Turkey

President Obama, who just gave away control of the internet, is going to have to replace his Science Czar John Holdren. Holdren, who advocated forced abortions to save the planet and warned of a new ice age, is neck deep in Climategate.
Read the entire article at Canada Free Press.

Obama Science Czar John Holdren is directly involved in CRU’s unfolding Climategate scandal. In fact, according to files released by a CEU hacker or whistleblower, Holdren is involved in what Canada Free Press (CFP) columnist Canadian climatologist Dr. Tim Ball terms “a truculent and nasty manner that provides a brief demonstration of his lack of understanding, commitment on faith and willingness to ridicule and bully people”.

“The files contain so much material that it is going to take some time t o put it all in context,” says Ball. “However, enough is already known to underscore their explosive nature. It is already clear the entire claims and positions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) are based on falsified manipulated material and is therefore completely compromised.

“The fallout will be extensive as material continues to emerge. Reputations of the scientists involved are already destroyed, however fringe players will continue to be identified and their reputations destroyed or sullied.”

Therefore, the president has proposed installing a new Czar, more closely aligned with his thoughts and beliefs:

Email Hell

Aside from the political form letters from representatives I’ve threatened to tar and feather… with extreme prejudice… and sales flyers [who needs the paper anymore?] I love pretty much everyone who emails me. The real people.

BUT I will warn you now:

If I receive one more email that says ‘if you don’t send this to 10 people, including me, then you don’t love Jesus’ I’m going to scream. Into the receiver.

Too bad that the person who sent it to me did not know 10 people who would admit to knowing the Lord.

This emotional blackmail must stop!

While I’m at it, celebrating mediocrity as a goal is repugnant to me. Talk about programming yourself to accept your lot in life!!
Got this yesterday [and yes, I love you... just please stop sending me this dreck]:

I AM THANKFUL:

FOR THE WIFE
WHO SAYS IT’S HOT DOGS TONIGHT,
BECAUSE SHE IS HOME WITH ME,
AND NOT OUT WITH SOMEONE ELSE.

FOR THE HUSBAND
WHO IS ON THE SOFA
BEING A COUCH POTATO,
BECAUSE HE IS HOME WITH ME
AND NOT OUT AT THE BARS.

FOR THE TEENAGER
WHO IS COMPLAINING ABOUT DOING DISHES
BECAUSE IT MEANS SHE IS AT HOME, NOT ON THE STREETS.

FOR THE TAXES I PAY
BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM EMPLOYED .

FOR THE MESS TO CLEAN AFTER A PARTY
BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE BEEN SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS.

FOR THE CLOTHES THAT FIT A LITTLE TOO SNUG
BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE ENOUGH TO EAT.

FOR MY SHADOW THAT WATCHES ME WORK
BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM OUT IN THE SUNSHINE

FOR A LAWN THAT NEEDS MOWING,
WINDOWS THAT NEED CLEANING,
AND GUTTERS THAT NEED FIXING
BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE A HOME .

FOR ALL THE COMPLAINING
I HEAR ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT
BECAUSE IT MEANS WE HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

FOR THE PARKING SPOT
I FIND AT THE FAR END OF THE PARKING LOT
BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM CAPABLE OF WALKING
AND I HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH TRANSPORTATION .

FOR MY HUGE HEATING BILL
BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM WARM.

FOR THE LADY BEHIND ME IN CHURCH
WHO SINGS OFF KEY
BECAUSE IT MEANS I CAN HEAR.

FOR THE PILE OF LAUNDRY AND IRONING
BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE CLOTHES TO WEAR.

FOR WEARINESS AND ACHING MUSCLES
AT THE END OF THE DAY
BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE BEEN CAPABLE OF WORKING HARD.

FOR THE ALARM THAT GOES OFF
IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS
BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM ALIVE.

What was the next step?? I’m grateful my husband beats me because it means I have a man in my life?

I’m grateful. I am worshipful and grateful to our Lord for each and every second of my life and everything in it… except these damned emails!

These two were my tipping point. Do they bother you or do you press the delete button without even looking at them?

WHAT?

The careers of three Navy Seals are on the line because of a bloody lip? Tell me this isn’t true, please!

Navy SEALs Face Assault Charges for Capturing Most-Wanted Terrorist

Navy SEALs have secretly captured one of the most wanted terrorists in Iraq — the alleged mastermind of the murder and mutilation of four Blackwater USA security guards in Fallujah in 2004. And three of the SEALs who captured him are now facing criminal charges, sources told FoxNews.com.

The three, all members of the Navy’s elite commando unit, have refused non-judicial punishment — called an admiral’s mast — and have requested a trial by court-martial.

Ahmed Hashim Abed, whom the military code-named “Objective Amber,” told investigators he was punched by his captors — and he had the bloody lip to prove it.

Now, instead of being lauded for bringing to justice a high-value target, three of the SEAL commandos, all enlisted, face assault charges and have retained lawyers.

Matthew McCabe, a Special Operations Petty Officer Second Class (SO-2), is facing three charges: dereliction of performance of duty for willfully failing to safeguard a detainee, making a false official statement, and assault.

Petty Officer Jonathan Keefe, SO-2, is facing charges of dereliction of performance of duty and making a false official statement.

Petty Officer Julio Huertas, SO-1, faces those same charges and an additional charge of impediment of an investigation.

The three SEALs will be arraigned separately on Dec. 7. Another three SEALs — two officers and an enlisted sailor — have been identified by investigators as witnesses but have not been charged.

FoxNews.com obtained the official handwritten statement from one of the three witnesses given on Sept. 3, hours after Abed was captured and still being held at the SEAL base at Camp Baharia. He was later taken to a cell in the U.S.-operated Green Zone in Baghdad.

The SEAL told investigators he had showered after the mission, gone to the kitchen and then decided to look in on the detainee.

“I gave the detainee a glance over and then left,” the SEAL wrote. “I did not notice anything wrong with the detainee and he appeared in good health.”

Lt. Col. Holly Silkman, spokeswoman for the special operations component of U.S. Central Command, confirmed Tuesday to FoxNews.com that three SEALs have been charged in connection with the capture of a detainee. She said their court martial is scheduled for January.

United States Central Command declined to discuss the detainee, but a legal source told FoxNews.com that the detainee was turned over to Iraqi authorities, to whom he made the abuse complaints. He was then returned to American custody. The SEAL leader reported the charge up the chain of command, and an investigation ensued.

The source said intelligence briefings provided to the SEALs stated that “Objective Amber” planned the 2004 Fallujah ambush, and “they had been tracking this guy for some time.”

I Spy

I wonder almost every day why the camera sees things differently than the human eye. Oh, I’ve read the explanations… but sometimes they just don’t cover the weirdness. Such as why the windows in this picture look white.

I know, it was focused on the umbrella.

There’s news from the garden! This thing, whatever it is, has chosen to bud!

I’m supposing to be loading my new Windows 7 drive, named ‘Flicka’, but ran into a hangup. Whether it’s a glitch or bug is yet to be seen, but it seems fine now.

Just popped a Flintstones vitamin. Am I the only adult who indulges?

Anne Rice’s new novel ‘Angel Time’ is weird. And not in a good, vampire blood lust way. Loved her last two books but I keep thinking ‘why am I still reading this?’ Must be an answer in there somewhere…

Daisy has her own hangups; we know this. And almost a year of love and patience on hubby’s part hasn’t helped her phobia at all; she is still terrified of him to the point of attack. She did it again this weekend. He was putting on her harness so we could go for a walk, like he’d done a hundred times before, but this time she went nutso cuckoo on his ass.

I walked her while he took Bree. When we got back we watched some Dog Whisperer.

When this is resolved she’s going to be a much happier little dog… but the behavior cannot be allowed to continue.

Skype ceased working and I think it’s because I downloaded and tried that bastard software from oovoo. That stuff wound its tentacles around my machine like a monster kraken. Removing all of it required CCleaner and nerves of steel [which I don't possess, by the way].
Anyway, Skype still doesn’t see my SIL and she reports the same. Oh, yeah, I had her install oovoo as well so we could test it. Dammit.

Windows Live Messenger does a credible job, but she can’t hear me on her end. We tried oovoo because video on skype had ceased on my end… and the ironic part? Oovoo worked perfectly; I just couldn’t stand how it tried to take over my machine.
Yes, I *will* cut off my nose to spite my face, thanks.

Well, today is all about cleaning before the fucking loved ones* arrive. See ya!

News? What news? There’s nothing happening, is there? I need to go walk the dogs…

*Quick, which movie is that from?
