    G’Morning All
    On September 17, 1787, the delegates to the Constitutional Convention met for the last time to sign the document they had created. We encourage all Americans to observe this important day in our nation’s history by attending local events in your area. Celebrate Constitution Day through activities, learning, parades and demonstrations of our Love for the United State of America and the Blessings of Freedom Our Founding Fathers secured for us.
    A few interesting facts:
    “The U.S. Constitution has 4,400 words. It is the oldest and shortest written constitution of any major government in the world.”
    “Of the spelling errors in the Constitution, ‘Pensylvania’ above the signers’ names is probably the most glaring.”
    “The oldest person to sign the Constitution was Benjamin Franklin (81). The youngest was Jonathan Dayton of New Jersey (26).”
    “A proclamation by President George Washington and a congressional resolution established the first national Thanksgiving Day on Nov. 26, 1789. The reason for the holiday was to give ‘thanks’ for the new Constitution.”
    “In November of 1788, the Congress of the Confederation adjourned and left the United States without a central government until April 1789. That is when the first Congress under the new Constitution convened with its first quorum.”
    “Although Benjamin Franklin’s mind remained active, his body was deteriorating. He was in constant pain because of gout and having a stone in his bladder and he could barely walk. He would enter the convention hall in a sedan chair carried by four prisoners from the Walnut Street jail in Philadelphia.”
    “The word ‘democracy’ does not appear once in the Constitution.”
    “As evidence of its continued flexibility, the Constitution has only been changed 17 times since 1791!”
    The delegates. How many of them do you recognize?
    Go here to find out about the founding fathers of the document that established our Republic.

    But but but, it’s not about foreign policy, it’s that film thing that caused it.

    Israeli Foreign Ministry: U.S. ignored Arab radicalization
    Foreign Ministry official on signs of ‘radicalization’ in Arab world: ‘We knew what was happening, but the Americans preferred to find excuses.’
    By Barak Ravid and Jonathan Lis
    For months before the most recent attacks on U.S. embassies in North African states, Foreign Ministry and U.S. State Department officials had been arguing over developments in these countries. Senior figures in Jerusalem claimed that Washington was burying its head in the sand and ignoring the increasing radicalization in states such as Tunisia and Egypt.

    The Obama administration, which since the beginning of the Arab Spring has aided, directly or indirectly, the forces that brought down the dictatorial regimes in Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen and Lybia, now finds itself in a position of helplessness. The attack on the consulate in Benghazi, in which the U.S. ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, was killed, and the storming of the U.S. embassies in Tunis, Sanaa and Cairo, proved the great hostility to the United States and the unwillingness of these country’s new leaders to challenge domestic public opinion.

    One of the most recent such meetings took place a week ago, during a visit to Jerusalem by the acting Assistant Secretary of State for Near East Affairs, A. Elizabeth Jones.
    “The Americans were constantly trying to supply explanations and excuses for events in the post-revolution Arab states, and simply ignored the problems,” one senior Israeli official said, adding, “In practice the administration’s ability to affect events in the Arab world has decreased immensely.”

    Senior Foreign Ministry officials said the latest riots at the U.S. embassy in Cairo, and the weak condemnation of President Mohammad Morsi, demonstrated that despite its massive military and economic aid to Egypt the United States had failed to achieve any real influence over the Muslim Brotherhood. “Only now, after what happened to their embassies, the Americans are beginning to understand the situation,” the senior official concluded, “to hear the president of the United States declared that Egypt isn’t an ally, but also isn’t the enemy – that’s a real earthquake,” he said.

    Remember this from from the Libs a year ago?

    Wall Street rallies could be left’s Tea Party
    Both movements born from frustration over economy, Wall Street
    By Michael O’Brien
    msnbc.com
    updated 10/4/2011 4:07:55 PM ET
    WASHINGTON — Born on the streets of New York, growing protests aimed at the heart of capitalism have sparked hope among liberals that they’re witnessing the birth of a movement to counter the conservative Tea Party.
    The pieces are all there: ordinary citizens banding together for a cause; signs and protests announcing their grievances. Could the nation be witnessing the creation of a new political uprising?

    Or this?

    “OWS” was the video-conferenced toast of this week’s “Take Back the American Dream” conference, embraced as the vanguard of Van Jones’ new “Rebuild the Dream” initiative. Micah Sifry of TechPresident.org measured the movement’s growth through “likes” on Facebook and found 232,000 allies, with growth on track to double every three days. Press coverage turned from mockery to admiration. And mainstream groups, including labor unions, MoveOn.org, and New York’s highly effective Working Families Party headed down to Wall Street (which, ironically, is no longer the center of global finance, as the biggest firms have moved uptown) to lend the movement their leaders, spokespeople, and policy agendas

    .
    Or this?

    From CNN’s Carol Costello:
    Talk Back: Is Occupy Wall Street the dawn of a liberal Tea Party?

    Or this?

    Is Occupy Wall Street a liberal tea party?
    Tribune Washington Bureau
    WASHINGTON — As protests aimed at shaming Wall Street continued near New York’s financial heart, they raised a tantalizing prospect for beleaguered liberals: Their side may, unexpectedly, be witnessing the redefinition of a coming election year that was supposed to be all about an “enthusiasm gap” for Democrats against charged-up Republicans.
    President Barack Obama, asked at a White House press conference last week whether the Occupy Wall Street movement had potential as a tea party for the left, ducked that question. But his vice president, characteristically, didn’t mince words, and drew a direct connection between the two ideologically disparate protests.
    The new movement, which has spread from Manhattan to other cities, has “a lot in common with the tea party,” Vice President Joe Biden said, speaking at a forum sponsored by the Atlantic magazine. Both, he said, grew out of a profound sense that the political system was badly out of whack. “We were bailing out the big guys” in the financial community, he said, while failing to fix the problems of hard-pressed, ordinary Americans.

    And even from “The Man” himself:

    Obama Praises Wall Street Protesters, Calls TEA Party Extreme
    Los Angeles Times: Obama: ‘Occupy Wall Street’ Protests Show Americans’ Frustration
    President Obama said Thursday that the Occupy Wall Street protests show a “broad-based frustration” among Americans about how the U.S. financial system works.
    Speaking at an East Room news conference, Obama said he has monitored the movement, which has spread to dozens of cities nationwide.
    “I think it expresses the frustrations the American people feel, that we had the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression, huge collateral damage all throughout the country … and yet you’re still seeing some of the same folks who acted irresponsibly trying to fight efforts to crack down on the abusive practices that got us into this in the first place,” he said.

    So what are they doing now?

    1 year on, Occupy is in disarray
    By MEGHAN BARR
    Associated Press
    NEW YORK (AP) — Occupy Wall Street began to disintegrate in rapid fashion last winter, when the weekly meetings in New York City devolved into a spectacle of fistfights and vicious arguments.
    Punches were thrown and objects were hurled at moderators’ heads. Protesters accused each other of being patriarchal and racist and domineering. Nobody could agree on anything and nobody was in charge. The moderators went on strike and refused to show up, followed in quick succession by the people who kept meeting minutes. And then the meetings stopped altogether.
    In the city where the movement was born, Occupy was falling apart.
    “We weren’t talking about real things at that point,” says Pete Dutro, a tattoo artist who used to manage Occupy’s finances but became disillusioned by the infighting and walked away months ago. “We were talking about each other.”

    Oh those silly Mormons

    The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints confirmed Tuesday afternoon that someone improperly, posthumously baptized the late mother of President Obama into the Mormon faith.
    Last June 4 — the day after then-Sen. Obama secured enough delegates to win the Democratic presidential nominee — someone had the president’s mother Stanley Ann Dunham, who died in 1995 of cancer, baptized.

    Not to worry, I’ve already fixed it for them. The de-baptism ritual is simple and easy, involving the recitation of a fairy tale over the soothing sounds of the ceremonial hair dryer.

    He has a point.

    Earlier this week Bill Maher explored conservative teenaged pundits, comparing them to Republican adults noting that 14 year olds cannot mimic the Rachel Maddow show, but can do the likes of Bill O’Reilly and Rush Limbaugh just fine.
    “When 14-year-old boys sound exactly like you do and can produce radio shows and books and speeches that sound exactly like yours, maybe you should rethink the [nasty word] that comes out of your mouth.”

    I just watched a clip of Bashir’s comments about Palin. I remember, yet once more, why I avoid watching him. Every now and then, I forget just how bad he really is.
    It’s kind of like forgetting how deep that mudhole actually is, before driving the car into it.
    It’s funny watching him, because most Americans hear a British accent and tend to attribute intelligence or sophistication to it. Bashir is a reminder that accents have nothing to do with intellect or common sense.

    Hammy’s Grammy is starting to spin up.
    Although, I agree with Hammy’s comments.
    There are atheists who are comfortable with who they are and can get along with others. They truly “live and let live”. I’ve known several of those. Great people. Then there are those who think that by making fun of those of us with a faith life they can feel superior or through shame bring “those religious nuts” to their atheistic idea of reality. They’re just jerks.
    I’ve always told my kids to beware of those who have to make themselves feel bigger by cutting others off at the knees in order to bring them to their level. Those people tend to be dangerous, either physically, morally, spiritually, or emotionally.

    How does that make you feel, Mr./Mrs. Taxpayer?

    Abby Goodnough of The New York Times is reporting as the California state government is setting up its ObamaCare exchange, the exchange has hired a PR firm (with federal government money).
    “Realizing that much of the battle will be in the public relations realm, the exchange has poured significant resources into a detailed marketing plan — developed not by state health bureaucrats but by the global marketing powerhouse Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide, which has an initial $900,000 contract with the exchange,” she wrote. Ogilvy’s plan is to tap major network TV shows like “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Modern Family” to sell Americans on the health care law:
    Hollywood, an industry whose major players have been supportive of President Obama and his agenda, will be tapped. Plans are being discussed to pitch a reality television show about “the trials and tribulations of families living without medical coverage,” according to the Ogilvy plan. The exchange will also seek to have prime-time television shows, like “Modern Family,” “Grey’s Anatomy” and Univision telenovelas, weave the health care law into their plots.
    “I’d like to see 10 of the major TV shows, or telenovelas, have people talking about ‘that health insurance thing,’ ” said Peter V. Lee, the exchange’s executive director. “There are good story lines here.”

    Good morning Hamsters. Mucho rain last night starting around 6 pm and dribbling on to about 9 this morning. Down to 69 at 6 and pleasant in the mist on the way to the barn and back. Now at 70 and quite overcast though nothing of consequence seems to be on the radar in our area. Rain total for the last 4 days is 4.25″. Not a drop on Saturday however. It can stop now. The front pushing all this seems to be stronger than at first thought so we are in for lovely weather this week. Bring that on.

    Sorry Granny, but when someone thinks Maher is the bees knees there’s no other way to respond. He’s pretty much devoid of any redeeming quality. Occasionally there will be some Hollywood moron that makes one or two good movies. Maher doesn’t even have that going for him. His movie resume consists of D.C. Cab, Ratboy, Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death, and Pizza Man. No wonder he always looks constipated. He really sucks at this. It’s like George Carlin skipped the funny part of his career and went straight to the “I need an enema” part.

    REALLY? SERIOUSLY?? (what the heck are these folks smokin?)

    PORTLAND, Ore. – Dr. Verenice Gutierrez, a principal with Oregon’s Portland Public Schools, has become convinced that America’s “white culture” negatively influences educators’ world view and the manner in which they teach their students.
    For instance, last year a teacher in the district presented a lesson that included a reference to peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Gutierrez says that by using sandwiches as an illustration, the teacher was engaged in a very subtle form of racism.

    Ghosting through YouTube looking for some trail video for a hike planned for next month, I come across one that has a version of Northeast Texas Women
    as a soundtrack. Nice sentiment as the hike is a trail in the near northeast corner of the state.
    In the comments is the following exchange:

    is that a Stoney LaRue song?
    No, it was written before he was born by some nobody, recorded by Jerry Jeff Walker….this version is Monte Montgomery….but JJW’s is the best

    Worse news:
    Everybody involved in the exchange and the video is from Texas.
    We’re doomed.

    From Hugh Hewitt:

    Only in the increasingly bizarre world of Manhattan-Beltway elite media is the tale of two speeches at the GOP convention big news as the Middle East slides towards war in no small measure brought about by American weakness. (Here is the short form, btw: Romney advisor Stevens ordered up a speech from very smart guy Pete Wehner. Romney, per usual, decided to write his own, demonstrating again a seriousness that POTUS does not have as well as a talent that totally eludes the president.)
    The polls have already turned in the wake of the atrocity and disasters last week. MSM remains a good ten days behind any real news curve, but the voters are not behind that curve. That’s the story: A failing, flailing president whose designated spokesperson for the weekend had to declare “We are not impotent.”

    The “Alternative Media” is growing much closer to becoming “The Media” as the MSM continues to try more to conform its constituency than to inform.

  41. Hamous Avatar

    Wow.

    Some black clergy see no good presidential choice between a Mormon candidate and one who supports gay marriage, so they are telling their flocks to stay home on Election Day. That’s a worrisome message for the nation’s first African-American president, who can’t afford to lose any voters from his base in a tight race.

    Good for them. I’ve always felt that as soon as they quit just falling into line and voting as a bloc, the politicians on both sides will quit taking them for granted. The Dems assume they’ll always have the black vote (for some unfathomable reason) and the Republicans can then talk with them about their needs without feeling like they’re talking to a brick wall.
    This will give them more of a voice.

    I saw him at the Mucky Duck at the beginning of the year. IIRC. there wasn’t any new material there. I’ve read that his problem with the second album is that he wants to record it on the same type of equipment he did the first one on, and that he’s a bit of a perfectionist. I beleive that last part——he got kinda bugged when the audience started clapping along with Northeast Texas Women. he didn;t mind on some of the other songs, but on that one he asked everybody to stop.

    #59: The simple answer is yes, the only things to consider are getting accurate intel as to where the royal is, promptly rounding up a chopper load of suicide bombers and voila – game over. One ass-showing-royal dead and a major coup for the goat raping pederasts.

    #59 Katfish, I “liked” Michael Yon on FB shortly after I created an account a few years back. He always links to some good articles, but I am always most impressed with his original articles and of course his photography.

    Good article. I would support shutting down any US operations in Afcrapistan ASAP. The Brits can decide whether they want to bring their Party Prince home.

    How does that make you feel, Mr./Mrs. Taxpayer?

    Hollywood has been working their leftist agenda into films and TV shows for years and now we’re gonna pay them?!?

    #61, 62, & 63 – that’s not only the article about the Prince – that’s Yon’s home page – his writing and photos are pretty well endless and LOTS of highly (to me) interesting stuff

    Hambone, WOW is right! I was listening to Joe Pags on “The Weekend” on Sat radio and he was talking about this.

    Not gonna happen. Anyone with the courage of their convictions, the offer’s still open.
    On the other hand, I could support sending the Blind Sheikh to Israel and Johnathan Pollard to Egypt.

    The only way I see it possibly happening is on January 20,2013, the day before Mitt Romney is sworn in as the 45th President.

    Speaking of courage of his convictions, Governor Romney appears to be writing off 47% of the American people.

    In one video segment, Mr. Romney described how his campaign is writing off “47 percent of the people” who will vote for Mr. Obama “no matter what.” He adds that those people “are people who pay no income tax” and says “so our message of low taxes doesn’t connect.”
    Mr. Romney said that “my job is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.”

    I hope for a real good turnout this election, particularly those folks making minimum wage who the governor apparently believes take no “personal responsibility and care for their lives”
    Perhaps we can get it made up as banners to put in WalMart or McDonald’s employee lounges as motivation.

    I guess that Obama writing off the angry, old, white, men vote doesn’t affect quite the same number of voters.

    Depends on why they are angry and who they are angry at.
    Shell games with their pensions and 401Ks ain’t playing well in the retiree’s home.

    Yep, I’d be pissed at TBO, too.

    London: Women fans throwing their underwear at Sir Tom Jones on stage originally started off as a stunt, a new book has claimed.
    Hollywood PR king Jay Bernstein said that he paid girls to toss fake room keys and underwear at Jones in Las Vegas in 1968.

    What I can see is a march on DC if such an intention became known. And who would not be expecting Obammy to pull some low scheme on his way out?

    Listening to “Unchained Melody”. That ranks right up there with Lightfoot’s “If You Could Read My Mind Love”.
