Sly congressmen posture to charm the most cameras,
Jousting and jockeying for electoral advantage.
Antiseptic tank thinkers who prattle on C-SPAN,
Play up to the crowds of American Grandstand.snipThe critics, the cynics, the skeptics, dyspeptics,
So quick to condemn us as all misanthropic.
How doth they judge fighters when few have they met?
Longing for new My Lai’s,
Thirsting for new Tet’s.

See that young man? Jack Murtha says he’s a “cold blooded killer.” This week, after a  two year investigation, the United States Marine Corps will say he’s not. 

We have decided the next Faux Deaux Deaux will be on the 29th of March. The location is not yet set, but it will probably be at the Vino homestead. More details will follow.

Katy Area Republicans has announced that Texas Ranger Sgt. Jeff Cook will be the keynote speaker for their Tuesday, January 29, 2008 meeting.The meeting will be at 7:00 PM at Cinco Ranch Library.After 32 years in law enforcement, Texas Ranger Sgt. Jeff Cook has retired. Fort Bend County’s only assigned Texas Ranger, Jeff Cook has investigated a wide variety of high-profile cases, from homicide to business fraud. In addition he spent nine months providing security for the former Governor George W. Bush during the 2000 presidential campaign.  Also, meet local and congressional candidates for office.  Call Justin Perryman for info-281-589-2900 

In the last couple of decades, news organizations have taken to disguising facts for reasons that I don’t really comprehend. Were I publishing a newspaper, my goal would be greater accuracy and clarity. What follows is a guide to help you decipher what you read in the news pages, or see on TV news:

Youth - in France, this means “Islamic men who are rioting, possibly burning cars, and maybe firing weapons.”

South Asian - in the United Kingdom, this refers to Muslims. It can sometimes be used for anyone from India or Pakistan, but typically it means “Muslim.”

MI5 is very worried about the links between Pakistan and the three bomb plots in Britain since July 2005, and that means it is crucial for them to recruit more south Asian agents.

Insurgent - from Reuters, this means “Muslims who are killing others in the name of Allah or Mohammad.” I would just say, “Terrorist,” which I define as anyone who intentionally targets innocents for political gains.

Murderer or terrorist - in all news articles, this means anyone who kills a reporter. This is the only method known to turn an insurgent into a terrorist in the modern media.

Extremist - Anyone who thinks that the Daily KOS is not fair and balanced; has not placed FoxNEWS on their blocked-stations list; votes republican; thinks independently, or has a job. No known democrats fit this description.

Right Wing Extremist - Redundant phrase.

Progressive or moderate - the opposite of an extremist. It includes everyone who works at CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, and most other news outlets that are not specifically financially-centered or FoxNEWS; anyone who works for a democrat campaign; anyone who supports abortion rights, denies gun ownership rights, or thinks traditional marriage is evil.

Houston Police officers and Harris County Sheriff Deputies were seen at Reliant Park today.  Reports at the site have over 10 patrol vehicles and one panel truck, that was being loaded with around 100 boxes, whose contents were not know at this time.    We have recieved reports that are unconfirmed at this time but, apparently they were there to enact search warrants that a local judge signed last night.  Through an open records request we are attempting to get a copy of the warrant and are in the process of trying to contact the parties involved….  We will be posting more about this as the information becomes available to us.

UPDATE…..

And no fair peeking.

Since retaking Congress in November 2006, the top foreign-policy priority of the Democratic Party has not been to expand the size of our military for the War on Terror or to strengthen our democracy-promotion efforts in the Middle East or to prevail in Afghanistan. It has been to pull our troops out of Iraq, to abandon the democratically elected government there and to hand a defeat to President Bush.

Iraq has become the singular litmus test for Democratic candidates. No Democratic presidential primary candidate today speaks of America’s moral or strategic responsibility to stand with the Iraqi people against the totalitarian forces of radical Islam or of the consequences of handing a victory in Iraq to al Qaeda and Iran . . .

Even as evidence has mounted that Gen. David Petraeus’ new counterinsurgency strategy is succeeding, Democrats have remained emotionally invested in a narrative of defeat and retreat in Iraq, reluctant to acknowledge the progress we are now achieving . . .

For many Democrats, the guiding conviction in foreign policy isn’t pacifism or isolationism - it is distrust and disdain of Republicans in general and President Bush in particular . . .

snip

There is something profoundly wrong - something that should trouble all of us - when we have elected Democratic officials who seem more worried about how the Bush administration might respond to Iran’s murder of our troops than about the fact that Iran is murdering our troops.

There is likewise something profoundly wrong when we see candidates who are willing to pander to this politically paranoid, hyperpartisan sentiment in the Democratic base - even if it sends a message of weakness and division to the Iranian regime.

For me, this episode reinforces how far the Democratic Party has strayed . . .

Here’s a hint:

That is why I call myself an Independent Democrat today. It is because my foreign-policy convictions are the convictions that have traditionally animated the Democratic Party - but they exist in me today independent of the Democratic Party, which has largely repudiated them.

“World War II was hugely romanticized in terms of its fiction. There were unambiguous villains, and the feeling we were fighting the right people over the right issues, as opposed to this war, which many people feel is misguided.”

versus

“Some people know that a philosophy that justifies blowing up malls and airliners, or bombing markets, or shooting doctors and patients in hospitals, all in the name of their future utopia (whether it be the Third Reich, Communism, or the Caliphate) need to be opposed.”

That first one was made by Steven Bochco here.  You remember Bochco, you likely helped make him a rich man. Not that I begrudge that wealth.  It was earned, and richly deserved, with his talent as producer and director of Hill Street Blues, NYPD Blue,and the somewhat less well received Cop Rock TV shows.  He made the comment in a lame attempt to explain why the People are staying away from Hollywood’s latest Anti-War films in droves.

No, I make the comment  because not only is there a great deal of contrast between those two comments,  but between the persons who made them as well. 

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” Isaiah 6:8 (NIV)

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” Isaiah 6:8 (NIV)

It used to be that using the term “Defeatocrats” in place of “Democrats” was merely a semi-humorous, and somewhat unimaginative,  bit of hyperbole (and I’ll confess to using it myself).  Now, a quote in this story, leaves me wondering.  

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,306161,00.html 

The above article talks about the rise of piracy off the coast of Africa.

 There are those that would say that Pirates ‘r a product of thier enviroment.  That they ‘r forced into the disease of Piracy and that we should help them instead of condemn them. 

Well it sounds like that is what we are doing over there with the loan of some US Naval vessels.  We have found the cure for Piracy, sink thier boats, and we are making sure the Pirates get their dose.

The article http://foe.org/ (Friends of Earth.Org) titled “Bush, California and Global Warming” blames the Califorina Widfires on everything from Globsl Warming to how the Government handled Katrina.  Nevermind that it was started by probably one of the authors of this site, one of their backers or at least somebody with the mental capacity and faculties in this line.

It is a very short read but I cannot guarantee that it is short enough to be over before you succomb to that over whelming urge to puke wins out.

Then there is this article : http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=ZjZiMDU3MmI1NDE4YTIyOTc1ZmYxODVmYTc3YmNkNDE=&w=MA==  which says that words and actions before thought as is the practice of those with the mental capacity and faculties of the type that write the dribble in the first article is actually what made the wildfires the disaster that they were.  Wildfires are a natural cycle in that type of enviroment that would keep the scrub to a minimum and prevent the type of out-of -control occurance that we just had.

Action before (or instead of) thought is the type of mentality that would lead to encasing the entire planet in a 40 foot thick layer of Acrylic to protect the enviroment.

 Isnt this interesting?…..Nanomemory in the article from wired.com :

http://www.wired.com/gadgets/miscellaneous/news/2007/10/ion_memory 

The article states, : —–”The new memory technology — programmable metallization cell (PMC) — comes as current storage technologies are starting to reach their physical limits. ”

AND

—  “Thanks to a new technique for manipulating charged copper particles at the molecular scale, researchers at Arizona State University say their memory is, bit-for-bit, one-tenth the cost of — and 1,000 times as energy-efficient as — flash memory, the predominant memory technology in iPhones and other mobile devices. “

We are getting closer to the Atlantian and Kryptonian Sci-Fi crystaline structure memory which I guess is the next step.  Actually, a definition of crystal is molecularly structured material and this is molecularly structured and re-structured copper atoms.  Ok that’s a stretch, but it’s still COOL stuff.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071003/ap_on_re_us/secessionist_movement_1

Sounds like a worthwhile discussion as people gather in Tennessee to discuss Secession.

     From the article:           “Tired of foreign wars and what they consider right-wing courts, the Middlebury Institute wants liberal states like Vermont to be able to secede peacefully.”

Even if the outcome of the meeting is that it is constitutional and viable, just think of the impact on National Politian attitude.  They will have to consider the impact of their decisions to double taxes and increase regulatory mandates.

     From the article:         “If allowed to go their own way, New Englanders “probably would allow abortion and have gun control,” Hill said, while Southerners “would probably crack down on illegal immigration harder than it is being now.”

The U.S. Constitution does not explicitly prohibit secession, but few people think it is politically viable.”

This is interesting.  Of course Texas can secede if it wants to since they were a Republic before they joined the Union.  On that note, if Hitlery wins we may want to consider the possibilty.

Tee Shirts - They say it all! My favorite is the one that says:

“Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms should be a Convienience store, not a Government Department.”

I’ve decided I’m going to join the leftists, and do everything they want me to do…

I won’t eat meat, because human lives are no more important than animal lives.
I won’t wear leather, because animals shouldn’t be killed for their skin.
I won’t use fossil fuels, because oil spills are so devestating to the environment.
I won’t allow nuclear reactors, because they cause mutations.
I won’t use plastics, because they’re made from fossil fuels.
I won’t use wood, because we shouldn’t log.
I won’t burn wood, because it pollutes.
I won’t burn coal, because it causes global warming.
I won’t use toilets, because fresh water is so precious, and it’s running out.
I won’t eat fish, because fishing kills dolphins.
I won’t smoke tobacco products, because second-hand smoke kills.
I won’t pray, because it might offend someone of a different faith.
I won’t eat non-organic food, because pesticide runoff kills fish.
I won’t use cosmetics, deodorants, or medical products because animal testing is evil.
I won’t fish, because the lead weights can leech into the water.
I won’t support the military, because we shouldn’t have wars.
I won’t support families, because what consenting adults do is none of my business.

I have probably left out more things I shouldn’t do, so I may have to edit this post.

Sciencetists have discovered a lot of Hot Gas in the middle of the Galaxy that they cannot explain the origins of or how it perpetuates.

http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/chandra_heat_040622.html

         “  “There is no known class of objects that could account for such a large number of high-energy X-ray sources at the galactic center,” said study member Fred Baganoff of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge.  ”

My theory is that this is the cause of global warming.  Also the Hot air spewed by the Global Warming Scare mongers is the source of this phenomena.  It is a perpetual motion heat engine, The hot gas is caused by the Global Warming it causes. 

Have you ever seen a cowpile (bull-pile) steam in the middle of a field on a cold day, well my theory is that this is like a whole pile of Bull-pile-fodder that is composting in the middle of our galaxy.   Some of this heat leaks back into our enviroment which causes emence quantities of bull to be spewed to the public which feeds the heat source.

Of course it could be high energy particals too like the Article says.

How To Analyze Information

We all need to pay attention to these excellent pointers when coming to grips with information needed to make right decisions.
A must read and bookmark.

…the most important thing we’ve learned is that information is like water. It’s vital to our lives; we cannot survive without it. But if too much pours over us - we drown. To keep from drowning in information we must learn to use it properly, which means figuring out what the information is telling us. After all, it isn’t the information itself we use to make decisions; it’s the knowledge within the information that we use. This is why we must learn how to analyze information - how to determine just what information we need to make the decisions we face, how to get that information, and then - this is the most crucial step of all — how to reach inside this information to grasp the knowledge it contains. ~~~~Snip~~~~

Mr. Meyer is widely credited with being the first U.S. Government official to forecast the Soviet Union’s collapse — a forecast for which he later was awarded the U.S. National Intelligence Distinguished Service Medal, which is the Intelligence Community’s highest honor.

I learned much of this over the years, but got my eyes opened on things I had not thought about before.
