Ask yourself this question:If a teacher in the US were to have her students name a teddy bear Jesus, Moses, Buda, God, or anyone of the other gods/prophets would anyone here be calling for her to be killed?AP: Calls in Sudan for execution of Brit...
This morning when I turned on the TV they were talking about the big tree in Rockefeller Center and as I gazed upon the huge Christmas tree I wondered…what do the Nobel Prize winners (Algore and the IPCC) think about NBC cutting down a huge tree that was scrubbing evil CO2 from the atmosphere? Then I read this post by Caledonia Unplugged: NBC's "green" agenda continues to be a joke!You just have to love it when we all think alike!!...
Many of us didn’t watch the debates last night but we have all heard the news: 'Gay question' general linked to ClintonI find it amazing that CNN couldn’t do a simple job to ensure that this guy was not from a Democrat campaign. I think the question he asked has some merit and should be discussed at a debate but to have the question sullied by having a democrat operative ask it is just outrageou...
I must have picked one heck of a hard country this time…the country was Taiwan, you know the country…"little one" off the coast of China.If you thought last week’s country was hard then you haven’t seen anything yet…10 out of 10.Good luck!!...
Today is a sad day for Republicans…Former Ill. Rep. Henry Hyde has passed at the age of 83. The man was kind and a political animal. We will all miss him.AP Story...
Is it any wonder how we became one of the highest taxed states in the Union? When we can’t figure out how to put together a simple Voter Registration System…mind you one that has now cost us over $24 million!!!Here are the highlights of the Legislative Audit Bureau’s findings…but I would encourage you to read the full report. There is a lot more here than meets the eye!!The media and some politicians wonder why we don’t trust government…this is one of the reason...
Every year we hear it and every year it drives me nuts!!“This year retailers are predicting a bad Holiday shopping season!” Every news station runs this story and every one does some sort of crappy analysis that shows just how bad things are going to be. But the kicker is they are wrong most every time and never correct the storyI am sick and tired of the lies that the media would like us to all buy into and try to turn this into some sort of political...
*****UPDATE****** No one got this yet so: I'm willing to bet that your have suff made here.Well still unreal still has it…the country was NorwayThis week’s has a unique shape but I’m not sure it is that obvious a country so I rate it an 8 out of 1...
I realized that I have not posted a thing since just before Thanksgiving!!! WOW!!!Sorry about that…I didn’t post a country for the week but then again no one got last week’s so I’ll bump that up to the top again.I hope everyone had a great Turkey Day! I know I did…I got to see my wife complete a 10k and get a new Personal Record!!! There are a lot of things going on so I’ll try to post more later...
I have liberal friends that look at me regularly and ask ‘how can you not believe global warming is real?’ I always smile and say ‘global warming is real…in the last 30 years the average ‘global temperature’* has risen by about 0.5 degrees Fahrenheit but you can not prove to me that man is to blame.’ Their retort is always out of some sort of script...’well ‘scientific consensus’ says that it is caused by man!’ They say this like science and consensus are like the holy grail in all of science...
I know this might be a strange concept to those of us here in Wisconsin but 48 other states have some form of conceal carry laws that allow law abiding citizens the right to carry their firearm, concealed, in public.There is a growing number of college students and faculty that are now asking that this right be extended onto the campus. http://concealedcampus.org/index.htmImagine if you would the implications of students and faculty that could defend...
Tom McMahon is known for his irreverent humor and in the case of the ‘bumper sticker seen in Madison’ he was, of course, trying to provoke a bit of thought…personally I thought it was quite good.His posting has made its way around the blogs and when it hit Charlie Sykes’s blog all hell broke loose.The Interfaith Conference of Greater Milwaukee took offence to the bumper sticker and Charlie’s posting of it on his blog. They wrote a letter asking for its removal from the WTMJ website, even while...
It is the show down that most have been waiting for: the novice versus the old horse (not meant to be offensive but if the shoe fits…) Clinton vs. Obama.It looks like it is in full throttle…see the AP story here: Clinton mocks Obama on foreign policyFrom the story:"Voters will have to judge if living in a foreign country at the age of 10 prepares one to face the big, complex international challenges the next president will face," Clinton saidSo what does Hillary think she has done to prepare her...
My wife point out this story to me last night and I thought that it had to be a fake but in doing a little research I found out it is true!!!AFP: Santas warned 'ho ho ho' offensive to womenWhat kind of world do we live in where there are people that would actually try to claim Santa’s catch phrase is offensive?!? If there is a woman out there that takes offense to someone saying ‘Ho, Ho, Ho’ then they must not have a very good self image!!!The thing that shocked me the most is where this is taking...
I have criticized the building of KRM since METRA finished their study and said that the population density was not enough to sustain the line.I have openly argued that the numbers that are shared by the Transit Now group are “pie in the sky” numbers with no basis in reality.I have made it crystal clear that the economic development in areas such as Durand and 31, Mayfair, and Bayshore were done with out a single train ever coming into these areas.But I have never heard the argument against KRM...
Do you remember this woman?Well it looks like the great people of Georgia would like to forget her too!!! Fox News Story.Rep. Mike Jacobs is supporting a resolution in the Georgia State House to have the 20 mile stretch of I-285 that currently bears the name the Cynthia McKinney Parkway stripped of that name and replaced with the old name, Memorial Drive.Cynthia, after loosing her Congressional seat (again) in a Democrat primary in 2006, moved across...
For those of you that think that the wealthiest 1% doesn’t pay their “fair share” then you are not looking at the IRS data!!!Read the most recent Tax Foundation Newsletter and they show just how far off the Left is on taxes.Take for instance the following facts about taxes: The top 1% of wage earners pay 39% of all Federal Income Taxes while the bottom 90% pay only 29.7%. If your household income topped $145,300 in 2005 you were in the top 5% of all wage earners in the US. When Clinton won the...
Well ladies and gentlemen, I’m back from ‘down under’ and I have to say, once again, we (America and Americans) are loved.I found it amazing that even though elections are compulsory in Australia the people there knew more about American politics than their own...
Well folks it is Thursday here in Australia and I’m going to be boarding a plane in a few hours and will not be able to post this week country so I decided to do it now.Last week was almost too easy…it was, of course, Iraq. Great job everyone!!This week I think is really easy to just because of the shape. Good Luck!2 out of 1...
Arizona Republican John Shadegg convinced fellow members of the Republican Party to support Democrat Dennis Kucinch’s resolution to impeach VP Cheney.This move would force Democrats to debate the impeachment resolution thereby forcing Democrats to take a side. This will make most Democrats either look nuts (like Kucinch) or like hypocrites for supporting Cheney…either way Democrats look bad!!!See article here: The Hill - Republicans keep Cheney impeachment bill ali...
In an article posted on the This is London Entertainment Guide was this little piece asking Santa, the Jolly ole’ man himself, to loose weight! (H/T Drudgereport)Santa told to slim down for Christmas to 'set a good example'I’m not sure if this is good or bad but I did enjoy this picture!?! ...
This one made me laugh!! Just think...the election is a year away and people are already getting sick of it!...
Well I know it is only 12:30 AM on Thursday back home but here (Australia) it has been Thursday for 16 ½ hours already so I’m ready to post this week’s country.Wow! Last week’s was obviously very hard…I had expected still unreal to be all over this one but I guess I was wrong!! The country last week was Azerbaijan located on the shores of the Caspian Sea.This week the only way you will not be able to name the country is if you have been living under...
