Democrats, the party of Yesterday. . .

Looks like the Dems new ad is all Bush. . . .

Seems they have forgotten he is not in charge any more. . . . .

more from CNN here

I hope they keep this up, it will be hard for even the Republicans to screw up this election if the Dems keep rolling out Bush crap. . . .

Some folks want to be MORE equal than others

This story makes me sick.  Someone should tell her to shut the F up.

This woman has worked for Disney for a few years, and knew what the dress code was to work there.  Now she is suing them because she is Muslim and wants to wear her head scarf.  I have family that worked for them.  They make it very clear before you join what the rules are including dress code.  You don't like them don't take the job.  It is that simple.

Sorry, this should be tossed out of court and the judge should laugh at her when he does it.

Folks, Disney is a PRIVATE company and you work for them by CHOICE and you know the rules when you join.  You don't like them you can go work someplace else.  You have NO RIGHT to tell Disney or any other private company what they can have as a dress code for things like this. 

I really don't see how she can dare to suddenly want to sue them after two years of not wearing it.  She did fine for two years what happened?  I think she finally smelled money and figured she would try for some.

Lets get this straight folks.  The US Constitution is between the GOVERNMENT and the PEOPLE.  It does not say anything about what anyone else can or can not do.  Private business can legally do what it wants.  You don't like it then don't patronize them or work for them.  If enough folks agree with you then they will change or let them go out of business.

So all I can tell this person is congrats on your new citizenship.  Learn to deal with life.  Suck it up like the rest of us or work someplace else or go back to where you came from.  We don't need more whiners here.

Latest builds

Here are a few photos of the latest build.  The Cobra is not the best looking but was the only 1/48 one I could find. . ..

First we will start with the Mosquito - a plywood bomber/recon aircraft. . ..

Next we have the Komet - the first rocket fighter.  Had a good 10 minuets or so of powered flight. . . . but the fastest thing in the sky for that 10 minutes.

And the Cobra - early model.  Not the best for details but they don't make many of these kits so they are hard to find in 1/48 scale

Biden puts foot in mouth again

CNN it telling us not to worry, Biden says the Dems will keep the House and Senate. . . .  I wonder where he gets the drugs?

With all the damage they have done in Congress with Dem control for the last 4 years, and now with Obama spending like a drunken sailor (my apologies to drunken sailors) he actually thinks they will win?

HOW???

Folks on both sides are pissed off at the growth of government.  They are out of work and see no end to this recession (and it is a depression folks face it).  They have no answer but to spend more of the money you don't have to "fix it" which means pay off their buddies.

I think November will be quite the wake up for them. . . . I hope they stay fat dumb and happy until then, it will make voting them out much easier. . .

Blogger issues

Got some of the folks I met at the latest blogger shoot added to the rolls but I can't get Mopar or Zercool on to the list.  Blogger is having issues I think and I will keep trying but it was good to meet you all!

Sales Tax Holiday

Woke up this morning to the news folks all patting the Governor on the back for our MA sales tax holiday weekend.  It is an election year, so we had the holiday this year that we could not afford last year they tell us.  Heck, we can't afford it this year according to the state budget but they need the votes don't they.

Anyway they are all out there telling us how we boosted sales in all these stores, and saved our 6.25% sales tax.

Well it is a good  thing they don't push the facts.  Things I want to see before I call this anything but smoke and mirrors -

1 - Show me how we increased sales and didn't just pull them in or put them off for a few weeks to buy on this weekend instead of last week or next week when we would have to pay a tax.

2 - Show me how much we increased sales along the NH border where they don't have a sales tax all year if they drive to NH.

This is all BS.  Sales will be great this weekend.  I bet sales sucked last week and will for the next few weeks.  This kind of game does not create sales, it just condenses when they are made.  Folks are not buying anything they would not have bought anyway folks, they are just all doing it on the same weekend so they get the break.

I know we didn't buy anything we would not have bought anyway over the next few weeks for the kids to go to school.

All smoke and mirrors to buy votes for the fools on Beacon Hill.  Just like the Fed auto and home sales programs, when it is over the market will slump and make up for it.  If you look at sales over the month or months around this event to smooth the numbers you won't see any changes.

So go out and shop, and if you buy into they hype all I can tell you is "baaa baaa"

For the rest of us, go, buy, and vote them out in November.

Obama DOES want your guns

Saw THIS over at Say Uncles. . ..

What it all boils down to is this.  South Korea wants to sell a bunch of their M1 Garands and Carbines to the US civilians.  US shooters want the guns.  Obama's administration has put up roadblocks to prevent the sales.

These guns are part of our history, given to the Koreans after the war to help them defend themselves.  They don't need them and could use the money from selling them to us.  Many collectors and shooters here would be glad to buy one or more of these historic guns, , ,   Big Brother Obama says no.

SO next time you hear the BS that Obama does not want to take your guns remember this story.  He won't move at them moment because he fears the gun lobby and thinks he has a chance to get re-elected.  He can prevent many of us from getting  a gun we would love to own, a piece of American history and he is doing it.

If God help us he does get re-elected you can bet he will do all he can to not only prevent you from getting a gun, he will take what you have too.

Kid Fun

Well just got the youngest to bed.  I kept saying bed?  and he would say bed and move closer to the stairs.  Once I said OK, bed.  Well, that was not good enough. . . he wanted a ride to bed so he climbed up on the couch and gets on my back with his arms around my neck.  He then proudly announces "backpack on" and sits there waiting for me to move. 

And yes, he got his ride up to bed. . . .

What can I say, he is 3 and knows what he wants. . . .

Hiroshima

65 years ago today man entered the age of atomic war. . . .

 

And Hiroshima became the first target in the quest to end the war in the Pacific.  It was something that had to be done to end a long and bloody war and I say we were right in doing it.  Compare one city (ok, two) to the millions on both sides along with the massive destruction of Japan if we had invaded. . . .

 

Here is to remembering all those on both sides that day. . . . May we never see another like it.

Kagan on the SCOTUS

Not much to say, it is a clean wash if you ask me.  We lost one socialist and gained a new one.  She will not support our Constitution and will help the Fed limit our rights.

I am disappointed that the Republicans did not work harder to stop this. . . . .
