Weekend Thoughts… and Snow

Well this past week provided a bevy of fodder to prove the world is full of fools!  From Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid’s stance against allowing the pending “Health Care Overhaul” bill to be made available for a minimum of 72 hours before OUR elected representatives are to vote on it, allowing WE THE PEOPLE to read and digest the thing and to make our support or lack thereof known… to the selection of the “Anointed One” as recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, I really begin to question the ability of people… all people… to think critically.

I am discouraged by the lack of integrity in people’s actions and decisions.  The continuing culture of arrogance, is becoming quite distasteful.  For Nancy and Harry to block We The People from having reasonable access to the bills that are to influence our lives for the next decade is disgraceful and quite frankly, disrespectful.  As to the loyal opposition’s claim of, “The Republicans blocked a similar transparency petition, when the ‘Patriot Act’ was being voted on…” to me doesn’t even begin to compare.  The Patriot Act involves highly sensitive issues of National Security, and publically exposing all the components of that bill would seriously jeopardize our nations defense.  Can somebody please explain to me how a National Healthcare bill, meets that same criteria?  What in this bill is (or should be) classified, Secret or Top Secret?  NOTHING!!!

For me, if a bill contains no National Security issues, then it absolutely should be made public (and in my mind for a period of much longer than 72 hours) we have every right to see what our representatives are voting on, (including any added ‘Pork’ amendments, and we need to hold them accountable…) before the horse is out of the gate, not after!

Now as for the Nobel Peace Prize being handed to one so deserving as Barack Obama… uh… well… wait, I have some lint in my bellybutton…

Really my “Give-o-shit-o-meter” barely registered a flinch.  Why? you ask.  Well… look here (all winners of this… eh’em “illustrious” award):

1. Barack Obama (nominated 2 weeks after he assumed the Presidency)
2. Al Gore (leading cause of CO2 Release… that windbag.  Seriously people… FOLLOW THE MONEY!!!!!)
3. Jimmy Carter (Mom always said if I can’t say anything nice… nuff said)
4. United Nations (Oxymoronic Title if ever there was one…)
5. Yasser Arafat (Terrorists for Peace… = Atheists for God?)

Fundamentally the Nobel Committee will vote for the person or organization who’s desire it is to weaken the strength of “the Great Satin” the United States, and make efforts (or in Barack’s case… read teleprompted words) encouraging the demise of the United States ideals or stature in the world in support of failed socialistic and fascist philosophies.

So I say, hell, let them award it to whomever they like.  Awarding it to people like BHO and Yasser Arafat only serves to lessen the validity of the award, actually it is getting closer to a “Happy Meal Prize" every year.  Really I feel more sorry for previous winners the likes of Mother Theresa and the Dali Lama, REAL Champions for Peace.  Seriously folks do Al Gore, Barack Obama, and Yasser Arafat live to that same standard of character?

Weak Sauce!

And now from the Global Warming front… reporting from 27 degrees, snow, and postponed National League Division Playoff Baseball game hometown of Denver CO… I submit this week’s photos… from Fall to Winter in a PBS fundraiser break!.

Yesterday…

Today…

Oh yeah, we also bombed the moon in search of water-ice… Watch out North Dakota, you could be next! 

Well, that’s all for now, need to get back to my preparations for my trip to the “Center of the Universe” next week.  (That’s New York City for those of you who have never experienced “them”…)

Talk among yourselves…
