For at least the last five years, global temperatures have been falling, according to tracking performed by Roy Spencer, the climatologist formerly of NASA.

Obama apologizes for Special Olympics gaffe
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama has apologized to the chairman of the Special Olympics for his late-night talk show quip equating his bowling skills to those of athletes with disabilities.

Appearing on "The Tonight Show" Thursday, the president told host Jay Leno he'd been practicing at the White House's bowling alley but wasn't happy with his score of 129. Then he remarked: "It was like the Special Olympics or something."

So, his bowling skills are right up there with his leadership skills.

As a sign of support, a group of small business people and high-profile motorcycle industry celebrities, including racers Jeff Ward and Jeremy McGrath, Glen Helen Raceway owner Bud Feldkamp, and motorsport design guru Troy Lee have all agreed to be on hand to purchase banned units for use by their own children and grandchildren."

Well, it is Ka-lee-for-nya after all. Expect anything less?

I can think of TONS of things on any motorized vehicle that are far more dangerous than the fucking lead content.

Woman Injured in Power Tool Sex Toy Encounter

LEXINGTON PARK, Md. -- Some sexual experimentation landed a southern Maryland woman in a hospital with injuries tough to imagine and even more difficult to forget.

Maryland State Police airlifted the 27-year-old woman to Prince George's County Hospital Center early Sunday morning after she was injured in an incident involving a sex toy attached to a saber saw blade, TheBayNet.com first reported.

The man who called 911 about the incident admitted attaching the sex toy to the saw and then using the high-powered, homemade device on his partner, according to the St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office.

The saw cut through the plastic toy and wounded the woman, according to TheBayNet.com. The injuries were severe enough for medevac, but the woman was released from the hospital Monday and is recovering from her unusual injuries.

Investigators talked to the woman, who told them she suffered the injuries during a consensual act and that she and her partner were trying something new and no crime was committed, the sheriff's office said.

You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation.

You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.

READ THIS!!!

I got this in an email. Very true. And here is the link.

Back on Uncle Sam's plantation
Star Parker - Syndicated Columnist - 2/9/2009 8:00:00 AM

Six years ago I wrote a book called Uncle Sam's Plantation ... I wrote the book to tell my own story of what I saw living inside the welfare state and my own transformation out of it.

I said in that book that indeed there are two Americas -- a poor America on socialism and a wealthy America on capitalism.

I talked about government programs like Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Job Opportunities and Basic Skills Training (JOBS), Emergency Assistance to Needy Families with Children (EANF), Section 8 Housing, and Food Stamps.

A vast sea of perhaps well-intentioned government programs, all initially set into motion in the 1960s, that were going to lift the nation's poor out of poverty.

A benevolent Uncle Sam welcomed mostly poor black Americans onto the government plantation. Those who accepted the invitation switched mindsets from "How do I take care of myself?" to "What do I have to do to stay on the plantation?"

Instead of solving economic problems, government welfare socialism created monstrous moral and spiritual problems -- the kind of problems that are inevitable when individuals turn responsibility for their lives over to others.

The legacy of American socialism is our blighted inner cities, dysfunctional inner city schools, and broken black families.
Through God's grace, I found my way out. It was then that I understood what freedom meant and how great this country is.

I had the privilege of working on welfare reform in 1996, passed by a Republican Congress and signed 50 percent.

I thought we were on the road to moving socialism out of our poor black communities and replacing it with wealth-producing American capitalism.

But, incredibly, we are going in the opposite direction.

Instead of poor America on socialism becoming more like rich American on capitalism, rich America on capitalism is becoming like poor America on socialism.

Uncle Sam has welcomed our banks onto the plantation and they have said, "Thank you, Suh."

Now, instead of thinking about what creative things need to be done to serve customers . .. . they are thinking about what they have to tell Massah in order to get their cash.

There is some kind of irony that this is all happening under our first black president on the 200th anniversary of the birthday of Abraham Lincoln.

Worse, socialism seems to be the element of our new young president. And maybe even more troubling, our corporate executives seem happy to move onto the plantation.

In an op-ed on the opinion page of the Washington Post, Mr. Obama is clear that the goal of his trillion dollar spending plan is much more than short term economic stimulus.

"This plan is more than a prescription for short-term spending -- it's a strategy for America 's long-term growth and opportunity in areas such as renewable energy, healthcare, and education."

Perhaps more incredibly, Obama seems to think that government taking over an economy is a new idea. Or that massive growth in government can take place "with unprecedented transparency and accountability."
Yes, sir, we heard it from Jimmy Carter when he created the Department of Energy, the Synfuels Corporation, and the Department of Education.

Or how about the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 -- The War on Poverty -- which President Johnson said "...does not merely expand old programs or improve what is already being done. It charts a new course. It strikes at the causes, not just the consequences of poverty."
Trillions of dollars later, black poverty is the same. But black families are not, with triple the incidence of single-parent homes and out-of-wedlock births.

It's not complicated. Americans can accept Barack Obama's invitation to move onto the plantation. Or they can choose personal responsibility and freedom.

Does anyone really need to think about what the choice should be?

I was listening to the radio this morning whilst getting ready for work, which is my norm, and the morning D.J.s fielded a phone call from a listener who requested a song. The listener - a woman - asked them to play "Fly to the Angels" by Slaughter.

But that's not the point of this post. The point is, the woman is nuts. The 'son' is probably better off having been aborted.

The woman went on to say that today is the day she, her son and her daughter all celebrate what would have been the birth of 'Jason'. (I think that was the name she used.)
Every year for the last eight years, they have a little party, go to Chuck-E-Cheese's, bake a cake, the works.

But wait! There's more!

Now of course, I don't know the circumstances. She may have sat down to take a piss and out 'Jason' came. Which I'm guessing is the most likely scenario, because 'Jason' resides in a pickle jar in the same room as one of her sons.
That's right, Junior gets to go to bed every night and enjoy the company of 'Jason'. On a shelf. In a pickle jar. The daughter at least gets her own room, but good gawd. It's bad enough the woman is nuts, but what the fuck is her son turn out to be like?

Ain't Technology Wonderful?

This is an interesting article by a doctor who is talking about The One's plan to spend a ton of money getting everyone's medical on some massive country-wide computer system. One step closer to nationalized (uh, socialized) medicine:

Will Computerized Medical Records Really Mean Better (and Cheaper) Health Care?

If the cheerleaders - including the one in the Oval Office - are right, computerized medical records will save us all: save jobs, save money, reduce errors, and transform health care as we know it. In a January speech, President Obama evoked the promise of new technology: This will cut waste, eliminate red tape and reduce the need to repeat expensive medical tests," he said, and he has proposed investing $50 billion over the next five years to help make it happen.
[...]

Of course, the "pro" group - including our current idiot in the White House - think it's just swell. Save money, time, whatever.

I think that it will have some advantages like maybe quicker access to a person's medical history, treatments, ailments, medication, all that sort of shit.

But this is the biggest reason the shit is being pushed:

[...]
Not surprisingly, nationwide adoption of Electronic Medical Records is being pushed hardest by those who would profit financially from it.
[...]

I would like to see a list - because I know there is one, of the special interests lining ubama's pockets.

Let me ask this though; it is going to give us better care, how exactly:

[...]
EMR (Electronic Medical Records) has the potential to greatly increase insurance company denials of the tests and treatments that doctors order. In the old days, the tests we ordered were done first - though bills for them might not get paid. Now when findings aren't bad enough to "justify" expensive tests or treatments, (according to sources chosen by - you guessed it - insurance companies) the computer tells everyone, immediately, "you're going to eat this." Might this eliminate unnecessary testing and save money? Sure. But who determines what is necessary? Who should a patient trust to make her medical decisions? Can the government or an insurance company be as good an advocate as her doctor?

Doctors live with denials, some of them dangerous. I've ordered MRI's on hospitalized patients that somehow never got done, physical therapy and medication never delivered, because of "unmet requirements" picked up when codes are scanned. When the white blood count isn't high enough to "justify" the hospitalization for IV antibiotics, the physician whose judgment says "this patient is sick and belongs in the hospital" is told his services as well as the hospitalization will not be paid for. When a doctor is convinced a test or treatment is needed, (and his patient doesn't have the money to pay for it) he has just two choices: wait for the patient to get sick enough to "justify" what he wants, or join the game - and lie about how sick he is. It's just a matter of clicking a different item on a pull down menu.
[...]

The worst of it though, is that it's just one more tool for Big Brother to monitor his minions.

• Your wives can't shave.
• You can't shower to wash off the smell of donkey cooked over burning camel shit.
• The women have to wear baggy dresses and veils at all times.
• Your bride is picked by someone else.
• She smells just like your donkey, but your donkey has a better disposition.
• Then they tell you that when you die it all gets better!

I mean, really, is there a mystery here?

Why?... Why?... Why?... The Fuck?

I just don't fucking get it. Why keep up this bullshit of rewarding failure?

Good gawd-a-mighty! AIG is going to get a bunch more bailout money because they're too big to fail. What in theeee fuck.

These idiots at the helm are doing nothing more than a dealer does for his junkies. They are enablers. And so is everyone who supports the assholes.
Let the fuckers fail. Let capitalism takes its course and let good businesses who know how to run a business without trying to make a fast buck and getting your ass kicked end up on top.

"And Now You Know, The Rest Of The Story"

Radio Legend Paul Harvey Dies
The "most listened to man" in broadcasting passed away Saturday. After more than seven decades on the air, venerable radioman Paul Harvey's folksy speech and plain talk are no more.
Radio legend passes away at 90.

Harvey died at the age of 90 at a hospital near his winter home in Phoenix.

I remember back when I was oh, maybe 12 years old listening to the A.M. radio and hearing this guy. He was on one of the few stations we would get in my home town.

I remember hearing the news with Leslie Stahl, some sort of mystery theater - which usually kept me awake another half hour or so with visions of bad guys in my head, and and some old fogie named "Paul Harvey".
But for some reason, I just couldn't change the station. His voice at the time was somehow mesmerizing and even a bit fascinating. The more I listened, the more I anticipated his next broadcast.

Anyway, I enjoyed the guy, and he will be missed.

"This is Paul Harvey ..., good day."
