New York Legislature Passes Gay Marriage Bill
And from my analysis:
... the progressive sensationalism on this is deeply offensive, for example, "The arc of history bends towards justice in N.Y." Actually, gay marriage is not a civil right. Gay Americans are not an oppressed minority, but one of the most affluent and powerful interest groups in American politics. That's why a federal solution to the gay marriage issue remains vital. The gay radical lobby will browbeat kind and reasonable Americans, folks who don't want to put up with the fuss of being hammered over the head or dragged before Stalinist show trials. It's pretty bad, but it's the way things are going around here.Check the essay for all the links.
Divorced Father Thomas Ball Commits Suicide on Steps of New Hampshire Courthouse
An intense story that's generated great controversy, albeit largely out of the MSM spotlight, which is too bad: "'Pure Feminist Evil' — Amanda Marcotte's Response to Thomas Ball's Courthouse Self-Immolation."
Be sure to follow the links at the post, where there's lots of background information.
Peter Falk a.k.a. Columbo
London, England
Was terribly sad to hear about the passing of Peter Falk. For years he was on the small screen as Columbo in that wonderful American television series. As a child of the television age, I would spend far too many hours watching Batman, The Man From UNCLE and repeats of Top Cat. Although I remember these programmes well and it brings back wonderful childhood memories,, could I have been a better student without them? Probably. How many of us can recollect a television programme from 25 or 30 years ago? You're more likely to remember a great Hollywood blockbuster like The Godfather. Wasted years - maybe.
Take a look at some great British television from the 1960's and early 70's

Keeping up "appearances".............from Rico
While everyone is 'distracted' by the ongoing kabuki theater (a.k.a. manipulation nation) on the national level, no one is noticing the fact that while the USG has the FED to print all the money it wants to spend (errr....borrow), our States do not have this option. States are laying off employees, cutting back on services, and are underfunded in their pension plans.
So, while the US "appears" to have 50 States, the financial reality is there are:
- 20 Portugals
- 15 Italys
- 10 Irelands
- 3 Greeces
and
- 2 Spains

Obama's Strategic Oil Reserve Scam
Clever fraud that Obama and his "community organizers" are perpetrating upon the American public. Right out of Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals.
Blame the release of oil from our Strategic Petroleum Reserve on disruption from Libya, knowing that Libya oil imports last year were less than 8/10th of 1% of our foreign oil imports, the proverbial drop in the bucket.
"The oil price" drops immediately, fooling the public, even before any Strategic Petroleum Reserve oil flows down a pipeline. Apparently, this does not seem strange to our liberal media which eagerly reports the decrease in "the oil price."
But, Obama and his "community organizers" know that "the oil price," the ONLY oil price reported by the media, is the Wall Street gamblers' guess of the commodity oil price six (6) months in the future. They also know that the ACTUAL oil prices reported by the Department of Energy have been increasing for five (5) straight weeks and the ACTUAL OPEC oil price last week was $114.15 a barrel.
Our liberal media hides the ACTUAL oil prices. The media does not want anyone to know that US oil is always cheaper than OPEC foreign oil.
A very clever fraud. With the help of the media, it will probably work.
