Obama's Gaffe Meter Is Pegged!
This young fellow is prone to mistakes which he seems to not even know are potential problems!
From Ed Morrissey at Hot Air"
"How many times did Quayle misspell potato before the American media and popular culture proclaimed him an idiot? We can add this to Obama’s existing list of gaffes and blunders: * The Selma March in 1965 did not contribute to his birth in 1961. * Kansas tornadoes in May 2007 killed 12 people, not “ten thousand”. * Afghans do not speak Arabic. * Misunderstanding Memorial Day, and then claiming to see “fallen heroes” in the Memorial Day audience. * Same day: putting Auschwitz in western Germany, not Poland. * “57 states”.
Again … how many times did Quayle misspell potato? (via The Corner)"The entire story by "Capt. Ed"
IS RIGHT HERE!!!Indeed One Potato, Two Potato.....etc.

SCARY Stuff!
The Duchess and I went to an Elks State Convention this past weekend....in Orlando. I was required to attend as I am now Lodge Secretary. We did the meeting/hospitality thing, and enjoyed as much as you can in such an environment.
Then things went horribly wrong!
Saturday evening, about 5:30 pm, Duchess joined one of our friends in seeking sustenance in another hospitality suite. The friend returned, ashen-faced and said my Duchess had a problem. I moved quickly outside to find my love unable to swallow/keep anything down, etc.
After a 911 call, and a quick trip to the Disney hospital (we were at a Disney-Orlando resort) Duchess and I had to wait for hours. She had a piece of steak lodged in her valve between esophagus and stomach. A long wait produced a G. I. doc who proceeded to use a scope to remove the offending meat and do a bit of repair.
We left and got back to our resort at 4:45 am.....
Duchess was in pain in her throat and having experienced the entire thing while awake. What a horrendous thing!
She is now recovered.
I aged 10 years in the face of the happenings.
It is quite nice that Disney had such a service available at their site. (Celebration Hospital)
I can now breathe normally!

Would Some Democrats Answer This, Please!!!!
From The American Thinker & the "I Can Say It & No One Will Notice" department:
"How much have the Democrats cost you at the pump?Marc SheppardSenator Chuck Schumer claims that coercing Saudi Arabia to increase oil production by 1 million barrels a day would drop the per barrel price by $25, saving Americans 62 cent per gallon at the gas pump. Yet, somehow, that same amount of oil coming from Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge would only ease oil prices by a penny.In a Senate floor speech he gave on May 13th, the New York Democrat insisted that: "If Saudi Arabia were to increase its production by 1 million barrels per day that translates to a reduction of 20 percent to 25 percent in the world price of crude oil, and crude oil prices could fall by more than $25 dollar per barrel from its current level of $126 per barrel. In turn, that would lower the price of gasoline between 13 percent and 17 percent, or by more than 62 cents off the expected summer regular-grade price - offering much needed relief to struggling families. "Schumer repeated these words almost verbatim when grilling oil company executives during yesterday's Senate Judiciary Committee hearings.Yet Schumer's daily magic number of 1 million barrels is the exact increase experts believe we would today be pumping through the Alyeska pipeline had Bill Clinton not vetoed ANWR drilling back in 1995. And even the most rabid anti-domestic-drilling Democrats don't take issue with that figure. So then, the increase he demands of "Bush's friends," the Saudis - which he claims would reduce prices by up to 25 percent -- is the exact amount he argued earlier this month would only "reduce the price of oil by a penny" were it coming from ANWR - eco-sacred breeding ground of the Porcupine Caribou.It doesn't take a Ph.D in economics to know that both figures can't be right.Nor one in Poli-Sci to know why they're so starkly different nonetheless."Guess the old cliche about "hurting wildlife" will be dragged out, even though past history of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, and others disprove the argument.
Democrats.....always negative....except on plans to tax your ass off! They are VERY positive about that. They honestly propose that hiking YOUR taxes will help the oil situation. Oh, you say they are going to tax the oil companies...not you????? You must be government-educated. Where-o-where do you suppose the oil companies will get the money to pay those taxes? From some secret hidey-hole? & IF they do take the new taxes from profits then oil research comes to a halt and new fields/processes suffer.
YOU LOSE!HINT! - New taxes are not the solution.....NEW sources/sources known, but denied, are the answers....along with a healthy program of research to find alternatives! It is NOT voodoo magic folks! It IS supply and demand. You cannot legislate supply and demand....history has proven it.Duke
The GOP Battlecry! - OINK, OINK, OINK!!!!!
Forever mindful of their belief that their own constituents WANT Pork, for themselves, the GOP has joined the ranks of DEM congressional folk to support the new Farm Bill.

OINK forever is the battle cry!
The GOP will lose B-I-G this fall, and they will wonder why. Try this my GOP Congressfolk......WE, the VOTERS...DO NOT WANT MORE TAXES!

Winning The War? - MSM Missing In Action!
You'd be surprised what is NOT being reported in the Antique Media!
Ralph Peters asks:
"DO we still have troops in Iraq? Is there still a conflict over there?If you rely on the so-called mainstream media, you may have difficulty answering those questions these days. As Iraqi and Coalition forces pile up one success after another, Iraq has magically vanished from the headlines.Want a real 'inconvenient truth?' Progress in Iraq is powerful and accelerating."What ever happened to the stories of losing, and the absolute storyline of civil war?
Peters' complete story is in
The New York Post.What blatant dishonesty by the media. I am once-again reminded of an old friend's favorite statement...."The truth shall set you free; as long as it is YOUR truth!"

He is bereft of any judgement.
Obama is without support from any political/military person!
BUT, He has supporters......The Main Stream Media. They simply L-O-V-E this guy. He can do no wrong. That, perhaps, explains the fact that when he states we have 57 states....they take a pass! He is "Allowed" to be stupid!

GOP Needs.....
One of my favorite writers is Victor Davis Hanson. He writes to the GOP over at Pajamas Media:
"A Simple Conservative MessageThere is a lot of anguish among Republicans as they look at the dismal polls and the even more depressing performance of their candidates in various preliminary House races. New books and prophets forecast an end to conservatism, and a need to formulate a new sort of muscular liberalism to meet new challenges. Expect more such nostrums if Barack Obama wins in the fall.What mystifies is the paralysis of Republicans and their impotent protestations that “Bush did it”. The truth is that Congressional Republicans, responsible for turning principles into governance, deserve to lose—unless they craft clear positions that won’t be compromised and then offer them as alternative choices to the voters this fall."His message is clear. Why-O-Why do the GOP members of Congress not see what message wins? Do they pander only to themselves, and feel secure in their own district and thus not join in the frey?
Read the complete
article by Victor Davis Hanson here!The detail in his analysis is quite awakening.
Perhaps the time is here to form a "New GOP?"

Mexican Drug Cartels to Police: "Join Us Or Die!"
The situation in Mexico is deteriorating, not improving. Law and order are breaking down.
The drug cartels, utilizing our "open border" to import drugs into the USA, are in control of most areas along the border.
FOXNews has the story.This begs the question....If we closed the border and the drug shippers could not get through do you suppose the cartels would move elsewhere and leave Mexico, particularly along the border, a good bit safer?
Just a thought.

A Praise For Bush!
I have written frequently about my problems with President Bush and his actions/beliefs. Now it is time to salute some of his work.
Speaking before athe World Economic Forum in Egypt he spoke these very, very important words which should be answered by Islamic folk:
"In our democracy, we would never punish a person for owning a Koran. We would never issue a death sentence to someone for converting to Islam. Democracy does not threaten Islam or any religion. Democracy is the only system of government that guarantees their protection."His entire speech was explored at
LITTLE GREEN FOOTBALLS.Perhaps we would be well-served to seek an answer from our local Imams about their view of the quoted paragraph. In fact, if the main stream media were unbiased, this would be a natural for them. Wanna bet on it happening?

Multiculturalism Causes Failure In War On Terrorism
That is a big though around which to wrap one's mind.
Writing at American Thinker blog, Joseph Myers does a good job of centering upon the problem:
"Submission to Multiculturalism Dr. Bernard Lewis, speaking recently at a luncheon and conference in Washington DC, noted that the two greatest shortcomings to understanding the Middle East are the "orthodoxy" of "political correctness and multiculturalism" and the reality that in the face of those driving ideologies, too many sworn to defend have proven themselves wilting lilies. This new "no jihad policy" is the greatest of example.
Let's dissect the government message to show not only its folly, but factual errors that point to a lack of strategic comprehension and due diligence amounting to the level of an ethical failing.
An MSNBC article discussing this policy said this on the meaning of Jihad: "For example, while Americans may understand "jihad" to mean "holy war," it is in fact a broader Islamic concept of the struggle to do good, says the guidance prepared for diplomats and other officials tasked with explaining the war on terror to the public."
That is wrong; it is in error. It is incompetently derived information.
Recall Patton famous exclamation: "Rommel I read your damn book".
This is the book our counter-terrorism communicators need to read. This is what sacred Islamic Law says on jihad: "o9.0 - Jihad. Jihad means to wage war against non-Muslims, and is etymologically derived from the word mujahada, signifying warfare to establish the religion. [italic emphasis in original]"... The scriptural basis for jihad, prior to scholarly consensus (def: b7) is such Koranic verses as: (1) "Fighting is prescribed for you" (Koran 2:216); (2) "Slay them wherever you find them" (Koran 4:89); (3) "Fight the idolators utterly" (Koran 9:36); ... I have been commanded to fight people until they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, and perform the prayer, and pay zakat. If they say it, they have saved their blood and possessions from me, except for rights of Islam over them. (Umdat al-Salik p.599)"
Irrespective of the polemics, this is the only definition of jihad in Islamic law, this is the only controlling and binding definition of jihad for any Muslim.
So are we now to deduce from the media reporting that the US government, expects for example, those in military service to accept that waging "war against non-Muslims ...to establish the religion" is a "struggle to do good." Does our government consider jihad a "good" thing. Am I to accept that jihad is good for America?
Is this how far we have come with multiculturalism?"
The topic is a bit convoluted, but boils down to a simple fact that you cannot placate those whose goal is your complete elimination as a nation and way-of-life. There is no middle ground on which to complete your placation of the single-minded jihadist!

Depending on how many weapons are eventually deployed, this may develop into the largest militarization of police patrol officers in United States history. If the department arms 10,000 of their officers with M4s, the police will have 9,900 more assault rifles in Chicago than the U.S. Marines presently have in Fallujah, Iraq."GOOLLEE!!!!!

WSJ - "Windfall Profits For Dummies"
This is one that irks me no end. People standing around the water cooler/bar/whatever, and expounding upon the "evil oil companies"....
The Wall Street Journal, in a
Review & Outlook article today, sums the situation well:
"This tiff over gas and oil taxes only highlights the intellectual policy confusion – or perhaps we should say cynicism – of our politicians. They want lower prices but don't want more production to increase supply. They want oil "independence" but they've declared off limits most of the big sources of domestic oil that could replace foreign imports. They want Americans to use less oil to reduce greenhouse gases but they protest higher oil prices that reduce demand. They want more oil company investment but they want to confiscate the profits from that investment. And these folks want to be President?"Can I get an A-MEN?
Get a clue folks. If you doubt the above, then you need desperately to read the entire article
IN THE JOURNAL!
Obama and Clinton are really scary. Given half a chance they will deliver on their rhetoric which appeals mostly to those educated in our "Government Schools", as Neal
Boortz labels them. The fact is many folks always believe higher prices are the work of evil companies. The solution; soak those bastards! Yes, and then we'll have higher prices, and even less fuel to go around.
Idiocy in the name of getting votes. That in summary is all it amounts to. Independence from overseas control....but not by drilling in
ANWR (where we already set the land aside for oil exploration), and not by drilling off our coasts....anywhere....oh, and don't even think about new refineries, or windmills located where "I" sail my yacht! Just wave a wand and become independent of the oil countries. WAIT, maybe we can subsidize corn production for ethanol...yeah,
that's the ticket....the added benefit will be our population, long obese, will lose weight because of the
disappearing food supply!
WOW! are we smart, or what?Duke

From The POGO Dept. of "We Has Met The Enemy & They Is Us!"
Robert Samuelson writes at WashingtonPost.com:
"It may surprise Americans to discover that the United States is the third-largest oil producer, behind Saudi Arabia and Russia. We could be producing more, but Congress has put large areas of potential supply off-limits. These include the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and parts of Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico. By government estimates, these areas may contain 25 billion to 30 billion barrels of oil (against about 30 billion barrels of proven U.S. reserves today) and 80 trillion cubic feet or more of natural gas (compared with about 200 tcf of proven reserves).What keeps these areas closed are exaggerated environmental fears, strong prejudice against oil companies and sheer stupidity. Americans favor both "energy independence" and cheap fuel. They deplore imports -- who wants to pay foreigners? -- but oppose more production in the United States. Got it? The result is a "no-pain energy agenda that sounds appealing but has no basis in reality," writes Robert Bryce in "Gusher of Lies: The Dangerous Delusions of 'Energy Independence.' "How true. What idiocy is it to allow other countries to influence our economy by providing us items we already possess?
