The Primaries Are Now a Formality

If you liked the leftist assault against Palin, just wait. The yet to be exposed weakness of Romney is the touchy subject of religion. The left will turn over Mormon rocks and find a vast wasteland of doctrinal weeds. On the strength of logical gymnastics, Romney thinks he'll one day be a god on another planet ! Children of god grow up to be gods like Dad, don't they? Celestial marriage wil be a fun topic too. Unrequested baptim for your dead relatives is a nice touch. Do a search about what Mormons believe and your socks will be shocked off your feet. His "wierd cult" will be separated from Chrisitanity on the upside and "Bam will remain in office on the disasterous down side.

"If you liked the leftist assault against Palin..." Damn truth. Why does it have to have such a liberal bias? Why can't we all just convert to truthiness and immediately put all this Republican unpleasantness such as graft, corruption, ignorance and stupidity behind us so the right can get back to attacking people for their religion? The 1st Amendment be damned!
P. S. It's spelled "w-e-i-r-d", "C-h-r-i-s-t-i-a-n-i-t-y" and "d-i-s-a-s-t-r-o-u-s". I suppose correct spelling also has a liberal bias.
True, there are still a few Palin dead-enders who can't get it through their titanium skulls that Palin is simply more interested in making money than in being President and who don't want Mitt Romney in the Oval Office simply because of his ersatz, pod person version of Christianity.
But the NY Times is essentially calling it for Romney because he's poised to get only his second victory in this endless Republican primary season that's taken up only slightly less time than the Laurentide ice sheet that swept down North America.
Maybe the liberal Gray Lady hates the Democratic electoral process as much as the Republican Party or maybe they're as fed up as we with the endless miniseries of the DSM IV (aka the Republican debates). But while television still likes competitive horse races, they also want a clear-cut winner before the race is even over. It's like calling the winner of the Boston Marathon even before the runners get to Heartbreak Hill.
And that's not really surprising considering these post-Clinton United States have pushed the primary season almost back into non-election years to the point of violating state law (as in Florida in the 2008 elections). We're the kind of country that wants results now. Books are routinely pulled off the shelves and sent back to the publisher's shredders if they don't hit the ground running no matter how little publicity they get and the success of a movie is preordained even before its opening weekend is over. Yuppies play classical music to their fetuses, half expecting them to be born with a fucking conductor's baton in their hands.
And, by the dodgy wisdom of push and straw polls, we've decided, yet again, that Mitt Romney should be the Republican nominee. A Romneynation is a zombie narrative that simply will not die like the Spider Man musical that's the perfect delineation of Murphy's Law. But like Peter Parker's Broadway debut, never underestimate the stubborn power of a few rich people who pour millions into a campaign in our post-Citizen's United country.

That's why we should pay as much attention to mob boss and casino mogul Sheldon Adelson as we do to the re-anointed Romney. As Rachel Maddow tells us, Adelson has such pull in the Nevada GOP that he actually got the state GOP to rewrite the laws for him and a few hundred Nevada Jews so they can still caucus in Clark County right after this Saturday's Sabbath and, even better, to do so in a center named after Adelson himself. And if that fact alone doesn't point to how much more corrupt campaign finance is thanks to Citizen's United, nothing does. The only way Romney could outdo that is by moving his national campaign headquarters to Paul Singer's boardroom.
Adelson has decided that Newt Gingrich would be friendlier to his gambling empire than Mitt Romney, a man who never met a
As of November last year, Florida's unemployment rate stood at exactly 10%, about one and a half percentage points higher than the then national rate of about 8.5%.
Maybe Florida Republicans are left cold by Gingrich wanting to turn their kids into janitors and maybe they've long since made the Adelson/Gingrich connection and have embraced Romney's stiff body as they try to struggle against already-charted waters as in 2008 (It's both amusing and troubling that for these past few years neither party has been able to field a candidate worth voting for for quite some time, as if, I dunno, shadowy money men have decided what's best for them and maybe, incidentally, us.).
Either way, the MSM, led by the NY Times have decided along with a reanimated Romney, that the caucus and primary season is over and that the vulture is in after the GOP took the enormous pains to extend it throughout almost all of this election year. It doesn't matter that Romney is 1-2 thus far. Paul Singer's own vulture bucks have spoken louder than Adelson's mob casino money.
And we should thank whatever God we pray to for men like Sheldon Adelson. Because as long as Adelson looks upon Newt Gingrich as a made man, Gingrich will stay in the race and split the Republican vote in spite of the stupendously stupid NY Times holding up Romney's hand for the second time. As in South Carolina, the people, albeit Republican lunatics who boo war veterans and call for hypothetical sick people to die, will once again confound the media pundits who've already declared a winner for the sake of ratings and circulation. And, for me and even moreso than the avalanche of malapropisms, that's by far the most fun this GOP primary season holds.

Boy, 10, arrested in Burbank for pointing gun at woman
CBSLosAngeles -BURBANK (CBS) — A 10-year-old boy was arrested Sunday after reportedly pointing a toy gun at a woman who believed it was a real weapon.
The boy knocked on the front door of the woman’s house and allegedly pointed the plastic gun at a 67-year-old woman who answered the door, according to the Burbank Leader. The boy picked the house because the woman’s grandson reportedly beat up his friend at school, Burbank police Lt. John Dilibert told the paper.
The boy yelled “you suck” at the woman while pointing the gun at her, then running away, Dilibert said.

Cooperative defendant draws 15-year term
By Craig Kapitan - Express-NewsA San Antonio man whose testimony at his two co-defendants' murder trials helped prosecutors obtain 144 years in combined sentences received his own punishment Monday.
Dominque Lenzy, 25, was ordered by state District Judge Juanita Vasquez-Gardner to serve 15 years in prison for a reduced charge of aggravated assault connected to the July 2009 shooting death of Jimmy Arizah Wilson, 33. He was killed outside a Northeast Side apartment complex.
It was the maximum sentence allowable under a plea agreement reached with prosecutors. Lenzy asked the judge for deferred adjudication probation.

Mexico cops nab suspect in 75 drug cartel killings
Porfirio Ibarra - Associated PressMONTERREY, Mexico (AP) — Police in northern Mexico have captured an alleged member of the Zetas drug gang who confessed to killing at least 75 people, including many who were pulled off buses, authorities said Monday.
Enrique Elizondo Flores told investigators 36 of his victims were bus passengers traveling through the town of Cerralvo, near the border with Texas, said Nuevo Leon state security spokesman Jorge Domene.
Elizondo was detained Jan. 20 in the town of Salinas Victoria, but authorities delayed announcing his arrest so they could verify details of his confession, state Attorney General Adrian de la Garza said.

Grammar school 'sex in storeroom' eviction reversed
A grammar school boy disqualified on alleges of sex in a store room has had the conclusion toppled after the charges were censured on a Facebook spread campaign. Trevor Evans, 17, was disqualified from West Kirby Grammar School, on the Wirral, in October last year accompanied reports that he and his then girlfriend had had sexual activity in a store cabinet and a school bathroom.
But an autonomous tribunal has thrown out the school’s verdict, ruling that it failed to examine the claims appropriately and took action without suitable facts.
Both, who were 16 at the time, were imposed to leave the school after the accusations, posted on Facebook, came to the notice of teachers.
They were primarily suspended, but just 48 hours later Trevor’s mother, Honora Evans, received a letter from the head teacher stating that he was being permanently expelled.
The girl, though, was "asked to leave" sooner than be officially excluded meaning that she had no permanent leaving out on her record, an appeal hearing was told.
Mrs. Evans requested against the conclusion to an autonomous panel of the local authority which restrained in clashes over issues such as school places and ruling out.
The mediation panel sits like a tribunal with a lay member chairing scheduling but with an ex-governor and head from away also hearing the proof.
They evaluated the school had not succeeded to put forward proof of the claimed sexual activity and said it had not followed appropriate methods by failing to take written declarations from the pair.
The panel also resulted that the school had not succeeded to treat both parties uniformly by ousting Trevor while the girl was only asked to leave.
They also noted that no accomplishment had been taken against the student who posted the initial comments on Facebook.
Trevor, an eager musician, sturdily rejected that they did anything immoral.
He has far ever asserted that he had gone into a compartment in a unisex bathroom area in the sixth form house to relieve her because she was weeping.
He said last night: "I merely want to get back to school and start again my studies."
Mrs Evans said: "This was a malicious campaign produced by some girls at the school who posted hateful rumors about him on Facebook."
She added: "The way the school dealt with this was a unthinking reaction and the right to education should be hold up, not taken away."
The head teacher Glenice Robinson said:”It would not be suitable to talk exact explanation but the school always does something in the best interests of students."
The girl was unavailable for comments last night.
Reba McEntire Death Hoax Spreads
Reba McEntire is the latest celebrity to fall victim to a death hoax that’s spreading like wildfire on the web. The alleged news of her death has circulated so quickly that ‘Reba McEntire’ became the No. 1 trending search topic on Google late Monday evening (Jan. 30). Her latest Facebook wall update has been flooded with desperate comments from fans hoping and praying that a report that the singer had fallen to her death while climbing a mountain on an Austrian movie set is untrue.
With a little further investigation, those claims of Reba McEntire being dead can seemingly be shot down.
The web posting that has been circulating about Reba’s “death” refers to her as an “actress,” when she is best known as a singer — which feels like the first sign that this news isn’t accurate. The fact that McEntire’s publicist, management team and record label haven’t issued a statement also arouses suspicion about the validity of the story. McEntire’s Facebook and Twitter accounts have both been active today, which wouldn’t be expected from someone who is, well, not alive.
The text of the alleged death report reads:
Actress Reba Mcentire died while filming a movie in Kitzbühel, Austria early this morning – January 30, 2012
Preliminary reports from Austrian Police officials indicate that the actress fell more than 100 feet to her death in a remote area of the Hahnenkamm mountains while on-set during the filming of a movie. Specific details are not yet available.
The accident occurred at approximately 4:30 a.m. (UTC/GMT +12).
Additional details and information will be forthcoming.
All one needs to do is scroll to the bottom of the website where this rumor is posted, where the fine print disclaimer reveals that the story is a complete and total fabrication.
The disclaimer on the website with the Reba McEntire death report states: about this web site. FAKE… THIS STORY IS 100% FAKE! this is an entertainment website, and this is a totally fake article based on zero truth and is a complete work of fiction for entertainment purposes! this story was dynamically generated using a generic ‘template’ and is not factual. Any reference to specific individuals has been 100% fabricated by web site visitors who have created fake stories by entering a name into a blank ‘non-specific’ template for the purpose of entertainment.

In other words, it seems that a death hoax about Reba McEntire was generated for entertainment purposes. It’s unfortunate that McEntire and her fans have had to deal with the malicious, false rumors.
Inner Beauty, Outer Beauty & Taking Time for Me...
Last week as I was getting my hair done,
I was chatting with the stylist about random things.
I mentioned that I hadn’t gotten my hair done in months.
It was frizzy, full of split ends, and had strands of gray...
It hasn’t been a priority.
I feel like I have so many other things to do during the day,
and spending time on my hair isn’t one of them.
If someone were to unexpectedly catch me at home,
They’d find me in comfy, stretchy clothes,
with my hair in a bun, sans makeup.
That’s how I live as a stay at home mom.
A few years back, was a different story.
I worked outside of the home,
and so I spent a little more time on me.
My hair and makeup were always done,
and I wore something other than tennis shoes.
Now as a SAHM,
I have a hard time justifying the reasons to spend time on me.
And sometimes,
I even feel a little guilty when I spend time and money on my hair, my makeup,
and clothes.
I-fight-that-feeling,
because when I do make time for myself,
before running errands or spending a day out,
I feel great!
The strange thing is that when I have a more natural look,
little to no makeup and casual clothes, my hubby compliments me more.
Proof that the extra time I spend on my appearance
is really something that want to do for ME!
I love dressing up. I love feeling feminine. I love being a woman.
As we talked about this,
My stylist mentioned a program she saw a while back,
letting me know that I was not alone,
women, Christian mothers in particular,
feel guilty about taking care of themselves.
It’s so true, as parents and care givers
it is in our nature to put others first.
When I drop my girls off to school in the morning,
they are bouncing along to their classroom looking fresh and cute,
and me?
I am hiding behind my hat and sunglasses!
She went on to say that the speaker mentioned that
women shouldn’t feel bad about spending time on themselves,
Because if we feel beautiful inside,
it's only natural to want to reflect that beauty on the outside.
I loved that!
Not that a woman has to be dressed up to be beautiful,
but I know that personally,
when I spend a little more time on my outward appearance,
I feel better and that confidence shows.
And when I am happy,
I really want to share my happiness...in all ways possible.
With my smile,
in my writing,
through conversation,
through gratitude in prayer
and even with what I wear,
because I do feel like we can express ourselves through our appearance.
What I am feeling internally, is usually reflected externally.
One way I do this is with color.
We know that the world does use colors to represent moods and attitudes...
Black= authority, power, darkness, depression,
White= innocence, purity,
Red= Love, vibrancy, appeal
Pink= romance, tranquility
Blue= calming, cool, sadness, strength
Green= conservative, easy going
Yellow = cheerful, optimism, newness, refreshed, energy inducing
Purple= feminine, wealthy
Brown= comfort, natural
I have a pair of hot pink exercise pants that I wear on occasion,
and they are so loud,
which is strange, because my shy, quiet personality is so not...
but I call them my happy pants.
I wear them when I feel great,
and at the same time,
I feel like they add a little more color to my day.
The day feels brighter, somehow!
Although, with that being said,
when it comes to taking time for me,
the most important thing I consider is if I have found that perfect balance.
It's about making sure that my house, my chores, my kids, my husband,
and my writing gets taken care of,
while still finding time for me.
I know I can be the kind of woman who makes the time to spend some time
on myself, with out feeling guilty about it,
because being beautiful on the inside doesn't necessarily mean
that we have to neglect the woman on the outside!
