TREYNOR HIGH SCHOOL SHOOTING DRILL
Nothing less than a thinly-disguised anti-gun, anti-Tea Party propaganda exercise by the Department of Homeland Security; they canceled this outrage after the Citizenry alerted on it.

Reflections from the Seat of an Old Tractor..............
Keep skunks and bankers at a distance.
Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.
A bumble bee is faster than a John Deere.
Words that soak into your ears are whispered... not yelled.
Meanness don't just happen overnight.
Don't corner something meaner than you.
It don't take a very big person to carry a grudge.
You can't unsay a cruel word.
Every path has a few puddles.
When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.
Most of the stuff people worry about, ain't never gonna happen anyway.
Live a good and honorable life, then when you get older and think back, you'll enjoy it a second time.
Be there for your friends and they'll be there for you.
Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.
Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.
Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin' it back in.
If you start thinkin' you have some influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around.
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he's too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly, and leave the rest to God.

Something BIG?...........from Rico
Look at what has happened to the 'monetary base' at the start of 2011.
No, this is not QE2...that would have shown up on this chart in late 2010.
Something BIG is happening 'behind the scenes' and the FED is freaking out.
Whatever it is, it's NOT good.
And, while you will NOT see this Dollar chart anytime soon on the evening news or FTV, our Treasury Secretary Timmy and our FED Chairman Benny certainly are fully aware and KNOW exactly what this means...........they're just not saying while pretending that everything will be "allright" along with all of the teleprompter readers from Katie Couric to Barry Soetoro.
Significant damage has been done, but John Q. Public hasn't figured out the details (or the impact) quite yet.
F-15 Eagles assigned to the 44th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron at Kadena Air Base, Japan, fly over Thailand March 23, 2011, prior to starting an exercise scenario during Cope Tiger 2011, which runs from March 14 through 25. Participants of Cope Tiger include the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Marine Corps, the Royal Thai Air Force, Royal Thai Army and the Republic of Singapore Air Force. (U.S. Air Force photo/Master Sgt.

Earth hour?...............from Rico
Yes, the Eco-terrorists aka ecotard, enviro-weenies, moonbats, and flaming Commies want you to 'celebrate' their idea of Earth Hour (by turning-off everything that lights-heats-refrigerates .....er, uses energy) on the half hour for an hour tonight at 8:30pm.
- Sit in the dark, be cold and hungry to please your Comrades and make Mother Gaia happy! Social justice and saving-the-planet [read: Communism] can do that for you. Ingrates!
Yeah, good plan that!
I join Vilmar in wanting to tell all the:
- tofu-farting, lily-livered, twig-eating, Prius-driving, Freedom-hating, can't we all just get along, Birkenstock-wearing, kumbaya-singing, bleeding-heart-librul, Starbucks-swilling, elitistpansies
to:
- ki$$ my a$$ while reading Albert Gore's electric bill from his TN mansion,
AND I'll not only turn-on all of my incandescent lights, but maybe practice some night-firing techniques with live ammo at 20:30 hours tonight.
Earth hour? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr?
PS - Some of us will remember 'Reddy Kilowatt' who was the Ronald MacDonald of the generation that saw the electrification of modernity and scrapped their kerosene lamps in favor of electricity and thomas Alva Edison's light bulb.

A Controversy Over the Movie 'Miral'
A full report at the blog: "The Controversy Over 'Miral'."
I'm hoping to head up to the Landmark tonight, in West Los Angeles, to catch "Miral," the new pro-Palestinian film from director Julian Schnabel. I'm skeptical of the review at the Los Angeles Times, which quotes Schnabel in defense of his movie:
