Halo in the SkyPosted Wednesday, October 14, 2009, at 8:17 AM
The Sky is Falling????
1. Gov. Arnold signed a bill that means that anyone buying ammunition in Caklifornia will have to be thumbprinted and records of their information kept on file. 2. Behind closed doors, nobody knows what goes on behind closed doors! Senators have gone into secret again to merge two healthcare bills together in order to get the 60 votes needed to pass. Read more: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cg.... 3. While we all argue amoungst ourselves, the Aliens are hovering over Moscow watching. The picture above sure looks like something out of Independence Day, doesn't it. Of course, scientist were quick to report it was an anomally. But then again, wasn't Roswell just explained away? Ok, maybe this isn't a worry but it sure looked cool so I had to share it. 4. Widespread and strong corruption within the Afghanistan's government is so dangerous that even if more troops are sent over, it will have little affect.The reason is because the people are so upset about the corrupted election that they will turn on that government and even decide to join up with the Taliban instead. 5. A Russian court ruled against Josef Stalin's grandson Tuesday in a libel suit over a newspaper article that said the Soviet dictator sent thousands of people to their deaths. The grandson of Stalin wanted an apology for the newspaper article that damaged Stalin's honor when they called him a "bloodthirsty cannibal." The case essentially put Stalin on trial more than 50 years after his death. The only reason I mention this is because Russia's dark past is being debated and Stalin-lovers want "history" lessons to be altered in order to not appear as horrible as it actually was. Altering the truth about history is what bothers me! The 1940 massacre of some 22,000 Polish officers, intellectuals and priests at the Katyn forest in western Russia had been blamed on the Nazis for decades, but the Soviet Union acknowledged in 1990 that Stalin's secret police carried out the killings. There are many who continue to think that the "murders" that Stalin was responsible for were lies to turn the people against him. Stalin was voted the third greatest Russian of all time and the newspaper article in question damaged Stalin falsely. That caused Stalin's grandson to try and sue that newspaper for soiling his Grandfather's name. If those people have their way, the history books will be altered to show Stalin as a hero instead of the monster that he was.

I've lived in Mtn Home for over 20 years. I love my city and my country. Since I am a writer, my decision to blog here seemed appropriate. I enjoy acting so I've been blessed with the opportunity to work on some independent films and with Prairie Dog Productions and Bogus Creek Ranch. I hope that something I have to write about has some value for others or just amuses someone.
Hot topics Mayfield? Here's my thought.(5 ~ 10:39 AM, Aug 18)

I know that some will overreact to worry #1 but did you not see this coming in some way. Fair or not, some things are inevitable.

#1 means that the black market people will have a heyday, ammo will cost more , but thats the way people will buy it.big brother just got bigger.
You almost can't buy a slingshot in California without a ton of paperwork and background checks.
To those of us who have been vigilant, especially since the Clinton regime.............this is no surprise. California has ALWAYS been mired in bureacracy.
Might be why they are BROKE today and people are vacating.
Not to sound mean, but if gun owners out there got caught "wanting", it's their own fault. This has been coming for some time, and the NRA HAS kept us up-to-date on this crap.
On # 2-----------they aren't going to read THIS one either................why break with tradition? That's ok though.............they can explain it to the voters in 2010/2012, when there is NO ONE ELSE to blame.
You realize that, it doesn't matter if the Republicans don't support these idiotic programs. The DEMS DO have the numbers to theoretically pass whatever they want. The Republicans are not some kind of "impairment." The left is in complete control.
Polls have consistently shown that most Americans do NOT want the government running healthcare. The resentment is growing and if it gets passed, (and you can BET someone will sneak that public "option" into it------------who's gonna know? They aren't going to read this one either), there's gonna be hell to pay at the mid-terms next year. And in 2012.
This is the ONLY reason Schumer and Pelosi are trying to get the GOP on board with this.
They don't need the numbers, but when the taxpayers RISE at the voting booths, Pelosi and friends want to be able to point across the aisle and proclaim "SEE...........SEE.........THEY were in on it too!
"He was throwing water TOO, Mommy......he did it TOO!"
The tea parties and townhalls weren't directed at just the democrats..........it was against government corruption, PERIOD. There are Republican senators and congressmen who seek re-election, and they KNOW enough to LISTEN to the voice of those who put them IN, or vote them OUT.
Schumer can pound on that podium until he collapses, and with the lone exceptions of 1 or 2, he's not gonna get anybody on the right to "aid and abet" the left, on this. The people don't want this...............and the people vote. Obama's administration is starting to draw fire from a lot of people who put him IN.
He "romanced" the gays to get their votes. He's done nothing, and their organizations are furious about it. They vote too.
He promised to come up with some sort of plan to end the war. It has only escalated. He haad to virtually be "shamed" into meeting with his commanders now, and his continued indecisiveness is alienating a lot of parents of servicemen who voted for him.
The hard left is on him for NOT (publicly) INSISTING on a public option, although I think there'll be one in there someplace.
Enough on Obama..............have you heard the LATEST on Hillary?
She's arranging for SOVIET representatives to come OVER HERE and tour OUR nuclear missile sites, as a "gesture of transparency", to lead by example to the world that WE have nothing to hide."
INSANITY! Why don't we just give them the damned BLUEPRINTS while we're at it!
Where do these nitwits come from, the planet Pluto?
Somebody must be spiking New York's water with SOMETHING, for the people to be voting for HER and Schumer.
Only in America..........where a people can still fire their bums............but do not.
Rush Limbaugh made some comments concerning his being removed from a group of investors interested in purchasing the St. Louis Rams. He blamed the leftist media and the Democrats for his predicament. He uses this guise of politics to shroud the core truth. He is a racist and should stop trying to play the blame game. Oh well, not everyone can be honest and straight-forward.
Yeah...and look who is calling him a racist! Jessie Jackson and Sharpton. There are 2 really nice folks who dare to cast stones. Guess some forgot Jessie's "honky" tirade and all of his racist comments against the Jews or in his words "kikes/heimes." Pardon me if I find Rush to be far less offensive than the 2 NAACP "poster children" of racism. What a crock! Those 2 people have done far more to foster racism/hatred than Rush ever did, IMHO. My how history re-writes itself.
I guess my point is that he should be man enough to admit that he is a polarizing influence. He was taken out of the group of investors because he holds unpopular views which would hurt their business prospects not because of the left singling him out. The blame game works on some but not me.
Business is business. The aim is to sell tickets and make money. His presence is detrimental to that. The NFL and its teams are 70% African American. African-Americans are predominantly more interested in pro football than college. This would hurt their ability to make money. Yes, they could keep him as a silent partner but the media's eyes and ears would not less this rest. The continued negative publicity would harm in the form of decreased revenues in the form of television contracts which are the bread and butter of pro sports.
Only in America............Michael Vick can be back again in the NFL but Rush CANNOT!
"I guess my point is this." If he (Rush) has the money to buy a team or part of team, then let him do it. If people do not want to play for him then they do not have to play for him. If they do not want to go to games because they dislike him---then do not go to the games. Life is all about choices. Just because someone has unpopular views/opinions should not be part of the equation. Sometimes the truth hurts. There have been other team owners over the years that are/were far worse. If Obama can be President and Pelosi can be Speaker and we can have this healthcare reform stuffed down our throats (and pay for it for the next 300 years or so) then why should Rush not be allowed to own an NFL team? It is his partners in this that should worry. There is FAR worse in the world these days. Really, there is. Good point as always Mike. Only in America. "Home of the free."
And as long as we're still "free", I think I'll jump in the shower, get dressed and take advantage of this beautiful day, where by some miracle..........the wind ISN'T blowing. Think I'll stop in and see Sam this morning, then go out and burn a little black powder.
I'm in such a good mood right now, I don't think I'll ruin it by listening to the news today!
Sounds great Mike! Have fun. So, no wind in MH today. How about that!
This was not a legal or administrative decision. He was not forced out by means of legality or anything binding. The only laws here are one of supply and demand. These laws know not politics but rather measures of satisfaction and cost per unit. This was a business decision based on dollars not politics. Their profitability was the question not his being Conservative.
If I rode down the freeway at 100 mph, I know that there is inherent risk. Risk of getting a ticket, going to jail, injury, death, automotive breakdown, etc. If one of these were to happen, I would not blame them on the world not being favorable to my ways. Rush knew the risk and potential for failure. He is a smart man who knew the risks involved and should not pout like a baby when the inevitable happens.
If his actions cause them not to sell out games or get TV contracts, they lose money. Their aim to make money as we all know. He is allowed to have his views. But he also knows that his words will influence the bottom line. He is well aware of this. If players choose to go elsewhere, you become the modern day Oakland Raiders. Hmmm.. they are an abomination on the field and are losing money. That is the effect that unpopular front office or owners can have. Top players steer clear of the Raiders because of Al Davis and the front office. Overall, he knew that his presence would spark controversy and probably not be favorable to their cause of appealing to the majority and so should take out the pacifier and stop blaming those who dont agree with him.
I've got to go along with that. There are a lot of things going on in this country that Rush needs to concentrate on MORE, than football.
He brings a lot of info that we need to know about. If he got TOO tied-up with this football franchise, he might unknowingly take his "eye off the ball."
Besides, Limbaugh of ALL people, should know better than to expect a "fair shake" in THIS country, the way things are now.
I can't believe this would surprise him.
Where did rush come from? What happened to the discussion about aliens invading russia and the global conspiracy of the shadow government run by the moth man?
Roger that,....over.
Good question. I'm more concerned about the USA, than the NFL, myself.
Back to the topic, Afghanistan is a mess that we should not getting into. If Bin Laden is still alive, we should decisively hunt him down and then move on. The more that I read about this nation, the more backwards it seems.
No debate there!
