Neo-Nazi Couple Find Out They're Jewish

Two Polish neo-Nazis who were childhood sweethearts and later became skinheads have discovered what for them a shocking family secret is: They're actually Jewish. Pawel and Ola, identified only by their first names, is the subject of a CNN documentary about Poles rediscovering their Jewish roots generations after their ancestors hid their religious identities to escape persecution during World War II. A few years ago, Ola found out from Warsaw's Jewish Historical Institute that both she and her husband are technically Jews. Source: Polish neo-Nazis

This shows how false this whole neo-Nazi crap really is. The fact is they can give up they're previous beliefs so quickly once the tables turn against them. And that'll sure screw up a nice healthy hatred, won't it? God does have a sense of humor...and sometimes it isn't all that friendly.

Doused a fire with a giant bucket of water

This morning I awoke feeling like Conan the Barbarian with a big S taped to my chest then I realized I was trapped in a 74 year old body. God I needed to laugh. Awaking to my laughter my wife turned in bed in the meantime I can't help myself and let go again. No I wasn’t dreaming I was plain ass happy to be next to my wife here in Danao. Worried Beng ask me was I in trouble? I gave her some halfhearted excuse and she probably thought her old Kano was momentary mad and then she sighed and then going back to sleep. Or maybe she thought my mind was cluttered with some dreams of a neurotic nymphomaniac I knew back in my younger days. NO, I was happy.

Beng is darn smart I have to tell you guys. Junior and I are at loggerheads most the time lately. Whenever we’re playing 20 questions, such as; why weren’t you on time for dinner or where have you been? You guys know what it is like dealing with a 15 year old teenager. Well, don’t you? When we’re finished playing our 20 question game of cat and mouse my adolescence son and I generally end up being pissed off at each other. It’s sort like banging my head against a stone wall. My smart and very patience wife explained to me extremely carefully so I wouldn’t feel like a like a complete idiot, whenever Junior speaks he mumbles and me I am almost stone deaf – it’s like two guys walking through a minefield. WE HAVE NO COMMUNCATION. After Beng told me this bit inform I felt as if I had just been doused with a giant bucket of water. Then her shoulders relaxed and she smiled like Gwyneth Paltrow does in the movies.

It Takes a Village (Hardcover) 

Those were the Days

WE ALL have had the best possible ride anyone could ever have had. Because most of us were born after the “New Deal” had become a done deal, we all enjoyed incredible opportunities. Thanks to the Fair Labor Standards Act, we didn’t have to work ourselves into the ground for a poor man’s wage. We all could actually live on what we made. And thanks to widespread unionization, even if we were in a non-union shop, we still got taken care of better-because a good employee might have jumped to a union shop if he or she wasn’t treated well. Your and my parents, who suffered through both a awful Depression and then WW 2, did everything in their power to make sure that we all never had to suffer what they had gone through. The post-WW 2 era saw American opportunity for everyone who was willing to work for the chance, including minorities and women in due time.

Stream Ship, Trains to Kansas

Pictured is my grandfather – this photo of him was taken around 1900 in Texas. My grandmother Grace Brown married James Curtis "Jewel" Allen on October 3, 1904, in Denton County, Texas. At the time of his death the family was living in Clearwater, Florida. James died in 1913. After the death of her husband, she with her three small caught a steam ship from Tampa, Florida to Galveston, Texas. Once arriving in Galveston she caught a train to West Texas where she and her three children visited with her late husband's relatives. And then the widowed Grace returned to Kansas where she and her three children lived with her mother Ann in Hutchinson, Kansas. To earn a living and to support her three minor children Grace built and opened a rooming house in Pratt. While the new house was being build my Dad along with his two sisters, Marguerite and Maureen, would dig up old buried Indian arrowheads.... A childhood treasure!

Me and San Miguel

Ah yes, I remember the day of drinking my first San Miguel. It was the beer of choice of the navy in my sailor days. Back in 1956 I was introduced to San Miguel in Puerto Rico while stationed at Roosevelt Roads and immediately I enjoyed the taste as much as any other blue blooded bell bottom sailor or sea going marine.  It was available wherever the navy fleet went, Puerto Rico, Hong Kong, Guam and of course the Philippines. Even to this very day I remember that first beer that had been chilled and the sweet taste to my thirsty throat. I hit the jackpot!

Poll shows over half of voters dislike both Dems and GOP

I'm happy to see that people appear to be seeing through the Republican Party. Neither party is really looking out for the interests of the people nor do they both really oppose each other on issues that are relatively unimportant. Take immigration for instance, on the surface, it would appear that both parties are not willing to do anything to stem the tide, despite what the Republicans say. It's real easy; you enforce border security and go after the companies who are illegally hiring these illegal immigrants. Both parties are for big government and uncontrolled spending, while neither party is willing to do anything to stop the corruption, despite what they say.

There seems to be a pattern where we keep trading the Democrats for Republicans and then the Republicans for Democrats, with the same anti-freedom and anti-liberty policies being set. I'm surprised that it is taking so long for the American people to realize that we are no better off with the Republicans than we are with the Democrats and vice versa. They both push the same agenda that benefits interests that are contradictory to our own interests. When the Republicans rule the roost, we get screwed over so we trade them out for the Democrats, only to continue to get screwed over. We repeat this cycle every 6 years or so, meanwhile it is only the American people losing out and the same interests winning. How much longer are we willing to trade one obnoxious party for another?

US walks out on Ahmadinejad's UN speech

UNITED NATIONS – The U.S. delegation walked out of the U.N. speech of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Thursday after he said some in the world have speculated that Americans were behind the Sept. 11 terror attacks, staged in an attempt to assure Israel's survival. He did not explain the logic of that statement that was made as he attacked the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Source: Yahoo.News

Delegates from the US walked out of the UN during a speech by the Iranian President, after he suggested 9/11 was the work of America to save Israel. Diplomacy doesn't appear to be on Ahmadinejad's agenda, does it? I'm not sure he even knows diplomatic speech and behavior exist. Anybody knows not to go into a foreign land and be so harsh with unsubstantiated claims and accusations. He's an asshole, but what do you expect from someone who denies the holocaust happened? Not surprising, really. Some would say he speaks the truth unfettered by the hand of the elite. Others that he is just pushing his luck! Either way this can’t lead to anything good, given the current climate, I am sure this will lead to further diplomatic wrangling and saber rattling. I feel this is just a further escalation in the charade that is global geo-politics.

Another Politician Snow Job

While it may sound like a great idea to have our President sponsor more Government jobs such as building roads and things of that nature, believe me, that's not what we need. The Government doesn't have any more money to spend. The money they do spend is money they have borrowed from overseas. Borrow, borrow, borrow, and then borrow some more. Meanwhile I can just imagine the Washington politicians saying to each other, “That's awesome! That's progress. What a huge step!”

The country was in the great depression in time of FDR but we didn't have the kind of debt we have today. What we need is for our Government to lure back private businesses! When businesses feel like they can grow again, that's when we will see jobs on the rise. Government hand-outs in the form of sponsored projects or welfare, or anything else is like paying a credit card with yet another credit card. Eventually it will lead us to spiral down all the way to the bottom of the hole.

Unbelievable to some, I can almost hear the squeals of politicians as they are voted out of office in the November election.

There is a great deal in this country that truly think like that unfortunately. They have no qualms about spending massive amounts of money to build the infrastructure or provide healthcare to foreign countries. The policy makers in Washington give the impression that the US and its present currency system are toast, along with all pensions, savings, and everything else...Give me a break!

It appears that our lawmakers of today are doing absolutely nothing. And that goes for both Democrats and Republicans.

Mexico, Drugs and the Recession

I wonder sometimes what the politicians in Washington might do in this great recession; they might be able to deflect the jobless recovery for several years by waging war on the drug cartels. Would Mexico allow to a takeover by the cartels or would they willingly turn to the US for guns and butter? Some African nations might go along for the economic benefits.

Invading Mexico would truly bring the drug wars to the US. The Mexican people and the world will not stand by if the US repeats its adventures into Mexico as we did so many years ago. The previous wars were not that popular, except in some regions of the South West. I’m there will be always someone who cheers that. When people in the US start dying because of the stupidity of a leadership that chooses to ignore the reality of what happened with regards to prohibition, the consequences to the cost will be enormous.

The careless attitude expressed about war, suggests someone more interested in a political agenda than anything to benefit Americans, and the misreading of history is enormous. Which is exactly right is saying - worked out in the rise of something similar to Nazism. I can imagine that if the government was looking to take the pressure off the working class they would round up the illegals and send them packing.

In the short-term the government will need some policy to pretend at leadership. I just think that, looking at the prospects, I guess waging a real shoot-em up war with the cartels would be their best shot while waiting out the recession.

I often wonder how the Afghan and Iraq wars have lasted far longer than WWII. Did it take that long to restore the oil fields and get oil flowing again? Didn’t the Al-Queda leave the battle field years ago?

General Powell’s remarks about the President

Here are retired General Powell’s remarks about President Barack Obama on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on last Sunday:

Powell said; “You can't just sit around beating up the President. But the President also has to I think shift the way in which he has been doing things. I think the American People feel that too many programs have come down. There are so many rocks in our knapsack now that we're having trouble carrying it. I think the President has to like a like a razor blade, just go right after the single issue that is uppermost in the minds of the American People and that's employment. And he's done a lot with health care, with cap and trade, with education. And I understand the importance of all of that. But as far as the American People are concerned, the main attack is employment. … I think he has lost some of the ability to connect that he had during the campaign. And it is not just me picking on the President. It's reflected in the polling. Some of the anxiety and anger that you see out there, I think comes from a belief on the part of the American People, whether it's correct or incorrect, and the White House would say it's incorrect, that not enough attention, his singular focus should be on employment…”

President Obama is all these things and more, that's why the confusion. People are left going in all kinds of different directions at once, and aside from being against Obama, there’s nothing new, nothing fresh for Republicans to be for. The Republicans can’t keep their emotional rant against Obama and the Democrats up forever. Sooner or later the anger and fear won’t have the punch they once did, and the Republicans won’t be the party that can take things in new directions. They’ll be the party of tired old rivals. For how can America go forward to reclaim being number one in the world? Given that Smaller Government and Less Spending cannot be the only answer.

But are those jobs quality jobs that a person can support themselves on or low paying service sector minimum wage jobs? We used to make steel in America, now we make happy meals.

Should we listen to the tea party movement?

President Clinton says, “We should all listen to the tea party movement.” 

I sometimes wonder if Sarah Palin supporters, and some tea-partiers, really want to have an actual candidate, or just someone that tells them exactly what they want to hear. Even if it is complete rubbish about Kenya Birth Certificates, Sharia Law, Antichrists and secret Muslims. As far as Palin goes, I personally think it is all an act. Not the fact that she isn't the brightest bulb in the box, that much is true, but I don't think she believes or practices half the stuff that comes out of her mouth. This “mama grizzles, prayer warriors, guns guns guns” crap is just so shameless, because I know the lady is just selling a game to get elected. Here is my message to Palin and the Tea Party; Stop claiming Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Pain and Patrick Henry as your own. They were Libertarians, not theocratic college professors. Stop degrading their name.

Like Bill Maher said, you don't argue with these people. It's like trying to convince a devoted Catholic that there's no God and Evolution is no longer a theory. It's IMPOSSIBLE to get through these folks. But to each their own...if they want to live the lives of bigots, so be it. I'm just afraid of them getting into the White House.

Terry Fox statue in Beacon Hill Park, Victoria, British Columbia























Terrance Stanley "Terry" Fox; (July 28, 1958 – June 28, 1981) was a Canadian humanitarian, athlete, and cancer research activist. In 1980, with one leg having been amputated, he embarked on a cross-Canada run to raise money and awareness for cancer research. Although the spread of his cancer eventually forced him to end his quest after 143 days and 5,373 kilometers (3,339 mi), and ultimately cost him his life, his efforts resulted in a lasting, worldwide legacy. The annual Terry Fox Run, first held in 1981, has grown to involve millions of participants in over 60 countries and is now the world's largest one-day fundraiser for cancer research; over C$500 million has been raised in his name. Fox ran with an unusual gait, as he was required to hop-step on his good leg due to the extra time the springs in his artificial leg required to reset after each step. 

Fox was a distance runner and basketball player for his Port Coquitlam, British Columbia high school and Simon Fraser University. His right leg was amputated in 1977 after he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, though he continued to run using an artificial leg. He also played wheelchair basketball in Vancouver, winning three national championships.

In 1980, he began the Marathon of Hope, a cross-country run to raise money for cancer research. Fox hoped to raise one dollar for each of Canada's 24 million people. He started with little fanfare from St. John's, Newfoundland in April and ran the equivalent of a full marathon every day. Fox had become a national star by the time he reached Ontario; he made numerous public appearances with businessmen, athletes, and politicians in his efforts to raise money. He was forced to end his run outside of Thunder Bay when the cancer spread to his lungs. His hopes of overcoming the disease and completing his marathon ended when he died nine months later.

In the following months, Fox received multiple chemotherapy treatments; however, the disease continued to spread. As his condition worsened, Canadians hoped for a miracle and Pope John Paul II sent a telegram saying that he was praying for Fox. Doctors turned to experimental interferon treatments, though their effectiveness against osteogenic sarcoma was unknown. He suffered an adverse reaction to his first treatment, but continued the program after a period of rest.

Fox was re-admitted to hospital on June 19, 1981, with chest congestion and developed pneumonia. He fell into a coma and died at 4:35 a.m. PDT on June 28, 1981, with his family by his side. The Government of Canada ordered flags across the country lowered to half mast, an unprecedented honor that was usually reserved for statesmen. Addressing the House of Commons, Trudeau said, “It occurs very rarely in the life of a nation that the courageous spirit of one person unites all people in the celebration of his life and in the mourning of his death ... We do not think of him as one who was defeated by misfortune but as one who inspired us with the example of the triumph of the human spirit over adversity.”

Fox was the youngest person ever named a Companion of the Order of Canada, the highest rank of the nation's highest civilian award. He won the 1980 Lou Marsh Award as the nation's top sportsman and was named Canada's Newsmaker of the Year in both 1980 and 1981. Considered a national hero, he has had many buildings, roads and parks named in his honor across the country.

Los Angeles spent $70 million in stimulus funds to create 7.76 jobs
A new piece of evidence has emerged in the debate over the effectiveness of President Obama's 2009 stimulus package, and it's not good for Democrats. According to two newly released audits performed by the Los Angeles controller, L.A. spent enormous portions of the $594 million in stimulus funds it received on projects that created or saved just a handful of jobs. All told, the audits - available - examined $111 million in stimulus spending by the city's Department of Transportation and Department of Public Works, and found that the money went to projects that created or retained just 54 jobs. That works out to roughly $2 million per job.

The $71 million that went to the Department of Public Works, which funded 15 road-surfacing and similar projects, was projected to save or create 238 jobs. But according to the audit, the money created just 7.76 jobs or slightly more than $10 million per new job and saved 37.7 (the fractions are a result of calculating the number of jobs by hours worked). The Department of Transportation's $40 million created or retained just nine jobs, the audit found.
