Dont Believe Everything You Hear.

Actually theres more to that than just hearing. My mother always said, "Believe only a quarter of what you hear, one third of what you read and half of what you see." But I think those were the days of 60 years ago. I don't think we can believe that much of what we hear, read and see today.

Recently I was reading on the Internet that Blake Farenthold was taking a tax payer paid junket with his family to Florida to watch the Space Shuttle. This was deemed inappropriate for a congressman that was championing fiscal responsibility.

This morning, I was privileged to visit with Congressman Farenthold and posed the question, "Is it appropriate for you to spend taxpayers money on a junket to Florida." His answer was direct and satisfactory.

"I am paying for that trip out of my own pocket. The only perk I am getting at taxpayers expense is a meal of cornbread and beans which is a traditional celebration of a successful mission"

Somehow I don't think that a meal of cornbread and beans is such a big price to pay to a congressman that is doing his best under trying circumstances as a Freshman Congressman in a legislature that is dominated by an opposition controlled Senate and an opposition President.

No, I don't agree with Blake on every vote. But, then, I don't agree with my wife on everything but I married her anyway and its lasted 54 years!

There are things that I hope to educate Congressman Farenthold on and perhaps there are things that he will educate me on. But lets not go after him with Internet rumors. Yes, lets ask him to explain them and if he can, then let him off the hook.

In this case he has, in my opinion, put the rumor to rest.

Third Party, To Be Or Not To Be?

I recieved the following post from Rachel Delgado in Galveston Texas. I think it presents a perfect solution to the third party jinx.

Most TEA Partiers don't believe a third party is an option. There is another way!!

I WANT YOU to become a precinct chair! If you can't beat 'em. Take over! CLICK ON THIS LINK TO SEE HOW


The Galveston County Republican Party Chairman recently resigned. The Clear Lake Tea Party President ran for his spot but lost by a slim margin. If we recruit TEA Partiers for precinct chairmanships we can win and take over the Republican Party.

Get in touch with your local Republican Party and find out how to become a precinct chairman.

Isn't it A Crime To Lie Under Oath?

Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and BOEMRE head Michael Bromwich lie to Rep. John Fleming in a congressional hearing.


This video is evidence. This video presented in court convicts these two witnesses of perjury. Why are they NOT being prosecuted? Yes, I understand that it would be difficult to win a conviction on these as the defendants would stand by their comments that they were misinformed, didn't understand, or something equally ridiculous. If they are the "Experts" and they don't understand then we should fire them for incompetence even if we cant get a conviction on perjury.

Ok, so we cant win a conviction, but isn't this a really cheap way to spread the word? Cant some lawyer bring suit against them and then it becomes news that HAS to be reported on. Even if you don't win a conviction you have months and months of free advertising that you would never get any other way. Even if you cant get a "Pro Bono" lawyer, and you should be able to find someone that has political convictions even if most are as bad as the clients they defend, the cost would be better spent on a lawyer to press the case than on paid advertising.

The Left has proposed the tactic of flooding the welfare system to bankrupt the system and bring down the government so that they can reshape it. I propose that we flood the justice system with suits such as these to educate the people to what is actually happening.

Most lawmakers are lawyers whether on the left or on the right (something I think is a conflict of interest) so we should have many right wing lawyers that could pursue this agenda in the name of furthering their cause.

Personally, I would rather spend the money, I would normally send to a candidate for reelection, on these lawsuits!!!

The US Is Quickly Becoming Immune To Islam

I know many of you are alarmed by the Mosque at ground zero. Also many are concerned about a mosque "next door". But, it turns out that America is quickly becoming immune to the erection of Mosques.

I am not particularly opposed to the construction of mosques, but I am opposed to, militant Islam. If stopping the erection of ONE "militant mosque" is possible I am for it.

I saw this comment on a recent email.

" Plant a pig
Don't want a mosque built in your area? Some people are discouraging it by scattering pork on the proposed sites. The Muslims then decide that the land is defiled, so they can't build there. "

It may not be necessary to do all that. You may not have to be all that active. Mother Nature seems to be doing it for us.

It doesnt take long in a search for Feral Hogs on the Internet to find the alarming statistics of how the wild hog population is exploding. It is already in 39 states. Some states have a "shoot at will" stance on the hunting of feral hogs.

The following was cut and pasted from this website:
http://pubs.ext.vt.edu/news/livestock/2011/01/LU_01-01-11-10.html

"How Many and Where?

Unfortunately the U.S. feral hog population is well established and growing. Precise determination of any wildlife population is impossible, but recent estimates indicate approximately 4 million feral hogs exist in the U.S. By comparison the September 2010 USDA inventory of hogs and pigs raised for agricultural purposes (i.e. on hog farms) was 65 million. Texas has the largest population of feral hogs estimated at 1 to 1.5 million followed by Florida with as many as 500,000, Hawaii with as many as 80,000 and California with as many as 70,000 (reviewed by Seward and co-workers, 2004). More recent information indicates that the population is growing and spreading. Feral hogs are now reported in 39 states (Southeastern Cooperative Wildlife Disease Study, 2009; http://www.scwds.org/)."

With the population exploding and with the "shoot at will" stance of many states, all we have to do is "kill and bury" at the site where shot. The land will progressively become more and more "defiled" and will block the construction of unwanted mosques. Just be sure to advertise your burial so all will know where not to build a mosque.

Looks like it may not be nice to mess with Mother Nature in more than one way!!

Controlling the Universe

A while back I noticed something interesting as I sat in my living room watching TV. I have three chiming clocks. One is a tall old Grandfather clock that chimes every quarter hour with the Westminster chimes. On the hour it counts the hour. The second is a smaller, Grandmother clock. It also strikes every quarter hour and counts the hour on the hour. The third is a mantle clock the strikes once on the half hour and then counts the hour on the hour.

These three clocks sit in my living room and in the entry way to the house. They are in a triangle that is about 10 feet on two sides and five feet on the third side.

What I noticed was that they didn't all strike the hour at the same time even though I originally set them to all chime in unison. Being a scientist, this puzzled me so I set about looking for answers.

After a lot of physics and mathematics I finally discovered the answer and it gave me control of the universe. I don't know what I will do with that control, but it should be worth something to someone.

How, did I do that , I am sure you are asking?

Well if you start with the fact that the universe is expanding it soon becomes clear that the time between any one of those clocks an the center of the universe is different from the time for another clock. That difference is determined by how far any clock is from the center of the universe. Since the universe all started at a singularity at the beginning of time (there was no such thing as time before the Big Bang) then the clock that is furthest from the center of the universe is the oldest clock and the one closest to the center is the youngest clock. Thus the clock furthest from the center of the universe will chime FIRST!!!

Now using mathematics and triangulation it is possible to determine in which direction the universe is expanding and at what rate it is expanding. The clock that chimes first is closet to the "edge" of the universe and with three clocks the exact direction that the universe is expanding can be determined. Tonight it is expanding toward the west at about 3 feet per second. This is very revealing and very useful when combined with the information that follows.

Those that are familiar with quantum physics know of the "Heisenberg Uncertainty Principal", right? Well, what it basically says is that the minute you begin to measure something, you change the thing that you are measuring. Thus, to have absolute certainty of the position of something, you give up certainty of its motion and the reverse is also true. Therefore as soon as I begin counting the seconds between the arrival of the time front across the three clocks I change the direction and speed of that motion.

So this explains why some evenings we are expanding to the West at 3 feet per second and at other times I measure the expansion to the North at 2.3 feet per second, etc. It is being changed by my measurement!!!

Here comes the exciting part. I can measure the change that my measuring causes by looking at the results. Now, being able to see what effect my measurements have, I can use that knowledge to "shift" the expansion direction and speed as I please. Ok, Ok, it might be like rowing a round boat across a pond, sort of iffy, but I think I can learn to control it somewhat and I will then have complete control of the universe!

OK, so now what can I do with that control? Anyone have any ideas? Please respond quick because there are some guys coming in the front door that look like they are crazy. They have a big net and look like they are looking for big butterflies.

OOps, gotta go. These guys want me to help them.

Monkeys, Bananas and Cold Water

This was sent to me by a friend. I dont know where it came from originally or I would give credit. But it is so good that there is no point in my writing a blog today when someone else has already done such a good job. Look at the bottom for a link to GOOOH, a group that is working on solving this problem.

If you start with a cage containing five monkeys and inside the cage, hang a banana on a string from the top and then you place a set of stairs under the banana, before long a monkey will go to the stairs and climb toward the banana. As soon as he touches the stairs, you spray all the other monkeys with cold water. After a while another monkey makes an attempt with same result ... all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it. Now, put the cold water away.

Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one. The new monkey sees the banana and attempts to climb the stairs. To his shock, all of the other monkeys beat the crap out of him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs he will be assaulted.

Next, remove another of the original five monkeys, replacing it with a new one. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment... with enthusiasm.

Then, replace a third original monkey with a new one, followed by a fourth, then the fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs he is attacked. Most of the monkeys that are beating him up have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs. Neither do they know why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey.

Finally, having replaced all of the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys will have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, none of the monkeys will try to climb the stairway for the banana. Why, you ask? Because in their minds... that is the way it has always been!

This, my friends, is how Congress operates... and is why, from time to time, all of the monkeys need to be REPLACED.

The Political Action Committee GOOH or "Get Out Of Our House" is a group that plans on dethroning ALL the monkeys in 2012. Their plan includes finding the candidates from the general public (no politicians need apply), educating them on the legal hoops they have to jump through to get registered for the primary, financing the primary campaign, and continuing financing through the general campaign.

BTW, signing up on this site costs NOTHING unless you decide to run and then the cost is $100 and GOOOH covers the rest. Filling out the profile and taking the voting test costs NOTHING.
