If you're a Muslim and you hate seeing people like this run your religion through the dirt, stop whining and do something about it.  Join the military in droves and Code Red people like this until they stop making your religion look bad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If you know someone whose personal feelings are inconsistent with important facts in their life (e.g., they're in the Army but are also an angry militant Muslim)...REPORT IT.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I can't help but wonder if the ghost of John Bell Hood got to him...THAT was one crazy dude.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Props totally to the first responders.

President and Mrs. Obama have chosen to send their daughters to private school, at a cost of about $29,000 a year for each girl. What choices, if any, should other parents have about where their children go to school and about how to pay for educating their children? &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;(I think that any politician who favors making it harder for citizens to have educational choices and then sends their own children anywhere other than the closest public school suffers from a serious ethical flaw.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;2. Why is it important that the president and other elected officials, like the mayor, senators, members of Congress, or the governor listen to what citizens say, whether in town hall meetings or in any other form of citizen communication? Why is what citizens say important to these elected officials? &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;(Them listening to us is far more important than us listening to them.  But then, few of us have quite the Messiah complex that this one has...)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;3. When elected officials pass laws should they and their staffs also be obliged to follow those same laws or should they be exempt--and in either case, why? &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;(Should a President who committed crimes before he became President [e.g., Governor of Arkansas] be exempt from prosecution just because he is President?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;4. If an elected or appointed public official breaks the law what should be done about that? &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;(Same question...)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;5. When elected officials publicly make a promise, what should be done if they go back on their word and do something completely different--including the exact opposite of what they said they'd do? &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;(Read my lips...no increase in taxes.  Allowing a cut to lapse is an increase.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;6. President Obama is a big believer in personal responsibility. How does "personal responsibility" apply to elected officials and to citizens, in general? &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;(If personal responsibility is an issue, when do we get an apology [preferably in the form of a resignation] for a "stimulus" that turned a minor setback that probably would have self-corrected by now into a crisis that probably won't be corrected until we get another administration in place?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;7. How much control should individual citizens have over their lives versus the amount of control given to government when it comes to things like education, health care, saving and investing for retirement and any other issue? &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;(Similarly...should the federal Government actually have to follow the Constitution when passing laws about things the Constitution did not indicate as federal powers?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;8. What limits, if any, should there be on freedom of speech, such as on the radio, on TV, on YouTube, in print, in classroom discussions, etc.? &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;(Do speeches to school children qualify for "equal time" under the Fairness Doctrine?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;9. What do you think about giving some students special preferences in admitting them to schools or awarding them money or prizes: what guidelines do you suggest? &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;(Merit-based scholarships should be based solely on merit and not demographics.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;10.

After doing Episodes IV through VI, and a LONG hiatus, he went back and did Episodes I through III.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yours truly has learned via sources who claim to be close to Mr. Lucas but wish to remain anonymous because they don't want to stop being invited to his wild parties, that Episode VII will echo current events just as earlier ones have. For example, the name of the Nute Gunray character in Episode I: The Phantom Menace was an amalgam of Newt Gingrich and Ronald Reagan's names and the title of Episode IV: A New Hope reflected a need of the latter 1970s, the New Episode VII: The Lost Hope will reflect the realities of the current state of affairs in America and it's already-failed-beyond-salvage current administration. This latest episode will see, predictably, a reconstituted Sith under the shadowy Sith Master Darth Soros with the more visible apprentice Sith Lord Darth Obama. Together, they will construct a new and powerful weapon against all manind: the Debt Star. They will be served by inhuman droids that only have cryptic numeric designators like Bi-D3N, P3L0-C, R3-3D, and M0-oRE. Unfortunately, there haven't been any heroes cast yet for the story, it seems pretty bleak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didn't make this up, I claim none of this as my own. The anonymous sources told me, and we all know that those make reliable news.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

And sticking to the facts always makes politicians nervous.  Liberals more so than conservatives, of course, but all politicians believe that the truth is something to be exploited when it is in your favor and avoided when it isn't.  (Liberals struggle more on this because they simply are so far out of kilter with the truth that they usually don't recognize it.

As president, Obama will not sign any non-emergency bill without giving the American public an opportunity to review and comment on the White House website for five days.” (&lt;a href="http://www.barackobama.com/issues/ethics/"&gt;BarackObama.com campaign Web site&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;What he did:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Obama signed the Lily Ledbetter bill, the SCHIP/cigarette tax hike, and the stimulus bill all with far less than a five-day waiting period that he promised–and continues to promise–on his campaign Web site.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Promise #4: Lobbyist Revolving Door&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What he said:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;“No political appointees in an Obama-Biden administration will be permitted to work on regulations or contracts directly and substantially related to their prior employer for two years. And no political appointee will be able to lobby the executive branch after leaving government service during the remainder of the administration.” (&lt;a href="http://www.barackobama.com/issues/ethics/"&gt;BarackObama.com campaign Web site&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What he did:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Obama appointed Goldman Sachs lobbyists Mark Patterson chief of staff at the Treasury Department, where he directly oversees his former employer, a recipient of $10 billion of taxpayer funds from the TARP. Obama also appointed Raytheon lobbyist William Lynn to be an undersecretary of Defense.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Promise #3: No Tax Hikes on the Poor&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;What he said first:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;“I can make a firm pledge. Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not &lt;em&gt;any&lt;/em&gt; of your taxes.” (&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8erePM8V5U"&gt;September 12, 2008, Dover, N.H.&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What he did first:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;By signing H.R. 2 into law, Obama happily signed onto the idea that smokers should pay for a $35 billion expansion of the State Children’s Health Insurance Plan (SCHIP). Cigarette taxes are going up 61 cents a pack starting April 1. Obama signed this bill knowing that the majority of smokers in the United States are working poor, and one in four lives below the federal poverty line.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What he said next:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;“If your family earns less than $250,000 a year, you will not see your taxes increased a single dime. I repeat: not one single dime.” (&lt;a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/Remarks-of-President-Barack-Obama-Address-to-Joint-Session-of-Congress/"&gt;February 24th, 2009, Address to a Joint Session of Congress&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What he did next:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ignored the already-hiked cigarette tax at the time of the statement and then this restated promise was broken just two days later, when the Obama’s budget proposal was released. His new budget raises 45 percent of its revenue from energy taxes that will be paid by &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;everyone&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; who fills a gas tank, pays an electric bill, or buys anything that was grown, shipped, or manufactured.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Promise #2: Pork Barrel Earmark Reform&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What he said:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;“The system is broken. We can no longer accept a process that doles out earmarks based on a member of Congress’ seniority, rather than the merit of the project. We can no longer accept an earmarks process that has become so complicated to navigate that a municipality or non-profit group has to hire high-priced D.C. lobbyists to do it. And we can no longer accept an earmarks process in which many of the projects being funded fail to address the real needs of our country.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;(&lt;a href="http://www.votesmart.org/speech_detail.php?sc_id=355049"&gt;Statement on Earmarks, March 10, 2008&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What he is expected to do:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;The White House has signaled that it intends to sign the $410 billion Omnibus Appropriations bill, which according to &lt;a href="http://www.taxpayer.net/resources.php?category=&amp;amp;type=Project&amp;amp;proj_id=1961&amp;amp;action=Headlines%20By%20TCS"&gt;Taxpayers for Common Sense&lt;/a&gt;, contains 8,570 earmarks totaling $7.7 billion, including dozens of wasteful pork-barrel projects. These earmarks were awarded based on seniority, not on merit, and were mostly the result of high-priced lobbying, precisely the process that Obama promised to end. When the omnibus reaches his desk later this week or next week, we’ll find out if this is one more broken promise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Promise #1: Big Government&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;OK, so this one is more of a statement than a promise, but it’s the biggest whopper of all.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What he said:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Not because I believe in bigger government — I don’t.” (&lt;a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/Remarks-of-President-Barack-Obama-Address-to-Joint-Session-of-Congress/"&gt;February 24, 2009, Joint Address to Congress&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What he did:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Obama proposed a budget that is breathtaking in scope, a blueprint for the biggest permanent expansion of government in history right on the heels of a sweeping trillion dollar stimulus plan. The budget lays the foundation for a government takeover of the health care and energy sectors and dramatically increasing spending across the board, other than defense weapons programs. Spending as a percentage of the economy under this budget will reach the historic level of 27.7 percent this year. The deficit as a percent of the economy, at 12.3 percent, is set to be the biggest in the entire history of the country outside of the four peak years of World War II. &lt;strong&gt;Anyone who offers such a budget can only fairly be described as a believer in bigger government.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Phil Kerpen is director of policy for Americans for Prosperity.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7448220-5239011981397180032?l=wotziznutz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7448220/posts/default/5239011981397180032'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7448220/posts/default/5239011981397180032'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wotziznutz.blogspot.com/2009/03/so-good-it-bears-repeating.html' title='So good it bears repeating'/><author><name>Lord Wotziznutz,    1st Duke of Westmelbourne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07515621345631576406</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7448220.post-7569822947474546295</id><published>2009-01-07T21:09:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2009-01-07T21:15:42.476-05:00</updated><title type='text'>On the Minnesota Senate Situation</title><content type='html'>I have two thoughts about this...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;There's a definite advantage to Al Franken going to the Senate.  We won't have to listen to his angry hate-filled ranting that he tries to call comedy anymore.  What the Senate does is generally much funnier.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The race is so close, it may never be resolved.  Less than 1000 votes is the margin, one way or the other, out of millions cast.  The problem there is that in any election where the Democrat gets more than, say, 20% of the vote, it is safe to presume that some level of corruption and fraud were involved.  The hope is that it wasn't enough to determine the outcome.  (Unfortunately, there are many documented cases where it did...JFK's initial election being the most widely studied.)  With the margin this slim, it is impossible for any reasonable person to trust the result.  Especially in a state that has already once elected a pro wrestler as Governor.

We'll elect a totally-unqualified half-assed socialist ideologue even if they are a minority.  Now maybe all the minority activist groups that have been creating a false crisis can shut up.  Yes, there is always room for improvement.  Yes, there are still bastions of bigotry around.  But it clearly isn't nearly as severe or as pervasive as some would have us believe.  If anything, it is the people who are claiming racism that are the true racists.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;George Bush won't have to wait long before people stop calling him the worst President in history.  In 2 years, 4 years tops, and we'll be wishing we could have given W a third term rather than the mess we made for ourselves.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The margin of defeat (I won't call it victory, because America doesn't do anything but lose here) was probably larger than Democrat voter fraud (that's all one word, by the way - if anyone tells you that voter fraud is anything other than perpetuated by liberals, they're either lying or misguided).  This means that there can be no argument over whose fault it is when the wheels come off this tricycle in the middle of the train tracks.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Winston Churchill once said that you can always count on America to do the right thing, after all other options have been attempted.  After this colossal cock-up, hopefully America will be well poised to learn her lesson and keep liberals out of government for a while.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Every time I think that my faith in the intelligence and moral courage in the average American has fallen as low as it possibly can, America has collectively fallen to a new low.

But when the British seized Washington during the War of 1812, they didn't stay long, and the average American had more moral courage then.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7448220-1559405094312687273?l=wotziznutz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7448220/posts/default/1559405094312687273'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7448220/posts/default/1559405094312687273'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wotziznutz.blogspot.com/2008/11/obviously-failure-was-option.html' title='Obviously, failure WAS an option'/><author><name>Lord Wotziznutz,    1st Duke of Westmelbourne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07515621345631576406</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7448220.post-7785697294204719129</id><published>2008-11-01T16:11:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2008-11-01T16:14:03.427-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Well, I did my part</title><content type='html'>I dropped off my absentee ballot today, to do my part to defend the nation from the forces of darkness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No, that's not a racial comment, don't even try to go there.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7448220-7785697294204719129?l=wotziznutz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7448220/posts/default/7785697294204719129'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7448220/posts/default/7785697294204719129'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wotziznutz.blogspot.com/2008/11/well-i-did-my-part.html' title='Well, I did my part'/><author><name>Lord Wotziznutz,    1st Duke of Westmelbourne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07515621345631576406</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7448220.post-5534581969558155414</id><published>2008-10-31T13:14:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2008-10-31T13:20:17.606-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Three more thoughts...</title><content type='html'>&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Al Qaeda endorses Obama.  That should be an indicator for any sane person, and especially any sane person who wants the best for America.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The Obama campaign is quietly limiting access to reporters from media outlets that have been less than orgasmic in their support for the candidate.  There's no logical reason for this unless there is a smoking gun somewhere that needs to remain hidden.  That should be a BIG indicator for anyone with a brain.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;When democracy was first founded in ancient Greece, there were required qualifications for being able to vote.  When America was founded, there were similar required qualifications for being able to vote.  Now, some of those qualifications didn't make sense, but many of them did.  Looking at the polls, it isn't hard to determine that some of those qualifications need to be brought back.  If close to 50% of likely voters in America support Obama, then clearly we've extended the right to vote to some people with no business voting.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7448220-5534581969558155414?l=wotziznutz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7448220/posts/default/5534581969558155414'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7448220/posts/default/5534581969558155414'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wotziznutz.blogspot.com/2008/10/three-more-thoughts.html' title='Three more thoughts...'/><author><name>Lord Wotziznutz,    1st Duke of Westmelbourne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07515621345631576406</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7448220.post-7218744451853309208</id><published>2008-10-29T17:50:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2008-10-29T17:52:38.378-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Ask how well it turned out...</title><content type='html'>So we have a case where a young, dynamic, and charismatic leader comes out of nowhere and promises change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His own background is a bit of a mystery, and he's a bit light on the details of what exactly he plans to change and how he plans to make that change happen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before we run down that path, perhaps we should ask Cuba how well that worked out for them with Fidel.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7448220-7218744451853309208?l=wotziznutz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7448220/posts/default/7218744451853309208'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7448220/posts/default/7218744451853309208'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wotziznutz.blogspot.com/2008/10/ask-how-well-it-turned-out.html' title='Ask how well it turned out...'/><author><name>Lord Wotziznutz,    1st Duke of Westmelbourne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07515621345631576406</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7448220.post-9214175407834488681</id><published>2008-10-27T22:21:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2008-10-27T22:24:06.221-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Election musings</title><content type='html'>Two thoughts...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;A foiled assassination plot against Obama is just about the worst possible thing that could happen to this country.
