"Men give me some credit for genius. All the genius I have lies in this: When I have a subject in hand, I study it profoundly. Day and night it is before me. I explore it in all its bearings. My mind becomes pervaded with it. Then the effort which I make, the people are pleased to call the fruit of genius. It is the fruit of labor and thought." - Alexander Hamilton

Max Baucus (D-MT) is a political and economic terrorist

According to the Wall Street Journal, Max Baucus (D-MT) did not like the actions of private owned company. Mr. Baucus then used his office for a personal political attack upon said private company.

What does this make Senator Baucus? At the very best this is like Stalin.

Bacucus should be impeached for such abuse of office and trying to censor what people say.

Can you understand this?

"There are many times when a group of people have to go there separate ways. The now two groups of people have to assume that both sides are treated equally and fairly just as the laws of nature and God intended them to be."


"We, as a people, find these things to be quite obvious to all people: First, all people are born equal. Second, all people are given certain things by their creator: the right of life (that no person should take your life), the right of liberty (we are born as freeborn people and deserve to be allowed to live our lives as we see fit). And the right to purse happiness.

"To set these rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness we at times must have a government. The government has its power and authority from those who are the people.

"Sometimes government will overstep their bounds and become bad governments. Sometimes to change the government the people can make small changes. But sometimes when governments become bad, the people have the right to stop being governed and start a new government.

"When the people, the people like you and me, see the time for a new government, we will try to make a government that makes people safe and promotes happiness."


I wrote this at 11pm at night with almost no sleep the night before. Not to bad. Here is the orginal.

"When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them."

and:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

Great words.

Acorn and problems

The more I learn about Acorn the more vile they become. Is there anyone in elected politics or for that matter the major media. What the Obama worked with Acorn. These Acorn people would steal a motorcycle jack from a blind man.

What will it take to have a special investigators and indpendent procustor to go after and look at Acorn. Obama wanted to have Acorn part of Obama and the White House.

Cost of insurance

One of the things that I am surprised about is that with all the things happening and going on in the world is that we can still get good auto insurance quote and why?

One of the best things about car insurance, unlike medical insurance, is that we can buy across state lines with no problems. This provides an incentive for the insurer to write better policy and to correctly id what is needed.

This in the long run provides insurance a reason to be cost competitive.

Have a strong base with many providers is a good thing.

I think that everything and its horse supplies are getting bailout money. Everyday there is something else that is receiving some money from the government.

Now we have Acorn getting money for advising how to sneak in illegal alien girls into the country and place them into to whore houses.

The worst part about this is that while Acorn is doing this, the media seems not to care. The media only cares to investigate the reporters doing the job the media used to do.

The first thing I thought of when I saw the video was,"Is this not what 60 minutes used to do?"

Where art thou camera in iPod Touch



This has to be the funniest video yet in response to the face Apple did not place the camera in the iPod touch.

Personally I still cannot beleieve it. This is not like the wow I lost weight using weight loss supplements. But the OMG what was Apple thinking. I am still not sure.

The person who did the subtitles on this did great and want to give him tons of kudos. Meanwhile i have to decide if I want to wait for an iPod Touch with a Camera. I am really thinking about waiting I am just afraid it will be another year.


In any case watch the video and laugh.

Bad Strikes

Trying to get some equestrian apparel for the kids can sometimes be hard. But not as hard as emptying a lake rather quickly. The video below is a really fun video about how to empty a lake quickly.

This is an amazing video of what happens from a simple miscalculation and starting from the wrong assumptions. Hummm. . . . could I draw an example from modern day politics. Of course i could. But why should I. You can do that yourself.

Well I hope that you have a most happy day and enjoy this video.

The Funniest Baseball Mistake Ever

I was just out playing softball with one of the units of students during my prep period. Many of these kids do not play ball and are not really familiar with all the ins and outs of the games. One of them understands the goading of players to make mistakes.

I was playing 2ndish base. Situation: player on 1st, no outs.

Paul is hit the left fielder/SS charges in and scoops the ball. Throw to second base. Runner out. Second base turns to throw a perfect strike for a double play.

The runner who just hit the ball, stopped about five feet from attaining first base. He turns and looks at me and makes a funny face trying to get me to throw and hopefully achieve an error.

I cock my arm and take a step as if I was going to throw the ball. The runner realizes his mistakes and scampers off to his last base, home plate. Ball is gently thrown to 1st base and the runner if out.

On paper it is 6-4-3 double play but in reality much funnier.
