   Hey, Purplepeep…GO VIKINGS!! THEY ARE LOOKING GOOD!

   Not too bad so far, Scrapper, but they need to pick it up a little bit in the 2nd half on offense. Good defense – it helps that the Rams are all butterfingers today!

   This satire in the Onion is very good, especially so since it is far more accurate than funny.

   Just noting on another Blog Ms. Malkin compared to anti-Semite Father Coughlin from the 1930s.

   Pat Buchanan, might fit.

   Mr. Malkin is Jewish, and I get the impression MM is not Catholic anymore (I still am, church bazaar today, large Filipino community, adobo and lumpia at one booth, yum), and would not be surprised if she is one of the tribe.

   More Hispanic parishers, and as a husband of a woman with Mexican parents, I really appreciated the helotes in a cup with chile and mayonaisse, and a horchata to cool the burn.

   I’m a man of the world, or at least Houston, with a substantial Hispanic, Vietnamese, Filipino, African-American, African born, Polish-American and Irish-American community.

   BTW, legal citizens of Mexican ancestry don’t favor amnesty or lax borders, either!

   Did I mention the WaPo is a tabloid rag, and I have more respect for the Weekly World News?

   Well since it’s an open thread…

   The company I drive for pulled me into the Dallas terminal a few days ago and had me turn in my truck. 330+ thousand miles in two years. Time to re-issue it to a solo driver.

   They then issued me a brand new 387 Pete. Same model as what I had, with some updated features.

   My purpose now though is to send a big, heartfelt, ‘thanks’ to the EPA and all the other eco-whackjobs out there.

   Thanks for making such wonderful decisions and setting such realistic standards. I mean, even though when you set the standards, the technology didn’t exist to meet them. And to try and meet them has caused so many problems that one major engine manufacturer is no longer making engines for trucks. And another major engine manufacturer still hasn’t figured out how to make it all work yet. As in, don’t hit this switch at the right time and you can “do major engine damage”.

   So thanks EPA and various other assorted scum of the “green” movement. Thanks for driving Cat out of the engine business for trucks. Thanks for leaving me with a Cummins. Which, while it’s generally a good engine, with all the new standards it has to meet has no power and is a nightmare waiting to happen.

   Same thing happening with farmers.

   I guess when we are all eating bark off trees like the NorK’s, some might wake up and realize all these mandates may not be good.

   Feds to 60 Million American Anglers: We don’t need you

   IRVINE, Calif. USA – October 5, 2009 – A recently published administration document outlines a structure that could result in closures of sport fishing in salt and freshwater areas across America. The White House created an Interagency Oceans Policy Task Force in June and gave them only 90 days to develop a comprehensive federal policy for all U.S. coastal, ocean and Great Lakes waters. Under the guise of ‘protecting’ these areas, the current second phase of the Task Force direction is to develop zoning which may permanently close vast areas of fishing waters nationwide. This is to be completed by December 9, 2009.

   Dave Pfeiffer, President of Shimano American Corporation explained, “In spite of extensive submissions from the recreational fishing community to the Task Force in person and in writing, they failed to include any mention of the over one million jobs or the 6o million anglers which may be affected by the new policies coast to coast. Input from the environmental groups who want to put us off the water was adopted into the report verbatim – the key points we submitted as an industry were ignored.”

   Recreational fishing generates a $125 billion annual economy in the United States and supports jobs in every state according to government figures. Through the Sport Fish Restoration program, anglers have provided more than $5 billion through excise taxes on fishing tackle to fishery conservation and education for decades.

   In addition to the economic aspects, anglers lead the nation in volunteer conservation efforts on behalf of improving fish habitat, water quality and related environmental areas. “There was no mention of the fishery conservation efforts which anglers have led for over 50 years in every state – an environmental success story that has no equal in the world”, said Phil Morlock, Director, Environmental Affairs for Shimano. “The Task Force did not make any distinction between the dramatic differences between harmful commercial fishing harvest methods and recreational fishing, even though we spelled it out for them in detail,” added Morlock.

   Claiming to be the result of a public consultation process the report states, “Having considered a broad range of public comments, this report reflects the requests and concerns of all interested parties.”

   The original White House memo and not surprisingly the Task Force report contains multiple references to developing a national policy where Great Lakes and coastal regions are managed, “consistent with international law, including customary international law as reflected in the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea” – a 300-page treaty the U.S. has never ratified.

   “We question what implications there will be for state authority and jurisdiction in the Great Lakes and coastal regions if the U.S. adopts the U.N. Treaty,” said Pfeiffer.

   The report makes it clear that future authority for implementing the policy for coastal and inland waters will fall under White House jurisdiction with a new National Ocean Council comprised of over 20 federal agencies at Cabinet Secretary or Deputy Secretary level. No reference to Congressional jurisdiction is indicated.

   “This significant change in U.S. policy direction is the result of a 90-day fire drill process as ordered by the President that, not surprisingly, lacks balance, clarity and quality in the end product,” said Morlock. “People who simply want to take their kids fishing on public waters deserve better from their government,” he added.

   Shimano is joining with other members of the recreational fishing industry to urge anglers to contact their members of Congress and the administration to request this process be required to adopt the economic, conservation and social contributions of recreational fishing as key elements of the policy. It is critical that we ensure Congressional oversight and state jurisdiction and management continues.

   E-letters can be sent to the administration and members of Congress by visiting KeepAmericaFishing. org. The future of fishing is in your hands.

   That was a conspicuous usage of space.

   Might need to fire up Flickr to offset that.

    Here is my “amplified version” of Dr. Fukino’s July 27, 2009 News Release:

    I, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, Director of the Hawaii State Department of Health, have seen the original vital records

    but I won’t tell you what those records are

    maintained on file by the Hawai‘i State Department of Health

    but note that I didn’t say that all of those records are “on record in accordance with state policies and procedures”

    verifying Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawai‘i

    but I wasn’t willing to say that until
    the U.S. House of Representatives said so first

    and is a natural-born

    that is, born naturally, by natural childbirth, without any medical procedure such as a C-Section

    [Native] American citizen. I have nothing further to add to this statement or my original statement issued in October 2008 over eight months ago.

    That is, I am still not willing to say that the COLB shown on “Fight the Smears” is authentic, and I’m still not willing to say that Barack Hussein Obama is a natural born Citizen of the United States of America.
    Now GO AWAY and STOP ASKING QUESTIONS!!!
