Those In Power

Yes, "those in power". In the U.S.A we liked to think of ourselves as not having a "ruling class". We don't need no stinking queen. But people love to be led and ruled it seems, so without much general complaint, we have gradually succumbed to a ruling class. Some of these "rulers" are in Congress, Presidential Cabinet and likely places. But many are hidden within leadership roles inside our the ever expanding bureaucracies and within academia. Yes, writing grants and receiving grant money is hard work but the just reward of today's royal blood. We commoners should be thanking them.

Big Huge Discussion on Young/Old Earth

Is There Really Scientific Evidence for a Young Earth?

For the past several decades, the question of the age of the Earth has been a very divisive one among Christians. Many people (known as "Young-Earth Creationists") believe that the only valid interpretation of the Bible indicates that the Earth is 10,000 years old or less, and they also claim to have scientific evidence that supports this view of the Earth. At the same time, there are many others who believe that scientific evidence overwhelmingly supports the claim that the Earth is about 4.6 billion years old, while the Universe as a whole is 10 to 20 billion years old. Many people in this latter category affirm the intimate involvement of God in this process of creation.

Comment: Matthew Tiscareno's site has a ton of organized material on the young vs old earth debate. Mr. Tiscareno is Research Associate in the Department of Astronomy at Cornell University. He comes from an old earth perspective. This would be a good place to quickly reference some "this proves" item you hear and at least get the other side of a story.

Roseanne Barr Proves Again, Being Famous Does Not Make You Smart

Roseanne Barr: Nazi Leaders Hitler, Goebbels and Himmler Were Jewish | NewsBusters.org

Roseanne Barr on Friday said leaders of the Nazi Party such as Adolf Hitler, Joseph Goebbels, and Heinrich Himmler were all Jewish.

In the comedienne's latest anti-Semitic rant, she also claimed that many Palestinians are Jewish and were "driven out of their homes by a cheney-ized [sic] Judeo Christian Bushite America."

Further demonstrating her serious need for counseling, Barr said Nazi scientists "successfully created a mutant human--a hybrid of Jewish mentality and German Resolve, the Zionist."

Comments: Sanity exists in Hollywood. It is just not very outspoken.

Where Are The Tea Party Blacks?

Change I can believe in. What is with the hostility of the press toward these people? I guess this group is not black enough? No, it is about ideology. If you are not a communist/socialist leaning follower, then you are an enemy - no matter the color of your skin. Color is only important as it supports their ideology. So it is not about racism at all, it is about political ideology (surprise, surprise). These Tea Party activists have it correct. "If there is no spit, you must acquit."

Lee Iacocca Another Angry White Male

LEE IACOCCA: "AM I THE ONLY GUY IN THIS COUNTRY WHO'S FED UP WITH WHAT'S HAPPENING? WHERE'S THE OUTRAGE?

Lee Iacocca Says:

'Am I the only guy in this country who's fed up with what's happening? Where

the hell is our outrage? We should be screaming bloody murder. We've got a

gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff, we've

got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can't even clean up after

a hurricane much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad,

everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, 'Stay

the course'

GM To Build Plant In Mexico

IndustryWeek : GM to Build New Vehicle at Plant in Mexico

General Motors will invest $500 million to produce a new vehicle and eight-cylinder engines in a plant in northeastern Mexico, a company spokesman said on August 4.

Now tell me they are not running from unions (communist/socialist/mafia thugs holding business hostage for unwarranted wages and benefits). But who can blame them? I assume taxes are also a consideration. Government Motors is even trying to get away from these lunatics in Washington.

Al Franken Busy Kissing Butt After Acting Out

Senate gets 'a little weird' - Manu Raju - POLITICO.com

When Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) laid out his opposition to Elena Kagan’s Supreme Court nomination, someone in the chamber appeared to be moving around in his chair, gasping and rolling his eyes.

It was Al Franken.

After his speech, a very irritated McConnell removed his microphone, approached the dais and confronted the former comedian, who was presiding over the Senate.

“This isn’t ‘Saturday Night Live,’ Al,” McConnell sternly told the Minnesota Democrat, according to people who overheard the exchange.

Franken later apologized to McConnell, but this embarrassing exchange was seen by some as just the latest sign of the Senate’s dysfunction, the hardened partisan lines and maybe the fact that senators just need a little break from one another.
