Home Depot Fires Cashier for Wearing Patriotic Button

~ Pharmer

Trevor Keezor, a cashier at Home Depot was fired for wearing an “One Nation under God” button. This occurred after wearing it at work for a year, and shortly after he took up reading a bible at lunch break.
By contrast, Home Depot has shown itself to be much more friendly towards the display of accessories showing pro-gay sentiment, and this has inspired the AFA to initiate a boycott of the company.

Yes We Can’t!

~ Pharmer

Just a few examples of Obama Administration morphing into Yes we Can’t mode right after election:
Huge ice storm and freezing people in Kentucky? Sorry, Governor Beshear (who called Obama for help), too busy with the superbowl party.
Floods in Fargo, N Dakota and Nashville, TN regions — a near media blackout and little federal help, not the multi-year whine fest accorded to New Orleans.
The Oil Spill? BP stopped it despite the government hampering of repair, and the states took care of their own shores to the extent the feds would allow it.
Illegal Immigration? No, Obama and big Sis Napolitano say they can’t close the borders, it’s impossible.
Fomer Sen.Ted Steven’s plane goes down in Alaska? The feds could not get to the plane due to severe weather, but reported locals on the scene assisting the survivors. A commercial helicopter had dropped a medical team to the site, while the coast guard and national guard waited for the weather to clear.

Don’t you think the federal response to calamities would have been better with those Alaskans running the show?

There will be, in the next two elections, a test to see if pinching off federal disaster and law enforcement assistance to red states will make them more inclined to vote for democrats in the future.

Call a Waaaambulance

First watch Rosie ODonnell tell us that marriage is an institution for expressing defiance, spite, or anger.  Listen up right Here and think about whether gay marriage is a good idea or just more Jerry-Springer-style entertainment for the rest of us.

It’s combo newsflash time, as the hard drive wore itself out from overuse, and a transplant is required. Pharmer is limping through the weekend on some really slow equipment. Call a Waaaaaaaambulance!

One more update of significance… the Portland area (Multnomah County) governmental authorities have been embarrassed into allowing little 7 year old, Julie Murphy have her lemonade stand.

Flush the Republicans Who Confirmed the Kagan Appointment to Supreme Court

~ Pharmer

These Republican Senators confirmed Elena Kagan for her solicitor general post in 2009: Tom Coburn (Okla.), Susan Collins (Maine), Judd Gregg (N.H.), Orrin Hatch (Utah), Jon Kyl (Ariz.), Richard Lugar (Ind.) and Olympia Snowe (Maine) casting votes in her favor.

These are the five Republicans who confirmed Kagan’s appointment to the Supreme Court: Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe of Maine, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Richard Lugar of Indiana and Judd Gregg of New Hampshire.   Please send money for the primary elections of their opponents when the time comes.

Judd Gregg is said to be retiring, and the other four are not yet up for reelection in 2010.

Richard Lugar’s mental decline  has rendered him unfit for service as a Republican.

Portland Oregon Heath Inspectors Shut Down 7 Year Old Girl’s Lemonade Stand

Portland lemonade stand runs into health inspectors, needs $120 license to operate | OregonLive.com.

Very diligent health inspectors in Portland enforced the requirement that temporary restaurants obtain a 120 dollar license to operate, and closed down little Julie Murphy’s lemonade stand.

A REMINDER to aid in keeping this in perspective…… this is the city which only has two vice squad employees and a burgeoning sex slavery industry.  Would there be a response from the city of Portland if  the little girl was being sold, rather than lemonade?

Perhaps Portland’s health department should have bigger fish  to fry……..

Portland:  America’s Perineum.

44 – Palin: Obama lacks ‘the cojones’ to tackle immigration.

Plain spoken Palin draws fans  from among the real Americans with her blunt manner of self expression.

Sarah  is not the first one to have questioned the male endowment of the president. James Carville had suggested that Hillary surpassed Obama in this area, and Evan Bayh had referenced the praise for Hillary’s greater ‘testicular fortitude’ given by a steel worker’s union official in Indiana during the Democratic primaries in 2008.   Rush and crew are credited for uncovering those tidbits in a timely manner.  Rush  suggested  blaming  the apparent presidential problem on Rev. Jesse Jackson, who had expressed a desire to perform unauthorized surgery into a live microphone at FOX.

The male hormone output  of the president is  not impressive, and  evidence suggests that the incidental testosterone issued from the adrenals and ovaries  of  the Lady Conservatives is  much  greater.

We suspect that data obtained from vernier caliper measurements  would bring further evidence of the president’s meager endowment, but certainly have no interest in the work of acquisition.

Is there anyone with sufficient curiosity to review and research the correlation of gonad size and testosterone production?  The federal government has funded stranger studies 😉

While pondering the academic possibilities using federal STIMULUS, watch Sarah telling it like it is.

Obamacare_Chart.pdf application/pdf Object.

The above linked representation is partial, because the whole mess could not be expressed on a single chart, and this is said to represent about a third of it.

Some of what is featured in the Obamacare chart , (quoted from the presentation on Rep. Brady’s site) :

  • $569 billion in higher taxes;
  • $529 billion in cuts to Medicare;
  • swelling of the ranks of Medicaid by 16 million;
  • 17 major insurance mandates; and
  • the creation of two new bureaucracies with powers to impose future rationing: the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute and the Independent Payments Advisory Board.
