Happy New Year!!

Sorry for the lack of posting.  I've been sick, but I'm starting to finally feel human again.  I have a bad cold, nothing serious, but it sure shut me down.

Anyway, I wish all my readers the happiest and prosperous of new years!!!!

A Couple Of Idiots

I managed to catch a lousy cold so I haven't felt like writing much, but a couple of things have happened in the last couple of days that just need to be commented on.

The first idiot is out of  Brattleboro, VT. 

A group in Brattleboro is petitioning to put an item on a town meeting agenda in March that would make Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney subject to arrest and indictment if they visit the southeastern Vermont community.

"This petition is as radical as the Declaration of Independence, and it draws on that tradition in claiming a universal jurisdiction when governments fail to do what they're supposed to do," said Kurt Daims, 54, a retired machinist leading the drive.

So let me get this straight, because he thinks Bush went outside the law, they can make up their own?  Hey idiot! It doesn't work that way.   If they passed this and if I were President Bush, I think I'd just walk into town and see who would try and arrest me.  First, you have to get past some rather heavily armed folks in sunglasses.  If you managed to get him after that, the Feds would be all over your little berg.  There is a reason the constitution leaves it up to Congress boys and girls.  You cannot have the President of the United States subject to every hick jurisdiction in the country.

Our second idiot comes from Garland, TX.   A mother had her six-year-old daughter write an essay for a contest to meet "Hanna Montana".  I admit, I had to Google it to find out who Hanna is, and it looks like a cute story line.  The first line of the essay read: "My daddy died this year in Iraq."

And when it was discovered that the little girl's daddy did not die in Iraq, Momma said this:

"We did the essay and that's what we did to win," Priscilla Ceballos, the mother, said in an interview with Dallas TV station KDFW. "We did whatever we could do to win."

Well fortunately, the contest sponsors took the prize away.  This woman deserves a serious ass kicking.  Where is this girl's father anyway?

Have A LAAF!

The Dutch are running a series of PSAs  to remind people that fireworks are dangerous.

They use the fictional Liberation Army Against Freedom or LAAF to make their point.  LAAF is a bunch of bumbling Jihadis.  This is the fourth in a series.

Yeah it's stereotyping, but it's damned funny!

It's Too Little Too Late!

Huckabee's campaign just sent out this email:

Today and tomorrow, as we celebrate Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with friends and family, let us bow our heads and also give thanks for the brave men and women serving overseas in Afghanistan, Iraq or wherever our soldiers stand watch protecting our freedom.

Let us also pray for their families and the families of the fallen. May God bring them peace and comfort in their time of need. If you have a moment today or tomorrow, I encourage you to leave a comment on our campaign blog thanking the men and women serving in the armed forces.

God bless them and may God continue to bless America.

With deep gratitude,

Mike Huckabee

Thompson beat him to it with a lot more class.

I'm not questioning the Huckster's sincerity, but I am questioning his timing.

Merry Christmas!

NORAD is again tracking Santa!

I check it out every year cuz I wanna know where the big guy is at.  When he's gettin close, I'm donning my sleeping cap and diving under the covers!

Forget the milk and cookies, I'm leaving beer and pizza out.  An Ice cold glass of Alaskan Amber and a few slices of double Pepperoni and Cheese will warm him up a bit.

I'll also be sharing this site with my granddaughters.

Fred Thompson's Christmas Ad

Huckabee's floating cross and Clinton's ad showing her playing a socialist Santa Claus cannot even compare to Fred Thompson's Christmas ad.  In it, Fred's voice or even his picture is in the ad.  Instead, we see images of servicemen and women as "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" is played on solo piano in the back ground.   His ad is a little selfless.

At the end are some words of gratitude and just the name Fred Thompson.  No overt politics.  No pandering.  No website.

I'm more and more for Fred!

Enjoy

Merry Christmas

Thanks to Black Five!

Christmas Miracles

Listen as the USAF Band plays O Holy Night

This entry will remain on top until After Christmas.  Scroll down for new posts.

We need miracles. We need to believe that there is something out there larger than ourselves. We need to feel that someone is looking out for us. Since mankind’s beginnings, we’ve sought refuge from our troubles and catastrophes in the divine.

Christmas is a time for miracles. We expect them and they seem to come. I understand that during Christmastime people are prone to be more generous and thoughtful, but I think it’s more than that. As much as we complain about the commercialism of Christmas (and I believe there is much about that to complain about), we derive a certain amount of comfort in the TV specials and the Christmas movies that portray a miracle.  The miracle most often seen in these productions and stories is the miracle of redemption.

In Dickens’ classic tale “A Christmas Carol”, Ebenezer Scrooge gets a second chance after seeing his past, present and impending doom. Scrooge is given a chance to change his miserly ways.  In the film “It’s a Wonderful Life”, George Bailey is saved from suicide by an angel in training. Angel 2^nd Class Clarence Odbody shows George what life would be like had he never been born and George gets a second chance. Clarence is also redeemed by “getting his wings” for saving George. Even the old TV Special of “Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer” tells us the story of a misfit elf, a mutant reindeer and even a collection of misfit toys and how they find their place. Regardless of the vehicle, be it religious or secular, the message at Christmastime is the miracle of redemption. These miracles are based upon the birth of Jesus which is the beginning of Christendom and the beginning of redemption for mankind.

There are other Christmas miracles as well. It’s a time of goodwill toward men. Small acts of kindness, sometimes performed anonymously, are more common. Most of us have either been the recipient of such kindness or we are the givers, sometimes we are both. We give to food banks and toy drives. We donate to the Salvation Army bell ringers in front of the department store. All of these can sometimes bring a little hope and even redemption into someone’s life. 

The good news is that the miracle of redemption is available to us all. That is what Christmas is all about and that is the real Christmas miracle.

May you have the merriest of Christmases and may you find hope and peace in the miracle that is Christmas.

To those of you that serve this great nation, please know that you and your families are constantly in our prayers.  And to those servicemen and women who are in harm's way, we pray for your safe return.

This Is A Travesty!

This curdles my blood.

TORONTO —  A Canadian man who sexually abused his 4-year-old daughter live on the Internet so another man could watch was sentenced Thursday to four years in prison.

An undercover detective who played a key role in catching the 35-year-old man criticized the judge's sentence as too lenient.

The father, whose name was not released to protect the identity of his daughter, was arrested in October 2006, just hours after he used a Webcam to expose his daughter to another man during a chat room conversation.

The father from St. Thomas, Ontario, pleaded guilty in October to seven criminal charges.

In sentencing him, Justice John McGarry called it a "gross case; a sickening case of breach of trust."

"Words cannot describe what is found in those pictures. They are of a three- and four-year-old girl being used by her father for his own sexual gratification," McGarry said.

Paul Krawczyk, the undercover detective who watched the live Internet assault, called the judge's sentence "sad."

I call it a huge miscarriage of justice. Four years? This sub-human piece of dried rat feces deserves 400 years for every second of that Internet broadcast. 

And he will be back on the streets in 20 months. 

The four-year sentence handed down Thursday takes into account time already served, which means the man will serve another 20 months and will then be on probation for three years.

In less than two years, he will be free to molest again.

Defense lawyer Bob Upsdell told court Wednesday his client has been physically assaulted twice while behind bars, and has lost 130 pounds since his arrest.

My heart freaking bleeds for this piece of filth.  I hope he's been Big Bubba's butt slave cell mate since he's been in jail throughout the trial.

If there is justice, this turd in human flesh won't survive the next 20 months.
