Silence

Seeing that I am still reeling a bit from my sleeping adventure yesterday and because there really is not anything that I feel the absolute need to write about. I shall be taking a break.

This is while my body tries to figure out when to sleep and when to stay awake.

In the meantime, I will posting links. But don’t expect novels, at least not on this iPod touch.

I’m Back!

Please note: When reading this, try to imagine someone speaking in a slight southern accent; like I do. It will help to make it sound funnier.

As I told you all, I went out with my Dad today. I went with him to his retirees meeting at the UAW Local that he is a member of. It is in Southwest Detroit, where I grew up; a bit closer to downtown Detroit, than where I lived. However, because I want to continue to live in this house, I will not get into the specifics of what happened down there.

What I can tell you is this:

  • It rained. As in, it rained hard; by the time we got to the union hall, I thought we were going to have to ditch the truck and grab a canoe! My Dad was nice enough to drop me and Dad’s friend Irvin off at the door; and you should have seen me come out of that truck! I come out of that truck, like a lost cat that realized that he had wandered into the dog section of the animal pound —- around lunchtime. Yes, it was like that. Ever watch Scooby Doo? You know, when he stumbles upon a ghost and get the wits scared out of him? Yeah, like that. It came complete sound effects too, with “ooh’s eek’s and aah’s.” Oh, it was a wonderful time. I also, when I made it inside, kindly informed the people in the office that whomever was doing the rain dance, really needed to stop. Because the rain was here, in buckets!

So, finally the meeting was over. My Dad stopped at Vernor Coney Island and picked up some Coney Dogs for lunch for Him and Me and rest of the family here. So, I grabbed me a Diet Pepsi out of the fridge, came back down here to what my Mother calls my dungeon, and proceeded to devour me a couple of coney dogs and catch up on what was happening in the political world, while I was out cavorting with the organized labor movement. (Please Note: When I say cavorting, I don’t mean screwing. Hell, they were a bunch of grey-headed old people. Mostly men, and I do not swing that way, sorry. 😉 I mean hanging around them. It is an attempt at humor. Please, laugh. 😀 )

So, anyhow; I ate my dogs and fiddled around, and putted around and read a little here and little there. The next thing I know, an hour had passed and I realized that I was getting rather tired. So, I figured I would grab me a little nap; and nap I did….:

For Six Long Freaking Hours! 

I woke up, and rolled over at looked at the iPod touch and said aloud, “7 o’clock?!?!” I got up, and stumbled around; and went up stairs. Mom was fixing TV dinners. My Father, ever the funny man; greeted me with the normal greeting: “Well, Hello there, Sleeping Beauty!” I grinned, mumbled a little and went to the bathroom. Six hours of sleeping adds up to lot of urine storage. (Yes, I know, yuck. But, hey, it’s all true.)

So, there you have it. What I have done for most of the day. I hope you have enjoyed this rather funny story, as much as I have writing it. It is all true; my parents will verify it. I like going out with my Dad and his friend Irvin, I could write a book, about those two, when they get together. As well, as the funny stuff that goes on, when my Dad and his fishing friends, get together. Someday, I might write about that stuff. now, I live here, and I do not really want to get sued.

Till next time!

Video: Is the biography of President Barack Obama a big lie?

This comes via Yid with a Lid:

Quote:

Few if any of his predecessors took the oath of office with higher public hopes for his success than President Obama on Jan. 20, 2009.

Millions of Americans hailed his election as an end to partisanship, a renewal of the spirit of compromise and a reinvigoration of the nation’s highest ideals at home and abroad.

Above all, as America’s first black chief executive, Obama symbolized the healing of long-festering wounds that were the terrible national legacy of slavery, the Reconstruction Era and Jim Crow. We would be, finally, one nation.

But after nearly four years in office, Obama has become a sharply polarizing figure.

His admirers believe he deserves a special place alongside Wilson, the Roosevelts and LBJ as one of the architects of benevolent government.

His critics believe he is trying to remake America in the image of Europe’s social democracies, replacing America’s ethos of independence and individual enterprise with a welfare state inflamed by class divisions.

Read the rest of this story right here at the Washington Examiner.

This is one of the reasons why this story here, that I reported, does not make any sense. Why would Obama want to leave that Chicago machine; if he is so connected to it?

Either way, go check out the story; it is very interesting.

 

Report: Obama is giving up and buying a retirement house in Hawaii

Normally, I take this stories for what they are worth. So, your normal disclaimers and Caveats are to be followed here; considering the sources of this report. In other words, if this turns out to be a load of baloney, just remember; it is just speculation.

This comes via Pat Dollard and it is being reported over at Joseph Farah’s WorldNetDaily.com: (I will always call it that, this WND.com business is a bunch of baloney! 😉 )

Quote:

Are Obama insiders secretly making retirement plans for the Obamas with the expectation the president will lose his bid for re-election in November?

Very quietly, Obama’s chief financier, Penny Pritzker, has entered the Hawaii housing market to buy a retirement home for the president and his family that will be available not in 2016, but in January 2013, according to a confidential source within Pritzker’s Chicago organization

Pritzker, a wealthy Chicago business executive and heiress to the Hyatt Hotels fortune, served as national finance chairman for Obama’s 2008 campaign and is the co-chairman of his 2012 effort.

The source told WND that highly confidential internal polls conducted by the Obama campaign indicate Obama cannot win re-election, despite public surveys that show him in the lead.

“The public polls are mostly political,” the source argued. “Obama radicals want Romney supporters to feel discouraged and give up. Truth is that Romney’s winning.”

Seems to me that someone, who claims to be “of the people” would not be living in a place that really is “of the wealthy.” Now, before anyone says it, I do not fault Obama for being wealthy. I just fault him and the Democrats for straight up lying to the American people and saying that he is struggling with us. Yeah, like He and Michelle are really struggling! 🙄 Just look at the picture on your left!

Only thing Barack Obama is struggling with is how many rounds of golf that he will want to play everyday, when he hits the greens, after he retires.

However, as much as I want to believe this story. Something tells me that it is a good deal of wishful thinking by many people; including those up at WND.COM. Because I believe that the Democrats are going to do anything they can; including voter fraud and ballot stuffing, to keep Obama in the White House for another term. Because Obama is all the Democrats have left. After that, it is chaos in that party.

Either way, it will be interesting to see if whether Jerome Corsi is right about this story or not.

 

Follow up: Jack Schaap, Former Pastor of First Baptist Church, could get 10 years for affair with a minor

You remember the story about Jack Schaap, the Pastor of First Baptist Church of Hammond, Indiana?

Well, Mr. Schaap has signed a plea agreement with the Federal Government. The Christian Post has more:

Jack Schaap, former pastor of First Baptist Church of Hammond in Indiana, has signed a plea agreement in the U.S. District Court in Hammond admitting his relationship with a young woman when she was just 16. Schaap was charged with inappropriate behavior and taking a minor across state lines for the purpose of sex, and may be facing up to 10 years in prison.

“I have agreed, as set forth in a separate filing with the Court, to wave my right to Indictment by a federal Grand Jury with respect to the charge of transporting a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity and to plead guilty to that charge,” reads Schaap’s plea agreement in court documents obtained by The Christian Post.

The court document also states that the expected sentence for such a crime could be up to 120 months, or 10 years incarceration

(….)

…First Baptist Church of Hammond relieved the pastor of his duties last month after a deacon apparently found a text message on his cell phone that showed the pastor and the girl kissing.

In the plea agreement, Schaap revealed that the relationship with the girl lasted two months, and that he had taken her from Indiana to Illinois and Michigan to have sex with her, the documents show.

The 54-year-old pastor, who served the 15,000-member Hammond church for 11 years and had been trying to reconcile his marriage with his wife, may have to give up a number of items prosecutors believe he used in his communications with the teenage girl, including an iPad and iPhone, a digital camera and voice recorder, and two computer flash drives. According to records, Schaap had been counseling the girl when their relationship began.

I hate to be the one to say it about this man, but, it is the truth; the Man brought the whole thing on himself.  There are some who believe that this man was simply carrying on the tradition of his Father-in-Law, Jack Hyles. However, the thing that these people have to prove this little accusation is hearsay and accusations from disgruntled former members of the Church.  However, I have listened to this mans preaching in the past and there were things that bothered me. So, the fact that this man was brought up on charges, does not surprise me at all.

Again, it is a sad thing to behold; but, the Church is making it still and doing well. I pray for this man and his family.
