Well...he did do a “good job” if his objective was the complete and utter destruction of the Free Market economy as we know it.
I tweeted for about 6 months but I hated having to think up and use contractions to make my point fit in the box.
Drudge refreshes every couple minutes or so on its own and that will bog down an older computer if you have other windows open.
Once you go Mac you never go back!
I’M WELCOME!
Amen to that!
But, but, we might! (That’s how they think. We are guilty of the thought crimes they think we are thinking!)
Me thinks it would make a hot bumper sticker.
Police pepperspray CA students protesting tuition hikes... http://drudge.tw/bqzRdd
I think she just needs another excuse to drink up.
P party- tell me this isn’t costing John Q a single penny!
Speaking of which . . .
Quinn & Rose have a promo that features the slogan:
JESUS SAVES . . . OBAMA SPENDS
At the risk of sounding disrespectful, I think that would make a neat bumper sticker as well.
It seems that it would be disappointing compared to FB.
These protestors, who no doubt will cry about abuse always remind me of my “History of Africa” professor, who was from Nigeria. In 2000, when the G-8 was in Seattle and people were protesting, some students were complaining before class about the police utilize bean bag bullets on the protestors (who were destroying property and burning things). Dr. Mahmoud walked over and said, “Bean Bag Bullets? That is nothing. In my country, you protest the government, you wake up - there is a tank. I hid in the woods after protesting for democracy in my country, I wake up, there was a tank that told me to chose my country or my life. “
Anytime I see these hippie brats protesting and rioting, I always think of that story.
I like that one too.
Amen.
The Generals rolled him?

Almost arrested for refusing the TSA pat-down.

Very unpleasant experience today with TSA employees on a mission from God to conduct full body pat-downs whenever they could. Youve heard about it. Youve seen it on television. Well, it actually happened to me this morning and I almost went to jail over it.
I was attempting to fly out of Sarasota, Florida to Atlanta, Georgia today. I cleared security and got out to my gate only to discover the flight was delayed for another hour and a half. So I exited the boarding area and went to one of the restaurants in the main terminal. When I attempted to go back through security I was detained and told to sit in a Plexiglas cubical. I was now separated from my carry-on bag, my shoes, wallet, cell phone, watch and belt. Eventually a TSA employee entered and began to describe the procedures he was going to use to pat-down my entire body. I declined, and said I wanted to go back through the scanner. After all, I had cleared it earlier in the morning, and there was nothing new on my person. Perhaps it was just a misreading.
Well, they would have none of that. A very pompous little supervisor came over and asked me if I wanted to fly today. I informed him that was my intention. Otherwise, why would I be in his little plexiglass cubical. I told him I did not wish to submit to the full body pat-down because I believe it is unwarranted and potentially an unconstitutional invasion of my right to privacyyou know, the privacy right the Supreme Court says is in the Constitution even though there are no such words to that effect. Not persuaded by my argument, the supervisor told me to submit or he would have me arrested. I asked what law I was allegedly violating. He said refusal to submit to federal authority. I replied that I thought there were less intrusive alternatives. He said No, and once again demanded that I submit. I declined, so he brought over his superior and three Sheriffs deputies. Now it was getting interesting.
So much time was taken up with all this nonsense that I missed my flight. When I informed them that I wished to leave the screening area so I could see about another flight I was advised that I was not allowed to leave. Now that I had tripped into their briar patch I either submitted to their search or face arrest. I contemplated the arrest scenario in earnest. When I was in law school 30 years ago, I dont recall things being like this. Certainly there have been some changes, especially after 9-11, but full body pat-downs and groping of genitalia? When did all this come about Janet Napolitano? Last week? Well, I dont think it will be around six months from now, so enjoy it while you can.
Facing certain arrest if I refused to submit to their police tactics, I agreed to the search and was led to a private cubical with frosted glass to keep things a bit more private. A Sheriffs deputy stood inside because I said I did not wish to be without witnesses should the TSA employee get a bit too frisky while feeling every inch of my body, and I do mean every inch! Ladies, you are going to love this new procedure when you get singled out for special treatment. And guys, you are not going to like it one bit. No happy ending!
Naturally, the extraordinary feel-down didnt produce anything explosive, or otherwise. Nevertheless, I was informed that the contents of my carry-on bag needed to be searched. Once again, I protested, informing them that it had already passed through screening on the x-ray conveyor belt. Well, now things were different. Now that I was getting the special treatment, the entire contents of my bag were laid out on the table for all to see. About 13 local and federal agents gathered around for this little training exercise, or as our beloved President Obama would call it, a teachable moment. Fortunately, I wasnt carrying any sexy lingerie or other items that could cause one to blush. And the extra look-through didnt produce anything explosive or dangerous, even though I mentioned that my house key could be used to poke out someones eye. They failed to see the humor in that observation and stuffed my belongings back into the bag and escorted me out of the screening area and into the ticketing terminal. I got booked on a late afternoon flight, rented a car for three hours ($18 is a lot cheaper than a taxi), and came home to catch on some work before returning to the brave new world of TSA dominance.
As a Million Miler with Delta, I have a little bit of experience with this whole flying thing. I was flying long before 9-11 brought about all this beefed up security and intrusiveness. Ive faced plenty of airport security issues about the decade, had valuable items stolen from my checked bags by TSA employees, and now this arrogant display of unbridled assault and battery on my body, all in the name of protecting the American public. I publish this missive and add my voice to the growing tide of rebellion over this unprecedented intrusion against our personal freedom.
Now, its time to head back to the airport and pray that there has been a shift change in the screening area. If not, please come visit me wherever they decide to lock me up.
Well hopefully I will get a new puter soon. I am using a replacement old one to replace my old one damaged by the lightning strike.
I did not have another window open, but it could of very well been an update problem.
BTW, not to hijack thread....but the FBI is involved???? I asked why, and was told to “expedite the investigation”.
He really needs to be removed quickly, ya know/sarc.
Seriously, what difference would it make now, if the other games will be forfeited too? Sigh, well it was fun while it lasted.
