I've no time to do a lot of posting; but I did gather a few notes as to what is interesting to me. First, Wisconsin is still doing the powderkeg thing; with 10,000 progtards and dirty socialists having a meet-up in Madison today. Heh.
Baracky is a liar. Who knew?
Well, we knew it would happen soon enough.
Newt Gingrich is a Good Man, but I don't think I'll be able to support him for 2012. But he is leagues above Mitch Daniels right now.
The Nashville City Paper, of which I've been a long-time 'member', has an article on Mosques and Muslims and Islam, oh my! on which I left a comment, as follows...

Religion is an evolutionary construct that's been around since the cavemen got smart enough to realize that they were going to die; and realizing that, some of the more intelligent cavemen needed to find new ways to motivate the tribe to keep in line, to keep hunting and to move the masses forward to the next generation. Organized religion has nothing to do with the belief in a non-transigente creator (God) but more to do with the organization of people to follow rules and be compliant to rulers who need such compliance to do deeds and services (and, unfortunately for us all, some organize religions to control people to malignant ends).
As 'antisocial' has pointed out, earlier versions of the bible illustrate such early attempts to control the Jews. Fortunately, Christians got relief from all of that hardship and undertook a new direction a couple thousand years ago; leaving the books of the Old Testament to pretty much afterthoughts. Also, unfortunately, the birth and death of the Christ opened up new avenues for 'community organization' that, over centuries, caused much conflict with the original Christ's teachings. Fortunately, all of that was swept away in the Reformation, and has continuously been 'moderated' by the advent of science (which is the 'new' religion to many people, but still an organized religion...).
Islam was created by a warrior, Mohammed, to control various factions of people in a harsh desert climate; Islam (or Mohammedism) was successful in it's violent bid (because of it's violent nature) to take over and rule (by strong force) many nations. Unlike Christianity, it's never seen any Reformation; it's not changed overmuch since it's inception.
Islam is very easily used by various Imams and Ayatollahs (and Saudi Princes) to control it's own people. Sharia law is the tool, the sharp scimitar, that gets these things done.
We, now, are on the verge of eliminating all organized religion from our Modern Life, at least in America and on the 'enlightened' European continent. Unfortunately, there's never been a nation in the history of this planet that's done so and survived. Religion is as necessary as the air we breathe. But the Muslim religion MUST be forced to reform, or by it's very nature it will seek to overcome and dominate the entire world, just as that tribe of warriors did in the Medina desert in 610 AD.
Pulling the teeth of Mohammedism by outlawing the implementation of Sharia Law is a good and necessary step in the direction of reforming the "Religion of Peace".

Oh, my old friend Loner and I again shared differing opinions on teh JOOOOOOOOOOOOS! But that's just us, we go back a long ways.

Members of the UW Teaching Assistants Association sent out a tweet shortly after 3 p.m. asking people to help clear out the hearing room they've been operating in for the last 11 days. The group will move operations to Democratic Party of Wisconsin offices off the Capitol for the remainder of the protests.
Baracky is a liar. Who knew?
Obama’s Promised March With Union Workers Fails to Materialize
When candidate Obama was campaigning in South Carolina in 2007, he said he was proud to wear the “union label” and that if workers were denied rights to organize or collectively bargain when he was elected, “I'll put on a comfortable pair of shoes myself, I'll will walk on that picket line with you as president of the United States of America.”
But as the protests over collective bargaining rights drag out in Wisconsin, President Obama has yet to join the demonstrators outside the Capitol building in Madison, and it appears his administration is trying not to get involved in the fight.
The president is now facing criticism from some within his own party about his unwillingness to be more engaged in the Wisconsin battle. Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., asked Obama to travel to Madison and stand with the unions, but Carney says there are currently no plans for any travel to that state.
Well, we knew it would happen soon enough.
Texas demographer: 'It's basically over for Anglos'
Looking at population projections for Texas, demographer Steve Murdock concludes: "It's basically over for Anglos."
Two of every three Texas children are now non-Anglo and the trend line will become even more pronounced in the future, said Murdock, former U.S. Census Bureau director and now director of the Hobby Center for the Study of Texas at Rice University.
Newt Gingrich is a Good Man, but I don't think I'll be able to support him for 2012. But he is leagues above Mitch Daniels right now.
“Imagine that Governor Palin had become president. Imagine that she had announced that Roe versus Wade in her view was unconstitutional and therefore the United States government would no longer protect anyone’s right to have an abortion because she personally had decided it should be changed. The news media would have gone crazy. The New York Times would have demanded her impeachment.
“First of all, he campaigned in favor of [the law]. He is breaking his word to the American people,” Gingrich says.
“Second, he swore an oath on the Bible to become president that he would uphold the Constitution and enforce the laws of the United States. He is not a one-person Supreme Court. The idea that we now have the rule of Obama instead of the rule of law should frighten everybody.
“The fact that the left likes the policy is allowing them to ignore the fact that this is a very unconstitutional act,” Gingrich said.
Gingrich said it is absolutely critical for Obama to comply with Congress and the constitutional process.
