Word Of The Year

Regarding the Wikileaks saga the White House has released a statement. It strenuously 'condemns' the release of the messages. Why, just last week the same thing was said about North Korea's attack on the South. This is why I so under appreciate our Leader; being wishy-washy and all that. 'Decisive' is obviously not a part of the WH vocabularly.

Wikileaks

Do yourself a favor and have some early bed time reading provided by Drudge. Pfc. Bradley Manning is the clown who has forwarded thousands of cablegrams to Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. The bulk of the leaks from the White House detail the handling of world affairs and assessments of world leaders. Drudge received his info from (gag)The New York Times so you know it has to be on the up and up. Sadly, many informants will be exposed and likely assassinated.
My quick conclusion from reading the Times four page expose': World leaders are morons, dirt bags and embarrassing be they in Washington or Timbuktu. Only by birth and dumb luck are we saddled with such dastardly, evil people. Good gosh, one would think they were the offspring of Queen Victoria and you know how that turned out.

About San Antonio And Other Things

San Antonio is the now home of my daughter and her family. They've lived in The Woodlands, Texas and Scottsdale, Arizona prior to this. Who knows where they'll end up next and when. According to my son in law it might be Olathe, Kansas, Des Moines, Iowa or Indianapolis. Of all the places they've resided I like The Woodlands best. Every neighborhood is shielded by large trees. I also appreciate the weather; very hot and very humid but that's just me. San Antonio provides very affordable housing. Property taxes are killers but the lack of a state income tax is nice. The River Walk downtown is appealing but if you've seen one upscal restaurant you've seen 'em all. I liked the Alamo because I'm a history buff. I don't Lord it over on people but I know more than most about our country's history I take great pleasure in appreciating what our forefathers accomplished. One of the most appealing aspect of SA and Texas, in general, are Whataburger hamburger joints. Mmmm! Delicious!.But----I have discovered an even better hamburger chain. It's Freddy'Steakburgers and Frozen Custard. Five Guys Hamburgers originated in Alexandria, Virginia was recently voted the best in the country. Lizzie and I had our 40th wedding anniversary feast there last December. When a store opened in Dublin I thought all my dreams had been answered but Freddy's is primo. It's based out of Wichita, Kansas and there are fifty either up and running or about to be opened. If you don't have a Freddy's contact corporate and demand one . If you're looking for a business investment borrow the money and open one. So, what does Freddy's have to do with San Antonio? Well, nothing except there's one a half mile from my kid's home. Ever heard of a guy sneaking out of the house to have a smoke? I sneak out of the house to have a Freddy's. The one thing I don't like about this city is it's a twenty hour drive to our Ohio home. We'll leave tomorrow and head up I-35 to visit with the wife's brother in Dallas then hit the bricks the next day for a one night stay in Nashville. People have told us, "Wow, Nashville, bet you'll be attending the Grand Old Oprey'. I say, "Bet I'll go right to a Drury Inn and pass out after driving ten hours". Thoughts of Minnie Pearl and her successors do nothing for me. Now, if Shania Twain happened to be in the area that'd be another story.

Portland Mayor Goes Politically Correct

By Aaron Goldstein from The American Thinker

In response to the thwarted terrorist attack in the Pacific Northwest, Portland's Democratic Mayor Sam Adams has gone into politically correct mode concerning Mohamed Osman Mohamud, the man arrested in connection with the attempted bombing. Mohamud was born in Somalia and is a naturalized U.S. citizen. He is also Muslim.

"Bad actions by one member of any group does not and should not be generalized or applied more widely to other members of that same group," said Adams, "Otherwise, as the biggest racial group in Portland, we European-Americans would be in deep trouble."

Mayor Adams misses the point. This isn't about race. For that matter it isn't about nationality either. This is a global problem. As mentioned earlier, Mohamud is Somali. Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab (a.k.a. The Christmas Day Bomber) was born on the other side of Africa in Nigeria; Faisal Shahzad (a.k.a. The Times Square Bomber) is from Pakistan and Nidal Malik Hasan (a.k.a. The Fort Hood Shooter) is an American of Jordanian-Palestinian origin. Let us also not forget that John Walker Lindh and Jose Padilla were also born in this country.
So what do all of these men have in common? They were willing to kill people (mostly civilian) in the name of advancing Islamic jihad. At what point will our political elite stop pretending that Islam has no connection with terrorism? Mayor Adams (and for that matter President Obama) ignore the cries of "Allahu Akbhar" at our peril. This is a problem that is not going away. It has already claimed too many innocent lives and one of these days it is going to claim a large number of innocent lives again. But how can you solve a problem when our political elite insists it doesn't exist?

Barney Frank: Tryin' To Be A Cougar

Another Surprise!!

Shock and bewilderment overcame me this morning as I looked at the headlines on The DrudgeReport. I had to scroll down the article before realizing the perpetrator of an attempted bombing at a Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Portland, Oregon is Mohamed Osman Mohamud AKA, a Muslim terrorist. Why is it I never see Caucasian Roman Catholics, aged 60 and above trying to blow up, kill and/or maim? Oh yeah, there was that one Timothy McVeigh guy. One nutjob vs. a zillion of the other kind(jihadists) dating back to the time of Saladan. McVeigh almost evened the score. I'll enjoy reading the follow ups from the Council on Islamic Relations(CAIR) on how the scumbucket kid from Oregon is being mistreated.
It's the beginning of Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Jihad and Fatwah season! Joy to the world, everyone.

Sarah Palin's Thanksgiving Message

My fellow Americans in all 57 states, the time has changed for come. With our country founded more than 20 centuries ago, we have much to celebrate – from the FBI’s 100 days to the reforms that bring greater inefficiencies to our health care system. We know that countries like Europe are willing to stand with us in our fight to halt the rise of privacy, and Israel is a strong friend of Israel’s. And let’s face it, everybody knows that it makes no sense that you send a kid to the emergency room for a treatable illness like asthma and they end up taking up a hospital bed. It costs, when, if you, they just gave, you gave them treatment early, and they got some treatment, and ah, a breathalyzer, or an inhalator. I mean, not a breathalyzer, ah, I don’t know what the term is in Austrian for that........

Oops! Those were gaffes given to us by Obama but the MSM failed to make a biggie out of these. Wasn't it cute of Sarah to come up with this? It's one more plum given us by The Lady to tweek the Left.
