It should be interesting and timely.

Huckabee, Paul and McCain…

I continue to be MORE than annoyed as our worthless biased media tries yet again to freeze out Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul.

Mitt Romney has taken his hat out of the ring…

Romney supporters will likely go to Huckabee and some to Paul MUCH to the chagrin of the media…

We DONT want straight Mex McCain…. or Hill

Why is there a Downturn/Recession on the Doorstep?

Umm cause the US has lost an assload of high and mid wage jobs, thanks to Democrat (think Clinton) and Republican (think Bushes) support for NAFTA and CAFTA. And both parties sat idly by while 12 million (or more) people invaded the country.

Trade a (up to $300 $600) one time, already paid, tax rebate (for a single person) for a $40,000 or more full time job? Buehler?…Anyone?

It’s a rebate btw…What if you were unemployed some or all of 2007? It will rebate up to $300 $600 of the tax you had withheld.

AND…if you are eligible, …..you wont get it til May AFTER youve already had to file your return.

Anyway, FYI, here is an interesting blog posting. I wont vouch for accuracy, but it’s thought provoking especially in these times.

Have You Been Watching Chuck Norris Lately?

One day I woke up and Jesse Ventura was Governor of Minnesota. It even caught Garrison Keillor off guard.

Then I woke up and the Terminator was the Governor of California.

The other night I awakened to see Chuck Norris onTV smiling…and giddy like a school girl. Is Chuck Norris Vice President?

I think there are lots of CH-evys headed for the border already.

Hurricane Felix Headed For North Nicaragua and Honduras [Now Category 5]… (Satelite Imagery)

Another hurricane is brewing in the carribean heading for north Nicaragua and Honduras.

Hurricane Dean heads for Mexico Yucatan (Satelite Image loop)

Hurricane Dean is now strengthened to a category 5 and is headed for the Yucatan Peninsula about 100 miles south of Cancun. The best link on this posting is the fourth one on weather_com.

Hurricane Dean is closing in on Jamaica and at last look (just at the start of Sunday 8/19/2007) the radar and satelite images , Dean’s eye appears to be headed just south of the island. The storm bands are huge though and the storm bands will more than cover all of Jamaica as it passes on Sunday.

It took a while, but I found a Jamaica radar loop.
(This loop however is showing Feb 8, 2007??? and no outer bands so something is haywire with their system it seems. So use the second link for satelite.)

http://www.metservice.gov.jm/radarpage.asp

Satelite animation shows the path better. This seems to be the only good animated view of the storm.

http://wwwghcc.msfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/get-goes?satellite=GOES-E%20HURRICANE&lat=20&lon=-60&zoom=4&width=1200&height=400&type=Animation&palette=spect.pal

Here is a link from a Wunderground weather station in Kingston (south east corner of Jamaica). There is a chart showing the barometric pressure dropping as the eye approaches and a chart of wind speed. Hopefully this is more accurate than that radar loop. Wunderground has a pretty cool weather site and the little individual weather stations scattered about is a cool idea.
(Barometric pressure was dropping on that chart, now some crazy nonsense numbers. Still shows temp and what I would think are pretty low wind speeds. I assume all this equipment still has its power?..Stay tuned)

This link has satelite animated too and seems to be less busy

No President Left Behind…

This went through my mind and it made me giggle.

While I still support Bush on taking the war to nuts before they bring it to us again, the Scoot and Mexican gaffs have left me frustrated.

So, in fictional legislation with smiling Nancy bi-partisan support Congress will introduce and pass a “No President Left Behind” bill.

It will help future presidents of any party when their pole numbers slip to zero.

Nancy Pelosi…on Charlie Rose (PBS)

I must give Speaker Pelosi credit for a decent (and frankly more thoughtful and more coherent) interview with Charlie Rose than I expected last evening.

However, while apparently making some headway in rallying some bi-partisan legislation in many domestic issues (minimum wage and Vet benefits), she failed in the two hot topics (The war in Iraq and Immigration reform).

On the war, she is convinced if we just had more dialogue with the Iraqis and those in the gulf region, and we reduced our presence, that this would all magically get better.  She was quick to admit, that we just can’t pick up and leave.  Matter of fact, she said we would have to stay (and we might stay longer if the Iraqis met certain benchmarks) to fight Al queda, defend the embassy).  Her point was that we have to get out of the “civil war” part.   That’s where reality didn’t seem to be coming together.   Somehow if we just dialogue more, we can stay out of the civil war part and still fight alqueda.  Do the al queda members wear special uniforms or patches or helmets so that we could in practice do that?  Do the al queda members only go in certain parts of Iraq?  Nancy didn’t convince me that there is any practical way to do what she idealistically envisions.

Secondly, she was all peachy and even praising the newest Liberal Democrat, George W. Bush on his Immigration efforts (I mean Amnesty).   Oh no, it’s not amnesty when we “forgive”12 million people that invade the country and would soon lay legal claim to all our tax and spend social benfits.

I bet they don’t even know how many illegals are even here.  Is there anyone even left in Mexico now?

Somehow Nancy envisions surrounded by 12 million (or is it 20) mexicans will be like her culturally diverse life in San Francisco.  Really?  I envision every Walmart and McDonalds in the entire country with a 70% or more spanish workforce, some dude in broken english saying Señor, fries with that? and most of the signage in the the new national language…and it isnt English.

By the way, I speak out now and will vote as often as I can because after 12 million invaders start voting…..

Senate Revives Amnesty Bill…Who is Selling Us Out Señor?

http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=110&session=1&vote=00228

On the Cloture Motion (Motion to Invoke Cloture on the Motion to Proceed to Consider S.1639 – Which is reviving the Amnesty Immigration Bill for another vote in the Senate Thursday 6/28 ? or near that date.

Look at this list of Tax and Spend Liberal Democrats (below) ready to give 12 million illegal invaders of the United States, Amnesty and some Social Security and all kinda government program benefits that they will be soon legally be entitled to. Oh wait, and there’s some sell-out Republicans on this list too. Can you imagine 12 million invaders that would legally have claim to our benefits system? We are told that Social Security already can’t support the citizens we have now. Should I write this posting in Spanish? How soon will it be that Spanish would be our official second language? or first? Supposedly, magically, we will now seal our borders…really?…Then why not do that, then round up the invaders and send them to Mexico?WE DON’T WANT TO LIVE in MEXICO!

Remember the Alamo!

Please see how your representative voted and call their office, mail their office and email their office and let them know how you liked their vote….Señor!!!!

Miss USA busts her bottom…but recovers gracefully…

Miss USA busts her bottom…but recovers gracefully…at the Miss Universe pageant (evening gown portion) 2007 in Mexico city.

Also, there was a lot of loud chanting that didn’t sound good, while she was hearing her interview question later (personality portion). It was after the field was narrowed from 10 to 5 and Miss Mexico had been eliminated.

Anyone able to understand what the chanters were screaming/booing?

At any rate, she went on to place as fourth runner up. Still excellent as she was up against some hot competition from Brazil, Venezuela and Korea. Miss Japan is the new Miss Universe
