Gas Hovering at $2 a Gallon

I ran across this photo and caption online tonight.  It's from 2000 when gas prices were sky rocketing.  Dh was interviewed while he was on the job.  What we'd do for $2 gasoline now!

Tom Camper, with Carter Transport, unloads 8,000 gallons of gasoline into tanks at the Miller Mart at the intersection of Clinton Parkway and Wakarusa Drive. Gasoline prices in the Midwest are hovering close to the $2-per-gallon price.

The Donkey Whisperer, Roger Williams, for Congress

In this video, you can't help but like Roger Williams who is running for Congress in Texas' new 33rd congressional district.

While the President enjoys his vacation, I tried to talk some sense into his party's leadership. As you can see in the video, I gave them tough love & tough talk about the importance of the free market - we need to put the liberal donkey days behind us.

Amnesty by Executive Order

The Homeland Security Department said Thursday it will halt deportation proceedings on a case-by-case basis against illegal immigrants who meet certain criteria such as attending school, having family in the military or are primarily responsible for other family members' care.

. . .

"Supporters of comprehensive and targeted amnesties for illegal aliens have consistently failed to win approval by Congress or gain support from the American public," said Dan Stein, president of the Federation for American Immigration Reform. "Having failed in the legislative process, the Obama administration has simply decided to usurp Congress's constitutional authority and implement an amnesty program for millions of illegal aliens."

Barack’s Bus Force One

Don't you love how people that preach to you about fuel economy and keeping your tires inflated to the proper level tour the country tearing up the highways in a mega-ton bus that not only costs the taxpayers $1.1 million but also uses more fuel than any domestic vehicle on the planet?

And what's the bus all about?  It's so Obama can preach to us common folk about jobs and the economy.  That's quite ironic considering that Obama's bus was retrofitted in Canada.

And just to be fair, the GOP presidential nominee will get to tour the country in a bus just like it.  There's another 1.1 million in tax dollars down the drain.

Good thing we raised the debt ceiling and we're cutting spending.  Ha!

Special Accommodation for Sharia in Tennessee: Islamic Head Coverings Exempt from Sheriff Policies - Atlas Shrugs

A  change of policy because two people complained!  How many people will have to complain about this exemption for them to change it?

Beginning Friday, religious head coverings will be exempted from Davidson County Sheriff's Office policies that require the removal of head coverings for booking photographs and upon entering courthouses and other county facilities.The move was made at the request of the American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee, which received complaints from two Muslim individuals asked to remove head coverings

Westboro “Baptist Church” Scumbags to Protest

It does look like Phelps' sickos at Westboro "Baptist Church" are planning to protest the funeral services of Navy Seal Petty Officer Matt Mason on Wednesday.

This is from their picket schedule:

Church of the Resurrection in Leawood, KS August 17, 2011 9:15 AM - 10:00 AM

WBC to picket nearby in lawful proximity to the funeral of Navy Seal Petty Officer Matt Mason.  The Doomed american military would like to do harm to WBC for her faithful message to this last generation of all time.  The mere fact that they wish to do so, that they would if they could, has put them square in the crosshairs of God's wrath.  So, on a day appointed by God, August 6, 2011, this member of Doomed america's military was among those whose souls were required of them this day to give an answer for their sins, chiefly their wishes to destroy the apple of God's eye, His elect servants of WBC.

. . .

Here's a news release they published last week.

Surely there's a counter-protest planned.  I'll update as I get more information, but I'm going to be offline tonight.

Happy Birthday!

Whose birthday is it today?  I'll give you some hints:

• This person's long form birth certificate has never been released to the general public.
• This person's college records were never released to the general public.
• This person lives in the white house.
• This person's mother is a mid-western gal.
• This person's father is from a completely different part of the world.
• This person's hair keeps getting grayer and grayer.

I'm sure you've guess it by now.  Yes, it's MY birthday today.  So, when you're sick of hearing about the celebrating that's going on in Washington, think of me instead!
