The Candidates part 3
Author: velveeta jones    Date: 05/08/2011 14:56:03

Continuing our look at the possible Republican ticket for 2012. Today we will examine another foreign born candidate, Gov. "Bobby" Jindal.

"Bobby" as he calls himself, was allegedly born in Baton Rouge LA but we only have his word on that. On Friday, he claims to have released his Birth Certificate, however, as any true birther will tell you, a "Birth Certificate" is not the same as a "Certificate of Live Birth" and that, my dear friends is what he released.

Diseases of the Spring
Author: TriSec    Date: 05/07/2011 10:42:41

Good Morning!

Another early morning...but no bloodwork today. I'm off to Norwood for some LL Bean kayak training (all day.)

Today, we're going into PSA mode. Every now and again, I'll post a friendly reminder or two about something I think is important. Since I'll be heading down to camp in the danger zone myself next weekend....today it's Lyme disease. Let's face it; ticks are icky to begin with. The fact that they often carry disease just makes them all the more so.

Birth of the Deathers
Author: BobR    Date: 05/06/2011 12:48:57

The Barack Obama 2008 ascendency to President touched off a backlash among a small minority. What started as a sleazy campaign trick to question his citizenship turned into a conspiracy theory among his haters. No matter what evidence was presented, there would be no convincing these people that he actually was (is) a U.S. citizen. The publicity of it had died off until Donald Trump breathed new life into it. Several days before the Navy SEAL operation that took out Osama bin Laden, President Obama released his long-form birth certificate to help put the matter to rest.

That dovetailed nicely with the joint military/CIA action in Pakistan. As the Birther issue was dying the Deather issue was being born, in a curious "circle of life" coincidence.

Today, this is who we are.
Author: Raine    Date: 05/05/2011 12:53:23

Today we are a nation that will not spike the football and show the world that the killing of Osama Bin Laden was a trophy.

It wasn't always that way. After Saddam Hussein was captured on Dember 14, 2003, the 9mm pistol he had on his person was recovered. Somehow, that gun ended up in the Oval office of President Bush. It later went on display at the future site of the Bush Institute on the campus of Southern Methodist University in Dallas. Saddam’s Gun A Symbol That Bush ‘Disarmed Him Literally’
“It represents this Texas notion of the white hats taking out the black hats and keeping the trophy,” Rice University history professor Douglas Brinkley said, referring to Saddam’s pistol. “It’s a True West magazine kind of pulp western mentality. For President Bush, this pistol represents his greatest moment of triumph, like the F.B.I. keeping Dillinger’s gun. He wants people generations from now to see the gun and say, ‘He got the bad guy.’”
Earlier that year, Saddam's sons, Uday and Qusay were killed. Those pictures made their way into major newspapers around the world. I always thought they were leaked. It turns out - I was mistaken. It was quite deliberate from our government.

Coming Full Circle
Author: BobR    Date: 2011-05-04 10:27:21

On September 11, 2001, the nation's psyche suffered a brutal blow from a group of extremists with which most American's were only vaguely familiar. On May 1, 2011, the nation got a sense of closure as the leader of the extremists was brought to justice for the deaths on his hands. The reactions to the story have brought reactions themselves, as people grapple with understanding their feelings, much as they did nearly 10 years ago.

Back then, the nation came together with a sense of unity, verging on jingoism. People across the world proclaimed "we are all Americans". There was a sense of support as Bush ordered troops to penetrate Afghanistan's borders in pursuit of the person publicly held responsible for the attrocities. Some still question whether he was behind the attacks. Few would dispute that he was behind numerous other fatal attacks, and was a source of financing for training and operations carried out against America and other "allied" targets. He painted a target on America's back and handed the gun to the people he helped brainwash.

May 1, 2011
Author: Raine    Date: 05/02/2011 13:06:25

Amazing news. I'm still sitting here trying to write something that matters. I am speechless. I am stunned. I thought he was already dead, and I will admit, it appears I was wrong. I literally thought last night that the news would be that 'American forces found what appeared to be the the remains of Osama Bin Laden. It was confirmed the body was his thru DNA evidence.' Turns out, I was wrong.

He was alive and living in Pakistan. Pakistan.

F*ck the Donald
Author: velveeta jones    Date: 05/01/2011 13:13:15

Seriously, I'm sick to death of this guy. Admittedly, he was amusing for awhile, a very, very short while but now I just want him gone. I am against seeing anyone suffer, but for Donald Trump I might make an exception. And it would be karmic anyway, as I'm pretty sure he has made many people suffer and die.

This [insert adjective choice here: Adulterer - - bully - - draft dodger - - media whore - - Liar - - racist - - greedy] man has even started to loose his shine with the press. The PRESS! The same press that have in the past had to sit through obvious lies from our previous administration and then robotically report them as fact with a perfectly straight face. This press, did indeed 'boo' the Donald and his lovely enslaved human mannequin last night, see/hear it here.[/url

Saturday Open
Author: TriSec    Date: 04/30/2011 10:20:57

Good Morning!

Well, due to poor planning, I've got nothing and no time to research. I'm off to an all-store meeting before opening today, then I have a full 8 hours on the sales floor today.

I'll yield the floor to anyone with the power, if you feel motivated to take over today's blog and give us something better!
