Being truthful is okay. But it can get you just so far. If you're serious about getting things done, what you really need is public relations.

SSDI on verge of bankruptcy

 

Supposedly it is due to older workers being laid off and not able to find a new job. That is a load of horseshit. SSDI is supposed to be for people who are not capable of working ANY job, not because they got laid off. And it sure as hell wasnÂ’t supposed to be for fat old men who wear diapers and pretend to be a baby. Neither was it supposed to be for school aged children diagnosed by a charlatan as having ADD.  I recommend we eliminate 50% of the people on the roles as fraudulent.

Washington Examiner takes Obama camp to task for playing the race card

 

When thatÂ’s all you got you are in big trouble.

 

And thatÂ’s about it for news. The Libya thing is drawing all the headlines and we have already beat that to death.

1. There are detergents now for sports smell

2. Get a good mouth guard, not a cheap one.

3. Don't get low top football cleats unless he's the kicker. Have him measured, it's easier to turn an ankle if you have a wide foot in a regular cleat.

4. Congratulations. Football is a lot of fun for them. Hope he enjoys it.

Thanks!  He did finally agree to let me get him two sets of school athletics shirts/shorts so I can wash out that "sports smell" every other day or so.  He was planning on going the whole week with one set.  He said that's what everybody else does.  Imagine walking into the boys locker room!  Those poor coaches.

I was somewhat suprised to learn that the school district provides everything except the mouthguard.  Texas.  It's like a whole other country.

I donÂ’t think Maxine has anything to worry about.  If this country says on its present course, all of it, including the Tea Party will end up there.

Posted by: BackwardsBoy Well spoken, Southern Brother. I remember that speech, and with current gas and electricity prices, it does make one ponder that the SCOAMF is doing this all deliberately. To what purpose, I have yet to understand, but I think it is deliberate. And to all parents of school kids, may your kids be safe, may they make good grades, may they be shining examples in their classrooms. I send one to college today, and the other to 11th grade. I'm kinda sad this morning.

31 Is sports smell some type of noble excuse?

It's just what the detergent makers call it. I call it "OMG, *gag* stink, get that outside!"

That's the only real downside to the SUV, minivan, wagon/suv combo: when you need to bring home the football practice pants/jersey or the lax pads there is no trunk to separate the smell from you. It's hard to drive with your head out the window AND it's hard to drive while gagging.

I feel for you. DO NOT look at any pics from earlier days.

I took one to college last wed, one is in 11th grade--starts next week. I still have the 7 year old though--saves me from too much melancholy. However,  this whole week--look at me wrong and I just might cry.

If you look at his actions and the policies he has enacted through the prism of purposefully trying to tear down this nation from the inside..  It makes sense..

As to the why, he hates this country and everything it stands for..

Great article by A. Barton Hinkle. The State is not our friend. I am cheering on this lawsuit. In the narrative, I had expected the Rumsfeld complaint to be recounted, of the TSA agent squishing his balls. Perhaps just as well to omit distractions from the comparative point of responsibility.

The conclusion has a twofold Ed Morrissey apologism (the first last, and the last first). Americans have cheered when foreign dictators in Romania, Egypt, and elsewhere have been made to answer for grinding citizens under their boots. It would be curious indeed if American officials were harder to hold accountable. Really?! If they were held accountable for fraud, we wouldn't be where we are in economic ruin and never ending wars beginning to cover the planet /talk about the Domino Effect/.

Unfortunately, it is the exception when American officials are ever actually held culpable, especially within Obama's Judicial Branch that starts and pursues "inherited" groundless and unconstitutional invasive policies, forcing their unconstitutional policy down the throat of every taxpayer traveler for example. What is the constitutional process for removing AG Holder, if within the Judicial Branch the SCOTUS can reprimand him if not file their own grievance and try him for corruption of the office, and dereliction of duty, etc.?

It's too easy to scapegoat Mubarak or Gaddafi without accounting for the degree of security (as uncomfortable for coups as for foreign/domestic terrorists) that populations (domestic and foreign including Americans in Egypt) and lawful trade enjoyed during the past decades. Gaddafi, in particular, instigated the entire region's most successful and modernly civilized culture, providing Libyans a real infrastructure, the highest quality of free education and medical treatment, and a stable economy wherein housing and food was affordable. It isn't as if the next Western "martial intelligence" imposed Libyan regime will measure up to those high civil standards for Libyan quality of life, let alone free speech. (Neither the Afghanistan nor Iraq governments have proven viable for their own populations, let alone "better" relations with America.) It's whole cloth to project that the rebels will be more humane than Gaddafi with the Libyans as a whole or specific tribes. Compared to Egypt which kept its civilization's premise (their Military) intact, with Gaddafi going, the Libyan Military is already dissolving. There will be no smooth transition. And even given the Egyptian Military controlling Egypt today, the crackdowns have already begun. When Mubarak was there, Western journalists were protected though roughed up for inserting themselves where they'd been told they represented the CIA, truthfully or not being beside the point in mobs and riots. With Mubarak gone, there is no more Western journalist presence pumping out the seedy details of life in Egypt except to show that no one will remove the garbage from Cairo. Exactly how is the Cairo population supposed to be protected from plagues resulting from filth now that no one, not even the Military trainees, removes the garbage from urban population centers? If indeed they are given "free speech" then perhaps Americans can empathize with the population's frustrations from speaking clearly to their obtuse and deaf government.

It isn't as if the MFM ever reports the whole story. Rather, the government media complex fabricates and sells their own whole cloth propaganda.  Interventionist wars of aggression Globalist empirical-intelligence driven kinetic actions could be seen as Roman conquests supplying the media's Coliseum crowd their entertainment, ratings roaring for carnage. Though the MFM and State are bff, they aren't for the Constitution or for taxpayers. It's best to keep in mind who toys with our minds, lives and taxes.

44 I was up late last night watching archived clips of  live 9-11 newscasts. As the boys from Spinal Tap would say (from the Elvis grave scene)-

"This is thoroughly depressing."
"But it really puts a perspective on things now doesn't it?"
"No- too much. There's too much fucking perspective now."

So I am kinda depressed this morning, but also pissed off at our enemies, which is a righteous state of mind when one is at war.

The Internet Archive has an impressive collection of the news coverage on September 11, 2001 and the days that follow. As we are starting into the "Tenth Year Anniversary of 9-11" season, this archival collection provides powerful reminders of the attacks.

http://tinyurl.com/9-11-news

I hope everyone takes some time over the next couple of weeks to view a few minutes of the coverage.  It will refresh and crystallize your perspective of our enemies.

Stay turgid, Morons.

Underarmour is a good addition, especially in the hot weather, to help him stay cool.

Yes, this is  very wistful time of year for us parents. Post-college, my oldest has taken to heart the admonition to "go west young man" and headed to San Francisco. His twin sisters are a year behind; one at university in Queensland [our awake times rarely coincide, so we Skype about once/month] and I suspect she will remain there after graduation. My other daughter just returned to school for her senior year. To top it off, the 13 year old family pooch died three weeks ago. The end of an era.

50 Man, if Palin doesn't run, there is going to be a backlash from folks who really "believed" she would.  (Link to NRO)

Ames, Iowa — Political organizer Peter Singleton tells National Review Online that Sarah Palin will likely launch a presidential campaign by the end of September. “I believe that she will run,” he says. “I can’t see her sitting this election out.”
...
All of Singleton’s efforts have been self-directed, with no official involvement from Palin’s political apparatus. Still, he says, “We have not been on a lark. But we are happy, delighted even, to have people think that.”
