Australia Wins Again!

Hey EU & your mates UK & US....I know you all think it's always all about 'yous' & lately ONLY all about yous but next Saturday (July 2nd, 2106), Australia is throwing a little shindig of it's own.
It's called a Double Dissolution Election! :o
With changed voting rules for the senate just to throw a little twist into an already convoluted system, oh, and now with an atmosphere that has Auzzie stocks & $ falling as Brexit shockwaves hit the country.
And, we have our own versions of all 'you's' issues, isms & phobias as well; economies, disasters, racism, sexism, homophobia, etc...
But WE WIN! - Beyond all our governments sharing qualities in various degrees of inept, incompetent, uninformed, corrupt, dishonest, selfish and hateful - Our pollies have made the Great Barrier Reef available to the highest bidder & some of them still are not reeeeally sure about climate change even though we lost the 1st mammal due to climate change just last week from our land & have lost 50% of the top 1/3 of our Great Barrier Reef from our water. Our pollies have thousands of scientists begging them for action but still they stand firm with their feet planted solidly in that choaly ground assured Mother Nature will continue to provide & not radically change from what we are continuing to do to it.
That's why we win....the Biggest Loser Pollies are all Auzzies!

You Are NOT Correct! - President Obama

Nor are you only "Black, African Am., or Negro."

I cannot believe you filled out the 2010 Census form & only checked 'black' for race!
I find it disgusting that race is defined by colour in this country at all but given that it is, you are black AND white and should have checked both boxes!

To not acknowledge your white half is to show complete disregard for half of your entire family! In fact, you do a great disservice to all multi-racial people in this land by sucumbing to stereotypes & old racist views of 'it only takes a drop'.
Can you imagine the uproar if you had checked just 'white'? That uproar should be loud in your ears right now about your choice of heritage, or more accurately, your choice to only acknowledge half of it.

Is it not illegal to not be completely honest on this Census form?

Shame on you!

I can tell you for a fact, you mother would be very hurt!

Barack Obama - President for the World

Everyone is rejoicing!

Why?

Well, we're finally getting an adult back into the White House - yay!

Not any adult either but an adult who has far reaching ties to every corner of the globe.

Kenya loves him as his dad was Kenyan.
Indonesia loves him as he lived there for a couple of years.
All Pacific Islands love him as he was born in Hawaii.
The whole continent of Africa (yes, Sarah Palin, it's a continent) loves him because of his black roots.
Latin America loves him just because 'sí, se puede'.
Germany loves him because he campaigned in Berlin.
Obama, Japan loves him & have even started learning the Hula!
The Middle East loves him as he has put an 'Hussein' in the White House.
Australia & the EU love him just because he is not W.
&
Ireland loves him because his name is Obama.

Hey California - Vote NO on Prop 8

I just went out front to see if there were any more trick-or-treaters cruising around & discovered my 'Vote No on Prop 8' sign has been stolen!

Now it could have been a prank of course, but since my next door neighbour's 'vote yes' sign is still solidly in the ground, as are the 3 down the street, I can only surmise it was taken by a goodly, God fearing Christian. A caring soul who believes that everybody has the right to live in a free society & have the freedom of choice....as long as that choice is in accordance with the yes on Prop 8 doctrine.

Or maybe they are just homophobic.

Or both, it's not like those two conditions are incompatible really is it?

Either way, now I have blogged about Prop 8 & will get 2 more yard signs tomorrow so their petty scheme has backfired!

Prop 8 Info

I even found a yard sign for my blog!

The Content of Character V The Colour of Skin

This is what is meant in the black community by the need to be better to be equal....

What if John McCain were a former president of the Harvard Law Review?
What if Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his graduating class (894 of 899)?

What if McCain were still married to the first woman to whom he said 'I do'?
What if Obama were the candidate who left his first wife after she was in a disfiguring car accident (and proposed to his current wife while still married to his first)?

What if Michelle Obama were a wife who had been addicted to pain killers and acquired them illegally through her charitable organization?
What if Cindy McCain was never addicted to anything and graduated from Harvard?

What if Obama were a member of the Keating Five?

What if the Obama family adopted a caucasian baby?

What if Obama introduced his vice-presidential nominee 'Joe-anne Biden' to the nation less than 2 months ago & what if this was Biden's educational background?
-Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semester
-North Idaho College - 2 semesters - general study
-University of Idaho - 2 semesters - journalism
-Matanuska-Susitna College - 1 semester
-University of Idaho - 3 semesters - B.A. in Journalism

What if this was McCain's vice-presidential nominee Palin's educational background?
-University of Delaware - B.A. in History and B.A. in Political Science.
-Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.)

What if Obama's vice-presidential nominee 'Joe-anne Biden' was a family values advocate but had a pregnant, unwed, 16 year old daughter?

What if Obama's vice-presidential nominee 'Joe-anne Biden' was found guilty of violating ethics laws and abuse of power as governor?

What if Obama had made all the verbal gaffs on the campaign trail?

If this scenario was reality, do you think Obama could be running at all? Of course not! He has to be almost perfect to even have a chance.

America has come a long way in race relations but still has a long way to go before a person is judged by the content of their character rather than the colour of their skin.

You Are Correct - Al Franken

Rush Limbaugh really is an idiot! (or maybe just lazy)

On his radio show this morning he was regurgitating his 'I met Bill Clinton' story & how he met Los Angeles' mayor 'Villagarossa'. That's what he called him every time he said his name!
(FYI - his name is Antonio Villaraigosa)

Head Ditto did say it was difficult to hear & he didn't catch the mayor's name at first but if that were the case & this were you & you were going to speak about it the next morning on your nationally syndicated radio show, wouldn't you find out for sure what the guy's name was instead of mispronouncing it every time you said it!

I notice his staff got it right in the transcript on his website. This is also in the transcript...
'I don't believe in coincidences with the Clintons. I just don't. Of all places he chooses to go to dinner, the Kobe Club the same night I'm there?'

Of course it would make complete sense to this egotist that Bill Clinton would choose to go to this restaurant just because he was there.

I am not a fan of any of these men (however I do believe Bill Clinton has the higher moral ground by far out of the 3 of them) but to not know the name of the LA mayor when you're paid as a political commentator? Well that's just the work of a lazy man....or the work of an idiot.

Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid!

This is an article on AEI....
Bush Prefers Masters' Voice to Iraq Study Group by David Wheelock.
Don't know who they are?
After you read the article, you will wonder how you don't know about them.

Can you fill in the blank?
You tell me the adjective to put in there.
