Corrupt Politicians

If you've been awake for the last few decades it should come as no surprise to learn that "Congress is corrupt." You might treat that statement with all the incredibility that you would also apply to....say..."water is wet".

Duh.

It's been said. "Politicians, like diapers, should be changed regularly....and for the same reasons".

If you've been awake for the last few weeks/months/years you are aware of the antics of the democrats and particularly those of "Nazi" Pelosi.

If she had any scrap of decency she would resign.

If not she should be kicked out.

Compared to her the former governors of Illinois and New York are saints. (hmmm....they're democrats also...do I detect a pattern?)

The Truth is Not a Defense.

It's not?

If not why not?

At any rate that's what an attorney thinks. Imagine that. An officer of the law doesn't think very highly of the truth.

Being a lawyer and all....

........no....I won't go there.

What am I talking about you ask?

This

I'm at the Port.

The Port of Baltimore. Dundorph....or something.

I've decided what I want to do when I grow up. I want to work at a port. I pulled in to the gate. The guard was on the phone. When she got to a stopping place in her undoubtedly important conversation, (it was absolutely entertaining....she laughed and giggled a LOT) then she took care of letting me enter the port.

I then went to the check in office. Had to wait in line. No telling where the guy was that was to check me in, he was gone. When he got back he had "other stuff" to do before he got to me. Then I had to go see another guy, and another...finally got the paperwork done.

It's now two hours since I drove in the gate.

I pull around to the crane.

I've seen turtles move faster.

Watching those guys work was like watching paint dry.....only not as exciting.

It's now four hours since I drove in the gate.

Nope....couldn't get to me. Come back in the morning.

That's what I want to be when I grow up. A port "worker."

If they're getting paid ANYTHING it's too much for what they're producing. They certainly never get tired. No doubt there are benifits. (vacation, sick pay, retirement, medical...all of which I don't have)

Ideal Job.

Pain in the butt...

It's not particularly heavy....I'm only grossing about a hundred and five thousand.
It's not wide.
It's not tall.

Thank goodness for small favors...

What it is is looooooooooong. The piece is seventy five feet. Bumper to bumper I'm a hundred foot.

Makes it pretty difficult to get around corners.

Coming out of the plant I had to make a hard right turn (WalMart was on the corner...and it was five oclock...heavy heavy traffic.). There were "never to be sufficiently damned" medians all over the place.

I had to turn right from the faaaar left lane...jump curbs...AND have a flagger.

Seriously annoyed a bunchaton of minivan moms.

Now I'm in a rest area...too long to risk trying to get into truckstops.

Gonna be a fun trip. No escorts required till I get to Ohio.

Oh....It's going to Baltimore..

fun...fun....

I wonder if this is true.........

Guess our national leaders didn't expect this, hmm? On Thursday, Darrell Scott, the father of Rachel Scott, a victim of the Columbine High School shootings in Littleton , Colorado , was invited to address the House Judiciary Committee's subcommittee. What he said to our national leaders during this special session of Congress was painfully truthful.

They were not prepared for what he was to say, nor was it received well. It needs to be heard by every parent, every teacher, every politician, every sociologist, every psychologist, and every so-called expert! These courageous words spoken by Darrell Scott are powerful, penetrating, and deeply personal. There is no doubt that God sent this man as a voice crying in the wilderness. The following is a portion of the transcript:

"Since the dawn of creation there has been both good & evil in the hearts of men and women. We all contain the seeds of kindness or the seeds of violence. The death of my wonderful daughter, Rachel Joy Scott, and the deaths of that heroic teacher, and the other eleven children who died must not be in vain. Their blood cries out f or answers.

"The first recorded act of violence was when Cain slew his brother Abel out in the field. The villain was not the club he used.. Neither was it the NCA, the National Club Association. The true killer was Cain, and the reason for the murder could only be found in Cain's heart.

"In the days tha t followed the Columbine tragedy, I was amazed at how quickly fingers began to be pointed at groups such as the NRA. I am not a member of the NRA. I am not a hunter. I do not even own a gun. I am not here to represent or defend the NRA - because I don't believe that they are responsible for my daughter's death. Therefore I do not believe that they need to be defended. If I believed they had anything to do with Rachel's murder I would be their strongest opponent.

I am here today to declare that Columbine was not just a tragedy -- it was a spiritual event that should be forcing us to look at where the real blame lies! Much of the blame lies here in this room. Much of the blame lies behind the pointing fingers of the accusers themselves. I wrote a poem just four nights ago that expresses my feelings best.



Your laws ignore our deepest needs,
Your words are empty air.
You've stripped away our heritage,
You've outlawed simple prayer.
Now gunshots fill our classrooms,
And precious children die.
You seek for answers everywhere,
And ask the question "Why?"
You regulate restrictive laws,
Through legislative creed.
And yet you fail to understand,
That God is what we need!



" Men and women are three-part beings. We all consist of body, mind, and spirit. When we refuse to acknowledge a third part of our make-up, we create a void that allows evil, prejudice, and hatred to rush in and wreak havoc. Spiritual presences were present within our educational
Systems for most of our nation's history... Many of our major colleges began as theological seminaries. This is a historical fact. What has happened to us as a nation? We have refused to honor God, and in so doing, we open the doors to hatred and violence. And when something as terrible as Columbine's tragedy occurs -- politicians immediately look for a scapegoat such as the NRA. They immediately seek to pass more restrictive laws that contribute to erode away our personal and private liberties. We do not need more restrictive laws. Eric and Dylan would not have been stopped by metal detectors. No amount of gun laws can stop someone who spends months planning this type of massacre. The real villain lies within our own hearts.

"As my son Craig lay under that table in the school library and saw his two friends murdered before his very eyes, he did not hesitate to pray in school. I defy any law or politician to deny him that right! I challenge every young person in America , and around the world, to realize that on April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School prayer was brought back to our schools. Do not let the many prayers offered by those students be in vain. Dare to move into the new millennium with a sacred disregard for legislation that violates your God-given right to communicate with Him. To those of you who would point your finger at the NRA -- I give to you a sincere challenge.. Dare to examine your
Own heart before casting the first stone!

My daughter's death will not be in vain! The young people of this country will not allow that to happen!"

If it's not true it ought to be.

I agree with much of the above.

And there's no doubt that the Main Sewer Media would not mention it.

It seems that Senators can donate to other senators election campaigns. I didn't know that they could do that. I thought that if I gave money to "my" politician he'd use it to do things to benefit me..

Apparently not. Benidict Arlan......er....Arlan Specter from Pennsylvania has lost a great deal of popularity. So much so that he's facing a tough primary battle. To help him out other republican senators are apparently giving him money that THEIR consituents gave to them.

That isn't right.

Then maybe it is. It identifies those who we should eliminate from public office.

Unfortunately the Junior Senator from Texas is one of them.

By that I don't mean Bailout Hutchenson.

(sigh).....not hardly worth voteing is it? No one worthy of voteing FOR.

Maybe that's the reason so few people vote.

I read.

A LOT.....several hours a day. Every day.

I usually have one or two books going plus I spend hours and hours on the internet.

Why?

Well for one thing I'm inherently curious. For another thing TV is so execrable that I'd rather watch sewage bubble in a holding tank than be in the same room as a TV.

Case in point. The Somali Pirates.

For a more accurate take on what happen than youre likely to get by watching the so called news media you might check out one of my most favorite authors.

A former Army Ranger name of John Ringo.

And that's just one tiny, tiny example of why I read rather than watch TV.
