I have no words for how wrong this is.

Over 1,800 of our veterans who went to a Saint Louis, MO VA hospital for dental treatment are at risk for contracting Hepatitis B, C, and/or HIV.

Why?

Because government-run hospitals don't follow proper procedure.

I don't like the little weasel, but I have to agree with Democrat Rep. Russ Carnahan:

"This is absolutely unacceptable... No veteran who has served and risked their life for this great nation should have to worry about their personal safety when receiving much needed healthcare services from a Veterans Administration hospital."

Indeed.

Proof that idiots breed.

Van der Sloot's mother swears that he never killed anyone.

It's her fault, and that of her (late) husband that the psycho Lurch look-alike is such a special snowflake that he's escaped the rap for Holloway. If it weren't for this stupid, blind, retarded socialite spoiling her son, he might have actually grown up into a productive, law-abiding, sane citizen. Instead, he beats and strangles a young woman to death because she asked him something he didn't want to answer.

Wake up and smell the coffee that your son drank over the corpse of his latest victim, you stupid bitch! YOUR SON IS A PSYCHO!

Feeling a bit better...

I'm still really morning (and afternoon, and evening) sick, but it is easing, bit by bit. I'll probably be back up and running on my usual schedule by the end of the month.

That is, assuming Dear Leader doesn't shut down all sources of "new media" with the new toy that Lieberman et. al. are trying to give him.

Sorry...urgh.

I know it's been a while since I posted anything. My university "upgraded" the online class platform we use, which completely FUBARed my classes. I'm still working to get the classes for fall fixed. It took me until Sunday night to get the one I started teaching Monday fixed.

I also put my lectures, handouts, assignment sheets, and other useful stuff together into a textbook for the Composition II class, and am working on a similar one for the Composition I class.

Beyond that...I've been so sick that if I haven't been laying down, I've been throwing up. It should ease within another two to four weeks, but for now, I'm not able to do much of anything.

I'll be back when I can, though.

This does tend to happen...

When an individual citizen takes out credit card after credit card after mortgage after whatever other kind of debt they can think of, their credit rating tends to drop. That, in turn, causes their lender to raise the interest rates, raising their payments on said debt.

Somehow, our current administration's secretary of finance doesn't seem to think that Moody's actually will reduce our national credit rating, regardless of how much we owe. The man who couldn't figure out TurboTax obviously doesn't understand how the credit/debt system works, any more than he does the tax system.

Yeah, that's going to work.

The People's Democratic Republic of California is planning on raising taxes to balance their budget.

What it will more likely accomplish is to drive out the productive citizens and leave the leeches.

I wonder what Islamic donkey heaven looks like?

The headline here was horrible and funny, all at the same time:

Donkey Detonated on Gaza Border.

According to the story, a group of Islamotards loaded a whole lot of dynamite onto a donkey cart, and blew it up at the border. I guess they were trying a low-tech version of a car bomb that didn't work--the only casualty was the donkey.

My husband snarked that the donkey ought to get 72 donkey virgins. I don't know whether that would be donkey heaven though--I think the donkey would prefer endless pasture with clover and alfalfa, and maybe a small family herd to keep it company.

Leave your descriptions in the comments if the idea made you laugh.

Mixed feelings.

I have to admit once again to approing of something that the Obama administration is doing: according to this, he's ordered an upswing in covert ops in the Middle East.

The mixed feelings come from the fact that someone, likely in the White House, leaked the memo to the press, and it was announced to the world, including the people the ops are set up to take out, in the New York Times. And that puts our ops teams in danger.

It still has to be ratified.

Clinton just signed the UN small arms treaty. This treaty intends to take all guns out of the hands of everyone not in the military or law enforcement.

All hope is not yet lost, however: the treaty still has to be ratified by congress. And, given the trends in the nation pushing toward nation-wide "shall-issue" concealed carry laws, and the expansion of the Castle Doctrine laws amongst the states, it might not be ratified.

If the filthy bastards sitting in congress continue in their trend of not listening to the people that hired them, I'll be willing to bet that each and every one of them would be replaced, and every bit of legislation that the creeps have passed limiting our freedom would likely be repealed.

Honestly, I don't want to see this come down to the wire. I hope it's not ratified. I wouldn't want to bet that the resolution wouldn't be preceded by another bloodbath like in the 1860's.

Ten for one.

Seriously, the only way we're going to dissuade the barbarian fucktards advocating the murder of American civilians is to kill ten of theirs for every one of ours attempted.

And focus on the clerics.

I think their cost-benefit analysis is skewed.

Analysts are saying that California's proposed laws targeting child predators for longer prison terms are going to cost "many millions."

I don't think they've really thought this out. How many children's lives would this new legislation save? How many lives in that one state are ruined annually, and what effect would this new legislation have?

In other words, what is the dollar amount that each child's life and emotional/mental health worth?

Apparently, not that much in California.

I've got an idea!

Why don't we ban stupid, nanny-state laws dreamed up by the federal government, instead? If enough people are thrown back onto their own feet, they'll either learn to take care of themselves, or they'll die out.

People simply are too careless with their progeny. My other half and I check the fittings on our son's crib every time we put him in or take him out of it. There's nothing stopping other parents from doing the same.

And if mandatory Medicaid has the same results on quality of care here as it's had elsewhere...

Where will the poor Canadians, Brits, and Mexicans go for surgeries that improve the quality or length of life?

Like this little boy, born with a lymphatic system deformity in the left side of his face. He's coming to the U.S. to get the treatment that will change his life and leave him...normal. Why here? Because Canadian doctors aren't capable of the same quality of care as American doctors, nor are the hospitals capable of an equal quality of care, after socialized medicine being in place for so long.

Key quote: "Doctors in Canada were unable to perform the surgery to remove the growth due to the complexity of the procedure..."

This is where we're headed. But where will we go to get the complex procedures done, once we've sunk to the same level of quality as every other country with socialized medicine?

We need to take our country back.

This country was envisioned and created by our Founding Fathers to be ruled by law, not ruled by an individual or set of individuals. Our Founding Fathers envisioned a nation where the laws would be evenly enforced, and always enforced, creating a system of justice where the poorest was equal to the richest in the eyes of the law.

That vision has been viciously perverted by the dynasties in power in Washington, D.C. And not only has that vision been perverted, but betrayed.

Need proof? Take a look at Arizona: they passed a law recently that basically says the same as national immigration law (which has been ignored by the transnational progressivist nobility), and has the gall to state publicly that they will enforce it. And ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) now says they won't process any illegals turned over to them by Arizona.

Arizona's law specifically forbids Arizona law enforcement from racially profiling to catch criminal aliens (even though upwards of 95% of all criminal aliens in Arizona are Mexican). The new law specifically states that cops can only ask about immigration status if they're interviewing someone who's committed any other crime. Arizona's law targets the criminals themselves less than it does those who enable said criminals to work and live in a place where they're trespassing: those who hire criminal aliens, and those who rent to them.

Yet ICE is refusing to process any criminals Arizona turns over to them caught under this new law.

And one immediate effect is that the criminals that Arizona catches committing other crimes will be released. Like this guy, who raped a woman in Seattle. He was caught and deported back to Mexico nine times. Essentially, ICE is saying that thieves, rapists, murderers, and other criminals who happen to be in this country illegally, won't be processed and deported if they're turned in by Arizona. This is a direct contravention of the Rule of Law.

What this means is that the Rule of Law that protects us from tyrannical rulers has been subverted and betrayed--it no longer applies to a certain class of people who became criminals as soon as they crossed our border. And since it no longer applies to Mexicans, the rest of us are no longer protected by it.

Vote them all out. Fire every individual working for every government bureau. Dismantle all government bureaus not listed in the U.S. Constitution. We need to start from scratch.

I really hate this president...

I do. I hate the smarmy, spoiled little teleprompter-reading post turtle, and I hate everything he stands for. I hate the legislation he's passed, and I hate his Wookie wife that calls her own healthy, beautiful little girls fat.

That said, I cannot blame him and his administration for keeping Congress in the dark, where intelligence reports are concerned. I wouldn't trust them not to do to any president, whether they like him or not, what they did with the intelligence reports President Bush shared with them. Especially not since Dear Leader is about to lose his supermajority in both houses of congress.

This surprises me not at all.

Apparently, North Korea's sinking of a South Korean vessel was more than likely ordered by their mental midget president, to secure the line of succession for his youngest son.

Saving up for my next gun purchase...

It'll be a while, but I think this will be what I'm saving toward. I really like the built-in bipod.

And, when I said it'll be a while, I meant it. We're going to have to rebuild our savings account after self-paying for prenatal care, the delivery (hopefully in December) and the hospital stay.

I hope it's still legal by the time we can afford it.

And this is one reason I carry a gun.

So stupid fucking Chicago politicians can't point one at me without fearing that I'll point one back.

I saw this one coming as soon as I saw the first story.

A WWI memorial set up in the Mojave Desert--a seven-foot cross--has been in the center of a court battle between bed-wetter, crybaby atheists, and normal Americans who love God, their country, and their troops. The bed-wetters wanted the cross removed because they interpreted it as a violation of the first amendment (establishment), and the normal Americans opposed the bed-wetters because it's a war memorial, and removal constitutes a violation of the first amendment (forbidding the free exercise of religion).

The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the normal Americans--and the cross was promptly stolen.

Now, when this happened, my first reaction was that the bed-wetters did it, and that they did it to declare that only the memorial itself--the one that was stolen--counted under the Supreme Court decision, and that any replacement wouldn't be allowed to stand. And, as it turns out, I was right.

I'd heard they were losing technical expertise, but this is ridiculous.

I can't imagine an example of more ironic poetic justice than terrorists blowing themselves up. Unless they're key leadership figures, like this guy.
