I've lived in Mtn Home since 1989, so that's...hold on...I'm thinking...WOW! Exactly 25 years! Boy, I think I can almost declare myself an Idahoan. But my family is British and I grew up in Louisiana around lots of other Brits so I still think I'm a little bit of a mutt. Those of you who have been around awhile may remember when I used to blog all the time. My opinions weren't very accepted and there was always an issue because I work for the county. That really wasn't fair because I NEVER blog at work! And I am still entitled to my opinions and thoughts about city and county issues, right? However, it stirred a lot of pots and those pots certainly can make a lot of noise! Since I'm a writer, I took what I wrote in my blog seriously so I spent a lot of time researching things which got exhausting to do when you're not even get a paycheck for it. So I stopped. That was a blessing to many! However, to this day, I still have people stop me and ask me why I wasn't blogging and t! hey missed it. I've missed it. Mainly because there are so many issues that come up and I have no voice except around my friends and I'm sure they are tired of it.

#6-Homeland Security Czar

Posted Thursday, July 30, 2009, at 8:14 AM

Terrorism Czar-John Brennan (Salary $172,200): is the Deputy National Security Advisor for Homeland Security.. He was previously director of the National Counterterrorism Center from 2004 through 2005. During the 2008 Presidential Election, he was an advisor to Obama and a major contributor to the campaign. Obama does take care of his people.

RED FLAG! Brennan was Obama's top pick for CIA director, but he withdrew his name in November 2008 after fears that Congress would bring up their concerns about his past affiliations. Instead, Obama appointed Brennan to a White House job that does not require Senate confirmation.

HUGE RED FLAG!! Brennan's involvement in a company that was caught red-handed breaching sensitive files during Obama's campaign. In March 2008, it was revealed that Brennan's company, The Analysis Corp was under investigation. "Obama's passport file was improperly accessed three times that year, and the security of passport files of the two other major presidential candidates -- Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican John McCain -- had also been breached. Sources who tracked the investigation tell Newsmax that the main target of the breach was the Obama passport file, and that the contractor accessed the file in order to "cauterize" the records of potentially embarrassing information. The passport files include "personally identifiable information such as the applicant's name, gender, social security number, date and place of birth, and passport number," according to the inspector general report." (Newsmax-Ken Timmerman)

So let me see if I have this correct. Brennan was involved in accessing sensitive passport information that would have included Obama's birth certificate. He publically apologizes for the actions of "contract employees" and is rewarded with a cush job? I wonder what embarrassing information he was trying to keep from the public? Whatever it was, it certainly helped this man's career and Obama paid him well for his help. Sorry, John, as if it really matters, but I give you a thumbs down! (Time: 7:17am)

The question of the hour is what does Kim Kovac think of her boss?

Well, I mean former boss (fired on July 6th)... I saw the story on KTVB tonight (Idaho's worst news station)...

Funny Kim, I didn't realize you worked in DMV?? As far as Mava goes, if she's guilty then she will get what the courts feel she deserves. Does explain alot of the toys down at her place.

Oh! And just out today. There will have to be tax increases on the middle class to pay for the bailouts and healthcare reform! Hope that "extra" pocket change was worth it because for what you think you got, you will pay triple now in taxes. Gotta love Obama and his Obamanomics. Should have left his worthless butt in Chicago.

I was thinking more of Kenya OM.

Wow, I just heard about the DMV scandal yesterday. And for the record, formermtnhomie, I don't work there. However, what she allegedly did will affect everyone. This type of crime over a long period of time is reprehencible and I certainly feel angry about it. However, we are still a democracy that says innocent until proven guilty. My prayers go out to Mava and her family. Quilty or not, her life is going to be hell and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Our county has already suffered due to a bad economy and money is very tight. My prayers also go out to the county Commissioners who have to deal with it as well.

MHB, good point. Kenya works for me. What was done to the aunt that was here illegally that was supposed to be booted prior to the election? Is she also at the White House? Funny how that story went away.

Yes...they could all leave on that fancy jet plane and use some of Obama's other birth records to obtain new lives. Nobody would miss any of them other than maybe the dog...no...he/she has the kids. My bad.

Maybe that money could be spent in a better way if they spent it on improving the capabilities of the aircraft that defend this country.

Every president in recent memory has had embarassing or not-so-great memories or past elements so what is so eggregious about Obama versus that of others. Tom Brokaw fabricating that story about Bush's valor was ever so endearing. I wish that I could lie like that someday.
