Pelosi's gubment budness trips ... Thanks Lou F.!

Nancy Pelosi The FACTS ARE IN! As a result of a Judicial Watch filing under the Freedom of Information Act, the USAF released documents detailing House Speaker Pelosi's use of United States Air Force aircraft between March 2009 and June 2010. The data are published in the Judicial Watch Verdict of December 2010, Volume 16, Issue 12. Here are the main highlights revealed by the USAF. Keep in mind that all the data below relate to United States Air Force aircraft used by one woman over a sixteen month period. Several of these flights included Ms Pelosi's guests such as grown children, grandchildren, various in-laws, friends, and hangers-on. Over 95% of the trips were between the west coast and Washington , DC or what we might call a commute between home and the office. READ it and WEEP!! Total trips: 85 trips over a 68 week period or 1.25 average trips per week. Total mileage: 206,264 miles or 2,427 average miles per trip Total flying time: 428.6 hours or an average of 5 hrs per trip Cost to the taxpayers: $2,100,744.59 or $27,715.00 per trip or $1,285,162.00 per year Cost of in flight food and alcohol: $101,429.14 or $1,193.00 per trip or $62,051.00 per year. On one junket to Baghdad, according to the Air Force report, she had the aircraft bar stocked with Johnny Walker Red Scotch, Grey Goose Vodka, E&J Brandy, Bailey's Irish Creme, Maker's Mark Whiskey, Courvoisier Cognac, Bacardi Rum, Jim Beam Whiskey, Beefeater Gin, Dewars Scotch, Bombay Sapphire Gin, Jack Daniels Whiskey, Corona Beer and several varieties of wine. This was obviously a very important"gubment bidness" trip. Evidence generally speaks for itself, and in Ms. Pelosi's case it speaks the language of abuse and (evidently) a serious familial drinking problem, for in a single year she and her spawn drank an amount in excess of the net income of the average employed American! When she said, "... If the stimulus doesn't pass, five hundred million people might lose their jobs...", I thought she was unintentionally revealing her ignorance. I'm now more inclined to think she was pickled. Even though she can no longer abuse the USAF, she can either fly on her broom, or fly Southwest Airlines, where bags fly free. If you are an AMERICAN citizen it is YOUR DUTY to PASS THIS ON!!

ASAP- Thanks Ginny and Bob L.!

ABORTION, MEN & ABORTION

Men and the Abortion Debate

In thinking out loud on February 7, 2012 at 2:46 pm

Here is the other half of the abortion issue.

A woman gets pregnant. She has three choices:

a. Give Birth
b. Abortion
c. Adoption.

The man has no choice in the matter.  Yet, this baby is a part of him as well.  Even so, the woman can decide to murder the baby and the man has no choice in the matter.  In my opinion, if it is only the woman’s choice as to what to do with “her body,” the man should have choices as well.

A man should be able to decide from the outset whether he wants to be a father or not. Just as the woman makes this decision.  However, this is not what happens. If the woman wants to murder the baby, the man has no choice. Zero recourse. If the woman wants to keep the baby, the man has no choice and must pay for this child for the next 18 to 23 years.  The man is basically held for ransom for 18 to 23 years of his life. He is at the mercy of the woman. He is expected to support this baby and, often times, the woman/mother.

I thought that we were all about equal rights in America. There is no equality in this relationship.

A man should have the right to decline Fatherhood in the exact same way that women are given the right to decline Motherhood.  As long as abortion is legal, Fatherhood should also be a choice. If the man wants to have nothing to do with the woman and/or the baby, he should have that choice. Period.

Abortion = Choice

Even though it is the equivalent of legal murder.

Legal Abortion should be a choice given to men as well. A man should have the right to abort the child in a LEGAL sense. The man should be allowed to choose to not have the child in the exact same way as the woman has the right to choose to not have the child.

Anything less is discriminatory.  Anything else is immoral.

Coach John Calipari's radio program

I just listened to the Coach Cal show on my computer (630 AM Lexington).   Opposition programs knock our coach, but he is restoring Kentucky basketball to its proper place for us Kentucky fans.

Tonight he had former coach Joe B. Hall join him.  Coach Hall, a terrific former  coach himself, has become a great friend of Cal's.  They each, along with Coach Adolph Rupp and Coach Rick Pitino (when he also coached the Cats), mean so much to Kentucky fans throughout the Commonwealth.  I like to mention Coach Rupp's Harry Lancaster along with Coach Cal's John Robich and the other coaches on each staff, as great teacher/coaches.

Cal is happy with the progress of the current team and Coach Hall agrees.  They each are concerned about the team peaking at the right time.  Coach Cal says the seat he holds at UK is not for everyone and he is correct.  Coach Hall agrees.

It is conceivable, Cal says that seven players may be drafted after this season.  Seven!  He also empathizes that his greatest legacy will be the young men who become millionaires in the pros.  He enjoys that their families are becoming rich from many times lesser wealth backgrounds.

We "crazy" people who are Kentucky fans (as the coach calls us) love this coach and he deserves our admiration!

Portsmouth Clay's Former Coach Arch Justus died last Friday 2-3-1012.

I'm back.  My young guru, Shawn Baird, came over and got me back onto my SamKat  www.skegley.blogspot.com  blog last night.I dumbly had signed onto Google Apps when I didn't need to and the business site gmail address was messing me up.  I hope somebody missed my posts.  I certainly did.  Isn't it terrible to be an egotist?  (Hopefully, I am not, but I did miss posting on the blog.)

Anyway, Clay Vice had told us about Arch Justus being sick Friday.  We didn't hear here in Columbus, but, sadly, Coach Arch died Friday night at Riverside Hospital here in Columbus.  Unknowingly, I called Columbus lawyer, Steve Fitch, and he met me at Riverside at 1:30 PM Sunday.  Arch was not shown as a patient. Hospitals don't share such sad news with visitors other than close family. After spending a few minutes with Steve and giving him the two extra "Acquaintances With Integrity II" books he ordered for his sons, we departed.  I called Clay and received the sad news that the coach had died Friday evening.  Clay had sent Facebook notices out, but I don't get on facebook regularly.

I called Steve with the sad news.

I had called Arch a few times to interview him as one of the outstanding athletes or coaches of the Portsmouth area.  There was always some sad health news going on in his family and we never got together for the interview.  Clay told me Friday afternoon that he lost his mother and his wife within the last year and Arch had liver cancer, although his son, John, told Clay that the doctors expected him to survive.   

Steve Fitch was on Arch's Clay High School basketball teams as a junior and senior but hardly saw action according to Steve.  As a testament to good coaching, Steve walked on the next season at Ohio State and was the very last cut after a few weeks of tryouts.  When he next saw Coach Justus, the coach was happily surprised for Steve.  Steve told him  that the fundamentals stressed at Ohio State were the same ones Coach Justus had used at Clay.

God bless the Justus family and one of Portsmouth's best coaches and the guy Clay tells me that Clay's former baseball coach Kenny Long told Clay that Arch Justus  could have made the baseball major leagues if he didn't have bad knees.  The witnesses said that Arch Justus could hit a baseball farther than any others of the very outstanding Ramey's Feed or Deemer's teams of bygone Portsmouth days.

In reality, we will all certainly die unless we remain on earth when Christ returns.

STRT For signs of a stroke ... thankls Lyle!

Subject: Fwd: Stroke has a new indicator - GOOD TO KNOW

Reminder Stroke has a new indicator They say if you e.mail this to ten people, you stand a chance of saving one life. Will you send this along? Blood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue I will continue to forward this every time it comes around! STROKE: Remember the 1st Three Letters.....S. T. R. STROKE IDENTIFICATION: During a BBQ, a woman stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) ...she said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Jane went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Jane's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 PM Jane passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Jane would be with us today. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. It only takes a minute to read this. A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough. RECOGNIZING A STROKE Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR. Read and Learn! Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions: S *Ask the individual to SMILE. T *Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (I.e. It is sunny out today.) R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS. If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke. A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved. I have done my part. Will you?

Washingtonm Post on obama ... Thanks ramey!

This is worth reading...carefully. It's amazing that the Washington Post
would actually print this....

Obama: The Affirmative Action President by Matt Patterson (columnist -
Washington Post, New York Post, San Francisco Examiner)

Years from now, historians may regard the 2008 election of Barack Obama as
an inscrutable and disturbing phenomenon, a baffling breed of mass hysteria
akin perhaps to the witch craze of the Middle Ages. How, they will wonder,
did a man so devoid of professional accomplishment beguile so many into
thinking he could manage the world's largest economy, direct the world's
most powerful military, execute the world's most consequential job?

Imagine a future historian examining Obama's pre-presidential life: ushered
into and through the Ivy League despite unremarkable grades and test scores
along the way; a cushy non-job as a "community organizer"; a brief career as
a state legislator devoid of legislative achievement (and in fact nearly
devoid of his attention, so often did he vote "present") ; and finally an
unaccomplished single term in the United States Senate, the entirety of
which was devoted to his presidential ambitions. He left no academic legacy
in academia, authored no signature legislation as a legislator.

And then there is the matter of his troubling associations: the
white-hating, America-loathing preacher who for decades served as Obama's
"spiritual mentor"; a real-life, actual terrorist who served as Obama's
colleague and political sponsor. It is easy to imagine a future historian
looking at it all and asking: how on Earth was such a man elected president?


Not content to wait for history, the incomparable Norman Podhoretz addressed
the question recently in the Wall Street Journal:

To be sure, no white candidate who had close associations with an outspoken
hater of America like Jeremiah Wright and an unrepentant terrorist like Bill
Ayers, would have lasted a single day. But because Mr. Obama was black, and
therefore entitled in the eyes of liberaldom to have hung out with
protesters against various American injustices, even if they were a bit
extreme, he was given a pass.

Let that sink in: Obama was given a pass -- held to a lower standard --
because of the color of his skin. Podhoretz continues:

And in any case, what did such ancient history matter when he was also so
articulate and elegant and (as he himself had said) "non-threatening," all
of which gave him a fighting chance to become the first black president and
thereby to lay the curse of racism to rest??

Podhoretz puts his finger, I think, on the animating pulse of the Obama
phenomenon -- affirmative action. Not in the legal sense, of course. But
certainly in the motivating sentiment behind all affirmative action laws and
regulations, which are designed primarily to make white people, and
especially white liberals, feel good about themselves.

Unfortunately, minorities often suffer so that whites can pat themselves on
the back. Liberals routinely admit minorities to schools for which they are
not qualified, yet take no responsibility for the inevitable poor
performance and high drop-out rates which follow. Liberals don't care if
these minority students fail; liberals aren't around to witness the
emotional devastation and deflated self esteem resulting from the racist
policy that is affirmative action. Yes, racist.

Holding someone to a separate standard merely because of the color of his
skin -- that's affirmative action in a nutshell, and if that isn't racism,
then nothing is. And that is what America did to Obama.

True, Obama himself was never troubled by his lack of achievements, but why
would he be? As many have noted, Obama was told he was good enough for
Columbia despite undistinguished grades at Occidental; he was told he was
good enough for the US Senate despite a mediocre record in Illinois ; he was
told he was good enough to be president despite no record at all in the
Senate. All his life, every step of the way, Obama was told he was good
enough for the next step, in spite of ample evidence to the contrary. What
could this breed if not the sort of empty narcissism on display every time
Obama speaks?

In 2008, many who agreed that he lacked executive qualifications nonetheless
raved about Obama's oratory skills, intellect, and cool character. Those
people -- conservatives included -- ought now to be deeply embarrassed. The
man thinks and speaks in the hoariest of clichés, and that's when he has his
teleprompter in front of him; when the prompter is absent he can barely
think or speak at all. Not one original idea has ever issued from his mouth
-- it's all warmed-over Marxism of the kind that has failed over and over
again for 100 years.

And what about his character? Obama is constantly blaming anything and
everything else for his troubles. Bush did it; it was bad luck; I inherited
this mess. It is embarrassing to see a president so willing to advertise his
own powerlessness, so comfortable with his own incompetence. But really,
what were we to expect? The man has never been responsible for anything, so
how do we expect him to act responsibly?

In short: our president is a small and small-minded man, with neither the
temperament nor the intellect to handle his job.
When you understand that, and only when you understand that, will the
current erosion of liberty and prosperity make sense. It could not have gone
otherwise with such a man in the Oval Office.
