The Army Color guard 1 right lead out of step.
The Navy Color Guard has several out of step.
USAF missing.
Marines (a bunch of old and retired) in step, in formation. Hmmm!
And the various kops are just sort of sauntering up; the grammer school bands look sharper.
I’m DVRing it so I can relive it.
I luv parades.

Saw Air Force, they looked sharp. (No prejudice here.)

Can the President Kill You?
by Andrew P. Napolitano
*** begin quote ***
Can the president kill an American simply because the person is dangerous and his arrest would be impractical? Can the president be judge, jury and executioner of an American in a foreign country because he believes that would keep America safe? Can Congress authorize the president to do this?
Earlier this week, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder attempted to justify presidential killing in a speech at Northwestern University law school. In it, he recognized the requirement of the Fifth Amendment for due process. He argued that the president may substitute the traditionally understood due process – a public jury trial – with the president’s own novel version of it; that would be a secret deliberation about killing. Without mentioning the name of the American the president recently ordered killed, Holder suggested that the president’s careful consideration of the case of New Mexico-born Anwar al-Awlaki constituted a substituted form of due process.
Holder argued that the act of reviewing al-Awlaki’s alleged crimes, what he was doing in Yemen and the imminent danger he posed provided al-Awlaki with a substituted form of due process. He did not mention how this substitution applied to al-Awlaki’s 16-year-old son and a family friend, who were also executed by CIA drones. And he did not address the utter absence of any support in the Constitution or Supreme Court case law for his novel theory.

Can you say: “star chamber” or “kangaroo court”?
Obviously, the answer is yes. It was “yes” at Waco, Ruby Ridge, and the Pihilly AIM house.
“We, The Sheeple” let “them”, politicians of both flavors, get away with it.
When do “we” stand up and say, “stop”!

Cutting education costs by cutting degree requirements is a bad idea
*** begin quote ***
I can understand the motivation among the governor and legislators to reduce the state’s education costs, but this proposal just strikes me as silly. Cut wages, make the class sizes bigger, reduce the number of options, whatever, but don’t just cheapen the degrees offered by Indiana’s colleges and universities.
*** end quote ***
How about emulating the University of Phoenix online learning over the inet? Watch the teachers’ unions scream as that sacred cow gets gored. How about getting the Gooferment out of the “education business”? Don’t let them run it. Don’t let them pay for it. Don’t let them legislate about it. If the Gooferment ran supermarkets like they do schools, we’d all starve! Argh! Separate School and State.

Let’s Talk About the Real Issues, Mr. President
by Sarah Palin on Monday, March 12, 2012 at 9:41pm
*** begin quote ***
Just off the top of my head, a few of these concerning issues include: a debt crisis that has us hurtling towards a Greek-style collapse, entitlement programs going bankrupt, a credit downgrade for the first time in our history, a government takeover of the health care industry that makes care more expensive and puts a rationing panel of faceless bureaucrats between you and your doctor (aka a “death panel”), $4 and $5 gas at the pump exacerbated by an anti-drilling agenda that rejects good paying energy sector jobs and makes us more dependent on dangerous foreign regimes, a war in Afghanistan that seems unfocused and unending, a global presidential apology tour that’s made us look feeble and ridiculous, a housing market in the tank, the longest streak of high unemployment since World War II, private-sector job creators and industry strangled by burdensome regulations and an out-of-control Obama EPA, an attack on the Constitutional protection of religious liberty, an attack on private industry in right-to-work states, crony capitalism run amok in an administration in bed with their favored cronies to the detriment of genuine free market capitalism, green energy pay-to-play kickbacks to Obama campaign donors, and a Justice Department still stonewalling on a bungled operation that armed violent Mexican drug lords and led to the deaths of hundreds of innocent people.

The Real Reason Your Kid Wets the Bed
The simple cause your doctor probably missed.
By Steve Hodges and Suzanne Schlosberg
Posted Tuesday, March 6, 2012, at 6:40 AM ET
*** begin quote ***
In the years following publication of the O’Regan papers, urologists and pediatricians began to recognize the link between constipation and urinary problems. But they missed one of O’Regan’s main points: Constipation is associated with a stretched-out rectum, not the frequency of bowel movements. Doctors routinely ask parents whether their children are pooping regularly, but since most constipated children do poop daily, nothing gets solved.
And so, few doctors diagnose constipation in children who come in with wetting problems. When docs do suspect constipation, they rarely order X-rays to see the extent of the problem, and they fail to prescribe aggressive treatment. They may recommend a small daily dose of laxative, fiber supplements, and frequent trips to the potty and call it a day.
Intrigued by O’Regan’s studies, a colleague and I conducted similar research. In one study published in Urology, we reviewed the records of 30 bed-wetting patients, average age 9. Few of these kids demonstrated signs of constipation; all were shown by X-ray to be severely constipated. Aggressive laxative therapy cured all five of the teenagers in our study within two weeks. Laxatives and/or enemas stopped the bed-wetting in 20 of the 25 younger children within three months. Based on O’Regan’s studies and my own, as well as my years of experience, I am convinced that the majority of bed-wetting cases are due to a rectum stuffed with poop.

[Tip o’ the hat to: fellow Prepster Steve]
Doctors are not necessarily the experts we wish they were. There are no silver bullets. (That’s why I’m writing the “Patient Advocate” book.) Everyone has to be a interested participant in the process. It’s your and your child’s health.
I remember that Castor Oil was a regular of the home medicine chest. “Good for what ails you!”
I remember reading that dehydration led to constipation.
I remember a TV commercial that talk about how much poop was held in the colon.
So there’s a lot we still don’t know about the human body.

On the Rush controversy
*** begin my quote ***
She was a trap, that Rush blundered into voluntarily, in that. (1) she is not some 22 year old young gal stretching her wings (she may be on mars but she deserves the respect that I would, and my fellow alums, would accord any female who was ever capable of bearing my children.) (2) she is a committed leftist democrat who has drunk the kool aide! (3) she is not some innocent who stepped in the middle of a firefight. She is NOT what she appears to be. Imho!
*** end quote ***
THAT GOT A RESPONSE
*** begin quote ***
You give the left way too much credit. Rush has been a misogynist for years. Three days of a tirade was not a slip of the tongue. Rush used to be funny now he nothing but a racist blowhard.
*** end quote ***
It was just a question of who would “step in it first”. It was so obviously staged with outrageous estimates, that when I first read about her “testimony”, on one of the sites I follow, I thought: “What the <synonym for the act of procreation>!” “Secular Progressives” are smart and sly. Don’t underestimate them and their 50 year long world view.
When Rush was first on, I listened all the time. But I turned away because, imho, while correct on the “welfare state”, he was wrong about the “warfare” state. Us little L libertarians are all for defense. From time to time, I check back in. I don’t find him as bad as say Bill Mayer. (Who I think is just nasty and crude.)
I don’t find any of these folks as bad as the KKK. They’re “shock jocks” trying to proke interest to sell ads. Every so often they cross a line, but it’s to be expected. Like gong, makign noise, signifying nothing.

The Nation III: The Federal Reserve now owns more United States Treasury bonds (debt) than China. Think about what a mega-Ponzi scheme this is. The very entity that prints greenback dollars…creating money from paper and ink…prints up a few hundred billion and hands them to the US Treasury to buy debt, thereby propping up the government. It’s the highest form of counterfeiting ever witnessed in human history. The tragic part of this story is that the Fed cannot stop printing and buying. If other nations around the planet want to dump DC debt, the Fed will be forced to buy it so that the bond market does not crash. Get ready for hyperinflation, ladies and gentlemen. It’s coming to a wallet near you.

Paper money always fails eventually.
Who gets hurt? The poor, those on fixed incomes, the very young, and the very old.
Who makes out? The elite, the mobile, those with real skills / real capital, and those who “saved” in metals.
So, when?
That’s the 64k$ question!
We have to think it comes with a “tipping point” event (i.e., trouble in the Middle East; OPEC shifts to sell oil for gold; China further “diversifies” out of US debt).
We’re like the old sailors approaching the edge of the earth. Who knows what lies over the horizon?

Obama defunds ‘snowflake babies’
Program aids in embryo adoption
By Cheryl Wetzstein – The Washington Times
Sunday, March 4, 2012
*** begin quote ***
While some observers support this move as a way to free up funds for more urgent reproductive-health concerns, supporters of embryo adoption say this is the wrong time to abandon embryos that are sometimes called “snowflake babies.”
“I think that daily we talk to people about … embryo donation and adoption, and we hear the response, ‘Really? I didn’t know that was even possible,’” said Ron Stoddart, executive director of Nightlight Christian Adoptions, which in 1997 pioneered the process of infertile couples “adopting” the extra embryos that another couple’s in-vitro fertilization process inevitably produces.
Hannah Strege, the first of these frozen, unique “snowflake” babies, was born in December 1998. Researchers think as many as 50,000 of the 600,000 cryogenically preserved embryos in the U.S. eventually could become available for adoption.
*** end quote ***
Being childless is heartbreaking.
Murdering helpless children is horrific.
The problem was setup when the decision was made to START down this path. That sets you up to have the problem of FINISHING off the journey.
We certainly can’t afford the Gooferment; so cuts are essential.
It is just pathetic that we wind up at this stupidity. Isn’t that saying “leaders lack vision and the people perish”?
I’ll drag out my favorite personal realization from the Original Adventure by Wally Crowthier. “If you kill the bird, you can’t get past the sake.” That translates to: “What if the potential person that’s killed is the next Salk who will cure cancer, the next Hawkings who will explain the Universe, or the next Mother Teresa who will comfort untold number of sufferers?”
Imagine 50,000 Jonas Salk’s or 600,000 Mother Teresa’s?
It makes me sad. I know Frau Reinke would have taken as many as she could. Sad.

What can you do to minimize the impact of unemployment on your professional stature?
A. Keep your professional certifications, credentials and licenses up to date and involve yourself in activities that use your professional skills. Take temporary or part-time work in your industry if possible, or do unpaid volunteer work for nonprofits or charitable organizations that allow you to flex your professional muscles, Margolin added.
Also, you could consider starting your own consulting firm, suggested Julie Redfield, a talent management expert in the New York office of the PA Consulting Group. “Setting up a company — the Web site, the business license — can cost very little,” she said. “Use your network and get at least one or two small jobs that you can talk about on interviews and put on your résumé.”

Over the years, I’ve opened and closed 4 “one man shows”. Shoulda, coulda, and woulda! Just keep it open eternally. Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee charges 500 per year. Argh! Website, call it 10 for the domain name and whatever you pay the web site service provider. Legal & accounting fees, call it under a grand. Business cards, 50$. SO for well under 2k$, you can have an LLC standing around. (Your accountant will tell you why you want an LLC. I’m not a lawyer, CPA, or MD. Nor do I play one on TV. I’m just your average everyday obnoxious know-it-all.)
(Your lawyer can explain why you might want to create several LLCs for holding assets. Ditto above. Wish I done that. If you do several at once, the unit cost per LLC goes down.)
Like your eternal domain name, keeping your email from making you captive of the ISP or WSP, you can always have coverage.
