A Warning to Fathers, Protect Your Daughter. By Any Means

Sun Jun 15, 2008 at 07:20:19 AM PDT

Though I tried, I failed.
I am holding her last Father's Day card to me.
She was murdered in March of 2007.

If your daughter is friends with, dating or married to anyone that shows the following signs, you must do "all that is within your power" to protect your daughter.

Do not assume that the authorities will help you. They failed my daughter miserably.

Dad, take all measures to protect her from anyone that exhibits any of these behaviors.

Lie to me and tell me everything is all right

Tell me that you’ll never leave,

UPDATED: Ohio AG told to resign or be impeached

Mon May 05, 2008 at 09:48:48 AM PDT

TOLEDO BLADE- COLUMBUS - Democrats promised to hold themselves to a "higher standard" in 2006 as they rode Republican scandal into office, so some are openly questioning whether the new Democratic regime has surrendered the moral high ground with its first major scandal.

The questions go beyond whether Attorney General Marc Dann can politically survive his admission Friday that his own extramarital affair with an employee may have contributed to an atmosphere in his office that led to accusations that a top aide sexually harassed two state employees.

UPDATE:

COLUMBUS — Gov. Ted Strickland and other high-ranking Ohio Democrats Monday joined Republicans in the chorus for Attorney General Marc Dann to immediately resign and threatened to lead the march toward impeachment if he does not. Mr. Dann refused to step down in two phone conversations Sunday with the governor and again in a statement released Monday.

My Spiritual Mentor, The Chink

Sat May 03, 2008 at 07:00:32 AM PDT

I sneezed 13 times in rapid succession this morning. Not just your little golf sneezes into closed hands mind you, but body wracking man-sneezes that sprayed spittle and sputum hither, thither and even yon. Tears not only ran down my face, tears broad-jumped from my chin onto my chest and swam south eventually pooling in my navel. It was the triathlon of tears.

I contemplated this and concluded that this sneezing was indeed very mysterious, and since we are taught God works in mysterious ways, it must be divine.

Blinded by the tsunami of tears that now formed a salt-water sea in my bellybutton where millions of my DNA molecules frolicked ecstatically like Spring Breakers high on PNA (Peptide Nucleic Acid), I reached for my handy-dandy Bible.

With closed eyes, I opened the book to a random page and with my finger, blindly selected a passage for spiritual guidance. As I waited for my eyes to clear, I wondered if this is how God selects where a lightning bolt will strike during a thunderstorm, or if he intends that an occasional church steeple gets zapped along with a few unfortunate parishioners.

As my eyes cleared, I struggled to read these words...

HRC: Pimp My Chopper, How 2 turn 5K into 6 Billion

Mon Apr 21, 2008 at 02:52:50 AM PDT

  Did W. need a new chopper?
                    or..
  Was HRC kicking tires for her new ride?

Marine One Presidential Helicopter

"They could have taken any old Black Hawk helicopter, put a nice interior in it and a decal on it, and it would've been OK. Instead, we got this thing that costs four times as much. It's nuts."

An earmark from Hillary requested a new ride that costs 400 freaking million American dollars for one helicopter.
More than the Boeing 747 used as Air Force One.

The helicopter is built in____________
by______________
who gave __________
to __________'s campaigns.

On Tibet and Propaganda: Follow the "Information"

Tue Apr 15, 2008 at 07:41:55 PM PDT

Breakfast where the news is read
Television children fed
Unborn living, living, dead
Bullet strikes the helmet's head
  Jim Morrison, The Unknown Soldier

PROPAGANDA- ideas, facts, or allegations spread deliberately to further one's cause or to damage an opposing cause.

The propaganda war is on and there are two sides to this coin.

Point in fact for the purpose of this discussion: The Chinese media is controlled by the communist government. No question. Do they use their media to further their cause? Certainly.

Who is on the other side of the coin?
You may be surprised...

Tibet was "not" Shangrila: Rare film from 1950's

Sun Apr 06, 2008 at 09:21:14 AM PDT

I thought I would post this today so that Kossacks will have some knowledge of historical conditions in Tibet.

Some will say, "But it's from CCTV, therefore it is propaganda."
Watch and judge for yourself.

The 25 minute documentary includes rare archived film footage from the 1950's and recent follow up interviews with survivors that are seen in the film.

Links below the fold, please watch Parts 1 and 2 and then discuss in comments if you like.

In a political move that received little if any attention by the American news media, the United States and Canada entered into a military agreement on February 14, 2008, allowing the armed forces from one nation to support the armed forces of the other nation during a domestic civil emergency, even one that does not involve a cross-border crisis, according to a police commander involved in homeland security planning and implementation.

Buddhism is so cool. But....

Wed Apr 02, 2008 at 05:47:55 AM PDT

Yes, it is. A very cool religion.
But there is a problem that we Americans need to explore as a Democratic nation founded on the principles of Separation of Church and State and Freedom of Religion..
How does Tibet survive politically in a modern world?
Should the spiritual leader of Buddhism be a political leader?

Super Delegates, Have No Fear. "Clinton's Revenge" will be history.

Thu Mar 27, 2008 at 09:27:17 AM PDT

The Revenge of the Clintons is legendary stuff and in the past was to be rightfully feared.

After Bill's re-election, many of his political opponents and critics in the press were audited by the IRS.  This tactic is "old school". Nixon used it as have many politicians before and since.

Have no fear, when HRC is inevitably defeated in the the primary, their revenge will be toothless.

A look at all 3 Candidates and their Spiritual Advisors

Thu Mar 20, 2008 at 05:10:54 AM PDT

Some people obviously need help in talking to "the invisible guy in the sky" and require others to help them.

We are all aware that the present occupier of the White House can summon the Hairy Thunderer at will, often having discussions about which nations need invaded and what government leaders need to be killed.  But even with his direct connection to the spirit world, W has received spiritual guidance along the way from the likes of some of the wackiest bunch of snake oil salesman and TV healers this side of the River Hades. I won't go into it here other than to say it really hasn't received much attention in the MSM in the last 7 years.

To insure that the next president maintains America's needed broadband connection to Cosmic Muffin above, let's look at their spiritual advisers.

Hey Kids, so you wanna be President when you grow up?

Sun Mar 16, 2008 at 05:49:08 AM PDT

You must start planning NOW!.
Become invisible.

That's what "they" are doing at God University.

If you thought Regent (Monica Goodling) University was bad,
this place makes Regent look like Faber College on an ether binge.

UPDATED: Oil & Water Do Not Mix: Haliburton Poisons Our Troops

Mon Mar 10, 2008 at 04:41:45 AM PDT

When I was dragging a PRC-25 radio, ammo, Claymore Mine, grenades,smoke grenades and other implements of destruction through the jungles of South Vietnam, I got very thirsty.  I also carried 4 canteens of drinking water.

Way out there in the boonies, we would sometimes come across a clear flowing stream of cool water. It was so tempting to cup my hands in the clear water and quench my thirst after humping all that gear for 10 clicks (kilometers). It was 110 degrees, I was almost out of water and the resupply chopper was not due until the next morning.

I didn't drink it, because I was told that I would be court martialed if I got sick due to the fact that I was U.S. Government Property.

Article 108 of the Uniformed Code of Military Justice
Any person subject to this chapter who, without proper authority—

    willfully or through neglect damages, destroys, or loses; any military property of the United States, shall be punished as a court-martial may direct."
