    Did you hear about this repulsive axe-murder committed by a terrorist in Israel?

    The UN is keeping on with its assault on free speech.

    A Catholic school in Britain shows some anti-dhimmitude.

    Now, from my comics blog:

    Sean McKeever left the Teen Titans, but I still don’t see a good future for this book with Dan DiDio as the editor.

    Writer Chuck Dixon spoke with the Examiner about how company-wide crossovers ended up becoming a Frankenstein creation of the comics industry, and along with publicity stunts, they’ve only served to ruin the ability to write decent storytelling.

    Oh, and it looks like Mark Waid has gone downhill with his newest writing venture now that he’s become EIC of Boom Studios.

    Are our business and law schools failing us?

    Compared to what our science and engineering graduates are producing for our country, you really have to wonder.

    What are they teaching in business schools? Epic failure?
    What are they teaching in law schools? Twisting, bending, contorting and ignoring the U.S. Constitution?

The church was founded in 1864 and most of th graves until 1930 are engraved in German. It was good to tend to the graves of those wonderful people who settled here, built their own church, and worshiped with their families in freedom so long ago.

    I was at an event where Carl Rove and Juan Williams were speakers yesterday.

    Both were FAR better than Obama…and that is not saying a heck of a lot.

    Rush Limbaugh held forth for 90 minutes, said several profound things, and never appeared to have a note in hand.

    Obama is credited with being this brilliant speaker…a master of discourse…

    sorry, it is apparent to me that all he can do is read lines well.

    Outside of that, he’s an gaffe machine and an empty suit.

    Rachel Ray disappointed me the other day! I love her. And I record her show when I am not home. The other day one of her guests mentioned Ronald Reagan and she said, “I didn’t agree with his politics, but he was a nice enough guy”. So she is another lib. I should have figured that, but I just didn’t want to KNOW it! When will these entertainers learn to leave politics out of their shows…unless they are opinion/political shows? That didn’t need to be said…and now I feel differently toward her. She doesn’t go on liberal rants, so maybe it was just a slip. It won’t stop me from watching her show, but doggone it…why do they do that?

    Good for you…I LOVED hearing that! I wrote a mystery novel based on a 100-year-old murder and a genealogist who solved it. There are parts of it that take place in old cemeteries. She finds her ancestor in an old, run-down deserted cemetery behind the foundation of an old Lutheran church. As a genealogist, I have spent plenty of time in cemeteries mainly in Vermont, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Indiana and Minnesota. They definitely deserve to be cared for and respected.

    Flawed you say? Yes, flawed to his very core. Any POTUS who goes to a foreign country and criticizes his own is definitely flawed! It used to be that even FORMER presidents didn’t do that. Now, they do and so does the current one. Isn’t the President supposed to represent the people when he is abroad? This is going to bite him!! And speaking of thin-skinned, remember how defensive he was about his ears? And his middle name? If he had just shut up about his ears, I bet he wouldn’t be called Odumbo today.

    Not published yet. In fact, not even named, although I have a few ideas. I just completed it this winter after working on it for five years and my family is reading it now. They will make suggestions and then I will edit. It is pretty well done, but I do want to enrich some of my characters a bit. If I do get it published, I will let you know! Publishing is extremely difficult and I may end up self-publishing.

    By the way, I went to a writer’s retreat in Maui a few years ago and one of the people in my study group was a doctor who wrote a medical mystery. One day, I walked into Barnes and Noble and there was his book right by the front door! I had his e-mail address and wrote him to congratulate him. There were some famous authors at that retreat, including John Saul. Also there the following week for the screenplay section was Ron Howard. I slaved away in class all day while my husband snorkled and “people-watched”, that dirty old man.

    Should conservatives support Obama’s Afghanistan Adventure?

    I will make this quick. David Horowith, who has taken an intense disliking to Conservatives of late, has raised this question. Though his answer is an emphatic ‘Yes,’ I have my doubts, but I am interested in what others think and that includes MM. To be blunt, I see this “mission” as lacking purpose and definition; that it is without a point and without a plan, exit or otherwise.

    We no longer have a War on Terror. Now we have a war on “man-made disasters,” whatever the hell that means (e.g. negligent building contractors?) [Indeed, why not "person-made disasters" just to be safe.] By now Obama and his minions have so thoroughly corrupted the language I have no idea what they are saying. Moreover, I don’t believe Horowitz does either, though he clearly thinks he does.

    Giving an open-ended comittment to this whatever-it-is, strikes me as a trap. I doubt Obama has any interest in winning in any event. I do know if things go south, he will be the first to say that “Republicans/Conservatives were there with me and in fact, pushed me into it.” Recall Clinton in Somalia?

    And that may be the only intent, that is, to serve as a distraction while he goes hog wild at home. Since Obama is far closer in spirit to the Taliban than to the average American, I see no reason for anyone on the Right to invest anything this. None. Just as there is nothing for conservatives in backing Obama on any of his domestic policies.

    Sorry David, but the enemy is now entrenched at home and that is where the fight must be waged.

    But what do you think?

    This is a prime example of how NOT to depend on a teleprompter when giving a speech. I gave numerous speeches during my professional career and never once depended on a teleprompter. The idea is NOT to read your speech from a machine, paper, tv screen or anything. If you do, it is obvious that you are doing so and you lose credibility with the people that are paying attention. Obama’s problem is that he depends on someone to write his speech for him, thus he is not familiar with it. Then he READS this unfamiliar speech from a machine, not knowing enough about the speech to recover when he loses his place. It is just ridiculous. Oh, by the way, I have never had a speech written for me in my life. The idea is stupid to me. Most speeches are intended to inspire people. If I want to inspire people, then I want to inspire them with my own words and thoughts, not someone elses. And I don’t believe the excuse that speech writers are necessary because the speaker is just soooo busy. BS. If this is true, then your priorities are screwed up because if you have time to GIVE a speech, then you MUST dedicate the time to yourself to WRITE it.

    Saw this article and thought it appropriate to the context of this thread.

    The reporter decodes what Obama is thinking as he flubs his way through an answer. If you try to read just Obama’s answer it disintegrates into pretty much meaningless gibberish by the end, and then just stops.

    And just today I tried to read a Susan Estrich column about Obama – she defends him as “brilliant”. I’m not sure which of the two is the bigger idiot.

    Another tragedy. And this time, they are saying he opened fire because he was upset with Obama and thought he would take away our guns. Well, there you have it, folks. The end of our 2nd amendment rights. Count on it. The right wingers are going to be totally blamed for this rampage, even though any rational person would realize it is just another nut case!

    I’m not sure what to make of this. He clearly is anti-war. So sending more troops to Afghanistan is very suspicious. He has to have a political motive for doing so, as he has for everything else he does. Nothing is done simply for the good of our country. It is ALL politically motivated.

    Did you know that Michael Nazir-Ali, the Bishop of Rochester in the UK, has resigned his position in the Church? What’s really tragic is that his own Church abandoned him after he tried to speak in defense of Britain’s better values and warn how Islam was making advances there.

And, if your mouthiness is worse than casual criticism I’ll go to the trouble of finding out your sponsors and writing them. Guess I’d have to ask Ms. Rae how she knows whether President Reagan was a nice enough guy or not, and whatever happened to that cute fashion statement she was sporting (Arafat’s black/white kaffiyeh)?

    And, here’s a little more:

    I don’t know how many here are familiar with Marvel Comics’s heroine Carol Susan Jane Danvers, but their current editorial regime, run by Joe Quesada, has killed her off, in a manner of speaking. All out of pointlessness and political correctness. That’s one more protagonist in their universe they’ve insulted, this one a smart, independent working woman whom they could’ve developed as a lead character if they’d wanted to, and instead, they threw that potential away.

    And, DC Comics are making a joke of themselves again by turning Gotham City into a war zone for the gazillionth time.

    See, he does know how to talk tough when he says there will be “consequences.”

    lil bHo is refusing to let the economy hit bottom while taking us to a different kind of bottom from where there isnt even a dead cat bounce.

    we’re bankrupt folks…and the means of production– industrialism, with all of the service industry spinoffs it creates because someone IS MAKING SOMETHING besides flatulent air on the order of Peloiscrats and Dhimmis in the White house.

    the oligarchs are so in love with Europe they will trade the 200 plus years of fruit from our American Revolution for the chaos of the French one.

    perhaps we can look forward to Barry Soetoro changing his name again to Louis XIV.

    the only move is to gold. there is nowhere else to hide. get ready for $50 chicken and a good financial lickin…we aint seen nothin yet.

    I’m with Arizona on Obama’s criticism of his own country. I was appalled, though it helps the puzzle pieces fit exactly. His sitting through Wright’s diatribes on the USA and his wife who has said that the USA is a downright mean country. It also shows that his mindset is on a par with his many anti US comrades that have come to light. His effort to Europeanise the USA, if he is successful, will only create a vacuum that Russia and Iran will be only too happy to fill.

    Look at this slimy boast of the Great Teleprompter Stooge:

    “Should North Korea decide to take this action, we will work … to take appropriate steps to let North Korea know that it can’t threaten the safety and security of other countries with impunity,” Mr. Obama Soetoro said.

    But they can still threaten the safety and security of other countries. Just not with impunity. We’ll starve more of their people, as if Kim IlDoofus gives a hairy hang about them.

    Blow it off the launch pad. Just decimate that rice rocket in front of the whole world. And tell the UN to come get some if they object.

    Might makes right in a situation like this. Use it or lose it. And in the process stick something in A-jad’s shorts over in EEEE-rahn. Sounds like a good name for a laxative, dunnit?

    It’s so very simple: dictators and tyrants fold under force a la “Sadamm”. Say bye bye. Overnight. Rain hell on your enemies.

    And tell NATO oo-la-fungootz. Pay for your own defense. Gonna surrender your countries to Sharia Moslems? Pay for your own defense. Gonna play footsie with the Chinese? Pay for your own defense. Wanna be a cheese-eating-surrender monkey? Pay for your own defense. Then see where your economy goes. Down your colonial toilets.

    I’m sorry bear but IF we get to the place that the ONLY move is to gold, gold is not going to help you.

    IF we get to that point, being heavily armed and supplied as we move back to day to day existence on a farm praying for rain today so we don’t starve tomorrow will be more like it. You know like Sudan is today?

    Sorry but I simply don’t get “appalled” at this point. How is it you have a set of expectations about President Obama that when he says what he has said for years, you get “appalled”?

    Nothing about anything he is doing, or is going to do, is surprising nor unanticipated. Nothing that is “appalling”. He is exactly what he has always been.

    Obama is an embarrassment. Heaven help us if there ever is another 9/11. I don’t think he’ll know what to do w/o his teleprompter. Notwithstanding his dubious college education, he absolutely has no concept of what it means to act presidential, let alone to be President. I thought Jimmy Carter was the worst president we ever had. No longer. BHO is undoubtedly the worst and he hasn’t even been President for 100 days.

    All true but I caution you to not buy into the left’s mindset. The left’s mindset is the government and therefore the President IS the USA. That is NOT the case. He is one President. He can be un-elected in a few years. His supporting cast can be changed in a mere 2 years.

    Maybe he is a great reader, but speaker? Come on…he has not one single, solitary original thought in his tiny little brain. He is worse than the Hollywood dopes that worked to get him elected. Just as them, he cannot operate unless someone writes down everything he has to say, and UN-like them, he is incapable of memorizing said written things, but has to read them.

    *The GOP may find a few allies between now and 2010 to slow this “too much, too fast” train wreck, but it won’t be enough; They need to galvanize behind core conservative principles leading up to 2010, and they should start with the Fair Tax.

    I have a problem with the lending institutions however. Not avoiding personal responsibility, etc. However the lending institutions DID take advantage of folks and DID take advantage of loop holes in the current regulations. NO NO NO I don’t not want socialism. I do not want nor expect the goverment to “fix” my life. But at what place, what juncture does someone rebalance the relationship between debtors and lenders to stop generations of endentured servants/servanthood?

    The Old Testament and the way it was suppose to work brought this very thing to light in that every 7 years debt was to be canceled, land returned, etc.

    You can’t keep growing a country IF the relationship amongst its citizens is dominated by the kind of servanthood unyielding debt presents. AND part of the “unyielding” in “unyielding” IS the fault of the financial institutions in this country.

    Does not mean Obama’s fix is going to fix it.

    Just that its not JUST folks who stupidly mishandled debt.
