Repent - for the end of the world is nigh -
After all, Al Gore said so....
You know how it stinks when you don't smoke and you go into a room with a smoker?
And it stinks up the furniture and the walls, the drapes and even the phones?
How much are we going to have to pay for cleaning, painting, wallpapering, the office and the White House?
Yuck.
Lying and Cheating to Pass Obamacare
MAYO CLINIC REVISES CPR PROCEDURES FOR ADULTS - THIS ONE IS EASY TO LEARN
Ever hear the term "Molon Labe"? Here is its origin.
“Molon Labe: A Response to Tyranny”
“Go and tell the Spartans, stranger passing by,
That here, obedient to their laws, we lie.
In the 5th century BC, mankind was still living the way he had been since the dawn of history. Existing in either scattered tribal villages or in kingdoms and empires ruled by god-kings. All except for one rocky corner of the Mediterranean world where a new idea had taken root: the concept of free citizens who owed allegiance to their nation and not a king. They were imperfect, true; women’s rights were, well, a non-concept and although racism was largely unknown, equal-opportunity slavery was widespread. Still and all, though, they enjoyed a measure of freedom unknown in the stagnant empires of the Nile, Yangtze, Indus, and Tigris-Euphrates river valleys. They were not subjects, they were the world’s prototypical citizens. Unfortunately, just across the Aegean Sea the largest empire in the known world was looking Westward with greedy eyes. When word reached them that Emperor Xerxes of Persia was crossing the Dardanelles with an army of as many as 250,000 men, prospects for their continued freedom looked grim indeed.
It would take time for the scattered city-states to raise their armies of citizen-soldiers, so those that could sent what contingents were available to serve in a ‘Multinational Field Force’ commanded by one of the two elected kings of Sparta, Leonidas. With its backbone provided by Leonidas’ bodyguard of 300 Spartan soldiers, the force numbered some 4,000. Leonidas positioned this group at the ‘Hot Gates’; Thermopylae, a narrow place on the coast road from the north, to hold back the Persian advance and buy time for the rest of the city-states to issue the call to arms. Manning a hastily-constructed wall across the narrow strip between mountains and sea, it was not long before the Greeks faced the massive Persian host assembled on the thin strip of coast ahead of them. When the defenders were not impressed into surrender by the sight of his army, Xerxes sent forth a herald offering simple terms “Lay down your weapons, and you will be allowed to live.” Leonidas responded with the only answer a free citizen can give to that question:
“Molon Labe”; ancient Greek for “Come and get them”.
To the brave men in that narrow pass so long ago, freedom was more important than anything; even their lives. May we ever remember that fact should we be issued the same degrading terms.

Former White House Sppechwriter Suggests BLOODLESS Military Coup Could Oust Obama
Just bringing you the news Newsweek backed down on.
Obama kills 23 thousand space related jobs in Florida AND
slashes jobs at Tyndall Air Force Base related to the F-15. The F-22 is known to have great problems, including problems with parts. The F-15 is reliable, parts are available, pilots and pilots all over the world are well-trained and available to fly them.
And this is what they cut. Thank you Obama and Allen Boyd, our Representative who deserves (well, both deserve) to be on the unemployment lines very, very soon.
How high do they have to shove their heads where the sun doesn't shine to make decisions? It has to be very quiet in there so they have plenty of time to meditate on the questions.
And you want healthcare reform? If it's good enough for the Premier of Canada, it's good enough for us, isn't it?
(Read WP posts from William Teach) | (Read MT posts from William Teach)
Remember Danny Williams? He's the Newfoundland and Labrador Premier who decided that the Canadian socialized health care system just wouldn't cut it for his health. Why?
In an interview with The Canadian Press, Williams said he went to Miami to have a "minimally invasive" surgery for an ailment first detected nearly a year ago, based on the advice of his doctors.
"This was my heart, my choice and my health," Williams said late Monday from his condominium in Sarasota, Fla.
"I wanted to get in, get out fast, get back to work in a short period of time," the premier said.
Sounds like a better decision, eh? Of course, he has to say nice things about how great! the Canadian system is, but, when push came to shove, which system did he opt for? The one which would have put him in a long line and broken bones, the one which uses older methods, or the one which could take care of him quickly, cleanly, and with the latest in techniques? Exactly.

THE DANGERS OF FLUORIDE - IN YOUR TOOTHEPASTE, AT YOUR DENTIST, IN YOUR FOOD, IN YOUR WATER...
A decade ago, a few of us got together, created an extensive file and presented it to the Bay County, FL County Commissioners. They practically wet their pants laughing at us and brushing it off.
Since then, the information on this continues to mounts. I am sending this link to Florida Reps. Jimmy Patronis and Marti Coley, to see what they have to say about this.
We PAY for the pleasure of fluoride in our municipal water supply.

DIY anti-age spot cream
I lived in the desert for many years and drove a truck without air conditioning (yes - believe it or not). As a result from the desert to Florida, I drove with my left window open, so I have more age or sun damage to my left side than the right. You know, sun shining on my face and on my arm, hung out the window.
Last summer, a faint brown spot appeared by the corner of my left eye. It got bigger and is sliding like a mud spot down my face. It is annoying and unsightly, so I need to fade it. Then I saw this. I think I'll try it. Like I said, can't hurt.
Anti-Age Spot Cream
This recipe is for us older people that are starting to develop age spots, or for people that just like to have their skin to be soft. This recipe is similar to our Honey Skin Cream, only it is geared more towards helping to keep our skin new and aiding blood flow to make our skin more healthy.
Enough talking- here’s the recipe.
Equipment needed
See “Soothing Honey Skin Cream” Recipe for equipment needed
Ingredients
1. 1/4 cup Dandelion (dried leaves and roots) very nourishing, neutralizes uric acid
2. 1/4 cup ginseng (dried root) stimulates red blood cells
3. 1/4 cup Sarsaparilla (dried root) very cleansing
4. 1/4 cup Chaparral (dried leaves and stems) absorbs and cleanses tissue walls
5. 1/4 cup Prickly Ash (dried bark) aids circulation and helps heal skin tissue
6. 1/2 cup Vitamin E Oil – Substitute this oil in lieu of wheat germ oil
7. 1/4 cup lanolin – you should be able to find at Walmart or your local pharmacy or at you local health food store.
Directions:
Combine herbs in clean bowl, pot or cup. Pour 1/2 cup boiling water over herbs. Let steep for 10 minutes. Strain through tea strainer, collecting liquid in clean bowl. Allow to cool and discard herbs. Melt beeswax and lanolin in heatproof glass set in simmering water. (Have a pan of water on the stove and set the glass holding the beeswax and lanolin into the simmering water. Don’t pour it in, this is a poor man’s double boiler). Add wheat germ to the beeswax and lanolin and stir. Add herbal infusion by teaspoonful and stir until well blended. Remove the glass from the water. Add honey to the cream and carefully stir until well blended. Let cream cool completely.
Stir cream thoroughly and transfer it to a clean container with tight fitting lids. (Baby food jars work well). This mixture will last up to 3 months.

Got this from Grassfire just a minute ago on Obamacare - watch the snake in the grass.
From the Desk of:
Steve Elliott, Grassfire Nation
The coming health care summit will be nothing more
than six-hours of political theatre leading up to
reconciliation, and a ramming of ObamaCare down our
throats. The time is now to take action. --Steve
M.,
In a bit of irony, President Obama kicked off his socialized
health care overhaul on television, and now it appears he
will finish it on television - during his health care summit
tomorrow.
But make no mistake. This has nothing to do with honest health
care reform. This is Obama's "dog-and-pony" show for the
cameras, a not-so-carefully disguised ruse to "show"
uninformed Americans that Republicans are the real problem
in Obama's health care takeover bid.
And while Obama is smiling in front of the cameras, looming
in the shadows, Democrats are finalizing reconciliation
plans to force Americans into accepting socialized health
care...
To them, this is nothing but a high-stakes scheme, a political
game where the American people will be the losers.
M., I'm tired of losing...
As an American who loves his country, I'm sickened by lies,
the manipulation, and the intimidation of this Administration
and Congress.
It angers me when I read on Obama's website that he's "putting
Americans in control of health care"...
Since when?
Americans have been ignored and told to shut-up throughout the
ObamaCare debate, and now, Obama and his cohorts are counting
on the efforts of the radical group MoveOn.org and progressive
organizations like Health Care for America (HCAN), and Service
Employees International Union (SEIU) to arm-twist political
support for ObamaCare.
Their "One Million Voices for Healthcare Reform: A Virtual
March on Washington," includes calls, faxes, Tweets, Facebook
and more -- all with one purpose in mind - silence the true
voice of the people!
We must not allow that to happen.
M., I'm calling on you to take a final, impassioned
stand with me by scheduling your personalized faxes for
immediate delivery!
Click here to schedule your faxes now:
http://www.grassfire.net/r.asp?U=25468&CID=122&RID=23232901
Many on the team have already responded to my earlier call to
action, and I'm pleased to report that as this radical virtual
march to silence your voice is unfolding, thousands of faxes
are pouring into Senate offices throughout Capitol Hill from
citizens who refuse to be silenced during this critical time!
Grassfire Nation is countering their actions, but we need a
second wave, and I'm counting on you to take action by
clicking here right now.

My staff has made it easy for you to download both fax numbers
and letters to easily print off and send on your own if you wish.
As I mentioned earlier, these next several days are critical,
and it is imperative that we not allow our voices to be silenced!

Fried Chicken! I love it. But I never could make it.
So when this came in on Paula's newsletter, I thought maybe someone else has a problem cooking it, too. I guess I'm still a Yankee! Some things really are genetic.
This is the ultimate Southern entree. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
Paula Deen House Seasoning
2 1/2 lb chicken, cut into pieces
2 cup self-rising flour
1 cup hot red pepper sauce
3 eggs
Directions
Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a deep pot. Do not fill the pot more than 1/2 full with oil.
In a medium size bowl, beat the eggs. Add enough hot sauce so the egg mixture is bright orange (about 1 cup). Season the chicken with the House Seasoning. Dip the seasoned chicken in the egg, and then coat well in the flour. Place the chicken in the preheated oil and fry the chicken in the oil until brown and crisp. Dark meat takes longer than white meat. Approximate cooking time is 13 to 14 minutes for dark meat and 8 to 10 minutes for white meat.
Recipe courtesy Paula Deen

Would you eat at the Road Kill?
http://substantialsandwich.posterous.com/mcleod-mt-road-kill-cafe
How I came across this foodie's blog, I don't know, but there it was. My favorite watering hole in McCleod, MT. It's a welcome pit stop when you're thirsty from exploring the Boulder River taking pictures. I complained bitterly this last trip in September about not finding a moose. Whine, whine, whine. My friend, a Montana native and I, had exhausted all known moose habitats within a 300-mile radius and found not one. No track, no sign, no nothing. Montana is devoid of moose, I had decided, but then, owner Pam directed me into the game room and there was my moose on the wall!
Not quite what I wanted to take home, but a funny memory remembered with a chuckle and a big smile.
I'm not a beer drinker, but in the heat of the day, those tall glasses of brew taste so good. I can only manage half a glass. After that I fall off the stool. Good thing my friend drives. If I could down two of them, I would have to take a siesta on the porch. Unconscious. Hand me a Pepsi chaser!
They don't serve road kill. Really. They don't. But lunch is served and will fill you up and put you in good humor.
It's a funny name for a funny, funky little roadhouse that serves fisherman, campers, tourists,
kayakers, hunters, cowboys, locals (there may be 20 in McCleod), and an occasional movie star.
When you're coming or going into Boulder River country, stop by and say I said "Hi"!
Have lunch. Watch the world stand still on the porch - if you're lucky you might see a couple of vehicles go by to remind you you haven't gone to heaven. Pet the dogs. Meet some really nice folks. Life is good at the Road Kill.
Judicial corruption in Florida to the Supreme Court
This is what happens when you don't elect judges who believe in a fully informed jury, when you elect politicians who are "repeat" offenders and are re-elected term after term.
Here is racketeering at its finest.
It's up to us to do the research and elect the finest, most honorable judicial candidates, political candidates with proven track records.

Here's the cooking challenge (or maybe, the non-cooking challenge for today)!
How long does it take for store bought breads to mold on top of your refrigerator (where I put mine) or on your counter?
Mine takes months and maybe more.
That tells me there is so many preservatives that these products are dangerous for you to eat.
I know, I know. Hotdogs and burgers are traditional in everyone's families.
So how about making your own?
You can substitute honey for the sugar. They won't be as sweet.
When I try these, I'll let you know how they came out.

Mort Zuckerman's report on the Obama Presidency in US News and World Report
Subject: Article in U.S. News & World Report
An article by Mort Zuckerman of U. S. News and World Report
In a January 20, 2010 editorial, the Editor in Chief of U.S. News & World Report, Mortimer Zuckerman, had this to say: Obamas ability to connect with voters is what launched him. But what has surprised me is how he has failed to connect with the voters since he’s been in office.
He's had so much overexposure. He was doing five Sunday shows. How many conferences? And now
people stop listening to him He's lost his audience.He has not rallied public opinion. He has plunged in the polls more than any other public figure since we’ve been using polls.
He's done everything wrong. Well, not everything, but the major things I dont consider it a triumph. I consider it a disaster. And thats what his friends are saying about him.
As the boy president occupied the White House on January 20, 2009 it was predictable that his presidency would last a year, at most, because the things he promised and the things he stood for were so uniquely un-American.Looking back over his year in office, any reasonably precocious fourth grader could make a cogent argument in opposition to nearly everything he's done. In fact, his policies have been so extreme and so far outside the mainstream that he was destined to achieve the most spectacular fall from grace of any American president in history.
It was easy to see him serving out the final three years of his term as a virtual exile in the White House afraid to venture out among any but the most rabid partisans.
Seeing his most ambitious initiative, healthcare reform, die in the flames of the Massachusetts Massacre, Obama made a hastily-planned “sortie” to Ohio for yet another Bush-bashing, self-aggrandizing stump speech on job creation. It was vintage Obama full of left wing hyperbole and planted questions from the Kool-Ade drinkers in the hand-picked audience but there were just two things wrong with it: 1) Almost everything he said was either wrong or an outright lie, and 2) He is so overexposed that no one in the television audience really wanted to see him.
Obama Kool-Ade drinkers in the media, and elsewhere, like to describe Obama as a very bright man, a true intellectual (compared to George W. Bush and Sarah Palin, of course). If that is the case, why has he
demonstrated such a great inability to learn from his failures?The strident words and the in-your-face attitude of his Ohio speech were proof that he has totally misread the meaning of the Scott Brown victory in Massachusetts.
Whatever hopes and dreams he had for his time in the White House, whatever grandiose plans he had for transforming the United States from a constitutional republic with a free market economy into a socialist dictatorship with a centrally planned economy, were all lost on Tuesday, January 19, 2010… one day short of a full year in office.Yet, he appears to have learned nothing from the experience. Comedian George Gobel once asked, rhetorically, Did you ever get the feeling that the world was a tuxedo and you were a pair of brown
shoes? In the context of 21st century American politics, and assuming that he has any capacity at all for honest self-examination, Obama must be feeling today very much like a pair of brown shoes at a black tie soiree.
When a politically naïve and totally inexperienced young black man, with a glib tongue and an exceptional ability to read words convincingly from a teleprompter, announced that he was ready to serve as President of the United States, liberals and Democrats saw it as a perfect opportunity to expiate whatever white guilt they may have felt which was apparently considerable among those on the political left.It didn't seem to bother them that, as one pundit has remarked, every time he walks into a room he is the least experienced and the least qualified man in the room.
Nevertheless, his friends in the worldwide socialist movement and the international banking community figured out how to smuggle hundreds of millions of dollars in illegal campaign funds into the country, the black community rallied to his banner, and American liberals and the mainstream media jumped on board the bandwagon. Together, they made it happen for him.
But now, just one year later, Obama appears destined to become the unhappiest man in American politics unhappier than even former Senator John Edwards, who runs a close second, and former president Bill Clinton.
Clinton will be the third unhappiest man because, after capturing the big prize, he frittered away whatever chance he had of ever being compared favorably with Franklin D. Roosevelt as one of the 20th century’s greatest Democratic presidents. Not only was he a politician of unusual skill and insight, he was widely known as a policy wonk among policy wonks and he had the drive and the personal charm to be loved and respected around the world. Unfortunately, he was never able to put the public trust at the top of his priority list.Instead, he surrounded himself with a large cadre of trusted enablers who allowed him to conduct himself as if he were, not the President of the United States, but the class stud on an extended spring break in Acapulco.
Now that he's been out of office for nearly a decade and he's married to the current Secretary of State, he spends his days trying to find something useful to do without calling an undue amount of attention to himself.Having lied so shamelessly to the American people, having perjured himself in a court of law, having turned the Oval Office into a sexual playpen, and having suffered the humiliation of impeachment, he’s smart enough to know that he has little reputation left to protect. So in order to protect whatever legacy remains, he walks a tightrope every day and he has many more years to walk it without falling off.
Former Senator John Edwards is destined to be the second unhappiest man in American politics because he will be known forever as the most thoroughly despised scumbag in the political arena. A trial lawyer, Edwards amassed a $60 million fortune by winning large jury awards against doctors, hospitals, and corporations.
His specialty was cases in which children were born with cerebral palsy, which he blamed on doctors who had waited too long to perform C-sections, a claim that doctors and medical researchers have described as junk science.
Then, like Obama, he decided that his experience in the courtroom, his glib tongue, and his one term in the U.S. Senate qualified him to be President of the United States. He entered the 2004 Democratic
presidential primaries, raising an incredible amount of money for a newcomer to elective office most of it raised illegally by bundlers, in plaintiffs, law firms across the country. He was unsuccessful in his quest for the Democratic nomination but was selected by his Senate colleague, John Kerry, as his running mate.Two years later, in 2006, Edwards met a young blonde film producer, Rielle Hunter, and embarked on a love affair with her. On February 27, 2008, Hunter gave birth to a daughter, for whom Edwards has consistently denied paternity until now Taking into account that all of this was happening while his wife was waging a long battle with breast cancer, Edwards now has the well-deserved reputation of being the sleaziest of the sleazy.
He is so universally despised that, if he is looking for a friend, he might as well resign himself to getting a dog or moving in with O.J. Simpson. Terry Moran, host of ABC's This Week, put it all in perspective. He said, What's interesting to note is that Edwards latest admission (that he is the father of Hunter's child) came while he was in Haiti. As if the people of that sad place didn't have enough problems.
Clearly, the one thing Clinton and Edwards share that places them near the top of our list is their sexual peccadilloes, a shortcoming that Obama does not appear to share with them at least from what we know so far.
What we do know about Obama is that, since his teen years, he has been mentored by, gravitated toward, and surrounded by the most dangerous sort of America-hating socialists, communists, and Marxists… from Frank Marshall Davis and Saul Alinsky to Weather Underground terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, to Rev. Jeremiah Wright, George Soros, and countless radical left college professors.
What destines Obama for the top spot on the list of unhappiest American politicians aside from the failure of his economic recovery program,the failure of his radical cap-and-trade proposal, his failed attempt to give labor bosses unprecedented power to intimidate blue collar workers,and his ill-fated attempt at healthcare reform is the fact that he carries on his shoulders the hopes and aspirations of every black child in America.It is unfortunate that, because he is so far outside the American mainstream, and because he carries so much hatred in his heart for the country he seeks to lead, his failures will be viewed by generations of black children, not as the failure of a black socialist attempting to bring down a constitutional republic, but simply as the failure of a black man.
A man can fail in the eyes of his countrymen and still be dearly loved by those closest to him. But in Obama’s case, his wife and his two daughters will be there to suffer every agonizing step of his fall along with him. And for the rest of his life, each time he looks into their eyes,and into the eyes of black people everywhere, he will see the crushing disappointment that his ill-fated attempt at national transformation has caused them.
He will be the country's unhappiest man, living the rest of his life knowing that his daughters know that the whole world sees him as a failure.He is simply the wrong man, in the wrong job, in the wrong country, at the wrong time in history.

Ever hear Kurt Elling?
I found a Coltrane cut of "Say It", and hope you like that, too (can't believe you wouldn't).
The version I heard was full of violins and very, very sweet.
Here are the lyrics so you can sing along with Coltrane.
SAY IT (OVER AND OVER AGAIN)
From the film "Buck Benny Rides Again" (1940)
(Frank Loesser / Jimmy McHugh)
Say it over and over again,
over and over again,
Never stop saying you're mine.
Say it, ever and ever so sweet,
ever and ever so sweet
Just like an old valentine.
When you say I love you,
the same old I love you,
They whisper in stories and plays,
You can change I love you,
the same old I love you,
To oh such a heavenly phrase.
So say it softly and gently and then,
over and over again,
Never stop saying you're mine.

Glenn Beck on Executive Orders. Lies, ignorance, deception
Glenn's changing. And not for the better. You're going to find that this boy is not all you thought he was.
Be VERY careful.
China buying more Saudi oil than USA
And again, people - the US has a vast reserve enough for hundreds of years in middle America. Time to start drilling and let China have Saudi's oil.
American oil for Americans!
