Bones Benefit From Beer

In a recent edition of the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, researchers from the University of California at Davis have found that beer is a significant source of silicone, which helps increase bone density.

Somebody tell Sally Field, who’s always yakking about osteoporosis,  to put down the BONIVA and pick up a Budweiser.

Boy Scouts Award Merit Badge For Killing

According to the folks at PETA, “Promoting fishing teaches young people that hooking, maiming, suffocating, and killing is acceptable.”

They are calling on the Boy Scouts of America to retire it’s “Fishing” and “Fish and Wildlife Management” merit badges.

I’m starting to think that the folks at PETA are smoking something, and it ain’t fish.

My son became a Cub Scout as soon as he was old enough, and ended up become an Eagle Scout.

Throughout the years, his troop went on dozens of fishing trips, even going deep-sea fishing a few times, and instead of growing up to become a violent person, he became an EMT.

When I was younger, I spent my summers going fishing on an almost daily basis.

Did I grow up to believe that cruelty to animals was acceptable?

Quite the contrary, one of my fondest dreams is to someday be able to move off of the busy street I live on so that I can get a dog and not have to worry about it getting hit by a car.

I think that this group needs to change their name form People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals to Pinheads Exploiting the Truly Asinine.

New Taliban Training Video

From the 2-24 edition of the Pakistan Daily Times:

PARACHINAR: Five Taliban were killed and four others were injured on Tuesday when the explosives that they were planting around their hideout detonated accidentally in Ali Sherzai Dar village, Kurram Agency, officials said.
According to eyewitnesses, the Taliban wanted to blow up the house –vacated by local anti-Taliban leader Ghazi Marjan – due to the security forces’ operation in the area when the explosive material accidentally went-off, killing five of them and injuring four others.
Two of the injured reported to be in critical condition. However, AFP put the death toll at four and reported six Taliban wounded in the explosion. The Taliban had been using the deserted house as a dumping ground for people kidnapped for ransom.

That being the case, the leaders of the Taliban are now requiring all new recruits to watch the following video:

Obama’s Army Takes To The Airwaves

Organizing For America, in alliance with the Democratic National Committee, is about to become even more annoying than usual.

The latest plan to promote a message that no one wants to listen to is to have OFA members call-in to conservative talk radio shows and try and discuss health care reform.

The DNC was smart enough to realize that your average member of Organizing For America is not intellectually equipped to match wits with a Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh, so they have prepared a list of tips and talking points.

However, with typical liberal stupidity, the script does leave out one major point.

And that is how should one of the members of the Kool-Aid Brigade respond when someone such as Glenn Beck asks them their thoughts on the fact that the majority of American’s don’t want Obamacare?

Al Gore Banned In Britain

England’s UK Independence Party is behind a movement to ban global warming propaganda films like Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” from being shown in public schools.

They are also promising to launch a Royal Commission led by a High Court judge to investigate the causes of climate change.

Recent breaking scandals such as Climategate, where emails  from the University of East Anglia showed that scientists were willing to manipulate the data about global warming, and Glaciergate, which was the name given to the claim (that they later retracted) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) that the Himalayan glaciers could melt by 2035, have led many to question if human activity has any effect on climate change.

Janet Napolitano Drops The “T” Bomb

Department Of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has become the first Obama Administration official to publicly describe last year’s deadly shootings at Ft. Hood, Tex., as a terrorist act.

Napolitano told the Senate Homeland Security Committee that the Fort Hood shootings were an act of violent Islamic terrorism.

That’s quite a choice of words for Big Sis, who along with others in the Obama adminisration, are afraid to use the phrases “Islamic Extremists” or “Muslim Terrorists.”

In January, FBI Director Robert Mueller told the Senate Judiciary Commitee about “threats from home grown extremists,” including “the tragic shootings at Ft. Hood.”

The phrase “enemy combatants” is the approved phrasing of the Obama administration, as it is much less offensive to the people trying to kill us.

Barack Obama Is Not A Socialist

That is the message President Barack Obama presented to a group of business leaders yesterday.

Some of what President Obama had to say:

“Contrary to the claims of some of my critics, I am an ardent believer in the free market.”

 ”I believe businesses like yours are the engines of economic growth in this country.”

“I firmly believe that America’s success in large part depends on your success.”

President Obama then went on to speak to the gathering of CEO’s about his plans to reform health care, impose new regulations for the financial industry, amd to move America towards a “green” economy.

Barack Obama claiming he supports free market economics is about as believable as Bill Clinton saying “I did not have sexual relations with that woman.”

Tea Party Nation Drafts Declaration Of Independence

Tea Party activists are circulating what they call the “Tea Party Declaration of Independence,” a document meant to define the movement and establish its independence from Republicans.

Activist Bob MacGuffie stated that leading Tea Party activists came up with the idea while attending a meeting hosted by Freedom Works.

Among the statements made in this document are that the Tea Party movement will reject any attempts by the Republican Party to co-opt the movement, will work against any “RINO’s the GOP may nominate, as well as declaring their freedom from Democrats and members of the liberal media as well.

 The Tea Party Declaration Of Independence is the second major set of ideals set forth by the Tea Party in recent weeks, the other being the Contract From America, which was unveiled at the recent Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), where conservative leaders presented the Mount Vernon Statement.

Matt Lauer Asks Stupid Question About Stupidest Person

By now, most of us have heard about the woman who was killed yesterday at Sea World.

You can call me heartless, but how dumb does someone have to be to be a “trainer” for a killer whale?

On the same order as lion tamers, circus folks trying to teach a bear to jump through hoops, someone who does these things for a living is missing a few buttons from their remote control.

Televison “journalists” run a close second.

I’m sitting here at my computer this A.M., watching the news to learn about the blizzard I’m about to be buried under (global warming huh?) when the Today show comes on and Matt Lauer is interviewing a woman who witnessed the whale leaping part-way out of the water and seizing Sea World trainer Dawn Brancheau.

Lauer asked Brancheau’s fellow trainer:

“Was it apparent from the start that Brancheau was in trouble?”

A 12 thousand pound behemoth leaps, grabs this young woman by her ponytail, and drags her underwater, and Lauer is wondering if it seemed she was in trouble???

Wow.

And this guy gets paid millions of dollars for this.

Illegal Aliens Eluding E-Verify

The online tool E-Verify, now used voluntarily by employers, wrongly clears illegal workers about 54 percent of the time, according to Westat, a research company that evaluated the system for the Homeland Security Department.

Although using it voluntarily at present, Republicans in Congress are expected to push for E-Verify to become mandatory.

However, seeing as how the study by Westat shows that the system clears illegal workers 54% of the time, clearly E-Verify needs some “tweaking” before it will be a useful tool against hiring illegal workers.
