More Idiocy

Christmas trees ‘make non-Christians feel excluded’
Christmas trees should be removed from public places to avoid making non-Christians feel “excluded”, scientists have suggested.

Un-freaking-incredible. What baloney, bull, shinola.

UPDATEx3: Freedom to Communicate At Risk?

Otherwise referred to as “Net Neutrality.” Tell me, what is wrong with the internet now?
I mean, other than those areas that one could restrict (if you felt necesssary AND if you would purchase software to protect your kids from) ………

Well, tomorrow the FCC will attempt to regulate the internet. I suspect they didn’t care to read the letter from the U.S. Senate.

UPDATE: Here’s how the FCC decision to implement this “net neutrality” may cost us. Yeah, this definitely needs to be challenged in court. This administration’s goal is clearly intended to drain us of most, if not all, of our discretionary income.

UPDATEx2: Another look at additional problems with this forthcoming regulation and its side-effects by the Washington Post.
Here’s one paragraph that explains the intrusiveness:

Discouragingly, the FCC is intervening to regulate the Internet because it wants to, not because it needs to. Preserving the openness and freedom of the Internet is non-negotiable; it is a bedrock principle shared by all in the Internet economy. No government action is necessary to preserve it. Acting only on speculative concerns about network operators and contrary to a decade of industry practice, the FCC is moving forward aggressively without real evidence of systemic competitive harms to cure, markets to fix or consumers to help.

UPDATEx3: Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) explained on Hannity and her website how the FCC Internet Grab will be put right by the incoming GOP.
It can’t happen soon enough. What’s more, she did an excellent job in explaining the consequences of the FCC’s actions.

And an opinion at the Denver Post:

January 2011 Cannot Come Soon Enough

And the reason? (Or, reasons – but here is just one.)

Watch out: More Obama union pay-offs in the works
By Michelle Malkin • December 20, 2010 12:18 PM

They want our money, all of it – it looks like.

Also, as of 1:00pm news today, it appears there may be enough votes to pass the START bill.

UPDATEx2: Idiocy Knows No Bounds

DHS Head Jammit Napolitano now claims a burning need to battle climate change as a security issue.

Who told her to jump out of the frying pan? Or, into it? What does temperature have to do with Homeland Security?
I mean, other than raising the heat under our collars????

Hint: Try collaring the bad guys and illegal aliens, Jammit.

UPDATE: What a load of crapola. I call BULL.

UPDATEx2: Apparently, Jammit just doesn’t get it. Her job that is. Here’s why – the family of slain Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry slammed DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano during the funeral of their son who was murdered while protecting the Arizona border, Tuesday evening Dec. 14, 2010. And Jammit’s response? Utterly despicable.

Joe Biden’s War On Christmas

Maybe, but for some (creative) editing …. here you go:

Merry Christmas to All !!

Barney Frank Does Not Believe in Gifts

Of the financial kind, as an inheritance – he claims the heirs didn’t work for, or deserve it.

How nice. Just in time to replace Scrooge with – himself.

Video at The Blaze. If you can stomach it.

Psst, hey, Barney – did you receive any “gifts” from Fannie and/or Freddie?????
Own up now.

Oh, one more thing, Barney.

The government didn’t “work for” any percentage of that “gift” – now did they?
So why should “the government” get any portion of a family inheritance?

All Your Food Are Belong To Us

Thanks to the Senate, passing SB 510 late night last night (Sunday).
(Can we kick them out now, instead of having to wait until January??)

They did this, after objecting to the fact he Senate passed the Food Safety and Modernization Act on Nov. 30 by a vote of 73-25. But the bill was later invalidated by a technical objection because it was a revenue-raising measure that did not originate in the House — Senate staff had failed to substitute the food safety language into a House-originated bill.

(Imagine that. I don’t recall they had an objection when they passed that tax bill – before sending it to the House. Will wonders never cease.)

Impact on small family farms, and the 10 biggest lies about this SB 510.

Here is the Bill itself – for your reading pleasure.

Oh, and these, too:
S. 384 & H.R. 3077 & H.R. 2749 I

Not in the Spirit of the Season

That would be (at least) Nina Totenberg, analyst for National Public Radio (NPR), and Muslim immigrants in St. Peter, Minnesota (how ironic).

If they really don’t like Christmas, they don’t have to participate. But they shouldn’t have the power or authority to change it for the rest of us.

When, just when, are we going to put a stop to their nonsense?

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!

Oh, and before I forget, Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Fine

For saving Rudolf, or a reasonable facsimile thereof – the strangers were given tickets by a DNR officer whose heart remains uncategorized.

Nice guy. But something tells me – no, no Christmas spirit here. Particularly since the episode resulted in a positive outcome.

Risky? Sure. But I, like others, wake up in the morning to face all kinds of risk for the coming day.

Found Amelia Earhart’s Remains?

Maybe. A satellite took this picture, 10 years ago, and researchers found what may be human remains (being analyzed). Word is this island is near the intended destination of her trip.

I don’t know, this image seems a bit – familiar.
