Boston won’t give him a choice of words

Obama wouldn't call it terrorism, but Arkansas will.

"Senate Bill 630, which passed 35-0 and goes to the House, is known as “Andy’s Law” in honor of U.S. Army Pvt. William “Andy” Long of Conway, who was shot and killed outside a west Little Rock recruiting center in 2009. Pvt. Quinton Ezeagwula of Jacksonville was wounded in the shooting rampage."

Andy was killed by Abdulhakim Muhammad an American Muslim who had traveled to Yemen and Somalia for training.  Survivors of the Ft. Hood massacre also have had no justice from Obama, who calls it "work place violence."

What’s wrong with these people?

They are liberals.  And they were partially right; the brothers are white (ethnic Chechens although they never lived there), and one was a citizen of the USA, having come here as a child. I’m guessing if the citizen ever voted, it was for Obama.

Dina seems to be a few bales short of a full load.  Hitler’s one party system was called “National Socialism,” and the Columbine shooters were into Goth and video games and Timothy McVeigh was protesting the use of military force by the U.S. government in Serbia and Iraq, and the government attacked the Branch Davidian, a religious cult for gun infractions.

“The thinking, as we have been reporting, is that this is a domestic, extremist attack and officials are leaning that way largely because of the timing of the attack. April is a big month for anti-government and right-wing individuals. There’s the Columbine anniversary, there’s Hitler’s birthday, there’s the Oklahoma City bombing, the assault on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco.”

The Massachusetts gun laws

The Brothers Tsarnaev had an awful lot of fire power. Were they properly registered and licensed with fingerprinting and criminal background checks as their state required regardless of how and where the guns were acquired? And were their magazines limited to ten rounds as required by Massachusetts law? Or were they just two more criminals who ignore gun laws?

The Casabella flex duster

I've joined the 21st century. No more old socks and t-shirts. Today I bought a Casabella microfiber washable flex duster, and am having a blast flicking and picking up dust from lamps, computers, picture frames, cool air returns and stair banisters. http://www.neatlysmart.com/catalog/item.aspx?sku=72917&gclid=CPnsuZus2bYCFaVcMgodZB0AtA

I got a little too enthusiastic, and accidentally reset the thermostat dusting it. My husband came up from his office when it started heating up, and said, "Why did you reset the thermostat to 80?"

Follow the money

The trial of Kermit Gosnell, the ghoulish late term abortionist of Philadelphia,  must have the pro-abortion folks worried. Even though the main stream media didn’t cover it, the news is getting around through social media.  As in photos of babies’ feet in jars, and of spinal cords snipped.  For the first time I can remember, I'm hearing radio ads on behalf of Planned Parenthood. The word abortion is never used; nor birth control; or even reproduction. Just access to health. Breast cancer is higher in women who abort their first pregnancy; suicide rate is higher for women who abort. Whose health? Planned Parenthood’s. Follow the money. Abortion is its money-maker. And minorities its target.

Planned Parenthood has ridden the waves of taxpayer funding to millions of dollars in annual surpluses. Last year [2012], like many before it, Planned Parenthood saw a very comfortable income, reporting excess revenues exceeding $87 million and net assets of more than $1.2 billion. The Foundry

Matthews, Moore, O’Donnell, Sirota, Bergen, Axelrod. . . and others

I can't think of any recent events that have been the result of right wing conspiracies, and certainly the Tea Party has been nothing but peaceful and patriotic, so why do the MSM go this route time after time?  Eventually, they’ll probably be right—but the “real right” like Hitler, were Socialists, aka National Socialism.  The KKK was created by the Democrat Party, as were Jim Crow laws and lynching to terrorize blacks into submission.

Arizona, Aurora, Sandy Hook,  the Austin plane attack (2010) by the guy who didn’t like the IRS,  the guys who murdered the army recruiters, and the various vandalism at recruiting stations, the woman who hated her promotion and tenure committee so she blew them away—none of these people were right wingers, or even particularly political.  They were evil or mentally deranged.    Even Timothy McVeigh 18 years ago was a loner and not part of any group plot. In his letter to the media he justifies his actions as being anti-military—bombing Serbia and Iraq at the time.  That doesn’t sound very right wing to me.  And he was executed for his crimes.  Have we executed Muslims for their crimes? Isn't the guy who shot Bobby Kennedy still in prison? The American Muslim who shot up Ft. Hood?  Has he been executed? 

This latest attack by the Chechen brothers the MSM can proudly say, was from “home grown, white terrorists,”  like some hoped, but immigrants from the former Soviet Union.  One a citizen, the other a legal resident.  But they are  most likely a part of a global philosophy that these liberals in the media and buddies of the president just can't seem to recognize.

COFFEE FILTERS

Who knew! And you can buy 1,000 at the Dollar Tree for almost nothing even the large ones.

1. Cover bowls or dishes when cooking in the microwave. Coffee filters make excellent covers.
2. Clean windows, mirrors, and chrome. Coffee filters are lint-free so they'll leave windows sparkling.
3. Protect China by separating your good dishes with a coffee filter between each dish.
4. Filter broken cork from wine. If you break the cork when opening a wine bottle, filter the wine through a coffee filter.
5. Protect a cast-iron skillet. Place a coffee filter in the skillet to absorb moisture and prevent rust.
6. Apply shoe polish. Ball up a lint-free coffee filter.
7. Recycle frying oil. After frying, strain oil through a sieve lined with a coffee filter.
8. Weigh chopped foods. Place chopped ingredients in a coffee filter on a kitchen scale.
9. Hold tacos. Coffee filters make convenient wrappers for messy foods.
10. Stop the soil from leaking out of a plant pot. Line a plant pot with a coffee filter to prevent the soil from going through the drainage holes.
11. Prevent a Popsicle from dripping. Poke one or two holes as needed in a coffee filter.
12. Do you think we used expensive strips to wax eyebrows? Use strips of coffee filters..
13. Put a few in a plate and put your fried bacon, French fries, chicken fingers, etc. on them. It soaks out all the grease.
14. Keep in the bathroom. They make great "razor nick fixers."
15. As a sewing backing. Use a filter as an easy-to-tear backing for embroidering or appliqueing soft fabrics.
16. Put baking soda into a coffee filter and insert into shoes or a closet to absorb or prevent odors.
17. Use them to strain soup stock and to tie fresh herbs in to put in soups and stews.
18. Use a coffee filter to prevent spilling when you add fluids to your car.
19. Use them as a spoon rest while cooking and clean up small counter spills.
20. Can use to hold dry ingredients when baking or when cutting a piece of fruit or veggies.  Saves on having extra bowls to wash.
21. Use them to wrap Christmas ornaments for storage.
22. Use them to remove fingernail polish when out of cotton balls.
23. Use them to sprout seeds.  Simply dampen the coffee filter, place seeds inside, fold it and place it into a plastic baggie until they sprout.
24. Use coffee filters as blotting paper for pressed flowers. Place the flowers between two coffee filters and put the coffee filters in phone book.
25. Use as a disposable "snack bowl" for popcorn, chips, etc.

They were sort of, maybe, a little right. . .

Both Tsarnaev brothers are white, and one became a citizen last September 11.

1962—when students could pray in school

Notice:  integrated classes; nicely dressed students; neat hair styles. Teacher isn’t wearing jeans.  Fifty years is a long time.

Short attention span? Shorter books.

The hottest book publishing trend today--less is the new more, says Michael Levin, founder and CEO of BusinessGhost, Inc., who has written more than 100 books.

“The first time I saw a 73-page ‘book’ offered on Amazon, I was outraged,” says New York Times best selling author Michael Levin. “But I thought about how shredded the American attention span is. And I felt like Cortez staring at the Pacific.”

The trend in books today, Harry Potter notwithstanding, is toward books so short that in the past no self-respecting publisher—or author—would even have called them books. But today, shortened attention spans call for shorter books.

Levin blames smartphones and social media for what he calls “a worldwide adult epidemic of ADH, ooh, shiny!”

“Brain scientists tell us our brain chemistry has been transformed by short-burst communication such as texting, Tweeting, and Facebook posts,” Levin adds. “Long magazine articles have given way to 600-word blog posts. And doorstop-size books have been replaced by mini-books.”

This sudden change in attention spans changed the way Levin approaches ghostwriting. “Even five years ago, we aimed for 250-page books. Today we advise our business clients to do 50-page mini-books to meet impatient readers’ expectations for speedy delivery of information.”

Levin, who runs the ghostwriting firm BusinessGhost.com and was featured on ABC’s Shark Tank, says that people are looking for leadership disguised as a book. “Today,” he asserts, “people don’t want you to prove your assertions. They just want to know that you have legitimate answers to their questions and that they can trust you. If you can’t get buy-in with 50 pages today, you won’t get it in 250.”

The trend toward shorter books caused Levin to offer what he calls the “Book-Of-The-Quarter Club,” which creates four 50-page hardcover mini-books a year for BusinessGhost’s clients. “This allows them to address four different major issues, or four different sets of prospects, and provides quarterly opportunities for marketing events,” Levin says.

How short will books eventually run?

“Can you say ‘haiku’?” Levin asks. “We’re waiting for a three-line, 17 syllable book. It could happen.”

This article was supplied by Ginny Grimsley and the content is hers. Levin’s new mini-book, “The Financial Advisor's Dilemma,” teaches how to create trust and distinctiveness in the highly competitive marketplace.

Guest blogger Murray on the “liberal” media

The other day I read the news article from the Huffington Post on the Internet about Obama claiming the gun lobbyists lied to the members of Congress and that's why the gun legislation didn't pass. I commented at the site:

HuffPo: “Obama placed blame on the gun lobby during his remarks."The gun lobby and its allies willfully lied about the bill," Obama said.”

Murray: “If anyone knows about lying it's Obama. He's done that throughout his entire political career.  How about the B.S. when he claimed he was at the hospital while his mother died because she had no medical insurance."

The next day I received this notice from Huffington:

A message from Allen West

"Let me be very clear, the terrorist attack in Boston and evolving events indicate we have a domestic radical Islamic terror problem in America. We must no longer allow the disciples of political correctness and the acolytes of the Muslim Brotherhood (CAIR, ISNA, MPAC, MAS) to preach to us some misconceived definition of tolerance and subservience. When tolerance becomes a one way street it leads to cultural suicide. Carlos Bledsoe in Little Rock, MAJ Hasan in Ft Hood, the Ft Dix Six, Faisal Shahazad in NYC Times Square -- these are just the examples I can type now. When Rep Peter King attempted to have hearings on domestic terrorism he was attacked for being racist. No more excuses. No more apologies. We are in a war of ideological wills, and we shall prevail. Congratulations to all the law enforcement agencies."

September 11 vs. April 15

Liberal media denied that Sept. 11, 2012 could have any significance for the Benghazi attacks, but for some reason thought April 15 must hold great importance for right wing Americans, obviously suspect in the Boston bombing.  Hey guys--most of us have the tax money confiscated all year long so it is ready for redistribution.

At least now you know who he is

At the White House, by Paula Priesse

Michelle: “How did your day go dear?”

Obama: “Not good, even with a Dem Senate gun legislation went down in flames. So I threw a hissy fit.”

Michelle: “That’s too bad.”

O: “I’m just getting started. A union now wants Obamacare repealed. And co-author Sen. Max Baucus said it could be a ‘huge train wreck.’ Traitor!”

Michelle: “Well you can hardly blame him. He’s up for re-election in 2014.”

O: “I’m not done. I had to dodge my first question on Gosnell.”

Michelle: “Uh oh.”

O: “It gets even worse! CBS News reports there are now multiple whistleblowers stepping forward on Benghazi.”

Michelle: “Sorry, but you knew the truth about Obamacare & Benghazi would come out eventually.”

O: “Oh pretty please, let the Boston bombers be Tea Partiers! Dividing the nation is the only way I know how to lead. Hold me Moochie, I’m scared.”

Michelle: “Forget it, I’m taking the girls on vacation. Don’t want them to see that their father is a big LOSER!” P

Should we be looking to Europe for guidance in health care?

In Europe they are combining euthanasia and organ harvesting how-to symposia to specifically target the disabled. Their organs are less likely to be damaged by diseases or accidents. Remember those death panels that weren't in Obamacare? They were in the Stimulus. Hitler went after the disabled before he targeted the Jews. It's important to desensitize the populace. Even liberals can get squeamish.

 http://www.west-info.eu/belgium-euthanasia-transplantation-organs/

In Holland and Belgium they are probably wondering what the fuss is about in the Kermit Gosnell trial. The Lancet reports that about 8% of their infants who die--80-90 a year--are euthanized. And that was 1997--probably higher today. Sure, Gosnell was messy and spreading diseases to his patients, but the babies? Collateral damage of the pro-abortion, pro-euthanasia, anti-life movement. Perhaps the Nazis won after all?

Margaret Thatcher

The world recognized her greatness.  Obama recognized her power as a  symbol, even in death, and chose to dishonor her.

It’s been a tough week

            

So thankful for all the first responders and volunteers who selflessly stepped up to save lives in Boston and West, Texas.

At the nursing home in Texas, one man pulled out 16 people from the collapsed building.
