HOW TO BECOME A SOUTH AMERICAN BANANA REPUBLIC…..

If you vote for ANYONE on the left, you’re a complete idiot!!  We’ve been warned, folks - there’s no room for excuses like “I didn’t know…..”

ENGLAND LEGALIZES POLYGAMY!!

I know you’re not prepared to believe it…..but read it and weep.

Husbands with multiple wives have been given the go-ahead to claim extra welfare benefits following a year-long Government review, The Sunday Telegraph can reveal.

Even though bigamy is a crime in Britain, the decision by ministers means that polygamous marriages can now be recognised formally by the state, so long as the weddings took place in countries where the arrangement is legal.

OUR PROSECUTORS HAVE GONE ‘WAY OVER THE LINE…...

We need a justice system in order that the weak are protected against the strong.  In order to live in a reasonably safe society, we give a great deal of power to the prosecutors.  These offices need to be staffed by people who are sane; who have some sense of proportion; who use common sense and make reasonable distinctions.  Ask yourself about this case…..

AL GORE IS BEING CRITICIZED FOR JETTING AROUND THE WORLD…..

And other environmental alarmists are hearing the same kind of thing…...if global warming really is a crisis situation, how come you’re not riding the train?  Or appearing at all these European meetings via tele-conference?  What makes it reasonable that YOU should get a pass for emitting enormous quantities of CO2 in order to get the word out that WE need to change our lifestyle in order to minimize CO2 emissions?

The answer now being given is that they are engaging in “carbon offsetting”, which means they’re planting trees on their property sufficient to absorb the amount of carbon dioxide produced by their latest jet trip.  Or that they’re paying the money so that the trees needed are planted over in Africa somewhere.  Or, if they’re feeling capitalistic, that they’ve bought up “carbon credits” from someone (or some corporation) that WAS going to emit the CO2, but now cannot.  In any case, the argument is that they are arranging things so that the lifestyle they prefer to go right on living is “carbon-neutral”.....and their environmental righteousness is preserved.

Someone has heard about this, and decided that it’s an idea whose time has come…..and it needs to be extended.

HAPPY 2007—A NEW YEAR, A NEW SIGN OF THE APOCALYPSE!

Your public library could soon become the equivalent of any old franchised bookstore, except it will be tax-supported!

Maybe this doesn’t bother you…...but if libraries are simply a place where you can borrow Oprah’s latest recommendation, and get your DVD movies for free, rather than pay for them at Blockbuster, where will a student “accidentally” find Hemingway, or get hooked by Poe? 

As far as I can see, if essentially the public library is moving toward a model in which they’ll just doing what the market does, only with a subsidy from the taxpayers, then they ought to be cut loose to make it (or not) on their own.

LATEST SIGN OF THE APOCALYPSE…..

“10 is the new 15” is the headline.

...child development experts say that physical and behavioral changes that would have been typical of teenagers decades ago are now common among “tweens” - kids ages 8 to 12.

I can believe the behavioral changes, but I need to see actual data for the physical - it reads a bit like an attempt by the adults to avoid responsibility for depriving their kids of their childhood.

Some of them are going on “dates” and talking on their own cell phones. They listen to sexually charged pop music, play mature-rated video games and spend time gossiping on MySpace. And more girls are wearing makeup and clothing that some consider beyond their years.
