Guess Who’s an Official UN Hero?
Michael C. Moynihan | September 4, 2009, 11:30pm
*** begin quote ***
Rev. Miguel D’Escoto Brockmann, the president of the United Nations General Assembly, bestows official hero status on Bolivian President Evo Morales, the first president of Tanzania Julius Nyerere, and Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.

And why are we still in the UN?

RE: SNOW LEOPARD
Mine went smooth. Don’t believe the estimates it spouts. I got the PACK with Snow, iwork09, and ilife09. Took about an hour each. Only surprise was TextExpander and Scrivner needed a refresh. Only grip is that it left iwork08 and iwork09 behind. Other that that it was a non-event.

Cloudy and overcast.
Damp. Maybe rain? But, I don’t think so.
Tourists will “evacuate”. Yeah! “I vant to be alone.” And, have it all to myself.
Clouds moving quickly to the east.
Maybe the sun will come out … … tomorrow!
ROFL!

John Stossel’s Take
Commentary from Co-Anchor of ABC News’ “20/20”
$2.7 Billion for Captain Morgan?
09/02/2009 12:52 PM
*** begin quote ***
40-70 jobs for the bargain price of nearly $3 billion?
*** and ***
Turns out Diageo currently makes rum in Puerto Rico, so jobs there will be lost if the company relocates to the Virgin Islands.
“It’s insulting that the money we give is essentially paying for a foreign corporation to move from one U.S. location to another, while cutting jobs”
*** end quote ***
You can’t make this stuff up. The gooferment should just not take our money in the first place. It delivers NOTHING!
Seriously, the guys at Free Talk Live posed the challenge: “Name one government program that works? Bearing in mind that overpaying is not being a success.” I’ve never heard anyone answer that. Can you?
And, you want them to have MORE programs? AND EVEN something as important as Health Care, Health Insurance, or whatever they are calling it today!
Sheeple.

Your Tax Dollars at Work
from John Stossel’s Take
by John Stossel
*** begin quote ***
The job of a Connecticut state representative must be grueling work, especially as the politicians have spent the state into financial crisis. The state borrowed a billion dollars and raised taxes to balance its budget. An AP photographer captured Democratic Reps. Barbara Lambert and John Hennessy hard at work.
As Republican Rep. Larry Cafero spoke about the budget, Reps. Lambert and Hennessy played solitaire on their computers. Another watched baseball.
*** end quote ***
Are you surprised?
The gooferment is a joke.

Obama ‘green jobs’ adviser quits amid controversy
Sep 6 02:19 AM US/Eastern
By WILL LESTER
Associated Press Writer
*** begin quote ***
WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama’s adviser Van Jones has resigned amid controversy over past inflammatory statements, the White House said early Sunday.
*** and ***
Fox News Channel host Glenn Beck repeatedly denounced Jones after a group the adviser co-founded, ColorofChange.org, led an advertising boycott against Beck’s show to protest his claim that Obama is a racist.
James Rucker, the organization’s executive director, has said Jones had nothing to do with ColorofChange.org now and didn’t even know about the campaign before it started.
Jones, well-known in the environmental movement, was a civil-rights activist in California before shifting his attention to environmental and energy issues. He is known for laying out a broad vision of a green economy.
*** end quote ***
THe AP is playing politics with this report. Beck called him out as a “communist” BEFORE the boycott.
Having followed Glen Beck’s indictment of the “Czars”, this fellow was imho a racist communist.
One down and a slew of Czars to go.
Obama was known to 100% “liberal” before he was elected, why is anyone surprised at the people in his administration?

George Will is Right
It’s time for the U.S. to leave Afghanistan
David Harsanyi | September 2, 2009
*** begin quote ***
Or is victory achieved when we finally usher this primitive tribal culture, with its violent warlords and religious extremism, from the eighth century all the way to modernity? If so, we’re on course for a centuries-long enterprise of nation building and baby-sitting, not a war. The war was won in 2002.
If the goal is to establish a stable government to fill the vacuum created by our ousting of the Taliban and al-Qaida, we’ve done quite a job. Most Americans can accept a Marine’s risking life and limb to safeguard our freedoms. But when that Marine is protector of a corrupt and depraved foreign parliament—one that recently legalized marital rape and demands women ask permission from male relatives to leave their homes—it is not a victory worth celebrating.
*** end quote ***
Put the girls and boys on the next thing coming home.
Why do we have troops in 170 countries?
We can’t afford that any more than we can afford Obamacare.
Let’s finally end the welfare warfare state.
Switzerland is an excellent model!

FROM A POST ABOUT REGULATORS
And, don’t forget the only true purpose of any gooferment program is to make the politicians and their lackeys the bureaucrats look good. Along the way, they feather their own nest, reward their friends, and punish their enemies. On this side of the pond, the politicians rank lower than used car salesmen. At least, the used car salesmen and you both KNOW you are getting screwed — no pretense, no agenda, no HIDDEN gotcha. Argh!

Unfortunately, your server is still under a DDoS attack and will move extremely slowly (if at all). As soon as the attack discontinues or is otherwise resolved, the server will function normally again. A DDoS attack is essentially a terrorist attack on the server, usually done by a hacker getting viruses in thousands of computers and having them send as many connections as possible, as quickly as possible, to the box.
We are working to reduce the effect of the attack and find out which account is being targeted. At that point we will have to ask that account to find a new host. Unfortunately, we can’t know which account is being attacked without extensive steps, as the IP Address on the server is Shared.
DDoS attacks can last anywhere from hours to days.
Your data is safe. Just currently inaccessible.
If you’d like to learn more about this kind of terrorist attack, check

Thought you might “enjoy” this. Get your BP up.
One more reason to kill “gooferment education”. As if that is what they are doing.
We know that the model was created to produce cannon fodder for the German Army and compliant workers for the factory.
Parents should be responsible for education. Just like they are responsible for everything else. They had them; not me. Why should I pay for their “fun”? It’s contra survival.
