OT: SUPER BOWL

From a friend:

“Just to let everybody know that newly elected Pennsylvania Sen.Pat Toomey is going to be watching the Superbowl at the White House today, along with that sleazebag Bob Casey and a variety of other politicans of both parties from PA and Wisconsin. I have nightmares of what happened two years ago when Arlen Specter attended the White House Superbowl party and agreed to be the deciding vote for the stimulus. What will happen this time?”

Re: Pic's I Took Today

Guten Morgen CW!!

Yea, go figure.....I did note this morning, that if you line up all the cars in the correct parking spots according to the lines, you could only fit eight cars in the lot. This morning, there were 10 cars, so maybe the Deutsch know a little something more than we do??

<Grin>!!

What is the deal with the parking at the park Keith? Some are parked at an angle and some are not. Looks like the parking lot of Moe's Tavern (down the road) on taco night.

Subject: Pic's I Took Today

It was kalt (cold) and nasty this morning, so I didn't get an early start…..Instead, I took a few pics, from my balcony:

This was sticking my cam out the balcony ledge….Good view of "The Dom"; (The "Cathedral of Köln");

Da Ride….It's a Renault SomethinOrOther…..Good till the end of February…..We'll see what happens, but no question, "Keithie Needs A Ride" while in the Fatherland…..

This is directly across the street from me, it's a park, and I think it will be nice during the spring/summer….If I am here!! I think my Deutsch neighbors need to be introduced to a "pig pickin' "!!

(As a side note, the graffiti is bad in Köln….It's all over!)

Talk Soon!!!

Re: Bush-Appointed Federal Judge Tosses Out Challenge To Health Reform

This is actually an intersting perspective, however I surmise that the writer is misplaced on several issues....First, when the riter states that there have been an overwhelming majority of judges who have tossed challenges to the socialized medicine legislation based on Standing; to date, nothing of the sort has happened.

The write is correct in once sense, "Standing" is a major hurdle to overcome, and the Supremes have been known to look harshly on citizens (e.g.; individuals) who bring forth claims that challenge some issue and the premise is what "may" happen; and/or some general purported harm to a class of people or individuals. There are a number of decisions that have ruled accordingly, and been summarily dismissed.

What the writer misses here, is that the plaintiffs are States; representing their citizenry; and in general, claiming that the citizenry of their respective state will be harmed if the law is enacted. This is a much different premise than what the writer is attempting to convey, and he misses the crux of the lawsuit.

In my humble opinion, this law does'nt have a snowball's chance in Hell of surviving, at least in its current form.

RE: Ronald Reagan: An Autopsy

“A political legacy is not a prescription for a set of policies; it is a set of values and principles. The challenge for today's leaders is not so much hewing to what Reagan did in the 1980s, but figuring out where he might lead in the 21st century.”

Subject: Re: Ronald Reagan: An Autopsy

Let me make sure this is coming from someone that I have a good bit of respect for, and not a Moonbat:

Michael, you cut and paste a nasty, hateful (more importantly) untruthful article from some Moonbat, and you are expecting me to do what?

Address your cut and paste article from Lew Rockwell, a known Anarchist, (who I tend to believe is a communist in disguise, but I digrress)

No, I will not address your, "cut and pastes" any longer. I have spent hours addressing them previously, with no response from you when I point out the fallacies.

You start talking, and demonstrate why it is that you believe Ronald Reagan was a (and I quote) "Dismal....Concentration Camp" story.

This article in and of itself ought to turn the light bulb on for you, that Lew Rockwell is a hack....

Reagan’s Phony Revolution

Writes David Stockman:

Thanks for reprinting Murray Rothbard’s classic take-down of the “Reagan Revolution.” With the passage of time, the mythology only gets amplifiedso people need to be reminded about the truth. I took a modest crack at this in the attached interview in which I reminded readers that the Reagan Revolution was a Lincoln Day Dinner speech! It never actually happened in the real world of fiscal policy. And as you might recall, program after program was saved by stalwart conservatives like Jesse Helms, Ed Meese, etc.
