You gotta be kiddin’ me. I woder how long it took them to come up with this and how many brain cells were destroyed in the process.

I, for one, won’t be loosin’ much sleep over the whole thing. It’s a shame that the catering committees can’t say the same.

Hmmm…Looks like Obama is finally beginning to feel the heat emanating from the kitchen. His good buddy Rev. Wright has spoken one too many times.

Obama said, “I am outraged by the comments that were made and saddened by the spectacle that we saw yesterday.”

I’m really surprised that Obama has taken this long to speak out. There’s really no tellin” how much damage Wright has done to Obama’s campaign.

It looks to me that what is good for the goose is definitely not good for the gander.
It doesn’t seem to bother Mr. Polis one bit to criticize his opponent for the very same things that he indulges in himself. Funny how are….must be in the blood.

Oh yeah, while I’m thinkin’ of it,the other thing that really bothers me is the way Mr. Polis has chosen to invest his money. Yes, I know that one should be free to invest in those stocks that are most likely to bring a decent retrurn on one’s money. However, it really doesn’t take a genius to see that Polis is doing the very thing that he is accusing his opponent of doing. Mighty. Strange.

Jared Polis divested himself of stock in these companies with atrocious environmental and human- rights records as soon as he discovered them through his fund manager,” campaign spokeswoman Dayna Hanson said in an e-mail.

Additionally, Polis still has investments worth between $250,000 and $500,000 in the Far East Energy Corp., which explores “some of the largest coalbed methane projects in China,” according to its website.

Kinda hypocritical don’t ya think.

And….one more for the road:

A Polis news release on March 6 criticized Fitz-Gerald for taking money from what it alleged were some of the “largest anti-environmental corporations and human-rights violators in the world.” Polis had investments in four of those companies.

Hanson said Polis netted only a few hundred dollars from two of them, and one — which provided him $100,000 to $1 million — was only a week-long investment.

It never ends, does it?

I’ve copied the following in its entirety from Colorado Family Action, because its so terribly important that we act on thiis now:

Urgent: Contact Your Colorado Representative!!

The Colorado state legislators are meddling again in private interests that they have no business regulating, in particular religious institutions.

Senate Bill 167 would force all private colleges, bible colleges, and seminaries, to receive formal approval by the Colorado Commission on Higher Education (CCHE). This commission would be given the authority to determine if a private college is accredited based on policies they have created. SB 167 bill goes on to give the CCHE the right to revoke a private college’s authorization if the school fails to gain accreditation.

But potentially the most devastating effect of this bill would be that students have the ability to file complaints based on a failure to provide the educational services for which the student enrolled with the CCHE. The Commission can then drag the our religious universities through litigation and revoke their academic accreditation if they wished.

It is this continued attempt to regulate religious institutions that liberal legislators see as their responsibility. However, taking away a religious institutions right to determine its own curriculum is unconstitutional. We can not let our private schools be intimidated into educating students based on what the state government dictates.

Despite our attempts, SB 167 was passed in the Senate and has now been sent to the House for vote. It is your duty to tell your Representatives that you do not wish for our religious universities to be subject to further government imposed regulation.

Hate to be just a linker ad not a thinker, but this reporting of a day in Samarra is well worth the time invested in reading it. It give a great deal of insight into what our warriors go thru on a daily basis.

Well, that’s where I spent the better part of late Sunday morning and early Sunday afternoobn. I mean, well, flying the B17, but watching him shoot landings and taking a gajillion pictures. Lot. Of. Fun.

It’s a difficult to realize that men actually went to war in these birds. Most of the bombing runs in Europe were made at 20-30 thousand feet. For what it’s worth, the cabin was neither pressurized nor heated. Temperatures often dropped to 20-30 degrees below zero in the cabin. To clamber aboard and look around gives ya a whole new appreciation for what the “finest generation” endured to protect our liberty. If you see a WWII vet, offer him your thanks for what he did.

Often times we forget that there is another front to the war in SW Asia. The following embeded video reminds us that there is also heavy in Afghanistan.
