Sliding to tanking..............from Rico
The proverbial cheese has been sliding off the US Dollar's cracker for a long time now, so it is NO SURPRISE to read Matt Drudge's banner today:
CHINA-RUSSIA QUIT DOLLAR
Well no kidding!
Unless you have been 'distracted' by the happy-face MSM/FTV telling you "it's gonna be OK" and/or the faux "reality" TV programming you surely expected something like this. You also expect something like foreign sovereign states stopping their purchases of US Treasurys/Gov't Bonds which are J. Wellington Wimpey-esque promises to 'pay you someday for your money today' when they figure-out they aren't going to get paid because ALL the money the USG is currently spending is borrowed because it's broke [read: flat-busted, insolvent, bankrupt].

Animal Rights Group Condemns Sarah Palin 'Snuff Film'
They've cut the clip here, but at about 35 seconds Sarah Palin whaps a halibut: WaPo has the story, "Sarah Palin's 'Snuff Film' Has Animal Rights Group Angry." But according the Alaska Charter Association (via JWF), "Halibut clubbing is actually a standard practice among fishermen."
You don't say?

National Opt Out Day
I've got an epic roundup here: "National Opt-Outapalooza!"
UPDATES throughout the night at American Power.
Pike River Mine Accident
For those of you following the Pike River mine accident in New Zealand, there was a second blast yesterday afternoon our time confirming the volitility of the mine which had prevented any rescue effort from entering the mine since the first blast last Friday afternoon.
The twenty nine men unaccounted for are now presumed dead with it being very likely they died in the intial blast.
Their ages ranged from 17 to 62 and 24 were New Zealanders, 2 Australians, 2 Scots and 1 South African.
We would now like the international media to leave the West Coast area please and stp trying to second guess actual experts and play the blame game. Miners, their families and freinds can get very hostile when you push them. We can't make our own media go away, but they're on borrowed time too.
Book of the Day: 'Afghan Faces'
Afghan Faces is a high quality publication reflecting upon the daily life of Afghan people through their faces.
After print costs all the profits from the sale of Afghan Faces and the book launch dinner, auction and raffle, will be donated to the charities that Afghan Faces is supporting: Help For Heroes, The Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund and Sandy Gall's Afghanistan Appeal.

ASB TV: Winner of ASB Mustang Ride
The legendary P-51 Mustang brought men home safely, ended a war, and every once in a while it unexpectedly changes lives.
AirShowBuzz is privileged to bring you the story of a woman whose family faced incredible hardships and the news every family fears. On a whim and prayer, she entered the Horsemen P-51 Mustang flight sweepstakes with hope and the chance of good news for her family of five.
With the click of a mouse, Pamela Pfeninger's luck changed when her name was drawn as the winner of the mustang flight. The story could end there, but it became so much more as the magical mustang once again united a thankful family and showed that sometime the P-51 can be fueled by love.
Pre-Christmas Reminder.........
T’was the month before Christmas
When all through our land,
Not a Christian was praying
Nor taking a stand.
See the PC Police had taken away,
The reason for Christmas - no one could say.
The children were told by their schools not to sing,
About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.
It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say
December 25th is just a ' Holiday '.
Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit
Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!
CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-pod
Something was changing, something quite odd!
Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa
In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.
As Targets were hanging their trees upside down
At Lowe's the word Christmas - was no where to be found.
At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears
You won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your ears.
Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-si-ty
Are words that were used to intimidate me.
Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen
On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton !
At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter
To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.
And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith
Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace
The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded
The reason for the season, stopped before it started.
So as you celebrate 'Winter Break' under your 'Dream Tree'
Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.
Choose your words carefully, choose what you say
Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS , not Happy Holiday !
Please, all Christians join together and
wish everyone you meet during the holidays a
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Christ is The Reason for the Christ-mas Season!
