Okay, California...

...this is your chance, and it's perhaps your last chance, to prove to the rest of America, nay, to prove to the entire world that you are not dumb, stupid and ignorant. It is an accepted fact that Californians are a bit off the wall and kooky, but up to this point I have defended your previously undemonstrated innate intelligence. I've reasoned that the nuts and the kooks have to have a place to go, too, and California was available. But this Gloria Allred tear-jerking "Latina" maid thingy-ma-bob has got to be obvious even to the oblivious who migrated West and set up Hollywood.

So former governor Moonbeam wants to run your state again, does he? And the liberals are trying to convince you that this $23.00 an hour illegal alien maid debacle makes Jerry Brown the appropriate person to do that, right?

Now all you nuts and kooks out there just stop a minute and take a deep breath and try to think. How, on God's green earth, does this pathetic circus show do that? Just one fact that made any sense at all to a clear thinker would suffice. Just one.

Questions for your consideration: why was it bad for Ms Whitman to hire a Latina, as Nicky Diaz the maid seems to want to be labeled now, and pay her $ 23.00 an hour for 15 hours a week of work? (Keeping in mind that minimum wage is hovering just above $ 7.00 for the rest of the country, and working only 15 hours a week is patently pathetic.)

Although Ms Allred probably believes that she has scored some points for Mr. Moonbeam's candidacy, how did this little drama help the Latinas, and I'll throw in the Latinos, as well, to find work in California? Wouldn't employers now be a little leery to hire them even if they had the legal documentation required to work in this country? I wouldn't, would you? And be honest. You could do everything, at least everything in your power, to do the thing right and legal and still you are wrong. Not just wrong, but hounded by lawyers wrong.

When Ms Whitman found out Ms Nicky Diaz was illegal, she had to fire her to remain within the law, but she still did not report Ms Nicky to the authorities, thus allowing her to remain in the United States. That action seems misguided to clear thinkers who want to control illegal immigration, but to Californians who are determined to have all and sundry pop through the border and take over the state that probably should sound like a kindness. Does it sound kinder than Mr. Brown's agency that checks "twice a month" to make sure all his workers are legal? To these atrophied ears it does.

So I am totally confused about what California wants or what it thinks it needs. But it's not my place to decide. Unfortunately, that decision is up to you as residents of that state. If it were up to me, the entire populace out their would be spanked and sent to bed without supper. And Gloria Allred would be facing the wall with a mangled piece of chewing gum attached to her nose.

But that's just me.

September 11, 2001 Tribute...I Made This.

I have decided to undertake becoming proficient in the Flash software. Flash and I have our ups and downs, as I have no prior programming experience and am dependent of the timeline. Wow...doesn't that sound swanky? No, not really, as you Flashaholics out there will no doubt realize.

I made this Flash presentation last year for 911. It is simple, but then so am I.
Hope you enjoy.

911 Tribute

Daisy Khan And Her Magic Wand

I see. According to Daisy Khan, the opposition to the Ground Zero Mosque is fueled by hatred of Muslims. Don't think so. But since you are so wise, dear Daisy, let's assume that it is. With a wave of your wand, it's done...all people opposed to the building of the mosque near Ground Zero hate Muslims.

Hmm, nope. Still not feeling it. Not feeling the guilt with which you so cavalierly hoped to cow us. In fact, you've rather freed up my thoughts.

If we who oppose the Ground Zero Mosque do so because we hate Muslims, one could ask who has a better right to hate Muslims than the good people of America? After what Muslims did to our country on September 11, 2001, what could be a more normal reaction?

So let's recap. All people who oppose the Ground Zero Mosque hate Muslims. This hatred would be a normal reaction to the murders of innocent Americans and others via terror attacks planned and perpetrated by Muslims on September 11, 2001. Ergo, said American people should be thrilled to have a mosque celebrating the religion of said Muslim terrorists built near Ground Zero. Got it.

Whew...that was close. I was laboring under the misapprehension that a mosque built so close to Ground Zero would be in very bad taste. Kind of like a serial killer who feels powerful because the bodies of his victims are buried close by. But it couldn't be anything like that, now could it? If it were, you and the other proponents of this mosque would be determined to have it built there and only there...oh, wait. You are.

So it's just plain old bigotry and Islamaphobia on our side, not cold calculation and stealth jihad on your side, right Ms Khan? Thanks for clearing that one up for me. And don't stop talking, Daisy...you're helping me understand more than you could possibly know.

This Is What It's All About, Charlie Brown

For me, the desire...no, the determination, not to have the mosque built so close to Ground Zero boils down to this YouTube audio. Listen to it, if you can. Then multiply it by approximately 3,000.


For her, for this young lady who didn't make it out, and all the other people murdered in the name of Islam on September 11, 2001, there should be no mosque near Ground Zero. No mosque near Ground Zero. If you want to call me a bigot, or Islamaphobic, have at it. I will wear that badge proudly in Ms Doi's name.

And the anger builds...

Those of you who do not care if a mosque is built near Ground Zero, this is not your fight. You lose nothing if the mosque is not built. But those who do care will have to see that concrete and steel celebration of the "religion of peace" everyday.

I have a husband and children. I can't even imagine how sad and sickening it would be to live everyday knowing what my husband or child went through before they died on 911, and then to have to turn around and see that building. It is too much to ask.

Mr. Bloomberg, Ms Pelosi, and all you others who do not care if the 911 families have to live that way, I hate you with a passion I've never felt before, and I hate you even more for making me feel that way about you.

You do not care if the mosque is built near Ground Zero because you can't care enough about anything to hurt like these people will hurt if this thing is built.I would feel sorry for you if you didn't use that coldness as a battering ram of superiority against other people.

Yes, you'd get to pat yourself on the back everytime you looked at that building, and that is enough for you. You'd get to call yourself tolerant, and enlightened, and all those other words people who can't truly feel anything call themselves as cover.

Your sad little game of pick me, pick me has to stop now. This is too important to too many people. And you are not. I'm asking you to step aside and let us fight this thing. If you can't join the battle for the 911 families, then help them by getting out of the way.

Hey, New Yorkers, Mayor Bloomberg Just Isn't That Into You

Okay, I'll say it since nobody else will. Mayor Bloomberg of New York City does not seem to like the citizens of his city, at least those of the non-Muslim persuasion. Now, I don't have any proof, just anecdotal information that mounts up in that direction.

I am not a New Yorker, but I read from time to time about the ups and downs and goings on in your fair city. No smoking, okay...no salt, maybe okay...no this, no that...no tolerance for the feelings of New Yorkers who lived through the 911 terrorist attacks and don't want to have to look at a huge structure glorifying the "religion" of those terrorists . Okay, now we've got a problem.

I first became aware of the peculiar nature of your Mayor (besides the weird salt thing) after the failed New York City Times Square bombing. Mr. Mayor hypothesized that the would be bomber was probably some nutty right-winger who didn't want to wear the yoke of Obamacare. When that delusion was shattered, and it seemed likely that a muslim had parked that car there, Mr. Bloomberg went ballistic and warned the people of New York...you know, the average American joes who elected him in the first place (for the third time, but that's another story) not to take any action against muslims in revenge. In other words, Little Big Man stated that there would be no backlash against the muslims by New Yorkers.

The Mayor seemed (at least to me) singularly unconcerned about how the general citizenry might feel. His main objective seemed to be to protect the lives and tender feelings of the muslims in the city. Did any of you New Yorkites find that the least bit peculiar? Well, I did on your behalf.

And now Mr. Mayor is at it again. The Times Square Bomber was the prototype for the Monster Mosque that is to be built near Ground Zero. You remember, that place where 3,000 people died some years ago due to the muslim terrorist attacks? Bloomberg's famed and self-proclaimed tolerance for the building of the "Islamic Center" against the express wishes of the majority of polled citizens of New York City shows where his love lies. And it's not with you guys, you silly average New Yorkers, but with the very people who adhere to the very doctrine that caused that huge bloody hole in New York City. You know, the one where the World Trade Center towers used to stand? Yep, that hole.

Bloomberg reminds me of the mother of a serial killer; the one who keeps telling the police what a sweet boy her son is while the stink of the dismembered bodies buried in the basement surrounds her. That stink is on you, Mr. Bloomberg, and your sweet words of tolerance and ridiculous crocodile tears cannot make what you're doing smell any better.

I guess what I'm saying is that this mosque situation doesn't pass the smell test. In fact, it reeks. I think, perhaps, that there is a story there. I think that some enterprising journalist might find the story of a lifetime if he chose to look into the facts of this Ground Zero mosque matter. Where are Woodward and Bernstein when you need them? Oh, yeah, busy kissing our president's nether regions.

Oh, well, just forget it then. I mean, we're told everyday that Islam is a peaceful religion, so it must be. And we all know that the tolerance of the muslim faithful is legendary, beheaded bodies and women being stoned to death not withstanding. And I hear that Sharia Law isn't all that bad if you just go ahead and submit...ain't that right, Mr. Bloomberg?

No hablo Ingles!

Is anybody else sick and tired of presidents, congressmen, judges choosing sides with anybody else but American citizens? The Feds won't protect Arizona, and now a judge refuses to allow the state to protect itself?Yes, I'm tired and discouraged, but I'll be back tomorrow in full force. We American citizens, the unloved stepchildren of this country, will all be back tomorrow. Angrier tomorrow than today.I've laughed at people who suggest a new Revolution is coming. I am not laughing today. We are all going to have to make our choice soon. If November 2, 2010 doesn't go well for our country, we may be out of other options. Sorry to say it, but there it is.

In light of Judge Bolton's ruling in the Arizona immigration lawsuit, I'm trying to tamp down my anger by finding creative ways to psyche the Feds out. The first that comes to mind is to ditch all my identification, all those precious documents awarded me due to my birth here in America some years ago.

I will then travel to Arizona in my beloved '86 Caddy, managing somehow to do it on other taxpayer's dime (as is the preferred method of the Obama Admin, ya know) and ride around until I break the law. When confronted, I shall shrug and say "no hablo Ingles". If they dare question my veracity due to my blond hair and blue eyes, I shall hit them with "f*** you, I demand a lawyer", and charge head-on into charges of racism. By the time I scream for the ACLU, I might own the city of Phoenix. What a load of fun.

Americans, we just have to face the fact that the people running this country at this time do not like us very much, and seek to replace us. The question is, are we going to allow that...yes, allow. You see, we are the real bosses in this country, we're just so beaten down right now we have forgotten that fact. Between you and me and the lamp post, I think it's just about time we remember.
