate cold weather.

I wonder if all those people, who say that it is our fault that Assange is destroying our feeble amounts at diplomacy because we failed to protect our secrets, would agree that if they left their car unlocked with their wallets on the dash it is okay if a thief steals it.

I find this video interesting.

Sharia Law

Frightening, isn’t it. I mean the fact that probably 97% of Americans do not know anything about Sharia law and the aim of the extremist Muslims to have it the law of the world.

I hate cold weather.

Oh how I hope global warming is real.

A talking frog??



A guy is 72years old and loves to fish.

He was sitting in his boat the other day when he heard a voice say,

'Pick me up.'

He looked around and couldn't see anyone.

He thought he was dreaming when he heard the voice say again,

'Pick me up.'

He looked in the water and there, floating on the top, was a frog.

The man said, 'Are you talking to me?'

The frog said, 'Yes, I'm talking to you.'

Pick me up then, kiss me and I'll turn into the most beautiful woman you have ever seen.

I'll make sure that all your friends are envious and jealous because I will be your bride!'

The man looked at the frog for a short time,

reached over, picked it up carefully, and placed it in his front pocket.

The frog said, 'What, are you nuts? Didn't you hear what I said? I said kiss me and I will be your beautiful bride.'

He opened his pocket, looked at the frog and said,

'Nah, at my age I'd rather have a talking frog.'

Instrument landing at night




I was watching the History Channel earlier. The program was about the ten most dangerous airports in the world..

Best I could tell, Aspen didn't make the list, or maybe I missed it.

Now I am a firm believer that all landings that you walk away from are good, so I decided to repost this video showing improvements in night landing technology. I haven't kept up so I have no idea as to when, or if, this will show up in the cockpit, but it is impressive.

The video is split screen allowing you to see what the pilot sees with and without the display.

Enjoy. And next time you fly into Aspen at night in the snow, think about those hills to the right.. and if the pilot decides to take you back to Denver.... Don't bitch.

Wikileaks and Hoyer and other low lifes and ramblings



Bits and pieces….. 11/30/10 to 12/1/10 AM

Windy and chilly. I spent a great deal of time Sunday afternoon mulching leaves, which leaves a mess. When we get home I will hook up the bagger to the John Deere and clean up the mess.

Obama has had months to close down Wikileaks and he has done nothing. This makes me think he doesn’t care. Heck, we know he doesn’t.

Congressman King wants to name Wikileaks a terrorist organization and shut it down. Works for me…… Now, watch all the Lefties scream “Freedom of speech!”

Someone has set a fire outside the Mosque attended by the Xmas Tree Bomber. Dumb and dumber. That gives cover to terrorists by detracting from what he did. Plus, it is just 100% wrong,.

Earlier I posted a video of David Horowitz exposing a Muslim Student Association member for what she is. If you haven’t seen it, please do so.

Obama wants to freeze federal pay for two years. I got a better idea. Freeze it for two years, cut headcount by 10% and no new hires for two years….. Military excluded (if you have to ask).
Our esteemed Demo Hoyer wants to include military.

What an ahole.

This morning we had a knock on the hotel room door where we are staying: “House Keeping!” was heard with a Spanish accent.

Opening door I replied: “We won’t be checking out for two more hours!”

With a puzzled look the lady said: “I don’t understand English.”

Glad I am not running for Governor.

We must not have any citizens looking for work.

Grumpy. Some thief got my American Express account number and tried to use it yesterday. Thiefie was gonna use it to load some minutes on thiefie’s cell phone.

Happy: AX security nailed it. Gave me a call and the charges and is sending me a new card. Every now and then things work the way they are supposed to.

When you wish upon a star...



"(AFP) - After billions of years the Sun finally has an owner -- a woman from Spain's soggy region of Galicia said Friday she had registered the star at a local notary public as being her property. Angeles Duran, 49, told the online edition of daily El Mundo she took the step in September after reading about an American man who had registered himself as the owner of the moon and most planets in our solar system."

Just wait 'til Spain's socialist government sends her the property tax bill.

UrgentAgenda

Bill Katz has a way with words. And I wonder if the American has considered all the EPA violations  that must exist on Mars....

Muslims sentence Christian woman to hang for blasphemy

PAKISTANI Muslims have threatened anarchy if the Government pardons a Christian mother sentenced to death for blasphemy, calling hundreds of protesters onto the streets.
Hundreds of Muslims marched in the eastern city of Lahore after the most influential Sunni Muslim alliance in Pakistan urged the Government not to grant mother-of-five Aasia Bibi clemency.

We will hold nationwide protests if the government pardons the Christian woman," the subsidiary's chief coordinator, Qari Yaqub, told participants.

Now, where are the moderate Muslims?? Where are the Muslims claiming to want to build an outreach building (and Mosque) at GZ??

Where is CAIR? Where is NOW? Where is Obama?????

We have caning of a 10 year old in Indonesia for eating rice and pork. We have attempts at honor killing in Toronto. We have women accused of infidelity executed in Afghanistan. We have young girls hung in Iran for causing a man to rape her.

Where is the international outrage and condemnation of such barbaric actions???

If the moderate Muslims want respect and acceptance into the western world, then they must act to prevent such things from happening.
