Halloween in Texas – Now Every Weekend!
October 30, 2010 | Author robot
Here’s a Halloween story for you. The judicial system in Texas has been breeding…
Wait for it…
I’m speaking of the recent development that Texas has adopted a policy of no-refusal every weekend, meaning that you are subject to forced blood test if an officer deems you intoxicated and you refuse a breathalyzer.
This is the ultimate intrusion into personal space and private property that has ever occurred. For refusing a breathalyzer, a needle will forcibly penetrate your skin, which has now become the ultimate line of demarcation between you and The State.
Subjects, your overlords demand that you give involuntary testimony in the form of a blood sample. It’s the ultimate truth serum! Except that it can be manipulated. Who trusts their government anymore? Do they really need this much control? Really? Without proof of a crime being committed a person is to be forced to testify, against his will, against himself! Before even a lawyer can be called? What happened to the Fifth Amendment? Fourth Amendment?
Do you feel like cattle yet?
Not boo, but moo.
The ACLU of Texas in 2009, had this to say:
The ACLU of Texas sees the Austin program as part of a disturbing trend occurring all over the state: Law enforcement use of search warrants to obtain blood from drunken driving suspects. The Austin Police Department recently announced the first “no refusal” weekend as a pilot program which APD plans to repeat on other holiday weekends such as New Year’s Eve.
“Utilizing officers’ time to transport and force Texas drivers who refuse a Breathalyzer test to get their blood drawn isn’t good use of police resources,” said Russell. “Moreover, it does little to help build the much-needed trust between APD and the community because inevitably there will be stories of physical abuse with implementation of this program,” Russell added.
Police have said the program will work this way: Motorists who fail field sobriety tests will be arrested and taken to a mobile unit equipped to give Breathalyzer exams. If suspects refuse, they will be taken to Travis County Jail where a magistrate will be on duty to issue a warrant for blood tests, administered by force if necessary.
Chemical tests don’t lie, after all [sarc]. The problem is, they can be manipulated, as we’ve seen many times such as in the recent Houston crime lab fiasco, in San Francisco, Detroit, and most recently in North Carolina. to name just a few.
Given these abuses of power, how can we give them more? Do any of us actually think they need more power? Why should they have more cameras, more Matrix? More! More! More! our government screams they need tools to protect us from ourselves.
Enough, I say. Enough!
If the State is that worried about stopping crime, control the freaking border! Oh, but wait. There’s no money in that, is there? Instead we have a racket of insurance and courts and lawyers with the MADD mothers being useful tools in the erosion of our rights. After all, who isn’t against drunk driving? If you protest the intrusion of the state you must be a law breaker or a kook!
We have met the enemy and it is a Vampire Government unrestrained by the people who gave it power.
Where is my wooden stake?

Quote of the Week
October 29, 2010 | Author robot
Goes to the blogger known as Editor, who operates the blog Spellchek. Editor has written a very good piece in which he asks us to compare liberty as it existed in 1776 to the “liberty” we experience in America today.
An excerpt:
By any measure, we now live under a shadow of what liberty once was. Everything is relative and we accept a much lower standard to still call us free. The Constitution is now called outdated. We are told our society has evolved and that the principles outlined in the Constitution no longer apply to a modern society. All of these scenarios were pre-warned by the Founders. They wrote it down. They relayed it in speeches. This is why many are so incredulous that this is happening to our country today. The warnings were issued and history has shown us that the template has been followed to a tee. Of course, today we have an astounding wealth of information at our fingertips about the subject, yet it is still a debate.
How is it that we still debate the definition of liberty? Our government and educational system have done us all a grave disservice by ceasing to teach the principles upon which this country was founded. Yet there are still those who understand what true liberty means and the threats it must endure.
Liberty will never exist unmolested. The more free we are, the more some will want to take it away. It was never a matter of declaring it and just being done with it. So many of us have no concept of what true liberty is or ever was…
Editor then explores a short scenario of what it may take to regain the liberty as defined by the Founders in our Constitution. An excellent read indeed. But don’t take my word for it.
See for yourself. Spellchek: Liberty 1776 vs. 2010

LeAnn Rimes & Joss Stone Get Funky
October 29, 2010 | Author robot
The robot is in a funky mood today. Funk in a good, R & B kind-of way. Time to dig on some LeAnn Rimes & Joss Stone from CMT Crossroads. This is the full show. It will play the first song (which kicks butt, BTW). If you want the rest, you’ll have to install the Veoh player. I did. Nothing bad happened.
Oh, this could be considered a Rule 5 post as these two are definitely hot.
What say you, Smitty?

I’m sure Miss Angle will respond with the class she has already shown to Mzzz. Beehair. It could be that was Joy’s ploy all along. She wanted more flowers! Yea, that must be it.
Ahem. Joy, hon, you get more flies with honey, honey. But in your case, I’m not so sure.
Anyhoo, I’ve created a little game we can all play while we wait fir the next salvo. Rules are prescribed below. En-joy.

Ruth McClung Monday Money Bomb
October 25, 2010 | Author robot
I missed donating to a candidate this past Friday and felt a bit of loss at not having made that weekly donation. So I was thankful that Instapundit gave me a method to relieve my stress. A Monday Money Bomb for Ruth McClung, the rocket scientist running in Arizona’s CD-7!
Hey, thanks for the heads-up, Mr. Reynolds. who also notes that , according to an article at Gateway Pundit, there may be some major voter fraud being attempted in Ruth’s district.
Ruth needs our help to defeat these leftist shenanigans.

What do you think the Second Amendment is for? Stephen Broden was interviewed by CBS and appeared to back away from some earlier statements he made while stating a violent uprising “is not the first option,“ but it is ”on the table.”
Here’s a comment I left at Bonzai from the Right, who has the video:
I’m disappointed that Pastor Broden is backing away from his earlier statements. (Or is that a bit of clever video editing?) He was right! I’m also surprised that no-one is bringing up the fact that the threat of a violent uprising is exactly why we have a Second Amendment. Take violence off the table and you have surrendered. That being said, violence is and should be, a last resort, after all constitutional measures are exhausted.
I also think, on the other hand, Mark Adams may be correct in his prediction. Either way, it doesn’t bode well for civil society.
In the coming days, the left will do all they can to paint Pastor Broden as extreme. Knowing that, let me ask you, does this woman look like an extremist to you?

A favorite of mine for ump-teen bazillion years, David Lindley is a musician’s musician. If it has strings on it, this guy can play it.

Here’s a studio cut my band used to perform back in the stone-age.
And BTW, I’ve added a link to Bob’s excellent post of a day or so ago “Rush Sounds The Clarion Call” to the Prime page on this blog. It is most worthy of your attention.
If you know any lilly-livered Republicans who are raising the “I’ll work with Obama” flag, you might just pass that link along to them.

Democrats Still Drooling Over Your 401(k)
October 19, 2010 | Author robot
Here we go again.
That paragon of economic virtue, Teresa Ghilarducci has surfaced once more to expound the benefits of the government taking over seizing confiscating stealing your 401k “for your own good.” I wrote about this little banshee back in May, after O’biden made a slip of the tongue with regard to their plans for redistributing your retirement nest egg. Now, it appears she has been gaining ground with her arguments because, as Doug Ross points out, it’s not off the table. In fact, your 401k may be part of the main course for the upcoming lame duck session of Congress.
Doug writes:
…I am not a conspiracy theorist. But I can put two and two together. Earlier this evening Papa B pointed me to an oozing secretion from the Puffington Roast, which markets the idea that 401(k) retirement savings accounts are evil and should be abolished.
He goes on to detail Mzzz. Ghilarducci’s well laid plans to confiscate your dough.
Guilarducci and the Democrats are advocating legalized theft of the juicy trillions of dollars Americans have saved in their retirement plans. Nationalizing those accounts would support massive new spending programs plus payoff the unions and crony capitalists looking for more bailouts at the “workers’” expense.
Please do read the whole thing. Then listen to the interview she gave with Mark Levin in October of 2008. It’s linked in the Doug Ross article but just in case, here is the link again.
I also find it worth noting that:
Mz. Ghilarducci was named by US News and World report as the Most Dangerous Woman in America back in 2008. It appears they may have been on to something.
And, Mz. Ghilarducci “at times” has been a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, a fact noted in their National Political Committee meeting minutes of Sept. 28-29, 2009 as being considered for Vice Chair. – Thanks Wikipidia.
Keep your eyes peeled, folks. They’re not done by a long shot.
But neither are we.
UFO’s Over El Paso and New York – Video
October 19, 2010 | Author robot
Not to be left out of the UFO controversy, here’s video of the El Paso UFO’s from 10/18.
CBS posted this video of a similar triangle pattern from New York on 10/13/10. They disabled the embedding so, here is a news story that shows some shorter length footage.
What do you think? Balloons? Aliens? Distraction? War of the Worlds?
Isn’t there a new space invaders movie coming out in a few weeks?
Color me skeptical.
UPDATE: UFO mystery solved? Maybe for New York, but what about El Paso? And how to explain the recurring triangle pattern? Three points are by definition, a triangle. Is it mere coincidence that the pattern repeats in El Paso?
Maybe Mythbusters should call in Obama for another episode.
Obama to Appear on “Mythbusters”
October 18, 2010 | Author robot
How ironic is this?
And what do you mean by “appear?” Is he going to emerge from a mythical, magical cloud of smoke? Since they’ve already announced it, they kind of blew that surprise though, don’t you think?
But I guess it is an option.
Via the Christian Science Monitor comes the headline:
“Obama on ‘MythBusters’: Will he get to blow something up?”
I would have edited that to read “Will he get to blow something else up?” especially after the last year and a half with he, Pelosi, Reid and the whole Hee-Haw gang of Democrats having presided over the destruction of what remained of our Constitution.
Never mind the facts though. The CSM staff is giddy, giddy with excitement.
We can’t wait – will Obama wear a toga? Will he hold up a big magnifying glass and light fire to a sheet of poll numbers to show the gang how it’s done?
Sheesh. I bet given the chance, he’d light The Bill of Rights with that magnifying glass and use it to light a cigarette.
OOPS! Look what I did! Tee Hee Hee. Oh well, time for a smoke break.
Here’s an idea that will never happen: Howsabout we take that magnifying glass and examine that mythical birth certificate? Hmmm? Let’s put those years of mythbusting to some actual use. But alas, that ain’t gonna happen. I wouldn’t believe anything that came out of their leftie little mouths anyway.
Still, there are endless possibilities and mysteries to be explored. They could hook him up to one of their lie detectors, but then again, I’m quite sure the polygraph machine couldn’t take so much abuse. There just isn’t that much room on those graphs for the required squiggling needle movement.
Bzzzzt. flappt. Ping!
Where did YOUR campaign contributions come from Mr. Obummer, sir? hmm?
Uhhh, Uhhh…
Is it true that you are secretly a Muslim?
Umm, er Uhh…
How many hospitals have you claimed to be born in? Hmmm?
Uhhh. Uhhmm. Well.
Which one was it really? Was it Kenya perhaps?
Uhh. I er um.
How about those communist connections with Frank Marshall Davis and Harry Bridges in Hawaii or Bill Ayers in Chicago?
Michelle, help!
Yes, these mysteries and more could be explored and the myths surrounding the man could be busted, but it isn’t going to happen.
One thing is sure. I won’t be watching.
I’m busy.

Political Writers’ Block – Party
October 17, 2010 | Author robot
I’ve been at a loss lately for some topic for an essay. Maybe not so much at a loss as much as experiencing a bit of burn out. Here’s a stream-of-consciousness piece I wrote trying to break the blockage:
Writer’s block party!
Everyone is invited, of course. I’ll let you guys start the conversation since lately I’m kind of at a loss with what to discuss.
Well, since you ask; the way I see it, you can only say Obama sucks in so many ways. Besides, if you haven’t chosen a side by now, in this political climate, you are purposefully ignoring the gravity of the situation here in America. And if you are still on the leftist side, there’s nothing I can say to you that will change your mind. Lefties are a lost cause as far as I’m concerned. The evidence is there. Ample evidence. You lefties just choose to ignore it or worse, actually want to tear this country apart at the seams, which, in either case makes you an enemy of freedom and a traitor to this country. Aiding and abetting the destruction of my country is not something I take lightly.
I recon I’m going to lose a few friends in the near future but lines have been drawn long ago that must be beaten back. We can quibble all day long about libertarian versus conservative. Hell, even old school liberal versus republican, but when push comes to shove, if a person today sides with the Democraps, they are an enemy of the Constitution and by inference, the people of this country.
Come November 3rd, we will have a new kind of country, one in which a goodly number of people have awakened. The new electorate will have yet to be sworn in and I wonder on the rashness and brashness of the existing aristocracy and how much damage they have yet to do. Once, I made an Automotivator that stated making Obama and his congress a lame duck would be the best that could happen. I have to retract that statement in this case. Pelosi, Reid, Obama, Greyson and their ilk have proven time and again they have no shame and will stop at nothing to wrest control of the country from the people. I worry that they will, after a sweeping Conservative victory this November, get vindictive over their coming loss of power and push through more destruction of our Constitution. Worse yet, is the possibility of stolen elections. I don’t hear much of that in the sources I keep up with but I put nothing past these criminals.
Yep, we’ve got a lot of work to do. We really have yet to get started. It’s like watching a bad contractor tear up your house only, in this case, we have to wait until their contract is up until we can fire them. Why is that? Why can’t we at least expunge these bastards right after the election. At least in a contractor’s case you could fire them and get them off of your property before they can do more damage. It would be nice to tie their hands so they could cause no more damage is all. I know what I speak of is not allowed in the constitution, just wishful thinking and impatience on my part.
That’s my rant for the day. I feel better. How about you?
I’ve got a football game in my near future and a baseball game this evening as well, so…
If you have a notion, stop by Wyblog, my Jersey buddy Chris Wysocki’s place, and congratulate him for getting picked by PJTV’s Vodkapundit, Stephen Green, for the number 4 spot on blog headline of the week!
Way to go Chris!
As a bonus to the ‘bot, Chris was recently kind enough to put the Socia.list graphic up there top, front and left on his blog. Now that graphic has been seen by ten’s of thousands or millions! You keep on keepin’ on, Chris. I’ll take your stragglers any day.
If you recall, Chris was also recently picked as a contributor to Right Wing News. The hits, as they say, just keep comin’ for Chris. We’re proud of you buddy. Keep up the great work!

TBF Congratulates Ruth McClung
October 15, 2010 | Author robot
Another conservative lady comes to Arizona’s defense, and by doing so, America’s as well. Ruth McClung is a physicist who is concerned about the direction of our country, not a career politician, concerned with lining their pockets.
…I cannot stand on the sidelines when politicians in Washington (like my opponent) are grabbing control of our personal freedoms, wrecking our economy, recklessly spending our money, and destroying America’s greatness. We need to return to limited government, personal responsibility and integrity, a strong work ethic, and opportunity for all. The American dream is to be self reliant and work to achieve the life that you want, not live off the government.
As a nation, we face many complex challenges requiring innovative solutions. My technical knowledge and expertise in scientific problem solving will be valuable in solving these problems. I will take strong, decisive stands on border security and immigration, curbing out-of-control government debt, and promoting job creation through a free market economy. I am committed to limiting our government and defending our Constitution. Working as a physicist, I understand the importance of finding the right solution instead of causing new problems. Maybe it does take a rocket scientist.
Ruth

Featured Blog: Pundit & Pundette
October 12, 2010 | Author robot
The next featured blog has been a favorite of mine since before the Robot was a stray synapse in my tin-clad head. Like many of you, I admire Pundit & Pundette’s style, straight forward nature and spot-on commentary. To me, it reads less like a blog than a news site with a bit of a smirk. Perusing P & P, I feel like I’m perhaps sitting at an outdoor cafe, discussing the day’s events over coffee with some snarky friends.
An excerpt from “TIME columnist admits we were right about Obama”
Mark Halperin of TIME magazine can just barely make out the real Barack Obama from his house:
With the exception of core Obama Administration loyalists, most politically engaged elites have reached the same conclusions: the White House is in over its head, isolated, insular, arrogant and clueless about how to get along with or persuade members of Congress, the media, the business community or working-class voters… [snip]
Isolated, insular, arrogant, and clueless. Well, that’s a start. Let’s not forget narcissistic, thin-skinned, unscrupulous, polarizing, and socialist.
Whoa. Don’t hold back there, Jill. How do you really feel?
All kidding aside, I agree with her assessment one-thousand percent. I also happen to like the way she gets her point across. Like this morning’s post:
Are we talking about the President of the United States or Justin Bieber? I was going to ask whatever happened to the dignity of the office, but then I remembered Bill Clinton.
And I was going to ask if Bill Clinton was aware of his punching-bag status, but then I remembered he’s married to Hillary.
Wait, did I just steal an analogy method from Jill?
Yes I did.
Imitation is, after all, the highest form of flattery.
We can also be thankful that Pundette keeps people like Virginia Ironside front and center. Is Mzzz. Ironside the type of person who would presume to sit on the Obamacare health care panels and decide whether or not we get medical treatment? If you answered no, you should take a deeper look into Obama’s Cabinet appointments. This is what passes for compassion in those “educated” circles:
[Ironside]: ‘If a baby’s going to be born severely disabled or totally unwanted, surely an abortion is the act of a loving mother.’
[Pundette]: It’s a cold, cold arrogance which, after a look into the future, considers the following issues for others and decides on the death sentence:
Does your life have intrinsic value? No.
Because you may suffer for years, should you desire to continue living? No.
Is your death preferable to X amount of suffering, as perceived by me? Yes.
Can suffering have redeeming value for the sufferer? No.And let’s not pretend that the advice columnist’s “good mother” doesn’t have a conflict of interest. Her own suffering, that ultimate evil in Ironside’s world, is surely part of the equation as she ponders the destruction of her child.
Jill then adds a “palate cleanser” and some further background on the “loving mother.” The entire article begs for your attention.
She can also spot a great quote when she sees one.
When it comes to school reform, I’m with John Derbyshire:
Here is my prescription for a reform of the nation’s education system. First, destroy all the schools. Cart away the rubble for landfill and sow the ground with salt. Abolish the federal Department of Education and all state equivalents. End all education funding from public sources.
Pundit and Pundette is a site that has proved it’s worth time and time again in the realm of analysis, commentary and aggregation of news from across the political spectrum. It’s written with a style that feels like home cooking and I love the smell of freshly brewed snark in the morning…
If you haven’t already done so, be sure to bookmark Pundit and Pundette.
Add P & P to your blogrolls, and visit P & P at least once a day. You’ll be glad you did.
Be sure to let them know a rusty tin man sent you.
Robot’s Ponytail In Absentia
October 10, 2010 | Author robot
Longhaired Conservative no more.
I meant to send off this little caterpillar a month ago, right after I had it cut. It evidently had other plans. I just found the tin-foil it was wrapped in tucked behind some other things on the to-do list, hiding. Maybe some kid will enjoy having salt and pepper hair. I suspect they’ll dye it, or take one look at that mass of stuff and chunk it.
Wigs for Kids is an organization that makes wigs for children who lose their hair due to some medical treatment or disease, similar to Locks of Love. They provide the wigs free of charge but each wig takes around $2000 to produce. If you can make a donation, I’m absolutely positive it would be appreciated.
I had a time picking which to donate to. It came down to a coin toss and Wigs for Kids got the nod.
Back to house work. I’m a Domesticated Robot this weekend. Mom should be proud.
Quick Notes and Random Thoughts
October 9, 2010 | Author robot
Some random thoughts before I commence on the weekend duties:
I see that Joel Demos won the TBF poll this week. I’ll be donating to his campaign shortly.
From Joel’s website:
I cannot sit still while our country goes down a road that has proven to lead to financial ruin. For my children and yours, my family has decided to embark on this journey to help restore some sanity to Washington.
Thanks to Right Klik for running the Ten Buck Fridays poll and Conscientiously Conservative for coming up with the original concept. Great work both of you and the over 80 bloggers who participate. Speaking of CC, I just looked and realized, she’s not on my blogroll! DOH!
Wait a second while I correct that omission.
While I’m on the subject of blogroll, There are a couple of additions you may be interested in: Holding the Line in Texas, and Fleece Me, who was kind enough to link to the Socia.list page.
We’re down to the last few weeks of the campaign season. Is it just me or do any of you feel a bit burned out from all of the politics? I know I am. Not being a career political junkie or reporter, this season has got to be the most focused I’ve ever been on politics. It wears on a robot. I need a good lube job. And a shot of rum. How do the politicians do it? Are they all on coke?
After the election, I’m going to form a new band or at least join one. I’m feeling the urge to beat on some skins and stretch out the vocal chords. I’ve definitely got some frustration that needs venting. Not sure how much of those happenings I’ll post on this blog though, as some people are more interested in politics than music and I like my political anonymity. I may have to start another, just to separate the two. Or maybe another page on this one. It’s up in the air for now. We’ll see.
For the rest of the weekend, posting may be lite. My freaking DSL is on the fritz again. Come this Tuesday, that problem will hopefully be solved. The ‘bot is going to cable. Buh-Bye ATT with your dropped service every 5 minutes and a ten minute post taking an hour to complete. Also, my house needs cleaning and the studio needs some maintenance. Bottom line is, it’s just too pretty outside to spend dealing with an off and on internet connection, so there you have it.
Speaking of music, here’s one of my faves from the Doobies:
Enjoy your weekend, my friends.

Extraterrestrials Secretly Abduct Robot, Empty Liquor Cabinet
October 6, 2010 | Author robot
After much contemplation, a lot of hand-wringing analysis of the site stats, and a few beers, I’ve come to the conclusion that Bob Belvedere is right. I have a problem titling my posts. See, I’m stoopid. I was under the impression that people might actually be interested, even a bit PO’d to find out the identities of the insidious Socialists in their State Governments, but I guess not. (Those of you who shared the posts are of course not included.)
The socialists at the national level? Who needs to search for those? They are on TV and the intertoobz every day. I can’t turn on my radio without hearing Obummer spouting off about his latest Baracklishment, and after the HealthCare jam-down, anyone who is remotely sane has already put names to their particular demons.
So, where are you going with this ‘bot?
Glad you asked.
From now on, I’m going to strive to be more creative, more exciting, tantalizing, even titillating with my headlines.
For instance, I think the “1000+ Socialists in State Governments” post could have been helped with some more panache’. How about:
“Beer Swilling Space Aliens Take Over Capitol!”
No? OK, let’s try to inject a bit more sex.
“Big Breasted Babes Danger to Mother Gaia!”
“Massive Melons Threaten to Tip Earths Axis!”
“Cleavage Crisis Widens! Enviro-Mentalists Urge Ban on Silicone!”
That one should start a riot or two.
Here’s one for the “Twilight” crowd:
“Deadly Vampire Swamp Creatures Invade New Hampshire! Ignore At Your Own Peril!” (Some may be more truthful than others.)
Sure, they have no relevance to the article. So what? The New York Times and National Enquirer get away with overblown hype every day. People want entertainment. They don’t want the truth. The majority of them wouldn’t know the truth if an America-hating Commie/Muslim was in the White House stealing trillions from them for his personal slush fund and trashing the nation’s sovereignty while smacking them in the face with a Ground Zero Mosque! To them I say, careful what you ignore. In today’s day and age, what you don’t know can and will kill you.
Hope you’ve enjoyed today’s rant. I was really pissed off when I started this. Now I’m only slightly flustered.

New Page: Socia.list
October 4, 2010 | Author robot
Lately, we bloggers have been focused on the national elections in our attempts to reclaim and restore our Constitutional Republic. The people who belong to the Progressive States Network are working against that goal at all levels, including the State Legislatures.
As noted in the previous post, 1000 Progressives in State Governments,
The PSN is a network of Progressive organizations that share Obama’s goal of the ‘fundamental transformation of America’
and as noted on the new Socia.list page, the members of the PSN Board of Directors include a bonafide “who’s-who” of Progressive/Socialist/Communist thought.
The Socia.list is depressingly long.
It shows just how much work we have to do to vote these people out and restore sanity to our Republic, but it can be done. Here’s how, as I see it:
1. Make note of who your representatives are along with their opponents.
2. Get that list to your TEA Party and Republican Party leaders for distribution.
3. Get out the vote!
4. Watch the Progressives lose office on Nov. 2.
5. Rest a bit.
6. Get back to work!
There are still some Progressives left, but we will have hopefully ousted enough to make the rest fear for their jobs. Go forth and strengthen the organizations you’ve joined and or started. Two years remain before we can truly turn the ship of state in the right direction, towards a restoration of our Founding Principles and a Constitutional Republic.
The new Socia.list page can be found at the top of the blog, just under the masthead and to the right of the Shoppe tab.
More info on the PSN from a few of my blogging brethren:
Getting To Know Your Michigan Candidates
The Progressive States Network: What you need to know
Progressive States Network – Immigration
Progressive States Network: Distorting the Electoral Process?
The Progressive States Network: Undermining Liberty one State at a Time
The Progressive States Network: Exploiting the Crisis that Progressives Caused?
Progressive States Network: National Popular Vote
————————————–
Thanks to Steve from Texas Pixel Magic and Libertarian Buddha for the Socia.list graphics.

Rule 5 Saturday: Save the Tatas Edition
October 2, 2010 | Author robot
Today we remember that it’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In order to help my readers in prioritizing the significance of the event, I’ve chosen a few appropriate photos which, in addition to the national campaign, I hope will also serve as a reminder of a friend whom we all miss dearly.
Is it “who” or “whom” in that context? I never can remember.
At any rate, on with the post.
This being Rule 5 Saturday, and pink being the color chosen for Save the Tata’s Month, this two part theme will be of a very pinkish hue. I’ll let the loyal reader guess as to the identity of the person I seek to honor and send well wishes to, because they have specifically asked to receive no undue attention.
As usual, some of these embiggin with near life-size results.
We pause for a little Rule 5 for the ladies:

TBF Congratulates Dale Glading!
October 2, 2010 | Author robot
With thanks to Right Klik:
Ten Buck Fridays congratulates Dale Glading on his victory in this week’s TBF poll.
Here’s a little background information on Mr. Glading:
Dale Glading, 50, is the Founder and Executive Director of The Saints Prison Ministry. Headquartered in Moorestown, New Jersey, “The Saints” is the largest athletic prison ministry in the country with branch offices in Charlotte, NC, and Colorado Springs, CO…
A lifetime resident of South Jersey, Dale earned a Bachelor of Science degree with summa cum laude honors in Community Recreation from Temple University in 1981. He served as Recreation Director at the Wiley Christian Retirement Community for 10 years before entering full-time ministry with The Saints in 1994. During his years at Wiley, Dale developed a deep empathy for seniors and an understanding of the issues that concern them most…
Dale Glading on the issues: (excerpts)
It is time that the career politicians in Washington stopped trying to buy votes with taxpayers’ money and learned to live within their means instead. That is why I support Rep. Mike Pence’s proposed Balanced Budget Amendment that limits government spending to 20% of the GDP. I have also endorsed Rep. Todd Tiahrt’s bill to place a moratorium on all federal earmarks…
When I think about education, I consider two very important factors. The first is that our children are our most precious treasures as well as the greatest “natural resource” that America has. Second, competition breeds excellence in every area of life, including education.
That’s why I strongly support the idea of school choice. Failing schools shouldn’t be rewarded with a locked-in clientele, and children suffering in underperforming schools shouldn’t be relegated to receiving a substandard education simply because of where they live…
…how about lowering the corporate tax rate which is currently the second highest in the world? That would make American companies more competitive internationally and provide business owners with the capital they need to expand and hire more workers.
And while we’re at it, how about lowering the income tax rates for ALL Americans so we have more disposable income to better care for our families and better fuel the economy. The bottom line is that we all work hard for our money and as such, we should all be able to keep more of it…
