is... wishing Americans would wake up before it is too late.

And this guy is our best hope?
Yep, I'll vote for him if he is the candidate.
but he isn't a conservative.
Just as I figured. Twice in a row.
The Camelturds?
Great minds do tend to work alike!
yeah, I had heard of it before, but never 'black oily substance" like this one.
I've lived in countries where that was certainly the case, but I never thought this was one of them. but ....?????
Good! will expect a three - five paragraph report upon your return! LOL
That was sort of my first thought .... LOL
I think someone already hit it, as well as the domed building aross that way .....
Well, seems the Ohio teenage shooter apparently took his grandfather's pistol without permission ....
The 70-something who has periodically helped raise this kid told a neighbor there was a pistol missing from his barn, and he suspects it is the one used in the school shootings.
So ... do we lock Grandpa away for life, because this young man apparently took the pistol without permission (i.e. 'stole' it?)
Did a Plane Drop Human Excrement Over New York's Long Island?
By Genevieve Shaw Brown | ABC News Blogs – Tue, Feb 28, 2012.. .
Was the black sludge that reportedly fell on Artie Hughes and his wife as they sat on their porch in Malverne, N.Y., human waste from the plane passing above them? It's possible. And it wouldn't be the first time people on the ground got pelted by what they suspected was airline waste.
Hughes told radio station 1010 WINS that he initially thought the black, oily substance was fuel or hydraulic fluid, but the police officer who responded to the Hughes' call suspected lavatory runoff. After the officer made several phone calls, he told Hughes there had been an "incident" and lavatory excrement had leaked out.
The Federal Aviation Administration will begin an investigation into the incident on Monday, Newsday reports. FAA spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen told the Long Island newspaper, "This is very rare. More often we get reports of 'blue ice' falling in people's backyards" from airplane lavatory holding tanks. "Blue ice" is a euphemism for sewage treated with a blue liquid that freezes and can unintentionally be dispensed midflight.
The FAA, however, said on its website that "blue ice" would melt long before it hit the ground.

I've solved the mystery ..... Obama was spilled from a plane!
ideology? I guess what you mean by that is you can't deal with being called on your BS, right?
Ah well, everywhere has some drawbacks .. LOL
Wow, finally? I've been seeing it for months now!
What do you mean. This is the umpteenth time they've agreed to do so over the past ten or twelve years ... They agreed to the same thing when Clinton was in office. Where the heck have you been?
Hell, I'm no economist and I could have predicted that!
For every step forward this administration takes, they take five backwards.
Oh yes, and whatever else he wants ... until he says they've decided to change their minds and they really do need nuclear power ...
If they're opening one facility to inspection .... they have two more somewhere else still operating.
OK. let me get this straight .... Obama has been in office since Jan 2009 .... and it is the end of February 2012 .... and you're saying there is actually something Obama is not stupid enough to try .... Is that what I actually hear you saying?
Well, for today anyway ....
How many times have they done this now?
Kim must want a new Cadillac Limo or something.
So we've turned over jurisdiction over our servicemen and women to NATO now?
Horseshit.

Poor ol' little Ricky - he presents mixed records on everything!
He won't say, other than he supports the 2d amendment. Republicans better take both houses of congress this November ....
We are fine. Several homes across the lake from us (2 miles away) were damaged, and one of the local lakeside motels. Downtown Branson didn't come through as well, with several of the businesses being damaged. 30 people injured, none life threatening, at least none we know of yet. That's the good part.
Branson will be all rebuilt and ready to go when the first bunch of tourists show up with a full wallet, you can bet on it. They won't let a little thing like a tornado stop them from grabbing the tourist dollars!
Thanks for asking. That's the thing about the Ozarks. Tornado season is only twelve months long each year. 17 yers ago they had one destroy a boat manufacturing plant, and some homes, and there were several inches of snow on the ground at the time it hit. Go figure.
Later .... be safe
I see Mitt took Arizona and Michigan. I think Newt and Little Ricky should bow out now for unity purposes ... but they won't.
Where is George Washington University?
What I want to know is how do I get you to actually be honest for once?
You just want to play run, dodge and jump all day.
That's elementary school stuff for goodness' sake.
So, from what the article says, none of Obama's Hopey-Changey ads wold have been allowed to air in '08, right? And, this year he can not air any ads claiming the economy is back on track, right?
Hmmm. Let's see how far that goes?
Yeah, well, a written leter from the President of the US is WAY beyond a simple apology to a bunch of radical islamists. Multiple apologies from several high ranking officials .. well, worked real well, didn't it? At least four more dead because of it.
Sorry, but when we cease worrying about 'being right', we're screwed from that point on.
Until we can understand as a nation that these folks do not live by 'our standards' .... and that they don't rank their priorities in life the way we do ..... we'll always be spinning our wheels. It's like dealing with criminals. They don't think or at the way 'normal' folks do. When we try to treat them as 'normal' we get our ass handed to us.
Remind me to tell you sometime about the cop who thought they could use 'normal' ways of reasoning with a barricaded criminal with a hostage (another cop). I'm sure that guy's grave (the 'hostage's') is somewhere close enough for you to go visit, should you care to.
I do not believe the US military did anything wrong in burning those Korans. I do not believe the US should have apologized at all, and certainly not as many times and from as many officials as we have done so. If anything, a letter of 'regret' would have sufficed, in which we expressed regret for having to burn the korans, perhaps, but certainly not public oral and written apologies like we did. Possibly they could have had a local official attend the destruction, and guide the procedures of destroying the korans.
Instead we publicly and repeatedly apologize, when in fact no intentional disrespect was intended. All that accomplished was to make us seem guilty of something wrong.
We can't continue to bow and scrape, if we intend on maintaining any respect internationally.

Chris - here ya go ... this doesn't make me want to go out and kill anyone.
http://edition.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/asiapcf/05/20/us.military.bibles.burned/
You?
It's always the man (woman) who pulls the trigger ... who is the killer.
Not if they are being used for some sort of nefarious pruposes, no.
I don't worship books or pieces of paper. Respect, yeah, but not worship.
People burn bibles regularly, I am sure, right here in the us for political protest reasons. I'm sure it would be ruled a constitutionally protected freedom of 'speeech' or 'expression'.
Nah, that woldn't bother me nearly so much as Muslims who decapitate our people and put it on the internet for 'religious' reasons, or shoot our military officers and men who are there to try to help those people combat enemies of their state.
Would it bother you, to see a bible burned?
Does it bother you to see our flag burned?
Would you justify killing someone over burning a bible?
I personally don't care if they burn a semi-trailer load of Korans. Anyone who worships a book, instead of the God their book addresses .... well in my thinking, that's worshipping the wrong object.
Yep, leapt right out at me!
LOL
When has the government or military burned bibles in this country?
This morning I learned the shooter in this case 1s 17 years of age.
That is not a 'kid', that is a man.
That is a man old enough to join the military with parental permission. That is a man old enough to hold a full time job. That is a man old enough to complete high school and start college. It is certainly a man old enough to know right from wrong, and adhere to the 'right'. Surely you were mature enough at 17 to know something like this would be wrong - probably knew it then just as surely as you know it now.
He will tell police where he got the gun, and hopefully it will turn out that no one actually gave it to him or let him take it. The gun should have been secured, but again, this is a man and he is old enough he would have known better than to do what he did, anyway. Seems he was detrmined, for some reason known to him, to kill these victims. Seems he walked into the cafeteria and over to a certain table and started shooting certain people. He had some 'reason' to do that. It wasn't the gun who killed these students, it was that 17 year old man.
This entire episode is indeed a tragedy as is any event during which innocents die, regardless of the cause of their death. It is misplaced to become indignant and blame a gun. It is incorrect to blame gun laws. It is appropriate to blame the shooter. He made the decision to walk in that room and pulll that trigger.
It might be appropriate to blame his parent(s), at least partially, as my understanding is he was living with his grandmother which would usually indicate there was a problem or problem(s) that somehow prevented him from being raised in a normal, two-parent home with loving parents.
It would also be appropriate to prosecute any adult who is found to have given him or otherwise been responsible for him having this gun. That would have been a crime under present laws, as was his possessing the firearm and also him taking it on school property and for shooting these students.
This young man's life is ruined. That too is a tragedy. But like so many other young men today, he made the decisions he made, and he did the things he did. He now has to live with that, and will most likely be in prison for a long, long while, as he should be.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has eight agents on their way to the scene and they are expected to trace the firearm.
That's all I can tell you at this point.
They know who the kid was, so he'll probably tell them where it came from
Problem is ... it was the kid who had the problem, not the gun.
Or in all liklihood, the kids parent(s) who actually had the problem.
I don't like it either ........
Neither do I like this:

Dead is dead.
Who you going to tell to 'go screw' about that problem?
How much time should the person get who sold the booze to the teens? Or let them use the car?
What a crock of shit ......
What the hell is a Smith & Wesson -"Spur Trigger" model?
And if S&W makes a "spur Trigger" then I imagine Taurus would too, but they're not there.
They actually put Hi-Point on there?
So a lot of what they listed was just list the cheap guns ....
Hell, they put Walther P-22's on there ....and Sig Mosquitos ..... but not Kel-Tec or Ruger pocket 380s ... this is so naive, it had to be cooked up by an Obama politician.
So freaking sad, but funny too!
After a while ... It doesn't matter what they get or don't get. Even this administration would understand what it meant if there were an average of three firearms per household! LOL
That's good stuff for Washington to know! LOL
