Yea!
Sen. Spector finally made it official today, after years of voting with Democrats, and finally came out of the closet so to speak and announced he is now . . . gasp . .. a Democrat.
Yeah, it gives Obama his filibuster proof Senate but in effect he really already had one.
Spector and a few other RHINO (Republican in name only) Senators have been a thorn in the Republican party's side for years by always voting with the opposition when it most mattered (Spector was one of three Republicans to vote for Obama's stimulus/budget buster/tax hike bill).
Welcome home Sen. Spector and good luck winning in the 2010 election since party switchers don't usually fair to well.
I can think of one in this state (State Senator Dean Johnson) who switched for the same reason Spector did . . . because he knew he wouldn't win his party's nomination the next election cycle.
He lost the next election just like Spector will.

Swine Flu . . . not the first time we've seen this
Headline: March 24, 1976: Ford Orders Swine-Flu Shots for All
Full article here
Pretty interesting considering all the media on this the past week.
Not to mention this little fact: Worldwide, seasonal flu kills between 250,000 and 500,000 people in an average year but the new strain worries experts because it spreads rapidly between humans and there is no vaccine for it.
So far 149 are dead in Mexico. No deaths elsewhere yet. I guess only time will tell but after SARS and the bird flu media blitzes one cannot help but be skeptical.

Headline of the week: "Teacher puts poop in kids backpack"
No joke.
YAKIMA, WA (KIMA) - An unexpected surprise in their son's backpack caught some Yakima Washington parents off guard. It was human waste, with a note attached from the boy's teacher. And the school isn't denying that's what happened.

Jeneane Garafalo is full of hate (so is that dimwit Obberman)
Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy
This interview reveals much about how liberals in their self centered, arrogant, all knowing attitude think.
This woman has truly lost it.
This comment from another web site I read sums it up perfectly:
The Right thinks: that people on the Left are wrong.
The Left thinks: that people on the Right are racists. Have medically defective brains. Are all wife-beaters/oppresive to their wives. Intellectually dependent on hatred. And they have nothing else to rely on. Nothing.
So tell me, which side is more "tolerant" and "open-minded"? Which side hates those that they don't agree with?
And this from Ace at Ace of Spades:
Right... I oppose Obama because he's black. If it were nice white Ralph Nader turning the nation into a European socialist nanny state, I'd approve.
Any finally from my new favorite country song:
God is great, beer is good and people are crazy.

If you can't beat 'em, bad-mouth 'em?
"News anchors resort to sexual innuendo to criticize tea parties"
Whatever happened to professional journalism?
This is disgusting in so many ways.

Jesus symbol not good
according to the Obama White House who requested that Georgetown U cover it when Obama gave a speech there.
Georgetown U is a catholic school I guess and surprisingly they complied.
So, in short, bowing to Saudi Kings is OK but Jesus symbol behind you while speaking is not.
I wonder if Obama would make a similar request if he were speaking at a Muslim or Jewish University.

Department of Homeland Security warns
. . . in a new report about:
Islamo fascists? Nope.
Somalian pirates? Nope.
Chinese web hackers? Nope.
Anarchists? Nope.
Their new report warns about a rise in "right wing extremist activity".
Here is their definition of right wing extremism:
"right wing extremism in the United States" as including not just racist or hate groups, but also groups that reject federal authority in favor of state or local authority.
Wow. When did the DHS become so political. Most people I know would prefer state or local authority over federal when it comes down to it.
Even the white house backed away from this one. The DHS could at least also warn about left wing extremists such as PETA, Greenpeace, etc in order to appear more neutral.

Romans 5:8
"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

Looks like a bow to me . . .
What a dork.
Not because he bowed (which was inappropriate IMO) but because the White House denies it was a bow.
