It did not matter to Joe or the 'journalists' that the incident could never be laid at Bush's feet and that it was more likely that another journalist was the culprit.<br />
Now that information has leaked under the Obama administration and <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/for-cia-family-a-deadly-suicide-bombing-leads-to-painful-divisions/2012/01/20/gIQAyJGVYQ_story.html">people have actually died</a>, no blame seems to be landing on "The One".<br />
It is amazing how much of a non-story this is for the Lamestream media.<br />

She confided to several co-workers what she was doing (mistake).<br />
She also claimed that another worker at the plant was considering becoming a female and that he had worn prosthetic breasts to work with no consequences.<br />
She was terminated and is now suing for all the emotional and fiscal trauma.<br />
<br />
I do have to agree with one of her assertions.<br />

Their ancient herbal medicine was thought of as backward and useless for much of the modern era.<br />
Only in recent decades have many herbal remedies and acupuncture been proven to work and accepted by western medicine.<br />
<br />
One reason that acceptance was so long in coming is a refusal on the Chinese side to accept that some of their "cures" are not only worthless, but manufactured via unacceptable practices.<br />
Rhinoceros and Bears are still killed for body parts that have no proven positive effect.<br />
In China, there are even "<a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/china/8727071/Chinese-doctors-to-call-for-cruel-bear-farms-to-be-closed.html">Bear Farms</a>" that cage Asian black bears in tight quarters, deny them adequate water, and cause and leave open wounds in order to harvest bile from their gall bladders.<br />

The sun has a large impact on those rays by deflecting them or allowing them to impact earth by it's changing magnetic field.<br />
In and of itself, this is a major scientific development.<br />
Duplicating the earth's atmosphere and proving the effects are a major step in more accurately predicting climate change and weather.<br />
<br />
But the real story is how the project was nearly cancelled and the scientists involved have been muzzled when it comes to stating conclusions.<br />

Two of those weapons were found at the scene where criminals killed a Border Patrol Agent.<br />
People are still steamed about it and at the administration for allowing such a poorly thought out operation that actually delivered weapons to criminals south of the border.<br />
<br />
Now three people that ran the operation have <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-atf-guns-20110816,0,7676977.story">received promotions</a>.<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">From the LA Times: "The three supervisors have been given new management positions at the agency's headquarters in Washington. They are William G. McMahon, who was the ATF's deputy director of operations in the West, where the illegal trafficking program was focused, and William D. Newell and David Voth, both field supervisors who oversaw the program out of the agency's Phoenix office."</span><br />

Two attacks happened within days of each other and I had already forgotten one of them because I only saw it in the news one time.<br />
Then it went down the memory hole.<br />
Thanks to <a href="http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/about.html">Pamela Gellar</a> article at <a href="http://www.americanthinker.com/">American Thinker</a>, I won't forget that the <a href="http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/07/mumbai_vs_oslo.html">media are ignoring the roots of evil behind the latest attack in Mumbai</a> while they pile onto Christians and Conservatives over the attacks in Oslo.<br />
While they examine every tenuous link they can find between their ideological enemies and the Norwegian Nut Job, there is no effort to show people who is urging Islamic Fundamentalists to kill innocents.<br />
Not just complaining like those "right wing crazies", but calling for mass murder.<br />

Not enough water vapor has been generated to trap heat to the extent that failed assumptions in computer models claimed there would be.<br />
Add that to the NOAA data showing ocean temps have dropped slightly and you see the climate alarmism train coming to a screeching halt (the screeching is Al Gore wailing and lamenting his downfall as oracle).NoNeoCommieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04214951178211886492noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7657585021039690448.post-50033667701018398992011-07-15T08:28:00.000-07:002011-07-15T08:28:53.636-07:00Prison study will cause debateA <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/07/14/us-prison-blacks-idUSTRE76D71920110714">study of prisoners</a> in North Carolina will undoubtedly cause debate about where social policies should go from here.<br />
The study of 100K male prisoners found that black males between the ages of 20 and 79 can experience survival rates 30-40% greater than those outside of prison for some conditions.<br />
White prisoners were slightly more likely to die sooner in prison.<br />
<br />
Some will argue that this illustrates a failure of society and/or black culture on the outside when it comes to protecting black males from disease, injury and murder.<br />
Others will claim it is a mandate for universal healthcare as the healthcare in the prisons is credited for extending the lives of the cons who otherwise would have less or no access to healthcare on the outside.<br />
Then there are those that will say: "Lock 'em all up! It's good for 'em!"NoNeoCommieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04214951178211886492noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7657585021039690448.post-12823585402664070242011-07-15T08:11:00.000-07:002011-07-15T08:11:46.874-07:00Yep, they are really that dumbCattle in Texas are <a href="http://www.accuweather.com/blogs/news/story/52441/texas-drought-causing-cattle-d.asp">dying because of the drought</a>.<br />
Not because they can't get enough water.<br />
When they are moved to pasture where water is plentiful they drink too much, too fast, and keel over.<br />
Next to relieving themselves in the same water they drink, this is the clearest evidence that domestication makes you dumb.<br />

He showed at the next wave, but disappeared after that and has not been seen since.<br />
The search for <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/43749129/ns/us_news/">David Potts</a> has been called off.<br />

How long before they put up a dufus railing around the blowhole?NoNeoCommieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04214951178211886492noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7657585021039690448.post-59324520932904231622011-07-12T08:07:00.000-07:002011-07-12T08:07:06.287-07:00"Bike to work day" cancelledHoly Yogi Bear!<br />
A Florida man was riding his bike into work when a <a href="http://www.wtsp.com/news/florida/article/200596/19/Black-bear-Florida-bicyclist-collide">black bear collided with his bike</a> and tore off the back wheel.<br />
The 300lb (estimated) bear left the cyclist with major injuries.<br />
Experts say this type of bear behavior is unusual.<br />
<br />
You think?<br />
<br />
I'm guessing that more than a few have rethought their "Bike to work" day plans.NoNeoCommieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04214951178211886492noreply@blogger.com0
