Today’s Tidbits
November 30th, 2007 . by BastiIs Violent Reputation Hurting N’Orleans? NOLA is a septic tank with the lid off and its always been that way! Andrew Jackson made scathing comments about NOLA when he was there and nothing has changed. See this attached headline NOPD Struggling to Reinvent Itself
Birdwatcher Who Killed Cat Flees Texas I don’t like cat killers or birds either unless they’re raptors.
School to Perform Play NAACP Had Opposed I must have missed the part where the US Constitution was amended and the NAACP was made the final authority on what can be seen and heard.
Castro Warns Chavez About U.S.-Backed Assassination Attempts… Well Chavez might have some concerns here, however if we hire bumbling Mafia hit-men and attempt to use exploding cigars like we have done in the case of Castro, Chavez has nothing to fear. No you need highly qualified ‘free agents’ to do a proper job when you’re hiring assassins.
Hotel Mogul Threatens to Sue over Blown Hurricane Forecasts… A lawsuit a day keeps the lawyers happy.
‘Snooty’ bankers blamed for crisis… Having large sums of money or handling large sums of money does not make you clever, this a mark of the ‘new rich’. The ‘old money’ is now circling the herd waiting to snap up the weak and the faltering. This happened in 1929 and its happening today.
Christmas tree at Missouri State University — Back Up… I’m always baffled by this anti-Christmas b/s coupled with this ’sensitivity issue’. How does Christmas every year sneak up on those who don’t like Christmas or are these people just professional whiners who glory in their 15 minutes of fame each year. What is there to be sensitive about in the first place unless you feel some-sort of guilt over something that has been some 2000 years in the making. Or maybe Christmas is a ‘Stealth Holiday’ that just suddenly appears with no warning!
Pope blames atheism for world’s worst woes… I’m a great student of history and I don’t recall atheists burning people at the stake, lopping off the heads of people, disemboweling people, or using other inventive forms of torture in order to force others to worship what they don’t believe. Yes the Nazis and Commies did all those things and more, but they weren’t really atheists. Nazis and Commies replaced higher power religion with worship of the state and state figures. No it takes real hidebound religious people of the old school to institutionalize the ‘convert or die edict’.
Giuliani Ad Paints Dems As Tax Hikers The RINO is correct, however he’s no better and might even be worse.
More States Debate End to Blue Laws

BLUE LAWS OVER TIME |
|
| How blue laws, which restrict what people and businesses can do on Sundays, have evolved:
• 17th century:The term was first used in Connecticut and came from the blue paper on which the laws were printed. Sunday was to be a day of rest and worship. Outlawed behaviors included drunkenness and excesses in dress. • 18th century:After the colonies broke from British rule, states fashioned their own laws dictating Sunday behavior. • 1789:President George Washington, heading to church in New York, was charged with violating a blue law in Connecticut that banned unnecessary walking or riding. • 19th and 20th centuries:The prohibition movement brought more restrictive laws, including bans on cigarette sales and entertainment, such as books, plays and films. • 1961:The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the right of states to enact blue laws so long as their purpose was not religious.
Clinton Urges Sweeping Action on AIDS And the band plays on.
Lower Cholesterol May Not Reduce Strokes As far as I’m concerned the ho0-haw about cholesterol was ‘invented’ so doctors could be sure of putting their children through Yale and Harvard.
Hostages Taken At Clinton Campaign Office Convenient way to get free publicity.

One of the purposes of the climate uproar is so people’s attentions will be diverted from the ‘real issues’. You know the ‘real issues’, high taxes, poor services, illegals by the bus load, and the all persuasive corruption of politicians aided and abetted by multi-national companies who are only interested in increasing the bottom line.
Maybe no ’soft money’, but a lot of ’soft heads’. (If you remember your fairy-tales you remember what happened to those who followed the ‘Pied Piper’ and his real life look-a-like Hitler)

Serbia pins blame of any Balkan flare-up on US The Russians are to blame for most of the so called unrest. Remember if Russia had not went to the aid of Serbia who had allowed war-like acts to be launched from its soil into Austria-Hungary WWI would not have happened or at least not in 1914.
