Goodbye, Jean Simmons...I was a fan. Rest in peace.

Blackwater ain't over yet, folks.........Biden bows to Iraq

I can't comment on this because my blog would be shut down for indecency. Do you ever feel like crying or breaking something (for you men who might not cry as much as I do!) when you read stuff like THIS?

Also, please check out the Mort Zuckerman article below....it's excellent.

Obama loses a Liberal and why..........

Our friend and blogger Opus #6 found THIS EXCELLENT ARTICLE by Liberal Mort Zuckerman on why he's disappointed in Obama. I think it's worth reading. It's reasoned, unemotional, factual and fascinating. I PROMISE you won't be sorry. (thanks, Opus, great find)

Afghans are running for their Bibles now?

MK, our friend and excellent blogger from Australia, has THIS to say about American rifles and Bible scripture on them.
My question about this situation is this..........Which of America's muslim enemies will ever SEE the rifle sights in order to be offended by them?...AND, if they do somehow see one, do Afghan Muslims figure out the code and then run to their Christian Bibles to see what that particular scripture says and then get offended by it? But, we're taking OFF the codes JUST IN CASE??
Are we NUTS? Now, I'm not arguing here whether a Biblical code SHOULD be on rifle sights but the fact that our military thinks that my above-mentioned scenario could happen scares me....does it YOU? geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeZ!!
Beamish adds this excellent comment on HIS blog piece about this situation : We're emboldening an enemy to... get shot by "Jesus rifles" instead of say, blowing themselves up in a crowd of schoolchildren for Allah?

I met Michael Steele tonight.......

Some of us don't like everything Michael Steele's said or done but that man is charisma walking and I was very pleased to shake his hand and have a short chat. He was very warm and friendly.
I also spoke with Kelsey Grammar, which was great because he's one of the least stuffy, uptight, conceited actors I've ever met. Michael Steele can energize a crowd, let me tell you.

Mass. union voters need to be ASKED TO VOTE??

Massachusetts unions are saying they'd have voted for Coakley if only they'd been ASKED. If this is yet another leftwinger media's report trying to show Brown really wasn't popular, doesn't that backfire on the leftwingers?
Don't union voters THINK? Are they just puppets that vote WHEN ASKED and VOTE THE WAY THEY ARE TOLD? OR, does this imply they need PAYMENT to get their people out and the Dems were too late in their payments? No ticky, no laundry with a union?

From the link below:
"Union members can't be taken for granted," said a labor source who confirmed the statistics. And in Massachusetts, "we weren't called in to the emergency till the end." Don't they have TELEVISION in their homes? Newspapers? Didn't they know the left depends on the union vote?

What do you think of THIS article's information? I found it very, very odd.

WE ADVISE, YOU DECIDE :-) Ducky, did you see this?

TSA nominee Erroll Southers has STEPPED DOWN as WE ADVISED.

Ducky argued in comments here that it was silly to think that terrorists don't have all the information TV journalists are exposing on the air; many of us thought that was crazy and there are things we shouldn't be discussing. So, there's THIS:
I can't find the post, but I had done one on how our media's giving terrorists information like "don't get a one-way ticket, don't come without luggage..", etc. WE ADVISED that those things are better not said. Some commenters believed that was silly. This week, Dennis Blair, Director of National Intelligence, said in Senate Hearings that people who give that kind of information out "should shut the hell UP." I wish I could find the link...I've looked and looked. But, I heard it. Twice.
Just wanted this information for the record. See how smart most ofGeeeeeZ's commenters are? :-) z

Another liberal and another cheapening of LIFE

I'm going to get some of you upset........humor me, I've had this on my mind for some time:

Big news! Elizabeth Edwards is 'relieved' that her husband, John Edwards, has finally announced "This child is mine." Aren't you all relieved, too? Hardly. Who cares? Except that this story is just another in a chain of stories of liberals demeaning LIFE, the preciousness of sweet new babies, parenthood, the beauty of two-parent families, happy marriages, etc etc etc. How many more stories like this do our teens have to hear before they stop believing in the sanctity of life? Follow me here...............

Then, we have Jerry Springer who promotes shows with themes like "Ma Sistuh is datin' mah Fathuh" (I got the accent right off the video...check THIS OUT), and "I had sex with your Mama!" (oh, how PROUD you are!...not a little sarcasm here on my part)....the link has any amount of sickening videos...such "GREAT ENTERTAINMENT!" (more sarcasm) Now, liberals have said to me "But, this is REAL LIFE, this is what's going on!" My answer is, "Why revere it, give it air on TV...and, oh, by the way?.... I KNOW NO ONE LIKE THIS...AND HAVE NEVER KNOWN ANYONE LIKE THIS." You'll hear liberals say "But IT SELLS!" I say "It SELLS because this is FREAKSVILLE!" They come back with "It's REAL LIFE!"

In my opinion, ART (TV, media, newspaper stories, etc.) has begun to dictate LIFE and it should stop. Liberal opinions of single mothers, etc., has given PERMISSION to people who celebrate things unhealthy for society today. Can anybody not point to the FACT that there are FAR FAR more children born to single mothers today than before? WHY? Before, it was SHAMEFUL (yes, I have the guts to say it if some others won't...I LIKE the word SHAME and feel America did a lot better when the left hadn't made the word so forbidden because somebody might get hurt feelings or...gasp!...GUILT!) SHAME, in the long run, helped lives run better...helped people make healthier choices if they look back on what they might have chosen for themselves. Is that an accident? (Jerry Springer's shown on French TV right after High School kids get home....you should hear what people think of it. Aren't you PROUD? And the LEFT wonders why "THEY" hate us?...REALLY??)

MAURY POVICH apparently still has a show (I'd seen it a few times years ago and just Googled and there it is..still running)....The MAURY STORE has infant outfits that say "I MET MY DADDY" and grown up T Shirts that say "I AM NOT the Father" .........would you be PROUD to wear one? (yes, I'm kidding) I watched a few Maury shows a few years ago to see what he does...it was DNA test after DNA test, daily......then, every day, revealing WHO THE FATHER WAS! As if this poor child is a BASKETBALL to be thrown around and OH, the GLEE in those punk faces when it WASN'T THEIRS! "IT?" And there sat the 15 yr old mother, crying............and will go home and raise that child. And we wonder why America has problems?

Seen the HIGH SCHOOL REUNION show teaser on TV ads every few minutes?..... REAL PEOPLE necking, the girl wrapped around the guy's swim-suited body in a pool ...aren't you embarrassed to be watching when you know these aren't actors? ick. (These are shows that Conservatives produce? (ya, right)
Then, watch HGTV and see "Ben and Gina are looking for their FIRST HOME TOGETHER...." Of course, Ben and Gina are single, but what the heck, we're getting USED TO HEARING THIS...we're becoming INURED TO IT...drip drip drip.....it goes into MY brain, your brain, our kids' brains.

What's going on? See, we can't complain because we'll hear "But that's REAL LIFE...WHY NOT show it?" or "WHAT are you, in the DARK AGES? Get a clue!" or "What a PRUDE....teach your kids right and this stuff won't affect them!" (Won't affect them? I thought you said it's COOL?)

Is Liberalism as responsible as I think it is? You tell me. Do I think all Conservatives live uplifting lives of values which promote healthy and happy children? (no, but the numbers of Conservatives doing that is higher). Oh, another liberal harangue to my criticism is "Who am I to say Conservative values are better?" I'm nobody. I just look at the facts and extrapolate. And, of course, "who am I to say what MORAL IS?" Right? Can we survive as a country with no definition of MORALITY? Oh, I forgot....some leftwingers believe the only MORALITY is NEVER GOING TO WAR. well...but I'm trying to make a point here, so let's not go there. ***

Your prudish, priggish little friend, Z, is throwing this out for conversation............What are your thoughts? *** The ABSOLUT VODKA ad is from THIS BLOG. I had no use for the Harry Reid allusion and didn't notice it until I published it here, frankly...I just liked ABSOLUT AMORALITY for my post. Wanted to give credit where credit's due on the image.

See Your World..........REALLY see it

This was written by my dear friend Ray. You won't want to miss it....it's information all Americans should WAKE UP to:

FRUSTRATION is realizing that someone's hard earned money is paying for me to attend a left wing madrassa.

I'm taking an English 102 course and I'm thinking it's about writing the long essay. NOPE. It's about making sure I'm sensitive. The school has adopted a theme called SEE your world.

SEE Your World stands for:
Social
Hunger, poverty, education, disease and health, HIV/Aids, children's health, maternal health, gender equality, war and peace
Environmental
Forests, water quality, sanitation, water availability, bio-diversity, carbon-dioxide emissions, energy use, waste, biotechnology, agriculture, land
Economic
Employment, trade issues, debt, market-access, manufacturing, poverty
Through the SEE Your World theme, the learning outcomes we hope to help students achieve are the following:
Understand and appreciate the complex and diverse identities around the world
Acquire interdisciplinary knowledge of the world's social, environmental and economic problems
Develop a heightened sense of global interconnections and interdependence
Explore the historical legacies that have created the dynamics and tensions in the world
Learn how to engage in deliberative dialog about global issues, even when there might be a clash of views
Engage in actions to sustain and preserve communities and the environment for future generations
These areas of focus are drawn from Kevin Hovland of AAC&U and author of Shared Futures: Global Learning and Social Responsibility and from Caryn McTighe Musil of AAC&U and author of Assessing Global Learning: Matching Good Intentions with Good Practice.

It's not hard to determine that the free market and other past 'sins' of our country will no doubt be blamed for many of these issues.

In my ENGLISH class I'm required to attend a Poverty Simulation event, in addition to the following: (these are but a few, I haven't pasted in the full list, there are one or two that are not on class nights so they are recommended vice required)

See Your World Event -- Liberation Theology: Origins, Analysis and Stories of Personal Experience 4:30pm-5:45pm, SC 140-144

SEE Your World Event -- Attend and Report to Class at 9:15pm
Poverty 101, 7:00pm-9:00pm, SC 140-144

SEE Your World Event -- Attend then Report to Class at 8:45pm
History of Haiti: Colonialism, Imperialism and Today7:00-8:30pm SC 140-144

this is an article Why My Race Matters that I have to respond to for my first essay.

Certainly I want to be sensitive to those in need and I am, but why in an English class? a sociology course....I could certainly understand.

Thank God I'm also taking a math class. One can only hope they haven't figured out a way to screw with numbers.

Gee, Ray...could it be AGENDA? :-)
