Christmas thoughts...................from Brian
When I grew up and in your case when you grew up, Americans still looked out for each other,, few if any wanted to take food stamps,, so family and friends came thru as they always had,, now it is different and fewer people have that back ground,, so fewer people help and the burden has fallen on our GOV,, All the gov does is take out monies from us and give it to people WE never would,, leaving us less to help the people we should.
These thoughts always happen at Christmas, the fact that those i know, the local people here are in dire straights but what little i had that might have helped with a meal, or maybe a gas payment to keep their heat on is now in some crack whores pocket feeding her addiction as she pumps out more money making babies.
So,,this is Christmas...what have we become? I still help, I volunteer at a local AMVETS Post. I cook, I help set up events, I am on the Board, I go to the meetings, I help with food runs, I help with the local retirement homes. The list is long, I do not get a dime out of it, Hell I usually give what change I have to the Post to help cover costs. The IDEA of Americans helping Americans is not dead, but it has holed up in small tiny spots that generally are affiliated with the Military or prior military.
Christmas is where I spend time with my Family and my friends.(.inside that phrase is included blood family and Military family)...Have a great Christmas and if you get an extra dime donate to a military charity. If not hell stop by an AMVETS go in and have a drink with a crusty old Sergeant and listen to his stories. You might end up listening to me.
Merry Christmas all

Newt Gingrich and The Anti-Soros...............by Dan Friedman
The Jewish Daily Forward is a left-leaning newspaper, and true to form, this story begins by highlighting Newt’s strong ties to billionaire Sheldon Adelson and the Jewish community, then ends by attempting to diminish their significance. Hey, but that’s the way the game is played.

"The german view is that this is all that is needed to convince markets to buy spanish and italian debt."
In the spirit of Burke and Wills...
Those of you unfamiliar with the New Zealand landscape may be somewhat surprised to learn that we even have deserts, several in fact.
And of course being loons descended from loons who came 12,000 by sea to get here, we're just going to walk across one of them... in midsummer. Early next month about twenty people in various rolls will be undertaking an expedition to cross the McKenzie basin on foot though some of most magnificent scenery on the planet.
Naturally this effort isn't hard enough already so its going to be done in the kit of the traditional Victorian era explorers. The activity is being filmed, documented and made into a documentary. Were I inclined to be less cynical I'd tell you that it will be some good reality TV. But no such thing exists, anyway this isn't "reality" TV, this is reality. Those participating will be able to give insights that have been forgotten a long time ago because hell we're all pretty much just plain soft now. It is going to be hard, very hard. Personally I do not expect all of those planning to do the walk to finish the 120 mile trek.
I know the area, I spent a couple of years there in army and a lot of it may have looked really good in Lord of the Rings playing its part as the Rohan, but it kind of blows when you don't have a helicopter to get you back to air-conditioned luxury hotel room thank you very much. That's why I'm running a support group with a troop of WWII period jeeps, trucks and a NAFFI truck. We'll be leap frogging ahead to prepare the base camps and carry out our primary function of trying to ensure that none of the walkers die on us. Those that do finish the walk will end it the shadow of Mount Cook and in the footsteps of men like Kipling, Churchill, Haast and our own Ed Hillary.
All ripping yarns and boys own stuff sure, but we need help. On several levels, but most particularly we need money in order to feed our crew and fuel our vehicles. At this point we need an additional $4,000 NZD ($3,000 USD) to make our budget. If you think supporting a bunch of colonial loons challenging the nature is a worthy cause, then please contact me for more information on how you can help and what you stand to gain from it. Alternatly if you're up for making a small donation you can do that too via paypal.
We could always use more help too by way of spreading the word so by all means repeat this request.
