ConfushaSay: Quote

If language is not corect, then what is said is not what is meant; if what is said is not what is meant, then what must be done remains undone; if this remains undone, morals and art will deteriorate; if justice goes astray, the people will stand about helpless confusion. Hence there must be no arbitrariness in what is said. This matters about everything.

dollaradayandfound: USA, Iraq government--vacation time

Isn't it comforting to know that our troops in Iraq can bear the August heat better than the Iraqi legislature? We seem to be able to adapt to anything!

a.p.reast: Alien Felons

Finally an article that makes sense. Many of us in the Law Enforcement community are ready to give up on law enforcement if the subject is Hispanic because of language difficulties, never been able to trace their new whereabouts and no one being interested in their deportation. If we cannot even deport the child rapists, drunken repeat car homicides , drug mules etc., what hope is there for any control of our borders?

On Second Thought, Don't Surrender
In an important and surprising New York Times op-ed piece, Michael O'Hanlon and Kenneth Pollack, both from the liberal Brookings Institution, describe a visit to Iraq, where they find that things are not as bad as--well, as New York Times readers have been led to believe. The piece is titled "A War We Just Might Win":

I haven't been in a few years (five to be exact) and it has really changed. It was kind of gross. People were not only drinking beer while in the ocean, but smoking and flicking their cigarette butts as well.

Muddle,have you been there? I went with some of my children this weekend.

I thought of you when I saw the Allman Brothers Band display. We also rode the tour bus around the city. The tour guide drove down the street, where Gregg Allman and Cher lived when they were in town.

Mixer: By 2030, 75% of the budget will be entitlements.

From 2005 to 2030, the 65-and-over population will nearly double to 71 million; its share of the population will rise to 20 percent from 12 percent. Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid—programs that serve older people—already exceed 40 percent of the $2.7 trillion federal budget. By 2030, their share could hit 75 percent of the present budget, projects the Congressional Budget Office.

joyb: Tiny terrorist, with red toenail polish.

Well, John Wayne, you may keep whatever I wrote for whatever purpose floats your little boat. I think you will be hardpressed to find a terroristic threat in anything I said, unless the thought of people knowing what your fetish is all about makes you wet the bed again. If me inviting you to approach me in public and say the same things you say to these folks is a threat, then that's what I'd call a personal problem. I was brought up a proper lady and am not inclined to bloody noses gratuitously in street brawls. It's just that if you want to play mind games with me you are most likely bringing a knife to a gun fight. (Read that carefully; in English it's called a METAPHOR.) Google it. What you lot do is creepy--tearing people's reputations apart for lack of a real life. It ranks right up there with blackmail as a classy pastime.

Of the scores of billions we have spent trying to rebuild electrical production plants, water plants and distribution, transportation, etc., in Iraq, most if not nearly all of it, has been wasted.

BAGHDAD — The number of U.S. troops killed in Iraq has dropped sharply so far in July after reaching record levels in recent months, a possible sign that militants are weakening, the No. 2 U.S. commander in Iraq said Thursday.

The type of motivation required to succeed is intrinsic.

That's why capitalism and a free democracy will supplant a socialist dictatorship and socialism if we give it an opportunity to gain a foothold.

ConfushaSay: GHOST TOWN OF THE FUTURE

If Tyrone have lots of vacant space for lease, then building more offices will not create full occupancy. Count the "For Rent" signs in Tyrone. 10 vacancies in the complex next to Sonic's, a new building unoccupied in front of Chaps, tenants moving out in Publix shopping center, 40% vacancy on Palmetto Rd. With the Real Estate slow down, how is Tyrone going to build a new downtown and fill it up. Given the restrictions of business uses, existing businesses in downtown can't get license renewals and are experiencing loss of income. Wayne Adam's of Tyrone tire can't rent his vacant space due to licenses being turned down & Thompson Automotive is moving out. Nostalgia went out of business this year due to lack of income, Sarah's Consignment is gone, Oh My Baby Store & La Vie Boutique moved to Peachtree City, The Herb Shop was put out of business by Barry Amos' refusal to give an accessory use business license and Gidding's Upholstery is going out of business, Tyrone Transmission, Carden Plumbing, Mays Paint & Body, a Drywall Company and 4 other businesses on Palmetto Rd had to leave because their buildings were torn down for redevelopment. Jeff Alexander lost 3 tenants due to licenses restrictions at his Senoia Rd building and lessors at Howell Park have turned down doctors for the same reasons. All of the above this year, and it ain't over yet. But never fear bureaucrat Barry told Council that he attended a seminar with other bureaucrats on how to bring business into downtown. For anyone who thinks Amos is a good Town Manager, just look at the vacancies and the Tyrone laws that created them.

Two unusual things happened in the two subject places recently.
In Hershey, the Mayor and council passed a law that anyone who hires illegals will be fined $500 a day for each one, and anyone who rents to an illegal will be fined $1000 per day/ per illegal! I may have forgotten the exact amounts, but they were high, and with some jail, I think. It is to be enforced.

DISCLAIMER: Just ignore this blog folks. You weren't supposed to peek. Sad This is just a minor record keeping function so I can retain this letter full of terroristic threats just in case I need a little ammo for my upcoming campaign. But first, I have to determine whether this poster was actually Mrs. Ballard or if it was the shenanigans of a campaign operative from my other opponent; Mr. Rudjard Hayes. I’d like to think that is was dirty tricks rather than it actually being Mrs. Ballard.
