How does THIS make sense!?

Okay, in a country where you cannot even get an asprin from the school nurse without a parent's permission, how in the world does it make sense for a school to hand out The Pill, and not only not tell the parents, but not tell the state?


Okay, a little primer on current federal laws on sex. If a child comes in for the pill, it must be reported. Why? Because if a child is on the pill, they are more than likely having sex. And all persons under the age of 18 who have sex must be reported. Second, like I said above, it is against the law for a student to receive an aspirin without parental consent, so thus, this should be illegal.

So, here is what I think. If you want to authorize your child to start having sex in middle school, and thus scar them emotionally later on as they give away more and more of themselves, then fine. But if you have your child's best interest at heart, and want to keep them from emotional trouble later on, then prevent this permission from being given out, and protect your child.

Once again, Harry Potter is in the news

Before I begin, no, I will not be talking about the latest revelation from J.K. Rowling. This is about Censorship.

Apparently, a Catholic School in Massachusetts has decided that to protect the "Weak-Minded," the principal is going to remove the books from the school library.

Well, I would not be shocked by this. "Banned in Boston" is a common selling point on books, and now, it can be added to the Harry Potter series as well.

Now, while I applaud the Rev. Ron Barker for trying to keep witchcraft out of the hands of the children, most of those reading these books are sixth graders, and are old enough to know that it is not real. If he would really like to make a difference, make An Exorcist Tells His Story and An Exorcist: More Stories part of the required reading list. Both are by Fr. Gabrielle Amorth, and are well written.

Please, do not ban the books, there are better ways to protect the children.

Oklahoma City vs. New York City

There have been two terrorist events that have been seared into the minds of the populous of our nation, the events that took place at the Federal Building in Oklahoma City and the events that caused the collapse of the World Trade Center. But which one would cause the larger ripple in the modern world?

In my opinion, I would have to say that a second Oklahoma City would cause the most psychological damage. This might not make sense, after all, OKC had a smaller death rate, and did not cause a total collapse of the building. On the other hand, 9/11 resulted in thousands of death, the collapse of several buildings, and changed the mind-scape of the country.

So why did I say that a second OKC would cause more damage? Because we are talking about a small attack deep in the heartland of the US of A.

Think about it like this, in the United States, those who live on the coast know that they are vulnerable to an attack, maybe not on the conscious level, but they do still know. However, most of the people who live in the Midwest have a feeling of safety. Why? Because they are in the center of our country, and they do not get the same feeling of insecurity.

So what else is there to target? Many things. For one is the Sears Building, one of the tallest buildings in the world, and a center for economic activity in this nation. Secondly, there is the Chicago Board of Trade. For those of you who do not read the business page of the paper every day, the Chicago Board of Trade is the center of commodities trading in our country. Should it be targeted, the price of food would skyrocket.

So, if any government employees happen to be reading this, please look into the protection of the Board of Trade, after all, Hamas and Islamic Jihad both have cells in Chicago that are STILL on the loose.

SCHIP and the lack of Honesty

Senator McCaskill, wake up

You and the rest of your overpaid, over-fed pompous bloviators can no longer pull the wool over our eyes. And this SCHIP fiasco on your part is the final straw. The SCHIP bull-S**t that you have peddled on our un-educated dumb masses needs to end.

What the president proposed, that we require 95% of the Poor class to be insured before we even think about luring the currently insured away from the system that is serving us well.

McCaskill, you spoke of uninsured families having to take their kids to the Emergency Room, though this will not change with the expansion that you proposed. Why? Easy, because all you are going to see will be those currently benefiting from private insurance moving over to the government for their healthcare coverage, and we will see Hospitals turning into the freaking DMV for those of us who actually have the means to pay for ourselves.

Why is it, that you are trying to carry on this so-called War on the Individual. For some reason, the Democratic Leadership has decided to classify Individualism among Racism and Intolerance.
For a reason I have yet to fathom, the Democrats have decided to toe the Facist line, and remove the Individual in favor of the Many.

"When will the world learn that a million men are of no importance compared with one man." -Henry David Thoreau

More on this topic tomorrow when I cool down to provide a less angry look at Senator Kennedy's "War on the Individual."

How the "Righteous" have fallen

In the immortal words of Ricky Ricardo, "Hillary, you got some splanin' to do"

Just what is she in trouble for this time? It would seem that she has been spying on her rivals to the throne since 1992.

In the recent book, Her Way, two Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalists for the New York Times, Don Van Natta Jr. and Jeff Gerth where quoted as saying the following.

“Hillary’s defense activities ranged from the inspirational to the microscopic to the down and dirty. She received memos about the status of various press inquiries; she vetted senior campaign aides; and she listened to a secretly recorded audiotape of a phone conversation of Clinton critics plotting their next attack.

“The tape contained discussions of another woman who might surface with allegations about an affair with Bill,” Gerth and Van Natta wrote in reference to Clinton’s husband, former President Bill Clinton. “Bill’s supporters monitored frequencies used by cell phones, and the tape was made during one of those monitoring sessions.”

However, it gets better and better.

Gerth told The Hill that he learned of the incident in 2006 when he interviewed a former campaign aide present at the tape playing. He has not revealed the aide’s identity. Clinton’s campaign has not disputed any facts reported in the final version of his book, which became public this spring, he said.

“It hasn’t been challenged,” said Gerth. “There hasn’t been one fact in the book that’s been challenged.”

And, as if you didn't already know this, the reporting paper says that it was illegal to intercept cell phones in 1992. That is going to get filed in the "Duh" category.

Oh, the hits keep coming and it just keeps getting better and better.

Clinton’s chief political strategist, Mark Penn, became embroiled recently in a controversy over intercepted electronic communications. Mitchell Markel, a former vice president at Penn’s firm, Penn, Schoen & Berland, filed a lawsuit against Penn accusing him of intercepting e-mail. Markel claimed that the firm illegally monitored messages sent from his BlackBerry after he joined another company.

Goodbye Hillary, please don't let the door miss you on the way out.
