This means that only 1600 jobs were created in each state, if things were spread out evenly. But the reality is that most of those jobs were likely created in Texas and North Dakota where fracking is making natural gas and oil drlling more economical. Normally, summer sees the creation of more jobs that at any time of the year to service the vacation industry, but so many people are out of work, and wages haven’t risen in 3 years, so nobody is going on the kinds of vacatons they used to.

I hope this is really happening. I pray often for the conversion of the Muslim world, that they turn their hearts from hate and fear to Christ, who epitomizes love and joy.
I read somewhere that Muslims don’t understand mercy as Christians do, because they have no concept of a savior. Their “eye for an eye” philosophy is in their law, and they are not taught otherwise. For these converts, that has been replaced by love and forgiveness. God bless them, and those others that follow them.

A team of climatologists, archaeologists and geophysicists has now mapped the area using new data from oil companies – and revealed the full extent of a ‘lost land’ once roamed by mammoths.
Bet that hurt.
But I don’t understand why gynecologists are…….oh wait, nevermind.

I guess free speech isn’t really free and definitely not a level playing ground.
HEADLINE: Judge says man can’t hand out Bibles at Twin Cities Pride fest
A Wisconsin man who wants to hand out Bibles at the 40th Annual Twin Cities Pride festival in Loring Park this month will have to confine himself to a booth just outside of the event.Chief U.S. District Judge Michael Davis issued a 41-page order Monday denying Brian Johnson’s request for an injunction that would force the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board to allow him unfettered access to the festival grounds, reasoning that his constitutional challenge was unlikely to succeed.
So a man want to rent a booth at a public festival on public property and give away Bibles for free, exercising his first amendment right to free speech and the free practice of his faith and a judge says no. The occu-poopers scream and shout and make a foul nuisance of themselves for months on end on private property and are protected from eviction/ejection by the owners of that property. There are some really wissed up judges out there.

Will Louisiana taxpayer dollars be used to fund Muslim schools?
Rep. Valarie Hodges, a Republican who represents East Baton Rouge and Livingston, now says she wishes she hadn’t voted for the Jindal voucher bill.
“I actually support funding for teaching the fundamentals of America’s Founding Fathers’ religion, which is Christianity, in public schools or private schools,” Hodges told the Livingston Parish News.
Philosophically, I don’t have a problem with the idea of vouchers for education. But these folks have painted themselves into a constitutional corner with their implementation. It should be interesting to see what they do to wiggle out of their new law.

islime is fundamentally incompatible with freedom, private property, and the American way of life. By its very nature it is oppressive, and should not be tolerated in this country. There are numerous examples of the gross intolerance of islime, yet they are the first to scream that we be tolerant. If the norm were different or to phrase it a little differently, if the reality that is was actually what they claim (tolerance, and other such bs) they want I might have a different opinion. As it is, reality reveals that islime is the most intolerant belief system on the planet and is the root of most of the murder, terror and oppression today.

I had my tonsils removed just before I went to college/turned 19. It was good riddance to bad rubbish as they say. I had been prone to tonsillitis infections since I was 15. For a while I was getting hauled to the doctor every 2-3 weeks for another penicillin shot and prescription. I got to be a real pro with the shots – the trick is to tighten the other gluteus maximus and put all the tension into that one, while keeping the one with the pointy thing stuck in it as relaxed as possible. It keeps the soreness down.
One time, I lost 15 pounds because I lost the ability to swallow. It hurt too much. A trip to the ER brought forth a muffled scream, which scared my mother because I hadn’t been able to make so much as a peep for days. It abcessed and I was back in the ER a few weeks later – this time I lost 20 pounds. My dad came with me and when the throat culture was taken and I screamed again, he jumped by my mom told him it was no big deal. If looks could kill…
When I told my father I might lose my full-ride scholarship if I was sick all the time, he relented and the surgery was scheduled. I was referred to an ENT specialist, who took one look at my throat and called his nurse over to look for herself. “This is the perfect example of tonsils that have been let go too long,” he told her. The description he gave me reminded me of a lunar surface shot. We scheduled the surgery, and two days before another infection set in. Mom rushed me to the ENT, who had a visiting intern. “Come here, you’ve got to see this!” he told the intern, who took an interested look into my throat. Dang, if I’d only known, I would have sold tickets. The doc gave the shot and pills, and told me to sneak them into the hospital and take them up until the morning of the surgery without letting the nurses know, or they’d charge me for them.
After the surgery, I was told mine were the largest he’d ever removed. No wonder I was sick all the time. I was expected to talk later that day. It was five days, and I only forced a whisper because I was told if I wasn’t talking that I’d have to go back to the doctor. I really, really, really didn’t want that, so I went down that morning and painfully forced out a “Good morning” that barely used any sound. Mom just smiled and said okay, we won’t go.
And the pain killer they gave me did numbers on my head. I wasn’t even taking the whole dosage – not even half – and one night I went downstairs and woke my mother up to sit up with me. I was sure that if I went to sleep I was never going to wake up. I don’t know how she knew, since I wasn’t speaking yet, but when I tapped her on the arm, she just asked if I wanted her to sit up with me and I nodded. My mother wasn’t terribly loving or understanding, but that night all she did was sit up and read her book while I read mine for an hour or so, and then we went to bed, and that was all I needed.
So, yeah, I’m glad the tonsils are gone.
And for years, my family would play “Tonsils” from the Bill Cosby “Wonderfulness” album and think of me.

My son, Headcrusher, had ear and tonsil infections for most of his early childhood, they offending glands were removed when he was 7 or so and there have been few infections since then. Most of my siblings still have theirs. My 2 little sisters have had the appendix removed as has my father, mine is still intact.

Good morning Hamsters. Unexpected but welcome 71 at 6 am, though that changed fast enough an hour later. Not much of a breeze floating by and 84 on the front porch.

Friends in St. Paul sent that video to us about 6 weeks ago. We sent it on to kin and friends. Of particular interest is that the priest is from St. Thomas More Parish. Good for him. -

Just in time to remind up of the last time we got scrwed by a Republican nominated SCOTUS justice.
If one wanted to craft a strategy to make the home-mortgage market even less stable, increase already-unsustainable public debt, and erode private property rights even further than we have already seen, it would be hard to top a new idea from California, of all places. Two cities have fashioned a plan to use eminent domain not to seize real estate, but to seize the mortgages on them. Call this … Kelo meets Hugo Chavez:
Last chance Mofos. Last chance.

Tonsils out at 3yrs.
Don’t know anything about adenoids, so I suppose they’re still in there somewhere.
The change in the 70’s or 80’s to not routinely yank out the tonsils is by far the dumbest change in medicine I have ever seen….I have seen way too much unnecessary suffering in youngsters since.
Yank ’em, dammit. -

Part of Handsome Son’s educational/comprehension issues stem from retained fluid in his ears due to extremely large adenoids. The insurance didn’t want to pay for the surgery, and so the doctors put it off until he was seven. Heck, I had to literally hold one doctor to a wall and ask where to go for help because all he said was that the insurance company didn’t want to spend the money to put in the tubes he needed. I never knew that the adenoids were a problem until the doctor we saw around age seven. Handsome got his last set of tubes and they removed his adenoids. That allowed his ears to drain the fluid so he could hear properly.
And he’s as healthy as a horse, so I don’t think the removal damaged him much. If we’d known this was a possibility, we’d have asked for it at a much earlier age.

I went to see “Magic Mike” last night. It’s way overhyped. I mean, after the first 20 naked butt shots, the novelty wears off. I had the same reaction to “A Chorus Line”. When the goal of the movie is to display the human body – of which anatomy I am already familiar – just to get the shock value, it gets old.
At least “Mike” had something of a plot, but not much.

ShannonSweet baby granddaughter’s parents just bought a house and their mortgage rate is less than 3%, this with virtually no credit history and although they are 30, neither had a “real” job- she waitressed and he tended bar, until a couple years ago. Their payment including interest and insurance is less than what they were paying renting a little townhouse.

Woo hoo! These Obie Summers of Recovery are off da hook!
More workers joined the federal government’s disability program in June than got new jobs, according to two new government reports, a clear indicator of how bleak the nation’s jobs picture is after three full years of economic recovery.
The economy created just 80,000 jobs in June, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday. But that same month, 85,000 workers left the workforce entirely to enroll in the Social Security Disability Insurance program, according to the Social Security Administration.
The disability ranks have outpaced job growth throughout President Obama’s economic recovery. While the economy has created 2.6 million jobs since June 2009, fully 3.1 million workers signed up for disability benefits.

The unemployment level has been above 8% for 41 consecutive months. To put that in perspective, in the previous 60 years, the unemployment rate topped 8% in a total of only 39 months.

I remember being in the hospital as a kid to have my tonsils out, but no memories of any maladies that caused it to be done. No ear aches or infections that I can recall. But seems there must have been something that would cause my parents to do it. Probably just poor memory on my part.

What is up with the coinage of the realm? Trying to figure out if one of the 57 state’s quarters are tokens or pesos is annoying enough. The nickels have buffalo heads or pine trees now. Pennies have shields. Then there variations of a dollar coin. I think one or two are still around. I wonder how much the design changes and minting changes cost.

It is true that muslims have no concept in the Catholic sense of redemption. While Muslims do believe in original sin, they also believe that God has absolved them of original sin and has indicated this by casting a rock down from heaven.
This rock is enshrined in the Kabaa, most likely obtained from Wabha Meteor crater outside Taif.
They also believe in a Mahdi or redeemer who will rid the world of wrongdoing, injustice and tyranny. I have often heard Jesus Christ referred to in this role by Muslims. As in most eschatology movements, many cults have formed around the Mahdi with the attendant bloodshed.None of this disputes your hope that Muslims will turn to Catholicism, but provides some background. I’m all for religion as long as it doesn’t become a government.

The changes were supposed to excite numismatists and have them take coins out of circulation and put in collections. Another one of those ideas to raise revenue.
It’s worked in some cases, like Presidents and states, but not so much in others like the national parks. -

Hmmmm …………………………………
Romney and Rice?
Could pick up black and women votes, not that Republicans care about race or gender …….. 😉Who’s the woman? It could be Kelly Ayotte or New Mexico governor Susana Martinez. But as much as I like both of them, I suspect Mitt Romney will see them as risky picks, lacking sufficient high-level government experience to unequivocally answer the question of whether they’d be qualified to take over. No, the woman Ann Romney likely has in mind is Condoleezza Rice, the former secretary of state.

I believe that basal metabolism measurements of that era were connected to assessment of thyroid function. Thankfully, modern studies of thyroid hormone levels (T-3 and T-4) replaced that contraption and concept long ago. Still learning more about thyroid function every day.

Republicans appear to be teeing up Ken Salazar next for contempt.
House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Doc Hastings (R-Wash.), in a letter to Interior Secretary Ken Salazar on Friday, says he’s providing a “final opportunity” to establish a schedule for interviews with Interior officials to occur the week of July 16.

Speaking on CNN’s “Starting Point” with Soledad O’Brien, Gingrey [Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-Ga.)] said the president was all style and no substance, as evidenced by his “toothy smile.”
“You know, the president can put all kind of spin on it,” Gingrey said. “He’s got a nice swagger, a toothy smile, shows lots of gum. But what the American people want now is a little bit more gumption, a little less gum.”Looks like cause for impeachment to me. 😉

Bureaucrats beyond oversight. Yeah, that’s what we need running our government.
At every turn, this administration has the appearance of a criminal enterprise.
Nixon and his hoods were a bunch of bumbling fools compared to these guys. -
