SPRING TRAINING T-MINUS 2 DAYS AND COUNTING!

 

 

BREAKING NEWS:  GeorgieW is out of the batcave, I repeat, she is out of the batcave.  The entrance to the batcave has been blocked with a half empty bottle of Cuervo Gold.   

 

OUR HEROES

It’s too bad the Dems can’t use our magnificent people serving and giving their lives to help others as an example of how to behave.  They are a disgrace and don’t even deserve to be on the planet with men such as Capt. Brian S. Freeman who recently paid the ultimate price for freedom, but left a legacy of what a good American should be.

 

THE GREAT CAT SOAP OPERA

Cute Alert:  Last night when I was heading down to bed I was followed by the whole family except for Miss Piggy.  I looked at Mommy Cat and asked, “Where is Miss Piggy.”  (I swear the following is true)  Mommy Cat goes back up two flights of stairs and brings Miss Piggy down to my bedroom.  Speaking of the little Piggy, she is under my chair, playing with my skirt as I type.   LATER:  I rushed Georgie down to the “pediatrician” (the term “vet” implies “animal”) this evening.  He stayed open for her.  When he saw her, said he was glad I did not wait until tomorrow to take her down.  She’s in very bad shape, emaciated, not doing well.  He is concerned that there is something seriously wrong with her, and has basically warned me if there is, she won’t leave the hospital.  On the other hand, if it is stress, then we’re going to need some “therapy”.  He thinks she is way to thin just to be extremely stressed.  While I was there, I checked up on Bat Masterson.  According to Dr. Franklin, he is “One cool cat.”  He is reclining in his spa suite, slapping everyone with his healing paw.  Dr. Franklin thinks Bat has the potential to be a ‘great cat’.   His current suggestion for catching the birth father is go get a long handled fishing net.  Do you know how difficult it is to find a long handled (or short handled) fishing net in New Mexico?

 

Okay, this one really bothers me.  Algore is hosting a series of global warming concerts this summer, thereby guaranteeing the coolest summer on record.  Blast it all, and Lord Have Mercy on Us All!  I like summer and intensely dislike cold weather.  Would someone please shut this idiot up so I can get warm and wear my sandals and summer clothes.  Every time he opens his mouth is starts to snow.  Let’s just fact the fact that The Good Lord is teaching Algore that He is in charge and not Algore.  Problem is, we’re going to be stuck with a New Ice Age in order for he and his mindless little syncopates to learn their lesson!   

BASEBALL

It’s getting nearer and nearer.  I’m finding email every day now from the Braves.  This one came in today, and all I can say is it’s about time.  Seems the Braves are the first team to even put up an African American Heritage Page!  With their heritage, they’d better.  They need to do something to uphold the honor of Hank Aaron, who’s magnificent, and LEGALLY gained Home Run record is being assaulted by a juiced up twerpy little twit who isn’t fit to carry Hank Aaron’s tar rag, let alone hold the most important record in professional sports. I highly recommend visiting this excellent site!  Then MLB has a wonderful history of the game site. 

 

Speaking of the dirty little juiced up cheater, he finally signed with the Giants.  I still don’t understand where the outrage and the morality of allowing this to continue.  If Shoeless Joe is still out for something he did not do, the little juicy bat should be banned, also.

 

SCIENCE

How long have we been cooking with chili here in New Mexico?

Who were the Etruscans?  

More evidence of water on Mars!

 A new explanation of the Betty Hill UFO star map.   

 

I have a question, if airbag deployment causes hearing loss in 17% of the people in a vehicle when they deploy, why are we forced to use them?  This is a serious number.

Want to know more about the dangers? 

How about a very serious danger of poisoning?

What about the dangers to a pregnant woman?

They are not safe for women.

If you want to know something about the dangers, read this clinical report an EMS physician.  In other words, a woman my size is probably going to be severely injured when the air bag deploys.

 

“…When a body region is in direct contact with the airbag module at the moment of deployment, the amount of concentrated force is more than six times the established human tolerance level. The numbers of serious and fatal injuries in humans in real-world accidents from airbags, such as cardiac rupture, cardiac perforations, the tearing off of fingers and thumbs, bleeding inside the skull, eye trauma, and fractures of the upper arms, are increasing. (Although doctors and patients report these injuries to the national highway traffic safety administration, they do not show up in any of NHTSA's literature or on its website and in fact appear to be unobtainable.)…”

 

IRAN, ISLAM, TERROR

The Utah Mall shooter was a Muslim from Bosnia.   Robert Spencer has an interesting Front Page article, but in many ways does contradict himself by listing the shootings done in this country by Muslims.  Let’s face it, read his list.  There is no way you an argue ‘terror’ when you realize we are dealing with some seriously disturbed individuals here.  Which brings in to play another question?  Is the terror aspect that fact that other forces are manipulating seriously disturbed young men.  If this is the case, just who is the terrorist, the mentally ill youth or the manipulative adult promoting this sort of behavior?   These men are such cowards.  They send others out to die and they sit back and pontificate about it. 

 

COPPERHEADS

commentaries:  Called As Seen  

Flopping Aces has a list of Copperhead Republicans.

 

 REPUBLICANS

I don’t mind admitting my listening of Rush has been sporadic at best lately.  One thing I did pick up on today heartened me greatly.  He let the Libertarians have it!  John Fund on libertarians.

Lindsey opposes the Dems plan to give terror suspects access to federal courts.

 

“…Under legislation, Restoring the Constitution Act of 2007, introduced by Democrat Senators Chris Dodd (D-CT), Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Russ Feingold (D-WI) and Bob Menendez (D-NJ), enemy combatant terror suspects would have expanded rights to file habeas corpus petitions in federal court challenging their detention.  It would also fundamentally weaken the rules governing military tribunals.  “Never in the history of warfare have enemy prisoners been able to bring lawsuits about their detention,” said Graham.  “Thousands of Germans and Japanese soldiers were captured and held by the military during World War II.  Not one case was allowed in federal court where they were allowed to sue for their release.  Our rules for the War on Terror should be no different….”

 

 

LIBERALS & DEMS GONE WILD

Those lovely satirists at The People’s Cube have a new bumper sticker. “My SUV burns less gas than Nancy Pelosi’s Jet!”  

 You just need to read all of today's Strata-sphere.

Would someone please tell this woman to get a life and shut up already yet.  I think this whole thing about the Dems now going at GWB over Iran is all about further diminishing him as a leader and an attempt to destroy him as a President.  Unfortunately the ones who will be diminished in the long run are the Dems and the MSM.  They are not helping themselves.  Right now it looks rough, but it is always darkest before the dawn (geez, I love clichés) and I think the Dems and the MSM have so convoluted what is going on in Iraq that their prevarications and canards are in serious danger of coming back to haunt them, sooner than later.  Blog Lizards  

  

IRAQ

Incredible letter to Rush from one of Ours in Iraq.  You need to read this.

 Red State on the Dems and Iraq.

 

PRIMARIES 2008

Is Obama (the messiah) the Black John Kerry without the laughs?   Novak says Hillary’s supporters are afraid of Obama (the messiah).  They should be.   Flap has a wonderful photo of our next POTUS when confronted by the realization that milk comes from cows and not bottles!  (sorry, family joke)  Nadar’s in if Hillary is nominated.   Romney’s good looks (?) to appeal to the Obama (the messiah) crowd?  Scary.

Captain Ed thinks Rudy is bashing Bush’s handling of the war.  I don’t think he is. Flap on Giuliani and the war. .  At least Hillary HAS the money to PAY for good African American Political Endorsements.  Good thing she has such a large war chest!  Richardson is having a huge fundraiser tonight in ABQ.  What Giuliani actually said about Global Warming.  Just where is Ron Paul?  What is Algore doing?
