I admit that when I first saw this video I thought it was satire ... a joke of some sort, but I was wrong. Supposedly it’s a thought out, true to life video of how these people think.
If you don’t consider that a scary thought ... think about people like these running our country.

Bush: Former Army cook’s crimes warrant execution

This April 1988 picture shows Ronald A. Gray in handcuffs and chains, escorted by military police leaving a Fort Bragg, N.C. courtroom.

President Bush on Monday approved the execution of an Army private, the first time in over a half-century that a president has affirmed a death sentence for a member of the U.S. military.

Gray, 42, was convicted in connection with a spree of four murders and eight rapes in the Fayetteville, N.C., area between April 1986 and January 1987 while he was stationed at Fort Bragg. He has been on death row at the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., since April 1988.

The court-martial panel convicted Gray of:

-Raping and killing Army Pvt. Laura Lee Vickery-Clay of Fayetteville on Dec. 15, 1986. She was shot four times with a .22-caliber pistol that Gray confessed to stealing. She suffered blunt force trauma over much of her body.

-Raping and killing Kimberly Ann Ruggles, a civilian cab driver in Fayetteville. She was bound, gagged and stabbed repeatedly, and had bruises and lacerations on her face. Her body was found on the base.

-Raping, robbing and attempting to kill an army private in her barracks at Fort Bragg on Jan. 3, 1987. She testified against Gray during the court-martial and identified him as her assailant. Gray raped her and stabbed her several times in the neck and side. The victim suffered a laceration of the trachea and a collapsed or punctured lung.

Members of the U.S. military have been executed throughout history, but just 10 have been executed by presidential approval since 1951 when the Uniform Code of Military Justice, the military’s modern-day legal system, was enacted into law.

President Kennedy was the last president to stare down this life-or-death decision. On Feb. 12, 1962, Kennedy commuted the death sentence of Jimmie Henderson, a Navy seaman, to confinement for life.

President Eisenhower was the last president to approve a military execution. In 1957, he approved the execution of John Bennett, an Army private convicted of raping and attempting to kill an 11-year-old Austrian girl. He was hanged in 1961.

Note: The death penalty was outlawed between 1972 and 1984, then President Reagan reinstated it.

Why did it take so long to come to this deserving conclusion?
20 years… Waaaay too long!

It’s in August and not October. Still, a world series is coming to Seattle.

The Gay Softball World Series will be played on several fields in the Seattle area.

The series is put on by the North American Gay Amateur Athletic Alliance, which runs a network of gay and lesbian softball leagues. It was started about 30 years ago. According to the organization, the softball world series annually attracts more than 4,000 participants.

Seattle seems to attract gay softball games for some reason. Among the most famous games is the annual Dykes vs. Drag Queens event. Here are some photos .

The world series, however, is far different. It’s not meant to a funny fund-raiser. It’s real competition. And the players are some of the best in the country.

I’m going to borrow some words from a dear friend and say,
CHARMING.... Just CHARMING!

… It’s too distracting for drivers

Police in Dartmouth, N.S. have told employees of a Hooters restaurant not to practice calisthenics outside because their bouncing bodies have been deemed a major distraction for nearby drivers.

[...]

On Friday, another rear-end fender bender occurred during their morning exercises and police told the employees not to exercise on the sidewalk.

[...]

But then there are those who recognize the benefit to the community that Hooters provides.

“I can understand it causes distractions for the drivers, however they shouldn’t be looking at pretty girls,” an older gentleman said.

As for him?

“I’m not driving,” he said with a smile.

An elderly Italian man went to his parish priest and
asked if the priest would hear his confession.

“Of course, my son,” said the priest.

“Well, Father, at the beginning of World War Two, a
beautiful woman knocked on my door and asked me to
hide her from the Germans; I hid her in my attic,
and they never found her.”

“That’s a wonderful thing, my son, and nothing that
you need to confess,” said the priest.

“It’s worse, Father; I was weak, and told her that
he had to pay for rent of the attic with her sexual
favors,” continued the old man.

“Well, it was a very difficult time, and you took a
large risk - you would have suffered terribly at
their hands if the Germans had found you hiding
her; I know that God, in his wisdom and mercy,
will balance the good and the evil, and judge you
kindly,” said the priest.

“Thanks, Father,” said the old man. “That’s a load
off of my mind. Can I ask another question?”

“Of course, my son,” said the priest.

The old man asked, “Do I need to tell her that the war is over?”

Sen. Barack Obama (Dem-Ill.) tells PEOPLE magazine in the issue out Friday that he and his wife, Michelle, do not give Christmas or birthday presents to their two young daughters. Obama tells the magazine that he and his wife follow the unusual practice because they

“want to teach some limits.”

In the interview earlier this summer, Obama noted that they do spend “hundreds” of dollars on birthday slumber parties.

My.. what frugal limits we set

So, anyway, is there meaning behind the Obama’s not celebrating Christmas or birthdays?  Yannow, kind a like ...  Marxist socialists and Muslims don’t celebrate Christmas or birthdays either?
Quite an interesting coincidence if you ask me

Grocery bag fee headed to full council 20-cent charges for paper or plastic set to come up for vote next week
Are people in Seattle even aware that the city wants to get rid of plastic and paper bags and other containers? And in the process charge 20 cents per bag… paper of plastic?

Seattle city officials, moved a step closer Tuesday toward becoming one of the few major cities to discourage paper and plastic bags in favor of reusable bags, and to ban polystyrene food and drink containers.

Seattle mayor calls for fee on disposable grocery bags

Forget the canvas sacks at home? Shoppers at grocery, convenience and drug stores will pay the price starting Jan. 1, if the City Council approves. A family buying six bags of groceries a week would spend $62.40 a year in bag fees. The city will issue one free reusable shopping bag to each household.

“The answer to the question ‘Paper or plastic?’ should be ‘Neither,’ “ Nickels said at a news conference. “Both harm the environment. Every piece of plastic ever made is still with us in the environment, and the best way to handle waste is not to create it in the first place.”

The proposed fee, the first of its kind in the nation, is the latest green legislation from a mayor intent on making environmental stewardship his legacy.

Personally, I use all my plastic shopping bags for a variety uses. I rarely throw bags away except with the cat liter.
What gripes me about this is ... what gives the council the right to decide what a retailer wants to offer their customers as part of their service to them?
What’s next? Turn the lights off and charge for each candle the customer uses while shopping there?

Arrgggh....

NEW YORK (AP) - A relative of a Sept. 11 victim is fighting his co-op board, which wants him to remove a magnetized American flag from his door.

Vincent Romano said Monday he put the flag on the door right after the attacks in 2001 to commemorate his wife’s cousin, who died at the World Trade Center.

“In memory of her and my own feeling of being upset about what happened, I put the flag up and said I wasn’t taking it down until they caught Osama Bin Laden,” he said.

He and his wife last week received a letter from the building property manager saying the flag had to come down by Monday because of the rules of the Brooklyn housing cooperative. The co-op objected to anything that could damage the paint on the door, but he pointed out that the magnet would leave the paint unharmed.

Co-op board lawyer Ezra Goodman said the problem was not the paint. Shareholders in the co-op are not allowed to display anything in public spaces, including doors, without the board’s approval, he said.

The board needs to approve the American flag? This is completely ludicrous ...

GOP presidential candidate John McCain has made a series of verbal slip-ups in the past few weeks, mixing up countries, Shiites and Sunnis and even confusing one NFL team for another. The flubs have given McCain’s critics a chance to call attention to his age—an issue that is a regular target for late-night comics.

“a chance to call attention to his age”
So McCain has a legitimate excuse ... now what is Obama’s excuse for having twice as many gaffes?

“Israel is a strong friend of Israel’s. It will be a strong friend of Israel’s under a McCain...administration. It will be a strong friend of Israel’s under an Obama administration. So that policy is not going to change.”

Well, it certainly looks like another gaffe credit to Obama again. *shakes head*
Obviously, Obama has people writing his “pretty words”, but when left on his own, he looks like a dufus. It is a perfect example of symbolism above substance.
Sheesh.... Is it too much to ask for a leader with some articulate stature?

Either way, Obama is a typical political sleeze - the only “change” he’s hoping for is his change of address and his resume. He doesn’t give a hoot about our country ...it’s all about himself and his people.

These people are disgustingly creepy…

I’m askared now
