Now, what is equestrian roller hockey?  I don't know, but I'd like to see that!  The racquets ice dance also sounds pretty interesting.

No Child Left Behind

Hey, lunkheads in congress and senate. Do think that, instead of making accountability law without money is more important than keeping students who want to go to school safe? Flunkies at the congress and senate wheel, step away and quit. Safety should be number one! If they aren't safe at school, they won't go and the smart parents won't send them. Get that "No Child Left Behind" shit off the books and make funding for education. Look, you can tell the world that you don't have the money, but you had the money for a war in Afghanistan and Iraq. We're still paying that daily. SO ... I don't believe a friggin' word when you tell me the nation doesn't have the money. You lied right there. "You're sitting there, acting like we didn't already have this conversation!"+

Make schools safe. Fund schools so that they have staff and supplies. Make education work. If you only look to the next day and not the next couple of decades, then step away. You aren't a thinker and aren't a planner. The US imports college grads abroad because we don't produce enough. How many GED or High School only jobs are there now? How many will there be in ten years? There will be fewer and you know that!

Let "No Child Left Behind" be a founding for money and education and the resurgance of learning, not a cold phrase from a teen killer holding a gun.

Access, genetic donors, access

Case in point a mother used her baby as a weapon in a domestic despute. Did IQ's drop sharply while I was away?+ Some people should never have access to children, even their own. I blogged yesterday on this very topic. So, you think these people would adopt out their child? So, you think these people are good parents? So, the child won in this case? Bullshit, that's an animsl! Shoot it!++

Local newspaper poll

Would the country be better off if Democrats won control of the U.S. House of Representatives in November?

Yes. Democrats better represent the needs of ordinary people.

Yes. Democrats couldn't be worse than Republicans have been.

No. Republicans haven't done as much good as they could have, but they're still better than Democrats.

No. Republicans hold the line against terrorism abroad and moral decline at home.

I'm going to borrow a short dialogue from My Cousin Vinny;

“I can't answer that question.”

“Are you saying that you don't know the answer?”

“Nobody can answer that question.”

“You see, she doesn’t know!”

“No, it’s because it’s a bullshit question!”

“Why is it a bullshit question?”

……….

I can’t answer it because you don’t friggin elect a party, unless you’re an ass and pull the party switch not choosing at all. The question should be, while difficult to answer: “Who should be in the US House to make things right?” This now doesn’t imply that things are wrong or right and doesn’t matter at all what party, sex or whatever. I should see persons on the ballot, not parties, which are like online spam or popup ads. I know that it doesn’t take a particular party to improve or ruin what is, but rather individuals. Take, for example Foley. Does Foley represent the Republican party? If you say yes, then there you go. I think most people would cite him as an individual, as are they all. If I take this approach, then parties need to be disbanded, because you recognize persons as individuals. Otherwise, you could assume that all Republicans are like Bush and Foley, and that all Democrats are like Kennedys and Clintons.

It’s a bullshit question.

Iran blames US -- how shocking!

Iran blames U.S. for N. Korea nuke test
By Ali Akbar Dareini
Associated Press Writer

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) -- Iranian state radio Monday blamed North Korea’s reported nuclear test on U.S. pressure, accusing Washington of “humiliating” the impoverished communist country. “Not only did the United States not lift the sanctions it had imposed on North Korea, it even increased the diplomatic pressure. Such pressure finally led North Korea to conduct its nuclear test,” Iranian state radio said in a commentary.

“North Korea’s nuclear test was a reaction to America’s threats and humiliation,” it said. Iran has said it will not abandon uranium enrichment despite the threat of international sanctions over its disputed nuclear program, which Tehran insists is purely for peaceful purposes to be used for nuclear energy.

President Bush on Monday said the United States was still attempting to confirm that a nuclear test in North Korea had actually taken place. Still, he said, “such a claim itself constitutes a threat to international peace and security.”

Iranian state radio accused Washington of “double standards” in its policy on nuclear nonproliferation, pointing to its attitude toward Israel and India. India has tested a nuclear bomb and Israel is widely believed to possess such weapons, but the United States is not currently applying sanctions against them.

In an oblique message to the United Nations, which is considering taking steps against Iran’s nuclear program, Iranian state radio said that the Security Council should not punish North Korea but disarm the nuclear arsenals of the great powers. “Instead of imposing comprehensive sanctions on North Korea ... it would be better if the U.N. Security Council adopt a wise decision and seek full implementation of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty,” it said.

“That is to say, it should seek to disarm the countries that currently possess nuclear weapons and provide conditions so that signatories to the treaty will be able to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes,” it said.
........

So, the US is to blame for that whole thing with North Korea building nuclear weapons and selling them to Iran and Syria. I see. Yes, that would make sense that the US would encourage arms sales to and through the "Axis of Evil" governments named in 2001. I can see exactly why the US got in on that. Oh, wait ... headache, no, it's

Logic time!

Iran, shout all you want. No one with a brain listens to that crap anyway. Having a long ... L -- O --- N ------ G history of strife, fighting, murder, absolute control over groups, kidnappings (remember the 444 days with the US captives) , Iran has absolutely no backers on this one. I dare write, they should not have backers at all.+ That 33 year old horse isn't going to win that race, long shot and big payoff or not. It ain't gonna happen. If we examine Iran and its developments we find ... almost no change since 578 A.D. -- yep, A. D. (in the year of our Lord, buddy.)

Iran, in weapon development, or rather in hopes of development, is casting blame on US and trying to direct attention to North Korea, which could be wiped off the face of the planet in a non-nuclear war against China. Now, Kim Jong-II might be mad. He might even launch one, but at the peril of mostly himself. Not too many countries would cry over the carpet bombing that many close nations would do in order to, well, create overnight desertification on the area.

Oh, just FTI: as you called China an hour before the testing, you'll likely also get an FYI call about an hour before forfeiture of control. News tomorrow: North Korea and Iran get deliveries of weapons-grade nuclear material ... in warheads themselves. No communication available from either government.

More bills I didn't know I was paying

The military outsources advertising, so "Paid for by the US army", which is you is also then sent to another company that is in charge of advertising for the armed forces. They were paid $200 million in 2005. I wonder how many tax dollars Godsmack got for the Navy commercial. Isn't that a funny bit of irony. Godsmack paid by the taxpayers. Hmmm. I'd say there weren't too many bands paid by tax dollars like that, eh?

Method 2

As well as a wall that will be erected, the US will soon have a croc filled moat. While, internationally, they caught and will keep the crocodile in a holding area, I suspect that some clever thinkers will now have a new method of eliminating the would-be river crossers from Mexico to the US. I think that few persons use this path to enter, but should it ever had been, these nature files of the migration would be sickening and planned, but effective for some.

Cross at your own risk.

I'm the guilty party

When around the youth -- children, it is always wise to carefully choose your words. I refrain from swearing as best as I can and I try not to refer to adult matters. I have, unwittingly, left a word well in the vocabulary of Charlie. I had played some game and then -- bampf, "moron" spilt out. I paid no attention to my liking of this word until Charlie referred to folders on the TiVO as morons. Oh, my ... I'm glad that I didn't say it in a derogatory manner denoting its meaning. Yikes! A tabboo word for him and family is "stupid".

In this case, I would like to backpeddle away from responsibility, but I can't ... I am the moron for using the word.
