August winds down as we head into the last months of the '08 political season.

Russia's withdrawal from Georgia is murky and ambiguous as is the US response to the situation.

Pakistani President Musharef resigns today , and a TD moves over Cuba headed toward FL.

I have arrived to apply CPR.

Grandkids are here. So I’m only passing thru

Maybe we should start calling him ZerObama: zero experience, zero sense of humor, and zero chance of acting in America’s best interests.

[prairiebreeze]

Yes, it’s quite beautiful here. This area was very dry too, so the past rain was very appreciated by the locals.

The forecast today and tomorrow is for nice mornings and chance of an isolated thunderstorm in the afternoon.....typical mountain weather. But Wed, Thurs and Friday’s forecast looks spectacular and without precipitation.

We’re planning on doing the Royal Gorge Railroad tour today.

Enjoy yourself! How long will you be in CO?

You know, everybody says Nobama has no executive experience because he's 'never run anything in his life.'

Well, guess what? It just so happens that he HAS run something at the executive level, and it was an utter failure.

Read this article by a guy named Steve Diamond who has followed the Nobama-Bill Ayers connection from the beginning: That “Guy Who Lives in My Neighborhood”: Behind the Ayers-Obama Relationship

Some points of interest:

1. Nobama was the Chairman of the Board for the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC), which existed from 1995-2001 as a way to use $50 Mil. of Walter Annenberg's philanthropic money combined with $60 Mil. from public and private funds.

2. CAC had 3 pieces: the Board (led by Nobama, made all funding decisions), the Chicago Schools Collaborative (known as The Collaborative, led by Ayers, was the operational arm where the money was spent), and the Consortium of Chicago Schools Research, which was to measure their effectiveness.

3. The whole thing was aimed at wresting control of Chicago schools by recruiting and electing Local School Councils (LSCs) so they could force schools to do it Ayers' way.

4. Among the recipients of the funding was a guy named Mike Klonsky, an unabashed Maoist, who thought so much of Mao and gang that he visitied China in the 70's and came back with the appellation that his pro-maoist organization was the de-facto Communist Party of America. Klonsky was a crony of Ayers in the SDS, and, like Ayers, went on to a teaching career. He got the CAC money to teach 'Social Justice Workshops', which were nothing more than seminars to spew his Marxist-Leninist theory.

Mike Klonsky is now part of the Nobama campaign, and runs a blog on the Nobama website.

5. And finally, since the CAC was a non-profit that accepted public funds, their records were supposed to be accessible by the public from the University of Illinois Chicago library -- except when Stanley Kurtz tried to see them, they were mysteriously withdrawn and classified as 'Restricted'.

Bottom line is that the CAC, jointly run by Nobama and Bill Ayers, and after spending $110 Million, had absolutely no effect on test scores or on the improvement of the delivery of public education in Chicago, but kept Ayers and his buddies like Klonsky fully-funded for about 7 years...and Ayers is the guy Nobama wants us to believe is 'just some guy who lives my neighborhood'...;-))

WOW! Good catch! Thank you.

[Bitwhacker]

Oh, and one other thing: Ayers and his peers think there exists something called an ‘Educational Debt,’ which is essentially reparations that the U.S. should pay, mostly to ‘people of color,’ for ‘hundreds of years of educational oppression’ and ‘lack of opportunity’ resulting therefrom...;-))

GOOD ‘AFERNOON’ KIND LADY, ALL FROM THE MISSISSIPPI GULF COAST AND YEP, WE ARE MISSING THIS ONE, THANKFULLY!!!!
We are getting the expected afternoon thunder boomers and heavy rains but this we need.

I AM going to try to check in early tomorrow being that I got the place cut before rains came, it was growing faster than I could cut it. Did pick up some limbs too, winds high last night.

Obama showed himself at Saddleback for sure but the ‘annoinnted one’ is still bowed to as he walks by, this ole country has finally hit the rock bottom for sure.

Just wanted to say ‘HI’ and ‘BYE’, see yo9u in the A.M.

Goodness!

Let me think of something re:[‘lack of opportunity’ resulting therefrom...;-))]

Ahhh! Women's room was occupied. The other said Men's ..yet empty. I had to wait.

I didn't like that. ;-) I want reparations for what could have happened.

[lysie]

Hi sweetie. I hope you are feeling better.

[lysie]

BTW, every joint in my body..not neck, is screaming.

Head, shoulder, knees and toes.

Head shoulders, knees and toes. Eyes, ears....nose... oh oh oh oh oh oh ohoh.. head, shoulders, knees and toes.

Years ago, my daycare song. ;-)
