So much of the country has been having a winter for the record books this year! Here in North Texas we do get a reminder of winter here and there, though nothing like what I remember growing up in the northeast or going to school around the great lakes. After Monday night rugby practice last night, rain began around 10pm. Overnight the wind picked up dramatically and the driving rain turned to ice pellets snapping and crackling against the bedroom windows. By 6am we were in the midst of a full blown ice storm followed by blowing snow. The powers that be at work made a good decision and closed the office for the day. So it's a snow day in Texas! I'm doing a little work today but am hoping to take it easy for the most part.

Government and Violence
Government and Violence
Read and think.
Read history, especially about how scapegoats were used in fascist countries (1930s Germany is a very good example) to divide the people and eliminate liberty. Sorry to get so heavy, but we're in a heavy time. THINK.

Incitements to Violence?
2010 will be primary season reported the remarkably insightful Daily Kos back in 2008. References were made in the article to putting a "bulls eye" on "target" Democrats who were disloyal to the Party Line. As anyone who pays token attention to politics knows, Kos is a left wing site.
Candidate Obama famously said in Philadelphia that when Republicans "bring a knife, we bring a gun".
A movie was made during the Bush years depicting the assassination of a sitting President of the United States.
So, I guess it's totally okay and fair for public incitement to violence, as long as the attacks come from the left perspective, right? Or, am I missing something in the incredibly poorly researched discourse about this issue in the mainstream media?
The attack in Arizona is a horrible tragedy caused by person who apparently was not sane. It was not caused by his gun, not by Sarah Palin (seriously, what is UP with the misogynistic attacks on this woman who holds no elected office?), not by Democrats or Republicans. One man did it and the responsibility is his. People do horrible things. To politicize such a thing, as was started by the Left establishment, is beyond reprehensible. It's disgusting and it exemplifies the elitism that caused their crushing defeat on election day.

New Year's Resolution?
So many of you are making New Year's resolutions to get in shape and lose weight...why not try THIS approach?
I'm seriously wondering how this never caught on. The only possible explanation is that back in the 70s, everyone was so jacked up on Quaaludes and leaded gasoline fumes that they didn't have the energy. Kudos to some chaise lounge manufacturer who wanted to expand their business!

Chilling
Don't make the mistake of speaking out against TSA in Janet Napolitano's America. You might be visited by federal agents. Seriously, wouldn't they WANT this kind of input??!?!!
Does anyone else see this nation rapidly headed toward becoming a police state? Full body scans in order to use the only viable form of long distance transport suckled by the Federal Teat...Random bag searches starting on the D.C. metro...FCC giving itself permission to regulate the internet (what would Al Gore say??)...and yet these same politicians won't adequately deal with our southern border. I guess we know who the Feds see as a threat. It's us.

These are the Things I Can Do Without
The word is "jewelry", not "joolery". I heard this today in a so-called expert sound bite on the radio news.
"Epic" is being seriously (Epically?) overused at the moment. It's often paired with the word "fail" which really means "failure"....on and on.
"I call bullshit". Really? I call you a coarse, uneducated hick.
Lastly, deleting your bitchy, mean Facebook posts doesn't erase the fact of your bitterness. It only demonstrates your cowardice in addition to your decrepit intellect.
