Postal Service to resume North Pole Santa letters

NCHORAGE, Alaska – Wide-eyed children around the world will be hearing from Santa’s “elves” at the North Pole after all.

During Christmas seasons for decades, these dedicated elves responded to thousands of letters addressed to “Santa Claus, North Pole.”

All that was ending with a U.S. Postal Service decision to discontinue the program based in the small Alaskan town amid privacy concerns.

The elves from Santa’s Mailbag vowed to fight the decision, while North Pole residents voiced outrage.

A reversal of the Postal Service move was announced Friday.

“We never wanted to spoil people’s Christmas,” said agency spokesman Ernie Swanson. “It was just a decision we had to make based on privacy concerns, and it is labor-intensive. But it’s still nice that we’re able to resume this and still make people’s holiday.”

Breitbart Takes Big Journalism To The Woodshed.

Ouch,
After being accused yesterday of blackmailing AG Holder, Andrew Breitbart responds.

Thanks for Paying Attention Big Journalism
by Andrew Breitbart

In response to the Columbia Journalism Review’s accusing me of “blackmailing” the Attorney General of the United States, I must take notice that the mainstream media as a journalistic establishment IS paying attention to the ongoing ACORN scandal.  Good.  I thought so.

What the Columbia Journalism Review is doing is very similar to what Media Matters is doing: protecting the Democrat-Media Complex, the natural alliance of the Democratic Party and the mainstream media.  This ACORN investigation has been going on for two months and Hannah, James, and I have proven to be truth-tellers every step of the way, while the Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now has been proven time and again to be liars.


Either Andrew has some explosive tapes and real information to destroy ACORN, or he is the best poker playing bluffer anywhere.
I think the man has some very unsavory evidence and it leads to the top. Either way Breitbart has some stones!

The Death Of Detroit: A Monument To Democratic Failure

When Al Cobo became mayor of Detroit in the 1950’s, he predicted - correctly - that he would be the last republican to hold that office, and that Detroit would fall under everlasting democrat control in the future. During his administration, Detroit had nearly 2 million residents and a booming auto industry.

Today, thanks to 60 years of greed and corruption under state and city democrat machine politics and union greed, the Motor City is a wasteland where even the dead have no dignity.

The abandoned corpses, in white body bags with number tags tied to each toe, lie one above the other on steel racks inside a giant freezer in Detroit’s central mortuary, like discarded shoes in the back of a wardrobe.

Some have lain here for years, but in recent months the number of unclaimed bodies has reached a record high. For in this city that once symbolised the American Dream many cannot even afford to bury their dead.

The once proud symbol of American industrial might has fallen to this…

After years of gross mismanagement by the city’s leaders and the big three car manufacturers of General Motors, Ford and Chrysler, who continued to make vehicles that Americans no longer wanted to buy, Detroit today has an unemployment rate of 28 per cent, higher even than the worst years of the Great Depression.

The murder rate is soaring. The school system is in receivership. The city treasury is $300 million (£182m) short of the funds needed to provide the most basic services such as rubbish collection. In its postwar heyday, when Detroit helped the US to dominate the world’s car market, it had 1.85 million people. Today, just over 900,000 remain. It was once America’s fourth-largest city. Today, it ranks eleventh, and will continue to fall.

Thousands of houses are abandoned, roofs ripped off, windows smashed. Block after block of shopping districts lie boarded up. Former manufacturing plants, such as the giant Fisher body plant that made Buicks and Cadillacs, but which was abandoned in 1991, are rotting.

Is it any wonder that Sarah Palin - whether she be a sound prospect for political office or not - attracted thousands to her book-signing in Grand Rapids, 200 miles west and light-years away from the squalor that symbolizes everything wrong with liberal democrat policy.

Holder: We won’t release KSM if he wins in court

Attorney General Eric Holder’s decision to put Khalid Shaikh Mohammed is going to cost hundreds of millions of dollars more than trying the terrorist in a military tribunal. According to Eric Holder, putting KSM on trial in New York will show the world that America lives up to its ideals. One problem with that; Attorney General Holder also says that he won’t be letting KSM go if the terrorist isn’t convicted.

(Washington Times) Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. let stand Wednesday a claim that confessed Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed will remain in U.S. custody even if he is acquitted in the so-called “trial of the century” scheduled for a New York courtroom.

The claim arose during a tense Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, at which Mr. Holder defended from a storm of Republican criticism his decision to bring five suspects in the Sept. 11 attacks to trial in New York.

“It’s my understanding that if [Mohammed] is not convicted, and somehow the judge lets him off on a technicality or something, then he becomes an enemy combatant, and then you are right back where you started,” said Sen. Charles E. Grassley, Iowa Republican. “So what do you gain?”

That’s sure going to send a great message to the world. If we catch you, we’ll pt you on trial. If you win we won’t let you go. Way to go Eric.

I stand by my earlier assertion that this is a bread and circuses trrial designed to distract the public from the economy and the political machinations going on in Washington DC.

Coca Cola + Hopenhagen + EU = One World Government

Yesterday I posted a story with video about the new EU President’s call for a One-World Government. It was not taken seriously, now this story about Coca Cola leading a Propaganda War centered on the upcoming U.N. effort in Copenhagen to bind the U.S. “to cap-and-trade emissions regulation, commit the world’s wealthiest nations to a potential $10 trillion in foreign aid and, possibly, form a proposed international “super-grid” for regulating and distributing electric power worldwide.”

The real goal? A One-World Government using fear of climate change to get the support they need.

Coca-Cola is spearheading a coalition of more than 100 companies pushing a United Nations climate treaty to bind the U.S. to cap-and-trade emissions regulation, commit the world’s wealthiest nations to a potential $10 trillion in foreign aid and, possibly, form a proposed international “super-grid” for regulating and distributing electric power
worldwide.

Together with the SAP and Siemens corporations, Coca-Cola launched a website called Hopenhagen, leading up to the U.N. Climate Change
Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, which opens on Dec. 7. The website invites the citizens of the world to sign a petition demanding world leaders draft binding agreements on climate change and advertises, as of today, “16 days left to seal
the deal.”

Other “friends” of Hopenhagen include media outlets Newsweek, Discovery Channel, Huffington Post, Cosmopolitan, Seventeen, The Wall Street Journal and Clear Channel, among others, Internet giants Yahoo, Google and AOL and dozens of other companies and organizations.

As was reported, however, Lord Christopher Monckton, a former science adviser to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, asserts the real purpose of the U.N.‘s meeting in Copenhagen is to use concern over “global warming
” as a pretext to lay the foundation for a one-world government
.

http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=116310

I believe Lord Obama will sign on completely and that our Democrat, filibuster proof Congress will pass the necessary legislation.

Many people scoff at any real one-world government happening, at least in the near future, but IMO that was always the goal of the Human Caused Global Warming Scare campaign (Raw, global power) and that along with our global economic crisis will bring what will be for all intent and purposes a one-world government into reality much sooner than most people could ever imagine.

Yet Another Terrorist Tried In American Civilian Court Sentence To Prison

Sears Tower bomb plot leader Narseal Batiste jailed

The leader of a group which plotted to blow up the Sears Tower in Chicago has been sentenced to 13-and-a-half years in prison.

Narseal Batiste, 35, also planned to bomb FBI offices, along with four other men who have already been jailed.

Prosecutors said the men conspired to provide material support to al-Qaeda but defence lawyers said the plot was never serious.

NY23 Dem Actually Beating The Con In Absentee Ballots

NY-23 absentees, day four

Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, has erased Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman’s lead among absentee voters - and is now 253 votes ahead of his challenger in that category. Mr. Owens is now 3,398 votes ahead of Mr. Hoffman overall with 813 ballots left to be counted.

Mr. Hoffman had what now appears to be a false lead among absentee voters all week because St. Lawrence County - which went to Mr. Owens by a large margin on Election Day - had not reported numbers until today.

Don’t think so?
We get our first dose tonight @8:00 PM

Every One of these People in Nobelsville had their book signed by Sarah Palin (except ~100)

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Sarah worked far into the night.  They kept coming.  Time inexorably marched and they had to leave.  Those who did not get their book signed were upset.

They will be satisfied. I know Sarah and her ilk.  She will handle it. 

It was badly handled and those who are organizing this need to do a bit better.

The crowds a year ago weren’t quite as large for David Letterman when he published his last book.  Oh, you didn’t know?  YEP.  Letterman the author. 

That’s what drives him nuts.  He is now certifiably insane.  Right there with Keith Olberman, Chris Matthews and Jon Stewart.  Totally over the top nutcases.

This success must be driving them further and further down the rabbit hole.  They may never emerge again.

Glenn Beck, Leftist Prey

Glenn Beck, Leftist Prey
Dave Letterman likes to spread out his venom.

His tiresome, vengeful attacks on Sarah Palin,  his defense against her reaction to his calling her and her daughter virtual sluts and a reflection of his cockiness after skating through his own sex scandals, were getting old and his writers were getting stale in their digs.

They were rescued by the publication of her best seller, Going Rogue, which at once became an ancillary target with Letterman’s brief nightly skit, “Things More Fun than Reading Sarah Palin’s Book.” 

Those film attacks show cars crashing into trees, having one’s head explode in a microvave, and other inane, tasteless disasters as preferable to reading Palin’s book.

They’re getting old as well so last night’s “Top 10″ list on Obama’s interview on FNC branched out by attacking another conservative subject: Coming in at Number One was, “Agreeing that Glenn Beck is a dump.”

Not much better can be expected from crass, dirty Dave and his foul abuse of Beck was not unanticipated given the obsession liberals have with destroying him. 

Still, it reinforces an interesting phenomenon, namely that when conservatives becomes too threatening, Leftists like Letterman and others go into spasms in their efforts to bring them down into their own muck and mire.

Mrs. Palin, with her incredible popularity and crowd appeal still tops the Leftist Attack Charts.  However, Glenn Beck   has gotten way up in their craws, too.

Polls showing Beck’s topping Larry King, Anderson Cooper, Keith Olberman, and Chris Matthews’ combined scores just may be playing a factor in the Left’s angst and venom.

Dirty Dave’s lies and insinuations about Palin–he dare not abuse her daughters again– . . .

Why did Obama move KSM’s trial to the Big Apple?

If you care at all about winning the War on Terror, then trying terrorists captured on foreign battlefields in American courts is a truly boneheaded move. By switching from military tribunals to criminal courts, you empower Al Qeada and its left-wing lawyers to turn the proceedings into a theater of propaganda. Additionally, you put every intelligence asset we have in the region in mortal danger.

If there’s no up side, why would President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder put the country through this $100 million fiasco?

Lee Carey may have put his finger on the upside.

Meanwhile, to divert our attention, NYC will pitch the big tent that’ll host a three-ring international show trial. The media circus will keep people entertained for months while the dollar shrinks and inflation stirs.


That actually makes perfect sense that Holder would want to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to produce a bread and circuses trial. It will be like a shiney object dangled in front of an ADHD child.

Friggin brilliant.

Big Bang (Hadron Collider) Machine Back on-Line

I got into a lot of trouble here last year when I said the Large Hadron Collider was designed to get scientists back to the big bang. Oh my God, the few self-proclaimed scientists here were calling me a moron and insisting this machine had absolutely nothing to do with the Big Bang. I was admittedly out of my depth, but Oh my God, the scientists involved are still talking about it as the Big Bang Machine:

The LHC is expected soon to be running with more energy the world’s current most powerful accelerator, the Tevatron at Fermilab near Chicago. It is supposed to keep ramping up to seven times the energy of Fermilab in coming years.

This will allow the collisions between protons on the machine to give insights into dark matter and what gives mass to other particles, and to show what matter was in the microseconds of rapid cooling after the Big Bang that many scientists theorize marked the creation of the universe billions of years ago.

The two parallel tubes the size of fire hoses send billions of protons whizzing around the collider in opposite directions at nearly the speed of light. In rooms the size of cathedrals 300 feet (100 meters) below the ground the magnets force them into huge detectors to record what happens.

Anyway the Large Hadron Collider after a 40 million dollar breakdown is working again and everyone in the scientific community are excited.

I just thought my detractors would like to see how the dumb scientists directly involved are still saying this will take them back to the Big Bang.

6th mountain lion from quota zone taken

Sixth Cat Taken in Zone 1, Two More Closes Zone
A 3-year-old, 92-pound female mountain lion taken Nov. 19 by a deer hunter northwest of Grassy Butte in McKenzie County is the sixth cat taken in zone 1. If two more are taken from zone 1 before March 31, 2010, the quota of eight will have been reached and the season within zone 1 will close immediately.
When an eighth lion is taken, the North Dakota Game and Fish Department will notify media outlets via a press release announcing the close of the season in zone 1. Hunters can also check the number of lions taken in zone 1 by accessing the Game and Fish Department website at gf.nd.gov.
Zone 1 includes land south of ND Highway 1804 from the Montana border to the point where ND Highway 1804 lies directly across Lake Sakakawea from ND Highway 8, crossing Lake Sakakawea then south along ND Highway 8 to ND Highway 200, then west on ND Highway 200 to U.S. Highway 85, then south on U.S. Highway 85 to the South Dakota border.
Zone 2, with no quota, is the remainder of the state and is open through March 31, 2010.
The mountain lion season is open only to North Dakota residents. A furbearer or combination license is required.
