What is it with folks from the Northwest? Most all of them are liberals dontcha' know It seems a lad was seen taking a leak in a Portland, Ore. reservoir. Being a young man at one time myself I've had plenty of squirts in the great outdoors(not in a reservoir, though). Heck, when I'm in my boat at our pristine Minnesota lake I carry an empty coffee can with me to fulfill natures call. Then out of the blue I hear someone yelling at me. It's a conservation guy and he says, "HEY, YOU PISSED IN THE LAKE. NOW WE HAVE TO KILL ALL THE FISH AND THE EAGLES AND LOONS THAT SWIM IN IT". Silly, huh?
But in Portland 12 oz. of a steady stream created a decision to eliminate 38 million gallons water down the drain because people demand clean water, or so officials said. I thought there was a drought in California. Unless I know zip about water why couldn't this water be transported down there? I'm sure the cactus wouldn't mind. Fertilizers are full of all kinds of poop from animals. I'd rather drink urine tainted water than compost.(which is a nice way of saying poop). Did you know that people in Romania drink human urine because it gives them strength and a viral life? A good advertising campaign from Oregonian officials might mean they could sell bottled Uri-Sip and retrieve millions for their tax coffers. The ramifications of this water waste is endless, and all because a kid couldn't hold his bladder. http://www.myfoxny.com/story/25266957/portland-plans-reservoir-flush-after-teen-cited

Deja Vu In Eastern Ukraine With Jews
If you're not sure what this is all about read a book from 1933 to 1941, Nazi Germany style.
"Jews emerging from a synagogue (in Donetsk) say they were handed leaflets... (by) pro-Russian militants who have taken over a government office in an attempt to make Ukraine part of Russia, ...(ordering) the city's Jews to provide a list of property they own and pay a registration fee "or else have their citizenship revoked, face deportation and see their assets confiscated". http://blazingcatfur.blogspot.com/2014/04/jews-ordered-to-register-in-east-ukraine.html

Casual Marijuana Use: Is Anyone Surprised
You've heard the phrase, 'the cart before the horse'. How about, 'ready fire, aim". The expediency to promote marijuana use for medicinal purposes morphed into recreational use. Now states are succumbing to the recreational use aspect. Citizens of states cheered with joy at their new found freedom to purchase it, any time, any place, anywhere. Already, in Colorado, there have been disastrous and tragic results: a mother died when she ate the brownie laced snacks. A child died when daddy, while high, got in an auto accident. These are only two examples but two is enough and these heinous 'accidents of carelessness' will continue. Is it true that cartels from south of our borders(if we still have borders) have set up shop in Denver? There seems to be truthful evidence to give credence to this statement.(if you wish to believe it).
Northwestern University has presented a study showing the impact of recreational marijuana use on the brains of young people. I always wondered why cigarettes are bad for a person but inhaling the green leafy product isn't. Silly me. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Lawmakers will approve anything that brings $60 million into their coffers every year via taxes.
"Casual marijuana use may come with some not-so-casual side effects.
For the first time, researchers at Northwestern University have analyzed the relationship between casual use of marijuana and brain changes – and found that young adults who used cannabis just once or twice a week showed significant abnormalities in two important brain structures.
Dr. Hans Breiter, co-senior study author, said he was inspired to look at the effects of casual marijuana use after previous work in his lab found that heavy cannabis use caused similar brain abnormalities to those seen in patients with schizophrenia". http://www.foxnews.com/health/2014/04/15/casual-marijuana-use-linked-with-brain-abnormalities-study-finds/

Bubba Watson At The Waffle House
The 2014 Masters golf champion is Bubba Watson but you already knew that. Mr. Watson is a crowd favorite. He grew up humble and has stayed that way. As an emotional man he'll openly cry when he wins a tournament. It is a given that he thanks God for his achievements. I suspect those are grounds for the Freedom From Religion hierarchy to hang him in effigy. Bubba is a simple man with simple needs. On Neil Cavuto's television show on Fox last Monday Cavuto interviewed a woman, a Ms. Katherine Talmadge, I believe. She is a self-proclaimed member of the detestable food police. Since she sells nutrition books I figure she was looking for free advertising. She openly chastised Watson and his wife for celebrating his victory at the Waffle House. Watson, who doesn't drink alcohol, chowed down on a toasted cheese sandwich and french fries, his very favorite meal. Talmadge gave him the 'what for' by setting a poor nutritional example for our children. So, it's Bubba's fault that a 200 lb. fifth grader is sucking down a bag of M&M's and guzzling a 32 oz. Pepsi. Sadly, Talmadge believed her little screed and Cavuto, as much as he tried, couldn't shame her into lightening up. I about barfed. There's a huge news flash for this broccoli and carrot queen. At the conclusion of his meal Watson tipped the waitress $148 large. Dollar to a donut(I didn't make that up)someone from the media will give him more grief for not giving the waitress a bigger slice of his newly won pie.

Would You Call This Race Baiting
Leading the weird lately has been Democratic Alabama state Rep. Alvin Holmes, who called Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina “Uncle Toms.” Holmes, who also has said that it’s fine by him if men want to marry mules and, while we’re exorcising demons, that white people are only pro-life until their daughter gets pregnant by a black man.
When Mark Childress wrote “Crazy in Alabama,” he wasn’t just whistling Dixie!
Holmes is a one-man book of quotes, but a particular statement got him in trouble. Not the Uncle Tom reference, but his offer of $100,000 to anyone who could show him that “a bunch of whites” had adopted black babies in Alabama.
His offer, which subsequently had to be modified, produced hundreds of mixed-race family photos posted to a Facebook page(7,000 to be exact) , “Faces of Families,” from Alabama and several other states. A statehouse rally of mixed-race, adoptive families also ensued. Holmes apparently has not been moved to retract his original statements. http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/kathleen-parker-erasing-the-race-card/2014/04/15/5d774e9e-c4da-11e3-b195-dd0c1174052c_story.html?hpid=z2

The Son Of 'You Know Who' Might Be A Sissy
This is a non-photoshopped picture of a "man" named Rory Reid. Is that a neck inside his shirt collar or is his head planted on a broom stick? It's difficult to comprehend that this "person" has a daddy who sits at the seat of power in our US Senate. I hope they enjoy their bazillions of dollars because someday soon, while sitting in the big house, it'll be as useless as a man without libido. His daddy and he made joint statements today about Cliven Bundy, the rascally Nevada cattle rancher. In essence, said they, "We can't have an American violate the law and walk away with it ". I wonder if this applies to 'the old man' who gave his granddaughter $35,000 in cash out of his campaign funds.
COMMON SENSE RESPONSES TO "YOU KNOW WHO" AND RORY REID:
“We believe in a country in which we are subject to laws and you can’t just ignore the laws we don’t like,”
You mean like ignoring immigration laws?
You mean like releasing thousands of convicted felons who happen to be illegal aliens back into our society?
You mean like ignoring the healthcare law and changing it every five minutes in order to improve Democrats chances for reelection?
You mean like ignoring voter fraud because it benefits Democrats?
You mean like targeting conservative groups by the IRS?
You mean like ignoring subpoenas from Congress and ignoring contempt of Congress penalties?
You mean like when a president says he doesn't care about Congress because he has a phone and a pen?
But most importantly, you believe that sending 200 Federal bureaucrats armed like SEAL Team Six to threaten a rancher over gazing fees is OK? But allowing 12-20 million people in the US illegally is OK?

More Dem Hypocrisy About The Koch Brothers
A Super PAC ad in support of Sen. Mary Landrieu (D., La.) blasts the Koch Brothers, but declines to mention that the Democratic incumbent has received more than $50,000 from the philanthropists since 2000.
Town Hall reports:
According to a recent Politico investigation into the Koch brothers and how they spend their money, it appears that the Kochs don’t just give to Republicans, like so many people believe, and in fact have given money to Senator Mary Landrieu. They found that since 2000, Ms. Landrieu has accepted $55,000 from the KochPAC.
As the Washington Free Beacon previously reported, Landrieu has received $27,000 since 2000 from Koch Industries, and another $35,000 from KochPAC, including $15,000 in the current election cycle. http://nation.foxnews.com/2014/04/12/dem-senator’s-ad-blasts-kochs-fails-mention-she-accepted-55k-them

The Nevada rancher who forced the federal Bureau of Land Management to back down last week may have been targeted because a Chinese solar company with ties to Sen. Harry Reid's son wants the land for an energy plant, several websites report.
A report on Godfatherpolitics.com, says Chinese energy giant ENN Energy Group wants to use federal land as part of its effort to build a $5 billion solar farm and panel-building plant in the southern Nevada desert. Rory Reid, the son of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, is representing ENN in their efforts to locate in Nevada.

What Voter Fraud In North Carolina
Hmmm! Is it the War on Women or Homophobia? Is it immigration or global warming? A certain political party is looking for an issue that will stick. It seems the Big One this week is voter fraud or the lack thereof and voter ID cards. No, wait. I'm wrong. The flavor of the week is the race card, as in, all Republicans hate Blacks.
I present the following information from the State of North Carolina:
It’s an article of the faith of the Democrats that voter fraud is nothing to worry about because it never happens. Kim Strach, the North Carolina director of elections, has living proof — and some dead proof — otherwise.
She has identified 35,750 persons who voted in North Carolina sharing a name and birth date with someone who voted in another state in 2012. Another 81 North Carolinians voted after they died. Ghosts have no constitutional rights, not yet, but Barack Obama and the Democrats think rigor mortis need not keep voters from practicing good citizenship.

The War On Catholicism
I made the mistake of watching Sixty Minutes after the conclusion of yesterday's Masters golf tournament. It was my own fault because I was too lazy to get out of my chair, grab the remote, and change channels. Sixty Minutes has evolved over the years---for the worse. Maybe it has to do with the ever changing cast members. It might be the result of an increase in secularism in America. When it first began Morley Safer did some nice pieces, mostly dealing with art and the finer aspects of life. Mike Wallace masked his political leanings to be fair and balanced.
Being a practicing Roman Catholic I'm defensive for my church. The traditions of the Church offers more than any other house of worship. The Mass is simple and special based on the Last Supper. It is the gift Jesus left us for eternity. Last night Sixty Minutes did a piece on Pope Frances and the good works he's been doing to make the Church relevant in the Twenty-First century. As I sat watching television it became more intriguing as to where the Church was headed in future years. Then, Scott Pelley and his producers went where they always go--the sexual abuses committed by priests in the Catholic Church against the innocent young. As I write I'm not going to make excuses for wayward priests. They are human beings. They screw up. Humans from all walks of life are sinners. Priests are sinners. I'm a sinner. However, priests have the ability to perform the sacrament called Transubstantiation, the changing of bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ. CBS and the rest of the MSM are on a mission to destroy the Catholic Church, plain and simple.
As a former high school teacher of twenty years I am still appalled at the number of instructors who preyed on young girls and boys under the age of 18 in my places of employment. In one Catholic high school alone, I was aware of two high school students who had sexual relations with two male teachers. One of the teachers was married and the other about to be. The result of these crimes came to nothing. I don't know if the administration knew the full details but the faculty and students surely did. In every school in which I taught minus one, six of them in all, I can tell you horror stories of adult predators, both male and female; those who should have gone to jail for rape. Schools, public and private, are reluctant to expose these sexual predators for fear of bringing negative attention to their institutions. And yet, little is heard about this locally or nationally. In essence, there are thousands more predator teachers than there are priests. I'm throwing out a figure based on my own recollection but I once read that the number of predator priests worldwide was somewhere around 0.047%. Since 1950 the percentage of priests who are pedophiles or accused of pedophilia numbered 4%. http://www.religioustolerance.org/clergy_sex8.htm This is hardly grounds for a religious backlash. You might be interested in knowing that in 2013, 209 Protestant ministers were accused of sexual indiscretion. As Casey Stengel once said, "If you don't believe me you can look it up" There is a real war going in in this country and it's a War on Catholicism. The Catholic Church has done more to bring healthcare, aid to the sick and distressed, the giving of charitable works than any other institutions in the history of this country. In the state of New York alone, there are over four hundred organized Catholic groups run by nuns and private individuals who support programs for the sick, destitute and mentally challenged without relying on government aid. They run orphanages and food banks and a myriad of other programs all done for the benefit of humanity. The Catholic Church should be praised by all segments of society for what they do. Try and tell me about any Islamic groups who come close to doing what the Catholic Church does. The truth is you can't and neither can anyone else.
I pulled an article from the New York Post of yesterday detailing sexual abuses in NYC over the past few years. I can understand why the Post would do this. They are more mainstream. What I am waiting on is for other news organizations to follow suit. I won't hold my breath.
From the New York Post:
"More than 100 New York City teachers, administrators and other school staffers have been caught in the last five years engaging in sexual or “inappropriate” relationships with students, The Post has learned.
The special commissioner of investigation for city schools, Richard Condon, has fielded 593 complaints about such illicit relationships since April 2009. His office substantiated 104 cases, it revealed Friday". http://nypost.com/2014/04/13/school-probe-finds-104-staff-student-flings-since-2009/?

Harry Reid, Son, Intergral In Nevada Land Grab From Cattleman For Personal Gain
Photo Credit: Free Republic
Harry Reid and his eldest son, reports indicate, were integral in the support and/or implementation of a $5 billion solar plant being built in the county by a Chinese company.Officially, the federal agency has suggested they are only after Bundy because his cattle are a threat to an endangered species of tortoise. That narrative, however, fell apart in the opinion of many critics when it was revealed the agency itself has engaged in the widespread slaughter of the animal.
The recent allegations of Reid’s hand in the Bundy attack are bolstered by the fact that his former senior adviser also served as the director of the BLM(Bureau of Land Management). According to reports, Reid successfully redrew the endangered tortoise’s protected habitat to benefit a donor, indicating his concern is more about his political and financial future than the well-being of this reptile

Sylvia Burwell, Garbage Digger
President Obama on Friday formally nominated **Sylvia Mathews Burwell to head the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) following the botched resignation of Kathleen Sebelius.
Burwell served in several positions under the Bill Clinton administration, including as a deputy aide to then-budget director Jack Lew. In July 1995, Burwell (then Sylvia Mathews) was one of several key aides questioned by the Senate Whitewater Committee regarding the death of deputy White House counsel Vince Foster.
Under questioning, Sylvia Mathews and her colleagues denied impeding a police investigation into Foster’s death after his body was found in a northern Virginia park. According to the New York Times, Mathews testified “in laborious detail about what she had found in Mr. Foster’s garbage on the night he died.”

This 'n That In And Around Dublin Ohio
What a beautiful community is the Emerald City of Dublin, Ohio. This morning was like a lazy summer day so I visited the driving range at my golf club. Afterwards, driving home, I took my secret route. Nobody knows about it except me--I thought. There is no traffic on this road and I was near my homeward bound cutoff backroad expecting to be home in twenty minutes. Unfortunately, there was an accident up ahead and the fifty cars in front of me were at a dead stop with nowhere to go. I decided to backtrack, making a U-turn on the opposite lane. The only alternative highway to our condo is Sawmill Road. It's a living nightmare. From Powell Road going south to the I-270 Freeway is four miles. Forty-five minutes later I was still on Sawmill. This street would rival anything Los Angeles has to offer. Such patience needs to be rewarded. Please, God, before I go to bed tonight reward me. It should be noted that the interminable drive did not involve one tiny bit of swearing; not even a 'dang'.
The stop light at Sawmill and Seldom Seen Road turned red and so did I. Are you as sick of hearing Dr. Neil Clark Warren talk about all the wonderful marriages he's created with EHarmony? Why, the guy's a regular Marryin' Sam. The same goes for, is it All-State insurance, the one with the agent wearing khakis and it's three in the morning. Enough, please.
Have you ever considered how much gas is wasted by people waiting in line at fast food restaurants. Why is it they don't park, jump out of their cars and pick up their sandwiches then hurry back to their vehicles? All across the US this is happening every day creating a serious waste of money and fuel.
Were you aware that food prices have risen 18% in the last five years while incomes have gone up only 3%? It's a struggle to understand that in 2009 the price of gasoline was $1.87. This week I filled up at $3.80 and the bill came to over $52.00. WTVN radio in Columbus told me this.
On the radio last week there was a news story stating that from Dublin north for twenty miles to Delaware, Ohio is the fastest growing area in the United States. Do you know what that means to me? Higher taxes for schools, streets, fire and police services, etc., etc., etc. As much as I love Dublin and Columbus, Ohio(5th highest tax base in the country) I've come to a conclusion. Texas---here we come. They have my kind of taxes, people, weather and politics and best of all we'll be close to our Texas grandchildren.
At Sawmill and Hard Road Kirk Cameron entered my mind. He's the former child star from the TV show, Growing Pains. He's also an atheist turned Christian. I once heard him say about atheists: "How can they hate so much someone who doesn't exist"? It makes sense to me. It's sort of like hating Martians. Then, I thought about the existence of God. It's really quite simple. There's an order to our universe. We have the seasons; cold in winter and hot in summer except below the equator and then it's reversed.(If you want an easy out on this then look up Pascal's Wager) The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Halley's Comet appears every 76 years on the same path in our sky. Without God planets and stars would be constantly crashing into each other and us.
My heart swells with joy when I see Special Olympics kids out on the street seeking donations. At a stoplight a sweet child with Down Syndrome was carrying a large bucket. Since I was in a far lane away from her it crossed my mind that I'd bypass the giving this one time; not putting her in the way of danger. I didn't want her to jump on front of other vehicles. She spied me looking at her and I could see that she was going scamper to my Mazda. She put her container close to and below my rolled down window and smiled the way only these children can do. After she took the cash I said, "Honey, be very careful going between cars". She casually told me not to worry and made it safely back to the median. There are two organizations, aside from my church, when I will open up my wallet; Special Olympics and the Salvation Army.
Driving pet peeve #389: How many times have you been in a left hand turning lane, let's say 10 cars back, waiting for the green arrow? The first two cars make the left turn at exactly at one-half mile per hour. Stage coach's in the Frontier Days were moving at mach speed compared to these drivers. It is infuriating.
It's in my best interest to stay away from writing about politics. I will continue borrowing from selected sites about the idiots in Washington but there will be no more opinion pieces about Obama, Holder, Michelle, Pelosi, Harry Reid, Al Sharpton, Dick Durbin, Maxine Watters, Charlie Rangel, Sheila Jackson Lee, Hank Johnson, Steny Hoyer, Jesse Jackson, Jr, Ed Schultz, Rachel Maddow---Whew! I'm worn out. Anyway, they're a waste of time and these commies make me buck nut crazy so why put myself through the torment.
Human interest stories, especially those I tell on myself, are more interesting to the general public. I hope it makes them feel better knowing there is a least one person more irresponsible, forgetful and confused than they. There is not a person alive who can do more silly things than I, past or present. Two days ago, at 11 AM, I purchased a $100 gift certificate to Red Lobster for my ex-boss's birthday. By noon I couldn't find it so today I went out and bought another. Some of you, the positive ones, will say, "It'll turn up". The realistic ones will remark". It's probably in the garbage that was picked up a day ago----and you'd be correct I'm sure.
If there is anyone out there who would like to edit my blogs please inform me of your grammatical skills. This piece has been edited numerous times and mistakes keep popping up.
And just think, none of these thoughts and actions wouldn't have occurred had I not found my way to that stupid Sawmill Road.

Were you aware that food prices have risen 18% in the last five years while incomes have gone up only 3%? It's a struggle to understand that in 2009 the price of gasoline was $1.87. This week I filled up at $3.80 and the bill came to over $52.00. WTVN radio in Columbus told me this.
On the radio last week there was a news story stating that from Dublin north for twenty miles to Delaware, Ohio is the fastest growing area in the United States. Do you know what that means to me? Higher taxes for schools, streets, fire and police services, etc., etc., etc. As much as I love Dublin and Columbus, Ohio(5th highest tax base in the country) I've come to a conclusion. Texas---here we come. They have my kind of taxes, people, weather and politics and best of all we'll be close to our Texas grandchildren.
At Sawmill and Hard Road Kirk Cameron entered my mind. He's the former child star from the TV show, Growing Pains. He's also an atheist turned Christian. I once heard him say about atheists: "How can they hate so much someone who doesn't exist"? It makes sense to me. It's sort of like hating Martians. Then, I thought about the existence of God. It's really quite simple. There's an order to our universe. We have the seasons; cold in winter and hot in summer except below the equator and then it's reversed.(If you want an easy out on this then look up Pascal's Wager) The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Halley's Comet appears every 76 years on the same path in our sky. Without God planets and stars would be constantly crashing into each other and us.
My heart swells with joy when I see Special Olympics kids out on the street seeking donations. At a stoplight a sweet child with Down Syndrome was carrying a large bucket. Since I was in a far lane away from her it crossed my mind that I'd bypass the giving this one time; not putting her in the way of danger. I didn't want her to jump on front of other vehicles. She spied me looking at her and I could see that she was going scamper to my Mazda. She put her container close to and below my rolled down window and smiled the way only these children can do. After she took the cash I said, "Honey, be very careful going between cars". She casually told me not to worry and made it safely back to the median. There are two organizations, aside from my church, when I will open up my wallet; Special Olympics and the Salvation Army.
Driving pet peeve #389: How many times have you been in a left hand turning lane, let's say 10 cars back, waiting for the green arrow? The first two cars make the left turn at exactly at one-half mile per hour. Stage coach's in the Frontier Days were moving at mach speed compared to these drivers. It is infuriating.
It's in my best interest to stay away from writing about politics. I will continue borrowing from selected sites about the idiots in Washington but there will be no more opinion pieces about Obama, Holder, Michelle, Pelosi, Harry Reid, Al Sharpton, Dick Durbin, Maxine Watters, Charlie Rangel, Sheila Jackson Lee, Hank Johnson, Steny Hoyer, Jesse Jackson, Jr, Ed Schultz, Rachel Maddow---Whew! I'm worn out. Anyway, they're a waste of time and these commies make me buck nut crazy so why put myself through the torment.
Human interest stories, especially those I tell on myself, are more interesting to the general public. I hope it makes them feel better knowing there is a least one person more irresponsible, forgetful and confused than they. There is not a person alive who can do more silly things than I, past or present. Two days ago, at 11 AM, I purchased a $100 gift certificate to Red Lobster for my ex-boss's birthday. By noon I couldn't find it so today I went out and bought another. Some of you, the positive ones, will say, "It'll turn up". The realistic ones will remark". It's probably in the garbage that was picked up a day ago----and you'd be correct I'm sure.
If there is anyone out there who would like to edit my blogs please inform me of your grammatical skills. This piece has been edited numerous times and mistakes keep popping up.
And just think, none of these thoughts and actions wouldn't have occurred had I not found my way to that stupid Sawmill Road.
Are You Dead? Do You Still Vote?
President Obama is flying around the country denouncing the charge that his constituents be required to have a photo ID to vote. You're aware of the old arguments from the right side of the aisle as to why it's not that big a deal: driver's licenses, alcohol, tobacco, fishing licenses, bank related transactions; everything on God's green earth is ID required. The Prog's reject all of this as discrimination. Obama was in Texas a few days ago touting Lyndon Johnson for his passion toward the '64 Civil Rights Act and the '65 Voting Rights Act. It's magical how the DemocRat Party has changed the narrative on these two actions considering that Johnson had the support of the Republican Party on these civil rights actions. It was the Loser Party, led by Al Gore, Sr. and J. William Fulbright Arkansas senator and Bill Clinton's mentor, who led the charge against Black voting. It was a unified block of southern governors who wanted to continually deny black citizens their civil and voting rights.
One of the primary reasons for voter ID is the elimination of illegal voting. Doesn't happen, says Obama. "My ass" says MJ Hawkeye.

White House Denies A Meeting With '09 Ft. Hood Survivor
As President Obama spoke of old "wounds” at Fort Hood this week, the White House declined a request from a survivor of the 2009 massacre there to meet with Obama for a few minutes so the veteran could explain face-to-face how he believes the government has mistreated and disrespected the victims of that attack.
Staff Sgt. Alonzo Lunsford (ret.) was shot seven times in November 2009 when Army psychiatrist Maj. Nidal Hasan opened fire at Fort Hood, killing 13 people. Despite Hasan’s admission that he carried out the attack on behalf of the Taliban and revelations that he had been in contact with high-profile al Qaeda recruiter Anwar al-Awlaki, the Department of Defense has refused to classify the shooting as “terrorism,” which the survivors claim in lawsuit against the government has meant they’ve been denied Purple Hearts and combat-related benefits afforded to victims of other terrorist attacks. http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/white-house-denies-09-fort-hood-victim-meeting/story?id=23288867&singlePage=true

Commie Lovers Want Their Heroes Dead
By Greg Gutfeld:
"The quickest way for a commie asshole to gain weepy fans is to die. This is something I’m willing to accept, as long as it happens regularly.
"The quickest way for a commie asshole to gain weepy fans is to die. This is something I’m willing to accept, as long as it happens regularly.
But it’s no surprise that when someone truly awful dies, the cool break out in reverence. Which is what happened when Hugo Chávez croaked. On that day in March 2013, we saw a parade of misty-eyed celebrities and solemn left-wing hacks paying tribute to a dead guy. Out of the woodwork came a parade of Hugoslavians, tyrant-lovers who could overlook the heathen’s badness for the sake of coolness. See, someone can be truly evil. But if that person runs a country and you know that person well, it makes you kinda cool. It’s better to know Darth Vader than Doris Day. It’s pretty cool to brag that you just shared a burrito with a murderous despot, as opposed to a biscuit with Billy Graham".
And so when Chávez bit the dust, who did we see? Sean Penn. Oliver Stone. Jimmy Carter. Joe Kennedy. All decorating the corpse with wreaths of blithering blather. And no one blathers blitheringly like that quartet. That’s the worst set of four since the last Who reunion.

Female Mutilation Because Of Christianity
Where is NOW(National Organization for Women) when the world needs them to speak out against inhumane treatment of women? Where is Planned Parenthood? The War on Women in the United States centers around one aspect of our society; birth control. The girl pictured above lives in Saudi Arabia. In Muslim countries the lives of the female population is one step away from murder and a lifetime of disfigurement. This child has a exhibited tremendous amount of courage and faith in God. You see, she professed her love for Jesus in that Islamic country. these are the ones that mutilate female genitals and forces children as young as eight to served up as sex slaves and marriage to male adults. It is the Muslim countries that stone to death women who have been raped. It's called an honor death. Take a closer look at this child. Because of her faith in Jesus her eye was sewn shut as was her mouth. It's referred to as bodily mutilation and is acceptable according to Sharia Law. What makes matters worse is that this girl was a Filipino working in Saudi Arabia. The radical, Far Left organizations of women in the United States should be ashamed. http://weaselzippers.us/182383-report-christian-woman-has-mouth-eye-sewn-shut-in-saudi-arabia-for-professing-jesus-as-her-savior/
Too Much Eyeliner
Clueless as to who or what this is but it was shown on iOwnTheWorld. Can you imagine "it" saying, "Don't I look good"? Maybe she's on the show, "The Real Housewives of Mars".
She's only a part of American society; tattoos, nose rings, ear lobe holes. For me, she has a slight appearance to Daffy Duck.

Gluten Free Is For Catholics
Have you heard the news? I am now gluten free and I loving it. Six weeks ago my neurologist suggested a visit to St. Ann's hospital for an MRI. I absolutely hate the dreaded cubicles patients have to enter to have their brains scanned. The result, in my case, was nobody could see anything. I think that's an old Yogi Berra joke. The initial results of the scan showed interesting data. Basically, my brain is wired differently than, say, Einstein and, thankfully, Charles Manson. I was so fearful of the "tube" I asked the doctor for a couple of relaxing pills. I gulped two, came home, passed out at 3PM and woke up seventeen hours later. Relaxation of this kind was not appreciated.
The point of this blog is I visited the internet on the subject of MRI's, dopamine, brain functions, food, weight, feeling better and--- did I write weight gain yet? I thought so. At any rate, I gained a great deal of knowledge regarding gluten free foods. To my way of thinking, before this new found information was garnered, I was under the impression gluten free was for rich people; free range meat and eggs and crappola only the Rockefeller's of the world could afford. It's not, though. Gluten free excludes sugar and anything wheat from our diet. It also suggests an increase in fruits, vegetables and more getting more exercise. My, what a novel approach to good health. Granted, a stroll though the gluten free section of the supermarket shows that the prices are slightly more expensive so normally I would have scooted on by. Now I'll buy a bag of gluten free pecan(pronounced pee-can if you live in South Carolina) cookies. Sugar has to be the worst food a person can put into the human body. Two years ago this summer I gave up any and all types of food products containing sugar. After two months my neighbor offered me five chocolate chip cookies. Have you ever been mind numbing, sick to your stomach, barf induced hung over from alcohol? I have. It isn't pretty. I'm not talking about a throbbing headache(but it's there, too). Picture yourself with your head in the toilet the following morning puking into bowl. Well, those cookies did the same for me. I laid in bed all morning and that afternoon, experiencing what are commonly referred to as the dry heaves.. In the vernacular of today's youth--sugar sucks!
After these six weeks of not consuming candy bars and ice cream mornings are fun again. I awaken refreshed, looking forward to moving around. Guess what? Too much coffee is verboten, too. So, instead of my normal 15 cups I'm down to two or three. Last week Folger's declared bankruptcy. End of story? Not quite.
The wife and I were at Mass last Sunday. We like to get there early to be spiritual. It's tough going to our church especially if one is a "normal man". We live in an upscale part of Dublin, Ohio. This creates a personal problem when trying to concentrate on the gospels. For me, there are entirely too many female distractions at St. Brigid's. The best way to say it is our church is made up of many, many drop dead gorgeous women. You can usually find me with my head down to avoid temptation. Folks around us think I'm very holy. I would a better person if I attended a Catholic church where the lady congregants were lepers---clothed in burkas.
Prior to the start of Mass a parishioner walks to the alter and makes the weekly announcements; deaths, ill folks and upcoming news. At the end of his promulgation on this Sunday I heard these words: "gluten and chalice". Since hearing aids are a big part of my life and the volume was turned to low I looked at my wife and asked in my normal whispered voice, "WHAT DID HE SAY ABOUT GLUTEN AND CHALICE"? The wife whispered back at me, "Anyone who is on a gluten free diet can take a host without wheat. They are located in the vestibule of the church. Place it in a special chalice marked gluten free". This strikes me as insane. What next, wine in your own special goat bag?
So, do I now throw my hands up in the air and stop "glutening"? Is my diet down the drain because I haven't been eating something composed of brown rice? I can only imagine how those six hosts I've consumed, those the size of a quarter with the thickness of an oak leaf, have ruined what was a fantastic lifestyle change. Is the next step for St. Brigid's to put in treadmills instead of pews?
Who would have thought the Catholic Church would stoop to this? Maybe they get a kickback from Kroger Foods.

Cows and Methane Gas
This administration has made many inane proclamations during their five year tenure. This past week the EPA and the rest of the global warming advocates outdid themselves. We now not only only a 'War on Women' but a 'War on Cows'. Beef cattle(I'll call them that since those were the first words that came into my head)' are emitting an alarming amount of methane gas emissions into the atmosphere and our government is adamant that steps be taken to curb these cow farts. The fact of the matter is that more gas comes from the oral orifice than the anal but that's a minor point. My question is, how is this regime going to trap these insidious gases. Will cows be required to wear a butt plug? Will their mouths have to have a gizmo akin to what one with sleep apnea wears? Is this a waste of time that will somehow cost farmers bazillions of dollars? Easy answer for that one. It's a resounding yes.
You would think that with the MJ Hawkeye moniker I would be Iowa born and bred and you'd be correct. Your next guess about my background is that I know an encyclopedia's worth of information about corn, combines and cows. You'd be way off base. I was on a farm exactly once. My grandmother had a friend who lived in Fonda, Iowa(sounds like a farm town) and she took me to visit the farm when I was six. All I remember is that I took a chunk out of my leg trying to climb a barbed wire fence.
Did you know there are over 800 breeds of cattle? I wasn't aware of this amazing fact until I looked it up on, where else, Wikipedia.
I'm going to throw out a couple of more questions about our bovine friends hoping someone can fill me in because I'm virtually clueless. When you drive down a highway and see cows what are they doing? They have their snouts in the ground eating grass. I cannot recall any of our leathery friends with their heads in the air. When I drive by they don't make a move. They do not moo. They might emit methane but I have my car windows up so I don't know They don't look up and they don't wave. Their necks are in the downward position. Cows have been around for thousands of years doing the same thing they've always done---eating. So, why is it with evolution and all that jazz their necks haven't grown in the downward position and stayed in that position permanently? Makes sense to me. Evolution caused humans to begin walking on all fours then to the upright position. What am I missing about cows?
The next question is mindboggling. Cows eat grass(probably some bugs and worms mixed in), oats, hay, alfalfa---in essence, all grass. Why is it, then, that they provide meat; lots of delicious steaks and hamburgers and everything else that is edible. And these bad boys grow to enormous size. For that matter, all of our fury four legged animals do the same except for your random tiger, lion or hyena. But they could. One would be of the opinion when cows are slaughtered the eating part would be food that tastes like grasses. Why is this? So many questions and, at my age, so little time.
The next item on the beef menu is price. News flash---prices are skyrocketing:
The retail value of "all-fresh" USDA choice-grade beef jumped to a record $5.28 a pound in February, up from $4.91 the same time a year ago. The same grade of beef cost $3.97 as recently as 2008.
If you ask me cows are becoming extremely uppity.

Colonoscopies Are Fun(ny)
Did I blog on my recent colonoscopy? I'll be frank when I write I was quite concerned. It'd been seven years since my last one and after I received those results my doctor said, "I'll see you in two years". Time flies, huh? During my most recent visit to my GP our conversation got around to colonoscopies and why I had waited so long. I mentioned to him, "Doc, you get paid to remind me of these things. Get with the program". At any rate, I phoned the hospital and set up an appointment. The receptionist put me down on the schedule and then responded with, "Where have you been? You're considered high risk for cancer. Now you understand my reason for worry. Cancer is one of those words not equated with cotton candy.
It's important to make funny jokes going into an iffy situation. Whether it's getting on an airplane, climbing Mt. Everest or having a colonoscopy a person should use some levity in the face of serious danger and/or death. Prior to being knocked out I made a lame joke to the entire staff about doctor's burying their mistakes and then I drifted off into La-la land.
After the wife drove me home and was slowly escaping from my groggy fog I remembered the "burying their mistakes" comment. The shortest verse in the Bible is "Jesus wept". The shortest version for lame comedy is, "I cringed".
I've come to the conclusion that I need to rectify the 'cringe' situation by coming up with a few colonoscopy jokes for the good doctor. If these were original I'd go on Jimmy Kimmel but they're borrowed. Regardless, I laughed out loud reading them. They're my type of humor.
1. "Take it easy, Doc. You're boldly going where no man has gone before!
2. "Find Amelia Earhart yet?"
3. "Can you hear me NOW?"
4. "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?"
5. "You know, in Arkansas, we're now legally married."
6. "Any sign of the trapped miners, Chief?"
7. "You put your left hand in, you take your left hand out..."
8. "Hey! Now I know how a Muppet feels!"
9. "If your hand doesn't fit, you must quit!
10. "Hey Doc, let me know if you find my dignity."
11. "You used to be an executive at Enron, didn't you?"
12. "Boy, now I know why I am not gay."
And the best one of all...
13. "Could you write a note for my wife saying that my head is not up
there?"

50 Reasons Mohammed Was Not A Prophet
Why should the entire world reject Muhammad as a prophet? Here are 50 reasons, arranged by category (some reasons could have been listed under more than one category). Click on a reason to get the facts about Muhammad, or click here for a brief video overview.
MUHAMMAD'S SPIRITUAL PROBLEMS
- When Muhammad began receiving revelations, his first impression of these revelations was that they were demonic.
- Muhammad was so traumatized by his encounter with "Gabriel" that he repeatedly tried to commit suicide by hurling himself off a cliff.
- According to Muslim sources, Muhammad once delivered a revelation from the devil (the "Satanic Verses").
- Muhammad claimed that he was a victim of a magic spell that gave him delusional thoughts and false beliefs.
- Islam promotes idolatry (e.g., bowing down to the Kaaba and kissing the black stone).
- Islam promotes pagan rituals (e.g., the pilgrimage to Mecca).
- Islam deifies Muhammad by requiring unconditional obedience to him and by requiring Muslims to talk to him during their daily prayers.

Whatever Happened to Polish Jokes
I have to believe political correctness destroyed Polish jokes. They were the rage thirty years ago. I spent one year teaching in Wisconsin near Milwaukee. Beer, brats and Poles were a Milwaukee staple and it's citizens didn't mind telling jokes on themselves. "A guy goes up to his priest and says, Father, did your hear the story about the Polish Pope"? The priest said, "Be careful what you say. Remember, I'm a Polish priest". The man then says, "That's okay, Father, I'll say it slowly". You see, that would get a chuckle in most circles, especially in South Milwaukee where the most common name is Wisnewski. In today's society it's permissible to say the joke but immediately after an apology is mandatory. Either that or permission has to be asked prior to the joke. What's the old Steve Martin line: "Mind if I smoke"? "No, mind if I fart"? Ethnic jokes must be regional in nature. Sven an Ole are still around. "Dey live up nort in Minnusoda". I've a friend who lives in Hamilton, Ontario. The only jokes I've heard him tell are Italian and Pakistani ones because so many Hamiltonians come from those areas. I have yet to hear a really good Osama bin Laden joke. (But who wants their own personal Fatwah) Bubba jokes are only told 'up north'*. Would you tell a guy who weighs 350 lbs. in bib overalls a story about never having used an indoor toilet? The first time I ever went to West Virginia I mentioned how surprised I was that so many people were wearing shoes. And can you believe it, the man I told the quip to became upset. If a person is in California does he, when telling a story, have to make it about LGBT's or Hispanics? My speculation is they'd be about straight residents from Iowa. Oink, oink.

Lesbian Discrimination
BERLIN (AP) — A new burial area for lesbians only is being inaugurated this weekend in a two-century-old cemetery in the German capital.
A 400-square-meter (4,300-square-foot) area of the Lutheran Georgen Parochial cemetery, established in 1814 in central Berlin, will be reserved as a graveyard for up to 80 lesbians, said Usah Zachau, a spokeswoman for the Safia association, a national group primarily for elderly lesbians.

US Muslim Brotherhood Pushing For Political Parties To Promote Sharia Law
With an eye toward the 2016 election, the radical Muslim Brotherhood has built the framework for a political party in America that seeks to turn Muslims into an Islamist voting bloc.
‘Muslim voters have the potential to be swing voters in 2016,” said Nihad Awad in launching the benign-sounding U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations, whose membership reads like a Who’s Who of Brotherhood front groups.
“We are aiming to bring more participation from the Muslim community.”
USCMO also aims to elect Islamists in Washington, with the ultimate objective of “institutionalizing policies” favorable to Islamists — that is, Shariah law. http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2014/04/muslim-brotherhood-launches-us-political-network-to-promote-sharia-law/

And What's Was Hillary's Take On Homosexual Marriage
Hillary Clinton only declared her support for marriage equality in 2013. Before that, she opposed it. In 2000, she said that marriage “has a historic, religious and moral context that goes back to the beginning of time. And I think a marriage has always been between a man and a woman.” Was she then a bigot? On what conceivable grounds can the Democratic party support a candidate who until only a year ago was, according to the latest orthodoxy, the equivalent of a segregationist, and whose administration enacted more anti-gay laws and measures than any in American history?
Does anyone recall Bill the Horndog signing the Defense of Marriage Act(DOMA).

Eggs, Muslims And Easter
“It really bothered my two kids,” parent Majed Moughni, told the newspaper. “My son was like, ‘Dad, I really don’t feel comfortable getting these flyers, telling me to go to church. I thought churches are not supposed to mix with schools.’ ”
The school district did not comment and the pastor of the church said there’s nothing remotely religious about the event.
“Part of our ministry in Dearborn is to invite the community to let them know we’re here,” Pastor Neeta Nichols told the newspaper. “We’re offering various kinds of programming, fun opportunities, so what we can be engaged with the community.”
Fear not, peeps. I not a theologian, but I’m fairly certain Peter Cottontail was not at The Last Supper.

Question Of The Day
Smokers have to pay higher insurance premiums, they’re talking about overweight people having to pay more. I firmly believe that gays should be required to pay significantly more based on the health risks they have chosen. Think anyone in congress would push that agenda?

Boycott Mozilla
There's a news story occupying the airwaves about the former CEO, Brendan Eich, of the web browser page, Mozilla. Six years ago Eich gave $1,000 in support of Prop 8 in California. It supported the idea that marriage is between a man and a woman. My God, what a far out and crazy notion. In California a law was enacted stating that a person giving over $100 in support of a cause must have their donation made public. Someone at the LA Times retrieved Eich's info and 'outed' him. Because of this Eich was forced out of his job. He was the co-founder of his company but now he's out of a job because he was perceived as being anti-gay when, in actuality he is pro-marriage. That's a huge difference.
And how did Eich discriminate in public against homosexuals:
—“I never saw any kind of behavior or attitude from him that was not in line with Mozilla’s values of inclusiveness,” says the company’s chairwoman, Mitchell Baker.
We, on the conservative side, are familiar with the fake diversity litany of the Far Left. There is no inclusion on their part. There is no free speech, no exchange of ideas, no ability to express ourselves without being castigated as out of the mainstream. In reality the Far Left is Facist in it's thinking and action. Let it be noted that the same year Eich supported Prop 8 the President of the United States did the same except on a national level.
One of these days there's going to be a backlash against those who repress free speech. In this case a man lost a very good job, a lucrative position because a group of gutless whiners came under the influence of our homosexual society, all 2% of them.
I can see the day in the not too distant future when I'll be expected to cower in fear and speak in hushed tones when asked about my Catholic faith. It could happen.

Real ObamaCare Numbers, Not 7.1 Million
A triumphant President Barack Obama declared Tuesday his signature medical insurance overhaul a success, saying it has made America’s health care system ‘a lot better’ in a Rose Garden press conference.
But buried in the 7.1 million enrollments he announced in a heavily staged appearance is a more unsettling reality.
Numbers from a RAND Corporation study that has been kept under wraps suggest that barely 858,000 previously uninsured Americans – nowhere near 7.1 million – have paid for new policies and joined the ranks of the insured by Monday night.
…The Affordable Care Act carried with it the promise of covering ‘every American,’ and it appears to have fallen tremendously short.
…The unpublished RAND study – only the Los Angeles Times has seen it – found that just 23 per cent of new enrollees had no insurance before signing up.
And of those newly insured Americans, just 53 per cent have paid their first month’s premiums.

Sometimes It's Good To Leave The House
It's that time of year in Dublin, Ohio. This morning I gave serious consideration to building my Ark. (Seriously), the rain came down beginning in the middle of the night and it hasn't let up. It wasn't going to ease up and thinking about it's potential flooding was (awesome) to consider. It doesn't matter to me if it's snow or rain. Both depress me. Eventually, I'll have had enough then trek out into civilization to be somewhere and see people. Shopping is a good example. Two nights ago I told the ex-wife(see blog 12-15-13) I was going crazy sitting on my rear end watching television reruns. I asked her if she wanted to go to the mall and look around. "Negative", said she. So, into my Mazda I did ride. The closest shopping area is called Tuttle Crossing Mall. It's smallish unlike the areas two larger ones, Polaris and Easton, located in Columbus. It's a mile from our home and since gas is around the $3.70 mark I opted for the shorter trip. A swell place to hang out for real men are sports memorabilia shops. At my age I'd never buy anything with an autograph on it. I'm in the process of giving my collectibles away. My grandchildren are going feel like they have gold doubloons in a couple of years. I hope they appreciate all the money I've spent on baseball cards, campaign buttons, marbles, old coins and things hobos wouldn't pick up off the streets. It's (amazing) how time flies when a guy finds a guy place. I was only gone for an hour but the owner was interesting. I was able to share a few stories about some of the men I knew whose names he had on his shelves. It was an hour well spent and once again I was mentally rejuvenated.
This morning I found myself driving back to Macy's at the same mall. There were ads in this morning's paper I thought were bogus but my curiosity got the best of me and off I went to Tuttle Mall . I figured the outrageously inexpensive clothing and shoe advertisements were in the paper to sucker me in the store . The prices might have been listed but I knew when I got there they'd be out of stock and I could mail order to be delivered later. This isn't my style. I want to get in and get out even if I have to trample old ladies and small children to get it done. This was when I realized a dramatic difference between men and women. My wife and her friends can go shopping at ten in the morning, have lunch, then shop until three and make ten calls on their cell phones. After that it's a hunting excursion like no safari has ever seen until six in the evening. They then bring home exactly nothing. Not one dime on clothing having been spent and the ex-wife will tell me how much fun they had. What's the point? I timed my trip so I arrived as the doors opened. Up the escalator I zipped taking two steps at a time and immediately spied the men's shop. I'm a sucker for shoes. There is no reason known to man why I have so many pair. It's ridiculous that I own five different styles of Converse All-Star low cuts. Last year I gave away four pair of Florsheim Imperial wingtips to the Kidney Foundation. A couple of these I hadn't worn for twenty years but they always looked good in my closet. Peering at those shoes made me feel as though I'd had a job on the New York Stock Exchange.
I'm also a hoarder of things. When we were at my mother's funeral visitation last month there were hundreds of family pictures on a table. One of then showed my ex-wife, myself along with my then very young children. It was taken around 1979. Well, I was showing it to different folks when my nephew said, "Hey, Uncle MJ, you're wearing the same tie tonight you were in the picture". And then everyone laughed at Mr. Dufus. The next day I went to downtown Boone and bought a different bland blue one, the cheapest I could find; one that one set me back $35 dollars for a piece of cloth! When we got back to Ohio I looked in my closet and there was the same exact tie as the one I bought in Iowa. I hate when that stuff happens.
Today, in the course of one hour I purchased a pair of $80 dollar Alfani loafers for $25 and two sport coats by Ralph Lauren. The list on the jackets was $350 each but Ol' MJ snaked them out of Macy's for $53 apiece. Better yet, I schmoozed with the saleslady and she gave me another 20% discount. If you go to Macy's ask for Susan. She's a peach. I then left Macy's with a smile on my face. Had it been women shopping they'd still be talking about which bracelet is cuter and looking forward to their latte's with five more hours of boredom shopping and wearing blisters on their feet. As for me, I returned home, assumed the prone position and did what I do best---nap. It's what men are supposed to do and we do it very well.

Ft. Hood Still A Gun Free Zone
Barack Obama termed the 2009 Islamic terrorist attack – workplace violence.
Complete lunacy.
After the first mass killing nothing changed. Fort Hood is still a gun-free zone. President Bill Clinton’s gun-free policies are still in place.
Today there was another mass shooting at Fort Hood.
Soldiers were told to take cover and hide like cowards as a crazed gunman shot at least 14 Americans on base.
The shooter, Ivan Lopez, then shot himself in the head.
These deaths are the result of failed policies.
These deaths are the result of a dangerous “gun free zone” policy.
The Obama administration is responsible for this mass shooting.
They witnessed this before. They didn’t learn a thing.
Gun free zones are death zones. http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2014/04/barack-obama-is-responsible-for-latest-fort-hood-murders-a-gun-free-zone/

Barack Takes Bull By Horns
Count on the President to be front and center when a domestic tragedy occurs. Commenting on the latest Ft. Hood shooting the prez stated: "We're going to get to the bottom of this". (See Benghazi, IRS, Fast & Furious)
Obama was on his was to a Chicagoland $32,400 fund raiser so the "getting to the bottom" statement was the extent of his proclamation. http://weaselzippers.us/181572-obama-heads-to-32400-per-head-fundraiser-after-giving-statement-on-ft-hood-shooting/

Obama Admin. Running Dangerous Tests On Humans
The Environmental Protection Agency has been conducting dangerous experiments on humans over the past five years in order to justify more onerous clean air regulations.
The agency conducted tests on people with health issues and the elderly, exposing them to high levels of potentially lethal pollutants, without disclosing the risks of cancer and death, according to a newly released government report.

Why Can't We Stop This Global Warming Nonsense?
Let's face it, the signature reason for global warming is an assault on our personal liberties. It's sole purpose is to fill the coffers of the United Nations with our tax money. If we were determined to eliminate faux GW the armies of the world would declare war on China and Russia.
Read the following article from the Gateway Pundit:
There has been no global warming now for 17 years and 6 months.

Assessing My Audience
Every so often I'll look at my page view list assessing how many people read this blog and their countries of origin. I'm perplexed. When I ceased to write in 2012 this blog showed about ten thousand page views a month, not Drudge type viewing but not bad. Then, beginning in September of '13 when I resumed writing it didn't take long for the number of page views to jump back into the big time. I thought, "My audience missed me. I MUST be good". Two months ago I was receiving over six hundred page views daily. "Wow", my mind said, "I'm up for a Pulitizer". It was then that I looked at my audience profiles. There were days when I was getting more viewership from China than in the United States. It wasn't unusual for three hundred hits from their mainland citizenry. Could it be that a giant conglomerate wanted the rights to my site? Well, almost as soon as that began it was over with the ChiComs. Yesterday I checked in again to see what was happening:
The USA led the way with 580. I don't even know what 580 means. Is it for a week, a month, a decade? Sweden came next with 90. My vision of a young Elke Sommer reading MJH sent chills up my spine. Sweden was followed by Kyrgyzstan with 53. On this one I am perplexed. I know countries and where they are but not Kyrgyzstan. Out came the map. Did you know the government of, and I don't want to spell it anymore, is the most corrupt in the world. It was a part of the old Soviet Union. What country in Euro/Asia wasn't? So, who from that part of the world would read this column? I envisioned a fifteen year old kid standing on a hillside tending his goats. In one hand he held the bladder of a sheep while drinking rancid water and in the other hand he held an iPad. I used to receive a number of viewers from South America but there are so many government protests and revolutions going on centering around the lack of toilet paper they don't have much time for me. Priorities are important: leaves or paper.
I'll be blunt. I'm down to around 150-200 day, hardly worth the time to write. A normal person would credit his family for this number but I don't have much family so that can't be it. The only aspect left is that, by accident, people stumble onto the blog using google or bing. I can live with that. I only write as a hobby, anyway, so my feelings aren't that hurt, you rotten, corruptible losers.

A Feel Good Story About Liberalism
Seven million people are paying more money for less care. What a grand bargain. In my daydreaming of yesterday I tried to get my hand on liberalism and who would grasp the concept and why. Forget the foreign aspect of failed governments in Russia, China, Cambodia, Germany and Italy in the last hundred years.. At this point we haven't murdered millions of people---OMG--- except for babies. We're more murderous than those countries mentioned.
After much contemplation as to the why of liberalism in modern day American I can only put my finger on one reason why a group of people see this country as la-la land. Here it comes, folks. I get to blame it on a Kennedy. You'll have to be older than your late Fifties to understand. Do you recall this: "There are some who look at things the way they are and ask why...I dream of things that never were and ask why not"? Of course, it came from the lips of Robt. F. Kennedy as a campaign slogan, much like "Hope and Change". It's a meaningless slogan if you think about it. It sounds good but as we now know the question that always needs to be asked would be, "What kind of dreams and how much is it going to cost me. When liberals read RFK's words it makes them feel good.
My neighbor next to us in Minnesota is a lovely lady, God fearing and married to a Lutheran minister. She's a do-gooder. I was once in her cabin and flipped on the TV and it was on MSNBC. I started laughing and asked why? She said, "Because it's the only place you can get the truth". In between choking jags on my part she then went on to say, "We have to do something for these people". I'm assuming she meant the poor and 'doing something' meant higher taxes. This deluded person is the perfect example of why liberalism is a massive failure. It's pie in the sky.
And those are my ideas for the day on this subject.
After much contemplation as to the why of liberalism in modern day American I can only put my finger on one reason why a group of people see this country as la-la land. Here it comes, folks. I get to blame it on a Kennedy. You'll have to be older than your late Fifties to understand.

Do You Believe Them
So today, the day after the same administration that has cooked the books on deportations, and cooked the books on unemployment, the same administration that lied about Fast and Furious, lied about Benghazi, lied about “green jobs,” lied about last week’s meeting with the Pope, and whose IRS abused the president’s critics — the leader of that administration touted “7.1 million sign-ups” for Obamacare. Even going by the administration’s official numbers, the president’s claim is inflated. The administration only claims 7,041,000 — far from 7.1 million. http://pjmedia.com/tatler/2014/04/01/the-most-un-american-speech-barack-obama-has-ever-delivered/
Liberal Gov't Intrusion. This Is Not April Fool
The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee will meet soon and discuss new recommendations for healthy eating. One suggestion is to send daily text messages to fat people.
The Obama administration plans to send text messages to fat people and offer online weigh-ins to help the country’s obese population get down to what a cartel of career academics considers to be a healthy weight. http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2014/04/obama-food-police-propose-sending-text-messages-to-fat-people/
Rachel Ray: Another Phony Celebrity
I don't listen to Rush Limbaugh nearly as much as I used to for two reasons: It's golf season and that's a priority and, I tend to get riled up and life's too short. Regardless, I caught the last part of his show today and listened to a female caller talking about the food lady and television celebrity, Rachel Ray.
Ms. Ray had Joe Biden on her show a few days ago and got teary eyed talking about ObamaCare. She was so thankful for what Obama had done for her brother with the new law. Her bro has an autoimmune system and his treatments were too expensive for his family to meet the costs. Rush's guest was listening to a talk show after Ray's bawl fest and whomever the host was mentioned that Ms. Ray has a net worth of $60 million dollars. Isn't this always the case? Some of us are filthy rich but feel a lack of obligation for helping others. Quite frankly, I needed further proof about her net worth. You know how rumors begin. But, it didn't take much internet use to find that Rachel was is indeed mega-wealthy. Whatever happened to being my brother's keeper?
When my grandfather died there wasn't an iota of thought given to grandma coming to live with us. The old axiom, charity begins at home, is still applicable. Charity, what a beautiful word. Statistics show that conservatives far and away give a much greater percentage than do liberals. Liberals feel that even those folks in Mississippi, being Republicans, are all super rich. This would also apply to conservatives in Alabama, Louisiana, North and South Carolina and Oklahoma. That's what the great unwashed believe even though it's far from the truth. The state of Mississippi has a charity rate much higher than does Massachusetts or New York. California doesn't count because it's filled with movie stars and illegals so they can't be considered on for charitable giving list because they're supposed to be that way.
Rachel Ray might be worth $60 million today but that honey pot isn't going to end tomorrow. She's richer than your average US citizen many, many times over and will continue to be so. I'm certain there will be 90% of those who've read this post who have already done right by their families and didn't give it a second thought.
My next bit of research will be to check into the many charities I'm sure Rachel Ray doesn't support, It should be an enlightening quest. http://www.therichest.com/celebnetworth/celeb/tv-personality/rachael-ray-net-worth/
