This is just comical.  Andrew Sullivan is still obsessing about Sarah Palins womb and why she won’t answer questions about her baby, Trig’s, birth.

But the more her pregnancy with Trig becomes a campaign platform, a serious inquiry into exactly what happened in those few surreal days - days and decisions that she has made public and that reflect vital questions about her character and judgment - remains on the shelf of media deference. And the key witnesses who could verify it all - Palin herself, her husband, her doctor - still refuse to even take questions on the most bizarre series of events in Palin’s entire life.

Uh, huh.  I’d tell Sullivan, and his ilk, to take a flying leap too.

Naked ex-mayor arrested at campsite

A former mayor found sitting naked and holding a beer at a Rabun County campsite told police he wasn’t the same naked man seen walking around earlier.

Mark Musselwhite, 43, said he was hot and had been in the creek, according to a Georgia Department of Natural Resources incident report. He apparently didn’t think he was doing anything wrong.

Musselwhite, of Gainesville, was arrested last weekend after being confronted by state DNR authorities. He was charged with public indecency.

“He told me he was the ex-mayor of the city Gainesville and he was a very political person,” DNR Ranger Brandon Walls wrote in the report.

Walls and a deputy sheriff went to the campsite Saturday evening after a complaint of a man walking naked in Earls Ford Road, according to the report. Musselwhite appeared to be intoxicated, and several alcoholic beverages were at the campsite, Walls said.

Walls said he had spoken to Musselwhite earlier in the day regarding an ATV the former mayor was driving.

“He looked at us and said hello,” according to the report.

Musselwhite then asked why he was being visited.

“I said the complainant had specifically said his campsite, and the fact that he was still nude made me think it was him,” Walls wrote.

Musselwhite denied that he was the nude man identified in the complaint.

See, around here, that’s par for the course.  And the fact that there could be two of them walking around?  Perfectly conceivable.  We used to have a local nutcase who would routinely walk around naked.  (and on occasion, show up in your hot tub)  But a naked guy at a campsite?  Not news.  Naked and a former politician?  Not all that surprising considering our current political climate.  I’m surprised more don’t crack under the liberal nuttiness going on. 

Did Obama Say We Should Kill the Old Folks to Save Money Last Night?

I am wondering when the euthanasia folks are going to start touting this one? I mean, it sure seemed to me as if the most caring, most civil, most intelligent president evah just said that healthcare could be cheaper if we don’t give old folks and the infirm the full measure of care they now get. It appeared that Obama said we should just let them die or suffer because they aren’t worth the effort. Imagine if Bush had said something like this? The left wouldn’t have hesitated to call him any manner of names.

Obama said during the ABC Special on Wednesday night that a way to save healthcare costs is to abandon the sort of care that “evidence shows is not necessarily going to improve” the patient’s health. He went on to say that he had personal familiarity with such a situation when his grandmother broke her hip after she was diagnosed with terminal cancer.

Obama offered a question on the efficacy of further care for his grandmother saying, “and the question was, does she get hip replacement surgery, even though she was fragile enough they were not sure how long she would last?”

But who is it that will present the “evidence” that will “show” that further care is futile? Are we to believe that Obama expects individual doctors will….  Read the whole article

I boycotted ABC all day yesterday after they sold out to President Teleprompter.   But this hits home.  If radation and chemo will give us a few more months with my husbands dad why should we be denied that?  And under Obama’s plan the serious question is would we be denied that?  We pay for our own heath insurance as it’s every individual’s responsibility to do so just as you would car insurance.  It’s looking like Obama is leaning towards not allowing individuals to keep their current health insurance though despite his earlier assurances.  Hopefully Obama won’t be given the chance to shorten anyone’s life.  But I have a personal prediction.  If Obama gets his way, and if I am unable to keep my health insurance, I predict that I will lose coverage of my enbrel medication.

11 tips for Beginner Photographers from Digital Photography School.

1. Don’t go crazy buying the most expensive equipment right away.

It’s possible to get very nice photos with an inexpensive point and shoot. See these examples on Flickr. The more photos you take, the more you’ll know about what kind of camera to get… Go read the rest.

This is when all the pathetic little web hackers have nothing else to do.

Sarah Palin at the Yankee Game

Todd, Sarah and Willow Palin

This was the day my husband didn’t take the zoom lens with him so these were the best of the few he took.

It’s likely the last Fathers Day for my husband and his dad.  They are at Infinion Raceway and with any luck, my son and his Grandpa will get to meet Matt Kenseth.   They have my camera so they’d better get plenty of pictures.

The scary thing is, while I’m sure the blog itself is satire, there really are people who feel this way.

You will be assimilated.

Time to boycot ABC.  The new “All Barrack Channel” is shilling for President Teleprompter and are silencing the opposition.

On the night of June 24, the media and government become one, when ABC turns its programming over to President Obama and White House officials to push government run health care — a move that has ignited an ethical firestorm!

Highlights on the agenda:

ABCNEWS anchor Charlie Gibson will deliver WORLD NEWS from the Blue Room of the White House.

The network plans a primetime special — ‘Prescription for America’ — originating from the East Room, exclude opposing voices on the debate.

Late Monday night, Republican National Committee Chief of Staff Ken McKay fired off a complaint to the head of ABCNEWS:

Dear Mr. Westin:

As the national debate on health care reform intensifies, I am deeply concerned and disappointed with ABC’s astonishing decision to exclude opposing voices on this critical issue on June 24, 2009. Next Wednesday, ABC News will air a primetime health care reform “town hall” at the White House with President Barack Obama. In addition, according to an ABC News report, GOOD MORNING AMERICA, WORLD NEWS, NIGHTLINE and ABC’s web news “will all feature special programming on the president’s health care agenda.” This does not include the promotion, over the next 9 days, the president’s health care agenda will receive on ABC News programming.

Today, the Republican National Committee requested an opportunity to add our Party’s views to those of the President’s to ensure that all sides of the health care reform debate are presented. Our request was rejected. *(”Hope and Change” people, “Hope and Change”) I believe that the President should have the ability to speak directly to the America people. However, I find it outrageous that ABC would prohibit our Party’s opposing thoughts and ideas from this national debate, which affects millions of ABC viewers.

In the absence of opposition, I am concerned this event will become a glorified infomercial to promote the Democrat agenda. If that is the case, this primetime infomercial should be paid for out of the DNC coffers. President Obama does not hold a monopoly on health care reform ideas or on free airtime. The President has stated time and time again that he wants a bipartisan debate. Therefore, the Republican Party should be included in this primetime event, or the DNC should pay for your airtime.

Respectfully,

Ken McKay

Republican National Committee

Chief of Staff

Personally, I’m more than thankful that we pay for good health insurance with what my father in law is going through.  I shudder to think of what he’d be going through on Obama’s Health Care model.

Modeling it after Canada or the UK’s failing system is not the answer.  Regulating the Insurance companies and setting standards is the way to go.  Would I like to pay less?  Absolutely.  Is it possible?  Likely.  What I don’t want is to be forced into a system that is inferior (especially considering I’d be paying the same amount anyway but in taxes).  Insurance companies need to be able to set competetive rates while being regulated where they can’t just drop someone who, after paying for years, suddenly needs coverage.  They need to take existing conditions.  And they need to have affordable options available.

We don’t need Canada’s failing system.
