Who do Americans think won the debate?
Monday, September 29th, 2008If you go by online polls you may be surprised to see that Drudge had 94% US IP addresses and show McCain winning, and MSNBC had 79% non-US IP addresses and shows Obama taking the debate.
From the Deaf Republicans (odd name but it is by and for deaf Republicans) blog.
Putin in nuclear talks with Chavez
Sunday, September 28th, 2008That bastion of journalistic excellence Al Jazeera tells us that Putin is talking nuclear cooperation with Venezuela’s Chavez.
Obama has said:
I mean, think about it. Iran, Cuba, Venezuela — these countries are tiny, compared to the Soviet Union. They don’t pose a serious threat to us the way the Soviet Union posed a threat [...]
I want a mom for VP.
Wednesday, September 10th, 2008Sarah Palin didn’t ban any book from any library, an issue important to me as a librarian. The scandal made up by the left is simply not true. It makes them look like they are grasping at straws, and truly they are.
I think that it is great that a mom [...]
I can’t wait
Sunday, September 7th, 2008I can’t wait to get Obama’s socialized medicine.
It will be as good as our government run schools.
Will my doctor be a union man?
Boy Scouts save American flags… from Obama’s trash
Saturday, September 6th, 2008It seems that the fine folks who brought us the Democratic National Convention and all its marble columned goodness think that the American flag is not worth saving.
It is reported that the aftermath of the DNC convention – you know the one with no roll call vote that would have let people express their [...]
Does Obama value libraries?
Friday, September 5th, 2008From the website Obama writes:
Promote College Serve-Study: Obama will ensure that at least 25 percent of College Work-Study funds are used to support public service opportunities instead of jobs in dining halls and libraries.
While I certainly value the dining halls of my various almae matres and have had many an enjoyable meal and conversation in [...]
Candidates kids not off limits ….. OK then
Thursday, September 4th, 2008If we can talk about candidate’s kids lets talk about Bridget McCain, a 16 year old high school student.
The young Ms. McCain was once claimed to the the illegitimate child of the union of Senator McCain and a prostitute of a different race. Of course this is completely absurd, as Bridget is [...]
As the left’s bloggers attack a VP kid they ignore another
Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008Joe Biden’s son Hunter is not having a child, but he is in his thirties and a successful lawyer.
What do I mean by successful?
Well Hunter Biden and his firm are registered lobbyists and they have pulled down some hefty fees in issues that relate directly to legislation in which Obama and Joe Biden [...]
Former DNC chair happy Gustav aimed an NOLA
Monday, September 1st, 2008The former chair of the Democratic National Committee joked with a Democratic Congressman from South Carolina that the hurricane was coming just at the right time and that God was on their side.
You can see it from the horse’s … well you can decide from which end of the horse, but it is here. [...]
Governor Sarah Palin
Friday, August 29th, 2008>optical communicationsh Palin is the next vice president of the United States.
I think it is wonderful. Gov. Palin is a no-nonsense woman who does not take any junk from anyone.
She values the sanctity of life, she knows the strengths, talents, and gifts of women are extrordinary, complimentary, and in many cases [...]
Infanticide scares me. Obama scares me
Saturday, August 23rd, 2008As told by a nurse, Obama supports infanticide.
ландшафт
He may think that defining when life begins is above his pay grade, but he certainly considers it his job to decide when it can be ended.
Why is this man so attached to the culture of death, why does he support the murder of babies in a [...]
South American dog has more respect for life than Obama
Friday, August 22nd, 2008A dog in Argentina found an abandonded newborn and took the infant into her nest with her puppies to protect its young life. The dog’s owner discovered that his pet had found and cared for the child and called emergency workers who transported the infant to the hospital.
On the other hand Obama, [...]
I love Obama’s other brother, the one pushing Chinese junk on us.
Sunday, July 27th, 2008I love how the Obama family gets bigger every day. Now Obama has another brother who has a business in China helping to sell their goods over here.
You know the kind of Chinese products that killed thousands of pets.
However that business is not registered with the proper authorities and is apparently [...]
I also love Obama’s brother
Friday, July 25th, 2008I think Obama’s Muslim brother who is in London with his mom in government supported housing is great too.
I know if I had millions of dollars I would let my brother’s mother live in a council house. That is the way to go, let the government take care of you. [...]
I still love Obama, the Germans- sorta, Ugandans- no way
Friday, July 25th, 2008It was predicted that one million people would pack the streets in Berlin to see Obama on his Magical Mystery Tour. OK, so it turned out to be about 20K, but what is 980,000 between friends.
I wonder how many of those 20K went to see Patrice or Reamonn, the musical acts that [...]
Why I still love Obama
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008The Senator in response to a question abou his earlier that the troop surge in Iraq will not work and in fact will be harmful replied while on the Magical Mystery Tour this week:
Here is what I will say. I think that, I did not anticipate, and I think that this is a fair characterization, [...]
Safety nets turn into hammocks
Friday, June 6th, 2008Some people provided with housing, then trailers, and now a motel room and three square meals a day on the taxpayers’ tab are too lazy to get up and find a job.
A story from Mobile, Alabama by NBC 15 tells of two fine citizens who are still living off our tax money after the [...]
Cat litter and starving people
Saturday, April 19th, 2008I am frugal, or if you prefer cheap.
I have 2 cats, one of which I adoped from the Suncoast Animal League about two weeks ago.
Cat litter is expensive and heavy. I don’t like either one of those so I decided to see what alternatives there were to cat litter that [...]
Bills in the Florida legislature that could impact libraries:
Thursday, April 17th, 2008 Senate 0082: House 0021
Revises eligibility criteria for multicounty library grants. Revises the determination for and the amount of base grants. Revises eligibility criteria, calculation, and determination for equalization grants. Limits equalization grants and amounts under specified conditions. Removes a requirement for the issuance [...]
Obama is right!
Sunday, April 13th, 2008This weekend I went to the shooting range to practice. I do that every few months. As a responsible gun owner it is important that I be able to use the guns I carry with me daily with skill and accuracy.
I also went to church on Sunday, as I do [...]
Quit lying Hillary
Sunday, April 6th, 2008Here is another lie told by Senator Clinton.
A pregnant woman was refused emergency care by a hospital because she was uninsured and could not pay a $100 payment up front. The woman and the baby both die.
The story is not true, but that didn’t stop the Senator from lying about it. [...]
Back to normal
Monday, March 17th, 2008There will be no Democratic re-vote in Florida so I can go back to normal.

What is it with politicians, can’t they keep it holstered?
Monday, March 10th, 2008Elliot Spitzer the Democratic Governor of NY has apparently used some high priced whores. What is it with these people.

Pushy
Sunday, January 13th, 2008On the way home from the office Friday I stopped behind a young woman with a broken down car in the center lane of a very busy road at rush hour. (Gulf-to-Bay @ Bayside Bridge) She could not get her car to move, or even in neutral to push it. [...]
Cindy Sheehan- fugitive?
Friday, September 28th, 2007There is a warrant for Ms. Sheehan’s arrest insofar as she failed to appear in court to answer charges from her September 10th arrest.
She is running, but from the law or for President.
Random
Tuesday, September 18th, 2007I feel like I am back in the 90’s. OJ is all over TV and Hillary has a plan to give everyone healthcare.
I don’t care about OJ; everyone involved (except the police and DA) are scumbags if you ask me. The people that were robbed, the people that robbed them, the [...]
Talking heads talk about Hsu and NYT…Syria has nukes not a word about that.
Saturday, September 15th, 2007Israel blew up a nuclear stockpile on September 6th. The arms provided by North Korea simply added to the instability in the region.
Luckily Israel has some guts, and fortunately for them no Pelosi or Democrats who are attempting to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Israel is not waiting for [...]
Calderon won!
Monday, July 3rd, 2006The communist that wanted to be Mexico’s next president lost! Felipe Calderon will be the President of Mexico in December when Vincente Fox must leave office.
This is remarkably good news in that a stable democracy remains intact in our dearest neighbor. Another bit of good news is that Calderon’s party, PAN, has [...]
Terrorists kidnap and murder Israeli teen
Thursday, June 29th, 2006The Popular Resistance Committees issued a statement accepting responsibility for murdering an Israeli student.
His mother, her grief palpable asks G-d to grant her love for everyone in her heart. The mother whose child was just murdered by terrorists asks only that G-d give her the peace by which her son lived [...]
I’m here!
Sunday, June 18th, 2006Norma (you can see her link over here –>) noted that I’ve not posted in some time and indeed ’tis true. It must be my change of workplace. I’ve left my library for a nice corporate job. It is still librarianish, but I don’t answer a lot of reference questions.
So what [...]
Bush was right

Proposed Florida legislation affecting libraries
Sunday, March 12th, 2006There are a few bills that have been proposed in the Florida Legislature that affect libraries.
Some are benign like early voting @ libraries, allowing charter schools @ libraries. Some are good for patron access to public information such as a bill regarding nursing home inspection reports, and one is a real nightmare [...]
Not only is Hugo Chavez a commie he is an anti-Semite.
Friday, January 6th, 2006Hugo Chavez, the commie president of Venezuela , has revealed even more of his true colors by relating in a Christmas-eve speech that the Jews killed Jesus and took all the world’s wealth for themselves.
Since this was a public speech and not some drunken party with the in-laws it is clear that Chavez is completely [...]
Bush’s listening to foreign calls bad: Clinton’s spying on Americans OK?
Thursday, January 5th, 2006I’m really confused. Clinton had Echalon, a super secret evesdropping system that spied on average Americans in the United States is OK according to Democrats, but Bush’s wiretapping of international calls to and from terrorist suspects is not OK?
Investors Business Daily clarifies the issue.
Simply amazing
Thursday, December 8th, 2005I would shoot him.
Liar, liar: Cindy Sheehan pal
Sunday, November 6th, 2005A mentally ill former Marine has convinced Vanity Fair and USA Today ( two bastions of journalistic integrity right up there with the NYT- all the news that fit to fabricate) that he was a psychotic baby murderer, and that all of the Marines that he served with were as well.
Of course he [...]
US Federal Agents illegally access confidential records…. yet the ALA does not care.
Thursday, September 8th, 2005Federal Agents released confidential information collected pursuant to federal law. The federal agents provided the confidential info to local police to allow them to mount a large scale organized fishing expedition that involved questioning of neighbors and family members of the affected law abiding citizens.
Why is there no outcry about this? Because [...]
More ALA nonsense
Friday, July 8th, 2005http://www.libr.org/irtf/resolutions/iraqpetition.html
Another nonsense resolution was passed at the ALA annual meeting. They just don’t understand that the American Library Association is about libraries in America, not war, terrorism or potato farming.
Here we go…
Whereas, the justifications for the invasion of Iraq have proven to be completely unfounded; and
Hmmm… I wonder if the ethnic Kurds believe [...]
Better Late than Never… I guess
Thursday, February 24th, 2005The Florida Library Association (to which I no longer belong as I found it a waste of $15) sent out an “Action Alert”
Rep. Baxley has introduced filtering bill HB0611. This bill is similar to that of last year’s except Rep. Baxley has now tied mandatory filtering to the receipt of state funding (State Aid, [...]
Alanis Morissette becomes US citizen, breaks US law soon thereafter
Thursday, February 17th, 2005So Alanis Morissette has been sworn in as a US citizen. ”
Isin’t it ironic that this is the same Canadian who protested US censorship by wearing a strange spandex outfit. Thats all well and good, have an opinion but why join the game when you don’t like the rules.
Lets take a closer [...]
Dr. Rice
Tuesday, November 16th, 2004OK, Secretary Powell is quitting State. Did the press blow that a bit out of proportion. I know he was the only one in the administration they liked. I’m not sure if it was because he is black, or because he had second thoughts about Iraq or for some other reason but all [...]
Arafat dead
Wednesday, November 10th, 2004Arafat is dead, really. Someone finally pulled the plug. Now Palestine is rid of that scruffy tablecloth wearing thief perhaps they can get to working on peace. No one, not even Israel wants to keep Palestine and its people living like prisoners in their home land. Arafat did however because it was [...]
Madonna (the singer not The Madonna) wants US out of Iraq
Tuesday, November 9th, 2004Madonna, the well known singer of little virtue and self appointed foreign policy analyst wishes that the US withdraw troops from Iraq. In a recent interview Madonna voiced her concerns saying “My feelings are can we just all get out?”.
The material girl’s exhortation echoes other timeless queries such as “Can’t we just be friends?” [...]
Gay marriage
Saturday, November 6th, 2004Is gay marriage a right? I don’t think so. I am not even sure that marriage is a right.
However homosexuals are not denied any rights available to the rest of the population. I can’t get married to someone of the same gender- not that I have any desire to do so.
Gay [...]
Read
Wednesday, October 27th, 2004Read shush.
The stuff about the ALA Washington Office is on target. Why do they feel the need to spam local and state listservs with thier opinions. I don’t spam Washington’s site with Florida liberal nonsense.
OK now off to bed.
Few show up for Dems’ celeb rallies
Sunday, October 24th, 200438 people showed up to see Rosie O’Donnell in Florida the other day. The Drudgereport had an interesting article about it.
Earlier in the week Cher mumbled some nonsense about Superior Court judges to a largely gay crowd of just a few hundred who were give free drinks as Cher’s CROBAR nightclub.
It seems that [...]

GOP convention
Monday, August 30th, 2004The GOP convention (which the 3 broadcast networks did not carry and I had to watch on C-SPAN) was fantastic. It was nice to see people saying what was right with the country rather than whining about what they thought was wrong with the country.
The stories by the 3 women touched by the [...]
Mental illness?
Friday, August 27th, 2004This is just my personal opinion, and of course I am not a psychiatrist and I have not examined John Kerry in any way nor would I be qualified to do so, however I think that he is mentally ill.
It seems that he has memories that conflict with reality, and he seems to hear [...]
Fair and Balanced
Thursday, July 29th, 2004If anyone claims that Fox News is not fair and balanced they are truly mistaken. I just watched Greta Van Sustern (a criminal lawyer, former CNN wonk and Scientologist – all perfectly fine but not my cup of tea) interview Jeanane Garafolo. I consider Ms. Garafolo the most annoying person on the face [...]
