Buttercups in the Wooly Mammouth

Gary Larsen                                                                                  SCIENCE “ It’s not necessarily a deliberate conspiracy in the sense that some people getting together in a smoke filled room and saying "we’re going to deceive people". It’s something that happens automatically within the scientific community. So when a given piece of evidence disagrees with the predominant theory, then automatically people won’t talk about it, they won’t report it and that means that science fails to progress in the way that one would hope. - Top Documentaries.Com Unfortunate that UFOTV® presents Charlton Heston's narration here.  However, whatever else you make of it, I think very few of us will disagree with the proposition that when "evidence disagrees with the predominant theory," then the media— erm, people— won't talk about it.  Were it not the case, we wouldn't have anything close to our current government. ”

Mooch’s cause celebre

STFU Michelle                  Authorized Rant

“  Let’s Move – the latest hypocrisy from the King and Queen of DoubleStandard Rule-by-Fiat-and-Innuendo.  Mooch’s cause celebre to reverse the trend of obesity and diabetes in kids within one generation so that babies being born during the last 3 years of her husband’s term can become adults who can actually see their own shoes and don’t have to listen to their arteries hardening while playing their mind-pablum video games.  She’s announced an ambitious strategy involving celebrities, government, and private organizations to get kids to become more physically active, better nourished, off their butts, and slender.  She’s building something called the “Partnership for a Healthier America” to analyze and work on the causes of childhood obesity with advertising, school curricula, athletics, food labels, and public service announcements designed to show children what foods are good for them and which ones aren’t.  (Uh . . . Duh!  Isn’t that the parents’ job?) One of the tactics is to move food-package nutrition labels to the front instead of the side or back and make the fonts larger.  Cups used at soft-drink fountain machines would announce calorie content per container, as would canned and bottled drinks.  Well, Bullshit!  I can show her how to reduce the waistlines of American kids in one generation:  just have HRH Obobo sign an EO making all mass media advertisement of foods illegal and subject to heavy fines.  I mean, good grief!  Is there a single person alive in the US today who doesn’t know where the nearest MacDonald’s or BK or Taco Bell or KFC or bodega or vending machine is located?   Anyone who has a computer or a smart fone or a TV or who rides a bus or who picks up a magazine is constantly bombarded by advertisements for burgers, fries, pizzas, colas, sugar-coated cereals, pastries, tacos, burritos, steaks, hot dogs, chips, dips, and all manner of crunchy, salty, sweet, or fat snack items.  Seems pretty obvious to me that we’ve all got the freakin message. And it’s always beautiful people, in-crowd people, slender people, fun people eating those burgers, those fries, those donuts, those chimichangas; it’s never a fat kid or some porker wearing stretch pants that she’s grown completely out of or some waddling 5-foot nothin nebbish with zits and love handles.  It’s non-stop power of suggestion.  Take away the print ads, the pop-ups, the billboards, the TV commercials for fast food and non-nutritional breakfast items like sugar-coated fluff and deep-fried cholesterol and kids will stop packin on the padding in just a few months.  And take their goddam electronic games away from ‘em and let ‘em play in the creeks, the vacant lots, the woods, the parks, even the back yard . . . let ‘em get muddy, and scratched up, and knocked on their butts and actually lose a game now and then to get a taste of reality and they might try a little harder next time . . . maybe even PRACTICE so they can get better at it.  And flunk a few of ‘em who don’t do their work in school, let ‘em repeat a grade; make getting a driver’s permit contingent on being in school with at least a C average; tell ‘em they’re definitely NOT o.k. when they turn in a paper late or don’t do homework or get half the questions wrong on a test.  Tell ‘em their delicate little fe-e-e-e-lings are the least of our friggin worries about their welfare.  Of course doing all this would require first getting rid of the teachers’ unions and watching a few kids die from accidents rather than diabetes, but if the interminable and relentless encouragement to eat all the wrong stuff were stopped and schools were re-geared to prepare kids for real skills in the real world, we’d wind up with fewer Fat Alberts and more Li’l Rascals.  We’d see kids going to doctors for busted arms and banged-up heads instead of insulin prescription readjustments and ADHD medications.  There’d be more bandages and slings than needles and tablets.  If it has really become necessary for gubmint to get involved in minimizing the obesity factor of health care, then goddamit let’s do it right and eliminate the siren call of salt, fat, and sugar from fast-food greasy spoons, cholesterol oases, and fructose emporiums.  If Their Royal Highnesses can rule by fiat without the advice, consent, and approval of Congress, then let’s call up flank speed on this attack and damn the burritos.  Incidentally, if you asked me how she really feels about the future of American children, especially the non-African ones, I'd say this pretty much sums it up:  And while they’re at it, TRH might get rid of that goddam Geico menagerie, Fred fucking Thompson’s reverse mortgage spots, and Flo Ron Metzger ”

Archer, Mentalist, White Collar

Television Series It's very hard to live productive lives when we spend 6 hours a day in a White Collar sensory deprivation tank. And 2 to 3 more hours with the Mentalist.  And (me alone) at least one hour with Archer and that's nearly a day spent with no reference to what's happening in the world.  By the By, IMDB trivia for WhiteCollar: Season 4, Episode 1 Wanted (10 Jul. 2012) I just submitted the following correction: Mozzie's (Willie Garson's) chosen alias in this episode is "Barry Soetoro," which is a play on Barack Obama. When Obama was a preteen and teen, he preferred the nickname of Barry (instead of his given name of Barack, which exposed him to bullying), and his stepfather, his mother's second husband, was named Lolo Soetoro. After Lolo legally adopted him, Barry Soetoro became Obama's legal name (and he maintains Indonesian citizenship). A wink of an alias for Mozzie. Con man Mozzie is the real star of White Collar in our opinion.  Somewhere midstream the series took on distinct undertones of Mission Impossible.  Great fun; great excitement. If you're going to watch just one Archer (on Netflix), make it this one—Heart of Darkness II.  Caution, this FX series contains strong sexual content (but no full  frontal toon nudity or penetration), and filthy langauge.  How is this shown on televison?  Yes, I know.  But, it's funny as hell. Adults only. Mother Superior has been watching The Mentalist (CBS) for months, and got me hooked in January.  As near as I can tell, nobody is streaming this series (for free, anyway); so we get by watching the 3-4 rerun episodes a week (from TNT I think),  and Sunday night's new episode.  Will you like it?  If you like Sherlock Holmes, I would think, yes.  Great fun, and excitement.

It's so big!

GAH   Fox News said Christie did finally get a standing send off, but not a good  as - take your pick (video) The National Review's Headline: Standing Ovation for Chris Christie Rasmussen says Hillary Clinton 47%, Jeb Bush 33% Blah blah blah .. Bush?  Is he seriously on any body's mind?  Except at GOP Command Central?  No.  But by extrapolating from remembrances past, I can announce that Jeb Bush will be the nominee.  For that to change, there must occur a successful assault on GOP muck-a-muckery--- PDQ! and I don't see that happening.  I'm pretty damned sure that I will not, for the first time, cast a ballot in this election unless it's for Sarah Palin. I already know what arguments to expect, and they will be proper and reasonable, but I've had it.  Because I cannot script  a comeback—a national restoration—in my mind that does not include President Palin, or civil war against a police state.  Just can't.  Wait ... where the fk are my pills?  Gdammit!

OBAMUNISM, The Party, “ I was  brutally assaulted by Egyptian authorities. Boo-fkn-Hoo   Send this letter to the Egyptian government with our demands Just the other day I hopped on a plane to Egypt, eager to join the international delegation of 100 women headed to Gaza for International Women’s Day. Little did I know I would be stopped at the Cairo airport, detained, held overnight in a cell, then in the morning brutally assaulted by Egyptian authorities. They threw me to the ground, stomped on my back, handcuffed me so tightly they dislocated my shoulder, and then deported me to Turkey. Now the Egyptian authorities are blocking most of the remaining delegates from entering Egypt and traveling to Gaza. It has been frustrating and disappointing for us, but we cannot forget that almost two million Palestinians remained trapped in Gaza while the Egyptian Rafah border remains closed or tightly controlled. What happened to me was trauma It’s hard to know what exactly is true in Benjamin’s story and what is made up. Benjamin is an anti-American, neo-communist drama queen. Her whole adult life is a study in media manipulation. A serial exaggerator, it is Benjamin’s mission in life to focus the eyeballs of humanity on herself in order to draw attention to the ugly, radical causes she supports. Malibu, California-based Code Pink, a nonprofit corporation whose formal name is Environmentalism Through Inspiration and Non Violent Action, was created as a so-called women’s “peace” group. Although the group engages in choreographed, often goofy street protests involving public toplessness, fake blood, and oversized effigies of political leaders, it is a serious extremist organization that aligns itself with America’s ruthless enemies abroad.

Coons and Commies (because it's snappy)                     Man Held on $25,000 Bond for Killing Raccoon Joseph Amico, 26, faces animal cruelty charges for hitting a raccoon with a 2x4 in Coconut Creek. This is what I'm talking about. Watch full RACCOON NATION on PBS (Intro video above).   Most of us (Americans) have never spent a day on a farm; our idea of hardscrabble life is having to put up with geezers with full carts in the express checkout line.  Cruel punishment?  I don't think so, cruel punishment would be stringing the creature up and making it listen to Nancy Pelosi.  But this isn't close to being the most bizarre thing I've seen over the past few days.  This is. "I just want everybody to have a little historic perspective. I'm not making a comparison certainly, but I am recommending that we perhaps can learn from this tactic that has been used before ..." Sarah Palin? Michelle Bachmann? No.  Hillary Clinton.  Hillary Freaking Rodham Clinton compared Vlad Putin's actions to Hitler.  Well, duh.  Putin may not be a National Socialist, but he is a movement Communist.  What of Godwin's (supposed) Law?" First one to use 'Nazi' or 'Hitler' loses?  When did that find it's way into the culture?  That's right; after people began comparing Obama's marching goons and programmed school children to the Nazis. Probably the first taste we had of Alinsky (demonize, ridicule, and discredit) from Obama.   What a joke.

Bad Behavior Military Gays

“ GAH!  Gay and lesbian troops perform in drag on American military base Troops based at the Kadena Air Base in Japan know how to party. On Saturday, six gay and straight service members applied some of their finest makeup and lip synced to "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" in what is believed to be first drag queen and king show on an American military base. The show was thrown in support for the base's recently formed OutServe-SLDN chapter, a nonprofit advocacy group for the army's LGBT community. Navy Lt. Marissa Greene told Stars and Stripes she only expected to sell 75 tickets for the variety show, but ended up selling more than 400 in ten days. The event went through the same approval process as other on-base fundraisers go through, with the only caveat being that it was not allowed to be labeled a "drag show" in its publicity materials. The show was warmly received by spectators, who rocked out to performances by the likes of Manny Nuff and Chocolate Sunrise ("a crowd favorite," the website notes.) Just a few years ago, performances like these would have been grounds for a possible discharge. The repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell has made it possible for events like this to occur. --Jordan Valinsky This left-leaning San Francisco style homosexual culture—in-your-face homosexual culture— is repugnant to me. For starters, public display of affection ought end with your last drunk-ass fraternity party, let alone public buggery.  Srsly.  Plus, it's a good bet that the real majority are, like me, sick of bad behavior from what's likely a tyrannical minority of minorities,  whether it's gays, whiny college brats, Hispanics, Blacks, or anthropogenic global warming alarmists. Our military have 238 years of tradition, and while I am pissed that Obama took it upon himself to dictate new gay policy, it's a fait accompli.  But, for chrisake,  how about trying to maintain some military bearing.  Learn to behave yourselves, and respect other people.  There were the "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence" as they called themselves, Drag Queens dressed as nuns, and the Janus Society, who believe sadomasochism should be the order of the day.  The slogans were interesting.  I saw signs, pictures, T-shirts that said, "2, 4, 6, 8, MANY OF US AREN'T STRAIGHT," said by CALIFORNIA TEACHERS ASSOC., bragging about HOMOSEXUALITY BEING TAUGHT IN THE CLASSROOMS IN FRONT OF YOUR CHILDREN.  One man carried a sign that said, "I WANT TO SHOWER WITH A TERRIFIED MARINE."  Another carried a sign showing a man masturbating and they intended to have a pun, tongue-in-cheek, on the subject of stopping AIDS.  It was a "Stop AIDS project."  So they showed the picture of the man masturbating with the sign saying "BEAT IT LONG!  BEAT IT HARD!  BEAT IT GOOD!  BEAT AIDS!"  Get it? ”

Kate Smith

Rediscovering Our Greatness GOD BLESS AMERICA  “This video starts out with Kate Smith coming into the radio studio with the orchestra and an audience. She introduces the new song for the very first time, and starts singing. After the first couple verses, with her voice in the background still singing, scenes are shown from the 1940 movie, “You’re In The Army Now.” At the 4:20 mark of the video you see a young actor in the movie, sitting in an office, reading a paper – it’s Ronald Reagan. Frank Sinatra considered Kate Smith the best singer of her time, and said when he and a million other guys first heard her sing “God Bless America”on the radio, they all pretended to have “dust in their eyes” as they wiped away a tear or two… (So, in case you get ‘dust in your eyes” have some tissues handy. I did)” from israpundit. More of this story, via M. Franciois The time was 1940.  America was still in a terrible economic depression. Hitler  was taking over Europe, and Americans were afraid we'd have to go to war. It was a time of hardship and worry for most Americans. This was the era just before TV, when radio shows were HUGE, and American families sat around their radios in the evenings, listening to their favorite entertainers, and no entertainer of that era was bigger than Kate Smith. Kate was also large; plus size, as we now say, and the popular phrase still used today is in deference to her, "It ain't over till the fat lady sings". Kate  Smith might not have made it big in the age of TV, but with her voice coming  over the radio, she was the biggest star of her time. Kate was also patriotic.  It hurt her to see Americans so depressed and afraid of what the next day would bring. She had hope for America, and faith in her fellow Americans. She wanted to do something to cheer them up, so she went to the famous American song-writer, Irving Berlin (who also wrote "White Christmas") and asked him to write a song that would make Americans feel good again about their country.  When she described what she was looking for, he said he had just the song for her. He went to his files and found a song that he had written, but never published, 22 years before - way back in 1917. He gave it to and she worked on it with her studio orchestra.  She and Irving Berlin were not sure how the song would be received by the public, but both agreed they would not take any profits from God Bless America. Any profits would go to the Boy Scouts of America. Over the years, the Boy Scouts have received millions of dollars in royalties from this song. This video starts out with Kate Smith coming into the radio studio with the orchestra and an audience. She introduces the new song for the very first time, and starts singing. After the first couple verses, with her voice in the background still singing, scenes are shown from the 1940 movie, "You're In The Army Now."  At the 4:20 mark of the video you see a young actor in the movie, sitting in an office, reading a paper; it's Ronald Reagan. To this day, God Bless America stirs our patriotic feelings and pride in our country.  Back in 1940, when Kate Smith went looking for a song to raise the spirits of her fellow Americans, I doubt whether she realized just how successful the results would be for her fellow Americans during those years of hardship and worry..... and for many generations of Americans to follow.  Now that you know the story of the song, I hope you'll enjoy it and treasure it even more.  Many people don't know there's a lead in to the song since it usually starts with "God Bless America....." So here's the entire song as originally sung. And pass the ammunition ... ”

RIP Jim Caesar

James M. Caesar December 11, 1945 - February 13, 2014 Bothell, Washington  Good morning--my update this time is a difficult one for me to write.  My darling Jim died in his sleep early the morning of February 14th while we were on Kauai to celebrate the 50th anniversary of our engagement on that day.  He was in excellent health, vigorous and full of good humor until the very end.  His final words to me before we went to sleep were "I love you."  He just did not awaken. It gives me great solace to know that he will be forever young.  Jim's funeral and internment will be at Arlington Cemetery, with full military honors.  However, it will be some months down the road--there is a waiting list for grave sites abt 4 months long.  Until then, his rests in a facility known as a  the Solders' Shelter which is near Arlington.  I will of course be back there for the final ceremonies--perhaps I can see you at that time.  And you are of course welcomed and encouraged by me and my family to attend.  I will send more information when it is available to me.  Jim and I so much cherished the opportunity life gave us to be your neighbors--what luck!  Love,  Betsy Awarded for actions during the Vietnam War The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 2, 1926, takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to Captain James M. Caesar, United States Army, for heroism while participating in aerial flight evidenced by voluntary actions above and beyond the call of duty. Captain Caesar distinguished himself by exceptionally valorous actions while serving as aircraft commander in the wing ship of a light fire team of helicopter gunships in support of Allied ground elements near Fire Support Base Five. Captain Caesar voluntarily flew his aircraft against heavily fortified enemy small arms and anti-aircraft positions. Despite the intense barrage of fire, Captain Caesar continually made close runs, in extremely poor visibility and hazardous terrain, to place highly effective and accurate rocket fire on the hostile positions. Captain Caesar displayed outstanding leadership abilities, directing his co-pilot's fire to suppress the enemy positions and at the same time covering the vulnerable lead aircraft. His previous combat experience enabled him to comprehend the friendly elements plight and assist them in finding cover from the attacking enemy. His outstanding skill as an aviator allowed him to successfully complete the mission. Captain Caesar's courage, professionalism, and devotion to duty were in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit and the United States Army. General Orders: Citation Courtesy of the Distinguished Flying Cross Society - www.dfcsociety.org Action Date: Vietnam War Service: Army Rank: Captain Mo Sup checked her e-mail late last night and found this from an old neighbor, and still good friend, Betsy Caesar.  I still haven't quite wrapped my head around it. Meeting Jim and Betsy was something of a serendipitous accident. With Jim's tour in Germany ending, he announced his intention to retire when his current enlistment was up.  He had to choose a stateside home of record from whence he would be processed, and where their household belongings would be sent. Since they were from the Seattle area, Jim wrote "Washington."  Jim was given orders to report to his new home: Fort Meade MD (just outside of Washington D.C.) Jim found a job test piloting, and they purchased a home next to ours.  Our good fortune.  Later Jim was offered a job with Boeing, in Seattle, and off they went, but would visit us several times. I can't let Jim go without offering this small paean to his memory.  RIP Jim.

Big Cheese, Stilton Jarlsberg, is at it again

 The Big Cheese, Stilton Jarlsberg, is at it again.

Once again, America's chicken has come home to roost. Barack Obama's utterly spineless response to Russian military action in Ukraine has pretty much signaled to the world that the United States is officially no longer a meaningful player in foreign affairs and no advocate for freedom or democracy.

The president's appalling lack of seriousness was on full display when, less than a half hour after tersely declaring that Russian intervention in Ukraine could force the United States to "stand with the international community in affirming there will be costs, including shipping, handling, and sales tax," he rushed to a Democratic fundraiser, declared it to be "Happy Hour," and then swapped jokes with a high-roller about the possibility of nuclear war with Russia.

Then on Saturday, as a freshly-emboldened Russia rolled additional troops into Ukraine, the president's national security team met to discuss the rapidly evolving crisis and, upon finishing their deliberations, noticed that there was one Krispy Kreme doughnut left over because Barry hadn't bothered to attend the meeting. Although, according to a White House spokesperson, the president was later filled in by Susan Rice, who suggested that the president launch a drone attack on YouTube as soon as possible.

Vladimir Putin has correctly assessed that there is no threat whatsoever from the president whose "red line" became a punchline. Barack Obama has turned our once-respected national strength into an international joke.

And it's only the enemies of freedom who are laughing.
