Good morning, fellow Threedonians. Sorry to start the day off on a sour note, but in Obama’s America this is the kind of news we can expect to greet us on a regular basis.
The lapdog media continues its propagandist stroll, beguiling a weak minded public on behalf of a power mad President. The man Obama scapegoated so as to deflect attention from him over Benghazi and the death of four Americans is sent to prison for a year.

And the media keeps working on behalf of their “Dear Leader” by continuing to lie about the video’s role in the Sept. 11 attacks:
“… a crude anti-Islam film that stoked protests against the United States across the Muslim world … ” / “The film touched off a torrent of anti-American unrest in Arab and Muslim countries. The start of the violence on September 11 coincided with an attack on U.S. diplomatic facilities in the Libyan city of Benghazi that killed four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya.” / “While in protective custody since his arrest, Youssef has remained essentially isolated and unable to see his relatives, except for brief glimpses he can catch in courtrooms…”
“Protective custody … isolated and unable to see” his family!!! For a “probation violation!?!?!?!

I saw this yesterday and had a WTF moment! They do continue to manufacture at the national Crap Factory, don’t they?
I hope that school is a nuclear free zone, too. And a hate free zone. (I hate hate.)
If I’m supposed to tolerate everyone, but hate hate then I can’t tolerate everyone and hate hate, so I have to tolerate hate, but I can’t tolerate hate. I have to hate hate, but then I can’t tolerate everyone because then I wouldn’t be able to hate hate…
Sorry … my programming’s got a glich. Think I need to reboot … Okay, think I got it now. WAR IS PEACE. FREEDOM IS SLAVERY. IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.
All hail Macbeth!!

Amen!
I think the kids would learn more if it was a sex free zone. True story: One of my friends, who is a hard core Libertarian and tree hugging freak, had her 13 year old daughter tell her that she used her study period that day to perform oral sex on a boy, just to see what it was like. My “friend’s” response? “So how did that go for you?” and then made an appointment to get her on birth control. She’d been better off getting her tested for disease, as you can’t get pregnant doing what she did. That right there hardened my resolved for home school. It’s a lot of work, but at least I know what’s happening during study.
A “sex free zone” would work about as well as the drug-free or gun-free zones work.
I don’t know about oral sex but in the late 70′s in study hall guys and girls were making out. So to one degree or other this kind of stuff has always gone on…it’s no supervision that allows it. That and the parent’s lassie faire attitude about the whole thing tells me volumes as well.
I know everyone here knows this already, but I can’t understand why some well-meaning people can’t figure out that these signs just mean the law abiding will be the only ones unarmed. Bringing drugs and guns to school were always illegal, so how’s a stupid sign supposed to help? I guess it makes them FEEL like they’ve done something.
Well, yes, unless you’re hitting the kids with that sign, I don’t think it’s gonna do any good. I just figured if we’re gonna post a stupid sign, let’s address all the things that are making our schools less than ideal for learning. We’re gonna need a bigger sign.
Sexual behavior also happened, but to a lesser degree, in my high school. One big difference is that most moms would have at least been pissed off that you did it at school, even if they didn’t care about risky sexual behavior.
“I just figured if we’re gonna post a stupid sign, let’s address all the things that are making our schools less than ideal for learning. We’re gonna need a bigger sign.”
Good point.
The public schools need to teach the kids to read the signs first!
Good point. We could also put up signs saying “This is a cheating free zone” and “This is a tobacco free zone”.
Or, considering the way schools are going. . . “This is a Non-Michelle Obama approved food free zone”.
I wanta PB&J sammich!!!
Yep. I wish all those good & caring citizens who hatehate guns would show their support for gun control by posting a “gun free zone” sign on their front doors. I could sleep with both eyes closed then.
A sex free zone??? Who’s been peeking in my bedroom window???
Me!
I guess that means just because your bedroom is sex free, doesn’t mean it’s that way outside your window!
Put down the rolling pin…it’s just a joke!
So, you’ve been peeking in my kitchen window, too? Is that what you’re saying? Hhhmmm????
Only in reference to any chocolate dishes that may be being prepared!
I just assumed all women, when picking a defense weapon, defaulted to the rolling pin!
firing pin
OK…nuff talk…back to your window I go!
Have you ever noticed that every time a gang banger yoot gets shot/stabbed/ murdered by another gang banger yoot, he’s described as an honor student? I have.
Or when a 17 year old thug gets shot,his mom pulls out a pic of his kindergarten graduation?
And Obama says that the kid looks like the son he never had!
Plants
To take dust off live or artificial leaves, lightly dampen a microfiber cloth and wipe over the leaves. This will also add a bit of moisture to the real plants too.
Microfiber cloths turn plants’ leaves to a soylent green hue.
I tried it on my cacti. I’m suing Heloise.
Microfiber cloth is people!
If I swallow one will it clean my colon?
I think you might be taking the term “fiber” a bit far, dear. Try a bowl of cherries instead. Or just go for it. I can add you to the lawsuit then.
The Democrats’ refurbished “angry white guys” meme is really pissing me off. Where’s Tom Brocaw on this? And Mike Huckaberry needs to shut up.
So, is Petraeus all out?
Ole Guv Cuomo sez the system was inadequate … unlike Bush’s racist system.
Yes, it’s a lot of boys
Our annual family pic. No children were harmed, though several were threatened.
T! That pic makes me so happy. What a wonderful family! What a fab future group of angry white men to stand against the invasion. You are beeeeea-utiful & hubby’s a hunk!! Woohoo! And baby princess is, well, a princess! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Their Uncle Mike is busy making sure they know how to shoot too. I’m fairly sure that libs hate large families because they are seeing the future and they’re not having any babies.
From your lips to God’s ears to older Sun’s ears. Younger Sun is making babies (an paying for them himself with his wife); older Sun is fighting fires but denying his mother-who-suffered-greatly-during-his-birth the joy of his progeny.
(Does your husband have six or seven brothers and are any of them single? *o^)
What a crew! Big families make me smile.

Birthday of the Marines

My granddaddy Currie was a Marine,served in Central America of all places.
More dead bodies being found in east coast storm debris each day … sshhhhhh. 150k in NY still without power; that means everyone else has power, right? – a very good thing, Martha.
Obama slaughters Romney in Florida. Close.
The Stupid Party can’t even get Asian Americans

They can’t all be valedictorians Scott. I’ve had a bunch of Chinese students in grad courses over the years… let’s just say that stereotypes are not always true.
YES!

I’m not a huge A&M fan — I lean way over to UT even though I didn’t go there, but I am enjoying their leading Alabama in the 4th quarter 23-17 with less than 9 minutes to go.
Well, my family is more grim than they were Tuesday night.
Gig ‘em. Bama gets beat by what is essentially a BIG 12 team.
I was really getting tired of hearing all that Bama hype, I thought I was still stationed at FT Rucker.
