Rainy Solar Decathlon; Obama Urges Blacks; Presidential Golfer; Church or Jail ?

25 September 2011


A Very Presidential Golfer ?
Andrews AFB, MD

Hey, in case you missed it... President Obama got to go golfing again yesterday !

I'm sure he and his golfing buddy... former-Presidential golfer Bill Clinton... were deep in discussion between shots on the numerous ways he can say he will "create and save" millions more American jobs and get us out of this recession !!!

Yeah, right !

If the previous 23 times this year, nor the previous 81 times out golfing since he became Prez, haven't inspired Obama with dozens of successful solutions...

I just don't see how his next 82 times out golfing will help us either !!!

Do you ???

Solar Decathlon At The National Mall
Washington, D.C.

Well, let's see... it's pouring down rain for this collegiate "solar decathlon" sponsored by the Department of Energy... so there is not much generation going on (except maybe a whole lot of hot air being produced by students touting big promises of the near-future" lifetime of "possibly" FREE ENERGY... for a huge initial outlay, of course).

It was very expensive too, for the many colleges to build and send their model "houses" and student teams to D.C. for this "solar decathlon"...

BUT... never fear... "big daddy" (Dept. of Energy) with the deep taxpayer pockets has most graciously given each college that attended a "free" grant of $100,000 of our tax monies... just for stopping by.

I can't wait to see what earth-changing discoveries come out of this 1, 2, 3 or whatever-million dollar "decathlon" project !

Rallyin' The Congressional Black Caucus
Washington, D.C.

President Obama was in his element yesterday when he was rallyin' more of his "troops"... his staunchest supporters... at the Congressional Black Caucus in D.C.

He got them all fired up with his rhetoric...
especially when it turned from his usual Harvard loftiness...

to some sort of half-southern, half-from da neighborhood, and half-good ol' boy talk...

where President Obama urged his followers to "stop cryin' ", "stop grumblin' " and "stop complainin' "... and go "put on your marching shoes" to follow him into battle for jobs and opportunity.

He even threw in a few well placed "y'alls" just for good measure.

He will need their undying support come election time... so he needs to re-convince them that he is REALLY just like one-of-them (all the regular, little folks of anytown America).

It's not working yet... but it still might !

Maybe a few more "good ol' boy" speeches will do the trick... eh ?

Jail Cell or Church Pew... Their Choice !
Bay Minette, Alabama

Now, they're thinking !

It used to be "Do you want to join the Army... or do you want to go to Jail ?"

Now a southern Alabama judge is giving misdemeanor offenders in his district a clear choice, too:

"Do you want to go to Church... or do you want to go to Jail ?"

A clever twist on sentencing that allows the offender to have his/her charges dropped completely if he/she chooses the church option for 52 Sundays in a row !

Locally 56 churches have gained "parishioners" and it is actually changing the perspectives and lives of many of those enforced attendees.

"BRAVO", I say...
another American judge with values, guts, and some initiative for the good of all !!!

9 OCT 2008... Stock Market Crashing, Obama, McCain, Palin, Gay, Lesbian, Students, Taxes, Democrat Landslide

Dow Plunges To Lowest Level In 5 Years!
9 OCT 2008, (Yahoo Finance)

Holy Mackerel, no doubt about it... if the Dow keeps crashing like it did today, I'm gonna be out on the street with a tin cup begging for nickels and dimes! Or maybe I can sell apples or pencils or peanuts or matchsticks down on the corner.

Hey buddy can ya' spare a dime?

We are now witnessing history-making moves in the stock market... all in the WRONG direction!

One year ago today was the all-time record high for the Dow Jones at 14,100+ ...12 months later we are at a 5-year low (under 8,600) and headed even lower.

I'll be glad when this marathon Presidential election fiasco is over... so SOMEBODY, ANYBODY... in Washington, DC can finally get around to thinking about stabilizing this stock market rather than playing political "gotcha" on the campaign trails.

What a waste of money and especially time this election crap is becoming. Time that would be much better spent with all the genius senators (and our oh-so-brilliant congressmen, too) back in DC doing their jobs... for their constituents... for a change.

The great and wise Mark Twain once said,
"Politicians are like baby diapers: they need to be changed often... and for the same reason!"

How sadly true it has become.

Chicago Plans School For Gay Students.
9 OCT 2008, (Telegraph.co.UK)

That's just great.
My great State of Illinois - (nearing bankruptcy because of our glorious Gov. Blagojevich) - is proposing a separate school now for the "gay" students in the Chicago area so their feelings will be more understood and they can learn about gay and lesbian "role models".

Wake up people... high school is for learning to actually read, write, and 'rithmetic enough to get your little butts out into the real world and get a job. Save all your liberal sexual experimentation for the college campuses, gay bars, or internet dating... and how about you try a few worthwhile role models like Shakespeare, Archimedes, DaVinci, Einstein, Beethoven, Plato, and Galileo, etcetera.

What's next... separate schools for kids with acne, or kids who stutter, or kids with crooked teeth? Just so they won't feel "different" around the other students and they won't get teased?

The article says the school will be open to all students and would probably end up with a "majority of straight" students anyway.
Well, gee... that sounds to me like a Chicago public school as it is already... so, WHY waste more of our dwindling State tax dollars on this ridiculous proposal?

Quit worrying about this stuff... Quit promoting "gayism" in minors... and start teaching Illinois kids how to read and write and... graduate!!!

Dem Strategists See Landslide.
9 OCT 2008, (Politico.com)

Proverbially... Senator John McCain's campaign needs to...

--- get on the stick, get off the pot, get a move on, get jiggy with it, hightail it, start highstepping, pick up the pace, kick it in gear, light a fire under it, start picking 'em up and putting 'em down, shove the pedal to the metal, get the lead out, use some elbow grease, start showing a**holes and elbows, up and at 'em, pump up the action, get raring to go, pick up a head of steam... but start DOING SOMETHING !!!

Time is running out and Sen. Obama is pulling away. The tanking economy is giving Obama's campaign a horendous "blessing" and boost in those swayable "battleground states".

Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin must get out there and pitch their plans and values for the future of America... all will be lost if not.

There is no glory in being the "first runner-up" or "miss congeniality" in this election... far too much is at stake for the future of a free, moral, and tax-survivable America.
