another AP article where we are supposed to feel sorry for the illegal immigrants

Las Vegas SUN: Sleepaway Camps Losing Appeal
Everything changes so why not camps. Specialty camps seem to have changed things. Also going to camp seems to be different depending on where you grew up. Kids are to busy to spend most of the summer at camp.

Willie people give you a pass because they know you’re a doped up little old commie
Willie: Dixie Chicks 'Got a Raw Deal' - New York Times
Willie wonders why the Dixie Chicks got pasted for their remarks and he didn’t. Perhaps it’s because he has real talent and a long track record of god music or because he just might have thought of what he says or maybe even people think he is sort of out of it. Either way the chicks ain’t no Willie.

what does Sony stand for these days?
At 60, Sony Focuses on Rebuilding Brand
While I like my Sony digital camera it was expensive. Well relatively. I got it when a new model came out. I tend not to look at many Sony products as they are on the upscale side and sometimes have features I don’t care about. Too cool—too expensive for my market.

still hobbled but not dead
I haven’t blogged in a couple of days but I have been busy. Went to church Wednesday, gave my exam yesterday and today took them to be graded and picked up those taken off campus. We also went to the farmers’ market and to the vet’s; pills for the dogs not for me.
Perhaps I can play some today but I have to grade the last of the exams and the essays.

Las Vegas SUN: Judge Orders Teen to Cancer Treatment
I think standard treatment might be best—the judge thinks so. He ordered the parents to give consent. Can he do that—can he make them consent. He can assume guardianship but can he make someone give consent. That is probably a way to make sure they pay for the treatment.

Go back to covering space Lou—like the empty space between your ears. Seems he thinks we have no sense of proportion because we support a democracy against whatever the hell they have. A certain reading of his opening would seem to put ole Lou as one of those who don’t think Israel should even have a state.
Maybe I’m just being overly sensitive.

ECU loses great coach—better man Reflector.com: -- The Daily Reflector onlineman
He coached here 5 years won over 200 games lost only 100 and went to the NCAA’s times. I do think if he had stayed healthy
I think we might have made Omaha.
He stopped coaching in 2002 when the effects of ALS became too much. According to my students who were baseball players he continued to be the same person in illness he had been in health. They loved him. He fought this disease with dignity to the end.

I escaped two days in a row
Yesterday I went to the early service at church. Great to be there as I hadn’t been since I fell. Later we went with our neighbor to look at some property near the river. [It can’t be too near or I could even afford to look. ed.] then we all went out for BBQ. Now I’m at the office for a few hours. I need to meet with some students and run off the exams I will give next week. It’s great to be out and mobile—but it can be tiring also.

Montoya is not what I’m after in this post but the Michael Schumacher comment. Says he can’t see himself going to NASCAR. Seems it is the oval thing—asks basically what is in it ? Hence my answer how about a pass for the lead that isn’t done with one car in the pits or in turn one?

New Zealand news on Stuff.co.nz: Weight loss 'miracle' pill not far away
We all know that being fat just like smoking is a personality defect. Thus any aid to losing weight or to stop smoking is actually to be frowned on. Seriously, my guess is some of the more militant nutrition police will object. They will find a reason.
Don’t know if it would help me as I think much of mine is in my head—which is fat too.

this is an interesting lesson
newsobserver.com | Biases blur housing issue
Towns in NC don’t seem to want low income housing. Some residents say it will lead to drugs and crime. The response from supporters is to accuse people of a form of racism and then to talk abut all the local people who need the low income housing—they trot out the elderly and others. However, they never seem to answer the crime question. They don’t even address it—yep a clear case of racism and bias against the poor to me oh and bias against the elderly.

the weather guys agree with my ankle
Not sure but I’m keeping a sort of informal log. What topic—does the hardware in my ankle predict rain and storms? So far it seems to predict severe weather rather than just rain. It hurts and for no reason—meaning I haven’t done anything to make it hurt worse. Also there is a place in the ankle where it seems to hurt in relation to the weather.

at last a church crazier than mine
News from Agape Press
The Presbyterian church USA has done some real damage to itself I think. We made fun of their rewriting of father son and holy spirit but you need to read some of the things they approved in the name of being gender neutral they have some things like “compassionate mother, beloved child, and life-giving womb.” Yep that’s neutral.
They even had official committees recommending a resolution on suicide bombing not be approved. They thought it might offend some body—can’t say who. A church that will not condemn suicide killings has some very serious problems. Maybe it is just a place for the PC crowd to hand out on Sunday.

I was in training all day. It was sponsored by the NC dept. of Marine Fisheries. Very well done and lots of stuff I didn’t know about methods of catching and rules and rule making.
Did you know the three types of shrimp in NC are white, pink and brown—no it’s not boiled, fried and grilled.

And everyone else don’t even mention beef. It’s nice but it ain’t you know.

state judge gets it wrong again
Las Vegas SUN: Judge Issues Restraining Order Ga. ID Law
Somehow judge rules and is adamant that requiring a picture ID to be a fundamental block on the right to vote. This judge is a fundamental block to logic and clear thinking. Then proceeds to lecture about partisanship. What a gas bag—why is there a basic right to vote without people being sure you are who you are? Why is there a fundamental right to voter fraud?
Your vote is supposed to be secret not you.

Just another attempt for some Canadian to try and bash the president. Author’s name is Bruce—if he ain’t an Aussie then he might be in trouble.

time for some of that international law magic
Las Vegas SUN: New Orleans Housing Unwelcoming to Some
Activists and others have found a UN “LAW” that they say would require New Orleans and especially the federal govt to provide public housing now. Don’t know what these people actually want—the public housing projects are torn up and storm damaged. Apparently these lawyerly asshats expect the prospect of UN “law” to make the government create free housing out of thin air. If not then they are bigoted.
Jeeez I’m tired of activists and very tired of international law in the hands of tunnel vision morons.

NY court said that the legislature should decide the issue of gay marriage not the courts. Boy hat is a strange decision—most courts just can’t keep their mitts off any issue.

apparently acting like a spoiled child is the highest form of patriotism
Flags burn in celebration - By GENEVIEVE BOOKWALTER - SENTINEL STAFF WRITER - July 4, 2006
West coast dummies burning flags as a celebration that they can—it’s all about free speech. What a whiney little protest—as they said the flag doesn’t just belong to those who support Bush but apparently the ones without the smoke damage do.

if they had just published the info rather than try and sell it
3 charged with stealing Coca-Cola info - Yahoo! News
Freedom of the press right? Let me see you can hurt the safety of the people and the government and not be accountable but try and steal data and we put you in jail.
Hey I understand the difference but still need to know why the USSR didn’t just get some fellow traveler Americans, get them a newspaper and them all of their spying would have abeen protected. Right?

woo hoo I got out today
My wife and I ate with a friend at McDonald’s then stayed and had a meeting with my graduate assistant. I’m teaching online so haven’t had any real office hours yet as getting there is a pain. Maybe next week. It was nice to get out and also get a haircut—it has been over a month and I was looking like a wooly mammoth in size and appearance. Also in grazing ability

why I’m beginning to think all things in the UK are just abut to go to hell
Belfast Telegraph
Bad enough that an Ulster presenter for the BBC wishes the president would “rot in hell.” However, the great line is the spokesperson who was sorry for any offense caused. Any—your newsreader tells the president of another county to basically die in afire and you wonder about any offense.
Stupid brits—these people are really showing themselves. However they are our betters you know just talk to any liberal and fan of public TV.
Also the article mentions freedom of speech several times. People say this as if it’s some soert of immunity to criticism. I have freedom of speech too and your remarks were stupid and I think reflect your intelligence and breeding. Nope can’t say anything about what I said – freedom of speech.

head of gas passer doc group makes warning
Las Vegas SUN: Anesthesiologists Advised on Executions
Doesn’t want his people participating in death sentences. Says it will hurt confidence in doctors. Maybe but just maybe he is making apolitical statement. Perhaps what hurts confidence in gas passers is being late to consult with a patient and having to call your partner in at the last minute thus holding the patient in pre-op for an extra hour.- or so. All the while they can’t locate you. Nope, things like that do wonders for the profession.
Other things that hurt confidence—over billing and Medicare fraud—executions are far down on my list. But keep up the god political work with you “professional” association there doc.

the thrill is gone
Yep being cranky and sarcastic this morning. It’s been a month since I fell and broke my ankle. It is still almost a full month before I go back to the doctor and see if I get to put any weight on it. Right now the answer is none. So for the last month I have not walked except with the aide of a walker, have not gone into a store, driven a car, cooked a meal or slept on my right side. I haven’t been out except once except on the deck to see the dogs—done that a couple of times. Getting down the stairs with the bump butt method is not a thing I do a few times a day.
I have watched a lot of TV and gained weight. On the other hand it’s been terribly hot up here and I have stayed in and avoided that.
Not feeling sorry for myself this morning just cranky and wishing this would speed up.
Also I think I developing the ability to predict rain—well I need to look on the bright side of this.

waiting on problems
My students have until 11 tonight to finish up the first part of the class. All assignments and links to test and such disappear then. I’m monitoring the email for things like a hung up test or any problems. Easier to deal with them before the deadline than afterward.

like I care
Telegraph | News | Britons see US as vulgar empire builder
Since I believe this would be the same “Briton” that won’t serve ham in certain hospitals because any ham in the building is offensive to certain groups, this would be the same place that prosecutes you if you molest a burglar in you home, the same place that lets first time arsonists go with a warning and the same place that won’t do anything about its radicals for fear of offending people. Well not sure what I care about what you think of us. You don’t even want to know what I think of you.

more cranky blogging
CHRISSIE HYNDE - Hynde: 'meat-eaters Are Terrorists'.
See why—I’m still locked in my house and am not mobile. However, stupid brain dead former rockers can get out and say stupid things. She is ready to go to jail for her beliefs—gee I wish we could let her. But we don’t and she gets to live in her world where she is some brave hero and not a has been something or other.

some reporters for the AP aren’t biased but they might be stupid
Las Vegas SUN: Status Hurts Mexican Voting Bloc in U.S.
The general thrust of this article is to sort of make us feel sorry for some Mexicans who can’t vote in their --that is their national election because they are in the U.S. illegally. They fear crossing the border without papers. Boo—Hoo. Either here or there sparky—here or there.

are politicians everywhere addicted to pork
67 Pages of 'Must' Reading: Council Budget Adjustments - New York Times
Read this and sort of get sick—the money that they pour into groups and projects. This is done no matter that projects of higher priority are funded less. Is getting elected and “buying” votes that important?

Hollywood moves closer to coming out of the religious closet
Christian Movie's Rating Worries Lawmakers - New York Times
Religious movie get PG some think it is for the religious content. Of course the ratings people say not. It was for some other strong content – yeah other strong content that’s the ticket. This just might be the first real slip up in how they actually view the beliefs of most Americans.
