Co-exsist.

Finally! A state that is brave enough to tell American school children the truth. Let's give Oklahoma (where the wind comes sweeping down the lane) a big hand for teaching the truth! No, not that Columbus didn't discover America. No, not that our ancestors sadistically tortured the natives in order to steal the land they live on. No, I refer to the fact that dinosaurs roamed the Earth with humans.

Remember when you were a child learning the states and each time you got to the wooden puzzle piece of Oklahoma on the USA map, you'd pause and hold the state like a gun and say "bang, bang"? Well, that is kinda what the state is currently doing to the children. Yes, thanks to the heroic efforts of two state legislators, Gus Blackwell and Josh Breechen (both Republican) who introduced House Bill 1674 that would forbid teachers from penalizing students who turn in papers attempting to debunk almost universally accepted scientific theories such as biological evolution and anthropogenic (human-driven) climate change. This includes the FACT that human's rode dinosaurs to and from church, the Walmart and back to church.

Ah, Nero. Remind you of any Speaker of the House you might know?

March 1 is coming up awful quick, but the GOP and much of the House is still in recess.

In his State of the Union speech, one of President Obama's objectives for America was to provide access to education for as many people as possible. From Head Start to affordable college loans, making America smarter is worthy goal. It will be hard as long as we (as a nation) celebrate celebrity (and notoriety) and sport over intelligence. There's also that pesky Republican drive to make Americans suspicious of science.

We need to do something, because boy - are we stupid.

August 2011:
House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said he got "98 percent" of what he wanted in the final deal to raise the debt ceiling.

"When you look at this final agreement that we came to with the White House, I got 98 percent of what I wanted. I'm pretty happy," Boehner said in an interview with CBS News on Monday evening.

Good Morning.

Today is our 4,153rd day in Afghanistan.

We'll start this morning as we always do; with the latest casualty figures from our ongoing war, courtesy of Antiwar.com:

US Military Deaths - Afghanistan: 2,177
Other Military Deaths - Afghanistan: 1,080

We find this morning's Cost of War passing through:

$ 1, 424, 994, 850, 000 .00


Since yesterday was President's day, we'll do something a little different today.

How many Presidents wore the uniform?

A Massive Cover up? Perhaps.
Author: Raine    Date: 02/18/2013 16:32:03

Is it about Hagel? Is it about President Obama or is it about what McCain actually knows? Yesterday, in a surprise yet another appearance on Sunday talk show Meet the Press, Senator John McCain -- or as Dave Wiegal call him: The President of Pressistan -- claimed there is a massive cover-up surrounding the events of September 11, 2012

It's not a Party Without the T

Ah, Texas; the "Lone Star" state. The state that gave us the roughest, toughest, meanest, nastiest President ever! And even her son, George W Bush became President later on. Land of the super nuts like Ron and Rand Paul (Rand grew up there),Louis Gohmert, Randy "Screaming 'Baby Killer'" Neugebauer, and the guy who apologized to BP Oil after the spill, Joe Barton. Also, Rick "Whoops" Perry (we sure loved you wearing that Brokeback Mountain jacket, dude) and who can forget Texas Rep. Lamar Smith, who once told a group of college students that “the greatest threat to America is not necessarily a recession or even another terrorist attack…The greatest threat to America is a liberal media bias".

And now we have Jr. Sen. Ted Cruz.

Texas - land of the dinosaurs.

Saturday Open

I couldn't bring myself to write about Scouts for the third week in a row. At least today is our Blue & Gold banquet....we're CELEBRATING Scouting instead of DEFENDING it this week.

Get out and play in that new snow!

Except the Southern branch of the blog, I hate you all.
