Doubling-down in 2012?.............from Rico

It will indeed be interesting to see if the dumbasses that elected Soetoro-Obama will double-down on DUMB in 2012.
If they have not learned anything from the fiasco of the past three years, that would make them double dumbasses
- and ALL of us severely unhappy as a result...

Children Writing About the Ocean...

1)This is a picture of an octopus. It has eight testicles.(Kelly,age 6)

2)-Oysters' balls are called pearls. (Jerry, age 6)

3)-If you are surrounded by ocean, you are an island. If you don't
have ocean all round you, you are incontinent. (Andy, age 7)

4)-Sharks are ugly and mean, and have big teeth, just like Emily
Richardson. She's not my friend any more. (Kylie,age 6)

5)-A dolphin breaths through an ass hole on the top of its head.
(Billy, age 8)

6)-My uncle goes out in his boat with 2 other men and a woman and pots
and comes back with crabs. (Millie, age 6)

7)-When ships had sails, they used to use the trade winds to cross the
ocean. Sometimes when the wind didn't blow the sailors would whistle to
make the wind come. My brother said they would have been better off
eating beans. (William, age 7)

8)-Mermaids live in the ocean. I like mermaids. They are beautiful and
I like their shiny tails, but how on earth do mermaids get pregnant?
Like, really? (Helen, age 6)

9)-I'm not going to write about the ocean. My baby brother is always
crying, my Dad keeps yelling at my Mom, and my big sister has just got
pregnant, so I can't think what to write. (Amy, age 6)

10)-Some fish are dangerous. Jellyfish can sting. Electric eels can
give you a shock. They have to live in caves under the sea where I think
they have to plug themselves in to chargers.
(Christopher, age7)

11)-When you go swimming in the ocean, it is very cold, and it makes
my Willy small. (Kevin, age 6)

12)-Divers have to be safe when they go under the water. Divers can't
go down alone, so they have to go down on each other. (Becky, age 8)

13) - On vacation my Mom went water skiing. She fell off when she was
going very fast. She says she won't do it again because water fired
right up her big fat ass. (Julie, age 7)

14)-The ocean is made up of water and fish. Why the fish don't drown
I don't know.(Bobby, age 6)

15)-Mydad was a sailor on the ocean. He knows all about the ocean.
What he doesn't know is why he quit being a sailor and married my mom.
(James, age 7)

Crime is up in Greece, perhaps an omen for the EU: "Greeks Vexed By Growing Crime."

And closer to home, some of the economic realities folks aren't talking about: "It's Not Just About the Millionaires."

And let's hope this doesn't happen to you: "Kids' Return Home Takes Toll on Parents."

And some diversions, from Instapundit, "Glenn Reynolds Test-Drives the Nissan Leaf," and "Black Sabbath Reunion and Tour."

Official rules of Bedroom Golf.................

1. Each player shall furnish his own equipment for play - normally one club and two balls.

2. Play on a course must be approved by the owner of the hole.

3. Unlike outdoor golf, the object is to get the club in the hole and keep the balls out.

4. Course owners are permitted to check shaft stiffness before play begins.

5. Course owners reserve the right to restrict club length to avoid damage to the hole.

6. The object of the game is to take as many strokes as necessary until the course owner is satisfied that play is complete. Failure to do so may result in being denied permission to play the course again.

7. It is considered bad form to begin playing the hole immediately upon arrival at the course. The experienced player will normally take time to admire the entire course with special attention to well formed bunkers.

8. Players are cautioned not to mention other courses they have played , or are currently playing, to the owner of the course being played. Upset course owners have been known to damage players equipment for this reason.

9. Players are encouraged to bring proper rain gear for their own protection.

10. Players should ensure themselves that their match has been properly scheduled, particularly when a new course is being played for the first time. Previous players have been known to become irate if they discover someone else playing on what they considered to be a private course.

11. Players should not assume a course is in shape for play at all times. Some players may be embarrassed if they find the course to be temporarily under repair. Players are advised to be extremely tactful in this situation. More advanced players will find alternative means of play when this is the case.

12. The course owner is responsible for manicuring and pruning any bush around the hole to allow for improved viewing of, alignment with, and approach to the hole.

13. Players are advised to obtain the course owners permission before attempting to play the back nine.

14. Slow play is encouraged. However, players should be prepared to proceed at a quicker pace, at least temporarily, at the course owners request.

15. It is considered outstanding performance, time permitting, to play the same hole several times in one match.

Obama Making The World Safe For Political Islam.............by Dan Friedman

Hillary Clinton gave a major foreign policy address on Monday articulating the Obama Administration’s updated policy toward the Arab uprisings, and it didn’t get the news coverage it deserved. That was probably to be expected, since her speech revealed a pronounced tilt toward the Islamists vying for political power after the “Arab Spring.” A tilt that will discomfit many Americans. Luckily, some people were paying attention. Here are two reactions from solid Middle East analysts with disparate viewpoints and approaches who both reacted to Hillary’s remarks with similar raised eyebrows.

This is actually very important, especially if you are concerned about where Obama is leading our country.

I urge you click on the links and read both items. Then pass them on.

More Questions Than Answers in Secretary Clinton’s Remarks on the Arab Uprisings

One of the consequences of Secretary of State Clinton’s speech will be for people in the Middle East to conclude that the United States now endorses Islamist parties.

-- Robert M. Danin, Council on Foreign Relations, November 8, 2011

It’s Official: Obama Administration Promotes Islamist Regimes; Insists They are Moderate

But now there can be no doubt that Obama’s Middle East policy is engaged in what might be the biggest blunder in the history of U.S. foreign policy.
