Curmudgeon's Corner
cur-mud-geon: anyone who hates hypocrisy and pretense and has the temerity to say so; anyone with the habit of pointing out unpleasant facts in an engaging and humorous manner
Village Buzz - October 1st...
These Things Are Big…
Is Technolgy Great or What?
The marketplace for television sets has been wild over the past few years. I am still using a Sony 'almost' flat screen monster that must weigh at least 350 pounds. It gives us a very sharp picture. Seemingly all of a sudden, I see flat screen plasma and LCD and LED sets that appear to weigh 25 or 30 pounds and that are a couple of inches thick. I see people carrying these things out of the store and placing them in their vehicles without a team of two or three people helping.
Wisconsin's New Wine Country
Many people are unaware that Wisconsin was a big tobacco raising state until about a decade or so ago. My hometown of Viroqua is located in Vernon County and was one of two major production areas in Wisconsin (the other was based around the Stoughton area). The tobacco raised was originally used as wrappers (the outside of the cigar) and later became mainly part of the fillers in the cigar. There is still tobacco grown in Wisconsin but it is a very small amount by comparison to earlier years.
Bush Tax Cut - Yea or Nay?
Most of us have probably heard the back-and-forth between Democrats and Republicans concerning the "Bush Tax Cuts" that are set to expire at the end of 2010 if not extended by Congress and agreed to by the President.
Welcome Back Old Canard...
I am old enough to have participated in many election cycles. Although I can't determine precisely when I heard the canard telling people that Republicans will destroy Social Security, I have heard it many, many times and I'm hearing it again.
Village Buzz - October 11th...
Washington County Police Radio System
There has been much discussion about the Milwaukee Police Department's issues with its new OpenSky two-way radio system. The issues stem from the lengthy process of installing and then trying to track down and eliminate the gremlins that seem inherent in this system. This system is sold by Harris Corporation, and it has been the source of problems elsewhere in addition to Milwaukee. New York State recently canned a $2 billion contract for OpenSky because it simply couldn't be made reliable enough to satisfy the needs.
Could the U.S. Have Done As Well As Chile?
The saga of the trapped miners in Chile has captivated the imagination for a couple of months. We were told that they could be rescued by Christmas. They are coming from the mine now and that is a significant achievement.
Our Sendik's Is Still Great...
Our Germantown Sendik's market has been open for some time now and I wondered if it would be able to keep the employees as motivated and helpful and cheerful as they were during the Grand Opening.
A Transaction Tax?
Ms. Pelosi has talked about her idea of a "transaction tax" and believes that it should be brought into being after the election during the lame duck session. The mention of it is found here.
Two Weeks & Counting
Two weeks and counting…until Election Day. I suspect that, like me, you are tired of all the campaigning, all the television advertisements and all the "debates" as well as being tired of all the trumped up charges of he did this, she didn't do that, etc. etc.
Right Direction?
Are we moving in the right direction?
A "Class Act"...
The last regular season game for Germantown's football team came down to a few seconds on the clock and a play for a two-point conversion. That play failed and we lost 21-20 to a very capable Homestead team.
Don't Tell Us How to Parent Your Child
State control over local education seems to be ever-growing and not just a little oppressive. The latest item is the brouhaha over the Cedarburg School Board's decision this past summer to have parents 'opt-in' for certain sex education classes for their children.
Reform of Congress?
People have talked for years about term limits and the costs of keeping members of Congress in Congress as well as maintaining their lifestyles following their retirement or removal from Congress. This seems a bit harsh in some respects, but it is certainly interesting:
The Final Few Days...
The final few days preceding the election are upon us and the pace of advertising is picking up…if that is even possible.
Don't Forget...
The health care changes that have begun, and which I refer to as ObamaCare, will be sweeping. There is a 10 minute YouTube piece that walks you through some of the encroachment that is contained in ObamaCare. You can view that here.

At the start of the 'Nineties, when mountain biking proved to be more of a conservative bicycle industry than a fat-tire fad, Juli Furtado was making waves in the budding professional off-road racing scene. In a half decade, she accumulated numerous world championships, but that streak was short-lived due to circumstances out outside of her control.
Furtado was forced to retire early from racing for health reasons, and she moved from the hub of Durango, Colorado to Santa Cruz, California in order to pursue other passions. She did, however, keep one hand in the mountain-biking world by working with Santa Cruz Bicycles' grassroots racing program, and even had Santa Cruz's first women's mountain bike named after her—the Juliana, arguably one of the bestselling women's mountain bikes to date. When Furtado was competing at the top of her game, it was the start of the mountain bike renaissance, and front suspension was just becoming standard issue.
Between her retirement and today, Furtado continued to ride recreationally, and enjoyed the rapid development of new technologies. Of course, this has included full-suspension, disc brakes, carbon fiber, and new wheel sizes, including the 27.5-inch and 29-inch standards that define the modern mountain bike. And while the Juliana model provided aspirational women an entry-level bike, there's always been a void in Santa Cruz's full line of bikes.
That brings us to the Juliana of today. Now a division of Santa Cruz that's headed by Furtado, Juliana's model lineup includes an aluminum hardtail, a single-pivot full suspension that's based on the original Juliana, and two Virtual Pivot Point bikes. Everything is proportional to properly fit the fairer sex, only without overdosing on cute. From the cranks, to the handlebars, to the saddle, and to the wheels, Furtado ensured that the ride's optimized for you.

A fun, fuzzy ride
'Muppets Most Wanted' worthy of its franchise
Do Muppets sleep? It's hard to say.
They don't really eat (or breathe, as far as anyone can tell). And only occasionally do they have visible, functioning legs.
As far as anyone knows, sleeping might be off the table. And that makes it very hard to accuse the Muppets of sleepwalking through their latest feature, Muppets Most Wanted – even if that's exactly what's going on.
Jim Henson's beloved creations were back in a big way after 2011's The Muppets, with fame and fortune and even an Oscar, a first for the group ("Rainbow Connection" was nominated, yet somehow failed to collect at the '79 ceremony). > Read more.

With every step we mothers take these days, we are aware that there is only one right and true path that we should follow, a "better" way to feed our baby, a "best" birth. But a birth isn't best unless it's vaginal and drug-free. Breastfeeding isn't really successful unless we do it exclusively and for a full year. (Not for one day more than a year, though; then you're a hippie freak.) - Amy Wilson, When Did I Get Like This?
I read this excerpt on my way to New Orleans a couple weeks ago and SO BADLY wanted to tweet about it, email a friend, and maybe even write a blog post but I was all on an airplane and stuff.
When I met up with Amy in New Orleans a few hours later, we sat on a couch and I gushed about her book. Then I said, So, I'm the hippie freak.
(Eff Why Eye: Ivy [2 yrs 8 months] hasn't nursed since Friday. It's all been quite casual, although my body is confused and now I look and feel six months pregnant. Which is so not fun when you aren't six months pregnant- or any pregnant.)
But I get it. You get it. We all get it. And that is how I feel about every part of Amy's book. (It's not all about breastfeeding by the way.)
It is so much of what Listen To Your Mother is about for me- the real-ness. The honest to goodness TRUTH. What we're really thinking. Not all the horror stories about new parenthood and not all the pretty roses either. It's the parts that actually glue this life together, that is the filling to the bad and good times. The things that we might not remember every detail about but that are woven in the cloth that becomes the skin we wear. No need to remember because it's just familiar. It's just something we know.
Think about when you read something and you're like, oh my gosh, I feel the exact same way and didn't even realize it, or know how to even express it, but there she did. Yes. That.
Win! I've given away all my copies of this book- including the very one I was reading on the plane (I gave it to the girl sitting next to me!), that is how much I want to share it.
And of course I am giving another copy (signed by Amy!) away to one commenter here. I do hope you love it as much as I do. All you have to do is leave one comment. For fun, mention something about motherhood that you feel like we've been taught to see as a fail, but is actually real, and works for you. Or any ol' comment will do.
Like When Did I Get Like This on facebook
Follow Amy Wilson on Twitter (you won't regret it)
Buy copies of her book for all the moms and dads you know
ed: I guess it would help if I put an end date to this giveaway! I'll choose one comment at random after 11:59pm Friday May 6.

North American Edition2014-04-24 11:41 UTC
The euro rose on a strong German Ifo business sentiment reading only to be knocked lower by ECB Draghi's hammer, which took the form of a warning that a worsening inflation outlook would be a trigger for QE. EUR-USD dropped back to near net unchanged levels around 1.3820 after peaking at 1.3343 in the immediate wake of the Ifo release. Elsewhere, USD-JPY continued to oscillate around 102.50, and sterling failed to react to a stronger than expected CBI ... Read More ►

The NZD was the sole mover in pre-Europe trade in Asia, rallying following a 25 bp rate hike by the RBNZ to 3.0%. The tightening was expected, but still elicited kiwi buying. NZD-USD logged a nine-day peak of 0.8636. USD-JPY didn't do much, opening in Tokyo around 102.45-50, dipping to a low of 102.24 and then settling around 102.35. Japan's Corporate Service Price Index for March came in at +0.7% y/y, as expected. Stock markets in Asia were generally ... Read More ►

The dollar started the N.Y. Wednesday session under modest pressure, though eventually recovered some ground against the euro and CHF. As has been the case this week, ranges remained narrow for the major dollar pairings. USD-JPY found support near the week's low, hovering near 102.20-40 after struggling over 102.50 for several sessions. EUR-USD peaked near 1.3855 in London trade, though was unable to match the level in N.Y., and eventually eased back ... Read More ►

Elegant Angel
Need we say more than Elegant Angel? That should be enough to make you run off and start your membership today. If you need more convincing, what do the names Lexi Belle, Lily Carter, Alexis Texas, Dani Daniels, Asa Akira and Jada Stevens do for you? How about the fact that their site has Asa in her first anal scene, her first double penetration scene and her first gangbang scene? Elegant Angel is one of the top powerhouses in porn and they do their Internet site like they do their hardcore features; they do it the best. In 2011 they brought home AVN glory taking home awards for Best Gonzo Release, Best Double Penetration Scene, Best Couples Scene and winning the Fan Favorite Movie Award for Asa Akira Is Insatiable. In 2012 their feature Portrait Of A Call Girl cleaned up at the yearly award show so as you can see Elegant Angel's body of work more than speaks for itself.
And so does their site. They have over 1,800 High Definition films available as we speak and their update rate (1 video EVERY DAY Monday-Friday) guarantees that this number will be higher by the time you join. The total number of videos you will have access to is well over 2,000 so you clearly get more than your monies worth on a full membership. As is typical of these big porn sites with huge collections, the older material is not available in the same High Definition formats as the newer material so expect to see a little quality degradation if you are watching the older smut. Their content is exclusive in that it is all Elegant Angel material but all of this material is available on DVD and some of the content may even pop up on other sites but that comes with the territory as Elegant Angel is so huge in the industry.
All of the file types you would expect to be available from a good porn site are there, and Elegant has a great Flash player that is top notch. It streams quickly with minimal buffering time allowing for quick and easy navigation when you are watching one of their features. One area Elegant falls slightly short of some of the other sites out there is in the still photo gallery department. Yes, they offer some galleries but it is clearly not what they are focusing on with their content and they haven't been updated in quite a while.
Their site is easy to navigate and many of the features that are now standard can be found. You can search by pornstar name, category and series. They have a tab dedicated to behind the scenes content if you are into that, as well as a tab that brings you to their DVD offerings. Select Massive Facials 5 and you have the option to play a trailer or watch the entire movie.
For Elegant Angel fans, this is a must join site as it allows you unprecedented access to their vast collection of well-produced and well-made smut. Newbies to porn would also benefit from a membership as it will give them access to the biggest names in porn as directed by one of the biggest production houses in the industry. Overall, a membership to Elegant Angel is going to be money well spent on a company that proves they produce award-winning smut year after year.

Adhesive Note Pads and Cubes
For your 3-walled home away from home.
Rush Service
Item# Z15
as low as $6.09
Item# SNC2A
as low as $4.97
Item# DK1037
as low as $4.28
When you need your advertising message to really stick, be sure to say it with adhesive notepads. After all, these items are classic giveaways that organizations have distributed for years. At first, many people opted for traditional yellow designs or added a touch of elegance by placing their new products in a nice desk valet. While these still make great items, today they are available in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. Thus making the perfect giveaway for organizations in all industries and every occasion, no matter where or when you choose to distribute them. For example, adhesive notepads coming from a grocery store or home improvement may have an additional impact if they feature lined paper and magnetic backings, as recipients could jot lists of all the things they need from the store.

I hope they sue! Sleezy place I would say away if I were you!!! BE WARNED....

naaaah – Formerly Tokio Lounge which I thought was a hole in the wall, well after it became Ecco, the hole got much smaller and darker.
Normally when club promoters opens a club they will stop promoting. Well the owner of this venues did not, in fact he spends more time promoting other venues than he does promoting this spot... I've never liked any of the promotion team and there has been alot. The owner changes promotion team so frequent its impossible to keep up.
The spot fell from grace super fast. I went there several times and never liked the venue. I think developed claustrophobia because of this spot even though I normally like small venues. Its a small venue designed like a big venue.... nothing about it says super club or intimate and exclusive, its almost like being stuck in the middle of no where.
Its one of the places I would avoid.

Maxim Party – I was lucky enough to get into the Maxim party at Ecco a few days ago! Ecco was the perfect space for this type of crowd! The only downfall was that it was extremely crowded.. mostly with middle age men following around the models! It was easy to forget the tightly packed walls with the amazing cocktail menu they were offering... I stuck with "The Perk" this combination of TyKu and strawberry guava... so delicious. I wish they offered that one more often!

Hello again!
today we have some great news. The generous people over at Motion Samples have uploaded quite a batch of super cool samples to splice. Motion Samples is a professional sample label, they dedicate themselves to making cd's full of finely crafted loops. If you like what you see from these guys on Splice, make sure you visit their website!
Click the image below to be taken to the splice page of the Motion Samples crew. There you will find some example songs (make sure you read the next blog post to see how you can easily use the samples) and a LOT of funky loops, riffs and total electronic awesomeness.
Hello all,
before we forget: happy newyear!! We hope 2008 brings you all you wanted in 2007 and didn't get
It's been a long time since we've blogged so, here's something we wanted to write about. We added a new feature where you can add all the sounds from one user, or all the sounds used in a song to your soundcase. This is particularly useful if you like the sounds from a user (and want to make a song from them) or if you'd like to use all the sounds from a song, but start from zero instead of remixing.
A picture is worth a thousand words so here's 2000 words worth:

Hello all! It's been quite a while since we've posted on our blog. Rest assured we are still here, although visibly a bit less active lately. Behind the scenes we are doing lot's of things, expect some interesting news in the relatively near future…
But, now for something completely different: some of you might already have noticed that the sequencer stopped working in Windows Vista with the latest update of the flash player. Well, it looks like Adobe broke the audio processing/creation system we were using, the system pioneered by André Michelle.
André wrote about the problem in Vista in one of his -rather technical- blog posts, you can read it on this page: http://blog.andre-michelle.com/2007/198/.
If anyone knows anyone at Adobe, please tell them about this blog post. Adobe can solve this whole problem with a flick of the wrist, the problem is that they haven't been listening to any of the flash+audio developers out there. Until there is either an update to the flash player that fixes this problem, or someone else finds another way to do what we're doing (and that is highly unlikely) please use Microsoft XP instead of Vista if you wish to use the sequencer…
Thanks for your continued support of Splice!!
- Bram
We rather enjoy all the unique and weird sounds people record using Splice. We get everything from secret confessions to shower singers to Spanish lessons and even occasionally some music. We thought we'd encourage this with a new contest. Here is how it's going to work:
Part One: Tell Us Who You Are
1. Record yourself saying your name. It can be your username, if you'd rather not people know your real name. Use an ultra-fabulous superhero name if you want. Just remember that Kenny Reynolds is already taken.
2. Tag your name recording with "MYNAME."
Part Two: Meet Your Neighbors
1. Ready to make some music? Search for other sounds tagged with MYNAME and create a song using the name of at least five of your fellow Splicers. (Really though, the more the merrier. This contest is about meeting new people.)
3. Tag your finished song with "NAMEGAME".
4. Your finished song does NOT have to include the loop you made yourself, but if you didn't contribute a name to the pool, you will not be eligible to win.
The Goodies
The winner will be judged based upon how many other users have marked it as a favorite. If your song has been favorited the most, you will be receiving a VS3251 Powered Audio System from Altec Lansing, so you can crank it up and bask in your own glory.
The winner will be decided at Midnight CST, Sunday October 7th, so finish early and bring your friends to cheer you on!
Hello, everyone! I wanted to share an updated tutorial for using the record tool. Whether you're rapping, singing, or telling a story, the record tool is the one of the best ways to get those sounds into your profile so you can share them easily with friends. Here is how:
1. Make sure you are logged in.
2. Go to your home page. Look next to your user photo for a menu option that says Record.
Clicking this will take you to the uploading and recording page. You can also access that page easily at any time by clicking the little microphone that appears just below the navigation bar on most pages. It looks like this:
3. Look towards the bottom of the page for the actual tool, and click it:
4. A window will pop up for you to allow Flash to access your microphone. You should select Allow.
5. Once you've done that, the record window will pop open. Just click the red button and start recording your sound!
6. When you've finished recording, just press stop, and the window will change a little. From here, you can listen to your recording, re-record, adjust your settings or save it. If you like your sound, just hit 'Save This Recording,' and you will be taken to the normal upload page, where you can name your sound, tag it and select license and privacy levels.
That's it! As lots of Splicers already know, recording is a lot of fun. I can't wait to hear what you've got to say!
I got a lovely email from Teru at CCMixter.org that some Splice music has been used on a Canadian radio show. The show plays on CBC Radio one and is called Spark. You can listen to the show here.
It's great to see more and more broadcasters recognizing the value of Creative Commons music, and especially great to see so many people from Splice on the list of contributors. Congratulations to all of you!
I don't know about your home, but here in Chicago the weather has definitely turned towards autumn, and of course, with this comes school. I have six nieces and nephews who have been lamenting about this to me for weeks now. Oh, the end of long, lazy days and the return to early mornings, paper bag lunches and …. HOMEWORK. But some people are getting really creative with their homework and are using Splice to get the job done.
For example, if you peek around over in things tagged with 'verano' you can find some bright stars practicing their Spanish. Our staff hails from five different countries, with English being our only common language, but Spanish is a VERY close second, so we highly approve. (Discutimos Splice en español aqui, por favor!)
And we've got a budding politician in the works with spliceuser2007, who has very cleverly used Splice to record an impassioned speech as to why she should be elected to student council. Great idea! Someone so enterprising SHOULD be in a position of responsibility. Good luck!
But the students shouldn't get to have all the fun! The Casa Grande Library has been using Splice forever to prepare their technology podcasts and information about their current programs. Librarians know a great resource when they see one. You should trust them.
If YOU are using Splice for your educational projects, we would love to hear about it. Better yet, we would REALLY love it if you'd stop over in the educator's forum to chat with each other. After all, that's how great ideas are born.
Hello everyone! I wanted to show you a quick tip that will help you better manage the mail you get from Splice, including how to turn it off entirely. We know that these days everyone feels like they're fighting a constant battle with their inbox, so we never send mail unless you tell us that it's ok. Here's how to edit your mail preferences:
1. From your home page, choose Account Settings from the side bar.
2. Scroll down a little bit until you hit the section for Mail Preferences. From here, you can choose to get the occasional newsletter, and how often you want to be notified regarding actions on your account. You can also choose WHICH actions to be notified about. Just choose what's best for you and hit submit at the bottom.
If you haven't verified your email yet, you won't be able to get anything from Splice at all, including password help, so make sure you do that! You can do it at the top of this same page and you only have to do it once.
Hopefully that will help those of you who do not wish to receive mail from us to better understand how to turn it off yourselves. You've got the power - don't be afraid to use it!
We've got a winner for the Your Voice, Your Choice contest. Actually, we've had a winner for a little while, but I wanted to be able to post the entry here in the blog and couldn't do so until our mp3s were back up and running, as they are now. As always, we had some really fun entries, but what's new this time is that I don't have to struggle with picking a winner this time! Thanks to the wonder of functional ratings, you guys got to to the hardest part for me and I have been happily demoted to 'just the messenger.' Yay!
Therefore, I am pleased to announce that our winner this time around is toddnrgi, for this song:
Todd is going to get a beautiful new surround sound system from Altec Lansing, who graciously continues to sponsor our contests and encourage great music everywhere.
Be sure to hear our runners up, too:
You can listen to all the contest entries here.
Thanks again to everyone for participating in this! If your favorite didn't win, be sure to bring some friends to help vote next time around. We'll have the next contest up shortly!

Jeff - this is a GREAT rule for everyone to keep in mind. Very easy to be in a rush to get going fast and start pulling out for the stroke too soon.
Fort, I am wondering if your head is dipped down in the brute force of your dolphin kick. This is hard to see or even feel if you aren't aware of it or watching from the side underwater.
Your head has to be straight on your spine as you pull-down.
I like to think there is a very subtle feeling of a lift of the chest as you are surfacing - but the head stays locked straight on the spine.
Watch the fast breaststrokers surface for the first stroke/breath. Chin is nicely tucked in...
I'm not a breaststoker - but I did just drop over a second off my 100 breast time this weekend.
Zero training for it - just a lot of chatting here about technique!
Awareness counts. Thanks guys.

Practically Speaking
Kyle and her husband moved to Brookfield in 1986. She became active in local politics and started blogging in 2004. Her focus is primarily on local issues but often includes state and national topics, too. Kyle looks at things from the taxpayers' perspective in a creative, yet down to earth way, addressing them from a practical point of view.
On Sept. 11th, my first thank you goes to God
Eleven years have passed since the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, and in those 11 years, our world has become a much more dangerous place: Iran is working on becoming a nuclear power, the Arab Spring is now controlling once tourist friendly Egypt, the entire middle east is in upheaval. Yet despite this increased unrest, our nation has been kept safe from additional terrorist attacks.
Today, Gov. Walker, Mayor Tom Barrett and other area officials gathered at the War Memorial to honor the Sept. 11 victims, which is appropriate. Similar gatherings all across our nation will occur today.
A September 11th radio ad this year samples Americans and what they plan to do to in remembrance of this day. One says they will say thanks to a firefighter, another a policeman, etc. Volunteering is another option. These are all well and good, but for me there is one glaring omission: thanking God for His blessing of protection.
As I wrote in 2008, reflecting on our Sept. 11th experience out in South Dakota, "Our nation held its collective breath, waiting for something else to happen after those first 4 plane crashes. Thank God, it didn't.
"But amazingly, we have been incident free...
"Almost every politician ends their speech with, God bless America. I know God has. May He continue to shed His grace on our nation.
God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!"
Middle East unrest: Romney? presidential, Obama? busy campaigning
On Sept. 11th, a statement on Obama's State Department website agreed with the U.S.Embassy in Cairo's 9/11 apology for "hurt Muslim feelings". Then violent protests sprang up at the embassies in Egypt and Libya, resulting in Ambassador Stevens' death (along with 3 others) in Libya.
A very Presidential Mitt Romney, rightly condemned the attacks on the U.S. Embassies in Egypt and Libya. He said, "I'm outraged by the attacks on American diplomatic missions in Libya and Egypt and by the death of an American consulate worker in Benghazi. It's disgraceful that the Obama Administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks."
Before dashing off to Las Vegas, at 10:43am, on Sept. 12th, the President made a statement, that was about as dynamic as a bowl of cold oatmeal. He included this curious statement: "Libyan security personnel fought back against the attackers alongside Americans. Libyans helped some of our diplomats find safety, and they carried Ambassador Stevens's body to the hospital, where we tragically learned that he had died."
In another story, it would seem it was the same Libyan security personnel who told the protesters where the officials were taken!
And where did Obama get that information that Libyans helped carry Stevens to the hospital? Because if you look at, Muslims Execute US Ambassador Christ Stevens, the pictures (graphic) depict a battered man being dragged, not an injured man being carried. The post also includes a very positive YouTube introducing us to Ambassador Stevens when he took his post. What a tragedy.
Now keep in mind there has been controversy swirling over whether or not Obama has been attending his 'Presidential Daily Brief' intelligence meetings. In that article, National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor didn't dispute the Govt. Accountability Institute's numbers that tabulated Obama's attendance record in the last 2 years at just 38%. For contrast, President George W. Bush "almost never missed his daily intelligence meeting".
The White House denies this accusation and says that if Obama doesn't attend the PDB, he at least reads the briefing book (crib sheet) every day. I think it is clear that with this latest Middle East unrest, Obama needs to stop just reading the Cliff Notes on intelligence briefings and meet face to face with those involved.
And speaking of face to face meetings, as our world moves closer to Armageddon, why is it our President Obama has no time to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, our only true ally in the Middle East? He has time to do a radio interview with a hip-hopper in Florida, fly off to Las Vegas for a big fundraiser (what ever happened to avoiding Las Vegas?), or make plans to do the David Letterman show?
The Middle East is a volatile region, made even more volatile by Obama administration policies: "The Obama administration has played a central role in overthrowing U.S.-aligned regimes and replacing them with regimes that are hostile to the U.S. and its strategic interests".
You might say some of Obama's policies' chickens are coming home to roost.
Remember Hillary Clinton giddily proclaiming that in Libya, We came, we saw, he [Gaddafi] died? And in Egypt, Obama supported the Arab Spring revolt. Then in August, after the new regime got rid of Hosni Mubarak, opponents (some Christian), who were against the U.S. supported Morsi, were crucified by the Arab Spring 'Brotherhood'.
Morsi has also refused to condemn Tuesday's 9/11 Cairo Embassy attack.
And let's not make the mistake of thinking this violence is all about a movie. Some of the protesters yelled, "'Obama! Obama! We are all Osama!' went one chant, referring to Osama bin Laden, the late head of Al Qaeda" That ire was addressed directly to Obama. Why? Possibly because killing Osama was touted 20+ times at the DNC convention?
Anti-American violence is now spreading to other counties in the Middle East, and our President is too busy being the Campaigner in Chief, hip-hopping around the country, to be Commander in Chief.
At least there is one candidate in the 2012 election acting Presidential: Mitt Romney.

Still time to see 2016: Obama's America
Can't figure out why President Obama is spending us into oblivion? or apologizing for America's greatness in the world? What about refusing to let American oil companies drill offshore but loans money to Brazil to drill there? How about why he doesn't help out his half brother George in Kenya?
Well, if you go see Dinesh D'Souza's documentary movie 2016: Obama's America, these and other perplexing questions about why Obama does what he does will all make sense. Spoiler Alert: One reason is Obama's hatred of colonialism.
Though I rarely see a movie (unless it's at the budget theater), I did go see the movie at the AMC Mayfair Mall 18 theater, and it was well worth the $6 early admission price. The movie is still here in the Milwaukee area and I urge you to see it whether you are a Conservative, Republican, Independent or Democrat.
Because I am rather a news junkie, I was at least familiar with much of the information presented. However, D'Sousa skillfully weaves all these facts and background stories together into a tapestry that clearly reveals just why Obama believes "No world order that elevates one nation or group of people over another will succeed..." Why he is willing that America no longer have nuclear preeminence and why a nuclear Iran isn't a concern. The interview with half brother George was particularly telling.
In light of this weeks spreading Middle East unrest, the map of the United Arab States now becomes all the more chilling.
The movie isn't an emotionally charged hit piece, but rather a systematic, logical account of Obama's life that illustrates why he doesn't believe in American exceptionalism or even desire that America be the best in the world. It was a real eye-opener.
Stop Tom Barrett's Folly Trolley at Streetcar Named Disaster rally: Sept. 18, 2012
Milwaukee Alderman Bob Donavan, along with the MacIver Institute and Americans for Prosperity are holding a rally against Milwaukee's latest huge waste of money project, the Milwaukee Streetcar. I often refer to it as Barrett's Folly Trolley. Most know it as A Streetcar Named Disaster. Whatever you choose to call it, it is a very expensive, unnecessary project.
The purpose of the rally is to pressure the Milwaukee to put the 2 mile long downtown streetcar project on a binding referendum, so voters can have a say as to whether or not we want to pay for this.
There is also an online petition for you to sign. Because all of us in the southeast Wisconsin will be paying higher WE Energies bills to cover the $55+ million to relocate the utility lines, you DO NOT need to be a Milwaukee County resident to sign. AT&T customers will be paying more too. Sign here.
Attend the rally if you can. A strong showing is needed to send Mayor Tom Barrett and the Milwaukee Common Council an unmistakable message: WE DON"T WANT THIS BOONDOGGLE.
The rally will be held at Serb Hall from 5pm to 7pm, though Alderman Bob Donovan* said the doors would be open at 4pm and probably go past 7pm. Alderman Donovan will be addressing other issues besides the streetcar, but stopping the streetcar is the main focus.
Estimates are that the very short streetcar line will cost $64 million plus the utility relocation costs of at least $55 million. I have heard a figure of about $120 million in all. $3 million of that is just to operate the thing for one year. And remember all this money is just to build a 2 mile line!
Some of this money is Federal Money, some is local. Regardless of where it comes from, we cannot afford this. And to top it all off, I think we can be sure if this 2 mile leg is built, more will follow, just like the Milwaukee to Madison train project that Gov. Walker stopped was just the 1st installment. So speak up!
Serb Hall is located at 5101 West Oklahoma Avenue Milwaukee, WI 53219

"Are you better off than you were 4 years ago?"
Last September, I had the privilege of visiting the Reagan Library in California. At the time I snapped this picture, I answered his question with a resounding, NO. Little did I know how much worse off our country and the world would be in the span of just one year.
Most think of this question in terms of the economy. After all, Reagan was running against President Jimmy Carter. But there was also the Iran hostage crisis hanging over our country like a national pall. So Foreign Policy was also a concern.
If we go back to 2008, our country would be about $10.6 trillion in debt, instead of the $16+ trillion we're at now. Obama increased it by 50% in less than 4 years! That works out to $111,414 per taxpayer and counting. And Obama was the one, who in Feb. 2009, pledged he would cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term!
As Obama inferred in his 2009 pledge, the interest on the debt would increasingly become unmanageable. How unmanageable? Take a look at this: Brother, Can You Spare a Trillion?
To make matters worse, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke embarked on QE3 to stimulate Obama's flagging economy, at the rate of $40 billion a month, for the election. (QE3 is the 3rd round of quantitative easing: a fancy term for pumping up the money supply or buying our own debt) This bit of insanity earned us another downgrade to our already downgraded credit rating from AA to AA-.
There are so many other aspects of this question to consider besides the economy. There is the disdain and disregard of our Constitution by our president, the bypassing congress by executive order, the loss of liberties, etc. And then, like the Carter years, the weak, apologetic tone of our foreign policy.
So what do you say to Ronald Reagan's question? And what are you going to do about it on November 6th?
