Here's a pass on from the same BCer:

Here's two classic photos of President Netanyahu and 'The Marxist Idiot' while in their early 20's.

Mr. Netanyahu from his days with the IDF Special Operations 'Sayeret Matkal', an elite commando unit. (Think... U.S. Navy Seals)
Master Obama in his dope smoking, community organizing thug and 'Bill Ayers' loving days. (Think... The Weather Underground)




This explains a whole lot about their social, political and negotiating styles.

Thanks to a fellow BCer, we have a new name for our President. Let's hear it for Emperor O'Bozo.

Online headline/story: "Patriot Act Signed Into Law By Machine * With Obama currently in France, the White House said the president would use an autopen machine that holds a pen and signs his actual signature. It is only used with proper authorization of the president. Minutes before the midnight deadline, the White House said Obama had signed the bill." -- Even before the age of electronics, there was a need for the "autopen". Presidents sent out mass mailing of Christmas cards, pictures, and campaign letters, and it is physically impossible for a president to actually hand sign them all, but this is carrying the use 'too far'. It's scary to know that some imposter in the White House could issue some order or decree with the president's signature. The problem is that Emperor Scarlett O'Bozo spends too much time gallivanting around the world.

Wednesday morning, stopped at the the light at 12th and Veterans, I witnessed a most unusual sight. A private company truck filled with water followed by a man on foot who was followed by another truck with flashers on was watering the medians recently added on Veterans. Excuse me, but walking by a patch of grass and a tree sprinkling only enough water to wet down some of the dust is not going to keep those median 'green', yet you can bet WE are paying for the contract to do that, and I'll bet the house that it's not a token payment contract. Michael Owen..this is for you to check on.

Yesterday's newspaper story on the tree pruning on Broadway opened up another can of worms. Seems like 2 of the 7 or 8 folks observed hovering around the tree were not city employees. That means we had 5 or 6 city employees there via 5 different vehicles. I didn't notice a single one of those vehicles having seating limited to one employee. What urgencies could possibly be that would justify 5 vehicles needed to transport 5 or 6 employees? I understand the Police officers needing ways to respond to emergency calls, but it seems that the Urban Forestry (is that a resume enhancer like Sanitation Engineer?) service call would be a planned event, and one vehicle could carry the personnel that would be needed.

It was interesting to watch two men swinging through the tree limbs on Broadway ( ala Tarzan) Wednesday preparing the tree for some sort of adventure climb in October. On the other hand, there was another Laurel Oak half-a-block south of the that tree which has seriously damaged limbs that are truly a danger to pedestrians, bicyclers and cars alike, that was completely ignored. Getting an expert in to shape tree limbs is wonderful, but wouldn't we have been better served if those experts had spent that time pruning the dead and dying limbs out of the more seriously damaged tree?

Online story: 'Ed Schultz will take one week of unpaid leave from MSNBC following his controversial comments about Laura Ingraham. * On his radio show Tuesday, Schultz called Ingraham a "right-wing slut". * Last September, he was reprimanded by the network after calling New Jersey Governor Chris Christie a "cold-hearted fat slob." -- Hmmm, giving him an unpaid week of vacation is sorta like Br'er Rabbit pleading to Br'er Fox & Br'er Bear not to throw him into the briar patch. How would MSNBC penalize him if he called Hilary Clinton a 'left-wing slut' or George Soros a 'cold-hearted fat slob'... that my friends is the real question MSNBC needs to address.

There was a potentially disastrous wreck Thursday at 4:00 AM. WTVM9 has skeletonized coverage, and the L-E has ignored it altogether. I touched on it briefly yesterday, and yesterday afternoon sent the following e-mail to WTVM's manager, and the only real writer at the L-E. Neither has responded.
Here's the e-mail:


"Following ABC's (TV9) less-than-candid report as far as details go, who was the 21 year old who ran into the gas pipeline on Standing Boy Road? The WTVM-9 report was quick to use the '3 deer' in every report as the excuse for the wreck, but since there were no deer present at the scene, how can it be assumed there were deer present at all. Obviously, a 4:00 AM wreck makes one think of whether there was alcohol involved. Was there a field test administered? As the driver was 21 years of age, why was not his name mentioned. Since there was eminent danger and probably considerable expense for Atmos to shut down and repair the pipe, why wasn't the driver's name mentioned for that alone? Speaking of that pipe, why was it in a position that a vehicle could run into it to begin with?
Reading the WTVM9 reports on this wreck can only be described as listening to Dave Platta giving baseball scores in the following manner, "Today's scores were 3-to-1, 6-to-2, and 1-to-0 in extra innings. Sure, it tells me there were games played, and the scores are probably accurate, but without the names, those scores are useless."

Follow up: I went by the site after work, and could see no sign that any emergency evasive action was taken. It looked like someone just ran off the road at a somewhat slow speed. I didn't see any braking tire marks or any soil disruption that a braking car would make sliding across grass/clay before it ran into the gas line.

There's something fishy about this; who was the driver?
