Well, after a long haul and a master's degree, my daughter was notified this morning that she will be a member of the USUHS School of Medicine Class of 2012! This was her first-choice medical school, and she is elated. After 6 weeks of officer training this summer, she will be commissioned an Army 2LT, and will begin school in August or September. Her brother, an Annapolis graduate and Marine 2ndLt. is happy for his sister, but has reservations about her service selection. My wife and I have begun practicing the term "Hooah", but we will continue to sit on...

been reading some of your earlier blogs and its quite apparent what kind of views and ideas you are imposing here. I find it amazing how you survive and bear to stay in China, when you are clearly so racist towards the Chinese in general (not including those few Chinese students you find cute in minnie mouse cosplay). I had hoped to read and be presented by a more open and unbiased view of China before my visit but your website to me seems like a compilation of China's faults coupled with your crude and racist views which you would...

This is an animated video of two Red-Tailed chicken hawks that sing their songs and talk about what the younger hawk has just learned, that chickens are birds just like him. The voices of the hawks are, grandson and myself, o7jimmy. Background is the song of wild birds.

Chinese officials will hold talks with the Dalai Lama's representatives, state media say, in the first meeting since rioting broke out in Tibet last month.

When will it end? WHEN WILL IT END??? That is the question now haunting the DUmmies. In a normal political primary campaign, the script calls for it to be all over right after Super Tuesday. At that point the designated nominee can relax for a few months until his formal coronation at the summer convention. However, this time the script has been entirely torn up due to Rush Limbaugh's Operation Chaos plus the persistence of Hillary Clinton. Barack Obama must feel like a victim of Michael Myers. She is IMPOSSIBLE to put down for good. Instead she keeps coming...

Denver—In what could be one of the few times in American history, Denver residents are proposing a lynching party for Rush Limbaugh. The proposals come after the second time Limbaugh implied that riots could happen in Denver after the Democrat nominee is selected. For what has been an extreme, right wing radio program since its inception in 1988, Limbaugh continued to push the race issue, taunting liberals, and leaving in his wake disgruntled Denver residents. “I hope Limbaugh brings his fat butt to Denver,” fired Jim Rope, a 46-year old Meineke mechanic. “I’ve got the tree already picked out!” “I...

he people who want to sequester carbon dioxide (CO2) don't understand the biosphere. Carbon and oxygen are two of the most important elements for biological life. 65% of the human body is oxygen and 18.5% is carbon. Plants are carbon structures with the percentage of carbon varying according to the type of plant. The CO2 oxygen cycle is critical to the functioning of the biosphere. Animals exhale CO2 which plants then use to produce the molecules such as sugars and starches that animals use for food. Plants release oxygen into the air which animals inhale and combine with the carbon...

The list of Barack Obama associates that hold views that clash with mainstream America is getting longer every day and now we can add another notch in the "anti-American" column of Obama campaign workers and supporters. This time we find that the Obama campaign's official blogger, Sam Graham-Felsen, has spent time in France participating in labor riots, has written for a socialist magazine, hung a communist flag in his home, and was a fan of Marx while at Harvard. Is this a case of the media not vetting another Obama associate? Why have we not heard of this man before...

I think a significant problem that Obama has, which will come to light, is a personal characteristic of his seeking to to avoid difficult choices and take an EASIER way out of a situation. Here are just five examples. (1). As a child and young man, he was called Barry, not Barack. That was EASIER for him and for the people who knew him. (2). In 1988, at the age of 27, he became a Christian to enable a career in politics and to enable a relationship with Michelle Robinson, who later became his wife and the mother of his...

....Four years in and here’s the report I promised to all of my still-single friends out there. My friends, the only way to describe married life post-newlywed stage is: controlled and comfortable chaos. Once you shed the ‘newlywed eyes’ and see your Mate for Life for the first time for who and what they really are – human! – you reach a make or break point in your relationship.....

The Kent Gardens Elementary School in McLean, Virginia has placed a ban on the school yard game of tag—alleging that it “sends the wrong message.” “I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to comfort a weeping child who didn’t want to be ‘it,’” said Vice-Principal Pat Keister. “The game is too stressful and competitive. This contradicts the message of love and affection we are trying to convey through the free condom distribution program for our fifth-graders.”

Do you like paying Sky High Gas Prices? Thank A Democrat. Of all the campaign issues that the candidates are not talking about, gas prices lead the list. On the heels of the worst housing slump since WWII our economy faces an even bigger threat; Loss of mobility. This is obvious to anyone who needs to fill up their transportation yet the elite, those who create the environmental dictates American’s must contend with couldn’t care less. They refuse to even engage the subject as they attempt to lie their way into the White House. Where are the new refineries, nuclear...

NJDC denounces McCain’s ties to Hagee but has nothing to say about Obama and Michael Moore [http://www.israpundit.com/2008/?p=814] “How Does McCain Really Feel About Hagee?” by the National Jewish Democratic Council’s David Kim [http://njdc.typepad.com/njdcs_blog/2008/04/mccain-unsure-a.html] attacks John McCain for accepting the endorsement of Pastor John Hagee. Before we address NJDC’s concerns about Pastor Hagee, we remind our readers that the National Jewish Democratic Council has been totally unresponsive to our well documented requests [http://www.israpundit.com/2008/?p=685] for it to denounce: (1) Barack Obama’s pastor and church, which have published blood libels of the United States and Israel while calling upon God to damn America...

Even as Hillary Clinton trails Barack Obama in pledged delegates, the popular vote, and number of states won, she has made it clear that she plans to stay in the race for the nomination. All of which brings me to this logical conclusion: It is time for Barack Obama to drop out. If Clinton had the good of the Democratic Party in mind, she would have given up her bid the day after the Mississippi primary, which Obama won by 25 points. The delegate math was as dismal for her campaign then as it is now, even after Pennsylvania, and...

Danica Patrick became the first female winner in IndyCar history recently, winning the Indy Japan 300 by 6 seconds. Some women's advocates and Patrick herself are complaining about a new rule which feminists claim is "aimed at the women in Indy." The rule says that lighter drivers have to carry ten more pounds on them. Race car driver Robby Gordon has a different perspective, saying that Patrick is at an unfair advantage over the rest of the competitors because she only weighs 100 pounds. Because all the cars weigh the same, Patrick’s is lighter on the race track. He says:...

I just heard from Larry Sinclair. Sinclair has confirmation of receipt and Sinclair’s attorney, Mr. Sibley, has been contacted by a Chicago Police detective requesting that Sinclair or Sibley speak to him. Larry Sinclair alleges a drug and gay sex ecounter with Obama in November 1999 and also alleges that Donald Young contacted him shortly before he was murdered. The following is from Larry Sinclair’s blog: “On April 1, 2008 I sent via fax a notarize affidavit to the Chicago Police Department concerning communications between myself and the murdered Choir Director, Donald Young of Trinity United Christian Church, in Chicago,...

“What’s that?” asked little Johnson Benson as he stared in wild-eyed amazement at the streams of cars traveling on I-99 toward State College. “They’re called commuters and they’re going to work,” replies his mother, Madine Selkers. “Work? What’s that mommy?” Johnson said, raising his eyebrows. “It’s a way for other people to enable my substance abuse, as well as provide us with a lifestyle of relative ease and border-line criminal behavior,” Selkers said. “These people owe us a living, Johnson, and you should avoid them.” Today, thousands of Welfare mothers, mainly in Blair County and Bellefonte, will keep their children...

See the video attached. Real catch match between Hillary and Obama aliases. Hilarious. OPERATION CHAOS FOREVER !

The MSM dare not speak its name but the DUmmies are not shy about assigning the REAL blame for Obama's loss in PA---Operation Chaos. It is amusing to hear all the pundits and political analysts go over the many reasons why Hillary won the Pennsylvania primary while carefully avoiding the TRUE reason why she won. Namely that hundreds of thousands of Republicans temporarily switched parties in order to vote for Hillary as part of Rush Limbaugh's Operation Chaos. Yes, the media analysts will note the large number of Republican crossover voters without daring to mention WHY they switched. However,...
