I have been politically active locally since early summer. we have a couple of elected village board members who didn’t take the work place violence/harassment class mandated by the state....all of us volunteers have to take it, SO I started a petition basically saying that they should take the class or resign......got up to 70 signatures......been ticking off these two board members. Been having some fun.....Monday night at the meeting the room was FULL when I read the petition and announced that I now was up to 70 residents of the village who had signed....they voted to hold another two classes at who knows what cost so they can take it. next meeting I will ask the cost of this and how many others will be taking it at this time. should prove interesting.
I am enjoying myself immensely.
When not FReeping, I am engaged in banaustic matters.
it’s good to have a hobby. if it involves horking someone off, better yet ; )
how banal ; )
Good for you!
For those of you wondering, I have been able to get Beck’s Spooky Dude series from last week on watchglennbeck.com, when the bandwidth here is OK. I usually have to let it spool up for a while, then watch some, lather, rinse, repeat.
Excellent analogy he is making about being the guy with the lifeboat, not the people making a sign on their attics.
that is awesome.
Today he discussed junk touching by TSA. Have you experienced it yet? Xshub is flying out of bwi to Austin tomorrow and is wary of what he’ll be subjected to...
I believe the revolt has started......we have had enough already. Don’t touch the junk. And what about that woman who’s blouse was pulled down and they exposed her in public. This has got to end......ban and give extra screening to all Muslims.......it WAS Muslims who committed the terrorism, not little three year old girls.
That’s if you decline the scanner. I’ve gone through the scanner many times. They just put them in at Pittsburgh.
The next successful Muslim terrorist isn’t going to look like a Muslim. It will be a Western convert, like a Johnny Walker Lindh. Or a non-Arab Muslim from a Central European state.
Going through the scanner many times, yeah, so have i. But i think it’s worth worrying a bit over excessive radiation if you travel frequently and you are reliant on the mensa candidates who are our TSA agents, to set the levels at which the machine radiates. This system is flawed, and a much better system is that which Israel/el al employs, which Glenn spoke about yesterday. They rely on people not machinery. All El Al screeners are ex-military.
and whoever he/she is, is going to have explosives tucked into a body cavity or have PETN, neither of which would be detectable by current methods. will they then do body cavity searches or INCREASE the level of radiation to x-ray/MRI levels so as to look at our INNARDS as well? where does it end?
I would rather have an ex-military searching me than an immigrant from a third world country. just sayin’
kinda reminds me about how the media always hypes the homeless when it’s a republican in charge, but ignores it when it a democrat.....same thing, different subject....same as sex scandals...if it’s a dem it’s ok, if it a pubbie all hell breaks loose.
how about we walk through a gauntlet of ex-military with bomb sniffing dogs.......I would feel very safe then. ;^)
