I guess I was not the only person that noticed

A few days ago, I wrote a rather hardcore article about what I saw in a CPAC interview over at HotAir.com

I guess I was not the only one who noticed. This blogger and this blogger, noticed it too.

Yeah, I know, both of those bloggers most likely hate my guts; but, when they are right, they are right. I won’t let my personal feelings about one or the both of them get in the way of facts.

Police State? Preschooler’s Homemade Lunch Replaced with Cafeteria “Nuggets”

The Story:


RAEFORD — A preschooler at West Hoke Elementary School ate three chicken nuggets for lunch Jan. 30 because a state employee told her the lunch her mother packed was not nutritious.

The girl’s turkey and cheese sandwich, banana, potato chips, and apple juice did not meet U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines, according to the interpretation of the agent who was inspecting all lunch boxes in her More at Four classroom that day.

The Division of Child Development and Early Education at the Department of Health and Human Services requires all lunches served in pre-kindergarten programs — including in-home day care centers — to meet USDA guidelines. That means lunches must consist of one serving of meat, one serving of milk, one serving of grain, and two servings of fruit or vegetables, even if the lunches are brought from home.

When home-packed lunches do not include all of the required items, child care providers must supplement them with the missing ones.

The girl’s mother — who said she wishes to remain anonymous to protect her daughter from retaliation — said she received a note from the school stating that students who did not bring a “healthy lunch” would be offered the missing portions, which could result in a fee from the cafeteria, in her case $1.25.

“I don’t feel that I should pay for a cafeteria lunch when I provide lunch for her from home,” the mother wrote in a complaint to her state representative, Republican G.L. Pridgen of Robeson County.

Something is wrong; badly wrong with our Government and it is not the Republicans in the house either. Just sayin’ 🙄

Gonorrhea, one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases in the United States, is increasingly showing resistance to one of the last known effective antibiotic treatments, leading researchers from the Centers for Disease Control to “sound the alarm” about potentially untreatable forms of the disease.

“During the past three years, the wily gonococcus has become less susceptible to our last line of antimicrobial defense, threatening our ability to cure gonorrhea,” Gail Bolan, director of the CDC’s sexually transmitted disease prevention program, wrote in The New England Journal of Medicine last week.

According to the CDC, gonorrhea has a long history of developing immunity to antibiotics, but doctors have always had a stronger medicine up their sleeves to treat patients. Not anymore—about 1.7 percent of gonorrhea is now resistant to cephalosporins, the last line of defense against gonorrhea. That might not seem like much, but it’s a 17-fold increase since 2006, when about one tenth of one percent of gonorrhea was believed to have resistance to cephalosporins.

Yeah, I admit it; this is a ballsy attempt at link bait and increased orgasm blog traffic. 😛

Is it that bad to be a cop up in NYC?

Dang:

A cop killed himself yesterday on his way home after finishing his shift in Queens — becoming the fourth NYPD officer to die by his own hand in less than a month, sources told The Post.

Matthew Schindler, 39, a 14-year veteran and married father of three kids, pulled his car over at about 4:30 p.m. on the eastbound side of the Long Island Expressway near Exit 40 in Jericho and shot himself under the chin, the sources said.

Minutes earlier, Schindler, a highway-safety officer, texted his sergeant to tell him he would not be seeing him anymore.

“He was one of the nicest people we ever met,” said a family friend, Ryan Proce, 38. “He’s just an all-around great guy.”

Fellow cops were called back to the 115th Precinct station house in Jackson Heights last night and told the tragic news.

Flags at the building were lowered to half-staff.

“Oh, God, not another one,” said Bill Genet, head of a volunteer group that counsels troubled cops.

It was the fourth suicide to hit the NYPD in 2012 and the second in eight days.

Awful. Just awful.…and I’m not being sarcastic either. This stuff happens when people lose all hope for living. Nothing is worth that man, nothing at all.

Prayers for the man’s family.

In the spirit of this posting; I have added the banner on the left side, under the first adsense ad. Because it is just the right thing to do.

 

Why I cannot stand Mitt Romney

For this crap right here:

The Obama Administration’s $85 billion auto bailout in 2009 was “crony capitalism on a grand scale,” according to Mitt Romney.

In an opinion editorial published today by The Detroit News, the Republican presidential hopeful not only attacks the way the administration handled the bailout of General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group LLC, but argues that the United Auto Workers union benefited from the bankruptcies in wake of contributing millions to Democrats and Barack Obama’s campaign.

“Thus, the outcome of the managed bankruptcy proceedings was dictated by the terms of the bailout,” Romney writes. “Chrysler’s ‘secured creditors,’ who in the normal course of affairs should have been first in line for compensation, were given short shrift, while at the same time, the UAWs’ union-boss-controlled trust fund received a 55 percent stake in the firm.”

I mean, the man is a serial flip-flopper, to the point when Jennifer Granholm, of all people, had to point this out. Now he is trying to appeal to the wealthy Republicans by capping the auto industry. The dude is a two-bit phony and I believe Michigan is getting hip to this. Which is why he is failing in the polls here. I am not a fan of Santorum either; but at least he is honest about what he actually is.  But, no matter, neither of them will win to Obama. Which is why I believe we need a brokered Convention in the Republican Party. So we can put a real Conservative in there, a Tea Party candidate and not some beltway veteran.

Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder continues to rebuild the disaster that Jennifer Granholm created

He has his work cut out for him.

Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder says he is not looking to take over Detroit.

Rather, he says his newly-proposed budget will allow him to “partner” with Detroit and other distressed cities as he continues to “reinvent” Michigan.

“It is about us working together as a team,” Snyder told Mayor Dave Bing on Monday during a Detroit Economic Club luncheon at the Westin Book Cadillac hotel. “We need to provide basic services to our citizens.”

“…There are tough things that need to be done, but let’s do the tough things now so we don’t need to keep looking over our shoulder. We can build on a bright future.”

Snyder delivered those remarks as a 10-member review team continues to investigate Detroit’s finances ahead of possible intervention. Absent a 30-day extension, which they have not requested, the team will present its findings to Snyder at the end of the month.

Speaking with reporters after his speech, Snyder said he was pleased that Bing has reached tentative contract agreements with city unions, a key component of the mayor’s plan to resolve Detroit’s financial crisis without the need for an emergency manager.

Like I said, Rick Snyder has his work cut out for him; what with the Democrats in Michigan’s Congress and the liberal media here that is totally biased against him. Heck, even the Fox News affiliate here in Detroit, good old Fox 2 Detroit — is even biased against this Governor.  I have said this before, and I will say it again — If Governor Snyder can pull this state back out of the cesspool that Democrat Jennifer Granholm put this state into; he will really be doing something. Hell, at this point; I will take half way back in one term and the rest in the next term.

However, if I know Michigan and the people around here like I do; Michigan will not elect another Republican Governor. Because the Democrat establishment around here demands to be kowtowed down to and if the Republican in office does not do this, he never gets elected. That is how it has been around here for a very long time. In other words, a Governor Scott Walker would never work around these parts. Further more, the Democrats around here and the liberal media, which is about every media outlet around here; are in cahoots together and they control the message. Perfect example, the article I linked to; just read how it is biased against the Governor, the whole wording of the article. No mention of Granholm’s disastrous term in office.

Anyway, I look forward to seeing what, if anything, Governor Snyder can do for the State. If anything, seeing how bad the Democrats screwed this State up.

 

A rather funny discovery

I was looking at my categories on the blog here, when I was doing my last posting. I had Technology spelled “Techology”

*facepalm* 😳

…and I couldn’t change it for some reason. (Bug in software?!?!)

Anyhow, it’s changed. I had to delete old category and add new one. (Which is a PITA, because I had to orphan some posts. Grrrr. :mad:)
