Get religion

Here's the big news flash from the psychologists at University of Miami.

It's fun for religious people to be studied for the obvious. Yes, we do it better, and some head-shrinks have gotten themselves paid for noticing.

Ya, we live longer, are happier, are healthier, give more love, get more love,
even get more sex.

HA!

You reap what you sow, ya know......

2008 --> 2009

Prayers for a happy New Year.......

May the Lord bless and keep Obama
far away from US.

worth a look

Check out this scene from a demonstration in Manhattan, apparently in favor of Hamas.

The pic is PRICELESS. Pass it on!

Palin's Grandson

One way to announce the Birth of Sarah Palin's grandson is to present the evolution of the AP coverage of this blessed event.

Courtesy of Warner Todd Huston of News Busters, we get to see how the Associated Press thought to cover the story, first by telling us how Bristol's pregnancy caused Mom's campaign to "go downhill". Then they modified this story by speaking of "dark clouds" over the campaign, as a result of Bristol being pregnant before marriage.

Finally the AP put an end to all the liberal Judgment of Bristol's unplanned pregnancy with this final modification: "ANCHORAGE, Alaska – The daughter of former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has given birth to a son, a magazine reported Monday."

Way to go, AP!!!

Congrat's to Bristol and daddy Levi Johnston on the birth of Tripp. Over here in "flyover country" we're glad that you decided to have your baby and raise him, rather than getting an abortion, as so many do these days. Prayers for you -and best wishes to you in your endeavors.

Holocaust isn't for Oprah to cover

How about leaving the Holocaust for serious historians to dig up and illuminate ?

Oprah, who invited the purveyor of a touching holocaust story on her show, praised his story as “the single greatest love story ... we've ever told on air”. The only problem is that this story, set to be published by Penguin books, and made into a film, is a fraud.

Our current crop of media fluff peddlers can't get it right, so they need to leave it alone. Puhleeeze Oprah, stick to your diet, and cover addictive behaviors or something.

While we're at it, the mainstream media needs to stay out of science reporting too. They're pathetic in that area also.

Ya KNOW!!!

Worse than my first live interview, she is.......... waaaay worse. And I'm a pharmacist, not a politician, nor a lawyer.


"I'm really coming into this as somebody who isn't, you know, part of the system, who obviously, you know, stands for the values of, you know, the Democratic Party,"

Poor Caroline Kennedy is NOT ready for primetime! Ya know! Someone has got to give her the word.

Give it up, lady.

Biofuel from LIPOSUCTIONS!

This is the ultimate in recycling. Dr. Craig Alan Bittner of Beverly Hills, CA wins first prize for fueling his car with biodiesel made from human fat.

The enterprising plastic surgeon had totally gone green by using the fat obtained from his patients to produce fuel. Unfortunately (and wouldn't it figure), California has a law against using human medical waste as fuel. Also, it appears that Dr. Bittner was a bit overenthusiastic in removing adipose tissue from some patients, leaving them unsatisfied with results, which were deemed physically disfiguring.

So, while it took many years to close down the abortion facilities of the non licensed practitioner, Bertha Bugarin, the action against Dr. Bittner proceeded much more quickly, and it seems that he has exited the country.

Woman delivers twins in the street -Windsor Canada

This case might not be directly attributable to the socialized medicine system in Canada, though it is likely that the patient's failure to access mental health services might be indirectly related.

On a snowy Christmas eve in Windsor Canada, a bloodied woman was seen by two police officers clutching a baby to herself. While ambulances were arriving, the woman gave birth to a second child as she stood screaming.

The woman and children received treatment at Windsor Regional Hospital. One of the twins was in serious condition while the mother and the other twin were listed in good condition.

Merry Christmas

Just waking up.... before Christmas is actually OVER. hope yours is goooooooood.

Catholic Health Association and Planned Parenthood

Sister Carol Keehan, DC
President and CEO
Catholic Health Association


Dear Sister Carol Keehan,


Below is an excerpt from an admittedly prolife biased news source.

by Steven Ertelt
LifeNews.com Editor
December 10, 2008

"Pro-life advocates know Obama has chosen another abortion activist for a key position when Planned Parenthood issues a press release saying it is "excited" about the pick.

“We also applaud the appointment of Jeanne Lambrew," the abortion business said in a statement LifeNews.com obtained. "She is one of the leading health policy experts in the country, and someone who is an advocate for" abortion.

Planned Parenthood said Lambrew will make a good team with pro-abortion former Sen. Tom Daschle, who Obama selected as his Health and Human Services Secretary.

“We are confident that President-elect Barack Obama, incoming HHS Secretary Daschle, and Jeanne Lambrew will represent an administration committed to ensuring women’s access to" abortion, the group said.

"Planned Parenthood is excited about the opportunity of having true partners in the White House and HHS," it added."


It seems that you also share excitement for the appointment of Tom Daschle as HHS secretary, and Jeanne Lambrew as deputy director of a newly created White house office for health care reform as stated on the Catholic Health Alliance website : http://www.chausa.org/Pub/MainNav/Newsroom/NewsReleases/2008/r081211a.htm.

It's not looking good for you to be publicly represented as having alignment with Planned Parenthood regarding Obama's selection of people to oversee U.S. health care policy.

This is the link to the actual Cecile Richards statement showing excitement for the same two Obama choices which your statement
applauds. http://www.plannedparenthood.org/newsroom/politics-policy-issues/statement-cecile-richards-president-planned-parenthood-federation-america-applauding-nomination-23376.htm

Here is a google search which, on Dec 17, showed the already considerable linkage between your statement and that of Planned Parenthood.
http://www.google.com/search?q=planned+parenthood+daschle+lambrew+statement&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

You might wish to address this public relations problem. I don't imagine that there can be much said to sway personal views IF they are really as stated in the CHA statement. However it might be useful to ask you to consider that many bishops are speaking of closing portions of Catholic health care facilities if Obama's FOCA is passed. Alternatively, if the Bishops lack such fortitude in leading us to follow Catholic teaching on Life issues, there is the consideration that large funding sources to the Catholic health care facilities will dry up if donors discover that health care professionals within the Catholic institutions are no longer able to practice in a way that shows respect for human life, and that patients cannot rely on such respect.

There has been considerable disparity between what actually happens at some Catholic health care institutions, and Catholic teaching on the sanctity of life. I don't think it's good PR, however, to blur the overall distinction between Catholic health care and Planned Parenthood itself.

God Bless!

No Change

Jay Carney, Time magazine's Washington Bureau Chief is leaving after 20 years to take a position as Joe Biden's spokesman (director of communications).

NO CHANGE!

Google edits the searches

We've all known this for a good while. It became really obvious to pro-life people YEARS ago.. But Google is admitting that its staff edits the searches and proposes some alternative mechanisms by which the items can be selected for washing from the Google-land.

Do recall the two articles washed from Google cache, which describe the meeting between Obama and Blagojevich. If you haven't seen them, just scroll down a few posts from here and follow the links to where the very sharp eyed Bizzy blogster is storing them.

Dinesh D'Sousa says Peter Singer is on the Run

You probably remember the infamous Australian import, Peter Singer, "bioethicist" of Princeton University. He's famous for his views that killing kids up to three years old, is OK, if they're not found to be suitable.

D'Sousa has been engaging in public debate with Singer, and reports that Singer is refusing to defend these views and their relationship to denying the existence of the Creator. Check it out here. Maybe Singer's getting old and tired. I do recall that Singer was quite unwilling to remove his own mother from this earthly existence when she became disabled.

If that link stops working, maybe backclick it, save link location, cut and paste in your browser and try to correct the spelling of Singers name in the link. I know they're going to get around to that. It's messed up as "Signer" in the headline and the link, at this time.

Palin's Church Burned by Arsonist

An estimated 1 million dollars of damage was done to the Wasilla Bible Church by an arsonist on Friday night (Dec 12). A small group of people were inside during the attack, but all escaped without injury.

Pastor Larry Kroon would not comment concerning any possible threats, however the congregation has received an expression of regret from Sarah Palin concerning the possibility that negative media coverage stemming from her campaign might have brought on the attack.

Check here for a slide show of the church.

This article seems to draw an association between the attack on Palin's church and the political incorrectness of suggesting that homosexuality is a painful condition that possibly can be alleviated through faith based means.

We should anticipate more of this. In the current climate of intolerance for religion, it is expected that churches will be burned with relative impunity.

Yes Obama met with Blagojevich

When there are photos and news reports of meetings already stored on the internet, it is a bad idea to deny that a meeting took place. Someone needs to whisper this in Obama's ear.

So, while you still can, look here for the "before story" and here for the "after story" of Obama meeting with Blagojevich to discuss his senate replacement. The media and search engines have apparently been scrubbing away these records. Congratulations to Bizzyblogger, Tom Blumer for a job well done.

Anh Joseph Cao, Rep LA congressman

Here's a notable election result, since Louisiana is undergoing such transformations in cleaning up its political scene.

Democrat congressman, William Jefferson, of the cold, hard cash, (bribery money stored in the freezer) was replaced by Anh Joseph Cao in an unlikely upset. Cao is a lawyer, representing members of the largely immigrant community in the eastern part of New Orleans. This is a tight knit group which has become a model for rebuilding efforts after the hurricanes.

Mr. Cao immigrated to the U.S., at age 8, as a refugee after the fall of Saigon in 1975. He was educated in Philosophy at Fordham University, and later obtained a degree in law. He and his wife, Kate Hieu Hoang, have 2 daughters, Sophia and Betsy.

Cao is a member of the strong Vietnamese Catholic Church in his community. Not unexpectedly, Mr. Cao characterizes himself as a political moderate, with the exception of a firm policy against abortion.

Fembot

If any of you oldsters thought that Lt. Commander Data of Star Trek the Next Generation was weird....... Le Trung, of Canada has his very own robotic girlfriend named Aiko. He thinks she's the perfect woman. She never complains and she works almost 24 hours a day. Aiko is Le Trung's very own invention. This guy started early, designing his first robot at age 8. His latest model, is fairly life-like, touch sensitive, with an extensive vocabulary and ability to keep books.

By the way, the name Aiko means love, with the diminutive "child" ending that you see attached to a lot of female Japanese names. This robot is a love machine, though her inventor did not design her for sex. If you touch her the wrong way, she'll slap you.

Apparently Aiko doesn't fool around.

Gov. Rod Blagojevich is going DOWN!!!

I do remember predicting lawsuits for Rod Blagojevich due to his very strong stand against the conscience rights of medical professionals. Many of those lawsuits are still in progress, and I suppose that the Governor will have plenty of time to spend with the good attorneys, giving depositions relevant to these cases, while he's in prison. Perhaps in the coming years, the visits from these lawyers will allow him to recall formerly having authority and words that people wanted to hear.

On to the reasons for Blagojevich circling the drain:
In a nutshell, the Feds have him for conspiring to SELL OBAMA's Senate Seat!!! Yessir! A federal judge had been given reason enough to allow FBI wiretapping of the Governors dealings, and this effort yielded bountiful incriminating evidence directly implicating the governor in attempting to obtain financial gain from his authority to choose the next senator from Illinois.

In addition, there have been illegal maneuverings against the Tribune company, (threat to block financial backing which would allow the company to 'sell' the Cubs and Wrigley field) in an attempt to alter the Tribune's editorial board. The 'financial backing' was sort of a scheme with the Illinois Finance Authority to save the struggling Tribune Corporation a good deal of tax expenditures. Blagojevich wished to tie the state assistance to an agreement from the Tribune to fire editors who had been critical of him.


Back to the predictions department. Rezko has to be singing for reduced time in the slammer.
(There has been a Grand Jury subpoena served up to the Mutual bank concerning Obama's land deal with Rezko.)

Now Blagojevich will sing. Many of these songs will be about Obama, another member of the Chicago Cartel, otherwise thought of as government in the state of Illinois. I believe that Obama will be the next Democrat presidential Impeachment, if the courts do not disqualify him for failure to prove himself a natural born citizen of the U.S.

Montana Judge legalizes assisted suicide

Montana district court Judge, Dorothy McCarter, has apparently legislated from the bench to make assisted suicide legal in her state.

The judge's new law allows prescribing and obtaining medication for the purpose of suicide to be without legal penalty for those who are mentally competent and terminally ill.

This makes Montana the third state after Oregon and Washington to permit assisted suicide.

Elder Abuse

The Smoking Gun brings us a story of young caregivers at a Minnesota Nursing home mistreating the residents. Criminal charges have been brought against the two who are over age 18 for abuse including physical torment and sexual contact. I had seen but passed over this story as too disgusting to present on the blog. The thought of the elderly being unsafe in a place which is designed to protect them is disturbing. But another story brought it back to my mind.

It seems that 27 year old Jon Favreau had some pictures taken of himself and an associate playing with a cutout of sixty-something Hillary Clinton. The friend is offering the Hillary cutout a beer, and Favreau is striking a pose of groping her breast. This and other pics were placed on Favreau's facebook site, but were removed after about two hours.

One wonders why a guy, in a position as Obama's chief speechwriter would post such pics of himself. It could be that he completely lacks a sense that some people could find the behavior a bit odd or disgusting. There are certain types of people from whom I would expect all sorts of unusual behavior, but it's rare for even those people to "do it in the road" displaying it for all to see.

Yep.... this is Obama's chief speechwriter, ... the guy who conveys in words, the lofty ideals and virtue of the next president..... as he would have others see him.

Republicans to get Laryngitis from Non Stop Filibustering.

I hope the remaining Republicans are willing to sacrifice their voices for America. Saxby Chambliss (R- GA)won his bid for Senatorial office, and so the Dems don't have their magic 60 percent required to completely ruin our lives.

This is a good thing. I might need to move to Georgia now, since 60 percent of those people are normal enough to realize that letting the Democrats totally run the U.S. would not be healthy.

Big smile.

Lawsuits aplenty, and this stuff is all over the Internet

Pharmer is watching the fun of these 17 lawsuits, filed mostly by democrats, concerning the citizenship of Obama. There's a collection of evidence that the Obamanator is not a natural born citizen of the U.S., and is therefore unqualified to be President. Two lawsuits are pending consideration by the U.S. Supreme court. Look up docket's here if that floats your boat.
In addition, Obama appears to be a bit outside the constitution with respect to nominating Hillary as Secretary of State. There's a rule against nominating an elected official, during the term which they are elected to serve, to fill an appointment to office such as the Cabinet. This has been done by two prior Democrat presidents, I understand, but who's watching?
HA.
and here's a cool link to an analysis of Obama's selective service registration. Seems that the form is waaaaay newer than his signature is supposed to be. Check it out! Way to go, Debbie Schlussel.

How about that? A nice short one packed with fun links to read. I must be getting lazy.
