.... and for those of you who e-mailed your concern, I thank you, but I am fine. Between being immersed in the GOP convention and working on my other project... I dropped the reins and lost control of my day.
I am struggling to complete the sequel to my first book, The Judge... Is Not The Jury, in time for a November release. Many fine folks have allowed as how that they hope to be able to buy the sequel as a Christmas gift this year to give to those folks that they gave 'The Judge..." to last year...
I'll keep plugging. This upcoming sequel, tentatively named "Judgement Daze", carries on with some of the same great characters but follows a crime spree across the nation, not just Texas. But more about that later.
Enjoy the Dem Convention - I just read a partial list of their proposed speakers, and if they'da let me pick 'em, I couldn't have done any better myself. Pelosi, Reid, Kerry, and the rest of the usual suspects..... I hope Debbie Whazzerschitz does the Keynote!

Finally! Some fact checkers are fact checking the self acclaimed 'fact checkers'!
Seems like every time a Republican opens his/her mouth lately, some self proclaimed 'fact checker' at the Washington Post, USA Today, or other DNC pamphlet is prompted to release their Pinocchio's or Pants on Fire awards......
Fortunately, we have come full circle now, and some less biased media outlets are 'fact checking' those fact checkers and surprise..........! Some of those so called truth tellers.... ain't!!
No my only hope is that Mr & Mrs Joe Sixpack, who are struggling to stay afloat and don't have time to do all the background reading.... are being exposed to the real 'Fact Checkers"...... one can only hope!
Here is an example of applying truthyness to the self serving name callers:
The Media's 'Fact Check' Smokescreen"

Best Applause line of GOP Convention not said from the podium....
Of all the soaring rhetoric we heard from the podium the last couple of days, and Whee Doggies, there were some great lines..... the best line I heard was given in an interview up in the FOX booth when Texas Senator to be Cruz was speaking with Caputo.
The topic turned to the Hispanic vote (naturally) and at one point, Cruz drew back and looked at Caputo: "We can argue all we want about immigration, legal or illegal, but as a friend of mine pointed out one day, 'Have you ever seen a Hispanic panhandler?', he asked." And then he answered his own question - it's a matter of pride. To be a panhandler is to admit failure......
Well shucks folks, I live down here in Texas in an area that is over 50% Hispanic and after giving it serious thought --- I've got to agree, I have never seen a Mexican or Hispanic appearing panhandler either on the street or standing on the freeway street corners.. Have you?
The second be
st line of the week came from Paul Ryan in his nomination acceptance speech..... it struck such a chord that it's already been developed into a striking GOP poster ad........
(if you can't read it, click on it, then hit return)
If you still can't read the small print, it says: "College graduates should not have to live out their 20s in their childhood bedrooms, staring up at fading Obama posters and wondering the can move out and get going with life." - Paul Ryan

Just wonderin'?
I've watched many MSM headlines today regarding Hurricane Isaac. Even calling the GOP cold for not cancelling their convention because of the hurricane.
Tonight, I hear --- one...... ONE......ONE death has been attributed to this hurricane. I regret that death -- but I compare it to the 100 plus, ONE HUNDRED PLUS, deaths by murder in New Orleans this year.......... 1/100%? Hmmmm"
http://www.npr.org/2012/07/05/155986277/new-orleans-struggles-with-murder-rate-and-trust
Maybe it's time we quit listening to the Dimwits and started thinking about the 'can-do's"...... What do you think?

I've been sitting here all day waiting for last night's ratings to be released. The three broadcast MSM network numbers were out early this morning.... the cable news shows numbers were just released.....

Couple of GOP Convention comments..... for what they are worth...
-- I've had several e-mails from folks who were disappointed that there warn't more attacks on Obamanation by name last night. Frankly, I thought the speeches were pretty strong and certainly on point. That ex-Dim, Congressman Artur Davis, and the rising star, Mia Love from Utah being shining examples. Those were wake up calls to the Americans among us who have been kept in government bondage for the last fifty years... promised the world every four years and then promptly forgotten.
-- I got the distinct impression from Christie, Santorum, Haley, Walker, Kasich and others, that they were not only signalling the charge across the country, but signalling to the current and past members of the RNC, that the status quo ain't gonna make it. They are the new faces of the Party, their voices are the new voices, and those silver haired country club fellers better get with it, or get out of the way. (p.s. - I think they were talking to Romney as well)
-- And finally, I thought that Ann Romney took the Dim's accusation about a Republican 'war on women' and hung them from their own petard!!
Great evening.. I'm glad many bloggers noted that MSNBC did not show a single minority speaker all evening.. Broke away every time! Now neither one of their two viewers will ever know that the GOP is a party of the big tent! And it's getting bigger!

Well knock me down, and call me an unbeliever!!
Who would have ever thought I would see this One Minute commercial on the left leaning .... Politico.com?
I'd be more surprised to see a John Wayne commercial extolling the virtues of the North Koreans.....
A late term abortion victim who survived.... and questions Obamanation's four votes for 'letting abortion survivors die on the shelf'!! Who'da thunk it?
http://www.politico.com/blogs/burns-haberman/2012/08/sba-list-to-launch-missouri-ads-against-obama-on-abortion-133435.html
And in Missouri too! You know, the home of foot in mouth, Todd Akin!

Sometimes...... a pretty face is......
Unfortunately, sometimes, a pretty face is ..... just that, ...a pretty face.I had heard about Jennifer Granholm for years. the Canadian born gob'nor of Michigan who was such a bright star on the Dim's class roster that they were trying to find away to get around that silly requirement of natural born citizenship to be POTUS thing.... again.
What little I knew about her was that she governed for eight years over the demise of the great state of Michigan, watched Detroit become the poster city for crime in both city hall and the streets, and watched the fearful disintegration of the total infrastructure as bid'nesses fled the state. She was replaced, needless to say - by a Republican!!
So yesterday, I innocently switched over to ABC's Sunday Morning George Snuffulopolis panel show and among the five panelists, between George Will and Mary Matalin, sat Gob'nor Granholm - perky middle aged blond with the pretty face looked like she was giving her best shot at keeping up with two of the brighter minds in the country. She not only lost with her repetitive quotes of DNC talking paper sound bites.... well, let me put it this way - if it were a horse race instead of a debate.... she'd still be running around the far turn today!
I was surprised... honestly surprised at the vacuum between this lady's ears. What could the people of Michigan have been thinking? I hear she now works on Gorebot's Current TV network where she broadcasts nightly to both folks in her listening audience.
I understand she won a beauty contest once; Do you reckon she came across like Jr Miss South Carolina ?
Disgusting? Yes! --- Surprising? No!!
When Neil Armstrong passed on last week, America lost a true hero. That word 'hero' is too often overused and applied to a Friday night football star, a fund raiser, or a single mom. America, like most countries have had very few TRUE heroes. Neil Armstrong was one of them.I will not bore you with all the reasons I feel this way - you are either aware of them -- or not.
My point in this post is simply to point out the Moon-high degree of narcissism that possesses that feller in the Oval Office. Of all the sterling words has at his fingertips to remember the first man to set foot on the moon in the history of the universe.... Obamanation chose to offer two short non-inspired sentences and post them with his (his as in Obama's) picture. And not even a new one - it's months old.
A pox on him and his ego - C'mon November 6th!!! He has become an embarrassment.

Holy Times, Batman, the Gray Lady is leaking water.....
In an unusual flash of honesty and integrity, the Public Editor of the New York Times (AKA - DNC Daily Leaflet), Arthur Brisbane opined: ...that his fellow staffers "share a kind of political and cultural progressivism" that "virtually bleeds through the fabric of The Times." Brisbane even argued that Times reporters approached some liberal issues, like gay marriage and the Occupy movement, "more like causes than news subjects."
Never one to let a truth slip over the outgoing transom of the Gray Lady, Executive Editor, Jill Abramson quickly retorted: "... that in covering some social and cultural issues, the Times sometimes reflects its urban and cosmopolitan base,"...
I cannot fathom the degree of elitism and arrogance that would prompt that response. I reckon she was explaining why all us gun totin', Bible reading, yokels across the land just don't get it.
As rapidly as the Times is sinking into a sea of red ink in it's own quagmire of drooping sales, subscriptions, and advertising income, her statement is perilously close to the editor of the Titanic's Shipboard Newspaper berating passengers who question the lack of boat drills.
Ah, but I forget, she is the Editor of the New York Times, and with their reputation for plagiarism, she probably stole those lines from that poor feller.
When the Time's ship starts to seriously list before she goes under, I sure hope we don't hear any caterwauling from some cronies in Congress or the White House that she is too big to fail!!

Dunno how many of you watched Obamanations four question press conference the other day.....
But Jay Leno apparently had a friend there in the audience with a video camera. We used to call this, 'Suspicions Confirmed' !!

Joltin' Joe Bite-me cancelling out Tampa? What a shame....
It is too bad that Joe Biden is now not going to the Republican National Convention to hold high the flag of his party. People make fun of his gaffes, of his embarrassing verbal forays, but he's no fool and he knows how to take it to the other guy.
The speech he was working on, to have been given in the heart of downtown, just across from the convention site, would have stirring and stentorian:
"All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Tampa, and, therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words, 'Ich bin ein Tampon!"
(Thanks and a tip o' the stetson to Marine Vet Ron, up in Kansas)

A comic break before my serious next post below...
Okay, now that you are smiling (Thanks to the good folks @ Hope n' Change) you can move down to the ugly truth...... in the next post.Obamanation's "It's all about me" takes on global proportions!!!
It was pretty telling when Obamanation's administration encouraged defense companies to break the law and not send out Pink Slips to the tens of thousands of soon to be laid off workers until after the election....
It was even more obvious of BO's chilling coldness when they sent millions of dollars to the states across the nation to 'keep people at their jobs until after November 6th'.(See my post, Aug 17, 'walking around money' below) After the election - he obviously doesn't care.
But this morning, I bring up today's edition of the Belfast Telegraph and find that my POTUS has spent the week on the phone in conference calls with European leaders lobbying them to prop up the Nation of Greece.......... until after the election. Then they can do what they want.
Wasn't that how Queen Victoria of England turned her back on the starvation in Ireland? How Stalin starved millions of farmers? How Mao let millions die in the long march?
Prop Greece up until after our election --- then throw it out of the European Union and let it sink or swim?
As my mother-in-law used to say ..... "Lord, Luv-a-duck, what have we come to?"

University of Virginia to BO....... Thanks but no thanks!
I note with interest that the UVA declined the self-invite of the Obamation entourage to take over their campus next Wednesday, the 2nd day of school and 3rd day of the GOP Convention in Tampa. 
In their very - very polite No Thanks letter, they pointed out that such a visit would required cancelling 186 classes on the second day of school, put the total costs for security, overtime, and related costs directly on the University not the campaign, and generally foul things up.
Go elsewhere they said, your very laws say that if we host one candidate, then we have to host the others, we have work to do here thank you very much.
To the University of Virginia officials, I say Right On!! Someone needs to stand up to these bully boys. Last I hear, only a small bakery, "Crumb and Get It" has the courage to refuse them. I note that the bakery is also in Virginia.... Roanoke!
Lot of patriots and brave souls in the State of Virginia. Hope their voters read a lot!!

My last word on that dumb ass GOP group pile-on Todd Akin!
I said about all I care to say about this insanity, inanity?, two posts down, but then came across this great 'toon by Lisa Benson. It speaks volumes!Plumb proud, I'm not the only one to question these school kids in long pants.
I reckon from the pachyderm's eyes, that he feels like if he ignores the Wing Passenger, he'll go away!
Ain't gonna happen! They have pooped in their mess-kit yet again.
I said this is my last word, but I didn't promise not to let somebody else make a point. Here is a great column by Diana West, on Townhall.com.

About that Todd Akin feller in Missouri.....
I've had a couple of e-mails wanting to know why I haven't addressed it, or at least made a joke about it... Simply put, I haven't addressed it because every other blogger, pundit, and 'holier-than-thou' yahoo with a keyboard already has. And I haven't joked about it because I don't see any humor in the situation...
But here goes..... when I'm finished, give me ten seconds to duck under my desk before you throw things.
Before we can address the Todd Akin question, we need a quick quiz:
Is Todd Akin;
a. Terminally stupid?
b. Hopelessly misogynistic?
c. Truly misguided in his beliefs?
d. None of the above?
My answer is frankly, Answer 'd'.... none of the above. In my mind, his one big out of the park error was using the word 'legitimate' in the same sentence as rape. Sheesh, talk about lighting a short fuse on a huge bomb!
I immediately did some Googling, and find the man to be totally against murdering babies in the womb. Don't get me wrong, I'm no right to life zealot nor do I wear a Cross on my sleeve. I'm not against next day abortion pills, and, in needed instances I'm not against abortion in the first trimester. But Pilgrims, when it comes to slicin' and dicin' and flushing a viable, pain feeling, almost baby just for convenience sake and because you can't hear him/her scream - then I'm agin it! Even if our POTUS voted for it and worse.
Now, back to SFB Akin (if you ever served in the military, you know what SFB is the acronym for) and his statement. Having read it several times, and looked at his political web sites, and his background, I feel certain that what he was saying was (paraphrased of course) 'Forcible, violent rape attacks rarely cause pregnancy.....".
And a little surfing brings out the fact that only about 2% or 3% of 'forcible' rape attacks actually result in pregnancy. It has nothing to do with a woman's body shutting down, it's just a matter of the odds and percentages of ovulation, conception, fertilization, etc. So Akins was right on his numbers but wrong on the reasons.
Setting that aside... as a true right to lifer, I believe that the man was just saying what he felt..... "Why murder a baby, because it was conceived during the crime of rape?" There are other options ... which I won't list here 'cause we all know them.
So, I give the man a D for making his debate point, but an A for standing up for his convictions. A trait rarely found in politicians these days..
But, when all the screaming is over, and everybody stops beating their phony baloney chests (note I didn't say breasts), the good folks of Missouri will decide at the polls whether Mr. Akins should be their senator. Not you - and not me - and not Obamanation or Ann Coulter.
As an afterthought, have you ever noticed that whenever a Right to Lifer gets questioned by the press, the first loud and long question is, "But, But, But, what about in the case of incest and rape?"
Meanwhile, more than a million babies are murdered in this civilized country EVERY YEAR and nobody asks; But, but, but, how many Jonas Salks, Condoleeza Rice's, Bill Gates, Thomas Edisons, & Henry Fords are murdered in those wombs every year?"
How many times was Ted Kennedy reelected by his Massachusetts constituents after causing the death of an almost baby girl in the back seat of his car. How popular is Bubba Clinton with his party right now after being found guilty of lying about one illegal affair and being accused of many more uninvited forays by responsibly aged women?
C'mon.... get serious....

C'mon.... get serious....
It's only a rumor mind you.....
... but I heard from a very reliable source in Rhode Island, that sometime between election day, November 6th, and when Obamanation has to pack his bags on January 20th, he is going to sign one more Executive Order: He is going to rename California's San Andreas Fault............. "George Bush's Fault"
Prince Harry faces more than the Queen.....
After playing naked leap frog with his pretty friends in a Las Vegas high roller suite, young Prince Harry about to get 'upbraided' when he get's home. When his Daddy, the Prince of Horse'n Around, get's done with him, he has to answer to the Army. He is an officer and a gentleman after all.
With my twenty plus years in the US Military, I've been administered my share of butt chewings, and shared a few as well..... but I don't think I ever did it this seriously:
"The prince is expected to receive a dressing down from the military when he returns to his Army base in Wattisham in Suffolk within the coming days.

"The prince is expected to receive a dressing down from the military when he returns to his Army base in Wattisham in Suffolk within the coming days.
Military codes of conduct warn officers that the must maintain high standards of professionalism “both on and off operations” and experts said he would likely be censured.
A former instructor at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, said the Prince is most likely to face an “interview without coffee”.
Yee Gads...... an interview without coffee? This must go back to the whippin' days of Captain Bligh. There oughtta be a law. At least 'tea' I hope!
By the way, as I read this in every newspaper in the land, I wondered what happened to that expression, "What happens in Las Vega.... stays in Las Vegas." And then I read that one of his fellow partiers, did the old 'cell phone photo' trick and sold the two pics for £10,000 ($15,890).. So much for friends.

Here is a 'downer' pill we all need to swallow......
...you may have already seen this video. If so, I hope you'll watch it again and refer your friends to it.... November 6th is more than just a popularity contest this year.... it's a potential 'suicide pact' by a 100 million American Voters...~

Children of America............ arise!!!
By rough estimate, there are 60 Million children in America under the age of 14!!Arise children, grab your parents by their ears and make them read this post.
Michelle Antoinette, FLOTUS of the POTUS - the one without the TOTUS, but with the garden tended by the taxpayer's gardeners, just hosted a State Dinner for Kids.... on your daddy's tax dollar of course.
On the menu? Cabbage Sloppy Joes, Zucchini Fries, Kale Chips, Black Bean & Corn Salad......
Need I say more kids? Get yer folks out this November 6th or this will be your mandated school lunch menu and probably, the State Inspected Home Dinner menu. Your family doctor, will take your weight and height, after asking if you feel abused, or if there is a gun in the house, will next ask......did you have a 'Cabbage Sloppy Joe' for dinner last night??
Arise -- you have nothing to fear but she and her husband that sneak out for hamburgers ......
Don't tell anyone, but I hear Mr & Mrs Romney and Ryan like fun food, fun exercise, horses, fishing and laughing!!
The dumbing down of America.....
By now we have all seen this picture of a Walmart sign and wondered..... is it real or is it photo shopped??I was sure it was photo shopped until I read a recipe in our local paper yesterday for making Lindy's (of New York) Cheesecake.
It started off by saying, you need 2½ pounds of cream cheese (or five 8 ounce packages)...
Duh..... if the cook goes to Walmart, I reckon that takes care of one hand..... anyway.
Read that cream cheese line again, Partner, and decide if you needed help with the math.....
Two Pictures I never thought I'd live to see....
Yup! Those hundreds of people lined up in this pic on the right are UNION Coal Miners lined up this last Tuesday waiting to attend a rally for Mitt Romney.... a Republican!!!Who'd would have ever dreamed that the Dims would create such a loser POTUS that American union workers would line up to support one of the folks with an 'R' after their name?
And then there is this picture. It literally says a thousand words as these coal miners stand in line to shake his hand and wish him well.
I'm not sure why there is any surprise, before they voted for him last time, Obamanation promised to break the back of the coal industry and bankrupt any coal generated electricity producing plants.
Welcome to the real world Miners, your ranks are gaining strength!
Thank You Road
Very rarely do I just cut and paste somebody else's work in it's entirety. I may quote, I may link, and I may comment. But every now and then, I read an item that is so on point, so succinct, that I just re-print it just as it reads.

Thank you, road
She is beautiful and virginal, the freshly paved road guiding me to my office this morning. She lies there immobile, flat and black as the American coal industry. She stretches out before me like our debt.
Tears of gratitude, impervious to my windshield wipers, overwhelm me. I’m sure these other drivers, rising to work while others snooze, feel the same.
We drive quietly and respectfully, following each other, in orderly lanes like parishioners in church pews. Our thoughts hum together in mental chorus, a social symphony of appreciation. My pious commute is a privilege, a pilgrimage of thankfulness. The tar-like smell of newly poured asphalt is the perfume of our profit, soon to be re-distributed.
This street is more than pavement and car horns and the lady one Nissan over doing her makeup in the rear view mirror. This is our autobahn of accomplishment. This is the road to American success.
Who needs to work harder or be smarter than their competitors when they have a road like this? Hallelujah. I tune my XM radio to MSNBC to hear a hymn of appreciation for government’s work.
My president is smart. He has read many books about work. He has consulted academic experts. He is as bright as the sun that shines on this idle road-crew. Their neon-orange vests, stained by sandwiches from Subway, reflect his undimmed brilliance. He sees what we cannot, beyond our own meager inventiveness and effort.
He understands, as lesser beings don’t, that we are part of a greater whole, a community that has enabled good fortune to come to me, though it is I who will lose everything if the business tanks.
I am smart. I have worked hard. So have others, my president reminds me. My weakness, I must admit, then shames me.
My contribution is not what makes the difference. I forget it is others who are responsible for our triumphs, the same way government won our gold medals at the Olympics. I must thank this road crew, now leaning on their shovels. And my teachers, though they were notoriously absent those decades I labored in editing rooms until 3 a.m.
My fellow drivers and I, queued like cows on this lane of luxury, we are not worthy. We are undeserving.
After all, we did not build this road. Government did.
We only paid for it.

What did that young feller John Dean, tell Richard Nixon --"There is a cancer growing in the White House." ?
First we had this scene out on the stump.......
And then it started to metastasize and developed into this......
How low can it go.....??
And then it started to metastasize and developed into this......
How low can it go.....??The alarm clock went off apparently....
I noted with interest that the NATO Commander in Afghanistan, American General Allen, has been apprised of the fact that Afghan security forces have been shooting coalition forces with their shiny new weapons when they were handed to them.
Apparently stymied by this situation, after much brain trust work, the four star general decided to let the coalition forces put bullets in their guns!! Brilliant strategy. Well, I exaggerate a little, they can only lock their ammo clips into their weapons now, but they can't lock and load a cartridge into the firing chamber until some bad guy starts shooting at them. But it's a start.
Heck. Ole' Andy Griffith figured this out years ago when he let Barney Fife carry a bullet in his shirt pocket!
Next thing you know, even those folks in the White House will know we are at war and our young men and women are getting killed over there. I think they have forgotten!
And with such a keen military mind as that Panetta fella as Secretary of Defense.. what a surprise.....

Change of subject to..........
......... the 'Greenies' trying to take over our lives.
Perhaps a better title to this post would be, "Another example of the Law of Unintended Consequences".
Across the nation, but starting in the land of Nuts & Flakes naturally, there has been a movement away from those evil disposable plastic bags. The gob'mints have gone past encouraging the use of re-usable bags to to the point where stores are banned from using plastic bags.
Guess what? The death rate among seniors and infants from E-Coli and Coliform bacteria has increased by over 50% in those areas? Why? Because these bags don't get washed, because they are stored in warm cars, and because it's natures way of saying we are stupid, stupid, STUPID!!
This short three minute video compares the $7 million cost of a persons death vs the $7K cost of a dead bird ---- pretty cold math -- but pretty hard facts!
Why do Conservatives just live their chosen life style and Liberals spend their time, 24/7 insisting everybody else lives their greenie/vegan/organic (pick one) life style.
I reckon for the same reason that Al Gorebot will leave his Mega-Mansion, be driven by a weapon carrying chauffeur in a gas guzzling SUV to the airport, climb on a huge carbon footprint private jet, fly 500 miles, be met by a gas guzzling limo - and then go in to give a twenty minute talk to 200 do-gooder morons who paid for the lecture on saving the environment.
Stupid is as Stupid does!! Forest Gump's momma got it right~~ but who is the more stupid, the Greenie Al Gorebots or those of us who buy this insanity?
Hmm, I wonder if Eco-darwinism is a word?

I note with interest.....
... and with disgust, disappointment, and nose droppings... that the British Department of Education & Skills has noted an increasing number of British schools that are dropping all teaching of the Holocaust from it's history lessons. This is being done, apparently, to avoid offending Muslim students. ???
They also, it seems, dropped any mention of the Crusades because British history is at odds with what is taught in local mosques.
I wonder what they teach about the ethnicity of the terrorist Lockerbie Bombing of Pan Am Flight 103? Just a bunch of fun loving atheists out on a lark?
What's next, British schools will delete WWII from their primers to make nice - nice to the Germans and Italians and not embarrass the French? The Rape of Nanking was just school yard pranks by bored Japanese soldiers?
Well heck, one good thing I reckon, British School kids might one day be taught that the 'Rebellion of 1776' was just an "Occupy Boston" sit in.... so they don't offend any Yanks visiting their country.
It's a sick sick world out there! By the way, Partners, getting back to the point, I thought the Germans perpetrated the 'holocaust'...... not the Muslims. What am I missing here?
No Spam or sausage in those Brit schools for lunch either - it's the pork y'know!

Editorial Cartoons of the day...
As in every election season, 
there is a veritable plethora of well done editorial cartoons. Here are just a couple of today's best.
And here's one for the thinking voters among us.... why do I get the feeling that when somebody finally does prick that big government ballooned body, it's gonna create the greatest whooshing sound in history?

And here's one for the thinking voters among us.... why do I get the feeling that when somebody finally does prick that big government ballooned body, it's gonna create the greatest whooshing sound in history?"Walking around money" is getting bigger by the millions...
Walking around money:
"Also called street money. Political Slang . cash sums given by political managers, district leaders, or the like, to grass-roots workers and others for expenses incurred while canvassing for votes or doing other chores before an election."
Time was when a few hundred bucks or a few thousand in the right community organizer's pockets or the local preachers plate could furnish all the votes necessary to win the next election. Apparently not any more...... so now of course - they want us taxpayers to foot these larger bills.
On Monday, Aug 13, the US Labor Department announced that they were making $100 MILLION dollars in GRANTS (read no pay back) to the various states to keep people on the job. Ostensibly to give employers an alternative to layoffs (coincidentally three months before a national election), this money will be given to employers for their use to supplement the difference between part time pay and full time pay for employees otherwise marked for layoffs or cutbacks. And keep those folks happy until after November 6th.
This from a government that can't even keep track of hundreds of tax refund checks going to one address. I can see the hustlers across the country licking their chops.
I'm sure y'all think I make this kinda stuff up - 'cause it's hard to believe.... but I'll link you to a couple of different sources, one of which is the Dept of Labor, itself.
Anybody have any doubts if the bulk of this money will find it's way into the battle ground states? I don't! Gives a whole new meaning to that expression "You didn't win that election - the taxpayers bought it for you!"

CNS News August 15th
The POTUS is first and foremost "THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF" !!
... of the all volunteer Armed Forces of the United States of America!!!
Do either Obamanation or Romney remember that?
Of all the stump speeches I've heard from both of these two candidates, including both soaring rhetoric and bottom feeding mudslinging, I have heard neither speak to, about, or for our young men and women in uniform!
Two hundred and nineteen have died in Afghanistan alone this year --- Forty were killed just in July. These numbers don't include the wounded and maimed.
Where are the words of concern and plans to withdraw these folks from harms way?
Similar numbers of our uniformed brothers and sisters have died by their own hand during this period. 187 active-duty and reserve soldiers have committed suicide during these first seven months of 2012. Thirty-eight just in July. And these are just the acknowledged suicides, not the ignored or uninvestigated deaths.
Where is the outcry? What will Commander in Chief Obamanation do different if he gets a second term? What is Commander in Chief Romney plan to stop this loss of life if he gets elected?
These are the questions we should be asking.... Not these damned foolish questions about tax returns or rounds of golf or Michelle's $7,000 shirts....
These good men and women are patriot volunteers, not third world conscripts, and they deserve the full attention of their Commander-in-Chief!!
Not to mention the voters of the USA!
We as a Nation, are at war, and apparently those folks in the ivory towers of the White House don't realize or feel the need to recognize that fact.....

And so another week slips by....
I hate to sound like Johnny One-Note partners, but has anybody noticed that this entire week, the political air in this country has been concentrated on Joltin' Joe Bite-Me's verbal gaffes -- and on whether Obamanation should drop him from the ticket?
What am I saying?
What I am saying is during another of the very few weeks left in these 83 days till November 6th, we have one once again had our eyes taken off the pea under the shell game.
No discussions of the economy, the continued jobless rate, government spending, the deficit, the debt --- and the abysmal lack of recovery. Naw, we are concentrating on whether Hellery will be the next Veep! We are watching Biden continue to stumble like Ross Perot's crazy uncle in the basement....
This week Hellary has been the Queen in this high stakes game of Three Card Monte!
In two short weeks, attention will be directed first at the GOP convention in Tampa and then on the Dim's convention in Charlotte. Our concerns will be whether the Dims change the name of Bank of America Stadium to Panther Stadium. Or whether the union leaders will abide in non-union hotels.....
Still keeping our eye on the rapidly switching hands, not the 'Pea'!
The MSM leads, and the Sheeple follow.......
Eighty-three days, folks, 83 days!
I wonder what Axelrod and Jarret have in store for us next week? A flash mob in Chicago? A forest fire in Idaho? Or saber rattling by Iran? Probably a witness that Paul Ryan gave the bird to a hall monitor in grade school.... Anything but the topics we should be discussing......

Ain't it the truth.....
Kinda like watching Brian Williams evening news on NBC.... or Chris Matthews anytime!
I received a really long E-mail over the transom last night....
... but it contained a very brief truism that I thought I would share today. Simple! Easy to understand! And speaks volumes about our world today!
"If Muslims & Islamists put down all of their weapons today - tomorrow there would be peace in the Middle East."
"If Jews put down all of their weapons today - tomorrow there would be no Israel in the Middle East"
Hmm, that Koran (Quran) and Muslim religion is such a peaceful thing, isn't it?

Obamanation's now infamous comment was right.... maybe
At least as far as explaining how he got to be POTUS!!Not to mention a few other accomplishments that BO tries to take personal credit for.......
His Opposition candidates have always seemed to magically disappear.... haven't they?
Shortest, most powerful editorial argument I ever saw.....
This editorial by Columnist Andrew McCarthy (of National Review) came in over my transom in the middle of the night. It was a greater wake-up call that my morning cup of dark Colombian coffee... take a minute and watch your eyes pop open....
(Thanx Al)
"If Mitt wins the nomination, I will enthusiastically support his candidacy. For my friends who have hesitation on that score, I'd just ask you to keep four things in mind:
1.. Justice Scalia just turned 78
2.. Justice Kennedy will turn 78 later this year
3.. Justice Breyer will be 76 in August
4.. Justice Ginsburg turned 81 about a week ago.
We wish them all well, of course, but the brute fact is that whoever we elect as president in November is almost certainly going to choose at least one and maybe more new members of the Supreme Court of the United States, in addition to hundreds of other life-tenured federal judges, all of whom will be making momentous decisions about our lives for decades to come.
If you don't think it matters whether the guy making those calls is Mitt Romney or Barack Obama, I think you're smokin' something funky... So for anybody who is thinking of not voting because your favorite didn't get nominated, or writing in a candidate who can't win...
Imagine this:
SUPREME COURT JUSTICE ERIC HOLDER!
or this:
SUPREME COURT JUSTICE HILLARY CLINTON!
SUPREME COURT JUSTICE ERIC HOLDER!
or this:
SUPREME COURT JUSTICE HILLARY CLINTON!
After you have stopped gasping, kindly pass this along to your list of concerned citizens.
(Thanx Al)

Big announcement finally out!!!
Well, Well - by now everybody in the Nation (except Pelosi & Biden maybe) have heard of Romney's brilliant choice for VEEP... Imagine, choosing the greatest expert in the country on the National Budget - to be your Vice President when the biggest problem, the numero uno time bomb --- is the National Budget.
Even as a lowly young congressman, he chewed up Obamanation in Budget discussions. You can see the open acceptance that BO shows when he hears the truth!

Couldn't resist .......
After suggesting this scenario twice this last week, I just couldn't resist sharing the latest from 'Hope n' Change' on the same topic.Apparently, I'm not the only one that sees this possibility.........

Joe (Bite-me) Biden still among the missing.....
I mentioned last Wednesday (see below) that Joltin' Joe (he's from Scranton, y'know) Biden has been missing in action the last couple of weeks.Don't know if Romney's announcement of Paul Ryan will bring him out of the woodwork or bury him deeper'n Jimmy Hoffa...
On the other hand, he might simply just still be chasing that ICE CREAM TRUCK!
(A retired vet from the PRMD (Peoples' Republic of Maryland) shared this candid shot)
Some times there is a very simple answer to a simple question....
In this case, the simple question would be: 'Why, in the face of overwhelming evidence, has there been no gob'mint prosecution of Goldman-Sachs, Jon Corzine, and the rest of these 'bank' robbers and thieves.
Here in this one simple chart, is the blatant answer to that simple question:

Stephanie (Pinocchio) Cutter, Obama's Deputy Campaign Manager
Not to worry folks, I'm not gonna rehash the lies of this creature that calls herself an American.Nor am I gonna repeat myself that these folks just don't care if they get caught lying ..... as long as they win.
And I'm certainly not gonna point out that in Obamanation's cabal of liars and misfits and un-Americans..... she fits right in.
Although he brought it all on himself, I have a little empathy (not sympathy) for Mr. Soptic, he who started it all - but only because he is just a simple tool of these users. He saw his fifteen minutes coming and grabbed it. Now he will forever be branded as as big a liar as Ms Cutter, Pelosi, Reid, Axelrod, and Carey.
Bless his heart - I hope his wife forgives him.
American Politics and Vince Lombardi.....
It appears to your ole' host here, that Gob'nor Romney and the GOP just don't get it. They are campaigning like the Dim candidate is Hubert Humphrey (the Happy Warrior) or Michael Dukakis or Walter Mondale.....
Well guess what Pilgrims, they ain't!! Any relationship between those gentlemen and the current Alinsky trained, Ayres mentored, Chicagoland experienced, current occupant of the Oval Office is in party name only.
Vince Lombardy famously said: "Winning isn't everything - it's the only thing!"
Well, you can bet your last cartwheel that with literally TRILLIONS of our tax dollars in play to hand out to their friends and cronies over the next four years, and with the rare opportunity to put the Dims in control forever (or at least until the USA, like Greece, folds in on itself) by getting a majority of the public on the dole -- waiting for that gob'mint check--- and voting as they are told: The Dim Cabal is, to quote Obamanation hisself, 'Bringing a gun to this knife fight'!!
Come to think of it, that's a strange expression for a POTUS that comes from Murder Capital USA, to bring to the Oval Office.
There ain't no gentleman's politics in this years Dim campaign. The Reid blatantly false tax accusations, the big lie cancer attack ad, the buses now chartered to follow Romney from one campaign stop to the next ...... these are not the work of American politicians.
They are the carefully thought out plan put into operation by a group that sees this election as a war, not a political battle. If (when) they win, who will they have to answer to? If they lose, the GOP will be to busy turning the country away from the edge of the bankruptcy cliff to worry about prosecuting campaign faults.
I noted this week that in the absolute face of their lies being exposed - they just smile and deny, deny, deny. They know full well that any complaints filed with the so called election overseers won't even be investigated till next spring sometime. By then, who cares?
Sol Alinsky must be doing fist pumps in his grave!!
And Thomas Jefferson and George Washington must be spinning in theirs!

Obamanation wants to put Marie Antoinette on the payrolll....
How scary is that? We can't even afford her world wide vacation extravagance, much less pay for her time as well. If we're paying BO for his 104 rounds of golf by the millions of our tax dollars, how much would we pay in salaries for her to take a hundred friends to Africa or England?
Ninety days till November 6th? God help us if we don't help ourselves.

The case of the disappearing VEEP!!
Am I the onliest one on the block that has noticed the absence of Joltin' Joe (Bite-me) Biden from the public scene? For at least a couple of weeks so far. On vacation?Seems like a strange time for the Vice President of the United States to pull a Hank Snow and get outta town. Go gaffes, no misstatements, no fun!!!
You don't reckon that a loving, loyal group like the Chicagoland Cabal might have made him an offer he couldn't refuse........... as they decide on a player substitution before the upcoming Dimmocrat convention? Naw - they wouldn't do that, would they?
Random thoughts on 'Hump' day.....
-- Obamanation campaign (or it's surrogate) runs anti-Romney attack ad blaming him for the cancer death of the wife of a former employee of a company that went bankrupt several years after Romney left Blain.....? That's a tough one to figure, particularly when;
-- It comes out that BO's vassal, Toothy Timmy Geithner was the sole decider (during the Gob'ment Motors takeover) to cut the health care and pensions of 20,000 employees who were guilty of the ultimate sin --- they were non-union.
-- BTW, turns out that first campaign ad was a total lie - the wife had ample health insurance when the cancer did to her what cancers do.....
-- Obama signs an Executive Order commanding schools to balance student punishments by race and ethnicity. I reckon he means that if a there are ten infractions among 100 white kids, and 50 infractions among 100 black kids -- all the Asian kids should get their grade level averages lowered from A+ to C- and sent home for a week?
-- Americans demonstrated a new high in their TV viewing acumen - , especially Anderson Cooper and Piers Morgan dropped to an all time low. And if it wasn't for their families tuning in --- its been reported that the ratings would have been half of that low level.
-- And now for the really HOT news -- remember that gal in New Jersey that went from tan to burnt toast in her quest for the worlds darkest tan just a few weeks ago. Well, she was paid to give it up for a month -- came out looking great!
And immediately went back to bed.... tanning bed that is!

An awakening giant? One can only hope.....
Here is a letter to the editor written by a subscriber up in little Tawas City, Michigan, population 2,000!!!
Hopefully Mr Huber's feelings and comments are washing across the nation. God knows, we need all the help we can. (You may need to click on it or use your "Ctrl, mouse roller" to enlarge it)
If it makes sense to you, pass it on - if not --- don't.
{Thanx & a Tip O' the Stetson to my Vet Pal MacMike in Houston)

Best Political Protest Signs?
I was reviewing a whole series of political protest signs looking for the best and the worst.... some are humorous, some are not.This one struck me as probably the most honest one in the series.... but does make you wonder about the sanity of the sign bearer......
