Sarah Palin as VP Increases Depends Sales Among Scatalogically Frightened Democrats

Well It was bound to happen. someone has started a Sarah Palin Facts site. Similar to the Chuck Norris Facts site, you find inspirational but little known facts about everybody's favorite VP candidate. I cannot take credit for this post's title, it was from the site. Here are some other facts...
  • Sarah Palin once carved a perfect likeness of the Mona Lisa in a block of ice using only her teeth.
  • Sarah Palin will pry your Klondike bar from your cold dead fingers.
  • Sarah Palin pick retroactively makes the theme of #DNC08 “Things To Do In Denver When You’re Dead”
  • Sarah Palin doesn’t need a gun to hunt. She has been known to throw a bullet through an adult bull elk.
  • Sarah Palin can divide by zero.
  • Sarah Palin was kicked off Survivor for killing a man and eating his entrails.
  • Sarah Palin’s finishing move in the VP debate will be pulling Biden’s still beating heart from his chest & taking a bite.
  • When Sarah Palin booked a flight to Europe, the French immediately surrendered.
  • Death once had a near-Sarah Palin experience
  • Sarah Palin’s enemies are automatically added to the Endangered Species List
  • Sarah Palin can roll a natural 20 on a d6 (gamers, you know it!)
  • The diamonds in Sarah Palin’s earrings were crushed with her very hands.
  • As head of Alaska’s Nat’l Guard, Sarah Palin taught troops in a training exercise to scare a grenade into not exploding.
  • Sarah Palin’s suit is made from 100% dead liberal skin.

And the last one is a favorite of none other than the man himself; Chuck Norris. Chuck writes in his column The 'Maverette':
Sarah is so tough that she inspired a new tongue-in-cheek Web site (www.PalinFacts.com), which parallels the "Chuck Norris Facts" folklore Web site (www.ChuckNorrisFacts.com). It gives some mythical, yet complimentary "facts" about Sarah Palin's life, potential, character and career.

-- And my favorite: Sarah Palin is courageous and tough enough to shave Chuck Norris's beard -- and face off against his third fist disguised as a chin.

At last count, there are more than 3200 Little Known Facts in the random “Little Known Facts About Sarah Palin Generator.  No wonder liberals are shaking in their boots.

The End is Here

The world will end on Wednesday. I'm maxing out my credit cards. After reading Meet Evans the Atom, who will end the world on Wednesday There is little time left for this world. Well not really. On Wednesday CERN will be using their LHC or Large Hadron Collider  to  slam sub atomic particles together at the near the speed of light. Dr. Lyn evans, also known as "Evans the Atom", seeks to unlock the mysteries of the universe.
The aim of the £4.4billion experiment is to recreate the conditions that existed a fraction of a second after the Big Bang – the birth of the universe – and provide vital clues to the building blocks of life.

It will track the spray of particles thrown out by collisions in a search for the elusive Higgs Boson, a theoretical entity that supposedly lends weight, or mass, to the elementary particles. So important is this mysterious substance that it has been called the ‘God Particle’.


God Particle indeed. £4.4 billion is a lot of money to try to prove the universe exploded out of nothing. But the religion of science and the Big Bang is not without it's prophets of doom. At least two scientist believe the experiment will destroy the earth from within. One of these prophets is Professor Otto Rossler. He says;
‘Nothing will happen for at least four years,’ he said. ‘Then someone will spot a light ray coming out of the Indian Ocean during the night and no one will be able to explain it.

‘A few weeks later, we will see a similar beam of particles coming out of the soil on the other side of the planet. Then we will know there is a little quasar inside the planet.’

Prof Rossler said that as the spinning-top-like quasar devoured the world from within, the two jets emanating from it would grow and catastrophes such as earthquakes and tsunamis would occur at the points they emerged from the Earth.
The other scientist is from Hawaii.
Meanwhile Dr Walter Wagner, an American scientist who has been warning about the dangers of particle accelerators for 20 years, is awaiting a ruling on a lawsuit he filed a fortnight ago in his home state of Hawaii.

He fears the experiments might unwittingly create something he calls a ‘strangelet’ that could result in a fusion reaction that might ultimately turn the Earth into a supernova, or an exploding star.

So wednesday sometime, the Earth dies screaming from quasars or strangelets. You choose. Personally I do not believe in the Big Bang. I believe "In the beginning God created..." I believe this experiment might yeild some useful information on how matter and energy interacts and could open up some new areas of research. If it succeeds. Even Evans is afraid that the whole thing might breakdown at some critical moment. What wont happen is the end of the world or conclusive evidence that the universe "banged" into existence. I'm sure they will find lots of data that has to be studied before they can prove or disprove their theories. After all 9 billion dollars is a lot of money to spend and then say "Oh I guess we were wrong".

But the whole thing has produced an intersting Rap Video.

Opium Brides of Afghanistan

Here is an old story. I actually found it in June before my blogging hiatus. Opium Brides of Afghanistan tells about the hard times that have befallen poppy growers in Afghanistan. Since the government/military crackdown on drug trafficking, these poor souls have had to sell their daughters to pay their debts to drug lords! As appalling as that fact is in and of itself, what I found more disturbing was the tone of the article which was way too dismissive of the practice and almost tries to justify farmers growing poppies as a way of life. Must be the liberal drug culture pushing it's agenda. I mean I personally believe that growing poppies for drugs is despicable. And having to sell your daughter because some drug lord fronted you the money for your cash crop and the government came and burned your plants; well that is beyond disgusting.

The reporter tries to garner sympathy for the father but a man who would sell his daughter is no father. People who default to drug traffickers often wind up dead. And yet that has not stemmed the tide of farmers after the easy money, little though it is.
An estimated 500,000 Afghan families support themselves by raising poppies, according to the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime. Last year those growers received an estimated $1 billion for their crops—about $2,000 per household.
The man in the article is selling his 9 year old daughter to a 45 year old man because he owed $2000. Oh he tried to flee but was caught and forced by tribal elders to give his little girl away.

The article goes on to say that promoting the farming of other goods has failed.
Wheat or corn brings $250 an acre at best, while poppy growers can expect 10 times that much. Besides, poppies are more dependable: hardier than either wheat or corn and more tolerant of drought and extreme heat and cold. And in a country with practically no government-funded credit for small farmers, opium growers can easily get advances on their crops.
So what we have here is a situation where a man trying to make $2000 growing poppies has his crops destroyed and is forced to turn over his 9 year old baby girl to some lecherous 45 year old drug lord and it is all legitimized by Islamic law. My sympathy lies only with the little girl who will have her life destroyed because her father didn't think raising wheat would support his ten kids but facilitating the making of opium and heroin to ruin other lives would.

McCain Picks Sarah Palin as Running Mate.

capt.1b8e7bf6280b4fde904b3ef87c9ff9c4.cvn_mccain_veepstakes__ny108.jpgx180y286q85sigcLmaWN50P0gOdfmnxJVFWg--

And all I can think of is why? Don't get me wrong, she has some impressive credentials and she is more conservative than McCain and she is more man than both democratic candidates combined. But she has been Governor of Alaska for less than two years. Why spend an entire campaign blasting Obama for his inexperience and then select someone with less experience as your choice for veep? Of course I am not taking into account her stint as Mayor of Wasilla.

Sarah was not my first choice, in fact she was not on my short list. I can not help but wonder if McCain was thinking of trying to lure disgruntled Hilary Clinton supporters to his ranks this November.

Still I think she will do well as VP. McCain's choice seems to have the Democrats at a loss for words. It will be interesting to see how the McCain/Palin duo reacts to the Gustov situation in New Orleans as oppossed to the Obama/Biden team.

Da Da Dot Da Da, I'm Loathing It (And Leaving IT)

There is a bit of a brouhaha over fast food giant McDonalds support of the gay and lesbian agenda. The American Famaily Assoiciation has called for a boycott of McDonalds after they donated money to the National Gay Lesbian Chamber of Commerce and a McDonald's executive, Richard Ellis serves on the the NGLCC board of directors. But McDonald's tried to play if off.
McDonald's spokesman Bill Whitman says the company has made a financial contribution to the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, and a McDonald's executive serves on the chamber's board. He insists that doesn't mean that McDonald's supports "a particular lifestyle or same-sex marriage."
Excuse me? Giving money to a cause is called "supporting" that cause. Now McDonald's may have a "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy with their employees so whatever Mr. Ellis does in his own time is his business. BUT; McDonald's released a press statement saying they were overjoyed to be helping the NGLCC, which sounds like an endorsement to me. They also tried to claim that the organization only helps to provide business opportunities to gay and lesbian entrepreneurs. But the NGLCC's own website says they also lobby congress to pass gay agenda items like same sex marriage. However you slice it, Macdonald's is in bed, so to speak, with the gay lesbian agenda.

The AFA is asking people to contact McDonald's and tell them they should remain neural in the cultural war. Neutral?  Cultural war? If it is a war then if you are on one side you should be asking people to join your side, not become or remain neutral. If this is a cultural war then the AFA is surrendering. I say boycott McDonald's until they live up to their claim of being "family friendly".  Family friendly organizations do not support causes that would destroy the family. I'll miss sausage McMuffins the most.

Cracks Appear in the Obamalith Base

Poll shows McCain in 5-point lead over Obama

McCain.bmp

After being ahead most of the summer, Barack Obama's lead in the polls has evaporated. John McCain has a 5 point lead according to a Zogby poll. What could be happening to the Obamassiah's credibility? Hmmm, could be that all the policy reversals he's been going through.

"That hairline difference between nuance and what appears to be flip-flopping is hurting him with liberal voters," Zogby said.

I love how liberals think that reversing your position occasionally is considered "nuanced" but too much is flip-flopping.  So who is jumping the Obama ship? No one group in particular. I seems his support is eroding across all his followers.

The dip in support for Obama, who would be the first black U.S. president, cut across demographic and ideological lines. He slipped among Catholics, born-again Christians, women, independents and younger voters. He retained the support of more than 90 percent of black voters.

I have made it no secret that I do NOT support Obama nor will I vote for him. I do challenge my fellow African Americans to explain to me what it is exactly that Obama offers as a black candidate.  I mean aside from the historical footnote of being the first black POTUS, do the 90% of blacks that support Obama think that once he is in office, he's going to usher in some new age of black prosperity? Is he going to throw open the governmental coffers and pay every black person for all the persecution suffered at the hands of "Mr. Charlie" all those years?  Why would you support an absolute novice based solely on race? Inquiring minds want to know.

While I Was Away

Ever have one of those periods where no matter what you did things just continued to colapse? Or every time you took two steps forward you were forced one step back? Me too. And it started for me around the end of June and continues still.  I won't bore you with my whiny details, I'll just say that I had little desire to do anything but sleep.  Well I see a light at the end of the tunnel, and every fiber of my being tells me it is an oncoming train. Oh well. bottom line is I have gotten some energy back and I am fighting the malaise that had crippled me. So I am posting again. Yea me!

So what has been going on? Well Obama has been flip flopping like a Kerryfish out of water. First he will debate, now he won't. First he won't go to Iraq, then he went with the entire MSM in tow. First he found comments made by Bernie Mac offensive, then he didn't but then he sent a messenger around to say that he really did. It must have been the Angel of Death because Bernie died shortly after the Obamassiah expressed his disapproval.  I can't help but wonder if Barack also disapproved of Issac Hayes or maybe his messenger just made a pit stop in Memphis on the way back. Xenu rest his soul.

McCain has been gaining in the polls, or more precisely, Obama is slipping. I don't think John is doing much of anything and is improving. That scary fact is very revealing about this up coming election. Ennui abounds and no one seems concerned about little things like "issues". 

Meanwhile the Democrat led congress has reached it's lowest approval rating in history. 9%. Wow. I know a number of Americans, myself included, had to cancel vacation plans this year due to runaway gas prices and skyrocketing costs. I guess while they were staying around the house they took a good hard look at the job Pelosi and company's been doing and were not impressed. 

I think the choices for veep will be important. Hillary has said she did not want to be nominated but who really believes that? Of course her chances were slim and none. Barack has more sense than that. Standing between Hillary and the Presidency, he might as well have just painted a big bullseye on his back and just waited for her to plow through him to get to the oval office.  And you thought hunting with Dick Cheny was dangerous. 

Well the Olympics arrived and the U.S. leads in total medals by a slim margin over China. Though China has almost twice as many gold medals as the U.S.  I am glad for Mike Phelps though! Way to represent Mike! And I loved the interview with Mark Spitz. What a gracious athlete. Of course the old joke has to be put to rest now. You know the one, "How do you fill an Olympic Pool? Mark Spitz."  I guess some things you need to let go of.

I am looking forward to the conventions and I am sure I will have things to say about both of them.  So come back and hopefully I can keep the non-blogging blues at bay.

In Memoriam

I am having some issues which has forced me into a hiatus from blogging. But I didn't want to let to much time get by without saying anything about the loss of Bernie Mac. His, peers all tell of what a great friend and family man he was. And it was no exaggeration that he was a huge comic talent. He will be missed. My prayers go out to his family.
