A true infidel, heathen and criminal dares attack president-elect Obama. Islam is an evil religion rife with barbarism, deception and archaic methods of enslaving its people, especially women.
President-elect Obama must stand firm against the scourge of Islam and lop off the head of its leadership wherever it may arise. Using racism to taunt Obama will not work as the president-elect is a wary man not given to being intimidated.

Notice to All American Workers:
As of November 5, 2008, when President Obama is officially elected into office, our company will instill a few new policies which are in keeping with his new, inspiring issues of change and fairness:
1. All salespeople will be pooling their sales and bonuses into a common pool that will be divided equally between all of you. This will serve to give those of you who are underachieving a ‘fair shake.’
2. All low level workers will be pooling their wages, including overtime, into a common pool, dividing it equally amongst yourselves. This will help those who are ‘too busy for overtime’ to reap the rewards from those who have more spare time and can work extra hours.
3. All top management will now be referred to as ‘the government.’ We will not participate in this ‘pooling’ experience because the law doesn’t apply to us.
4. The ‘government’ will give eloquent speeches to all employees every week, encouraging it’s workers to continue to work hard ‘for the good of all.’
5. The employees will be thrilled with these new policies because it’s ‘good to spread the wealth.’ Those of you who have underachieved will finally get an opportunity; those of you who have worked hard and had success will feel more ‘patriotic.’
6. The last few people who were hired should clean out their desks. Don’t feel bad, though, because President Obama will give you free healthcare, free handouts, free oil for heating your home, free food stamps, and he’ll let you stay in your home for as long as you want even if you can’t pay your mortgage. If you appeal directly to our democratic congress, you might even get a free flat screen TV and a coupon for free haircuts (shouldn’t all Americans be entitled to nice looking hair?)!

I don't know why this man isn't in political office. Listen to his reasoning.

Sari-sari stores continue to be common fixtures in every Filipino
neighborhood – be it in impoverished or affluent communities. But just like any
manifestation of local cultural identity, "sari-sari stores" continue to evolve.
Sari-sari stores are very small, privately owned stores that one may find anywhere in the Philippines.
From “sari-sari on-a-bike" in Makati City (an affluent burb of Manila) , to “hila hila stores" in Vitas, Tondo, (not so affluent - ghetto)
to a floating “sari-sari store" in the Artex Compound in Malabon, the localized
version of the Philippine convenience store is certainly colorful.
The sari-sari store
is an important economic and social location in a Filipino community. It is
present in almost all neighborhoods, sometimes several on a street or in a cluster. The word
sari-sari is Tagalog for "various kinds". Most sari-sari stores are privately
owned shops and are operated inside the shopkeeper's house or as an addition to it.
Commodities are
displayed in a large screen-covered or metal barred window in front of the shop.
Candies, canned goods and cigarettes are often displayed while cooking oil, salt
and sugar are often stored in sacks or cans. A small window is also present
where the customer's requested commodity is given. A cigarette lighter tied to
the window can also be found. Benches and sometimes tables are also provided in
front of the sari-sari store. A shade is placed above it which is also used to
cover the large window when the store closes.
The sari-sari store allows
members of the community easy access to basic commodities at low costs. In the
Philippines, following the concept of tingi (retail), a customer can buy 'units'
of the product rather than whole package. For example, one can buy an egg for
about 5 peso (0.10 cents US) or a stick of cigarette for 1 peso (0.02 cents US)
rather than a whole pack. This is convenient for those who cannot afford to buy the whole
package or do not need much of it. Whole packages are available for purchase
also.
The sari-sari store also saves the customer transportation costs,
especially those in rural areas, since some towns can be very far from the
nearest market or grocery. The store also serves as a secondary or even primary
source of income for shopkeepers. The owners can buy commodities in bulk in
groceries then sell them in the store at a mark-up price.
Trucks, tricycles,
motorcycles/w side car, and bicycles with side-car deliver LPG and soft drinks
to the store itself. The store requires little investment since the products are
cheap and only a few modifications on one side of a house are needed to convert
it to a sari-sari store.
The sari-sari store offers a place where people
can meet. The benches provided in front of the store are usually full of men and
women. Some men would spend some time drinking while women discuss the latest
local news. Youths also use the place to hang out. Children would also rest here
in the afternoon after playing and buy soft drinks and snacks.

The bailout was a very bad idea. The proposed nationalization of banking systems is a terrible idea. And Obama's plan to provide a stimulus and tax small business just adds to the coming perfect storm and collapse of the economy into a wicked stagflation at best, and a collapse equal or worse than that experienced by the Germans, aka the Weimar Republic in 1918-1923.
I urge you fellow citizens, be you Democratic or Republican, to prepare for the coming collapse. For if our government does not cease and desist from the current economic madness we could easily see Mad Max type terror in the very same streets we now toss footballs around in, and all within two years or even quite less.
Again, learn for yourselves what is happening to the economy. The collapse may well usher in a one-world economic system long envisioned by the elite who must be chomping at the bit and frothing at the mouth with the looming prospect and fulfillment of their collective dream.
I respectfully urge you to stockpile food, clothes, weapons and ammunition. The money you currently have will be worth nothing when hyperinflation comes, one worse than the 1970's. Call me what you will, but I am preparing daily.
For your consideration, several videos.

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you would have $49.00 today.
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you would have $33.00 today.
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you will have $0.00 today.
But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for recycling refund, you would have received $214.00.
Based on these statistics, the best current investment strategy is to drink heavily and recycle. It's called the 401Keg plan.

"Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world" (1John 4:1).
False prophets and teachers are no stranger to Christianity. They proliferated in the times of the Old Testament and even moreso now. In fact, those with Godly discernment have surely read some here on the blogs. So how to we spot these cults and false teachers?
Aside from being indwelled with the Holy Spirit one can't. While it is certainly true that some cults are obviously errant in their teaching (and thus recognizable) those same unbelievers may believe that very thing of others who are in line with God's word.
Here then are some means whereby one may ascertain whether they have run upon a cult.
1. Most cults typically have someone at the top, that is, a leader. This person is often charismatic and wields such power (both real and ostensible) that cult members dare not speak out against him or her.
2. The aforementioned leader and his lieutenants will shun those who don't believe, including family members and friends. Too, they often highly encourage members of the cult to assemble with those of like "faith." It is highly likely that they will claim some "hidden" message or new revelation to entice the unknowing.
3. The charismatic leader is ever at work seeking total control. This may be sly and unassuming or be direct and assaultive. Invariably the person will be asked and/or required to donate sums of money and time to the "cause" for their best interest.
4. Sometimes very well versed in the Bible (albeit errantly and without proper exegesis) the leader will "brainwash" the congregation into his/her belief system, often with long Bible studies or teaching sessions. Too, he will provide his flock with answers to questions from others concerning their cultic or errant beliefs. At the heart of this teaching lies a demon who dilutes the truth, proffers a lie, and deceives.
5. Eventually the flock become mere drones and cease to think for themselves. The irony here is that few would recognize themselves in this position. False teachers often claim extraordinary powers of healing, prophecy and other false signs and wonders. They may make bold claims of lineage or ancestry.
6. Cult members begin to and finally do lose activities, proclivities and pleasures that formerely were part of their lives. These may include sports, clubs and/or activities that they derived pleasure and fun from. Old friends will be replaced with new friends from within the cult.
7. Also, at times some (but certainly not all) members may adopt a certain dress code, diet and daily routine on behest of their leader. In addition, once they have been ingrained with the doctrine of the cult (its teachings) they will be sent out on recruitment missions in person or on blogs and forums.
So who can we trust? The Bible provides the answer. ""Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD" (Jeremiah 17:5).
And too: "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Last night I splurged and sat right behind the bench for the Dallas Stars preseason match against the depised Chicago Blackhawks. And what a game it was! Before 6 minutes had elapsed three fights had occured.
As the night progressed pucks, fists and blood rained on the ice. At one point in the 3rd period both penalty boxes were so full there was standing room only. I remarked to Dave Tippett that "they" needed to build a second story on the box. If he heard me he didn't let on, although I did catch a smirk.
Chicago's Kyle Beach (#12) was vocal and was leading his Blackhawks on. I hollerd at Sean Avery and said, "Avery, you have to take that Beach out, man!" He nodded in the affirmative. At the end of the 2nd period he called me over and said, "Wait 'til the 3rd period."
The 3rd period erupted with more brutal hits and an abundance of fights. I lost count at fifteen. I don't even remember the number of hits per team but I know there are a lot of sore bodies this morning.
Dallas's Sean Avery (#16) came out in the 3rd and commenced to beating Chicago's Ben Eager (#55) like a drum, grabbing him in a headlock and sliding past the home goal, crashing into the boards. Avery took a double minor and Eager was later ejected.
Dallas had many golden opportunities on the power play but failed to deliver more than twice. Chicagos's Antti Neimi was stellar in his defense of the goal. Chris Conner (Dallas #25) was like Jesse Owens running against a H.S. kid. No one could catch him on the ice. Brenden Morrow (#10) and Ribiero (#63) sat out the contest as did Phillipe Boucher (#43) and Zubov (#56).
The Blackhawks prevailed in the shootout for the hard-fought victory. I counted no less than 15 fights, 3 misconducts and a match penalty. There was a total of 138 penalty minutes. It was a great night for old-schoolhockey and I am inspired by the talent and motivation of our 2008-2009 Dallas Stars.
Tickets are available at 214-Go-Stars.
See you at the game!
