…for surviving dealing with politicians *spit*, Mass MEdia Podpeople, Academia Nut Fruitcakes and other Loony Left Moonbats through the end of 2009 and beyond:
Build on these essentials with other items–perhaps a full hazmat suit.

"In a democracy (‘rule by mob’), those who refuse to learn from history will be the majority and will dictate that everyone else suffer for their ignorance."
“Decaf” is an alternate spelling of “defective”.
*tsk tsk* While no one has seen one in the wild in my lifetime, AFAIK, in theory there actually could be an honest politician… In theory.
(N.B. Saw the thing on Facebook. I do not know the source of the above cartoon and so can’t credit it. I don’t read the “funnies” any more, so it may be by some easily-recognized cartoonist with whom I’m simply unfamiliar. Anyone know?)
Concerns about Obama’s disingenuity on the issue of illegal alien coverage under his proposals for nationalizing health care are misplaced. Sure, he does probably intend to offer amnesty (by some less loaded term in order to deny that it is in fact amnesty, just like Bush II tried to do) so illegals would be covered under his grab of 15% of the economy, but that’s not the disturbing thing.
No, as he’s made clear, by appointing crooks and liars and thieves (Oh, my!) to cabinet and other positions of power, and by not just his constant lies but the way he lies and uses the Mass MEdia Podpeople Hivemind as his own unreconstructed Pravda, he fully intends to make the US just like Mexico in at least one very important regard: he is remaking the US government over at warp speed into the same kind of kleptocratic kakistocracy that is Mexico’s criminal organization operating under the legal fiction of being a “legitimate government”.
Notice: Curmudgeonly Saturday Patriotic Post Alert.
In honor of the minimum 158 confirmed outright, blatant, bald-faced lies about his positions, policies and actions (heck, I only caught Bush II in two outright, blatant, bald-faced lies, so this guy seems to be going for the world record), and his overall denigration of the office of the presidency, I hereby offer an appropriate a salute to The 0!
What else is appropriate for someone the following comment seems prophetically tailored for?
“You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies”–John 8:44
Salman Rushdie could get a “The Satanic Verses 2” book out of Obama’s mouth…
We now return to the other voices in my head…
Wanna go retro with your cell phone? Here’s a cool instructable on how to hook up an old telephone handset to your cell phone–and it doesn’t even involve destroying your cell phone to do it! *heh*
Adapting a Telephone Handset to a Cell Phone – More cool how to projects
(This is the kind of blogpost you have to chance getting when you come here: whatever it takes to mollify the voices in my head… And no, I’m not crazy because I have voices in my head, after all, THEY’RE the ones IN MY HEAD!!! 😉 )
OK, I’ll admit that while I do NOT like some of the things their voice coach is having these young girls do with their voices, this actually is pretty darned good music.
The group is The Cactus Cuties. The five girls shown in the video above are older now, and only four in number. If you’re interested, there’s more at the link.
