The chalk guy, Mueller, is back- Thanks Ramey H.!
THE
CHALK GUY IS BACK WITH SOME NEW ONES
Hard to
believe that these are drawn on a FLAT sidewalk surface.
Street Artist's.....newest creations
Edgar Mueller Super Artist
Great Crevasse Edgar Mueller. Hard work: Together with up to five assistants,
Mueller painted all day long from sunrise to sunset.
The picture appeared on the East Pier in Dun Laoghaire , Ireland ,
as part of the town's Festival of World Cultures.
He spent five days, working 12 hours a day, to create the 250 square meter
image of the crevasse, which, viewed from the correct angle, appears to be 3D.
He then persuaded passers-by to complete the illusion by pretending the
gaping hole was real.
'I wanted to play with positives and negatives to encourage people to think twice
about everything they see,' he said. 'It was a very scary scene, but when people
saw it they had great fun playing on it and pretending to fall into the earth.
'I like to think that later, when they returned home, they might reflect more on
what a frightening scenario it was and say, "Wow, that was actually pretty scary."
Mueller, who has previously painted a giant waterfall in Canada, said he was
Inspired by the British 'Pavement Picasso' Julian Beever, whose dramatic but
More gentle 3D street images have been featured in the Daily Mail.
This guy
is amazing no matter how you look at it!

Analysis from Canada on the Conn. School shootings Thanks Alma H!
Analysis from Canada on the Conn. School Shootings
Editorial
Blood is on The Hands of the LEFT
By: Howard Galganov, Canadian writer December 14, 2012
I
was just about to publish my latest editorial... on Canada's Supreme
Court decision to suspend Freedom of Speech in favor of promoting one
language over all others. THEN THE CONNECTICUT SCHOOL SHOOTINGS HAPPENED.
What happened at Sandy Hook School takes precedence over any language issues in Canada and a failed Judicial System in both our countries.
What happened at Sandy Hook School takes precedence over any language issues in Canada and a failed Judicial System in both our countries.
I
won't waste words describing my feelings, because how I feel is
indescribable about 27 people murdered, (20 young children and six
adults at the school),the murder of the shooter's mother beforehand,
then the cowardly suicide of the shooter at the school as law
enforcement closed in.
BUT I CAN TELL YOU WITH CERTAINTY WHY IT HAPPENED:
It didn't happen because of the so-called gun culture, or because of poor security at the school. It happened because of the modern LEFTIST culture that has been busy removing all semblance of personal responsibility and respect from our lives.
It happened because of the Hollywood and television types who lecture the Conservatives on how people should live, while they make FORTUNES producing absolute FILTH and VIOLENCE in their movies, videos and television programs.
It happened because of reality TV shows that demean humanity, along with shows that make people laugh at the pain and humiliation of others.
The senseless murders happened because multi-millionaire computer game producers create UGLY digital scenarios that poison young minds with abject depravity and gratuitous violence.
It happened because the school system doesn't teach values, and promotes the idea that 'anything goes.' And that all people are equal, regardless of the truth. And that no one ever fails.
It happened because LEFTISTS won't allow concerned and loving parents to discipline their children, or raise their children in the time-honored way they feel is right.
It happened because far too many Liberals spend their time and effort ridiculing and attacking the people who want to live by the lessons of the Bible and the Torah.
In truth, this and other horrible acts of violence happen because our society-- from the entertainment industry to schools to the media and to our governments-- have created the social and cultural foundation that is eating away at both Canada and the United States like a cancer.
I know that what I am writing will inflame those on the LEFT, I want my old country's values back.
Values like standing in school when an adult entered the room. Like being seriously disciplined for bad behavior. Like when we were measured by our successes and failures. When not everyone had to waste years of his or her life going to college to study basket weaving instead of taking a trades course or going to work or the service right after high school. When your Mom was a caring woman and your Dad was a real man, an authority in the home.

Why grandpa carries a gun ... Thanks anon Ymous!
Please take time to read this and pay particular attention to "A
Little Gun History" about half way down.
PEOPLE ASK WHY?
Why Carry a Gun?
My old grandpa said to me 'Son, there comes a time in every man's life
when he stops bustin'
knuckles and starts bustin' caps and usually it's when he becomes too
old to take a butt whoopin.'
I don't carry a
gun to kill people.
I carry a gun to keep from being killed.
I don't carry a gun to scare people.
I carry a gun because sometimes this world can be a scary place.
I don't carry a gun because I'm paranoid.
I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world.
I don't carry a gun because I'm evil.
I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the
world.
I don't carry a gun because I hate the government.
I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government.
I don't carry a gun because I'm angry.
I carry a gun so that I don't have to spend the rest of my life hating
myself for failing to be prepared.
I don't carry a gun because I want to shoot someone.
I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed, and not
on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.
I don't carry a gun because I'm a cowboy.
I carry a
gun because, when I die and go to heaven, I want to be a cowboy.
I don't carry a gun to make me feel like a man.
I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves and the
ones they love.
I don't carry a gun because I feel inadequate.
I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am
inadequate.
I don't carry a gun because I love it.
I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful
to me.
Police protection is an oxymoron.
Free citizens must protect themselves.
Police do not protect you from crime, they usually just investigate the
crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess.
I carry a gun because God gave me the Right to do so; it is inalienable.
******************************
A LITTLE GUN HISTORY
In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953,
about 20
million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and
exterminated.
------------------------------
In 1911, Turkey established gun control. >From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million
Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and
exterminated.
------------------------------
Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total
of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were
rounded up and exterminated.
------------------------------
China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million
political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and
exterminated.
------------------------------
Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000
Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and
exterminated.
------------------------------

educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and
exterminated.
-----------------------------
Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century
because of gun control: 56 million.
------------------------------
You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians
disseminating this information. Guns in the hands of honest citizens
save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only
the law-abiding citizens. Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too
late!
The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them
of this history lesson.
With guns, we are 'citizens'. Without them, we are
'subjects'.
During WW II the Japanese decided not to invade America because they
knew most Americans were ARMED!
If you value your freedom, please spread this anti gun - control message
to all of your friends.
The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in
defense. The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more
important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is
supplemental.
Switzerland issues every household a gun! Switzerland's government
trains every adult they issue a rifle. Switzerland has the lowest gun
related crime rate of any civilized country in the world! It's a no
brainer!
Don't let our government waste millions of our tax dollars in an effort
to make all law abiding citizens an easy target.
I'm a firm believer in the 2nd Amendment!
If you are too, please consider passing this on.
"My reading of history convinces me that most bad
government results from too much government." ~ Thomas Jefferson
Being defeated is often a temporary condition.
Giving up is what makes it permanent.
From the workers to the shirkers ... thanks Anon Ymous!
INAUGURATION HE SPOKE ABOUT OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE EVERYONE GETS
THEIR "FAIR SHARE" AND A "FAIR SHOT"....
IN GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIZED HOUSING EVERYWHERE ACROSS AMERICA, PEOPLE WERE
SITTING IN THEIR LIVING ROOMS WATCHING THE INAUGURATION ON THEIR BIG
SCREEN T.V.'S AND CHEERING HIM ON....
We felt like this was the perfect time to share this IMPORTANT story
with you. Recently, our good friend Michael (a local realtor) shared his
experience with Leisa and I about an "Obama supporter" he encountered
while showing homes to a low income, working family in Pontiac, MI.. We
asked him to please write it down so we could share it with you. YOU
SHOULD BE SITTING DOWN WHILE READING THIS:
As a Realtor for the past 28 years I thought I’d seen or heard it all…
Until now.
I was showing homes in Pontiac, MI. one afternoon recently and showed up
at a home at the 4:00 pm time my appointment was scheduled for. After I
woke up the homeowner, she let us in and then proceeded to tell my
buyers and I that she has already entered into a contract to sell the
home on a short-sale. (A short-sale is a sale where the banks accepts
less money than is owed on the home). After some chit-chat, she
proceeded to tell us that she and her sister (who also lived in the
area) were buying each other’s homes via the short-sale process. I
mentioned to her that I thought relatives could not be involved in those
transactions. She smiled and said "We have two different last names so
no one knows the difference".
She went on to tell us that each of them owed over 100K on their homes
and were in the process of buying each other’s homes for about 10-15K
cash. To top it off, they were each receiving $3,000.00 in government
provided relocation assistance at the closing.
My buyers and I were amazed that she was outright admitting to fraud and
yet, she continued. She began to tell us that the best part of her
scheme was that because they currently were not working that they (both)
are now receiving Section 8 Vouchers. I said I thought those were for
renters and she said “That’s the best part; me and my sister are going
to be renting each other’s homes so we don’t even have to move, and
Obama is going to give us each $800.00 a month to pay the rent!” She
then picked up a picture she had framed of Obama and did a little happy
dance around her living room and while she kissed the picture she was
singing "Thank you Obama.... thank you Obama."
So here is the bottom line… Both of these scammers got at least
$80,000.00 in debt forgiven, $3,000.00 in cash for relocation (when in
fact they did not relocate) and to boot, you and I will now be paying
(through our taxes) $1,600.00 in rent for each them each and every
month.... perhaps forever!
Is it any wonder why so many people have decided that all they have to
do is VOTE for the Democrats and they will be taken care of for life at
the expense of the taxpayers? I would not be at all surprised if they
are receiving food stamps and whatever other programs are available for
anyone who is willing to lie to get assistance.
These women went from working and paying about $900.00 each in mortgage
payments to staying home and getting paid $800.00 each per month to live
in the same home they had been living in and all they had to do was lie
on a few papers. This craziness has to stop! I’m sure this kind of fraud
is going on each and every day all across the country and no one wants
to touch the subject of entitlements because they might OFFEND someone
or lose a vote or two.
By the way... she had an almost new SUV in the driveway, three flat
screen TV's and a very nice computer set up in her living room which was
furnished entirely with nice leather furniture.
I'TS THE NEW 'AMERICAN WAY'.....
For all of the "do-gooder's" who voted for Obama to help the "less
fortunate"....CHEERS.....
Here is a link to some of the government assistance programs available
today:

COLGATE ADVERTISING
CAMPAIGN
I'll let you appreciate them quietly.
Alright ... now that you've had time to quietly observe the images ...
* in the first photograph, you might have noticed that the lady has one
finger too many on her left hand;
* in the second photograph, a phantom arm is floating behind;
* and in the third photograph, the man has only one ear.
The campaign attained its purpose.
It proved that food debris on your teeth draws more attention than any physical defect does.
How well did you do?
The new forever stamp- Thanks Lou F.!
^The stamp described below is a special order stamp from a company
that specializes is promotional products. ZAZZLE.com. Not the
USPS.^
According to the United States Post Office website the stamp has
had several issues in various denominations spanning from 34 cents in 2001 to 41
cents in 2007. The latest release was announced August 12, 2011 with a "Forever"
denomination, which means that its value will remain constant with any increases
in first class postage.
