Feeling the sequester

Now this is interesting - the President returning 5% of his income to the treasury as a sign of solidarity with our nation's workers who are being hit hard by the sequester. He's attempting to show some solidarity, and yet, most of those hit by the sequester are losing 20% of their pay - one day of furlough out of every 5 days.

So the critics are out in force. Why not a 20% pay cut Mr. President? Look at how much money you make! Everything you do is paid for, they claim. (Or is it? I'm sure he still has to cover personal expenses.)

I don't know, fellow readers - I think the Pres will take more flack for this move than he will gain acclaim for a bold move. He should have just kept the money.

The prejudice - it is strong with the GOP.

Think prejudice and racism isn't a big part of the hate that many members of the GOP still carry deep in their hearts? Just visit the right places on the Internet and it becomes ever more obvious.  An example or two?

But the good news is that they are not a majority of Americans. The racist bigots (is that redundant?) are in the minority, but there are still too many.

And thank goodness Obama is President.

SUV-mounted Dillon Aero

LittleNuclearBastard on You Tube claims that the secret service is installing some modern Gatling guns in SUV's and that they might well be in use by the Secret Service to protect the President. Did you see the flotilla of black SUV's following the President's limo at the inauguration the other day? Check out the video...

The Presidential Limousine

A video retrospective of the Presidential limousine. I guess they get a new limo for every president and this video spends the most time on the new one.

I saw this web site featured on CNN today. A Shockwave interactive web page - run your mouse over stuff in the room and click on anything you get a pointer on. It's pretty unique.

Edward Current: If Jesus Ran For President

Women Are Inferior! God Says So!

From the J-Walk Blog, just proving that an education does not make a person smart...

In 2006, Michael J. Bisconti, listed 12 reasons why a woman president would ruin America:

God has commanded that women shall NOT lead nations. This commandment of God is found in the Holy Scriptures, the Bible, the Word of God.

God has commanded that women shall NOT lead men. In leading nations, women would be leading men. Therefore, women cannot lead nations. The commandment of God
that women shall NOT lead men is found in the Holy Scriptures, the Bible, the Word of God.

History teaches us that EVERY great nation experienced
a decline in power and reputation once a woman was given the leadership of each of these nations.

Women are more likely to make wrong decisions than men. This truth is stated in the Bible and proven by history.

Women generally do NOT have the mental and physical
stamina required by the position of the President of the United States of America.

Currently, all those women interested in becoming president are women of only average character and intelligence.

Women do not have the political pull of men, which is required to be effective in the position of the President of the United States.

Women do not have the political will of men. They are more likely to waver in their views and decisions than men.

A woman would not have the support of the American people. The latest poll reveals that 90% of men and 95% OF WOMEN are against having a woman as president.

A woman would be incapacitated more than 3% of the time because of natural, physiological events. What if this happened during a time of national crisis such as the "9/11 Attack"?

Women generally score a minimum of 20 points lower on IQ tests than men. We need the smartest person in the Presidency.

One woman currently interested in becoming president has the wrong motives for becoming president.

By the way, if you think this is just some crazy guy spouting off, think again. Bisconti has the credentials. He has a Ph.D. in Pneumiatry (Pastoral Anthropiatry), a Th.D (Doctor of Theology), a Ph.D. in Applied Computer Science, a Litt.D (Doctor of Literature in Biblical Textual Criticism), a DBA (Doctor of Business Administration), a D.Sc. (Doctor of Science in Advanced Theoretical Physics), a Ph.M.D (Doctor of Philosophy of Medicine in Pneumiatric Psychiatry) and an S.J.D. (Doctor of Science of Law).

Running For President: An Announcement?

Fred Stumbles

Unh-oh. This isn't going to help creepy Uncle Fred very much....

In another blistering attack on conservative “values” voters, Hollywood Fred Thompson told South Carolina Republicans on Sunday that he isn’t a member of a church and only attends services when he visits his elderly mom in Tennessee. Even worse, Thompson says he won’t talk about religion while campaigning because it creeps him out — remember that George Bush Junior only won the reluctant support of Republican primary voters by jabbering about Jesus all the time.

President Going Crazy

President Bush may well have lost his mind totally, according to his press secretary. Here is a quote from yesterday's press briefing - but there's more. You really should take the time to read this article...

'Snow held out hope that the Democrats would come to their senses about opposing this but admitted it could even be a battle royal. But what about calls for the Democrats to halt the build up by denying funding? Snow admitted congress had funding control but also pointed out that the president could ultimately do what he wants. "You know, Congress has the power of the purse," Snow said, then added: "The President has the ability to exercise his own authority if he thinks Congress has voted the wrong way."'

Video - Presidential Humor

The President takes a stab at being funny with the press corps. Probably the saddest moment is when he makes fun of the guy wearing sunglasses - the guy is legally blind.
