It’s good to know Linda’s still wobbling around. She always appeared to me to be the kind of crazy woman who lives with 87 cats in a run-down trailer filled with mountains of trash out in the desert. Ronstadt said at a protest in Phoenix:   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;“Mexican-Americans are not going to..burp..take this lying down.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Well, it’s pretty certain Ronstadt will take it lying down….most likely with a dozen or two of Krispy Kremes and a Medic Alert to call the firemen to help her when she wants to stand up. From what I’ve seen in the polls, the majority of legal immigrants and US citizens support Arizona’s law. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Linda Ronstadt is a liberal wacko from way back. One can use her as a barometer on how they feel on any issue. I use Nancy Pelosi. If Pelosi is for something, I know it is an idiotic idea. If she’s against it, I know it’s the right thing to do. We haven’t heard…thankfully…too much from Linda Ronstadt lately. It’s too hard for her to talk with her mouth full. Fortunately, for us she carries around a bag of Doritos everywhere she goes. Rumor has it she is hooked up to an IV of Hershey’s chocolate syrup.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Liberals just have a big problem with that “rule of law” stuff. Well, at least the laws that benefit American taxpayers. They don’t mind writing and cramming down laws on us that Americans don’t want and cannot afford. ObamaCare and the unStimulus bill come to mind.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I don’t understand why Ronstadt would support illegal aliens and the myriad of problems they bring with them. Maybe she eats them when they cross her property out in the desert.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;There are two things I don’t care about. Both of them are what Linda Ronstadt thinks! Linda, stuff another Twinkie or twelve down your pie-hole and leave the productive people alone! Buuuurrrrrrrp!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8245522256728058065-4461793455907989421?l=bigjimb.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/feeds/4461793455907989421/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2010/04/linda-ronstadtburpdoesnt-like-az.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/4461793455907989421'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/4461793455907989421'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2010/04/linda-ronstadtburpdoesnt-like-az.html' title='LINDA RONSTADT..BURP..DOESN’T LIKE AZ IMMIGRATION LAW'/><author><name>Jim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04433746038700426841</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x-50A69E2UA/TpTaoqxoRaI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/RXjlpg-J7bY/s220/00010529.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245522256728058065.post-4179913898571549447</id><published>2010-01-29T06:44:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2010-01-29T06:44:15.964-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Ya Know he was a Constitutional Lawyer before he became the Grand Poopah!</title><content type='html'>&lt;h4&gt;Friday, January 29, 2010&lt;/h4&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a name="1644882958144136977"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h5&gt;&lt;a href="http://optoons.blogspot.com/2010/01/obama-tells-supreme-court-american.html"&gt;Obama Tells Supreme Court American Voters Are Unconstitutional&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RZxlYx1u9Jc/S0JOleAD89I/AAAAAAAAA_I/ytMsdCdnvkM/s1600-h/Obama+Argues+Before+Supreme+Court.jpg"&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RZxlYx1u9Jc/S0JOleAD89I/AAAAAAAAA_I/ytMsdCdnvkM/s400/Obama+Argues+Before+Supreme+Court.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Washington, D.C.--Following a defiant State of the Union Address in which he refused to deviate from a radical agenda opposed by significant majorities of the American people, President Obama told the Supreme Court &amp;quot;voters are unconstitutional.&amp;quot;    &lt;br /&gt;A confidant Obama asked the assembled Justices &amp;quot;What's the point of being President if I have to answer to a Congress following the will of a bunch of other folks I have no control over?

 &lt;p&gt;Democrat Marion Berry isn’t retiring quietly. In an article published in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, Berry is offering a warning to so called “moderate” or “blue dog democrats” about the upcoming bloodbath elections in November. Of course Berry is pointing to the 1994 elections that forced Bill Clinton to the center when he tried to play Obama Jr. in his first two years in office. However, in a Democrat only meeting with Obama, it seems that shouldn’t be of any concern? Why? President Hope-en-change said;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;blockquote&gt;   &lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;‘Well, the big difference here and in ’94 was you’ve got me.’&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Yes, this is what the arrogant marxist Obama had the audacity to tell Berry and other Democrats at a meeting.

He is a trial lawyer, he is greedy, he is a UNC Tarhole grad, he is a Democrat and he has the morals of a drunk Mexican. I know, I know, that’s an insult to drunk Mexicans! I can look forward to a nasty-gram from the Council of Drunk Mexicans tomorrow. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Edwards confessed yesterday in a statement:   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;“I am Quinn’s father. I will do everything in my power to provide her with the love and support she deserves. It was wrong for me ever to deny she was my daughter, and hopefully one day, when she understands, she will forgive me.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;She’ll understand her biological father is a scumbag who forced one of his friends to lie and accept responsibility for the child as not to hurt Edward’s political chances of being President. What’s really interesting and obvious is the upcoming book is the only reason Edwards is accepting responsibility of the child. Yes, I’m sure she’ll have some wonderful things to discuss with Johnny “when she understands.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;As for the mother, Rielle (real name Lisa Druck), she is a moonbeam Edwards met in a bar and later hired to do video for his campaign. Maybe she had certain…ummm talents…beneficial to the campaign. One thing that crosses my mind. This guy Edwards lives in a house that takes up half of North Carolina. He won gazillions of dollars suing tobacco companies. Hasn’t he ever heard of rubbers? Damn son!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Politico reports Edwards “appears largely to be seeking a more private redemption with low-profile charity work in El Salvador, which he’s visited three times, and now in Haiti. Oh my Lawd, Edwards has done gone and got da Latin Fevah! In a year, there will be hundreds of little ninos in El Salvador with perfect hair running around looking for Papa Juan! And Haiti? John’s got the jungle fever too!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;A word of advice. John, just slink away to your million square foot mansion and hope that one day nobody remembers your name. Get rid of your fake, phony wife so you can “hike the Appalachians” to your heart’s extent. Hell, maybe you can hook up with your wingmen Bubba Clintoon and Mark Sanford. Bootylicious womerns have done ruint their minds too!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8245522256728058065-3332622517293623749?l=bigjimb.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/feeds/3332622517293623749/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2010/01/father-of-years-john-edwards.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/3332622517293623749'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/3332622517293623749'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2010/01/father-of-years-john-edwards.html' title='FATHER OF THE YEARS – JOHN EDWARDS!'/><author><name>Jim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04433746038700426841</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x-50A69E2UA/TpTaoqxoRaI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/RXjlpg-J7bY/s220/00010529.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245522256728058065.post-412875311237631235</id><published>2009-12-27T19:33:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2009-12-27T19:33:49.628-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Sea Of Greed</title><content type='html'>Check out this SlideShare Presentation: &lt;div style="width:425px;text-align:left" id="__ss_437776"&gt;&lt;a style="font:14px Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif;display:block;margin:12px 0 3px 0;text-decoration:underline;" href="http://www.slideshare.net/sarahintampa/sea-of-greed" title="Sea Of Greed"&gt;Sea Of Greed&lt;/a&gt;&lt;object style="margin:0px" width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://static.slidesharecdn.com/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=sea-of-greed-1212166166035446-8&amp;stripped_title=sea-of-greed" /&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/&gt;&lt;embed src="http://static.slidesharecdn.com/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=sea-of-greed-1212166166035446-8&amp;stripped_title=sea-of-greed" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div style="font-size:11px;font-family:tahoma,arial;height:26px;padding-top:2px;"&gt;View more &lt;a style="text-decoration:underline;" href="http://www.slideshare.net/"&gt;presentations&lt;/a&gt; from &lt;a style="text-decoration:underline;" href="http://www.slideshare.net/sarahintampa"&gt;sarahintampa&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8245522256728058065-412875311237631235?l=bigjimb.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/feeds/412875311237631235/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/12/sea-of-greed.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/412875311237631235'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/412875311237631235'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/12/sea-of-greed.html' title='Sea Of Greed'/><author><name>Jim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04433746038700426841</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x-50A69E2UA/TpTaoqxoRaI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/RXjlpg-J7bY/s220/00010529.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245522256728058065.post-8755465718384263004</id><published>2009-11-21T19:35:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-21T19:35:14.044-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Oh No: Obama Bowing Again</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9Bx0L3n3uAo/SwaveEUJTMI/AAAAAAAAGfE/P5iBuGgsYDU/s1600/obamaking.png"&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9Bx0L3n3uAo/SwaveEUJTMI/AAAAAAAAGfE/P5iBuGgsYDU/s400/obamaking.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;This is getting ridiculous now.

The dog's owner said the white English bulldog died unexpectedly of an apparent heart attack. He was just 4 years old and in his second season as the university's official mascot.&lt;/blockquote&gt; Yes, folks I am sorry to bring you the bad news, but the University of Georgia's much beloved mascot has passed away. While &amp;quot;officially&amp;quot; being ruled a heart attack there are some who say it was from a broken heart after the season their football team has had, which was precipitated by their loss to Georgia Tech last year and the prospects this year looking even more bleak. Others think he may have taken his own life rather then being subjected to further humiliation.  &lt;br /&gt;Whatever the cause he will be deeply missed.    &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8245522256728058065-7882279200433563864?l=bigjimb.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/feeds/7882279200433563864/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/11/most-important-news-story-of-day.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/7882279200433563864'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/7882279200433563864'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/11/most-important-news-story-of-day.html' title='The Most Important News Story Of The Day'/><author><name>Jim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04433746038700426841</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x-50A69E2UA/TpTaoqxoRaI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/RXjlpg-J7bY/s220/00010529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1247sh7LYNE/SwbgUBC-dcI/AAAAAAAABV4/FIVgU9xxkRU/s72-c/UGA+VII' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245522256728058065.post-471698808611523619</id><published>2009-11-21T19:29:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-21T19:29:32.433-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Nice Going Shit Head…..</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1247sh7LYNE/Swheg-vb4tI/AAAAAAAABWI/L9UytD2h2RQ/s1600/Holder+Obama.jpg"&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1247sh7LYNE/Swheg-vb4tI/AAAAAAAABWI/L9UytD2h2RQ/s320/Holder+Obama.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;I hope Mr Holder, our brain dead socialist attorney general wasn't counting on any evidence gathered by Germany to use in the trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Germany says they are going to send an observer to ensure that none of the evidence they gathered is used since this is a potential death penalty case.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;blockquote&gt;A German government official says the nation will send an observer to the upcoming trial in New York of the professed mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks and four accused henchmen.   &lt;br /&gt;Justice Ministry spokeswoman Katharina Jahntz on Saturday confirmed a report in Der Spiegel that a German observer would attend the trial to ensure that no evidence provided by Germany would be used to apply the death penalty.&lt;/blockquote&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;The circus is coming to town and as far as Germany is concerned, piss off. It was 3000 Americans who died that day and we will decide how to punish those who carried out the attack. The danger is that other countries may take the same stance as Germany and our litigator in chief could find himself without any evidence to present at trial.    &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8245522256728058065-471698808611523619?l=bigjimb.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/feeds/471698808611523619/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/11/nice-going-shit-head.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/471698808611523619'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/471698808611523619'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/11/nice-going-shit-head.html' title='Nice Going Shit Head…..'/><author><name>Jim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04433746038700426841</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x-50A69E2UA/TpTaoqxoRaI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/RXjlpg-J7bY/s220/00010529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1247sh7LYNE/Swheg-vb4tI/AAAAAAAABWI/L9UytD2h2RQ/s72-c/Holder+Obama.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245522256728058065.post-7085939059472172663</id><published>2009-11-08T19:32:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-08T19:32:58.526-05:00</updated><title type='text'>HEY…….. MR.

And no one wants to call it an act of terror or associate it with Islam.    &lt;br /&gt;What cowards we are. Political correctness killed those patriotic Americans at Fort Hood as surely as the Islamist gunman did. And the media treat it like a case of nondenominational shoplifting.     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;This was a terrorist act&lt;/i&gt;. When an extremist plans and executes a murderous plot against our unarmed soldiers to protest our efforts to counter Islamist fanatics, it's an act of terror. Period.     &lt;br /&gt;When the terrorist posts anti-American hate speech on the Web; apparently praises suicide bombers and uses his own name; loudly criticizes US policies; argues (as a psychiatrist, no less) with his military patients over the worth of their sacrifices; refuses, in the name of Islam, to be photographed with female colleagues; lists his nationality as &amp;quot;Palestinian&amp;quot; in a Muslim spouse-matching program and parades around central Texas in a fundamentalist playsuit -- well, it only seems fair to call this terrorist an &amp;quot;Islamist terrorist.&amp;quot;     &lt;br /&gt;But the president won't. Despite his promise to get to all the facts. Because there's no such thing as &amp;quot;&lt;i&gt;Islamist&lt;/i&gt; terrorism&amp;quot; in ObamaWorld. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Read it all and pray for our future. With the clowns we have in DC there may not be much of one.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;(Seem to recall arrests made who were plotting attacks on bases in the U.S. and the bad guys were caught before they did their terror. The target in the last case was a USMC base in Virginia and I thing another in SC.)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;BTY; Sen. Joe Lieberman, an independent from Connecticut who heads the Senate's Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee agrees and said that he would launch a congressional investigation into whether the U.S. military could have prevented it.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8245522256728058065-7085939059472172663?l=bigjimb.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/feeds/7085939059472172663/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/11/hey-mr-president-this-was-terrorist.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/7085939059472172663'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/7085939059472172663'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/11/hey-mr-president-this-was-terrorist.html' title='HEY……..

What a laugh these media heroes are..&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;But it's a good thing Limbaugh isn't an owner because he is too divisive or something. Yeah - whatever. The same league that has had more than 200 of its players charged with felonies, who let a guy back in who was electrocuting dogs, didn't want Limbaugh because he said something that he didn't say. Here's what Roger Goodell had to say on Limbaugh:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;quot;I've said many times before, we're all held to a high standard here&amp;quot; - NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell       &lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;I would not want to see those comments coming from people who are in a responsible position in the NFL absolutely not.&amp;quot; - NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Now, as Paul Harvey would say, it's time for the rest of the story. From Big Hollywood via Instapundit-: NFL Owners Who Use the N-Word and Wet Their Pants On Stage&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;blockquote&gt;   &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#400040"&gt;And now a word from an NFL owner:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;blockquote&gt;     &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#400040"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“And the game done chose me to bring pain to niggas and pussy holes, they one in the same.”&lt;/strong&gt; - &lt;em&gt;I’m Real&lt;/em&gt;, co-written by Jennifer Lopez, minority owner of the Miami Dolphins.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;/blockquote&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#400040"&gt;Amidst the uproar over Rush Limbaugh having to step aside from his participation in the bid to purchase the NFL’s St. Louis Rams over racially insensitive statements he never actually made, is the fact that current ACTUAL owners of an NFL team have said much worse than the false and Goodell and his fellow Saints say nothing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#400040"&gt;….And she continues to earn money in royalties for her genius use of the “N-Word.” My guess is that those who took issue with Limbaugh’s imaginary racial slur are OK with J-Lo’s actual racial slur because she looks a lot better in tight pants.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gcA0ZuKGkI8/Stm8j2rPUVI/AAAAAAAAEHs/L9ZCk_-xA9I/s1600-h/400x248-music-fergie-lyrics-06.jpg"&gt;&lt;font color="#400040"&gt;&lt;img height="89" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gcA0ZuKGkI8/Stm8j2rPUVI/AAAAAAAAEHs/L9ZCk_-xA9I/s400/400x248-music-fergie-lyrics-06.jpg" width="142" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font color="#400040"&gt;...Goodell said of Limbaugh’s potential ownership, “Divisive comments are not what the NFL is all about.” Is he splitting hairs between “comments” and “lyrics?” Because these lyrics from a 2003 Black Eyed Peas [Fergie is a Miami Dolphins minority owner] song sounds pretty divisive to me:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#400040"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;“Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism           &lt;br /&gt;But we still got terrorists here livin’            &lt;br /&gt;In the USA, the big CIA …&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#400040"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;A war is goin’ on but the reason’s undercover…The truth is kept secret, it’s swept under the rug&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;”&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#400040"&gt;Nothing like accusing the CIA of terrorism and our government of lying to bring people together.

Instead of relying on one large strip club, LP needs to attract mom-and-pop liquor stores, motorcycle gang clubhouses, some adult bookstores, and maybe even a brothel or donkey show.

Reid no longer faces severe limits on his prison activities or communications after the Obama administration quietly ended years of hard-nosed curbs against the British-born al-Qaeda terrorist.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;This summer the Justice Department halted six years of measures that kept Reid from associating or praying with fellow jailed Muslim terrorists, and limited his access to the news media and pen pals.”&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Convicted terrorist Richard Reid’s prayers have been answered! Allah sent him a US President who is either a Muslim, lover of Islam or both. Reid was convicted of trying to explode an airplane bound from Paris to Miami by lighting high explosives hidden in his shoe. He was overpowered by flight staff and passengers and taken into custody. Now he calls the Supermax prison in Colorado home. However, due to the fact he is a TERRORIST, he has not been allowed to communicate with fellow terrorist prisoners being held there, pray with other Muslims and has had very limited exposure to news. Of course, his limited exposure to other terrorists and news has not kept him from filing lawsuits to get more freedoms.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;This past summer, the Justice Department announced Reid would be granted his requests and be allowed to join his fellow terrorists in plotting more attacks on America! He also has communication with the outside world! Isn’t that nice? Isn’t President Obama a swell guy? Reid is the reason billions of people have to take off their shoes before boarding an airplane. That alone should have gotten him the death penalty! That he tried to kill hundreds in a terrorist attack should have guaranteed the death penalty! President Hoop-en-change seems to have a soft spot in his heart for terrorists. He has released a bunch of them since taking office and plans to close Guantanamo. But further than that, he is going to allow the U.S. Attorney General Eric Ali Akbar Holder &lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SrbXFZCOB1I/AAAAAAAAAf0/n2s8WrUNlEg/s1600-h/eric%20holder%5B2%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img title="eric holder" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="144" alt="eric holder" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SrbXFw_oYgI/AAAAAAAAAf4/fjCeFearqxM/eric%20holder_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="100" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to prosecute the CIA interrogators who have kept us save from these 7th century savages!

NO FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR UNDOCUMENTED ALIENS &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Wow.&amp;#160; Can’t get much clearer than that!&amp;#160; It looks like the Big “Hoop-en-change” is right: Undocumented aliens are excluded from collecting benefits under the plan &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;But… &lt;em&gt;hey, wait a cotton-pickin’ minute!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;On page 50, SEC. 152 explicitly &lt;em&gt;prohibits&lt;/em&gt; discrimination under the act with “regard to personal characteristics extraneous to the provision of high quality health care or related services.” &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;In other words, undocumented aliens are not only eligible for ObamaCare, but their coverage is mandated.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;So what’s up, Big “Hoop-en-change”?&amp;#160; Quit jacking us around!&amp;#160; Are they covered or not? &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;A further reading of Section 246 reveals that the plan only disallows “Federal payments for &lt;em&gt;affordability credits&lt;/em&gt; on behalf of individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States.” &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;“Affordability credits” are federal subsidies that offset the cost of monthly health plan premiums for low income earners. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;So, in short, undocumented aliens are &lt;em&gt;eligible&lt;/em&gt; for the &lt;em&gt;plan&lt;/em&gt; under Section 152, but &lt;em&gt;ineligible&lt;/em&gt; for &lt;em&gt;premium subsidies&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Now, let’s do the math:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ol&gt;   &lt;li&gt;Though illegal aliens &lt;em&gt;will be&lt;/em&gt; prohibited from receiving Federal premium subsidies, they&lt;em&gt; are not &lt;/em&gt;prohibited from participating in the plan. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Every benefit dollar received by the participant in excess of premium paid represents a &lt;em&gt;deficit &lt;/em&gt;against the plan; and… &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;The plan is funded by tax dollars and benefits are paid by the Fed.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ol&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Gee… either the President doesn’t understand the eligibility guidelines of the Public Option, or he is deliberately lying.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;This is a &lt;em&gt;very &lt;/em&gt;misleading aspect of the bill, one likely to be quoted by Democrats and frothing moonbats over the next few months to bolster their charges of us “uninformed evil mongerers” spreading “disinformation.” &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;So next time some know-it-all Kool-Aid-drinker arrogantly bleats that illegal aliens aren’t covered under ObamaCare, tell them they are incorrect (or “full of shit,” if you prefer).&amp;#160; SEC. 246 only forbids the payment of &lt;em&gt;Federal premium subsidies&lt;/em&gt; to illegal's.&amp;#160; It &lt;em&gt;does not&lt;/em&gt; deny their eligibility to participate and/or collect reimbursement for medical charges under the plan.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;As a matter of fact, under SEC. 152, the plan is explicitly &lt;em&gt;prohibited &lt;/em&gt;against&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;denying coverage to illegal aliens. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Big X, &lt;em&gt;out&lt;/em&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8245522256728058065-6885034962208090175?l=bigjimb.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/feeds/6885034962208090175/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/08/debunking-great-debunker-obamacare.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/6885034962208090175'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/6885034962208090175'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/08/debunking-great-debunker-obamacare.html' title='Debunking the Great Debunker: ObamaCare Covers Illegals'/><author><name>Jim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04433746038700426841</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x-50A69E2UA/TpTaoqxoRaI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/RXjlpg-J7bY/s220/00010529.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245522256728058065.post-7324531704151726108</id><published>2009-08-01T16:06:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2009-08-01T16:06:13.477-04:00</updated><title type='text'>A Picture is Worth a Thousand Teachable Moments</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SnSgMr8wXeI/AAAAAAAAAdY/Ir4cO0u_6-g/s1600-h/image%5B3%5D.png"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="image" border="0" alt="image" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SnSgNIUFx3I/AAAAAAAAAdc/RhhXMf7ISQw/image_thumb%5B1%5D.png?imgmax=800" width="342" height="233" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;President Barack Obama, Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Sergeant James Crowley walk from the Oval Office to the Rose Garden of the White House, July 30, 2009.

But I'm happy to report that it has succeeded beyond our wildest expectation,&amp;quot; President Barack Obama said.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;There were people in the Senate who didn't like the program and they said 'We won't let it go through. We will filibuster. Try $1 billion and see if it works,'&amp;quot; Schumer said.    &lt;br /&gt;He said those senators now have egg on their face.     &lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;This week's evidence shows that people who said the program wouldn't work, who said that the program was the wrong thing to do, are very wrong themselves,&amp;quot; Schumer said.    &lt;br /&gt;And even the $2 billion extra voted by the House isn't enough said Schumer, who wants at least $4 billion.     &lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;'Cash for Clunkers' is helping jump start our weak economy,&amp;quot; Schumer said.     &lt;br /&gt;And get gas guzzlers off the road.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Blog comments;&amp;#160; Seems to me that this will do nothing for the environment. The amount of energy to make these new cars probably far out weighs the pollution from a car that gets 4 mpg better mileage? Sure sales will go up for the auto companies but then what happens after all the clunkers are gone? &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hey…and wait a minute…what about all the poor auto mechanics who keep these clunkers rolling? Will they be out of business? &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;What about the sales tax the new owners have to pay and the increased cost of tabs they will eat? Seems that if they could not afford a newer car then they may have problems paying for plates and insurance (they will now need collision coverage if they want to keep a new car running). And all this is being paid for by tax payers….&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;THE NEWS SPREAD FAST&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SnOYrQMe6qI/AAAAAAAAAc4/lF_F2pj4lh0/s1600-h/Clunker%5B2%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px;

A program to buy back old energy inefficient vehicles has apparently run out of money 4 days into a program that was supposed to last until October. You got to love government efficiency.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Transportation Department officials called lawmakers' offices earlier Thursday to alert them of plans to suspend the program as early as Friday. But a White House official said later the program had not been suspended and officials there were assessing their options.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These folks want to control your healthcare. This administration is posting one failure after another. The stimulus package that didn't stimulate, a cap and trade policy that right now is capped in congress, and an attempt at card check that got checked at the door.&lt;br /&gt;This morning Libertarian Party former presidential candidate, Wayne Root, was participating on a panel discussion on Fox and Friends talking about the near beer BS session last night and he brought up the case of the Mustang Ranch in Nevada.&lt;br /&gt;The Mustang Ranch was a highly successful brothel in Nevada, that is until the owner got caught for not paying taxes, and since he wasn't an elected official, got sent to jail. The government took over control of the enterprise and within a year the ranch was out of business. How bad do you have to be to go bankrupt running a whorehouse??&lt;br /&gt;Anyway there are reports all over the place of dealers not being able to get reimbursed from the government for car deals they have already made, that had been approved and now with word that the entire program may be out of money I hope y'all are enjoying all this hope and the change in your pocket. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;From; JammieWearingFool 7/31/09&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8245522256728058065-2783602540322518422?l=bigjimb.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/feeds/2783602540322518422/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/07/cash-for-clunkers-in-crapper.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/2783602540322518422'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/2783602540322518422'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/07/cash-for-clunkers-in-crapper.html' title='Cash For Clunkers In The Crapper'/><author><name>Jim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04433746038700426841</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x-50A69E2UA/TpTaoqxoRaI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/RXjlpg-J7bY/s220/00010529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1247sh7LYNE/SnLk1cXjQgI/AAAAAAAABG0/xOxAhTZh4YE/s72-c/Cash+for+Clunkers.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245522256728058065.post-5929150904847512357</id><published>2009-07-30T16:29:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-30T16:29:55.374-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Oboma really meant to say……..</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SnICwNeScAI/AAAAAAAAAcw/0MgJVjTU-4E/s1600-h/snob%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="snob" border="0" alt="snob" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SnICwRMhGvI/AAAAAAAAAc0/bP9s9YXbbFc/snob_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="212" height="315" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Obama: white cop acted stupidly like an inexperienced rookie, but being one I may be biased……&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8245522256728058065-5929150904847512357?l=bigjimb.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/feeds/5929150904847512357/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/07/oboma-really-meant-to-say.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/5929150904847512357'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/5929150904847512357'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/07/oboma-really-meant-to-say.html' title='Oboma really meant to say……..'/><author><name>Jim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04433746038700426841</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x-50A69E2UA/TpTaoqxoRaI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/RXjlpg-J7bY/s220/00010529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SnICwRMhGvI/AAAAAAAAAc0/bP9s9YXbbFc/s72-c/snob_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245522256728058065.post-9108285694664541673</id><published>2009-07-29T17:16:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-29T17:16:34.252-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Socialized Healthcare: No Drugs For The Useless!</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://thepeoplescube.com/images/old_couple.jpg" width="250" height="190" /&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Voice of progress: kill the health care hogs!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Kill the health care hogs!&amp;quot; is the progressive message we hear increasingly from the more socially advanced comrades in Europe. How many times have you stood in line at the pharmacy behind an ancient decrepit walking dead? Inevitably, they order dozens of medications and then pay almost nothing as our Government picks up the tab! How is one to deal with these selfish broken-down useless monsters as they suck the economic lifeblood from our Cities?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;As usual, the Europeans have been leading the way. We all know how successful their previous bold moves in socialized health care have been. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://thepeoplescube.com/images/rallies/No_to_drugs.jpg" width="190" height="143" /&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;In a true socialist society, a death of one elderly parasite is a equal gain for the entire community. You know…like leveling the playing field…&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;hr /&gt;&lt;img src="http://thepeoplescube.com/images/Testimonials_15.jpg" width="140" height="140" /&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SnC8MAC_83I/AAAAAAAAAco/dlruDh5ztDE/s1600-h/nakeddrunkwoman3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="naked-drunk-woman" border="0" alt="naked-drunk-woman" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SnC8MUjRgEI/AAAAAAAAAcs/M8V6zMQApmA/nakeddrunkwoman_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="196" height="153" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Me and my hottie like a good medicinal tonic now and then, but these oldies are out of control!&amp;quot;   &lt;hr /&gt;&lt;img src="http://thepeoplescube.com/images/French_mime.jpg" width="190" height="138" /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Medicine is like a fine wine, to be had by few and only on special occasions.&amp;quot;   &lt;hr /&gt;&lt;img src="http://thepeoplescube.com/images/old_woman.jpg" width="140" height="181" /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;I sleep with one eye open, else I get mercy killed by me son-in-law.&amp;quot;   &lt;p&gt;Not long ago the British Government took on a Health Care Hog who wanted to live on a feeding tube ON THE GOVERMENT’S DIME! This horrendous man, the so-called English Patient, sued to ensure that he will not be forced to endure death by dehydration when his paralysis kicks in. The socialist system must and will crush him like a bug for the sake of the common good! Indeed, if everyone in England gets a feeding tube, &lt;u&gt;there won't be enough money for social equality programs and global warming studies!&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://thepeoplescube.com/images/rallies/Kill_hogs.jpg" width="170" height="256" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Every day THE British see the useless amongst them demanding increasingly more than their share! The so-called &amp;quot;Alzheimer's patients&amp;quot; selfishly take expensive medications to delay the inevitable! Someone should tell these people that they have an INCURABLE illness. And in five minutes when they forget what they were told, we should tell them AGAIN! The Britons are screaming, &amp;quot;No drugs for the useless!&amp;quot; It is a&amp;#160; necessity that such ethics should also win over the backward individualism that still lingers the United States.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The most progress has been achieved, of course, by the French. We all applauded when the French said &lt;i&gt;NON&lt;/i&gt; to the human leeches with too many decades against them, as forthright citizens deserted the elderly for August vacation leaving the prunes to wither and die! I am so proud of our European colleagues! Not since the French distributed AIDS tainted blood to avoid the excess cost of a screening test produced by American capitalists have we seen such forward thinking!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The main question of the day is, can Americans afford NOT to adopt socialized healthcare? Everyone knows that the individual will never take the necessary steps; it is up to the State to do it for us. In a vital decision like this, do we really need to depend on the vote of emotionally underdeveloped 60+ year old geezers? Those incapable or unwilling to acknowledge the moral superiority and the ethical progress of the more socially advanced Europeans, do not deserve a right to vote. Voting rights shall be taken away from them old farts, as well as their medicine. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8245522256728058065-9108285694664541673?l=bigjimb.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/feeds/9108285694664541673/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/07/socialized-healthcare-no-drugs-for.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/9108285694664541673'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/9108285694664541673'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/07/socialized-healthcare-no-drugs-for.html' title='Socialized Healthcare: No Drugs For The Useless!'/><author><name>Jim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04433746038700426841</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x-50A69E2UA/TpTaoqxoRaI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/RXjlpg-J7bY/s220/00010529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh3.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SnC8MUjRgEI/AAAAAAAAAcs/M8V6zMQApmA/s72-c/nakeddrunkwoman_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245522256728058065.post-3665272251095524196</id><published>2009-07-29T17:00:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-29T17:00:45.552-04:00</updated><title type='text'>John Conyers…What a Guy!!!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SnC4e-pvCYI/AAAAAAAAAcg/6gAtz5FV490/s1600-h/Dunce%5B2%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="Dunce" border="0" alt="Dunce" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SnC4fdh7Z9I/AAAAAAAAAck/85T1rzllIjQ/Dunce_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="137" height="244" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;quot;What good is reading the bill if it’s a thousand pages and you don’t have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill?&amp;quot;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Interestingly enough, it was Conyers' own supposed ability to understand the law that made him a viable candidate for Congress to begin with.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Blog comment: Maybe someone will introduce a bill to ban all numb-skulls from holding a Congressional seat and name it “ Term-Limit Reform Bill”.

Yesterday, she told supporters it represented “real change,” because it meant “a cap on your [health care] costs, but no cap on your benefit.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Essentially, what Pelosi is saying is that the Democrat plan for health care can provide you with an unlimited amount of health care “benefit” on a finite budget that’s actually represents less spending then we’re doing on health care now.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Anyone who has ever planned a wedding reception knows differently.&amp;#160; Think of it this way: Private health care is a cash bar.&amp;#160; Government health care is an open bar.&amp;#160; We all know that less booze gets consumed at a cash bar than an open bar, and thus open bars are very, very expensive.&amp;#160; But what Pelosi is suggesting is that we can have our health care be an open bar, where people can get all they want and have someone else pay for it, and simultaneously have it cost less overall than a cash bar where people have to pay for what they get.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;This is simply not true.&amp;#160; Pelosi is either lying in favor of her plan for health care or she’s economically illiterate or better yet she is way over due for a mental evaluation…&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The truth is, if the Democrats actually intend private health care to cost less than private health care, it can’t be an open bar.&amp;#160; It’ll be more like the sort of bar where you can drink all you want and you don’t have to pay the bartender, but the bartender gets to pick what you drink.&amp;#160; And you have to wait 20 minutes for each drink.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;And it costs you $1,000 to get into the reception.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Blog comment and photo submitted by “Willie Wonker” of New York..&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sms6TDgc6vI/AAAAAAAAAbo/Dta6mKb0ITE/s1600-h/clinton%5B2%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px;

The White House today sought to soften the tone of President Obama’s criticism of police in Cambridge, Mass. for arresting prominent professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. in his own home earlier this week.Asked about the incident at his nationally televised news conference last night, &lt;strong&gt;Obama said he thought “any of us would be pretty angry” about such an incident and that “&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;the Cambridge Police acted stupidly&lt;/u&gt; &lt;strong&gt;in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;But this morning after several major police unions expressed outrage over the remarks, White House spokesman Robert L. Gibbs told reporters that &lt;u&gt;Obama does not regret&lt;/u&gt; what the president said about the Cambridge Police Department, but he had not meant to specifically criticize James M. Crowley, the Cambridge police sergeant who made the arrest.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;“Let me be clear,”&lt;/u&gt; Gibbs said. “ He was not calling the officer stupid, okay? He was denoting that . . . at a certain point the situation got far out of hand, and I think all sides understand that.”&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;There’s that &lt;u&gt;“let me be clear”&lt;/u&gt; thing from the Obama administration again.&amp;#160; Every time they say that, the only thing that’s clear is they’re about to tell us a whopper.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Obama said the cops acted stupidly.&amp;#160; There’s no getting around that now.&amp;#160; It’d be better for Obama and his people to just admit to the mistake than to try to convince us that we didn’t really hear what we heard.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8245522256728058065-2431763111184494636?l=bigjimb.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/feeds/2431763111184494636/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/07/obama-mouthpiece-when-president-called.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/2431763111184494636'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/2431763111184494636'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/07/obama-mouthpiece-when-president-called.html' title='Obama Mouthpiece: When The President Called The Cops Stupid He Didn’t Really Mean Stupid'/><author><name>Jim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04433746038700426841</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x-50A69E2UA/TpTaoqxoRaI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/RXjlpg-J7bY/s220/00010529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh6.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SmjiSh3vkTI/AAAAAAAAAbc/9DszMVOoCDQ/s72-c/rg_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245522256728058065.post-4948266587857839362</id><published>2009-07-23T18:01:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-23T18:01:05.410-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Good Time are here again!!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Smjdn9wungI/AAAAAAAAAbQ/djr1IQTGhGA/s1600-h/rahm-emanuel-120707%5B2%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="rahm-emanuel-120707" border="0" alt="rahm-emanuel-120707" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SmjdoIhX21I/AAAAAAAAAbU/-nnd4HdrO-I/rahm-emanuel-120707_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="237" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Balerina Rahm Emanuel without his tutu proclaiming &lt;em&gt;“We rescued the economy from the wicked wizard of OZ”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;WASHINGTON, July 22 (UPI) -- U.S. President Barack Obama shifts his effort to convince the American people healthcare reform is the right thing to do right now to prime time Wednesday. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;In an evening news conference, Obama is expected to outline the case for healthcare reform as well as provide an update on what has been accomplished since he took office in January.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel told The New York Times Obama intends to use the news conference as a &amp;quot;six-month report card,&amp;quot; to talk about &amp;quot;how we rescued the economy from the worst recession&amp;quot; and the legislative agenda moving forward, including health care and energy legislation.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Well…..It’s about time we got some good news….”The economy has been rescued”.

She was at a Capital Hill Hearing last week grilling Army Brigadier General Michael Walsh when he called her “Ma’am”…Boxer responded;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"Could you say 'senator' instead of 'ma'am? It's just a thing. I worked so hard to get that title. I'd appreciate it."      &lt;br /&gt;The general's response? "Yes, Senator."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Now that she is universally accepted as a Senator, Boxer now plans on sharing her ability to forecast the future. She is working hard to earn the new title of “Senator odd illuminus pro psychic psycho”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;A little know fact is that Boxer was born with this ability to forecast the future from her Gypsy heritage. Unpublished rumors say her lineage is traced back to at least two well known gypsies, her great-great-great-grandparents, a blind Gypsy shoplifter and a Gypsy moth.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SllQ0MIFpqI/AAAAAAAAAag/jgrQGEl-Dcg/s1600-h/gypsy-fortune-teller%5B4%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border: 0px none ; display: inline;" title="gypsy-fortune-teller" alt="gypsy-fortune-teller" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SllQ0a0apqI/AAAAAAAAAak/kyeLHou4mjQ/gypsy-fortune-teller_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="116" border="0" height="118" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; “Six Fingers Yankonit Smirnoff” and&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SllQ0iPxpTI/AAAAAAAAAao/9X_tE_HAGCc/s1600-h/gypsy-moth-61753%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border: 0px none ; display: inline;" title="gypsy-moth-61753" alt="gypsy-moth-61753" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SllQ1Jge9tI/AAAAAAAAAas/n52dyf9f0zA/gypsy-moth-61753_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="121" border="0" height="117" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; “Gypsy-Lee Donka from Cucamonga”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8245522256728058065-3273359266195812246?l=bigjimb.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/feeds/3273359266195812246/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/07/cap-and-trade-climate-bill.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/3273359266195812246'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/3273359266195812246'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/07/cap-and-trade-climate-bill.html' title='Cap and Trade Climate Bill'/><author><name>Jim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04433746038700426841</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x-50A69E2UA/TpTaoqxoRaI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/RXjlpg-J7bY/s220/00010529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh3.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SllQz6mC0OI/AAAAAAAAAac/C66X866cCEs/s72-c/fortune-teller-Boxer_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245522256728058065.post-9064477861962470595</id><published>2009-07-02T09:59:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-02T09:59:31.189-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Al-Qaeda Kidnaps Obama's Teleprompter</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Peoples Cube July 2, 2009;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" border="0" src="http://www.thepeoplescube.com/images/Hostage_Teleprompter.jpg" width="197" height="176" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;In an audacious raid Friday, al-Qaeda terrorists managed to slip past White House security and seize President Obama's teleprompter. Their demands were released in a grainy video, which apparently showed the president's teleprompter, bound and blindfolded but&amp;#160; unharmed, while heavily armed masked men stood behind it, quoting from the Qur'an.

Um, this barbaric act will not be, you know, tolerated. And... We call on all nations to help us fi-fi-find that, uh, you know, teleprompter. You're either with us or, um, against us. And... I have authorized CIA director, uh, Leon Panetta to use, um, enhanced interrogation techniques to be e-e-employed to help us gain, um, like facts and stuff... that these uh, you know, evildoers may have.

After our helicopter was forced down in Afghanistan, I held these thugs off for a week in bitter hand-to-hand fighting. You'd better mark my words: the only language these Neanderthals understand is brute force, and they're messing with the wrong man. Sure everybody thinks we're a bunch of imbeciles up here, and that may be true, but let me tell you, they've got another thing coming. We're in this fight for the long haul, or as I like to say it, 'If necessary for years, if necessary alone.'&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img hspace="8" vspace="2" align="left" src="http://www.thepeoplescube.com/images/HarryReid_100.jpg" width="100" height="100" /&gt;&amp;quot;Until that teleprompter is found,&amp;quot; fumed Senate majority leader Harry Reid, we must, and we will prosecute this war to victory.

Councilwoman Monica Conyers tried to keep things routine Tuesday, even as federal authorities bore down on her.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;As they dangled a plea deal in their bribery investigation, she promoted a project at the council's regular meeting to help low-income people with their utilities. Later, she hosted her weekly TV show. She even had a hair appointment.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;But her day was not normal. She brushed off reporters waiting to question her at the door to city hall. On her TV show, &lt;u&gt;&lt;em&gt;she stole a moment to call herself &amp;quot;a child of God,&amp;quot; and told viewers &amp;quot;if you're not praying for me, then you're just adding to the problem.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;And then she added: &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;quot;All these things that are going on right now ... I believe in my heart that God will deliver me from them.&amp;quot;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Pray harder for Monica Conyers&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The Grand Ayatollahs at Shrine of the Black Madonna and Greater Grace are none too happy. Monica Conyers will still be charged with federal (secular) crimes and that means you slobs have not prayed hard enough. They may call out their Basij to throw grapes at you until you pray harder. Only prayer will deliver this precious child of God from these ungodly Roman magistrates who don’t understand the divine wisdom of accepting bribes to approve a dubious shit processing plant in one of the few vibrant areas of the city. Lord, forgive these men of worldly law. They know not what they do. And deliver Monica Conyers from this secular evil brought upon her by Satan himself.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sjk75AJv__I/AAAAAAAAAX8/PFvA4AzdjrY/s1600-h/g-080522-hlt-crying-baby-11a.widec%5B7%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="g-080522-hlt-crying-baby-11a.widec" border="0" alt="g-080522-hlt-crying-baby-11a.widec" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sjk75ZXAO6I/AAAAAAAAAYA/8FdRAYVSqfk/g-080522-hlt-crying-baby-11a.widec_thumb%5B3%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="86" height="96" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8245522256728058065-2737273094678605031?l=bigjimb.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/feeds/2737273094678605031/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/06/pray-for-monica-conyers.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/2737273094678605031'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/2737273094678605031'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/06/pray-for-monica-conyers.html' title='PRAY FOR MONICA CONYERS….'/><author><name>Jim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04433746038700426841</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x-50A69E2UA/TpTaoqxoRaI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/RXjlpg-J7bY/s220/00010529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh6.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sjk74zSJHNI/AAAAAAAAAX4/LWKBaQ_z4dQ/s72-c/2008_08monicaconyers_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245522256728058065.post-5464624001885761219</id><published>2009-06-14T16:28:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2009-06-14T16:28:47.804-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Nancy Grace is the only person to care about child murder, ever</title><content type='html'>&lt;h3&gt;Nevaeh's mother grilled on CNN&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;p&gt;BY MARK W. SMITH • FREE PRESS WEB EDITOR • June 9, 2009 &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The mother of 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan defended herself Monday night during a contentious interview with CNN’s Nancy Grace.&lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SjVdfGwiYZI/AAAAAAAAAXk/t81jiJL_YQI/s1600-h/Grace.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Grace" border="0" alt="Grace" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SjVdfcG2VGI/AAAAAAAAAXo/eNA1j5ZYoBw/Grace_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="126" height="128" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Jennifer Buchanan, of Monroe, repeated what she told the Free Press for a Sunday story -- that she had nothing to do with her daughter’s disappearance. &lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SjVdfg0Pl5I/AAAAAAAAAXs/_2pwmBRPwGc/s1600-h/nevaeh_buchanan240x3003.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="nevaeh_buchanan-240x300" border="0" alt="nevaeh_buchanan-240x300" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SjVdf_Y3gqI/AAAAAAAAAXw/xVMXlQ5rNd4/nevaeh_buchanan240x300_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="83" height="102" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Grace grilled Buchanan on exposing her daughters to men she knew to be sex offenders. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;“I know that I have made -- I have made a lot of bad choices,” Buchanan said according to a show transcript. “And who hasn't? And I know that somehow …”&lt;/u&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Grace interrupted, &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;“Whoa, you know what? You can stop right there. You can just stop right there, Miss Buchanan, because most mothers that I know have never knowingly exposed their little girl, a 5-year-old little girl, to a sex offender. So when you say who hasn’t? I for one haven’t. I haven’t.”&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;If it wasn’t for Nancy Grace people would kill kids like spiders. In fact, that’s how it used to be. Now it’s different because Grace bravely berates the parents, &lt;strong&gt;(who are irresponsible),&lt;/strong&gt; of missing and murdered children for being awful people. Jennifer Buchanan, whose daughter’s remains were found this week, learned how awful she is thanks to Nancy Grace. You know what? Instead of waiting until a child turns up dead to publicly humiliate some lump of humanity for being a bad parent, why don’t we do it earlier? Like when they doom their kid to a hopeless existence with a NASCAR-class trendy name like Nevaeh, i.e. heaven spelled backwards or in this case for sure, allowing sex offenders access to their children without blinking an eye….&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8245522256728058065-5464624001885761219?l=bigjimb.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/feeds/5464624001885761219/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/06/nancy-grace-is-only-person-to-care.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/5464624001885761219'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/5464624001885761219'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/06/nancy-grace-is-only-person-to-care.html' title='Nancy Grace is the only person to care about child murder, ever'/><author><name>Jim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04433746038700426841</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x-50A69E2UA/TpTaoqxoRaI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/RXjlpg-J7bY/s220/00010529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SjVdfcG2VGI/AAAAAAAAAXo/eNA1j5ZYoBw/s72-c/Grace_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245522256728058065.post-8746151510811537279</id><published>2009-06-14T16:21:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2009-06-14T16:21:17.514-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Detroit schools employees wait for checks</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Today employees for the Detroit Public Schools withstood long lines while trying to pick up paychecks at 10 locations around the city.&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SjVbuQq3nNI/AAAAAAAAAXU/SVwEUrtuzbw/s1600-h/KKinline3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="KK in line" border="0" alt="KK in line" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SjVbujf4NEI/AAAAAAAAAXY/61n-ca5GbZU/KKinline_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="289" height="169" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;quot;&lt;em&gt;Holy cat’s Batman!…. is that, you know who, in line behind the lady with the umbrella?”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SjVbuzC34JI/AAAAAAAAAXc/IHNF_utoNnA/s1600-h/Untitled33.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Untitled-3" border="0" alt="Untitled-3" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SjVbvKIUpdI/AAAAAAAAAXg/vHSorelekf0/Untitled3_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="170" height="232" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; After being turned away this “you know who” who…. identified himself as Adolf Mongoose was heard mumbling to himself &lt;em&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;What do you mean there’s no direct deposit?”&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Emergency Financial Manager Robert Bobb instituted the process in order to verify that each employee who is receiving a check is actually working for the district. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;This comes after Inspector General John Bell investigated and turned over to the U.S. attorney and Wayne County prosecutor at least three cases where employees or former employees improperly collected checks. In one instance, a former payroll manager allegedly sent $400,000 in paychecks to a retiree. They allegedly split the proceeds.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;DPS employs about 15,000 workers. They could pick up checks or direct deposit stubs -- with a DPS identification card -- today at an assigned location until 7 p.m. or at the central office through Friday, officials said.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Today some employees picking up checks at Cody High endured two-hour waits only to be told that their checks were not available. Some teachers said they watched each other’s classes so colleagues could go stand in line. A few brought chairs. Several dabbed at their brows as the line trailed alongside the parking lot outside the building.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Employees said they understood the reason for the verifications, but had hoped for a quicker and easier process.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;“I think it’s a good idea because he’ll find out who works for the board and who doesn’t,” said Susan Smith, a bus driver.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;“&lt;em&gt;What a brilliant idea!!!!!….paying only if you are on the payroll”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Robert “Bob” Bobb continues with his “flashy” ways. He’s verifying that everyone who works for Detroit Public Schools actually exists. Employees had to pick up their paychecks in person. How unfair to the dozens of families that rely on phantom DPS employee paychecks just to make ends meet. Bobb never thinks of those people. All he cares about is educating children. So selfish. Do you know how hard it is to get a phantom job during a recession? Naturally, being public educators, employees waited in line for their check during school hours. &lt;em&gt;Everyone just sit quietly this period while Mr. &lt;em&gt;Smith collects his pay. Try not to a burden to society just because the education system failed to provide any employable skills&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8245522256728058065-8746151510811537279?l=bigjimb.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/feeds/8746151510811537279/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/06/detroit-schools-employees-wait-for.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/8746151510811537279'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/8746151510811537279'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/06/detroit-schools-employees-wait-for.html' title='Detroit schools employees wait for checks'/><author><name>Jim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04433746038700426841</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x-50A69E2UA/TpTaoqxoRaI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/RXjlpg-J7bY/s220/00010529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh4.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SjVbujf4NEI/AAAAAAAAAXY/61n-ca5GbZU/s72-c/KKinline_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245522256728058065.post-9185584216240675080</id><published>2009-06-11T10:52:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-06-11T11:13:29.075-04:00</updated><title type='text'>MIRANDA RIGHTS FOR TERRORISTS</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;In an effort to repair the damage inflicted by George W. Bush's presidency, Barack "Hope-en-change" Obama extended a gesture of goodwill and understanding to the victimized community of man-made disaster operators by promising them Miranda rights, wishing them luck in future undertakings, and advising them to abstain from earning money in the private sector. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Apologizing for the fact that the existing Miranda warning is unfairly slanted towards US citizens, Obama unveiled an improved international Miranda version, drafted by a team of ACLU experts.&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SjEaQjBvMxI/AAAAAAAAAW0/mqsswQDkKBM/s1600-h/aclu17%5B2%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border: 0px none ; display: inline;" title="aclu17" alt="aclu17" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SjEaQ3zrjfI/AAAAAAAAAW4/0lMdIBo-EJ0/aclu17_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" border="0" height="184" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The audiences warmly welcomed the new text, which is currently being translated into a number of world languages:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;You have the right to remain silent or, if you want, shout Allahu Akbar in a frightening guttural tone of voice.

You have the right to use an ACLU attorney in bringing a frivolous lawsuit against the American government.

If you do not understand these rights, you will be given a chance to sue us later for your failure to do so.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;President B.O. also announced the appointment of Democrat “Newby” Arlen Spector as the new &lt;u&gt;“&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Miranda Czar”…&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SjEe58Hk_XI/AAAAAAAAAXM/HhQ3J54R61Q/s1600-h/Czar%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border: 0px none ; display: inline;" title="Czar" alt="Czar" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SjEe6AED-5I/AAAAAAAAAXQ/ZlO4Mtchspg/Czar_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="169" border="0" height="170" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; “Whoop-Dee-Doo”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;Blog Comments;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SjEaRM0b3wI/AAAAAAAAAW8/H7UKcnJZciM/s1600-h/Miranda_Rights_9-11%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border: 0px none ; display: inline;" title="Miranda_Rights_9-11" alt="Miranda_Rights_9-11" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SjEaRcNAnFI/AAAAAAAAAXA/zuU7C-om0To/Miranda_Rights_9-11_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="298" border="0" height="243" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SjEaRedMANI/AAAAAAAAAXE/Sh2fZa0K2O0/s1600-h/taking_crazy_pills%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border: 0px none ; display: inline;" title="taking_crazy_pills" alt="taking_crazy_pills" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SjEaRrrgAmI/AAAAAAAAAXI/kHUqILsZEo0/taking_crazy_pills_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="175" border="0" height="136" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8245522256728058065-9185584216240675080?l=bigjimb.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/feeds/9185584216240675080/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/06/miranda-rights-for-terrorists.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/9185584216240675080'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/9185584216240675080'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/06/miranda-rights-for-terrorists.html' title='MIRANDA RIGHTS FOR TERRORISTS'/><author><name>Jim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04433746038700426841</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x-50A69E2UA/TpTaoqxoRaI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/RXjlpg-J7bY/s220/00010529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh4.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SjEaQ3zrjfI/AAAAAAAAAW4/0lMdIBo-EJ0/s72-c/aclu17_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245522256728058065.post-3177915877332489994</id><published>2009-06-08T10:16:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2009-06-08T10:16:05.660-04:00</updated><title type='text'>B.O.’s SPEECH IN CAIRO</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Posted by AWD&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Si0dHwgUspI/AAAAAAAAAWc/cXzy6NWlr4o/s1600-h/BO%5B2%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="BO" border="0" alt="BO" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Si0dIZgg9BI/AAAAAAAAAWg/Wyf8JwGuTME/BO_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="150" height="244" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Si0dIeU_aRI/AAAAAAAAAWk/FDCgEY9DzGo/s1600-h/GavePeace%5B2%5D.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="GavePeace" border="0" alt="GavePeace" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Si0dIg6pjeI/AAAAAAAAAWo/JBPvKIQK-SU/GavePeace_thumb.gif?imgmax=800" width="168" height="218" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Gosh, I’m so darn grateful to the sweet world of Islam!

Although the home has occupied its west-side plot since 1926, city records have classified the parcel as an empty lot for the past decade.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;I pay the taxes. All I know is I had a big drop when my house got hit hard by a tornado,&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt; she said. &lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;We had great damage.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Watson said she could not recall the specific date the tornado hit, saying it might have been 2002, or perhaps 1993 but she said her step-sister &lt;strong&gt;LillyAnn “The Enforcer” Tamale&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sh1HAokDXwI/AAAAAAAAAWE/4esA1zd8xKk/s1600-h/fortune_teller%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="fortune_teller" border="0" alt="fortune_teller" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sh1HA9XFsVI/AAAAAAAAAWI/2utL8qepwa4/fortune_teller_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="108" height="158" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; was able to find a picture of her home just before the tornado hit&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sh1HBL8ImuI/AAAAAAAAAWM/Oe_Vo7nNZpI/s1600-h/tornado%20Watson%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="tornado Watson" border="0" alt="tornado Watson" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sh1HBT-9h0I/AAAAAAAAAWQ/xjuj-lvV_CA/tornado%20Watson_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="220" height="290" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Just look at the that picture, my poor home is right in the path of the tornado!!!!”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;She acknowledged, however, that she never reported the incident to her insurance company or anyone else. National Weather Service meteorologists said the last tornadoes to hit Detroit occurred in 1996 and 1997 -- before Watson says her taxes were reduced because of what she called &amp;quot;the natural disaster.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“My sister LillyAnn took care of everything”&lt;/em&gt; , adding that,&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“LillyAnn told me that she informed the City Assessor that the hole in the roof was fixed and that I wanted to pay my fair share of taxes if she knew what was good for herself” &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;If it's an amount that's been determined by the people who are in the business of assessing ... and you pay that, then what's the issue?&amp;quot; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;She said she did not rejoice in the tax break.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;In fact, I was kind of insulted,&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt; she said, adding that she feared the value of her home had plummeted.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;However, in 2002, as she prepared to run for City Council, Watson obtained a $60,000 mortgage.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;To obtain the loan, Watson acknowledged that her property was appraised. But she said that appraisal did not prompt her to think that her home had regained value and, consequently, would merit an increase in her property tax bill.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;She said she assumed the appraisers &amp;quot;used their financial wizard&amp;quot;&lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sh1HBhDUtdI/AAAAAAAAAWU/Dtg8HeNCASY/s1600-h/keith-olbermann%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="keith-olbermann" border="0" alt="keith-olbermann" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sh1HB24Bu7I/AAAAAAAAAWY/1oMb_EvzxMs/keith-olbermann_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="129" height="157" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to help her get the loan on her home.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Watson said that “&lt;em&gt;the tornado photograph speaks for itself, I feel vindicated of any wrong doing”.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;“&lt;em&gt;The citizens of Detroit know the truth” &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;As recently as Tuesday, Watson blasted state officials who she said have cut $130 million from the city's portion of revenue sharing over the years. &lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;They owe us,&amp;quot; &lt;/em&gt;she said during a City Council meeting, demanding that the state pay the money to help Detroit through its financial crisis. Watson's failure to realize she was paying significantly less than she should is noteworthy because she occasionally admonishes city officials for not being more diligent in collecting outstanding property taxes. She says the city needs that money to reduce its deficit, which recent estimates put at close to $300 million.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;Blog comment……Hey…give her the benefit of doubt, after all she is a City of Detroit Council member.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8245522256728058065-3502227987428766923?l=bigjimb.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/feeds/3502227987428766923/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/05/detroit-councilwoman-joann-watson-lives.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/3502227987428766923'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/3502227987428766923'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/05/detroit-councilwoman-joann-watson-lives.html' title='DETROIT COUNCILWOMAN JOANN WATSON LIVES ON AN EMPTY LOT?'/><author><name>Jim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04433746038700426841</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x-50A69E2UA/TpTaoqxoRaI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/RXjlpg-J7bY/s220/00010529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh6.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sh1G_0nV0BI/AAAAAAAAAV4/7wOervbqFHY/s72-c/Pic_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245522256728058065.post-1597630638237885508</id><published>2009-05-05T22:14:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2009-05-08T23:11:31.664-04:00</updated><title type='text'>PHANTOM AIR FARCE PICTURE DISCOVERED…</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Air Force One&amp;quot; Flyover Incident an Embarrassment&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;By &lt;a href="http://www.usnews.com/Topics/tag/Author/k/kenneth_t_walsh/index.html"&gt;Kenneth T.

Many feared that it might be a terrorist attack like the one on 9/11.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a name="read_more"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;It turned out to be a public relations gambit in which the Air Force was taking promotional photos of the plane—&lt;u&gt;a 747 designated Air&lt;/u&gt; &lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Force One when the president is aboard&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;—over the New York skyline. Government officials particularly wanted images of the plane with the Statue of Liberty in the background. The pictures were to be distributed as souvenirs and post cards.

The new technology will not only give owners 750 miles per one pint of virgin Italian olive oil but they will be able to fold it up and carry it around in a backpack therefore putting those middle Eastern parking lot owners out of business… &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“bastone al terroristici arabi”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sf92PUgbRCI/AAAAAAAAAUw/G6JF7Lyt184/s1600-h/highmileage%5B2%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" title="highmileage" border="0" alt="highmileage" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sf92Pn_o7fI/AAAAAAAAAU0/J-SQMZXXYD8/highmileage_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="176" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fiat Group CEO Sergio Marchionne,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sf92P0UdocI/AAAAAAAAAU4/10pe8DULCUI/s1600-h/con_artist%5B4%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" title="con_artist" border="0" alt="con_artist" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sf92QEquTfI/AAAAAAAAAU8/mPIUyOKFtwo/con_artist_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="208" height="161" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; says his grand plan is for Fiat to spin off the resulting auto by using “Elf Technology”, which he said would be big enough to compete with the mightiest of car companies, with capacity to turn out some 5.5 million vehicles a year.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fiat's aim eventually is to become the world's No. 2 automaker, behind Japan's Toyota, according to Germany's economics minister, who met with Marchionne on Monday in Berlin.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But there are lots of questions about whether Marchionne can pull it off.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The plan is audacious, not the least because Marchionne is hoping to execute it without putting down a cent. "We're in the middle of an automotive yard sale," Marchionne said. Not only is the stuff cheap, the labor costs will be low because we plan on using elves to produce the car.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fiat's deal to take a big piece of Chrysler could not only save Chrysler, it would give Fiat access to the huge North American green market.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Blog comment; See… all you soothsayers out there thinking green power killed the auto industry.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;Yahoo!!

I just figured he had the interests of the people he represents at heart and this was his choice. The guy really cares about his people, right?…Wrong!…..&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here are a few tid-bits that I have read that burst my bubble of thinking that some of our Congress people are decent caring reps…This turkey only cares about himself…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here is the reason “The Mole” sayeth ….&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;"I now find my political philosophy more in line with Democrats than Republicans,"&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Specter faced an extraordinarily difficult re-election challenge in his home state in 2010, having first to confront a challenge from his right in the Republican &lt;u&gt;primary&lt;/u&gt; before pivoting to a &lt;u&gt;general election&lt;/u&gt; campaign against a Democrat.&lt;br /&gt;"I am unwilling to have my twenty-nine year Senate record judged by the Pennsylvania Republican primary electorate," he said in the statement.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Specter had publicly acknowledged that to win in 2010, he would need thousands of Pennsylvania voters who switched from Republican to Democrat last year to vote for Obama to flip back to the GOP to cast ballots for him. Arlen Specter knew he was going to lose the Republican primary to Pat Toomey. He said as much. In trying to sell this defection as a matter of principle.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;President Barrack “Ma Bell” Obama was delighted…. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sf9pciJq4tI/AAAAAAAAAUg/Mzb6qhDRjI0/s1600-h/BO%20Telephone%5B2%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px" title="BO Telephone" border="0" alt="BO Telephone" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sf9pdCkZc6I/AAAAAAAAAUk/-yEiiRAshmI/BO%20Telephone_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="188" height="244" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; He reached “The Mole” by phone, after he figured out how to use it, and told him "you have my full support" and that the Democratic Party is "thrilled to have you."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Blog advice to the Prez…. Make no mistake about it, Specter and 99 others Senators would join the Gay Pedophile Swine Flu party if they thought it would keep them in office a day longer. The same goes for the House. We are governed by men and women of no-principle and the Specter example screams the necessity for term limits!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And if this is not bad enough, “The Mole” took a shot at the G.O.P. today and blamed the Death of Jack Kemp on them. (Maybe he is trying to get the votes of poor cancer victims?). Check this news item out…..&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Specter hints Kemp died of GOP agenda&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By &lt;a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/staff/tom-lobianco/"&gt;Tom LoBianco&lt;/a&gt; Monday, May 4, 2009 &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sen. Arlen Specter, Pennsylvania Democrat, said part of the reason that he left the Republican Party last week was disillusionment with its health-care priorities, and suggested that had the Republicans taken a more moderate track, Jack Kemp may have won his battle with cancer. Mr. Specter, responding to a question from CBS' Bob Schieffer over whether he had let down Pennsylvanians who wanted a Republican to represent them, said he thought his priorities were more in line with those of the Democrats. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Well, I was sorry to disappoint many people. Frankly, I was disappointed that the Republican Party didn't want me as their candidate," Mr. Specter said on "Face the Nation." "But as a matter of principle, I'm becoming much more comfortable with the Democrats' approach. And one of the items that I'm working on, Bob, is funding for medical research." &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mr. Specter continued: "If we had pursued what President Nixon declared in 1970 as the war on cancer, we would have cured many strains. I think Jack Kemp would be alive today. And that research has saved or prolonged many lives, including mine." &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mr. Kemp died Saturday of cancer. He had been the running mate of 1996 Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Blog comment; Am I wrong ...but isn't "The Mole" pandering for votes making a comment like this...Makes one sick to his stomach....&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8245522256728058065-7257853494816558135?l=bigjimb.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/feeds/7257853494816558135/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/05/another-dedicated-politition.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/7257853494816558135'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/7257853494816558135'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/05/another-dedicated-politition.html' title='ANOTHER DEDICATED POLITITIAN….'/><author><name>Jim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04433746038700426841</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x-50A69E2UA/TpTaoqxoRaI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/RXjlpg-J7bY/s220/00010529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh3.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sf9qRcyOtFI/AAAAAAAAAUs/Yw5vrYTWCio/s72-c/arlen-spector-cancer-300_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245522256728058065.post-2832170796034942190</id><published>2009-05-03T20:14:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2009-05-03T20:14:27.367-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Biden’s Gaffe is a Bad Rap…..</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sf4zUUYfpkI/AAAAAAAAATY/f4RGdPbV17E/s1600-h/obamafucked2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="obamafucked" border="0" alt="obamafucked" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sf4zUsY1ycI/AAAAAAAAATc/sdrA3igUt4o/obamafucked_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="196" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“PLEASE DON’T PLAY IT AGAIN JOE”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Vice President Joe “The Brain” Biden said on Thursday he would tell his family to stay out of airplanes or subways to avoid contracting swine flu, prompting his office to issue a clarification.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Asked on NBC's &amp;quot;Today&amp;quot; show what he would tell members of his family if they asked him whether they should get on a commercial airliner to Mexico in the next week, Biden said:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;I would tell members of my family -- and I have -- I wouldn't go &lt;u&gt;anywhere&lt;/u&gt; in confined places now.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;He said the problem is that &amp;quot;when one person sneezes it goes all the way through the aircraft.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;If you're out in the middle of a field and someone like the scarecrow sneezes, that's one thing. If you're in a closed aircraft or a closed container, a closed car, a closed classroom, a closed jar, a closed call it's a different thing,&amp;quot; he added.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Biden's spokesperson, FooFoo Fortunecookie&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sf4zVJjyERI/AAAAAAAAATg/NzM6MsmHX5c/s1600-h/Fig%202-1%20Fortune%20teller%5B7%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="Fig%202-1%20Fortune%20teller" border="0" alt="Fig%202-1%20Fortune%20teller" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sf4zVdLEnNI/AAAAAAAAATk/yXtbciPsyqs/Fig%202-1%20Fortune%20teller_thumb%5B3%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="153" height="128" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; sought to clarify Biden's remarks by looking into her crystal ball and issuing a statement shortly after his television interview. She said Biden meant to say……..&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;quot;IF THEY ARE SICK, &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;they should avoid airplanes and other confined public spaces, such as subways. This is the advice the vice president has given family members who are traveling by commercial airline this week,&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt; FooFoo said.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Ya know maybe he is getting a bad rap?… Heck, he is just telling the truth… He is being “Obominal transparant” I tell my family to avoid crowded places because I don’t want them to catch the flu. If they were sick I would tell them to stay home. But……Biden is in a different situation…What he says on TV to thousands of people is considered the real thing. Unfortunately that ain’t the way it goes in Washington. White House spokespeople say that Joey meant that “&lt;em&gt;if you are sick…stay out of confined places, blah…blah….blah”. &lt;/em&gt;Biden’s comments didn't bother me but Biden’s spokesperson sure did. &lt;em&gt;“How dumb do they tink us&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;commoners is?”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;So Vice President Joe “The Brain” Biden, just to make amends to the White House spin machine and to stop the sharp decline in airline stocks, took the train home yesterday.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sf4zVsmZaZI/AAAAAAAAATo/H3wfpBnLnmY/s1600-h/JB3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px;

&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“The Brain” boarding train to go home….&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs announced,&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sf4zWWD5-XI/AAAAAAAAATw/DS2vZzQwCRg/s1600-h/RobtGibbs2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px;

that as a precautionary move, Vice President Biden would be added to the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;“PRESIDENT’S OFFICIAL DO NOT LISTEN TO LIST”.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The list numbers three now and is expected to rise…..The three listed so far are;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;1) Do not listen to Rush “Fatso” Limbaugh&lt;/u&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sf4zXRnKUlI/AAAAAAAAAT4/mQDaZHVr6dI/s1600-h/rush1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px;

…&lt;em&gt;for he hates Liberals and clean air……&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;2) Do not listen to “Tea-baggers”&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sf4zX1dzYNI/AAAAAAAAAUA/jk4J4pzRdPk/s1600-h/6a00d8341c7de353ef011570218e2b970b32.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px;

&lt;strong&gt;…&lt;em&gt;for they don’t want to pay their fair share…&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;3) Do not listen to Vice-President Joe Biden&lt;/u&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Blog comment; After researching Biden’s history of witty, off-the- cuff comments, I am convinced he will replace Yogi Berra as the king of pithy comments and witticisms. &lt;b&gt;Yogiisms will be replaced by Bidenisms…..&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The First Lady spent April 29th volunteering: She donated time filling bags with non-perishable food to be distributed at the Capitol Area Food Bank for Feeding America. An extremely worthy and commendable activity, and yet the photo has spurred a mini controversy. Why you may ask? Her fashion choices over a pair of lousey tennis shoes…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At first glance, there is nothing exceptional about her casual capri-and-sneaker combo, but upon closer inspection, it's obvious that these are no average kicks. First Lady “Michelle, My Belle” rocked a pair of $540 Lanvin sneakers to the &lt;em&gt;food bank&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Darn it!, Its about time we stop picking on “Michelle, My Belle”. You have this all wrong. “Michelle, My Belle” was not wearing these pricey kicks to impress anyone, she was just trying to fit in at the food bank. She was told that many of the poor at the food bank wore sneakers that were held together with duck tape. “Michelle, My Belle” in all her compassion wanted to be the same, &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sft2gfeYAtI/AAAAAAAAATA/W8fXqvMcwho/s1600-h/z95227340%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" title="z95227340" border="0" alt="z95227340" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sft2gjnVoPI/AAAAAAAAATE/139JxMG1D0o/z95227340_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="149" height="199" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So…… her Deputy Chief Dressy-up Advisor, Greta Twoballs, picked out a pair of Lanvin kicks that look like they were made out of duck tape? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;First Lady “Michelle, My Belle” not only helped pass out food to the needy she also donated 240lbs of day old cake so that the poor could eat cake too and not just non-perishable food.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Later in an interview, “Michelle, My Belle” said she was going to wear her “everyday” sneakers but found out that President “Obama-lama-ding-dong” gave them along with two dozen pizza pies to his needy half-brother in Kenya.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sft2g-YyUEI/AAAAAAAAATI/omL-pOnKut4/s1600-h/old-shoes%5B4%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" title="old-shoes" border="0" alt="old-shoes" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sft2hKKnXEI/AAAAAAAAATM/QxHxxS6uuPU/old-shoes_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="97" height="121" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;“Michelle, My Belle” also said that in a gesture to give everyone a chance at the American dream, she gave her Lanvin shoes to a shoe-less, tooth-less bag lady who was waiting in line for cake.

We're doing passive surveillance at the border and vigorously giving out yellow cards explaining the signs of swine flu and instructions on what to do about it in multiple foreign languages, including Pig-Latin, as a reporter asked if closure of the border had been considered. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Napolitano snorted "you would close the border if you thought you could contain the spread of disease, but the disease already is in a number of states within the United States so &lt;em&gt;“what the heck”&lt;/em&gt; there goes the old &lt;em&gt;“close the border strategy”.&lt;/em&gt; Rather we feel that we can stop any pending pandemic by issuing new color code alerts and relying on people to make the right decisions. Napolitano identified the new &lt;strong&gt;Pending Pandemic Color Adjusted Code&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Alerts&lt;/strong&gt; as, “Strawberry (bad shit), Chocolate (so-so), and Vanilla (good shit)”. The new alerts will be referred to in the Homeland Security Intelligence circle by the code name of &lt;em&gt;“Pee-Pee-Ca-Ca”.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Napolitano said this new strategy is a bi-partisan work product of our great Washington think tank and she is as confident of it working as she is confident that the 9-11 hijackers crossed the Canadian border and our returning troops may be right wing terrorists.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She also reminded people that if they felt sick to stay home from work and eat lots of chicken soup.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Blog comment; ….and what’s up with our latest Presidents?….&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hurricane Katrina  =  G.W.B. went to the ranch.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Swine Flu outbreak = B.O. went golfing.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;(Sorry to tell you this pal but if this thing takes off, it will be 1000 times worse than Katrina).&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8245522256728058065-7292897575260537040?l=bigjimb.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/feeds/7292897575260537040/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/04/napolitano-closing-border-not-answer-to.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/7292897575260537040'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/7292897575260537040'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/04/napolitano-closing-border-not-answer-to.html' title='Napolitano: Closing border not the answer to flu..try chicken soup….'/><author><name>Jim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04433746038700426841</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x-50A69E2UA/TpTaoqxoRaI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/RXjlpg-J7bY/s220/00010529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh6.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SfZ0nz5IIaI/AAAAAAAAASk/Gq__FwLmrHQ/s72-c/napolitano004_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245522256728058065.post-6690660564442347051</id><published>2009-04-23T14:08:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-04-24T10:54:50.053-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Mayor announces Detroit’s first curbside recycling program..Monica…where are you?</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;SAVE DETROIT JEWELS - dont let them shut down our incinerator”&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cranes Business Report; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SfHRmy0qvuI/AAAAAAAAARk/0ODFOux9TXo/s1600-h/shrek%5B1%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" title="shrek" border="0" alt="shrek" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SfCumLi-jpI/AAAAAAAAARo/2GUbg28TApQ/shrek_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="105" height="125" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Detroit Mayor Ken Cockrel Jr. today announced Detroit’s first curbside recycling program.&lt;br /&gt;The one-year pilot program will begin on the city’s east and west sides in July.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The number of drop-off recycling centers and mobile centers will also be increased, according to the statement.&lt;br /&gt;If the pilot program is successful, a city-wide permanent program will be implemented within two years. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Waaaaaaait a minute!!!!

Unfortunately, Ken Cockrel and the Suburbs are plotting to steal garbage from the peoples of Detroit so it can be recycled.”recycling is what people who don’t look like Mayor Pro-Tem Nutzo like to do” you know..like saving the earth without having to do much”. Detroiters will be forced, almost at gun point, to surrender their trash to this recycling program instead of sending it to Mayor Young’s (praised be His name) beloved incinerator. &lt;strong&gt;The incinerator may be forced to shut down…&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The newly formed authority of Garbage Of Detroit (GOD), which used to be the Cobo Hall Regional Authority is headed by King L.Brooks Paterson and his little elfs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SfHRoTwyotI/AAAAAAAAASY/i4f5uQMfnBM/s1600-h/5%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" title="5" border="0" alt="5" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SfHRo3KVhPI/AAAAAAAAASc/wmfsrcGmxQI/5_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="117" height="144" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; GOD said recycling is fantastic! You can still buy all the stuff you like (bottled water, beer, wine, organic iced tea, and cans of all varieties) and then when you’re done you just put it in a DIFFERENT bin than where you would throw your other garbage. And boom! Environment saved! Everyone feels great, it’s so easy! People from all over the region will bring their bottles to Detroit. Smaller suburban cities that are strapped for cash can shut down their costing recycling sites saving tons of tax payer dollars. The whole region will benefit. No more terrible incinerator smoke polution. E.P.A. and it's goons will be happy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;GOD has already developed a family theme &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;“Drop off your empties in Detroit and ride a People Mover for free”.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My-oh-my, will any of the jewels of Detroit be saved????&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8245522256728058065-6690660564442347051?l=bigjimb.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/feeds/6690660564442347051/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/04/mayor-announces-detroits-first-curbside.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/6690660564442347051'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/6690660564442347051'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/04/mayor-announces-detroits-first-curbside.html' title='Mayor announces Detroit’s first curbside recycling program..Monica…where are you?'/><author><name>Jim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04433746038700426841</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x-50A69E2UA/TpTaoqxoRaI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/RXjlpg-J7bY/s220/00010529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh3.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SfCumLi-jpI/AAAAAAAAARo/2GUbg28TApQ/s72-c/shrek_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245522256728058065.post-7304709690341928399</id><published>2009-04-22T21:13:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-04-22T22:14:33.167-04:00</updated><title type='text'>WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THE MISS AMERICA CONTEST?.. “BURT PARKS..WHERE ARE YOU”?</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Politically correct is in…..First Amendment is out…..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;Another American tradition just bit the dust…..&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Se_AlzEpDPI/AAAAAAAAAQc/oCthm2ow80M/s1600-h/CarriePrejean_HeadShot%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" title="CarriePrejean_HeadShot" border="0" alt="CarriePrejean_HeadShot" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Se_AmLsba9I/AAAAAAAAAQg/C8pfFKH-dzo/CarriePrejean_HeadShot_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="185" height="235" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you have been watching the news this week it appears that Miss California, Carrie Prejean, may have lost the Miss America contest after she was asked about her stand on gay marriages. Basically she said that &lt;em&gt;it, &lt;u&gt;is great living in America where you have a choice, but added, which pissed off a lot of hetero-phobes, that she personally believes that marriage should be between one man and one woman (ummm..what an interesting thought). &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Who is this person that posed this question you ask?…It was a homo-sexual judge in the contest who goes by the name of Perez “&lt;em&gt;Pillow-Biter” &lt;/em&gt;Hilton, real name &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Mario Armando Lavandeira, Jr. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why is a openly homosexual judge with a political agenda permitted to help select Miss USA when he is only known for a disgusting celeb-worshipping blog. If they are looking for judges who are bloggers, why not ask me? I think I have a better idea about women than some sissy poofter! And get this, “Pillow-Biter” Perez gets on his blog after the show and does a video and calls Prejean the “B” word and than later refers to her using the “C” word.

Obama is expected to appeal to Congress to pass Amnesty Legislation on the fact that if they do not act rapidly they will have no one to clean their bathrooms or cut their grass. Obama is hoping to seriously impact many of the Democratic leaders in Congress who can’t tell the difference between a lawn mower and a toilet bowl cleaner.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Every move that Barack Hussein Obama has made in his first 100 days in office has been, shall I say “different?”.

You can’t find 70% of Americans who can agree if it is raining outside! The audacity of this guy to pursue allowing 20 million illegal's to become citizens after they have willfully broken our immigration laws, caused a plague of crime, and cost us trillions of dollars in health, welfare, education and incarceration costs.

To be sure, the guided missile destroyer USS Bainbridge in on the scene and a P3 Orion aircraft is monitoring the &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;Capt’n Obama's Somali Pirate Hostage Crisis is an 'Annoying Distraction'&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;situation. An FBI hostage negotiation team is providing advice to the US Navy on ways to obtain the release of Captain Phillips without resorting to armed force.&lt;br /&gt;Nevertheless, while the White House is described as "working around the clock" on what has turned out to be a hostage crisis, Capt’n Obama appears to be unconcerned. At a meeting with homeowners in the White House Roosevelt Room, Capt’n Obama was asked what he thought of the Somali pirate situation and the plight of Captain Phillips.

But both the U.S. military and South Korea said it had failed to enter orbit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Analysts say the launch was effectively a test of the “&lt;em&gt;Tae-poop-dong-3” &lt;/em&gt;ballistic missile designed to carry a warhead potentially as far as Alaska, Hawaii and with any luck, San Francisco.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It was the first big challenge for U.S. President Barack “no-dong” Obama in dealing with the North, whose efforts to build a nuclear arsenal have long plagued ties with Washington.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;"With this provocative act, North Korea has ignored its international obligations, rejected unequivocal calls for restraint, further isolated itself from the community of nations and is acting just like a spoiled brat,"&lt;/em&gt; Obama said, speaking on a European tour (along with his U.S. entourage of 500 staffers, cooks, security, nannies, landscapers, doctors, lawyers and candle stick makers.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sdkd0DS0hMI/AAAAAAAAANw/CapgeMy5cTk/s1600-h/ob2%5B1%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img title="ob2" style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" height="172" alt="ob2" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sdkd0cOrOKI/AAAAAAAAAN0/UGaREeIeRDc/ob2_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="148" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Therefore President “no-dong” Obama stated that &lt;em&gt;“he'll show that bad-bad little fuzzy bear”..&lt;/em&gt; by committing himself to reducing the U.S. nuclear arsenal and said Washington would seek to engage all nuclear weapons states in arms reduction efforts. &lt;em&gt;“This will make him think twice about shooting off another “Dong” missile without first checking in with the U.N.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sdkd1NQt_GI/AAAAAAAAAN4/mScS6CFXg9c/s1600-h/kim-jong-il%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;img title="kim-jong-il" style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" height="182" alt="kim-jong-il" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sdkd1YlLieI/AAAAAAAAAN8/9uXmz8ZXdao/kim-jong-il_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="222" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; North Korea Top Dong, Kim “Long-Johns” Jong said.. &lt;em&gt;“every country&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;has a right to watch Korean Kartoons and old TNN movies from a satellite, what you think…only Amerika has television?”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sdkd1gCBbPI/AAAAAAAAAOA/oMViS48gCdc/s1600-h/gwb%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img title="gwb" style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" height="187" alt="gwb" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sdkd2PYTVCI/AAAAAAAAAOE/Up_EqulZ-oQ/gwb_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="152" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Former President GWB commented on today's news while attending a family B-B-Q in Wacko, Tx.. “&lt;em&gt; if I was still in power, I wood’d preevented that little slope-head from launching one of them Dongs by making Moo-Soo-Goo out of it before he could say “No tickee, No washee”…&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Blog comment;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;President Obama finds himself in a difficult situation in the wake of Jong’s “Dong” missile launch: to do nothing other than issue statements (the preferred plan of liberal internationalists everywhere) make us look weak and encourages the bandits in Pyong-yang-dong…or to react with some type of force and get most of South Korea and Japan knocked off meanwhile us winning the whole tamale.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;We must remember that Kim is reportedly a big film buff, and his strategy comes from the 1959 movie "The Mouse That Roared," about a fictional poor country that declares war on the U.S., expecting to lose and get aid like the Marshall Plan that Washington used to help rebuild its World War II foes but in this case it would be the Democratic ever-giving Stimulation Plan..&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;I suspect our president is, like most liberal internationalists, someone who wishes the real world would go away and leave him free to re-invent America as he and Nancy Pelosi wishes, other than for the occasional international conference.

"She came up to me, handed me his resume and said 'You should hire him. He's a good guy,'” said Amru Meah, director of Building &amp;amp; Safety Engineering. Reggie “Big Guns” Esters, 38, was fired from the $30,500 job last summer &lt;strike&gt;on&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;strike&gt;claims&lt;/strike&gt; because of chronic absenteeism. About the same time, he was charged with 10 felonies stemming from allegations he brandished a shotgun at two people, according to court records. He pleaded guilty to one count and faces sentencing April 17.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Meah said “Moon-beam” wanted her brother hired as a $50,000 inspector, &lt;u&gt;but he wasn't qualified and wouldn't pass a license exam&lt;/u&gt;. Instead, he was hired as an investigator who checked if businesses are properly licensed. (&lt;i&gt;This sounds like the right job for him…you know, like a mob enforcer like you see in the movies?)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Moon-bean”, whose maiden name is Esters, said Meah is wrong. &lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;She denied that Esters is her brother&lt;/u&gt;.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;April 3, 2009&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Detroit&lt;/i&gt; --One day after denying it, City Council President Monica Moon-beam Conyers acknowledged that Reggie Esters, the ex-con she helped get a job in City Hall, is her brother and not her mother. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;She said that she misunderstood the question. She thought the reporter said mother and not brother when asking about the incident with Meah. “&lt;em&gt;The&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;dummy&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;reporter wrote it down wrong, I said Reggie was not my mother.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since then, “Moonbeam’s” Chief of Staff, Denise Tolliver, released a statement attributed to “Moon-beam” saying she's an advocate for helping those who have been incarcerated get their lives back on track. (&lt;i&gt;WTF…..”Moon-beam” has a “Chief of Staff” ?. In her case it is something like an insane asylum caretaker who carries around a portable straight jacket in their handbag.) &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"You don't get to choose your family, and everyone has a right to be productive &lt;i&gt;(Moon-Beam really means “Absent”)," &lt;/i&gt;the statement read. "That is why I fight so hard at council for ex-offenders to have jobs." &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She added that she also visits inmates at local correctional facilities to "lift and encourage them." &lt;i&gt;(She’s referring to family, ex-mayors, best friends, and all-around shitheads).&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“&lt;em&gt;Oh well, I guess Moonbeam couldn’t find any qualified ex-cons for the job so she settled on her brother. This should piss off a lot of ex-cons who paid their dues to society and can’t land a job because they aren’t connected”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8245522256728058065-6753162238847828395?l=bigjimb.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/feeds/6753162238847828395/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/04/conyers-i-did-not-try-to-get-my-mother.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/6753162238847828395'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/6753162238847828395'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/04/conyers-i-did-not-try-to-get-my-mother.html' title='CONYERS - THE NEVER ENDING STORY'/><author><name>Jim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04433746038700426841</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x-50A69E2UA/TpTaoqxoRaI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/RXjlpg-J7bY/s220/00010529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh6.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SdZdt2JgHpI/AAAAAAAAANE/fdpxt7htP_k/s72-c/Esters_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245522256728058065.post-1804208847796512897</id><published>2009-04-02T22:52:00.011-04:00</published><updated>2009-04-04T19:05:23.409-04:00</updated><title type='text'>THE PRESIDENT GIVES THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND A iPOD.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SdeCY7m-WUI/AAAAAAAAANY/iYshJcPNwOg/s1600-h/chia-obama-animated-2.gif"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mr. "Gadget Man".…&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SdV5-yHNOCI/AAAAAAAAAMw/3JR_8sNUdA8/s1600-h/Obama%20brain%5B6%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img title="Obama%20brain" style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px" height="244" alt="Obama%20brain" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SdV5_DFC26I/AAAAAAAAAM0/iiv-ShmrMsg/Obama%20brain_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="204" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;April 1, 2009..............

Didn’t anyone think that one of the richest women in the world has a host of royal photographers around whenever she paints her toenails? I can hear the Queen now, “Jeeves, I say, fetch me my Ipod so I can revisit my trip to the colonies to visit with those awful Yanks.

Keith Ellison, D-Minn., was bumped up two weeks because White House officials heard about the venture, said J. Saleh Williams, program coordinator for the Congressional Muslim Staffers Association, who sifted through more than 300 names. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;It was mostly under the radar,&amp;quot; Williams said. &amp;quot;We thought it would put (the president) in a precarious position.

I think I’ll let a terrorist from Guantanamo take my grand daughter to the corner mini-mart to visit his cousin!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Ya know I checked on this guy…Keith Ellison (aka Keith Hakim or Keith Ellison Muhammad)….he is the first Muslim elected to Congress. His promise to take the oath of office on January 4, 2007 with his hand on the Koran rather than the Bible.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Reinforcing his pro-Islamist stance, was Ellison’s celebration speech in Dearborn, Mich.—the hotbed of Hezbollah supporters. He promised allegiance to Allah before a crowd cheering, &lt;strong&gt;“Allahu Akbar!”&lt;/strong&gt; (Allah is great!)—the final words of the 9/11 hijackers before crashing into the Twin Towers.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;As I see it, here is the problem with taking the oath of office using the Koran……and not the Bible…….&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The Bible teaches that “The Truth shall make you free,” (another words, for you Gitmo Goonies and company, “Tell the Truth”!) The Koran, by contrast, teaches that it’s OK to lie to infidels if it furthers the cause of Islam; that nation states have no legitimacy; that the only legitimate nation is the nation of Islam, which has no &lt;u&gt;territorial boundaries&lt;/u&gt;; and those who do not submit to the will of Allah should be condemned to a life of &lt;strong&gt;dhimmitude&lt;/strong&gt; (a.k.a. &lt;strong&gt;dhimi-wits&lt;/strong&gt; uneducated second class citizenry). Because the Koran does not mandate truth telling to infidels ( that’s we Americans) and because upholding a man-made constitution ( that’s the U.S. Constitution)conflicts with the &lt;u&gt;literal&lt;/u&gt; text of Koranic law this may explain why all the lies and attempts by our many Congressional &lt;strong&gt;“super-duper dhimi-wits”&lt;/strong&gt; to destroy our Constitution. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;It’s interesting the contradictions in politics. The &lt;strong&gt;dhimi-wits&lt;/strong&gt; that the Koran condemns are the same &lt;strong&gt;dhimi-wits&lt;/strong&gt; that are giving power to the &lt;strong&gt;non-dhimi-wits&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;This is great…We got a full blown subversive overthrow of the American way of life and the dhimi&lt;strong&gt;-wits&lt;/strong&gt; don’t even know it. It’s like a dentist who tells you won't even feel it or know it when he pulls out all of your teeth and you are happy about it until you sit down to dinner and try to eat an ear of corn. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Man, when you talk about taking the ball and running with it, You’d think Obama won the election with 90% of the vote. Yes, I think Joint Chief of Staff Muhammad Ahmed-Al Towelhead is the answer for the USA to really embrace multi-cultures. Hey Evangelicals, I sure am glad we didn’t elect a Mormon!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;…..and for you &lt;strong&gt;non-dhimi-wits&lt;/strong&gt; who can’t read English, I have included ….&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sc_82RrgzRI/AAAAAAAAAMo/i5cVjn9dQlI/s1600-h/group%20pic%20doa%5B2%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img title="group%20pic%20doa" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="170" alt="group%20pic%20doa" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sc_82sFsaDI/AAAAAAAAAMs/MS2Q9h3V-w0/group%20pic%20doa_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;كما أن عددا من أعضاء حكومة أولمرت لم يعجبهم وصف الرئيس أوباما مشكلة الشرق الأوسط &amp;quot;بالمشكلة المحورية لأزمات المنطقة&amp;quot;، نظرا لأنهم اعتادوا على التصور الأميركي للإدارة السابقة، الذي يعتبرها إحدى أزمات المنطقة شأنها شأن أزمة لبنان أو أزمة العراق وأزمة إيران.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;وبالتالي فإن الأهمية التي توليها الإدارة الأميركية الجديدة تزعج ساسة إسرائيل، خاصة بعد أن أعلن أوباما في حديثه لقناة العربية أن &amp;quot;تركيز الجهود الدولية لحل أزمة الشرق الأوسط من شأنه أن يسهم تلقائيا في حل بقية أزمات المنطقة التي تعد أحد تداعياتها&amp;quot;. إضافة إلى أنه، ومنذ فوز الأحزاب اليمينية بالأغلبية في الانتخابات الإسرائيلية، يدور حديث عن خلاف بين الحكومتين قد يقود إلى تصادم.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8245522256728058065-929244022969923018?l=bigjimb.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/feeds/929244022969923018/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/03/obama-secretly-vets-muslims-for-cabinet.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/929244022969923018'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/929244022969923018'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/03/obama-secretly-vets-muslims-for-cabinet.html' title='OBAMA SECRETLY VETS MUSLIMS FOR CABINET?'/><author><name>Jim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04433746038700426841</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x-50A69E2UA/TpTaoqxoRaI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/RXjlpg-J7bY/s220/00010529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh4.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sc_809z1u6I/AAAAAAAAAMc/rF8WCjRmfi4/s72-c/Chiel%20of%20Staff_thumb%5B3%5D.jpg?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245522256728058065.post-1393082611776767530</id><published>2009-03-28T15:06:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-03-29T19:25:49.563-04:00</updated><title type='text'>WELCOME TO THE USA, MR.

The War On Terror (WOT) will be known from this point forward as…ta-da….Overseas Contingency Operation (OCO)! &lt;em&gt;“W..T..F..”..&lt;/em&gt;I can imagine the Al Qaeda and Taliban terrorists dropping their weapons and converting to Judaism in fear and saying “Oh Noooo, not the Overseas Contingency Op!! How savage can this President Hoop-de-hoop be?” This is just the latest garbage to come out of the Hoop-en-dope administration. First it was outlawing the use of “enemy combatants” to describe terrorists caught on the battlefield. (see post &lt;a href="http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/03/obama-ends-use-of-term-enemy-combatant.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;LINK&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; ).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then the outlawing of any torture of said terrorists even if they held information that would save American lives. Interesting that President Hoop-en-dork doesn’t have a problem out of sucking the brains out of a viable baby who makes the mistake of surviving an abortion but he pees in his pants over torturing a murderous savage!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Obviously, the President’s foreign policy is the liberal tried and true “maybe if we’re nice they’ll go away.” And that worked real well for Carter too! President Hoop-en-poop was ridiculed and humiliated by the ayatollahs in Iran after he made his fuzzy-wuzzy, kiss-ass video to them last week (see post &lt;a href="http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/03/its-time-to-blow-iran-to-moon.html"&gt;LINK&lt;/a&gt;). Today Queen Hitlery Clintoon told the corrupt Mezcan government that the US is the cause for much of Mexico’s problems! What is it about liberals that makes them want to apologize to the world and throw our America under the socialist bus? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What is wrong with hating and wanting to kill our enemies? Americans wanted to kill Japs and Krauts in WWII. Were they wrong? Under Bush we couldn’t just kill the Muslim terrorists…we had to liberate them or bring them to justice. When someone tells us that they seek to kill us, we should believe them. They don’t drink $6.00 lattes in Starbucks talking about the newest Ipod. It is a grave mistake to believe that being kind to them will result in anything positive.

This phenomenon was considered a rare gift in the illegal profession of shoplifting. Therefore, Harry realizing what a precious gift he had been given decided to pledge his life to the great art of “Congressional Con-u-dumi-ty Activism”. (Actually Harry figured it was likely he would go to jail if he pursued a life of shoplifting so he decided to run for Congressional Sainthood where no one knows; Who dunnit?, What happened?, Where was I?, When?, How?, Why?, and just "&lt;em&gt;all around" &lt;/em&gt;What's my freaking job?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tomes can be written on Harry’s accomplishments and this Blog does not have room for all of the blessings he has given the American people but two items came up today that must be noted and can summarize his commitment to “Con-u-dumi-ty Activism”. These two items will make us all feel a little more humble after learning of his un-relentless fight to use that sixth finger.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1: Tonight, the citizens of Las Vegas, Nevada sleep soundly. Their senator, Harry Reid, is so concerned for their safety that he’s spent endless nights concocting a plan to keep them safe. Reid has recently proclaimed that thou shall not steal copper wiring in Sin City. &lt;u&gt;To enforce this new edict, Senator Reid has successfully obtained $400,000 for copper wire theft prevention in the recent omnibus spending bill.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It seems clear to me that Congressman Reid’s decree will allow Las Vegas residents to overlook the fact that they have a one in eight chance of coming back to their home or car to find it robbed, damaged or missing. But once their copper wiring is safe, people will disregard the trivial fact that robbery in Las Vegas occurs at a rate five and a half times higher than elsewhere in the US, and assault is nearly four times more frequent.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Crime statisticians give Las Vegas a crime index number of 0, with 100 being the safest. They also say that Las Vegas is “safer than 0% of the cities in the US”. If a city is in the 0th percentile in terms of violent crimes and property theft, wouldn’t you think it might be helpful to put some money towards the hiring of police officers? Wouldn’t you think it would be important to focus on the violent murders, the houses being ransacked, and the people being assaulted?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2: LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Nevada Congressman Harry Reid has sent a letter to President “Huff-n-Puff” asking for clarification to a provision that restricts casinos from using federal stimulus funds. Harry said that the provision is "overly broad" and is discouraging nonprofit groups from applying for stimulus money.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Reid argues that casinos are often the only suitable space for conferences and workshops held by community organizations. He also cites a women's group that often uses casino hotel rooms as transitional housing for victims of violence. (why doesn’t he put recovering alcoholics and gambling addictive people in there too?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;“Blog- the way I see it…..”&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hey Harry, I got an idea….Put up big tents in the desert for your conferences and workshops. Heck this would cut down of the rampant copper theft in Las Vegas. No A/C = No copper pipes. $400,000.00 is a lot of money to save A/Cs. How about you just pass some free laws that make buying scrap copper a “Tar and Feather, run yo ass out of town on a rail” type of crime. I won’t comment on the housing for victims of violent crimes. Before you know it Congress will enact a law that all victims in the country get to stay in a Las Vegas 4 star Casino/Hotel. That's what I need on my next jaunt to Vegas. Eating breakfast at the MGM a while some Detroit crack head boyfriend finds his victim of violent crimes soul mate at the table next to me and precedes to kick the shit out of her over her Oatmeal and papaya fruit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is great, I am paying Las Vegas to fix up their Casinos so that I can go there and lose my money….Is it me? or is Harry smoking nutty weed or eating that &lt;em&gt;forbidden &lt;/em&gt;mushroom?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8245522256728058065-5152720526232342789?l=bigjimb.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/feeds/5152720526232342789/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/03/congressman-harry-six-fingers-reid.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/5152720526232342789'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/5152720526232342789'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/03/congressman-harry-six-fingers-reid.html' title='CONGRESSMAN HARRY “Six fingers” REID'/><author><name>Jim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04433746038700426841</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x-50A69E2UA/TpTaoqxoRaI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/RXjlpg-J7bY/s220/00010529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh3.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/ScV6sg2fuDI/AAAAAAAAAKU/R_keSI6GK3M/s72-c/Reid_thumb.png?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245522256728058065.post-1241918704585528085</id><published>2009-03-21T17:09:00.009-04:00</published><updated>2009-03-26T10:55:23.575-04:00</updated><title type='text'>ITS TIME TO BLOW IRAN TO THE MOON</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/ScuXN4spVyI/AAAAAAAAAKo/-zNiYcJHBFQ/s1600-h/C1PH2CA3QYQPCCAJ343UTCA1GT34ECA173UDCCA8WW1W7CA09YCP6CABMFXB7CA2D6HDFCA6LHN57CATYV1AHCAAYRL2GCAE1C41SCAVZK52PCADPB36XCA4B3LNCCAQ323F3CADSA4TUCA8BH940CAZ65CGJ.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317510049854740258" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 140px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 138px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/ScuXN4spVyI/AAAAAAAAAKo/-zNiYcJHBFQ/s400/C1PH2CA3QYQPCCAJ343UTCA1GT34ECA173UDCCA8WW1W7CA09YCP6CABMFXB7CA2D6HDFCA6LHN57CATYV1AHCAAYRL2GCAE1C41SCAVZK52PCADPB36XCA4B3LNCCAQ323F3CADSA4TUCA8BH940CAZ65CGJ.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/ScVXlS_HO2I/AAAAAAAAAKI/zMJ9EuB-QhY/s1600-h/nuke4-300x226.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;OBAMA: UNCLENCH YOUR FIST IRAN: YEAH, RIGHT&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-32852538db106c2" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v4.nonxt6.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D032852538db106c2%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1330416619%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D5F7A5182B172FD2CA1B0E8F91A9BAB115674E239.4C12B69469D5B933BC29897974C050F70153A178%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D32852538db106c2%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DiYIs6JcVU-PQ1xyqvOuxCI-h0RM&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v4.nonxt6.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D032852538db106c2%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1330416619%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D5F7A5182B172FD2CA1B0E8F91A9BAB115674E239.4C12B69469D5B933BC29897974C050F70153A178%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D32852538db106c2%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DiYIs6JcVU-PQ1xyqvOuxCI-h0RM&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;"HAPPY NOWRUZ"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;"Ooooh...Obamaorgasm...Sooo touchy-feely""&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;We’ve had a score to settle with Iran since 1979 when they overran our embassy and held Americans hostage.They have supplied forces and materials to Iraq and have killed scores of US troops since we have been over there. They finance Hezbollah and Hamas who are known for brutal acts of terrorism and whose goal is America’s destruction and to wipe the nation of Israel off the face of the earth. Now we learn from a high-level Iranian defector that Iran was behind the funding of Syria’s nuclear program that Israel popped a year ago. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Now President "Hoop-en-change" has sent a pandering nicey-nice video to the murderous savages in Iran again asking them to “unclench their fist.” The Iranians, predictably, told "Hoop-de-de" to shove it. Hah! What a guy!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;They now realize they have a 4 year window to screw with the US without reprisal. Once again we learn weakness is a terrible trait in a president. See, the Chinese, Russians, North Koreans and Iranians don’t care that he is black. They only care that he is weak.

Tim Geithner, the Treasury Secretary, is being forced to operate virtually on his own without any of the 17 deputies his department is supposed to have representing him in important negotiations or helping make crucial decisions. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At a congressional hearing last week, Paul Volcker, a former Federal Reserve chairman who chairs a panel giving President Obama economic advice, described the shortage of senior appointments at the Treasury as “shameful”. He said: “The secretary of the Treasury is sitting there without a deputy, without any undersecretaries, without any – as far as I know – assistant secretaries responsible in substantive areas at a time of very severe crisis. He shouldn’t be sitting there alone.” &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SbmsxTPdwEI/AAAAAAAAAIY/FbNU3ZWVP14/s1600-h/bernard-madoff-475x335%5B2%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img title="bernard-madoff-475x335" style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px" height="173" alt="bernard-madoff-475x335" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sbmsxm_nUqI/AAAAAAAAAIc/-nflsvS8GE0/bernard-madoff-475x335_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;“&lt;em&gt;I will make your Stimulus Package this big”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Because of the dire need for help and due to the crappy condition of the economy President Obama has ordered the Federal Bureau of Prisons to place Bernie Madoff in a work release program just one day after he was found guilty for his $50 billion Ponzi Scheme and appointed Madoff as the Grand Poopah/Consigliari to Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;President Obama said “&lt;em&gt;we must take advantage of Madoff’s extensive knowledge of the Ponzi Scheme to make my recovery plan work”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rahm “Rambo” Emanuel, Chief of Staff, said “&lt;em&gt;the President is right, we must never let a good crisis go to waste. If Madoff can sell his snake oil to his intellectual friends and family he can sure the hell sell our our program to the American people”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Vice President “the Brain” Biden commented that “&lt;em&gt;Madoff is a true Patriot to give up his &lt;u&gt;good time &lt;/u&gt;to serve his county, anyway we were having trouble finding a Patriot to fill the job, especially one that was not behind in his taxes””&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8245522256728058065-1015946223471585133?l=bigjimb.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/feeds/1015946223471585133/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/03/treasury-secretary-tim-geithner-finally.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/1015946223471585133'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/1015946223471585133'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/03/treasury-secretary-tim-geithner-finally.html' title='TREASURY SECRETARY TIM GEITHNER FINALLY GETS HELP…'/><author><name>Jim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04433746038700426841</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x-50A69E2UA/TpTaoqxoRaI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/RXjlpg-J7bY/s220/00010529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh3.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SbmsxBGJvXI/AAAAAAAAAIU/hXub0QpV5m4/s72-c/Tim%20Geithner%2C%20the%20Treasury%20Secretary_thumb%5B3%5D.jpg?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245522256728058065.post-2758409976321611313</id><published>2009-03-12T16:56:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-03-12T10:26:04.441-04:00</updated><title type='text'>THE PALACE IS NOT IN DETROIT!!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SbglgznTUzI/AAAAAAAAAIA/cCuDfXMSjlg/s1600-h/Reeves%5B2%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img title="Reeves" style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" height="244" alt="Reeves" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SbglhBWC56I/AAAAAAAAAIE/3UqBNqZjyZg/Reeves_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="223" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; It’s official now, Jay Leno’s announcement of a free concert has definitely added Martha Reeves to the padded room area of the Detroit City Council. Martha Reeves plans to call Jay Leno and let him know that the Palace is not in Detroit like beautiful, watertight Cobo &lt;strike&gt;Falls&lt;/strike&gt; Hall or maybe Harpos. One problem, she doesn’t know his telephone number. Monica Conyers told her to just call NBC and they would connect her directly to Jay Leno because she’s Martha Reeves and the Vandellas. Councilwoman Reeves said she would pursue changing the venue because she is adamant that she remembers Jay Leno saying that the show would be in Detroit even though she can’t remember the names of the Vandellas. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Is there a Psychiatrist in the house?”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8245522256728058065-2758409976321611313?l=bigjimb.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/feeds/2758409976321611313/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/03/palace-in-not-in-detroit.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/2758409976321611313'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/2758409976321611313'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/03/palace-in-not-in-detroit.html' title='THE PALACE IS NOT IN DETROIT!!!!'/><author><name>Jim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04433746038700426841</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x-50A69E2UA/TpTaoqxoRaI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/RXjlpg-J7bY/s220/00010529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh3.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SbglhBWC56I/AAAAAAAAAIE/3UqBNqZjyZg/s72-c/Reeves_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245522256728058065.post-7656336419332451261</id><published>2009-03-12T10:24:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2009-03-12T10:28:00.553-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Martha - AJ's Music Café is not in Detroit</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SbkbAMOJIKI/AAAAAAAAAII/PThmuzwb3eI/s1600-h/Reeves2%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img title="Reeves2" style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" height="140" alt="Reeves2" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SbkbAQSiuAI/AAAAAAAAAIM/roCdJDAMoMI/Reeves2_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="120" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ferndale café owner A.J.

When sisters Princess Monica and Princess Fiona were first introduced to Lord Farquaad he presented them both with matching diamond tiaras. The story goes on to say that when Princess Monica fled the kingdom of Duloc she gave her tiara away to Lord Farquaad’s evil step-mother Lady Barbarosa to ensure her safe passage out of the kingdom. A close inspection of the wedding photo of Shrek and Princess Fiona shows Princess Fiona wearing the same tiara and Princess Monica without hers. As we reported earlier this photo was taken in 2001, many years after Princess Monica fled the kingdom and giving her tiara away. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We can now confidently say that we believe we have identified at least two members of the Detroit City Council that have their roots in fairyland. Who knows, many more may be identified along with some cartoon characters and loony toons. Upon learning of this new information, through this Blog, Congresswoman Carolyn “The Cheeks” Kilpatrick indicated that she may ask Congress to amend the Stimulus Bill in include financial assistance the newly identified homeless  to include but not limited to DuLocians, Ogres (of all types), Wizards and assorted fairies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;…&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;developing story….&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8245522256728058065-6427114995302098546?l=bigjimb.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/feeds/6427114995302098546/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/03/barbara-rose-collins-revealed_08.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/6427114995302098546'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/6427114995302098546'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/03/barbara-rose-collins-revealed_08.html' title='BARBARA-ROSE COLLINS REVEALED…..'/><author><name>Jim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04433746038700426841</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x-50A69E2UA/TpTaoqxoRaI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/RXjlpg-J7bY/s220/00010529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SbRYKNF0GrI/AAAAAAAAAHs/TIuEdu1-aOU/s72-c/Untitled-1_thumb%5B5%5D.jpg?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245522256728058065.post-2519314795827828406</id><published>2009-03-08T16:46:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-04-06T23:16:31.508-04:00</updated><title type='text'>THE FIRST LADY DONS AN APRON TO HELP WASHINGTON’S HOMELESS,  March 5, 2009</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SbQurnM2rSI/AAAAAAAAAHc/TccaNxuqZCU/s1600-h/clip_image001%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img title="clip_image001" style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" height="244" alt="clip_image001" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SbQussdTnlI/AAAAAAAAAHg/vguE_N1cCZY/clip_image001_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="184" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Michelle Obama &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;First Lady's new job in a soup kitchen!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A man in a wheelchair was among the homeless people she helped to serve.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h5&gt;If Not For Soup Kitchens, Many Americans Would Go To Bed Tonight Without Their Cell/Camera Phones&lt;/h5&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=Y2JjYWYzMmFlOWU2NTFkZTE2NzQzZTg1NDFjNDgzN2U="&gt;&lt;img title="clip_image001[4]" style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" height="154" alt="clip_image001[4]" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SbQutAdc-9I/AAAAAAAAAHk/QO8rYCY6Tnc/clip_image001%5B4%5D%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;Blog Comment:&lt;/u&gt; I don't envy this man's situation, whatever it is, and don't mean to make light of it.

That is to say, she called her age inappropriate husband, the once respected John Conyers, and he told his wife whatever she wanted to hear. That’s what you do when you marry crazy people. Meanwhile Dave Bing is putting in his two cents. He blames Ken Cockrel’s poor “leadership” because Monica is crazy, Joann Watson is stubborn, and Martha Reeves, Alberta Tinsley-Talabi, and Barbara-Rose Collins are dumb.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Barbara-Rose Collins is out of her freaking gourd&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Half of City Council showed up last night for an informal meeting about Cobo Hall and they hit a new high in mental incompetency or maybe a new low depending on where you live. Agnes Hitchcock plans to march on Lansing, throw grapes at the Governor, and get her some stimulus money for her fellow clones on City Council. Monica Conyers is filing a lawsuit. What fun! Not to be outdone, Barbara-Rose Collins thanked an Arab-American man for inventing geometry. I shit you not. Then she led the crowd in a rendition of &lt;em&gt;Onward Christian Soldiers&lt;/em&gt;. Martha Reeves wanted to join in but could not remember the words.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Martha Reeves is dumber than sawdust&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is just so much stupidity on City Council that it is impossible to absorb it all. It’s like moron overload. Martha Reeves once, a half century ago, sang a couple pop songs that people liked. This is her single lifetime accomplishment and it qualifies her to serve on City Council. Thank goodness for her leadership because who else would suggest that city government (with its $300,000,000 structural deficit) persuad the city employee’s pension fund to buy Cobo Hall?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s worth noting that Reeves and Denny McLain share an attorney so maybe this is Farmer Pete's all over again?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Who the heck knows what’s going on in that woman’s head. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;American Idol in Detroit?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Who knows, maybe some good will come out of this insanity. Our sources tell us that Executive Producer Simon Fuller of American Idol saw the news video of last nights Council meeting and is considering adding a new dimension to the popular TV show. The spin off would be named American “Dumb” Idol. Fuller said that the first show would be taped in Detroit and Council members Monica Conyers, Joann Watson, Martha Reeves, Alberta Tinsley-Talabi, and Barbara-Rose Collins all jumped at the opportunity to compete but added a requirement that Ryan Seacrest must be replaced by a host that “&lt;i&gt;looks like Council President Monica Conyers”.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8245522256728058065-6085370960491295315?l=bigjimb.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/feeds/6085370960491295315/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/03/metro-detroits-best-entertainment.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/6085370960491295315'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/6085370960491295315'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/03/metro-detroits-best-entertainment.html' title='METRO DETROIT’S BEST ENTERTAINMENT'/><author><name>Jim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04433746038700426841</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x-50A69E2UA/TpTaoqxoRaI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/RXjlpg-J7bY/s220/00010529.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245522256728058065.post-6200013685500903405</id><published>2009-03-07T00:44:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2009-03-07T18:17:20.861-05:00</updated><title type='text'>JENNIFER GRANHOLM WAS BORN YESTERDAY</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SbIJvspQXLI/AAAAAAAAAG8/fN7q9BKJP7Y/s1600-h/n_scarborough_grandholm_090113_300w%5B2%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img title="n_scarborough_grandholm_090113_300w" style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" height="184" alt="n_scarborough_grandholm_090113_300w" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SbIJwKyhHII/AAAAAAAAAHA/QYkXEy9cFQ8/n_scarborough_grandholm_090113_300w_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Our brave governor suddenly realized that Michigan’s roads are, in her official estimation, “the pits.” Is that a technical term?

With no “pits”, what do we do with all the “pits” fixers with no “pits” to fix.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8245522256728058065-6200013685500903405?l=bigjimb.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/feeds/6200013685500903405/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/03/jennifer-granholm-was-born-yesterday.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/6200013685500903405'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/6200013685500903405'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/03/jennifer-granholm-was-born-yesterday.html' title='JENNIFER GRANHOLM WAS BORN YESTERDAY'/><author><name>Jim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04433746038700426841</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x-50A69E2UA/TpTaoqxoRaI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/RXjlpg-J7bY/s220/00010529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh4.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SbIJwKyhHII/AAAAAAAAAHA/QYkXEy9cFQ8/s72-c/n_scarborough_grandholm_090113_300w_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245522256728058065.post-1444380496714330052</id><published>2009-03-05T15:29:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2009-03-05T15:29:54.034-05:00</updated><title type='text'>THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS CORP IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE….</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Helen Thomas to be inducted into Museum of Natural History &lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SbA2Pnw3OeI/AAAAAAAAAG0/lKI_zspaDA4/s1600-h/clip_image001%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img title="clip_image001" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="68" alt="clip_image001" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SbA2QCA_KEI/AAAAAAAAAG4/RDnjtEdjGF0/clip_image001_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="68" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8245522256728058065-1444380496714330052?l=bigjimb.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/feeds/1444380496714330052/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/03/white-house-press-corp-is-proud-to.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/1444380496714330052'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/1444380496714330052'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/03/white-house-press-corp-is-proud-to.html' title='THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS CORP IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE….'/><author><name>Jim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04433746038700426841</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x-50A69E2UA/TpTaoqxoRaI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/RXjlpg-J7bY/s220/00010529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh4.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SbA2QCA_KEI/AAAAAAAAAG4/RDnjtEdjGF0/s72-c/clip_image001_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245522256728058065.post-8297462022384912839</id><published>2009-03-04T21:02:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2009-03-04T21:02:24.427-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Enlarge Your Economy in Just Days with STIMULUS PACKAGE™</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sa8yregjUAI/AAAAAAAAAGU/nBRy7OjMp6g/s1600-h/StimulusPackage_EconomyEnha%5B2%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img title="StimulusPackage_EconomyEnha" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="244" alt="StimulusPackage_EconomyEnha" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sa8yrgFKg0I/AAAAAAAAAGY/v6MgDbg7IWc/StimulusPackage_EconomyEnha_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="223" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Did you ever ask yourself is your economy big enough?

A third Ogre is in the photograph and the Swamp Ogre claims that the female is Princess Monica, Princess Fiona's mentally unbalanced/alcoholic older sister.&lt;br /&gt;The Swamp Ogre said that Princess Monica fled the kingdom years ago and came back only to attend the wedding. Princess Monica later showed up in the Detroit as Council member Monica Conyers.&lt;br /&gt;The Swamp Ogre believes that Princess Monica calling Council President Ken Cockrel "Shrek" last year was not intended as a slur but was a slip of tongue on her part. The Swamp Ogre believes that Princess Monica meant to call the Mayor "Shithead" but was overcome by the resemblace of the Mayor to her gentle giant brother-in-law and called the Mayor "Shrek" by accident nearly exposing her true identity.&lt;br /&gt;Princess Monica is hiding from Lord Farguaad's posse who has been hunting for her. It appears that Lord Farguaad promised Princess Monica's hand in marriage to the village idiot many years ago but Monica fled and married a congressional idiot instead.&lt;br /&gt;A second un-named souce stated that Princess Monica has already contacted K.K. requesting that he loan her a couple of his Nation of Islam "fatso bodygurads" to protect her from Lord Farguaad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Council President Conyers refused to comment on the newly discoverd photograph and was last seen hip-hoping down Lafayette mumbling something about "that midget cracker dont know who he's messing with"?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Story developing.....&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8245522256728058065-4295329676073095480?l=bigjimb.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/feeds/4295329676073095480/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/02/conyers-and-shrek-exposed.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/4295329676073095480'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/4295329676073095480'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/02/conyers-and-shrek-exposed.html' title='CONYERS AND SHREK EXPOSED!'/><author><name>Jim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04433746038700426841</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x-50A69E2UA/TpTaoqxoRaI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/RXjlpg-J7bY/s220/00010529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/Sail877gSeI/AAAAAAAAAFg/85DH7vU4Doc/s72-c/Untitled-1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245522256728058065.post-4684759446146858125</id><published>2009-02-27T10:56:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2009-02-27T13:13:54.550-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Biden Slips Up, Asks For Website's 'Number'</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SagVsdE_HAI/AAAAAAAAAEk/cf7wKiWu6zA/s1600-h/bidenSamples.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307516014320098306" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 286px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 280px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SagVsdE_HAI/AAAAAAAAAEk/cf7wKiWu6zA/s400/bidenSamples.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Wednesday, February 25, 2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vice President Joe &lt;em&gt;"the brain"&lt;/em&gt; Biden, tasked with overseeing the $787 billion stimulus package, has been having a little trouble with his "numbers."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During an interview on CBS' "Early Show" on Wednesday, Biden told viewers to check out a government-run Web site tracking stimulus spending, but admitted he was embarrassed because he couldn't remember the site's "number."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"You know, I'm embarrassed.

"I haven't said anything. I just listened."&lt;br /&gt;The Call 'Em Out Coalition is encouraging Conyers to run. The Detroit-based organization is known for the "Sambo" awards it bestows on people it feels are selling out Detroit. Representatives of the organization couldn't be reached for comment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Blog comments.....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The regional plan to expand Cobo Hall made too much sense. It enabled Detroit to retain the North American International Auto Show. It removed a budgetary drain off of city's books while providing green money to help Detroit pay off its Cobo-related obligations. Good God, this was more than just sound policy. It was a brief shining oasis of competence in the desert of ineptitude and graft that is Michigan politics.Naturally a plan this logical had to be destroyed and that's what Monica Conyers did with help from her sap-sucking colleagues Barbara-Rose Collins, Joann Watson, Martha Reeves, and Alberta Tinsley-Talabi. Collectively, those five women equal two tons of fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monica Conyers is just a vile rustic half-wit who would be more comfortable on a backwoods dung pile than in a major cosmopolitan city.

It is not the car, or the plane, or even George Bush: it is the cow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A United Nations report has identified the world's rapidly growing herds of cattle as the greatest threat to the climate, forests and wildlife. And they are blamed for a host of other environmental crimes, from acid rain to the introduction of alien species, from producing deserts to creating dead zones in the oceans, from poisoning rivers and drinking water to destroying coral reefs.&lt;br /&gt;The 40,000-page report by the Food and Agricultural Organization &lt;em&gt;a.k.a. &lt;/em&gt;A. Gore Enterprizes, entitled "&lt;em&gt;Livestock's Long Fart"&lt;/em&gt;, also surveys the damage done by sheep, chickens, pigs and goats. But in almost every case, the world's 1.5 billion cattle are most to blame. Livestock are responsible for 18 per cent of the greenhouse gases that cause global warming, more than cars, planes and all other forms of transport put together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Burning fuel to produce fertilizer to grow feed, to produce meat and to transport it - and clearing vegetation for grazing - produces 9 per cent of all emissions of carbon dioxide, the most common greenhouse gas. And their wind and manure emit more than one third of emissions of another, methane, which warms the world 20 times faster than carbon dioxide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Livestock also produces more than 100 other polluting gases, including more than two-thirds of the world's emissions of ammonia, one of the main causes of acid rain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ranching, the report adds, is "the major driver of deforestation" worldwide, and overgrazing is turning a fifth of all pastures and ranges into desert. Cows also soak up vast amounts of water: it takes a staggering 990 liters of water to produce one litre of milk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wastes from feedlots and fertilizers used to grow their feed over nourish water, causing weeds to choke all other life. And the pesticides, antibiotics and hormones used to treat them get into drinking water and endanger human health.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pollution washes down to the sea, killing coral reefs and creating "dead zones" devoid of life. One is up to 21,000sqkm, in the Gulf of Mexico, where much of the waste from US beef production is carried down the Mississippi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The report concludes that, unless drastic changes are made, the massive damage done by livestock will more than double by 2050, as demand for meat increases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore the Obama administration is going to appoint a Fart Czar to oversee the emmission of farts in the U.S. The Fart Czar will work hand in hand with private groups to study ways that Americans can eliminate beef and milk from their diets. Already the Muslim population in the United States has promised not to eat pork when no one is watching.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also newly appointed Crime Czar William Ayers is looking into enacting new Federal laws banning "ranches", "ranching without a license" and possibly "ranching under the influence of cow farts".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Skeptics in Congress who believe that this problem cannot be solved have suggested to Nancy Pelosi that Congress ban all automobiles and everyone ride cows and pigs. This way the polution caused by automobiles can be eliminated therefore minimizing the damage caused by farts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These same Congressmen are suggesting that part of the Stimulus Bill be directed to developing a cow fart filter or muffler that can fit up a cow's ass to purify the farts. Congressman Barney Franks (D) has stated off record that he would drop his position in the Banking Committee in a nano-second if he was given a chance to work on the development of the filter. Mr. Franks said that he already has a name for the yet to be developed apparatus, he called it "Barney's Cow Insertion Protocol".&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8245522256728058065-8503626166825376656?l=bigjimb.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/feeds/8503626166825376656/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/02/cow-farts-emit-more-co2-that.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/8503626166825376656'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/8503626166825376656'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/02/cow-farts-emit-more-co2-that.html' title='COW FARTS EMIT MORE CO2 THAT AUTOMOBILES'/><author><name>Jim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04433746038700426841</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x-50A69E2UA/TpTaoqxoRaI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/RXjlpg-J7bY/s220/00010529.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245522256728058065.post-2022059502044084509</id><published>2009-02-17T20:31:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2009-02-17T21:18:16.900-05:00</updated><title type='text'>HAMBURGERS ARE THE HUMMERS OF FOOD IN GLOBAL WARMING</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SZtvvYtkiQI/AAAAAAAAADs/s14zmLwX4g0/s1600-h/Gore_100.gif"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303955846037014786" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 100px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 88px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SZtvvYtkiQI/AAAAAAAAADs/s14zmLwX4g0/s400/Gore_100.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;First utilities, then, gas operated engines, now cow farts and hamburgers?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;When it comes to global warming, hamburgers are the Hummers of food, scientists say.&lt;br /&gt;Simply switching from steak to salad could cut as much carbon as leaving the car at home a couple days a week.&lt;br /&gt;That's because beef is such an incredibly inefficient food to produce and cows release so much harmful methane into the atmosphere, said Nathan Pelletier of Dalhousie University in Canada.&lt;br /&gt;Pelletier is one of a growing number of scientists studying the environmental costs of food from field to plate.&lt;br /&gt;By looking at everything from how much grain a cow eats before it is ready for slaughter to the emissions released by manure, they are getting a clearer idea of the true costs of food.&lt;br /&gt;The livestock sector is estimated to account for 18 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions and beef is the biggest culprit.&lt;br /&gt;Even though beef only accounts for 30 percent of meat consumption in the developed world it's responsible for 78 percent of the emissions, Pelletier said Sunday at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.&lt;br /&gt;That's because a single kilogram of beef produces 16 kilograms carbon dioxide equivalent emissions: four times higher than pork and more than ten times as much as a kilogram of poultry, Pelletier said.&lt;br /&gt;If people were to simply switch from beef to chicken, emissions would be cut by 70 percent, Pelletier said.&lt;br /&gt;Another part of the problem is people are eating far more meat than they need to.&lt;br /&gt;"Meat once was a luxury in our diet," Pelletier said. "We used to eat it once a week. Now we eat it every day."&lt;br /&gt;If meat consumption in the developed world was cut from the current level of about 90 kilograms a year to the recommended level of 53 kilograms a year, livestock related emissions would fall by 44 percent.&lt;br /&gt;"Given the projected doubling of (global) meat production by 2050, we're going to have to cut our emissions by half just to maintain current levels," Pelletier said.&lt;br /&gt;"Technical improvements are not going to get us there."&lt;br /&gt;That's why changing the kinds of food people eat is so important, said Chris Weber, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Carnegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania.&lt;br /&gt;Food is the third largest contributor to the average US household's carbon footprint after driving and utilities, and in Europe - where people drive less and have smaller homes - it has an even greater impact.&lt;br /&gt;"Food is of particular importance to a consumer's impact because it's a daily choice that is, at least in theory, easy to change," Weber said.&lt;br /&gt;"You make your choice every day about what to eat, but once you have a house and a car you're locked into that for a while."&lt;br /&gt;The average US household contributes about five tons of carbon dioxide a year by driving and about 3.5 tons of equivalent emissions with what they eat, he said.&lt;br /&gt;"Switching to no red meat and no dairy products is the equivalent of (cutting out) 8,100 miles driven in a car ... that gets 25 miles to the gallon," Weber said in an interview following the symposium.&lt;br /&gt;Buying local meat and produce will not have nearly the same effect, he cautioned.&lt;br /&gt;That's because only five percent of the emissions related to food come from transporting food to market.&lt;br /&gt;"You can have a much bigger impact by shifting just one day a week from meat and dairy to anything else than going local every day of the year," Weber said.&lt;br /&gt;For more information on how to eat a low carbon diet, visit www.eatlowcarbon.org.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8245522256728058065-2022059502044084509?l=bigjimb.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/feeds/2022059502044084509/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/02/hambers-are-hummers-of-food-in-global.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/2022059502044084509'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8245522256728058065/posts/default/2022059502044084509'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigjimb.blogspot.com/2009/02/hambers-are-hummers-of-food-in-global.html' title='HAMBURGERS ARE THE HUMMERS OF FOOD IN GLOBAL WARMING'/><author><name>Jim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04433746038700426841</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x-50A69E2UA/TpTaoqxoRaI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/RXjlpg-J7bY/s220/00010529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GcIFCVIdZhI/SZtvvYtkiQI/AAAAAAAAADs/s14zmLwX4g0/s72-c/Gore_100.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245522256728058065.post-371333719600892685</id><published>2009-02-13T14:54:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2009-02-13T14:59:58.009-05:00</updated><title type='text'>DETROIT NOT EVEN SAFE FOR ITS ELECTED OFFICIALS</title><content type='html'>Apparently Detroit is so dangerous that City Council requires an unprecedented level of security compared to City Councils in other cities.
