UPDATE on Common Sense
UPDATE: Even the liberal NY Times questions ruling.
There have been some shouts for common sense.
State Representative Teresa L. Schooley, Democrat of Newark, wrote, “I am asking each of you to consider the situation, get all the facts, find out about Zach and his family and then act with common sense for the well-being of this child.”
Last year state lawmakers tried to make disciplinary rules more flexible by giving local boards authority to, “on a case-by-case basis, modify the terms of the expulsion.”
The law was introduced after a third-grade girl was expelled for a year because her grandmother had sent a birthday cake to school, along with a knife to cut it. The teacher called the principal — but not before using the knife to cut and serve the cake. ( Could it be that she is a hypocrite as well as having no common sense?)
Stupid, Asinine, Cowardly, Just Totally Messed Up
Zachary Christie, 6, was happy about joining the Cub Scouts and was excited about a new camping utensil that functions as a spoon, fork and knife -- so excited that he took the tool to school to use it at lunch.
The first-grader faces 45 days in reform school after officials determined the camping utensil violated the Christina School District's ban on knives. His mother is home-schooling him while his family appeals the punishment.

More reasons to doubt Global Warming baloney
Early snow records set to be broken
Austria’s provincial capitals are expected to see their earliest snowfalls in history today (Mon) as Arctic air sweeps the country.
Cold temperatures threaten seed potato crop
Record-low temperatures in southwestern Idaho are threatening to destroy at least a portion of this season's crop of seed potatoes.
Spuds still in the ground could be saved by a layer of snow; a dusting had fallen on Bozeman and the surrounding region by Sunday.
Nina Zydak, director of the Montana State University Potato Lab, said most area farmers have already started digging.
But many farmers expect to lose some of their potatoes.

Where's the money coming from?
No Idea? It is coming from Obama's stash of course
Of course he has his own money that he is giving away. It is nothing like tax dollars.

Guest Editorial By Geoff
40,000 Men.....what does it mean?
President Reagan understood both Tactical and Strategic. He stated with much wisdom that "GOOD FENCES MAKE GOOD NEIGHBORS" He also realized that there can be no peace without cannon. I miss that guy.
I only mean to use this as an allegory. Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan are apples and oranges. Due to the needs of domestic policy soldiers in Vietnam were rotated home at a faster rate by the year. The main result was the loss of an acclimated soldiery used to the horrid conditions of the jungles and the effective methods of the V.C. Thus green troops and officers would replace blooded troops accustomed to combat conditions and the result would be heavy casualties.. By the time the fresh troops were accustomed to their environment their tours tended to end. Domestic politics and the short sightedness of General Westmoreland locked into the myth of the decisive battle, for his eyes saw not Vietnam, but the Russians in Central Europe.
What is 40,000 men...about 3 divisions including auxiliary and independent combat units. Where are these troops coming from? Are they being transferred from Iraq or are they fresh levies from home? Given our tactical position and the lack of strategic concept, more than likely casualties will spike Veterans from Iraq will be walking into a completely different environment .with preconceived ideas. Fresh troops with no combat experience facing a hackneyed insurgency, plus insane sorties into Pakistan will suffer greatly. We have sacrificed the big picture in exchange for a heavier reliance on technology and to placate the citizenry, and the misunderstanding of the campaign by a lost Joint Chiefs. Over reliance on Drones and Special Forces disregards an elementary military maxim. There must be troops to occupy space. This is a conflict where we must look to the tactics of Mao and General Giap rather than technical manuals. While trying to mollify public fears, we only create more casualties. This cannot be a war of over stretched garrisons and isolated strong points. We are cannibalizing our own troops. If that is the case we might as well resort to the concept of Strategic Hamlets. This caused hatred for the British during the Boer War and fueled the causes of our enemies in Vietnam and Central America.
After repeated assaults against an isolated fire base we withdrew.. Our enemies and those sitting on the fence are watching. There is a method to establishing a secure fire base and that example was at Khe Sanh. After the failure of Operation Typhoon, the attack on Moscow in 1941, the front was a jagged mess and isolated German units, well supplied, fought on despite repeated Soviet attempts to dislodge them. Isolated for a time, until reinforced by airborne forces, our troops held out magnificently against the last gasp of the German army in the west during the Battle of the Bulge.
Sadly some of our tactics remind me of the Italians in 1940. They placed their forts and bases so far apart that they were isolated and incapable of supporting one another. Leaving them as tempting tidbits for hit and run attacks, or an attempt at a full blown assault. We rely so heavily on air power that our planes become ground down by too many sorties, too few aircraft, and the weapons begin to show immense wear and tear.
What General Washington did to the British and what the V.C. did to us amounts to somewhere between tag and Ringo-Levio. The question begs....what do we really occupy? We support a corrupt useless President who has an army wedded to corruption. We have learned nothing from spending all we did to buck up the regular infantry of A.R.V.N and the K.M.T. Because of the weakness of the central government in Islamabad and the fickleness of the border tribes, our new Ho Chi Minh road has become a death trap. Wedded to roads so narrow and cliffs so steep our by the book tactics have resulted in a disaster. Sadly once again our tactics do not meet certain realities. We do not dig deeply enough into Pakistani politics or the social mores of the tribesmen of both nations. Not everyone wants to be an American and we cannot make decisions based on preconceived notions. The people must decide how they want to be governed. Sadly the ones that suffer the most are the women who are no better than slaves.
We must accept we cannot occupy the entire nation. It is ruled by a conglomeration of clans and opium warlords. They are only our friends when it suits them. Armies who tend to enter the bad lands of Pakistan and Afghanistan tend not to return.We have thus far been the most successful , because we are not conquerors . The disconnect between Tactical and over all Strategic needs are as distant as both banks of the Missouri River. Our main enemies are at this point are a noxious stew of varying cells. The propaganda of our victories using Drones and Special forces, which have done a great job, cover up the failures of senior commanders to seek the advice of field commanders. Our Leaders in Washington have become map top Generals and the C.I.A. again needs to be over hauled. I have great respect for our Commander, but he to is relying on the failed tactic of reinforcements to makeup for poor decision making. I still ask....What are those troops to do? Endless search and destroy missions? Replacements for thinned out units? I wish I knew.
I give a warning.....
1. 40,000 men will not improve conditions on the ground. The situation is very different than Iraq. the people are different and the political climate as fragile as it is..
2. Vice President Biden's wanting to rely on Special Forces and Drones to hunt terrorists will be in the end self defeating. It is a 21st century version of what J.F.K wanted to do in Vietnam. It will be viewed as weakness and we will be fighting shadows while the real problems escalate. We will end up making empty treaties which we know will never be kept. Our populace will be comforted in the notion that our troops are home, but to their consternation, will see the world has gotten worse.
3. President Obama is already sinking into his mental morass. If it does not fit into my world view....than the world has to change. He runs to Copenhagen, is embarrassed again, trying to payoff Mayor Daley's machine and gives a Commander 25 minutes to discuss a conflict vital to our interests. The Russians and Chinese must be smiling, for they are both fighting Muslim insurgencies. He is even retreating on his troop pledge.. He is a failure who would prefer a League of Nation solution. He seeks to make the Afghans into the 21st century Czechs.....he already did it on missile defense. Although, no one knows if those interceptors even work. .

Even the BBC is becoming a Global Warming skeptic
What happened to global warming?
They write,"But it is true. For the last 11 years we have not observed any increase in global temperatures."...........
Last month Mojib Latif, a member of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) says that we may indeed be in a period of cooling worldwide temperatures that could last another 10-20 years........

One gay man, two lesbians, a three-legged cat and a poisoned curry plot
That is the Headline from The Daily Mail in the UK.
A gay man tried to poison his lesbian neighbours by putting metaldehyde slug pellets into their curry after he was accused of kidnapping their three-legged cat.
Real Revo does liberal math. 49% unemployed???????
Real Revo Does Math
They attempted to explain liberal mathematics by illustrating a failed calculation, via a couple news sources.
Lets’ begin with numbers… raw data:
City Residents source: City Data
1980: 1,203,339
1990: 1,027,974
2000: 951,270
2003 estimate: 879,575
2009: 821,792
Now the unemployment figures: source
113,008 without jobs
277,815 currently employed
(390,823 total doesn’t match — see below)
Working age people: 543,774 (calculated using only 20% of the 15-19 age group, to be fair)
Population 15 to 19 years old: 68,707
Population 20 to 24 years old: 65,654
Population 25 to 34 years old: 144,323
Population 35 to 44 years old: 136,695
Population 45 to 54 years old: 115,971
Population 55 to 59 years old: 38,045
Population 60 to 64 years old: 29,344
————————————————-
543,774
So, if the population in the working age range is 543,774 and only 277,815 are currently employed, that would leave 265,959 without a job. Check the calculator… carry the four, 6 to the 14th power and…. the percentage of unemployed persons in Detroit proper is now (and has been for quite some time) a staggering: 49%
YES – YOU SEE THAT CORRECTLY. 49% OF DETROIT RESIDENTS ARE UNEMPLOYED. THEY ARE SO, BECAUSE THEY CHOOSE TO BE!
YOU WILL EAT BREAKFAST AT SCHOOL ! ! ! !
Nanny State Overload
In a locally unprecedented move, the School District of Philadelphia will hold principals accountable for the number of students eating breakfast in their schools.Breakfast participation will be part of the report card that rates principals each year, along with categories such as attendance and math and reading performance.All 165,000 students in Philadelphia public schools, regardless of income, are eligible for free breakfasts. But just 54,000 ate breakfast last year, district figures show...............
Jonathan Stein, a lawyer with Community Legal Services, whose efforts - along with those of Public Citizens for Children and Youth (PCCY) - helped bring about the move....."This is the first accountability system for school meals in the history of the school system," Stein said. "It's very exciting."

As the son of 2 immigrants...............
I think Barney is an idiot.
When my parents came,they needed a sponsor. They got jobs. They found their own apartments. They got their own healthcare. Barney's Grandparents didn't come with their handout. I have no problem with immigration, but let's have some controls. I want to know who is coming here. I don't want people coming who are a drain on society. We don't need criminals. We don't need terrorists slipping in too.

Retired Guys and Shopping
Since I retired, my wife insists that I accompany her on her trips to Walmart. I dislike shopping and she loves to browse. Yesterday my dear wife received the following letter from the local Target.
Dear Mrs.Lynch,
We cannot tolerate the commotion your husband has caused in our store over the past six months. We have been forced to ban both of you from the premises. Our surveillance cameras document the following list of complaints against your husband:
1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in other people's carts when they weren't looking.
2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in house wares to go off at 5-minute intervals.
3. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice, 'Code 3 in house wares. Get on it right away. This caused the employee to leave her assigned station and receive a reprimand from her Supervisor that in turn resulted with a union grievance, causing management to lose time and costing the company money.
4. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&Ms on layaway.
5. August 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.
6. August 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told the children shoppers that they could go camping in the tent if they would bring pillows and blankets from the bedding department, to which twenty children obliged.
8. August 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began crying and screamed, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?' EMTs were called.
9. September 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked his nose.
10. September 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he asked the clerk where the antidepressants were.
11. September 12: Darted around the store suspiciously while loudly humming the 'Mission Impossible' theme.
12. September 19: In the auto department, he practiced his 'Madonna look' by using different sizes of funnels.
13. October 1: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, yelled 'PICK ME! PICK ME!'
14. October 2: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumed a fetal position and screamed 'OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!'
And last, but not least:
15. October 6: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile, and then yelled very loudly, 'Hey! There's no toilet paper in here.' One of the clerks passed out.

Some Idaho school kids enjoy an early snow day
This may be one for the record books, not only how early this heavy fall snowstorm is, but the fact that it appears to have created the earliest snow day in the history of the Blaine County School District.
Loveland ski opens Wednesday, A-Basin on Friday
Boasting its earliest opening day in 40 years, Loveland officials today announced the area will open for skiing Wednesday.
Gosh, I hope they change our whole system because of a theory ! ! ! Make sure they pass "cap and trade". I don't mind if my energy bill goes up by $1800 on a theory . Let's get rid of our lightbulbs too

"Kids are being aggressively recruited to become heterosexual in this country."
At a Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network(GLSEN) event in 2000, Kevin Jennings said that "Kids are being aggressively recruited to become heterosexual in this country."
The Prom and Romeo and Juliet are tools of the heterosexual community.
And Who Is Kevin Jennings?
Obama's appointment as Director of the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools.
US Senator Black-Balls Radio Station
The news release sent by U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-Illinois) on the afternoon of September 3rd said “NOTE: The times and locations of these events are for media planning purposes only and should not be published or aired in any form.”
Mike Moyers, general manager/vice president of STARadio Corporation, which owns WTAD-AM (930)put it on the air.
Guess what Durbin did.
He Black Balled WTAD-AM.
Christina Angarola of Durbin’s Chicago office called WTAD on Monday to inform them they would no longer be included on the list of those receiving news releases from the senator when he plans to visit West-Central Illinois.

President Obama yesterday rolled out the red carpet -- and handed out doctors' white coats as well, just so nobody missed his hard-sell health-care message.........
The Republican National Committee shot back with a response from Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.), who was an orthopedic surgeon before being elected to Congress."Today, the president wants you to believe that the medical community supports his government takeover of health care. Don't be fooled," Price said.
He said he had spoken to "thousands of my colleagues" who oppose the Democrats' legislation.

Hey Ragin' Cajun, What in the heck is a Hockey Court?
James Carville says.............
I think he’s nuts… Just out and out nuts. And I also think that he’s a blatant hypocrite. Here’s somebody that sits on his show and weeping about how much he loves America… and then, he’s absolutely giddy when his country doesn’t get the Olympics.
He wouldn’t know the difference between a football, a bat, and a hockey court.
I know what a football is
or maybe this 
I know what a bat is
And i know what a hockey RINK is
And unlike your old boss, I know what the meaning of "is" is
What in the heck is a Hockey Court?
Is that what they call it down in N'awlins?

Chicago Among 4 Picks as Finalists
for 2016 Summer Olympics
In a story dated Friday, October 02, 2009 (Who was President then?)for 2016 Summer Olympics
In a vote of high drama, the bustling Brazilian carnival city of beaches, mountains and samba beat surprise finalist Madrid, which got a big helping hand from a very influential friend.
Chicago was knocked out in the first round — in one of the most shocking defeats ever handed down by the International Olympic Committee.
The story from Wednesday, June 04, 2008 (Who was President then?)
ATHENS, Greece — Chicago was among the four cities picked as finalists Wednesday for the 2016 Summer Olympics, setting the stage for a high-profile bidding contest between candidates from the United States, Europe and Asia.
So let's get the story straight. Chicago was picked as a finalist when President George W. Bush was in office. It didn't get the Olympics when President Obama was in office. Blame who you want, but it wasn't GW this time.

A Depressed Woman writes a letter, and Doctors fear Assault Charges
It is reasonable that someone who is reasonably healthy and wants to commit suicide is not playing with a full deck. It is also reasonable that what that person writes might not be written by a competent person.
Well The government doctors in England gave it credence. They were afraid to aid a suicidal person because of their fear of litigation. They were more afraid of a darn lawyer than saving a life. I don't agree with the severity of Shakespeare in "Henry the Sixth", but we do need to do something about lawyers.
Kerrie Wooltorton, of Norwich in eastern England, is believed to be the first person to use a living will to commit suicide, The Guardian newspaper reported Thursday.
She wrote the document on Sept. 15, 2007, three days before she poisoned herself. She called an ambulance, which took her to Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital. There, she gave doctors a letter addressed to "To whom this may concern." .....
"If I come into hospital regarding an overdose or any attempt of my life, I would like for NO life saving treatment to be given,"...........
Doctors said they feared they would be charged with assault if they treated her because she had made her wishes clear, The Telegraph reported.

Kitty Pryde/Juno actress says Whip It
Ellen Page rolls into
'Whip It'
'Whip It'
Ellen Page aka Kitty Pryde, aka Juno, plays Bliss, a small town Texas teen who just doesn't agree with her mom that beauty pageants are the key to future success and happiness for a teen girl. She and best friend Pash (Alia Shawkat) dream of getting out of their small home town but Bliss isn't sure how to escape from her boring job as a diner waitress and the endless array of pageants her mom (Marcia Gay Harden) has lined up for her until some tough, punk-ish, girls skate into her life, inspiring her to check out the fast-paced, rough and tumble world of roller derby where skaters have names like Eva Destruction, Iron Maven and Maggie Mayhem. 
Michelle Obama's Sacrifice.
After finally becoming proud of her country,
she now becomes disappointed with world.
she now becomes disappointed with world.
"As much of a sacrifice as people say this is for me or Oprah or the president to come for these few days," the first lady said.
What Freaking Sacrifice ! ! ! Did she say "OOOOH I had to travel all the way to Europe on a Jet. I had to leave my garden, just as I am ready to harvest. Darn,I had to spend all that time with Oprah."
NOOOOO, she spent the time wining and dining with the rich and shameless. She hung out with Oprah, just like she did in Rev.Wright's Church. She hung out with athletes.
What Freaking Sacrifice ! ! !
Check out this Billboard
A billboard is located along I-70 between the Adams Dairy Parkway and the Grain Valley exits in Missouri. The billboard reads,
"How do you like your change now? Obama Nation. They are coming for you! The Taxpayer. First and Second Amendments are in jeopardy. Live free or Die."
There is also a hammer and sickle on the sign.

Patients First is a project focused on real health care reform — reform that puts patients first. We are concerned about the impact more government control will have on your health care. We believe Americans want and need more health insurance options – not just a costly, government-defined plan paid for by American taxpayers. Decisions about health insurance and health care belong to individuals and families, not Washington bureaucrats and politicians.

What does Congress pay for Health care? $503 PER YEAR
U.S. Congressmen are the new Soviet Apparatchiks
ABC Reports.............
This fall while members of Congress toil in the U.S. Capitol, working to decide how or even whether to reform the country's health care system, one floor below them an elaborate Navy medical clinic -- described by those who have seen it as something akin to a modern community hospital -- will be standing by, on-call and ready to provide Congress with some of the country's best and most efficient government-run health care.
Formally called the Office of the Attending Physician, the clinic -- and at least six satellite offices it supports -- bills its mission as one of emergency preparedness and public health. Each day, it stands ready to handle medical emergencies, biological attacks and the occasional fainting tourist visiting Capitol Hill........................
Services offered by the Office of the Attending Physician include physicals and routine examinations, on-site X-rays and lab work, physical therapy and referrals to medical specialists from military hospitals and private medical practices. According to congressional budget records, the office is staffed by at least four Navy doctors as well as at least a dozen medical and X-ray technicians, nurses and a pharmacist.Sources said when specialists are needed, they are brought to the Capitol, often at no additional charge to members of Congress.

Deeds Drifting Deeper,Dumped Dem Demogogue
Thesis Thwarting Tantrum?
Is the DNC holding back the $$$ because Deeds is a one trick pony?
Over at the CampaignSpot, they write..........
The bad poll news comes on the heels of a story circulating in Democratic circles today that the Democratic National Committee is reportedly holding on to its $5 million financial commitment to the Deeds campaign out of concern that the Deeds campaign has focused too much of its attention on the controversial Bob McDonnell 1989 grad-school thesis setting out a hardline social-conservative political agenda for his budding political career and not enough on putting down a framework for what a Deeds administration would do for Virginia.

Obama's Direction
President Obama got lost on stage.
First as Candidate Obama, he moved a little bit to his right. Then someone told him he won. He then moves all the way to the far left
