Murtha: McCain Too Old

John Murtha

John Murtha, known to be one of the most disgusting Congressmen in Congress (that’s my opinion at least) introduced Hillary Clinton to to the AFL-CIO’s Building Trades National Legislative Conference by talking about how old John McCain is. John Murtha is actually four years older than McCain, but he’s never been one to exhibit insight or self awareness.

Murtha to McCain:

“I’ve served with seven presidents,” Murtha told a union audience. “When they come in, they all make mistakes. They all get older.”

“This one guy running is about as old as me,” he said, drawing laughter and applause. “Let me tell you something, it’s no old man’s job.”

McCain responded:

“All I can tell you is that I admire and respect Jack Murtha. Speak for yourself, Jack. I’m doing fine. Thanks.”

I understand that as a politician McCain has to say things like ‘I admire and respect the Pig Jack Murtha’. I know he didn’t say ‘pig’, but I did. I’m not a politician so I don’t have to be that diplomatic. I don’t admire and/or respect The Traitor Jack Murtha. I don’t like him at all and I’m tired of him pocketing as much of my tax dollars and he can fit in his piggy pockets (aka the King of Pork).

The difference in John Murtha’s and John McCain’s ability to handle the Presidency in their seventies is as different as their performances in the Senate and Congress. Even more to the point, its as difference as their performance under fire in Vietnam. McCain will have NO PROBLEM handling the Presidency.

Wednesday Hero - Major Mark E. Rosenberg

Maj. Mark E. Rosenberg
Major Mark E. Rosenberg
32 years old from Miami Lakes, Florida
3rd Battalion, 29th Field Artillery Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division
April 8, 2008

Mark Rosenberg grew up in South Florida. “All boy,” his aunt, Madelyn Rosenberg, remembers. “Very active, but very lovable.” As long as she can recall, Maj. Rosenberg wanted a military career like his father, Burton Rosenberg, had.

He attended New Mexico Military Institute and entered the Army in 1996. Later, he met a woman, Julie, and they
married one day after his sister’s wedding. He and Julie had two boys, now 3 and 22 months. They settled in Colorado near Fort Carson, where he was assigned to the 4th Infantry Division.

Maj. Rosenberg was on his second tour of duty when the Humvee he was riding in was struck by an IED in Baghdad.

“He would say he’s over there to do a job,” Madelyn Rosenberg remembered. “He loved what he was doing.”

These
brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.

We Should Not Only Mourn These Men And Women Who Died, We Should Also Thank God That Such People Lived.

WordPress Gets Hacked

I have fooled with WordPress until I’m just about ready to dump the whole thing and start all over. My blog was down a while yesterday and a couple of other blogs I help out with a little were down a lot yesterday. The bottom line is that WordPress got hacked and there was all kinds of funky stuff going on.

I started noticing a HUGE increase in the amount of spam comments and trackbacks I was getting a couple of days ago. BTW, if you left a comment or trackback and it doesn’t show up, I apologize! I just got blurry eyed going through pages and pages of spam to pick out the few legitimate comments/trackbacks that were in there. There were literally thousands of comments/trackbacks and I’m sure I missed some that should have been de-spammed. If I did, I’m sorry.

Long story short. There appears to have been some hacking going on. There are other people who explain it much better than I do. I found this article at A Few Good Pens (through Digg) which led me to this article at Artist By Nature . Leanne at Intricate Art is the founder and creator of Thursday Thirteen and well known to be very knowledgeable about such things.

I’m still sorting through thousands of spam every time I go more than an hour checking my askismet. I’m also having some problems with some of my WordPress files. I can’t upload pictures, for instance. One of these days I’m actually going to hire someone to do the technical work on the blogs! I probably do more harm than good.

In the meantime. I can’t seem to do much but fool with templates, spam and my cpanel. That’s the part of blogging that gets really tedious sometimes … like now.

I do advise you check out the two post I mentioned above to make sure that you don’t get hacked. Its NO FUN!!!

Chinese Don’t Like the Dalai Lama or Nancy Pelosi

Dalai LamaThe Chinese have decided they’ve had enough of all the criticism over their human rights record. They won’t defend their form of government so they’ve gone on the offensive.

Beijing is reporting that all the protests are really terribly unfair, especially right before the Olympics. After all, it was their plan to celebrate the progress they had made over the past three decades and all anyone is focusing on is the bad things they do. Its really not fair at all.

As part of their newest public relations efforts they are accusing the Dalai Lama of being ‘anti-human rights’. This kind of reminds me of a playground fight where one guy says, ‘Your mama’s ugly’, then the other guy says, ‘You mama is uglier’. Then they just get down to ‘yo mama’. So now we have the Buddhist monks and the Chinese government going back and forth about whose mama is uglier.

Here’s what they are saying about the Dalai Lama:

It cited an effort by Tibetan protesters to wrench the torch from a wheelchair-bound athlete as a violation of human rights, and said the Dalai Lama dreamed of bringing back the Tibetan feudal system of serf ownership.

“It is indeed the anti-human rights nature of the Dalai clique that impels the “pro-Tibet independence” separatists to undermine China’s stability and unity, disgrace China worldwide, and even sabotage the Olympic torch relay by all sorts of violent means,” the English-language commentary said.

They are also targeting U.S. Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.

The People’s Daily accused the California Democrat of cynical double standards and said she would likely top any Chinese poll to find “the most disgusting figure.”

They called her disgusting …. :snicker: … and there’s more.

“Pelosi would remain the least popular person for China if she stiff-neckedly clings to her double standards and an anti-China stance,” the commentary said.

“The Chinese are fully justified to call her ‘a protector of mobsters, arsonists and murderers’.

I think that means they don’t like her at all. I bet they are wanting to take her in for some ‘reeducation’.

The Chinese have also put out a ‘most wanted’ list of 143 names of people they consider to have been involved in inciting riots and interruptions of the torch relay for the Olympics. Most of the people on their list are Tibetan Monks.

Nancy Pelosi is used to running her mouth about the American government. She’s not used to it ACTUALLY being dangerous to run her mouth. I would not want to be China’s ‘most disgusting’ person. Until things change in China I would NOT want to be on their ‘most unpopular list’. I’d rather be on the FBI ‘most wanted’ list in this country. You’d have a much better chance of survival.

Obama Sends Emissary of Hope and Change to Middle America!

I found this at Ace of Spades and thought it was hilarious. Plus, its a great song and I loved the movie. So I ripped it off.

At this point, Barack Obama is going to need all the help he can get to win over Middle America Fly Over Country. Poor guy. He can’t bowl and he just can’t relate to us little people. He’ll be squealing like a little piggy over this.

Oink. Oink.

Barack Obama to Middle America: You Are a Bunch of Hillbillies

When Barack Obama talked about wanting to bring ‘change’ to America, I didn’t know he meant he wanted to make all of America into a Marxist form of government! Woah! Lets slow down here and take a closer look at this guy.

Barack Obama

If you add up all the little statements that get a little bit of news here and there (I hate to think of what we haven’t heard through the news!), then you start getting the picture of a guy who really doesn’t think much of the people of America. Actually, its a pretty clear picture of an elitist who sees the people as needing someone like him to tell them how to live, where to live, where to work, where to go to school, how to raise their children and to basically run their lives for them. You know, kinda like Marxism.

Elite French Fighting Force Demonstrates French Technology

Its seems so unfair that everyone makes fun of the French all the time. I know, I’ve been guilty of it myself, but I feel very badly about it. I really do.

I know the French haven’t won a war since the Norman Invasion of 1066. That’s when the French warriors all moved to England and apparently took the warrior DNA with them. Whoops. I did it again. I didn’t mean to make fun of them again. What was I saying? Oh yeah, just because they haven’t won a war since 1066 and just because their immediate response to any kind of aggression seems to be immediate surrender followed by wine and cheese, doesn’t mean they deserve to be the butt of jokes throughout the world.

Happily, I have found the following video that is proof positive that the French still have that warrior gene somewhere deep inside of them. Perhaps it will resurface. Maybe its resurfacing even as I type this. They are actually quite fearsome Soldiers. It could very well be that one of the best kept secrets in the world is that these French men might possibly be the most dangerous men on earth!

Victoire pour la France!!

Appréciez …..
