Items of Interest on a Monday .......

Here's a couple of things that you probably should see. Some new. Some not so new.

This video of a Town Hall meeting is good. There's been a lot of opinion about it in the last few days, so I'll spare you any extra. I just found it to exemplify the frustration that's out there. And the proper way to deal with shithead politicians.



You go, Marine. Semper Fi!

Speaking of Town Hall meetings - Here's an article and some commentary by, Mike Vanderboegh that you should read. Mike should be a daily read for you anyway and this is especially good.

Unrelated to Town Hall meetings, but from the, Dept. of Kinda Strange, comes this-
Fellow patrons had their cellphones temporarily confiscated to prevent pictures from being taken.

"MICHELLE Obama, like her husband, enjoys a good burger, but not as well done. The first lady brought daughters Malia and Sasha to former "Top Chef" contestant Spike Mendelsohn'sGood Stuff Eatery in DC for cheeseburgers, onion rings, fries, and milkshakes. "They got the burgers medium," says a spy. (President Obama was mildly ridiculed after ordering a burger medium-well in January.) "Three starving Secret Service guys were literally standing over the grill as Spike made the burgers, but didn't eat," our source adds. Fellow patrons had their cellphones temporarily confiscated to prevent pictures from being taken."

To which I'd have told them to "Go fuck yourself".
Yes, it would be a hassle to do that. But some things are just worth it.
A cellphone camera is not a security threat so I would not comply. I wouldn't be taking pictures of them without their (Meaning Mrs Obama) anyway. That's rude.

But I sure as hell wouldn't hand over a phone just to make them happy.


Add on - Here's a Guy that just impressed me a bunch. Go check this out. Congressman from Michigan.
Don't know anything more about him other than what is in this video. Seems like a guy worth paying attention to.
