Just had lunch with a friend. I told him about how much you object when the topic of Bush 41 breaking his promise comes up.

He went ballistic. If you think *I'M* hard on Bush, you would turn red if you heard the things he had to say.

Among the more tame things he said was "Bush has publicly demonstrated himself to be a liar, just like Clinton."

That broken promise handed the left all the subsequent power they have been wielding. It got Clinton elected and it got all those Federal Judges appointed and all that bad policy implemented.

That broken promise was a historical turning point at which this nation leaped into insanity and decline, and it was all because one man cared more about being friends with Democrats than he did about keeping a solemn promise to those people who supported him.

It was the sole thing that have made the Clinton Presidency possible. Without the Character issue to attack Clinton with, Bush had nothing.

And it showed back in 92.

Sure looks like a planned event to me, to take the news cycle off of El Jefe and his tyrannical dictate.
And this is frankly, pure evil, using this unrest and likely violence to the ends of the ruling class, using these lives like pieces on a chess board.
Something an honorable man would never allow to happen, much less think on.
Sick and disgusting.

69 It went well, thanks for asking. The producer was happy, the play-by-play guy I was paired with said it was the best one he's done yet, this was his tenth event, first basketball game, so we were heavily dependent on each other. I knew more about hoops, he knew the technical side, like cut aways, breaks, the POG interview, Coaches interview, how all that works. I sat and learned for some things, but called both games the whole way through. Never really at a loss for words, but I'm sure I repeated myself a bunch. Hoping to get a link/copy of the game so I can self-critique. Maybe later today or this weekend.

77 Funny thing about the "First" thing -- which is everywhere on the internet -- most people go through phases:

First, it's super annoying, but over time it can become ironically funny (to them at least) -- precisely because it's so super annoying.

Half the people who post "First!" are the same people who a year ago were screaming at all the immature dickwads posting "First!"

Everyone hates them until one day they open an empty comment-free thread -- and then the temptation strikes!

It's a universal thing on all blog comment sections, sadly. Even the most adult of us fall for it.I once had 8 of the first 10 posts in a comment section, and it was as if I'd OD'd on Viagra. The fact that I'd already run out of pithy things to say by the 5th comment did not negatively affect my turgidity.

Do you believe that pressure from Obama caused them to release their decision at this time? I would think it was a state run courtroom and would not be obviously subject to federal pressure.

I have declared war on our local garbage service. Does this count in the war on wimmen? I am pretty sure they vote (D) for dumpster.

Here's the deal: they are contracted by our county. I pay my taxes for us and illegals. Someone, not the taxpayer, decided to have trucks pick up these gigantic bins on wheels. Ok. Cool. Wheel broke. I call and tell them like a good citizen. I get some song and dance of them maybe fixing wheel or we have to shell out $$ for a new bin. I then proceed to tell lady that I am not angry at her but this is stupid as it is a wheel, and if it were ours and not theirs, could be fixed for a fraction.

Now, this is not my first rodeo. Last summer, prior to a tropical storm with, uh, powerful wind potential of blowing crap onto my castle, there were three large debris piles of deadly objects in my cul de sac (which is what John Kerry calls his package in his speedo). Where was I? Ok, so I call, like a good citizen, report it. Yada. Three weeks later still there. I call again, raise a little hell, and THEY DO NOT HAVE A RECORD OF THIS 2nd CALL. So I call the third time, go napalm in my polite and exaggerated Southern accent---which gets worse if I am drinking or angry and Dixie Carter at this point--- and then call my county rep and, bingo! The stuff is picked up within 24 hours. Granted whoever took the call at the county made a mistake and gave me the rep's chief of staff's cell phone, so he answered thinking I was a friend. Since then lawn debris is picked up pronto as I think they have my name in alarm lights.

At any rate, after my blow up over the wheel bin the other day, I got an email wanting me to fill out a "survey" of their customer service. I laughed, as that was a bite moi from them. Points! I am thinking of putting a hobo in the bin for next week's pick up. #moronthinking

If they were announcing today, then why close schools on Mon?

Two four-day weekends in a row. I'm surprised it hasn't caught on more places, like kids scribbling bomb threats in the bathrooms.

So, like a cat then.

Kind of on this topic, I remember seeing a lecture about early 1900s artists and they shows this painter's work around 1916, and then he went and fought in World War I. His work after he came out was all muddy darks, jagged edges, you could see his total emotional breakdown in his work. It was sad, and telling. Looked like two different people, and in a way, it was.

Police families go into hiding... http://drudge.tw/1yzyJnI

FFS, where is Holder's admonition to the protesters that they'd better not injure the police or their families?

And while we're at it, this has been boiling for months - why isn't Fredo getting out in front and telling everyone to keep their powder dry?
I know why - because he's in on the protest movement - but isn't it amazing that no one is saying, "Hey, why are our federal authorities not attempting to control this?"

Very much the case. These people are without morals and are essentially mobsters in charge of our entire country.
Thanks so much for that by the way you Democrat shitstains.
And I expect things to get much worse in the coming years/decades.

225 Over grubered. This image fascinates me. The swirling smoke of chemical fires, the burning, the cries of terrified, suffering people desperate to survive another day.

This is a scene out of the apocalypse. The vivid black and white contrasts. It's like a movie.

229 Hello Web Admin, I noticed that your On-Page SEO is is missing a few factors, for one you do not use all three H tags in your post, also I notice that you are not using bold or italics properly in your SEO optimization. On-Page SEO means more now than ever since the new Google update: Panda. No longer are backlinks and simply pinging or sending out a RSS feed the key to getting Google PageRank or Alexa Rankings, You now NEED On-Page SEO. So what is good On-Page SEO?First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword....wait there's even more Now what if i told you there was a simple Wordpress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you? That's right AUTOMATICALLY, just watch this 4minute video for more information at. Seo Plugin
