I'd Still Be Doing Time, With An Extended Sentence

Back when I was in school, if you timed it right, you could get a trophy. Today's different. You dare to do this and you may go straight to jail (and don't collect $200). Hold your nose and read this!

Did They Bail Out The Titanic?

The talk about bailing out the ever failing American Auto industry is becoming a joke. Is it not obvious that the foreign car makers are having less problems? The biggest problem in Detroit is the unions. Let's face it, the bail out is for the Union, not necessarily the auto industry.

You have to be suspicious when the media takes sides for the industry. They certainly didn't take sides with the industry, when it came to the evil oil industry. I've heard BS in news stories such as: "... bankrupting the American auto industry would cut sooooo deep, taking jobs from local dealers, auto part stores and even the guys working at the car wash..." . Give me a break, Toyotas need to be washed. When the media inflates their stories, there's usually a hidden agenda. Yes, there is, its to protect the UNIONS. The Left thinking media, socialism, and Unions are all holding hands in the OBamaNation.

How many times have we heard about the employee making $75 an hour for tightening lug nuts?

Let the ailing dog die! Let em all go bankrupt. Throughout our lives (business & personal), at some point we go down a wrong road. It takes a good swift kick in the pants to learn to take the correct road. Detroit is getting their kick.

It's also obvious, the products their making aren't selling. Doesn't that tell you... PRODUCE SOMETHING ELSE. Over the past 30 - 40 years, while Detroit wasted time in developing losers like the Chrysler Cordoba, the Chevy Citation, and the all time favorite, Ford Pinto (boom), Japanese and Korean Car makers were perfecting all the numerous, successful brands we see today. Even their assembly plants in the US are successful. How is it that Saturn seems to be working?

Take the magic cure... Bankruptcy. Unload the unions... Flush the system... Start over with your head on straight. Yeah, it hurts for a while! But if Detroit wants to succeed, there's no other way.

More Proof For Your Files

The blog from yesterday, just previous to this one, was an alert from the National Weather Service, warning all of the Delmarva residents of the impending threat of wintry weather. Now, it's the morning after, and other than expected cold, there was no wintry weather.

There are so many elements involved in weather prediction. Even the big league weather prognosticators can't always predict the weather for a 12 hour period without flubbing it.

So, the question is... if you can't effectively predict the next 12 hours, how can you predict the climate for 10 years from now? Let's face it... YOU CAN'T!

Face it folks, global warming, climate change, what ever you want to call it, is a hoax. It's all about causing panic and another reason for governments to reach into your pocket.

Weather Alert

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS ISSUED A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY. IT IS IN EFFECT FROM 700 PM THIS EVENING UNTIL 700 AM ON TUESDAY.
LIGHT RAIN IS EXPECTED IN NORTHEASTERN MARYLAND AND DELAWARE THIS EVENING AS WEAK LOW PRESSURE PASSES OFF THE DELMARVA COAST.

Weather Geek Alert

From one to another here's the precip roundup for The South West portion of Delaware (Delmar Area)..

Through October 31, 2008 For calendar year 2008, a total precip measurement of 30.46 inches. In 2007 at the same time we measured only 28.27 inches. The small blast of rain we received from 11-4 through 11-8 measured 2.06 inches, which was more than received for the entire month of October of just 1.96 inches.

History In The Making

If you thought I was about to discuss America's First Black President... Well, kinda'.. We've heard the historical reference to "first black President" about 50 zillion times.

Our buddies in the press seem to be missing another Historical fact. The day or days following a Presidential election, usually have a subtle to major effect on the stock market, as has this one.

It's so damned historical... Wall Street greeted this election win by plunging nearly 500 points on Wednesday and it was down again by 274 points in afternoon trading. This was the worst, post election, Wall Street report since 1900 (since the beginning of record keeping).

For some reason, Katie at CBS, CNN, NBC, MSNBC, and all the others just aren't giving this Historic Moment any attention. I guess they're too busy! What a shame!

What Happened To Global Warming?

Remember that? Al Gore lives for it. Notice how in the media, it has evolved into "Climate Change"? The reason is they were having world wide Global Warming conferences, and instead of hot weather during the conference, it would snow or weather conditions would be opposite of what had been predicted. Hence, this made the whole thing look asinine to the world, through the eyes of the media. So, to keep up the struggle they fine tuned the title back to "Climate Change".

Whatever it's called, I thoroughly believe it's a hoax, by governments and socialists to have another excuse to take our money. Remember last Spring at the beginning of Hurricane season 2008? Again, it was predicted that this would be one of the worst years for hurricane activity. It didn't quite happen that way. If you haven't noticed, it NEVER happens the way it was predicted. What does this tell you?

A recent, newly released study, going back to 1980 shows how 2008 was the record low of cyclonic activity in history. I've been a student of weather & climate (as a hobby) since I was in the 5th grade. Have you ever noticed on TV or radio they often have a "5 day forecast"? Have you ever noticed, it rarely comes to be? It is very difficult to predict weather more than 2 or 3 days in advance, and often that is wrong. There are just too many factors causing effect upon effect. With all the computers out there today, even they can't catch all the possibilities.

Most importantly, "it's not nice to fool Mother Nature". Now, go eat your "Imperial Margarine".

Fine Dining Is Back

The town of Delmar, Delaware was recently blessed with a new McDonald's Restaurant, which really put the town on the map. As if this wasn't enough to attract epicurean tastes to the small, Eastern Shore town, there's even more exciting news. A while back, the Bonanza Restaurant in Delmar allegedly suffered financial problems and had to close up. Shortly after the closing, the building suffered a serious fire. Since then, the building has just sat there vacant.

In recent weeks, there's been some activity at the Bonanza site, looking as if there's repair work underway. While passing the local eatery today, I noticed a sign which read: "Opening Soon December". Could this be true? If so, the intersection of RT 13 & 54 could become one of our greatest cultural dining centers again!

Too Close For Comfort

It's hard to believe any pollsters on TV since there's so much media bias. But, it's starting to appear that we may be reliving the infamous 2000 election. That was the one, where the winner wasn't formally announced for weeks after the election. Where we learned new terminology like "hanging chads". Where the uneducated of our society never knew there was an electoral college. Whatever happened to "Civics Class" in high school. Oh that's right, is was replaced with "Political Correctness 101".

As you've possibly read in my previous postings, I'm very concerned with the possibility that no matter who wins, were sitting on a political powder keg. We may also be about to relive the racial, civil unrest of the 60's. There are undertones of "be sure to remove any campaign signs from your yard and your vehicle for fear of retribution".

Now, you take that powder keg and stack it on top of keg #2 containing the possible election returns confusion of 2000 and we have a bigger "KA-BOOM". It's very possible that NOBama could win the popular vote and McCain could win the electoral college. "KA-BOOM".

How about the lawyer teams looking for indiscretions? How about vote re-counts due to claims of improper registrations? How about ACORN? There's also the remote possibility that they can tie in the electoral college at 269 votes each (270 needed to win). In which case the President is decided by a vote in the house.

Can the masses accept that outcome? Damn! As confusing as all that is, can you imagine the anarchy which could happen in the streets of major cities? Let's face it, all this Bush hatred of the past 8 years is due from Democrats that have always felt the 2000 election was stolen from them. Can their evil hearts take it, if it happens to them again? Or, if the Democrats win, they'll be celebrating (like when the Chicago Bulls won in the 90's), destroying parts of their own urban centers.

Check your ammo supplies, and I hope your powder is dry. Either way, there's gonna' be a lot of P-Oed people in this country. On top of all that, the smarmy biased press will be egging it all on trying to invent more news. I sincerely hope I have to eat these words. Time will tell.. How much time, and what it will tell may not be known until the ever so peaceful, Christmas season. Timing is everything.

I Have Another Day Off!

It's my understanding that the delightful and humorous, Barb Hudson is campaigning today at Delmar Pizza in Delmar. Funny, I thought she was a school teacher. Isn't school in session today? That's OK, she'll just shove an uneducated, Substitute in on her classes.

If she were elected, her students would have to take a back seat to her legislative job. Think back to your school daze... What did you learn from a substitute? Let's face it, it was like a wasted day of school.

Instead of hanging around Delmar Pizza, Barb should spend her day off trying to find the personality and a sense of humor, she never had!

VOTE BIFF LEE

Is History Repeating Itself?

Drudge reported today that NOBama is suggesting a "National Civilian Security Force". Isn't that the responsibility of each individual state? Isn't the federal government an association of our each individual states?

I think we experienced something like a "National Civilian Security Force" around 70 years ago. Only then (in the 1930's & 1940's), it was referred to as the Gestapo, or perhaps the SS. Are you scared yet?

"The Bradley Effect" And More

I have felt for some time that the Bradley Effect is going to be more prominent than expected in this election. I've also stated that I believe, no matter who wins there's going to be some (so called), urban violence.

Many people around today, weren't around during the race riots of the 60's. However, they were around during the OJ & Rodney King riots of the early 90's. The instigators of the latter, weren't exactly demonstrating in a "Peace or Non-Violence" frame of mind, as was the case in the 60's. Today, people want to see the racial unrest put behind us and don't want to stir the pot. I believe, in general, the non-black majority is fed up with seeing in news reports so often, black criminals appearing to "get away with it".

With that thinking, many non-blacks are actually afraid to state this, especially to a stranger. Perhaps you've seen a bumper sticker or yard sign that simply says "NObama"..

I was given a handful of these. As an experiment, since mid October, I've asked scores of people to put one on their car or truck.

The usual response was: " I'll take one, but I don't think I'll stick it on". This meaning, I'll take it as a collector's item for my desk drawer. However, I'm not putting it on my vehicle because of possible retribution. The general feeling was, I don't want a brick through my windshield, or having the side of my car keyed by some thug.

Keeping this in mind, the less obvious thinking would be, "I say I'm voting Obama, to appear cool and not a racist", but when alone in that voting booth "I'm voting McCain".. In this era of Oprah, people have become wusses and afraid to stand for their convictions. So, be prepared.. should McCain win the election, the so called "Bradley Effect" could get the credit.

Father Jonathan Morris, religious contributor to Fox News is also believing in a similar theory.

Does Obama Scare You Yet?

NObama being scary, times out perfectly with Halloween. And, now there's the story of the L.A. Times is suppressing a video with NObama praising Palestinian activist Rashid Khalidi at a 2003 banquet. CLICK HERE

There's also another video is floating around the internet this morning. All need to watch it as well! CLICK HERE

100% Socialist.. Does Obama Scare You Yet?

A new audio clip BOMBSHELL has just been released. McCain should make this his advertising NOW! Listen to this!

Also, and a mighty big ALSO, is a column released today from ABC News, written by Michael Malone. In it, he thoroughly explains today's media bias. Although, it's a long read, at the end, he logically explains why the bias is now, at its worst for this political campaign. If you don't have time to read anything else today, read this!

I think he has the bias issue pegged! Michael Malone Column via Drudge

Nailed It! Go Get 'Em Charles!

I've been a long time fan of Fox News. I especially learn a lot from Brit Humes' Special Report in the evening, and his panel. Even though, it seems recently they too have gotten soft on the election news. Mort Kondracke, I could do without.

My absolute fave is Charles Krauthammer. In a column today he nailed the Obama side of the upcoming election.. CLICK HERE

A Great And Noble Idea

A group of true patriots have designed this New Emblem to Honor and Remember the Sacrifice of Military Men and Women Who Died in Service. The group has an on line petition which will hopefully lead to congress in officially recognizing this dynamic symbol. Besides the petition and selling the flag, their website fully explains all the various symbolism on the flag and suggested requirements on it's flying. The site also features other promotional items for sale, to help the cause.

As a vexillologist (one who studies flags, etc), I found this a great and noble idea. Please go to the site (linked below) read about this and at least sign the petition. You'll help in honoring those who selflessly fought for our freedoms.

$63.00

Beware.. Prior to every Presidential election, the Democrats start yelling that the Republicans will cut Social Security benefits. Another big lie.. It has never happened but older people panic and always fall for the false claim.

So just be forewarned and look for this BS advertising.. Even if it did happen, Social Security's increase for next year (per recipient) is a whopping $63.00. So, let's say the Republicans really were planning to cut the increase... wouldn't it be worth $63 to avoid having the most Liberal member of the Senate be a President, who has plans for additional taxes for Social Security recipients. That $63.00 wouldn't last long anyway, let's face it.

Another Prediction May Come True

Some time ago, I predicted that no matter who wins this presidential race (keyword RACE), we are going to see insane, civil unrest. (I hope I'm wrong)

Remember in the 90's, when the Chicago Bulls won the championship? There were riots in the streets. Remember the OJ trial? How about that Rodney King guy?

If NObama wins, it will be out of control.

If NObama loses, it will be out of control.

And, I'm not afraid to say it. "It's all about race". Colin Powell's endorsement .. RACE and his wife's liberal influence.

The Hill newspaper came out with a column today suggesting the same. Police in many major cities are gearing up for the possibility. For details: CLICK HERE

PBS Is A Parasite

It really irks me that PBS still gets public funding. Now they're running a purely, unscientific poll: "Is Sarah Palin qualified to be Vice President". Why aren't they asking that about Botox Biden?

Biden has attempted to get the Democrat nomination and failed miserably. The guy's a scumbag! But, our tax dollars have to support this left wing crap called PBS... Don't tell me, they give us all these great shows. If they were so great, make them compete like everyone else. PBS hardly has any ratings. It's a joke network!

Anyway, supposedly the left is pushing a grass roots effort to have everyone to participate in this poll and vote NO..

I encourage everyone to go to the PBS site and vote YES, that Sarah Palin is qualified.
To do so ... CLICK HERE . and tell all your friends to follow suit. The site will only allow you to vote once. That's amazing, it has higher standards than the State of Ohio.

Who Ya Gonna Call? NEWBUSTERS

If you're like me, you just get so frustrated over how the Left leaning press and or media distorts the news. There is a great site which investigates those stories and turns them all around. I've added the link to "Politics, My Way", in the right column. To give it a try, click on the logo:

Say It Isn't So !

On this Monday morning, that blog title could apply to a lot. It could be Nobama's 5 point lead from Zogby, but no, let's save that for later.

Mark your calendar, weather geeks. For the first time since early Spring, this morning, the temperature dropped below freezing. Many years, here in this area, we don't see that happen until November. At 7:00 AM, the reading was actually 31.10 degrees. Theoretically, the earlier it gets colder, the harsher the upcoming Winter. There's no real science behind that, it's just one of those human mind logics, as far as I know.

But if it is a true indicator, limit your time in the outhouse, help the squirrels protect their nuts, don't stick your tongue on the pump handle, and formally declare a Brass Monkey Alert! Ooops, I almost forgot. Seeing it's so close to Halloween, complete the sentence below..

"It's colder than a Witch's _________"

A. broomstick
B. hat
C. wooly socks
D. 8 x 10 autographed photo of Hillary Clinton
E. None of the above, I'll make up my own!

Music World Is Sad Today

We've lost another great one.. At 72 Levi Stubbs died today. If you're not familiar with his name, he's the baritone lead of the 60's & 70's, Motown group The Four Tops.. His unique voice wailed out songs like "Sugar Pie Honey Bunch", "Reach Out, I'll Be There", and "Shake Me, Wake Me".

I must have had 4 or 5 eight track tapes of these great songs. I was fortunate, back in my radio daze to have interviewed Levi in 1988 in Baltimore. For someone with such a huge background, I found him to be a very humble, gracious, intelligent, humorous, and (needless to say) talented individual.

Here's a vocal sound that will truly be missed. Another soulful Soul has passed through the pearly gates.

God Bless Levi Stubbs!

Here's the whole story.

More Stinkin'.. And Surely There's More Coming!

A hotel in Clinton, Maryland posted a pro McCain/Palin message on its marquee. The area went into a racial uproar so much that the business had to take down the sign.

If this is an indication of what's to come with this election BEWARE... This could get physically nasty.

10 Million Americans A Week Do This.... What is it?

They visit a Wal-Mart..
This is the real America! Even VP Candidate, Gov. Sarah Palin visited a Wal-Mart.

Can you imagine Joe Biden ever setting foot in a Wal-Mart? Oh yeah, maybe to buy some Botox!

Happy Columbus Day

Way back in 1492, Chris Columbus became famous for finding "The New World".. Actually he also was famous for another, little known reason. We don't know which ship, the Pinta, the Nina, or the Santa Maria, but Columbus is credited for bringing cattle to The New World. One of those ships was loaded with cattle.

So, yes it's true.. Christopher Columbus was the world first " BULL SHIPPER"..

Time To Make More Local Enemies

I earlier gave a plug on this blog for this weekend's Apple/Scrapple Festival in Bridgeville, DE. When this event comes around next year, I may have to add a big BUT to the plug.

Personally, I haven't attended the affair for a couple of years. When I last attended, it was during the daylight hours. It was quite crowded, and all in all, was a nice event, as small town fairs and carnivals go. The crowd was a very typical for a folksy, family event.

This year, my wife and I didn't get up to Bridgeville until after dark. I have to say, in relation to my previous daylight visit of a couple of years ago, it was like "night and day". Confused?

Here's what I'm getting at... My kids are grown now. But if that weren't the case, the last damn place I'd take them (after dark) would be the Apple Scrapple F-estival (emphasis on the letter F). It was as if, the sun went down and all the dregs of the earth came out. The place was overtaken by hoodlums, thugs, and mostly scum of society. It was really scary. After about 15 minutes, we were back in the car heading out of town.

What about the "F"? You couldn't walk 3 to 5 feet without hearing some scum bag mouthing off the "F word". F this and F that. This of course is dotted in between other wonderful expletives, which seem to delight the youth of today. There were herds of these low life, maggot
infested individuals loping around acting tough.

We should contract a professional photographer to snap some pictures of this evil looking and sounding crowd. Then we could make a perfect poster for "why we NEED easier access to concealed weapon, carry permits". If someone would throw a $20 bill on the ground, I'm sure there would be a violent riot.

There actually were many children roaming through this environment. I'm sure their parents would scream and yell if their kids were exposed to second hand smoke. But there's no problem with exposure to first hand filth.

Don't get me wrong, I don't blame the police on duty there earlier tonight. Their presence was obvious, and I'm sure if a problem would develop, they could probably control it. I also don't blame the event's organizers. My complaint is with what our culture has evolved into.

This may sound simple, but here's an idea for what may help in alleviating some of this. The problem develops after dark. I suggest intense lighting be installed for the event. A lot of the potential, criminal element stays away when they can't play, and they always play in the dark.

Overall, it's just a sad observation of today's society and what we've grown to accept. (Parents, are you listening?) It's sad and shameful.

It's Official, Obama Is The Messiah!
