Clinton had no foreign experience either

The media needs to zip it about Sarah Palin on this one.

Looks like Clinton (and others) didn't have foreign policy experience either.

Mankind’s greatest experiment ???

Sometimes the most brilliant minds really are the most clueless. WHY should we even bother to know this information???

This is what happens when the entire planet is more or less held hostage by a few "mad" scientists who insist that ONLY THEY KNOW WHAT'S BEST and they ("we") NEED TO KNOW THE ANSWER, therefore, billions upon billions of dollars are spent creating a machine that MIGHT give us some kind of answer to the "mysteries of the universe."

But it's all for naught! What they don't understand is that WE. WILL. NEVER. KNOW.

Like the human body, when it comes to the universe, God has created mysteries inside riddles wrapped in enigmas. The perfection and exquisitely minute details of the universe, as well as the "stuff" that holds everything together, both within and without, CANNOT be known by mankind because our tiny human minds are simply unable to grasp or fathom things that are so far beyond us. This is shown in the Book of Job:

Job 38 (this is the Lord speaking to Job, chastising him for "shaking his fist" at God):

Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Tell me, if you understand.

Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it?

On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?

Can you bind the beautiful Pleiades? Can you loose the cords of Orion?

Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons or lead out the Bear with its cubs?

Do you know the laws of the heavens?

Can you set up God's dominion over the earth?

Street cred makes GREAT role models

Isn't it a wonderful society we live in when multimillionaire rap artists are known for their "street cred," i.e., "...the number of entries on their rap sheet, the time they have spent behind bars, or the gritty details of their illicit escapades."

If that isn't some kind of screwed up role model, then I don't know what is.

Add that to the standard Hollyweird/Britney stuff. Ugh.

DEMS SINK TO NEW LOWS

OK, the dems are sinking lower and lower when it comes to Sarah Palin. Just when you think things can't get worse, we have these two items:

A fake eBay post about Sarah Palin "auctioning" off Trig!








Worse yet, a blog (courtesy of Blogger/Google) called "I miss my Mommy," created by those who call themselves "feminists" and claim to be "pro-women"!












It's just SICK. And these are the people who insist that Obama should be our next president??? This, after doing other things like slashing the tires of Republicans during voting, trashing the Whitehouse upon departure from office, doing everything they can to denigrate our president, humiliate our military, and embarrass our country, plus myriad other activities...why would they think that the country would actually want someone like that running the country? Are they blind? Are they out of touch? Are they crazy? Are they evil?

I think the answer would have to be YES, on all accounts. I believe many of them are.

Tens of Thousands of Iraqis Could Come to U.S.

OK...and if they abide by our laws and rules and learn to assimilate into our society, and not live in self-imposed, alientated, hard-core cliques, then I say: COME ON DOWN!

Singing 'la-la-la' won't make jihadists go away

Fantastic article by Richard Littlejohn (the DailyMail, a British newspaper), about England's lack of a backbone in fighting terrorism from within. Sounds awfully familiar...something we are experiencing here in the States as well!

Among other great tidbits in this article is this paragraph:

...We shouldn't read too much into their sermons about it being the holy duty of all Muslims to kill Jews, gays and dirty unbelievers. It's their culture, innit? When deranged lunatics marched through London bearing placards calling for the beheading and murder of infidels, we were told by the 'diversity' brigade that it wasn't anything to worry about, just a bit of high spirits.

Christ said in the last days, the earth would be blinded by a great delusion...I'm thinking that this may very well be part of that delusion!

The NAU - it's coming

The NAU, or, North American Union, is on its way to being reality! Borders are already being erased between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, forming one large "union" not unlike like the EU. Bush, Vicente Fox and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, have already held a series of 3 secret meetings about this very issue, and have all signed agreements putting the wheels for this union into motion. A horrifying thught to be sure, but make no mistake, it's coming. PAY ATTENTION to the following terms, as they will soon become familiar:

• NAFTA Superhighway
• International Mid-Continent Trade Corridor
• Trans-Texas Corridor
• CANAMEX Corridor
• Amero coin

Though there has been much "hue and cry" over border issues, illegal aliens, and lack of security, and more recently, the the reality is, without the public's knowledge, plans are forging ahead to make the NAU a reality. Already the pieces are falling into place. The players (Cintra-Zachry of Spain) have already been chosen to build the enormous 12-lane superhighway called the "Trans-Texas Corridor" or the NAFTA Superhighway. There will be another Mexico-US-Canada highway called the "Canamex Corridor," that will start in Mexico City and enter the US through Arizona, ending in Edmonton, Canada. Note the very first sentence on the Canamex website: "Since its inception in 1995..." That's 13 years ago, but I have heard guests on various radio programs who are much more familiar with these issues, who say that the inception for the Trans-TX Corridor began as early as the 1960s.

Organizations supporting supercorridors:
North American SuperCorridor Coalition (NASCO)
North American Forum on Integration
NAFTA of course
map of the Trans-Texas Corridor
map of Canamex corridor
Nasco's map of highways

Also, it looks like the "Amero" coin is in the works as well. Apparently there are some of these coins in circulation, HOWEVER, they are not (yet) legal tender, and are merely shown currently as "fantasy" coins. Interestingly, though, the artist of these coins, one Daniel Carr, also created several other coin designs, two of which, for New York and Rhode Island, became actual state quarters. As well, it looks like the NAU logo is already being used by South Carolina!

Quote: "...the hologram of the continent was the creation of the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators, a tax-exempt, nonprofit organization that, according to the group's website, "develops model programs in motor vehicle administration, law enforcement and highway safety." http://www.aamva.org/

A North American Union, along with the European Union, are just two steps closer to putting all countries under ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT. I predict that there soon will be several more types of "unions," such as a Baltic Union (eastern Europe, and all the "stans"- aka "Gog"), a Cino-Russe Union (Russia, China - aka "Magog"), and a PanAsian Union (Oz, N. Zealand, N. Guinea, Indonesia, India, Singapore), though I'm unsure where to put S. America and Africa.

Racism crosses ALL ethnicities

It's amazing that the left's favorite battle cry, "racism," is never given a long hard look in the mirror. It's as if racism, any form of racism, comes ONLY from the right (meaning, mostly whites), the right is the ONLY group that ever spews racists comments or thoughts, diatribes.

While I agree there are many whites who are blatantly racist about many people, what people don't understand is that JUST BEING HUMAN makes one racist to a degree. It's our sinful, impure human nature, and fear of the unknown, that gets in the way. What we don't know, we fear, and more times that not, fear is the seed of racism, amongst many other things.

By one merely saying that he or she isn't racist doesn't necessarily make it true. We're always going to have prejudices of one type or another. What we like/don't like, what we're comfortable or uncomfortable with, our way of life, how we were brought up, our politics and religious affiliations, how others differ from us...it's ENDLESS. However many don't understand this, so they continue to exacerbate the "only the right is racist" view, which is a stereotype in and of itself! Here is a website featuring an article on this very topic. This comment from MichelleMalkin.com, shows how some blatant racism (coming from the Left) never seems to be pointed out:

Let’s discuss some “Derogatory” names that are on television, in the papers, on the radio at any time every day of every week of every month of every year…SHALL WE?

Cracka?

Whitey?

Redneck?

White-boy? [I'd also like to interject about various comments/lines in movies and TV shows where, if a white person can't dance or isn't funny/cool/hip enough, the line invariably goes: "well you ARE white, so..." Would we ever see TV show characters saying: "Well, you're black so obviously you can't do X." ??? NEVER!]

Why it is even prevalent in children’s movies. In the movie “Madagascar”, the zebra character, played by Chris Rock, loves the island sooooo much, that he claimed that it was “Cracka-lackin”.

Gee…so the reason that the island was such a paradise was because it was devoid of white people? And this is ok terminology to have in an animated children’s film?

I have heard this term used MANY times on television in various shows and NEVER spoken by anyone who was not black.

SO tell me, trolls and other race-baiters…why is there no outcry against the BLATANT racism and “Derogatory” terms that are used on a daily basis?

Would it be ok if, in the next childrens movie, a character comes out and proclaims a location to be wonderful simply because it is “N*****-lackin”?

Hypocrites. Stinking hypocrites.

Medium predicts televised UFO sighting Oct. 14

How to tell a real prophecy from a false 'prophecy.'

Apparently there is going to be a televised UFO sighting on October 14. Oooh.

Leviticus 19:31 says: "Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them..."

Deuteronomy 18:12 says that consulting mediums or channeling the dead is "detestable."

Many years ago, on a lark, I went with a friend to see a medium, who she swore up and down was "the real deal." I was already very leery, but since it was only $5, I decided to check her out. Even at that time, before I was a Christian, I knew that this stuff was just a bunch of malarkey, so I was going to do my best to not give her any body language clues...and my visit confirmed it!

She was so wrong about SO many things that it was all I could do not to laugh right in her face! Right there I had my own proof that she was not the real deal, and I've lived my life very happily not ever having to visit a medium again! :)

MSM Continues its assault on Palin

Yet more subtle and not so subtle ways the MSM denigrates those whom they feel are not worthy of their respect...and of course, their favorite new bashee is Sarah Palin. Here now, is:

The GOOD:

US Weekly begs subscribers not to cancel

The BAD:

the VERY UGLY:

And the downright stupid and desperate:

Looks like CNN needs to check their facts a bit closer.

And this is pretty much sums up what the MSM thinks of Mrs. Palin. *sigh*

If you think evil doesn't exist in the world, read this

Probably one of the most disturbing articles on pedophilia I've ever read. And to think this is only ONE OF MANY OUT THERE.

Married to an upper-class pedophile: How members of the [British] Establishment refused to accept my husband's depravity

Horrifying excerpt from the article:

"Describing with relish how terrified the little girl was as he began to twist her arm prior to raping her, I noticed the people with whom Took was 'chatting' [with in a pedophile chatroom] using the acronym 'LOL'. [Detective] DS Hudson told me that it meant 'laugh out loud'."

Matthew 19:14 - ..."Suffer the little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven."

MEDIA CONGLOMERATES

One of the ways that the anti-christ will undoubtedly use to control what is fed to the populous during his reign, is by complete control of the media. Make no mistake, this slide down the slippery slope has already begun, what with the MSM being so liberal that one cannot get an objective story to save one's life. As well, there are already exist a handful of global media conglomerates who control nearly every aspect of the global media. I can only assume that bit by bit, these media giants will begin merging somehow, someway, into a more controllable syndicate.

Here's a very interesting website that shows the six top media giants in painstaking detail, and how media tends to be so interconnected and incestuous: http://www.mediachannel.org/ownership/granville.shtml

Christian Militants Harm Peace Efforts

"Christian militants." The very phrase seems to be an oxymoron.

ANYONE can say they're a "christian", and many people think they are one, simply because they are not Jewish, Hindu, Muslim, etc. But apologists say that merely saying you are a Christian makes about as much sense as standing in your garage and saying that you're a car.

Now God tells us to put on the "armor of God" (Eph 6:10-17) and that Christians are in a "battle" between good and evil on this planet, but as stated in this article: "When Christians resort to illegal and militant action, they are acting no better than Islamic radicals who believe that they have to fight for God. The same spirit is working in both religions, and they end up hurting people in practice of faith."

Thanks, T.R.

Do YOU want this man a heartbeat away from the presidency??? YIKES.

And a news story.

None of which you will see much of in the MSM, mark my words.

Oh oh about the No Go on Miss O

Looks like a few people have shown their displeasure at Oprah's decision to not have on Sarah Palin until after the elections. Interesting.

Either you are for me or against me

Matthew 12:30 - "He who is not with me is against me..." a quote from Christ himself, "borrowed" at one time or another by George Bush.

I'm sure there are websites and writings out there in the ether about this very thing, but my own conclusion is this: wherever God has created something of value, something beautiful, something good, or something pure, satan will corrupt whatever it is, to bring about something of a similar, but much more malevolent, nature. He is the father of lies and deception, after all.

• God created life and mankind; satan strove to destroy both by using temptation, lies and half-truths.
• God created the healthiest and most stable of societal relationships: marriage between one man and one woman; satan's lies say that any group of people can get to gether and be called a "family."
• God specifically tells us that homosexuality is a grave sin; satan tells us that homosexuality, lesbiansm, transgenderism, etc., are just "another way of life" and they are as natural as any other, and are something to be proud of.
  
• God gave us Christ the Redeemer, and the cross; satan gave us religion.
• God told us to love all of mankind, even our enemies, and to help everyone: widows, children, and others; satan gave us ways to divide us...like politics!
• God created mankind to be above the plants and animals, and to use them for food and other things as needed. He also gave us soul and spirit that we might communicate with Him; satan says that humankind is evil, is trampling the earth, polluting the air and water, and that animals and trees have souls and are just as important as people.
• God tells us that a "quiverfull" of children is one of life's blessings; that every life, and every child, is precious, and that killing is a sin; satan tells us that overpopulation is destroying the planet, and that it is a woman's choice to kill her child in utero.
• God tells us that, because of Adam's first sin, we are all sinners to our very core, and the only way we can be redeemed is through salvation in Christ alone; satan says that all paths lead to God, to rely on our own "inner strength" and to "believe in yourself" in order to get through life.
  
• Christ says that Hell is real and without belief in Him, there is no hope; satan tells us if we're a "good person" we will go to heaven, or that if prayers are offered to someone's soul after they die, they can still get to heaven.
• We have one life to live and we will die once; satan, who masquerades as an "angel of light," deceives by telling us we can "follow the light" when we die, or that if we are a good person, our own goodness will get us to heaven, OR, we can be reincarnated over and over to amend for a previous life's sins.
• God tells us there is but one mediator between God and man, and that's Jesus Christ; satan says that it's okay to worship another human being because he is in the (very broken) "lineage" of one of Christ's disciples.
  
• God tells us to pray for others, and to be kind and loving; satan tells his followers to "kill the infidels," and masquerades as a false--and violent--"religion of peace."
  
• Christ tells us to be like little children--innocent, open and trusting--in our love for Him; satan tells his followers to bloody their own children, to offer them up for martyrdom, and to fill their minds with hatred toward anyone who is unlike them.
• Christ elevates the status of women, as in Him there is "no male and female;" satan tells his followers that women are less than second class, barely human, should cover themselves from head to toe, and can be killed for the least little offense.

So, which would you rather belong to?

What is 'proof'?

God tells us to have faith. But in our fleshly sinfulness, there is always doubt. Mankind tends to not believe unless he can actually see and touch something. Faith is hard! One of the best Biblical proofs of all is...well, tangible proof. Proof of life, proof of Biblical history and prophecies that have, are, and will, come to pass. Here are a few websites to that end:

Obama: "chronically restless"

I'm no psychologist, but I have known, and have worked for, people in my life who are classic over-achievers, usually stemming from some tragedy early in their lives, in order to prove themselves "worthy."

Barack Obama may be one of these. Along with "Frank," was any of this information acknowledged in either of his books?

"Someone once said that every man is trying to either live up to his father's expectations or make up for his father's mistakes, and I suppose that may explain my particular malady."

Planing Islamic Seeds of Hate in CHILDREN

A horrible and frightening slideshow.

If this "religion" isn't straight from the devil, I don't know what is.

JOHN 8:39-47

"Abraham is our father," they answered.

"If you were Abraham's children," said Jesus, "then you would do the things Abraham did. As it is, you are determined to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do such things. You are doing the things your own father does."
"We are not illegitimate children," they protested. "The only Father we have is God himself."

Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own; but he sent me. Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don't you believe me? He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God."

Democrats must learn some respect

Thank goodness I'm not the only one who thinks this way.

Wonderful article in the Financial Times!

Couldn't happen to a nicer couple of guys :)

WOW! Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews have actually been DEMOTED!!!

This strikes a HUGE blow to two of the most incendiary and liberal mouthpieces in the MSM! :D

"MSNBC is behaving like a heroin addict," one senior staff member observed. "They’re living from fix to fix and swearing they’ll go into rehab the next week."

And after this outburst from Olbermann on the last night of the RNC, the public backlash was undoubtedly fierce:

On the final night of the Republican convention, after MSNBC televised the party’s video "tribute to the victims of 9/11," including graphic footage of the World Trade Center attacks, Mr. Olbermann abruptly took off his journalistic hat.

"I’m sorry, it’s necessary to say this," he began. After saying that the video had exploited the memories of the dead, he directly apologized to viewers who were offended. Then, sounding like a network executive, he said it was "probably not appropriate to be shown."

This just goes to show that Olbermann is one of those "journalists" (a term I use very loosely) who jump from one crisis to the next, and 9/11 is just another "story" that's over and done with, and now should be swept under the rug.

Oooh, I can hear their egos exploding even now. :)

The Media's Plan to Destroy Palin

What scares the MSM in turn makes them behave like vicious rabid dogs.

How much time has the media devoted--in the same excruciating detail--to Joe Biden's history of plagiarism? Not nearly enough.

Great cartoons

These are a little old, but thought they were appropriate under the circumstances!

It's the black guy who is the conservative in this comic strip. :) Click each to enlarge.

At least that's what Google CEO Eric Schmidt has to say.

Hmm...I smell a kickback.

Oprah blows off Sarah Palin

I used to be an Oprah fan, back in the day when she was entertaining and informative, not as she is now, as the head of her own religion "Oprah-ism" where she tries to fix everyone and everything with her own ideas, philosophies and money. Yes, she is a very powerful force in the media, yes she is very rich, and I will say, very generous with her money, but this just show's Oprah's true color(s).

Oprah to Palin: I Can Pencil You In Later

Oprah has issued a statement to TMZ -- she won't put Sarah Palin on her show until after the election. Here's the statement: "The item in today's Drudge Report is categorically untrue. There has been absolutely no discussion about having Sarah Palin on my show. At the beginning of this Presidential campaign when I decided that I was going to take my first public stance in support of a candidate, I made the decision not to use my show as a platform for any of the candidates. I agree that Sarah Palin would be a fantastic interview, and I would love to have her on after the campaign is over." (For the record, Barack Obama has been on "Oprah" twice -- in January, 2005 and again in October, 2006 -- before he announced his run for Prez.)

One of the comments below the article states: "...Obama is the new Messiah...of Oprah's new religion that she espouses....." and it couldn't have been said more succinctly!
And I completely agree with this comment, which is probably what Oprah is hoping for: "After the election Palin will be entirely to busy as the VP to talk to Ms. O."
If Oprah were worth anything at all, she would be JUMPING at this opportunity to interview the FIRST FEMALE GOP VP CANDIDATE IN HISTORY.
But no. Not Oprah. She calls the shots, and she's as liberal as they come (and she's black, and lives in Chicago, so therefore she MUST vote for Obama, right?), so this does not surprise me.

But if you wanted to let The Big O know your own thoughts on her choice not to have Sarah Palin on her show, you can do so here.

My 2 cents: Oprah will cave like a bad souffle over this. :)

Marriage...the way it SHOULD be?

In this day and age of free and open sex, birth control, easy abortions, and little thought about consequences, the thought of an arranged marriage seems hopelessly outdated and even crazy.

However, God may have another idea. That is, if we truly follow His teachings as shown in the Bible. It's a somewhat scary prospect, but who would know better about choosing a lifelong partner for you than God himself?

So what are the real "rules" about relationships? Let's look at 1 Corinthians 7:

1Now for the matters you wrote about: It is good for a man not to marry.^[a] 2But since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband. 3The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4The wife's body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband's body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife. 5Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. 6I say this as a concession, not as a command. 7I wish that all men were as I am. But each man has his own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that.

8Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I am. But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

10To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. 11But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.

12To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. 13And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. 14For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.

. . .

25Now about virgins: I have no command from the Lord, but I give a judgment as one who by the Lord's mercy is trustworthy. 26Because of the present crisis, I think that it is good for you to remain as you are. 27Are you married? Do not seek a divorce. Are you unmarried? Do not look for a wife. 28But if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face many troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this.

. . .

32I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord's affairs—how he can please the Lord. 33But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world—how he can please his wife— 34and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord's affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world—how she can please her husband. 35I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in undivided devotion to the Lord.

36If anyone thinks he is acting improperly toward the virgin he is engaged to, and if she is getting along in years and he feels he ought to marry, he should do as he wants. He is not sinning. They should get married. 37But the man who has settled the matter in his own mind, who is under no compulsion but has control over his own will, and who has made up his mind not to marry the virgin—this man also does the right thing. 38So then, he who marries the virgin does right, but he who does not marry her does even better.^[b]

39A woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but he must belong to the Lord. 40In my judgment, she is happier if she stays as she is—and I think that I too have the Spirit of God.

Large Earthquake Could Strike New York City

It's up to you, New York, New York!

You can try to do things your way, but that may in the end be 'trumped' (pun intended!) by the earth having its own way!

How to change channel by simply waving your hand

Another step toward the intersection of humans and technology and how things can be controlled more "easily:"

Yikes...it's Ike

Ike Explodes Into 'Extremely Dangerous' Category 4 Hurricane

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,416261,00.html

Very prescient ... and a little creepy

You just KNOW that somehow, some way, SNL will get Tina Fey back for a couple shows to play Sarah Palin, right?

But here's a magazine that's already given us a sneak peek! LOL!

Wait. He said WHAT?!

And in the 'shock and awe' department, we have this:

The troop surge in Iraq has been more successful than anyone could have imagined, Barack Obama conceded Thursday in his first-ever interview on FOX News’ “The O’Reilly Factor.”

As recently as July, the Democratic presidential candidate declined to rate the surge a success, but said it had helped reduce violence in the country. On Thursday, Obama acknowledged the 2007 increase in U.S. troops has benefited the Iraqi people.

“I think that the surge has succeeded in ways that nobody anticipated,” Obama said while refusing to retract his initial opposition to the surge. “I’ve already said it’s succeeded beyond our wildest dreams.”

What planet is this???

A tale of two magazine covers

Liberal bias in the media???? Gasp! Argh! How can this be?

Oh, it be:


Find it here.

Not that I, or anyone I know, subscribe to or read this mag, but even a child could see that this is blatantly biased. The article is full of misinformation as well as information conveniently left out (such as stating that Todd Palin's DUI was 22 years ago, before he and Sarah were even married!). The editor of US Weekly was on FoxNews to try to explain the magazine...but didn't quite come across the way he probably wanted to, thanks to Fox' Megyn Kelly. :)

Pink - the color of the Dems?

Or so it seems.

So the song goes: "the freaks come out at night."

Which means our friends "Code Pink" were at it again at the RNC (courtesy Yahoo).

Here's another one, not sure if he's with Code Pink, but...he could be!

Democratic delegate : A delegate from Florida walks around the floor at the Democratic National Convention 2008 at the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado.

Um. Yeah. Nice getup. Pink seems to be the color of the day!

As if we needed another reason for a FENCE

When you have problems like this, it's time to build a fence and build it quick.

Hurricane Ike gains strength

Looks like hurricanes Hannah, Ike, and Josephine are conspiring to bring yet more storms and rain to some already very wet areas.

GREAT speeches at the RNC tonight...plus special

Sarah Palin gave a GREAT speech tonight--she was poised, on target, funny, succinct and sounded ready to take on the world! And the crowd obviously LOVED her. Speeches by Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee (whose speech I really enjoyed), Michael Steele (who I hope someday runs for office), Carly Fiorina, and Meg Whitman, were all great as well.

But the funniest part during Palin's whole speech? When the camera caught her own daughter, 6 year old Piper, being 'motherly' with her baby brother, Trig:


BEST. VIDEO. EVER.

Pictures of the 'mystery man'

My gosh. Was I ever that young? Look at these pictures, the boyfriend looks like a BABY. Very cute pictures. Talk about getting thrust into the spotlight quickly and in a VERY big way. Hope those kids can handle it (and I sure hope Levi is a Republican!). All pictures courtesy of Yahoo, with the last one from HuffPo (I gotta stop doing that!)




EDIT: some new info has come out about Levi. Not only that he's a great hockey player, but that he has said some things on his MySpace page (those things WILL come back to bite you eventually) that seem very suspect, mainly his use of an "F bomb" over and over, and his statement "I don't want kids."

Well Levi, perhaps you should have thought of that before you unzipped your pants. It takes TWO to make a baby. I'm sure you aren't ready for all of this hooplah, and a child out of wedlock, but you don't have much of a choice now, seeing as your girlfriend's mom is the potential VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

WELCOME TO THE BIG LEAGES. It's time to grow up and be a man, and show what you're really made of.
