Eddie Marie: Karaoke Queen


A friend:
On Feb. 18, 2011 Eddie Marie lost her battle with cancer. She was Long Beach's Karaoke Queen, loved and respected by all. She was an extraordinary and adorable entertainer with a heart of gold that matched her golden voice. She loved America and the veterans, she brought her karaoke machine to the old Long Beach VFW Post 1746 and the Lakewood American Legion Post 496 among other establishments in the Long Beach area where everyone had fun. She will be missed by all who knew her.


2/25/11: My first close friend to pass away...

3/5/11: Just got back from the Memorial for Eddie Marie Kurgan which began at 1 p.m. at the American Legion, 5938 Parkcrest, Long Beach, California.

It was attended by close to 500 people and it was truly magnificent just like she was. God bless those who took care of her so well in the end, and her family in Alabama who raised up such a beautiful person.

Newpaper article about her here and from her hometown in Montgomery, Alabama:
JONES, Miss Eddie Marie Kurgan was born in Montg, on Feb. 19, 1947 to Elizabeth Jones Gholston, and Abe Snow (deceased). At an early age she confessed faith in Jesus Christ and joined the Troy Chapel AMEZ Meth. Church. Marie graduated from Carver High School in Montg. She moved to Chicago, IL. where she started her career in music. She eventually moved to Long Beach, CA, where she continued to sing and became known as the Black Queen of country music. Marie departed this life on February 18, 2011 in Lakewood, CA. Services will be held in Long Beach, CA on March 5, 2011 at 1:00 PM. She leaves to cherish her memory, her loving mother Elizabeth Jones Gholston; three brothers, J. T. (Shirley) Coleman, Willie J. Gholston Jr., James (Josefa) Gholston, all of Montg. Also fraternal siblings Marshall (Carmellia) Taylor, Alfreda Snow, Larry (Alice) Snow, Joyce (David) Allen, Orum (Nicole) Snow, Deborah (David) Brown, Ray (Irma) Snow and Tanya (Terry) French.
My heart is broken.

Rate of Return Nonsense

by Dick McDonald Ownership Society Institute

The most effective argument against the privatization of Social Security and Medicare that Democrats and their propagandists have used to defeat any meaningful discussions is “the stock market is too risky.”

Ignoring the reality that almost all existing government and private retirement and old-age medical plans invest in the stock market (with the exception of Social Security and Medicare which are pay-as-you-go “Ponzi-type” schemes) their “too risky” propaganda doesn’t hold water.

First we have to consider what we are doing in crafting plans to finance Social Security and Medicare costs. Isn’t it true that we are looking to finance costs that won’t arise until after the taxpayer retires from an active working life of 40 to 50 years? Therefore we need to craft a plan that is very long-term in nature not short-term.

This brings us back to the rate of return nonsense that is accepted by so many Americans – “the stock market is too risky.” Well it isn’t risky over the long-term. In fact its average rate of return in 40-year increments ever since the S&P 500 started being tracked in 1871 is almost 10% per year.

In its long march from 1 to today’s 12,000 the DOW industrial average has experienced dramatic “short-term” swings. The DOW fell 60% in the great depression. Generally it falls 40% in recessions. In today’s Great Recession it fell 50%. It tumbled from 12,000 to 6,000. However, we are not in unchartered waters. The market always rebounds and then moves higher. Isn’t it over 12,000 today?

Now let’s add to the anti-privatization rhetoric the common argument that I can only get 1% interest on my savings account. Well bank interest is not worthy of discussion. Let’s take a look at the rate of return stocks have experienced on the rebound as of today February 26, 2011.

1. The DOW is up 85% from its March 9, 2009 low.
2. NASDAQ is up 119% from its March 9, 2009 low.
3. S&P 500 is up 95% from its March 9, 2009 low.

Therefore if you funded your retirement on March 9, 2009 your portfolio has probably doubled in value. Now discard the nonsense about bank interest and embrace stocks – they are our salvation.

The long-term advantages of investing in a fund of stocks that track average rates of return are undeniable. A plan that invests in indexed-type stock funds is the only answer to solving our present entitlement-debt crisis.

By replacing Social Security and Medicare with a reasoned stock-investment plan we not only solve our debt problem but our economic problems as well. By investing our annual payroll taxes of $1 trillion in the stock market will generate trillions in new economic activity and tens of millions of jobs.

We must realize such a plan will make even a janitor a millionaire at retirement. The rich will become richer and the country that promised shining city on the hill. It will deliver the American Dream, not the political one but the one we all day dream of.

Today society is in a budget-cutting frenzy to solve its financial problems. However they are ignoring the revenue factor. New Congressman Colonel Adam West put it bluntly this morning “we don’t have a revenue problem we have a spending problem.” I totally disagree, we have both and the Tea Party is missing the boat by agreeing with West.

Republicans, Tea Partiers, Democrats and the talkers are presently recommending less than 1% solutions to our endemic spending problems and zero on direct revenue raising solutions. The solution in raising revenues is not by raising taxes but increasing tax revenues which only occur in a free society when tax rates are low and the returns on investments high.

Now if you understand the rate of return issue turn your focus on to increasing economic activity by reducing tax rates. The attending increase in economic activity will solve many of our problems by exploding the tax revenues without raising rates.

Those interested in cutting Federal taxes by 40% and reducing the average tax load on Americans by 40%, solving our debt crisis and exploding the economy upwards might consider the plan enumerated here.

The rate of return will take care of itself. Invest in America.

My first close friend to pass away...

You always wonder what it'll be like.

I remember when it happened to my Dad.

We were living in Hawaii where we'd moved in 1964 from Las Vegas for his business. A year or two later, his oldest friend and former business partner passed away.

I was home alone with him (my Mother was on the Mainland--as they call it there--I think) and I remember feeling rebuffed by his response to the phone call because I went to hug him and he pushed me away.

I felt hurt...and yet, at the same time, I understood completely.

My husband just now came and hugged me and I just cried. We both smiled, too, because we both had loved Marie and known her eternally upbeat take on life (although he didn't know her for as long, or in the same way as I did, since I met her long before we were married). We'd last shared a lunch with her at The Cheesecake Factory in Marina del Rey last year where we sat outside near all the yachts and ocean air.

No, I don't suddenly feel my own mortality like you so often hear people say. I've felt my own mortality for quite awhile already, thank you very much! And Marie was not afraid to die (I know, because I asked her).

She was pretty, she was fun, and she loved life.

And...I really miss her!

She really should have broken through in the music business, too. She sang...and you could feel it in your heart.

Years ago, I was at one of her live performances. One grey-haired lady just couldn't contain herself and ran up on stage and hugged her!

THIS is what Marie (Eddie Marie Jones-Kurgan) brought out in people all of her life...and it is what I will miss the most.

When governments cause porn...

Do you agree?
Pornography and governments have an on-again-off-again relationship. Sometimes the government ignores porn and a decade will pass without any new laws regulating it. Other times governments clamp down on porn and pretty much make it illegal in any form. Right now (in 2011) we are in a period of leniency towards porn, but its time is nearly up. The reason is this: right now governments are failing to defend intellectual property and copyrights. This creates a situation in which there is so much file-sharing going on world-wide that the only way to make a living producing photos is to make porn. Small-time artists who make tasteful nudes cannot sell enough to make up for the huge losses they suffer from file-sharing. By contrast, pornographers motivated solely to make money actually depend on low production values to generate profits. It's when the only nudes around are these sordid, sadistic, and seedy kinds of porn that people start feeling they've had enough and governments start outlawing porn.

Can some trumped up emergency just prior to the 2012 election justify an internet shutdown?

November 2010 is the distant past and 2012 can't come fast enough!


Will Barack Obama usher in the Mahdi?

WHO KNEW?

Ridha Mohammed: "I will tell you a secret that the Americans don't know...their next President is a Shi'ite."
The notion that Obama is a Shi'ite may be traced to Iran. In the run-up to the U.S. presidential election, state-run papers published articles claiming that the Democratic nominee's paternal ancestors had hailed from southwestern Iran. In reality, of course, Obama's father and his ancestors came from Kenya, where Shi'a Islam is rare. Most Kenyan Muslims are Sunnis and leaven their faith with pre-Islamic African traditions and beliefs. Obama himself has said he has no idea if his paternal grandfather (who converted from Christianity) was Sunni or Shi'ite.

Undeterred, some Shi'ite scholars trawled through ancient texts to find proof and came up with increasingly far-fetched theories linking the rise of Obama to important Shi'ite figures like the Imam Ali. Some pointed to a prophecy sometimes attributed to Ali that the arrival of the Mahdi — a messiah-like figure who, Shi'ites believe, will ultimately defeat evil — will be presaged by the appearance of a messenger, a tall black man who will rule the West. Others read meaning into Obama's name. In Persian, O-ba-ma means "He's with us," and Barack Hussein can loosely be translated as "blessings of Hussein," an allusion to Ali's son, another imam revered by the Shi'ites. Obama's strenuous denials made no difference to these theorists: they simply reasoned that he must be practicing al-Taqqiya, or dissimulation; Shi'ite jurists say believers may conceal their faith from infidels in order to protect themselves from harm.
Some indicators of a Shiite/Islamic connection to Obama:
1. Hussein, of course, is the name of the martyr-founder of Shia Islam.

2. Obama's parents' marriage seemed to be in line with the Shia doctrine of Nikah Mutah, or temporary marriage of convenience. In such a marriage the Muslim man may marry a Christian or Jew.

3. Obama could outwardly profess Christianity and inwardly be a Shiite according to the Shia doctrine of Taqiyya--dissimulation--as long as it was for the ultimate glory of Islam.

4. In the latest debates Obama as stated how he is willing to destabilize Pakistan (Sunni) going after the Taliband (Sunni) but wants to pull out of Iraq, giving Iran (Shiite) the advantage in Iraq. He would also sit down and talk with Iran's leader without conditions. His choice of Biden as VP is also telling: Biden is a great supporter of Iran. After 9-1-1 he wanted the US to give Iran a huge grant ($200,000,000 I think was reported by National Review magazine).

5. Early in his campaign Obama had a private meeting with Hussan Al-Qazwini (Shiite) religious leader at the largest American Mosque which is located in Dearborn, MI. Al-Qazwini gave Obama a copy of his new book, CRESCENT AMERICA. They discussed foreign policy including Israel. Louis Farrakhan has been an honored guest at this mosque as well as at Obama's United Church in Chicago. Farrakhan preaches the destruction of American will come via Islam. Obama's former minister, Rev. Wright, was a Black Muslim before he decided on the Christian pulpit as reported in the New Republic magazine.

6. Slips of the tongue: Obama said he would campaign in all 57 states (the number of Islamic states in the OIC at the UN) rather than all 50 states. He also said, "My Muslim faith," in an interview with George Stephanapolous.

7. Obama, if truly baptized, would have taken a Christian baptismal name. But he continues to go by his Muslim name.

8. The Kenya connection: His activity in Kenya has been in favor of the Muslims and Muslim political bosses there.

9. His father, grandfather, step-father and nearly all his half-siblings are or were Muslim.

10. Obama was registered as a Muslim in a school in Indonesia. He is reported to be able to recite the Muslim call to prayer with a perfect Arabic accent. He says, himself, that the prettiest sound at sunset is the Muslim call to prayer.

11. The symbol or campaign logo of Obama is a blue crescent over fallen red and white stripes. The crescent, of course, is the symbol of Islam and blue has come to represent the states that vote Democratic; Red, the states that vote Republican. Blue is allied with Islam with this logo, while the red stripes of the flag (the Red being maintained by Republicans) is ruffled on the ground.

12. What motivates Obama? Why would a junior senator not rather support Mrs. Clinton and put in his time in the Senate and build his reputation? Why does he have to win the Presidency of the US now? Where is all his money coming from? What is his connection to Khalid al-Mansouri? My suspicion: He feels he is on a mission from God:

a) To help facilitate the destruction of the State of Israel.

b) To promote Shia Islam over Sunni Islam.

c) To subordinate the West for the spreading of Islam.

d) Politically, to support a socialist system.

THE KENYAN CONNECTION:

Odinga and Obama both Luo: "We are Taliban"

Obama’s Luo Tribesmen Give Campaign $32 Million

THE QUESTION:

Will Barack Obama usher in the Mahdi?

Where is the money?

It's here.

OBAMACARE: Many of its changes don't kick in until 2014. But the law is forcing dramatic consolidation and reducing choice in the industry...

The Republicans who now control the House of Representatives hope to repeal or defund ObamaCare, but the law has already yielded profound, destructive changes that will not be undone by repeal or defunding alone. Active steps and new laws will be needed to repair the damage.

The most significant change is a wave of frantic consolidation in the health industry. Because the law mandates that insurers accept all patients regardless of pre-existing conditions, insurers will not make money with their current premium and provider-payment structures. As a result, they have already started to raise premiums and cut payments to doctors and hospitals. Smaller and weaker insurers are being forced to sell themselves to larger entities.

Doctors and hospitals, meanwhile, have decided that they cannot survive unless they achieve massive size—and fast. Six years ago, doctors owned more than two-thirds of U.S. medical practices, according to the Medical Group Management Association. By next year, nearly two-thirds will be salaried employees of larger institutions.

Consolidation is not necessarily bad, as larger medical practices and hospital systems can create some efficiencies. But in the context of ObamaCare's spiderweb of rules and regulations, consolidation is more akin to collectivization. It means that government bureaucrats will be able to impose controls with much greater ease.

With far fewer and much larger entities to browbeat, all changes in Medicare and Medicaid policies will go through the entire system like a shock wave. There will be far fewer individual insurers, doctors, hospitals, device makers, drug manufacturers, nursing homes and other health-care players to resist.

There is little mystery how the government will exercise its power. Choices will be limited. Pathways to expensive specialist care such as advanced radiology and surgery will decline. Cutting-edge devices and medicines will come into the system much more slowly and be used much less frequently.

This is why simply defunding enforcement of the individual mandate and other upcoming directives will not be enough: Given all this consolidation, limits on treatment choices are already becoming hardwired into the system. Lawmakers must take concrete steps to stop and reverse this. . .
ObamaCare Is Already Damaging Health Care

While Democrats hail this new law as the greatest medical innovation since the tongue depressor, these 915 waivers may be the most compelling argument against Obamacare yet...

Real Clear Politics: Unequal Protection to Believe In

915 waivers so far!!!

Can anyone say: CRONY CAPITALSIM?
Let me dissent sharply from that conventional wisdom and argue that what talking heads are calling "capitalism" is actually "crony capitalism" and that it is crony capitalism that is responsible for most of our current economic difficulties.

A genuine capitalist economy assumes that each adult individual and business is free to buy and sell anything that they own and then keep the rewards (or suffer the losses) of enterprise. The only legitimate role for government (the political system) is to protect property rights, that is, to enforce contracts and prohibit theft and fraud.

So under capitalism, there would be no price controls on milk or mandates to purchase health insurance; BUT polluters who spill crude oil or corporate bandits like Bernie Madoff who commit blatant frauds would be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Crony capitalism, by contrast, assumes a far, far larger role for government in the economy. . .
Crony Capitalism Is NOT Capitalism

Few protesters in the Middle East connect rising food prices to U.S. monetary policy. But central bankers do...

WSJ: The Federal Reserve Is Causing Turmoil Abroad
In accounts of the political unrest sweeping through the Middle East, one factor, inflation, deserves more attention. Nothing can be more demoralizing to people at the low end of the income scale—where great masses in that region reside—than increases in the cost of basic necessities like food and fuel. It brings them out into the streets to protest government policies, especially in places where mass protests are the only means available to shake the existing power structure.

The consumer-price index in Egypt rose to more than 18% annually in 2009 from 5% in 2006, a more normal year. In Iran, the rate went to 25% in 2009 from 13% in 2006. In both cases the rate subsided in 2010 but remained in double digits.

Egyptians were able to overthrow the dictatorial Hosni Mubarak. Their efforts to fashion a more responsive regime may or may not succeed. Iranians are taking far greater risks in tackling the vicious Revolutionary Guards to try to unseat the ruling ayatollahs.

Probably few of the protesters in the streets connect their economic travail to Washington. But central bankers do. They complain, most recently at last week's G-20 meeting in Paris, that the U.S. is exporting inflation.

China and India blame the U.S. Federal Reserve for their difficulties in maintaining stable prices. The International Monetary Fund and the United Nations, always responsive to the complaints of developing nations, are suggesting alternatives to the dollar as the pre-eminent international currency. . .

Muslim Heritage, My Ass

Barack Obama, during his Cairo speech, said:
I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America's story.
AN AMERICAN CITIZEN'S RESPONSE:

Dear Mr. Obama,


Were those Muslims that were in America when the Pilgrims first landed? Funny, I thought they were Native American Indians.


Were those Muslims that celebrated the first Thanksgiving day? Sorry again, those were Pilgrims and Native American Indians.


Can you show me one Muslim signature on the United States Constitution?


Declaration of Independence?


Bill of Rights?


Didn't think so.


Did Muslims fight for this country's freedom from England? No.


Did Muslims fight during the Civil War to free the slaves in America? No, they did not. In fact, Muslims to this day are still the largest traffickers in human slavery. Your own half brother, a devout Muslim, still advocates slavery himself, even though Muslims of Arabic descent refer to black Muslims as "pug nosed slaves." Says a lot of what the Muslim world really thinks of your family's "rich Islamic heritage," doesn't it Mr. Obama?


Where were Muslims during the Civil Rights era of this country? Not present.


There are no pictures or media accounts of Muslims walking side by side with Martin Luther King, Jr. or helping to advance the cause of Civil Rights.


Where were Muslims during this country's Woman's Suffrage era? Again, not present. In fact, devout Muslims demand that women are subservient to men in the Islamic culture. So much so, that often they are beaten for not wearing the 'hajib' or for talking to a man who is not a direct family member or their husband. Yep, the Muslims are all for women's rights, aren't they?


Where were Muslims during World War II? They were aligned with Adolf Hitler. The Muslim grand mufti himself met with Adolf Hitler, reviewed the troops and accepted support from the Nazi's in killing Jews.


Finally, Mr. Obama, where were Muslims on Sept. 11th, 2001? If they weren't flying planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon or a field in Pennsylvania killing nearly 3,000 people on our own soil, they were rejoicing in the Middle East. No one can dispute the pictures shown from all parts of the Muslim world celebrating on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and other cable news networks that day. Strangely, the very "moderate" Muslims who's asses you bent over backwards to kiss in Cairo, Egypt on June 4th were stone cold silent post 9-11. To many Americans, their silence has meant approval for the acts of that day.


And that, Mr. Obama, is the "rich heritage" Muslims have here in America...Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to mention the Barbary Pirates. They were Muslim.


And don't forget to add November 5, 2009 - the slaughter of American soldiers at Fort Hood by a Muslim major who is a doctor and a psychiatrist who was supposed to be counseling soldiers returning from battle in Iraq and Afghanistan.


That, Mr. Obama is the "Muslim heritage" in America.


MUSLIM HERITAGE, MY ASS!!!

Please keep up your prayers for Said Musa...

Even if the authorities decide to release him, he will be in a precarious situation. His conversion [to Christianity] is now national news in Afghanistan. When/if he is released, he will be exposed to a great many people outside of prison who might try to kill him for his Christian faith. So pray for Said and for a speedy reunion with his family. Pray that he would be a faithful witness for Christ no matter what happens.

When you are finished praying, it will not hurt to send up another Tweet to @BarackObama on Said’s behalf. Here are two messages that you might consider...
Update on Said Musa

From a comment:
One of our church members is a former Muslim who converted to Christianity through the witness of an underground church in a closed middle eastern country. He escaped after enduring much persecution, including multiple beatings and a year in prison. The stories that he tells of what happens to Christians in his country are horrific. He escaped only with scars and the loss of his possessions, but others continue to face death, torture, paralyzation, and much more. In addition to praying for Said Musa, please pray for these many Christians who are persecuted without media coverage.

The American Bar Association (ABA) has decided to undertake the fight for Sharia law...

This teacher is a religious education teacher so it’s his job to teach about all religions. The teacher survived the attack but not without major trauma to his face and skull...

All of this goes on under the guidance of President Obama whose birth records contain red flags the State Department sometimes marks for extra scrutiny.

Is this you???

(It's certainly ME!)

I decide to water my garden.

As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.

As I start toward the garage, I notice mail on the porch table that I brought up from the mail box earlier.

I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.

I lay my car keys on the table, put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table, and notice that the can is full.

So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbage first.

But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.

I take my check book off the table, and see that there is only one check left.

My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to my desk where I find the can of Pepsi I'd been drinking.

I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the Pepsi aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over.

The Pepsi is getting warm, and I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the Pepsi, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye--they need water.

I put the Pepsi on the counter and discover my reading glasses that I've been searching for all morning.

I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to water the flowers.

I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote; someone left it on the kitchen table.

I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I'll be looking for the remote, but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers.

I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on the floor.

So, I set the remote back on the table, get some towels and wipe up the spill.

Then, I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do.

At the end of the day:

The car isn't washed;
The bills aren't paid;
There is a warm can of Pepsi sitting on the counter;
The flowers don't have enough water;
There is still only 1 check in my check book;
I can't find the remote;
I can't find my glasses;
I don't remember what I did with the car keys.

Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all day and I'm really tired!

I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for it, but first I'll check my e-mail...

BREAKING NEWS – North Dakota Senate passes health care nullification bill

BISMARK, N.D. - In a surprising turnaround, the North Dakota Senate passed a health care nullification bill on Friday...

House rejects extra $22 billion in cuts that divided Republicans
By Russell Berman - 02/18/11 02:56 PM ET
The House rejected a measure cutting an additional $22 billion from the Republican spending bill, as conservatives ran into a wall of opposition from the GOP establishment over the depth of reductions to federal funding.

The amendment backed by the conservative Republican Study Committee failed, 147-281, but not before putting the GOP spending divide under a spotlight on the House floor. Authored by RSC chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), the proposal would have dramatically reshaped an appropriations bill that already slashes federal spending by $61 billion over the next seven months.

More than half of the Republican conference backed the measure in opposition to two party chiefs, Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), who voted with every Democrat against it. Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) did not vote, as is traditional for Speakers.

The party’s fourth-ranking member, Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas), supported the measure, as did dozens of Republican freshman. Yet there was division even among the first-term, Tea Party-backed lawmakers. Rep. Kristi Noem (R-S.D.), an elected freshman representative on the leadership team, opposed the bill, while Rep. Austin Scott (R-Ga.), the freshman class president, supported it. . .

Obama's political organization is colluding with special-interest allies across the country to demagogue reform-minded governors who are making the tough choices that the President is avoiding.

Just think–there once was a time (for more than a century, actually), when the president of the United States thought it too imperious to deliver the State of the Union via a speech to a joint session of Congress, since that would smack of telling a co-equal branch of government what to do. Now we have a president not just taking rhetorical sides in a state issue, but actively mobilizing his political organization to affect the outcome(s), even though (to my knowledge) nothing that Gov. Walker or any other belated statehouse cost-cutter is doing has a damned thing to do with federal law.

Bigfoots love Zagnuts!

Animal Planet will be following Michael Greene, a man from Salisbury, NC who claims he saw Bigfoot in the Uwharrie National Forest two years ago. Greene says he has been tracking Bigfoot across the U.S. and Canada, all the way from the Yukon to the Adirondacks, and finally managed to make contact in the Uwharrie National Forest. Greene reportedly lured the Bigfoot out using a Zagnut candy bar (Bigfoots love Zagnuts) and captured a thermal image of the beast. That was enough of a tease for Animal Planet, apparently, who is now sending out a film crew to document Greene’s attempt to find Bigfoot again.

Protect your kids against dog bites


Young children and dog bites

June 15, 2010

Each year 800,000 Americans seek medical attention for dog bites, half of them children. Of those injured, 386,000 require treatment in an emergency department and about 16 die, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Children 5 to 9 years old are the most vulnerable. Not surprisingly, having a dog in the home results in a higher incidence of dog bites. The more dogs, the more likelihood of bad encounters. Adults with two or more dogs in the household are five times more likely to be bitten than those living without dogs at home, says the CDC.

It's important to take precautions if you are considering getting a dog as a pet. Because so many dog bites happen to young children, the ASPCA recommends waiting until your child is at least 10 years old before getting a dog. When you do, the main safety lesson for children is to not chase or tease dogs they know and to avoid dogs they don’t know. (See more child safety tips around animals.)

More tips:

•Don't approach an unfamiliar dog
•If knocked over by a dog, roll into a ball and lie still
•Avoid direct eye contact with a dog
•Do not pet a dog without allowing it to see and sniff you first
•Don't disturb a dog while she's sleeping, eating, chewing on a toy, or caring for puppies
•Don't run from a dog, its natural instinct is to chase you

For more news about and safety tips for avoiding dog bites, read the full Safety blog post.

Shame on Paul Krugman

But Krugman being Krugman, he attaches defense of the dollar to a desire among white people to "build a bridge to the 19th century"; meaning the "grand" old days of slavery. Shame on Paul Krugman for taking such a vicious and unfounded stance, and shame on the New York Times for giving a truly unhinged man such an influential perch from which he can spew such nonsense.

To all those under 30 who worked so hard to get this man elected, know this: he just screwed you over.

He thinks you're fools. Either the US will go into default because of Obama's cowardice, or you will be paying far far more for far far less because this president has no courage when it counts. He let you down. On the critical issue of America's fiscal crisis, he represents no hope and no change. Just the same old Washington politics he once promised to end.

Newsweek's new columnist on Obama's foreign-policy debacle

The Daily Beast: Newsweek's new columnist makes his debut in this week's issue with a cover story on Obama's Egypt debacle and the strategic vacuum it exposes in the White House.

Obama's budget is a ten-year, $1.5 trillion tax hike over present law!

From AMERICANS FOR TAX REFORM:
Tax hike lowlights include:

  • Raising the top marginal income tax rate (at which a majority of small business profits face taxation) from 35% to 39.6%. This is a $709 billion/10 year tax hike

  • Raising the capital gains and dividends rate from 15% to 20%

  • Raising the death tax rate from 35% to 45% and lowering the death tax exemption amount from $5 million ($10 million for couples) to $3.5 million. This is a $98 billion/ten year tax hike

  • Capping the value of itemized deductions at the 28% bracket rate. This will effectively cut tax deductions for mortgage interest, charitable contributions, property taxes, state and local income or sales taxes, out-of-pocket medical expenses, and unreimbursed employee business expenses. A new means-tested phaseout of itemized deductions limits them even more. This is a $321 billion/ten year tax hike

  • New bank taxes totaling $33 billion over ten years

  • New international corporate tax hikes totaling $129 billion over ten years

  • New life insurance company taxes totaling $14 billion over ten years

  • Massive new taxes on energy, including LIFO repeal, Superfund, domestic energy manufacturing, and many others totaling $120 billion over ten years

  • Increasing unemployment payroll taxes by $15 billion over ten years

  • Taxing management capital gains in an investment partnership (“carried interest”) as ordinary income. This is a tax hike of $15 billion over ten years

  • A giveaway to the trial lawyers—not letting companies deduct the cost of punitive damages from a lawsuit settlement. This is a tax hike of $300 million over ten years

  • Increasing tax penalties, information reporting, and IRS information sharing. This is a ten-year tax hike of $20 billion.

How a football coach and the University of Hawaii proved that the Hawaiian state government MUST provide Obama's "vital statistics" to the public

The author, who wishes to remain anonymous, has (with this post) proved that she is the Joan of Arc of the American "birther" movement (and yes, Dr. Orly Taitz is still the "Queen").
So…Who the Hell is June Jones?

Well, that’s what I asked, but you probably already know who he is. He is, of course, way more important to the American public than Barrack Iguana, or whatever his name is. No doubt the calendar month was named after this important public figure. Geez, *slaps you in the head,* he was one of only 120 head football coaches in the NCAA, in 2003! . . .

The fact is, Coach Jones’ case serves as an accurate case precedent under the UIPA [Uniform Information Practices Act] to our own requests for copies of Obama’s vital records. The OIP [Office of Information Practices] was of the opinion that Jones’ contract should be disclosed in its entirety despite UH’s citation of TWO state privacy laws (a.k.a. Exceptions to the UIPA).

Personally, I can think of only two differences that would account for the discrimination that has kept Obama’s vital records from being disclosed: political persuasion OR the fact that Coach Jones is white and Barrack Obama is only partly white. So you tell me, why isn’t President Obama as important as Coach Jones to the public’s interest according to the Hawaii State Government?

Other Invaluable Case Precedent

Below are six other stray footnotes and excerpts taken into consideration by the OIP when deliberating disclosure of records requested under the UIPA. I thought you might find some of them interesting. Just so you know, since 1989, the OIP has issued hundreds of opinions – all of which support the argument that Obama’s vital records should be disclosed to the public under the UIPA. Here are just a few concise points worth noting by me, and the OIP:

New York Times: Pakistan Extends Jailing of American Held in 2 Deaths
Although senior Pakistani officials agree in private that Mr. Davis, who carries a diplomatic passport, is protected by the Vienna Convention, they appear unable or unwilling to enforce the protocol, according to senior American officials.

The civilian government of President Asif Ali Zardari is being assailed daily in the news media about the case, and the cause of the two dead men has been taken up by right-wing religious parties.

The Pakistani military and security apparatus appear to be willing to allow the Davis case to dominate the relationship with Washington for the moment, American and Pakistani officials said. That way, Pakistan can wring concessions on the breadth of the presence of American security officials and contractors in Pakistan, an issue that is at the center of deepening antagonism among the Pakistani public toward the United States, according to the officials.

American officials said that two armed men threatened Mr. Davis when he was driving alone on a busy Lahore road, and that he fired in self-defense.

The statement on Friday night said that Mr. Davis was assigned as an “administrative and technical” member of the staff at the American Embassy in Islamabad. But his exact duties have not been explained, and the reason he was driving alone with a Glock handgun, a pocket telescope and GPS equipment has fueled speculation in the Pakistani news media.

Story by Regis Giles (youngest sister of Hannah Giles who played the prostitute in the ACORN exposé videos):

Words cannot describe how thrilled and excited I was! I finally had my first bear. To this day, I still get jittery just talking about it.

Being able to go hunting in Alaska twice in a year is nothing short of a blessing; especially when you're hunting bears, one of the greatest predators in the world. Although this trip wasn't as physically challenging as last year's (there was an absence of mountain climbing), it still gave me a run for my money. Thankfully I was able to bag a gorgeous black bear on the last day of the hunt, and I couldn't have been more delighted.

Dubunking the leading Obamacare litigation myths

Cory L. Andrews is senior litigation counsel for the Washington Legal Foundation. To date, WLF has filed three briefs in connection with the ObamaCare litigation.

Here are some of the most common myths being peddled in defense of ObamaCare:
Myth #1: “Twelve judges have rejected the notion that ObamaCare is unconstitutional.”

Myth #2: “ObamaCare is merely regulating the insurance industry. What’s the big deal?”

Myth #3: “Judge Vinson’s decision was a classic example of judicial activism.”

Myth #4: “ObamaCare simply delivers on a major campaign promise by President Obama.”

Myth #5: “Judge Vinson declared not just the individual mandate, but the entire ObamaCare law unconstitutional. That shows how radical he is.”

EGYPT IS NOT A SECULAR COUNTRY

From a friend who lives in Cairo:
Ninety percent of the women are veiled by choice. That is not by law, they just choose to be veiled. The legal system is Sharia based, meaning women have virtually no rights to inheritance and are not considered the equal of men in the eyes of the law. They can not petition for divorce, while a man can divorce his wife by saying “I divorce you” three times. The mosques are so over crowded that during the daytime when people can not pray at home they pray on the sidewalks outside the overflowing mosques. Since women can not pray in public, they literally kneel down on the floors of public bathrooms to pray. Most marriages are arranged.

The average Egyptian hates America and detests Israel. A few years ago, the number one song for several months on the Egyptian version of MTV was a ditty entitled “I Hate Israel.”

In the five years that I've been living in Cairo, I have never met a single Egyptian who did not believe that 9/11 was an Israeli/American plot. Not one. Every single Egyptian is a Truther. Every one.

Every Friday after prayers, somewhere in Egypt there is an attack on a Coptic Church or an individual Coptic. Sometimes it’s a large enough attack to make the international news, usually not. But, it is definitely “business as usual” to kill a few Copts every Friday.

As for the Army, who do you think has been running Egypt for the last 50 years? Mubarak was an Army man’s Army man. The new “transitional” leader of Egypt will most likely be a 75 year old Army man in the same mold as Mubarak. The Army has no affection for America. They have affection for the billions of dollars we throw in their direction.

It is not all flowers and balloons and “freedom” and “democracy” in Egypt right now. It is a disaster which will probably lead to a catastrophe.

The elderly, ailing Mubarak was not long for this world before the so-called revolution in Egypt. The Army was well aware of that. Mubarak wanted his son Gamal to succeed him. The Army hates Gamal because they see him as weak. Nothing is more reviled in the Muslim world than weakness.

If none of this had happened, some time in the near future there would have been a bloodless coup to replace Mubarak with a different Army strongman, which is exactly what happened. That is why the Army stood back and let the protestors run wild. The protestors were the useful idiots for the Army and the Army came out smelling like a rose. Everyone is hailing the Army for its “restraint.” That wasn’t “restraint,” it was a tactic to get exactly the outcome they wanted.
UPDATE:
I think the Muslim Brotherhood has been greatly strengthened. On the other hand, the Army does not cotton to the Brotherhood, so that is good thing.

If there is an election in September or any time in the near future the Brotherhood will increase their 20% representation in the Government considerably. Will they win in this upcoming election? No. Will they win if there are future elections? Very likely.

Will they have huge influence over the government starting today? Absolutely.

All this talk about the Brotherhood being a small minority is ridiculous. They are the only organized opposition political party in Egypt. They are cunning. They are smart. They have played their cards well. Not to mention, before the fall of Mubarak, when they were an illegal party they still garnered 20% of the vote. Now they have been given legitimacy by the U.S. Government, they are the only organized political group, there is a power vacuum, and the people of Egypt are going to be very disappointed and disillusioned when they realize they have gotten rid of an 82 year old military dictator and replaced him with a 75 year old military dictator.

Let’s put it this way: things are looking up for the Muslim Brotherhood, but not so much for Israel or the U.S.

The Egyptian, an 82-year-old with terminal cancer, easily bested the community organizer, the man elected by people who quite clearly confused the last presidential election with an American idol contest. While many who elected the American president probably do not yet realize it, it is lucky for them that he lost the showdown, for had he not, the results would have created worldwide havoc and devastation.

4.Plaintiff received a report and an affidavit from a licensed investigator and former Elite Anti Communist proliferation and Anti Organized Crime unit Scotland Yard officer Neil Sankey. (Exhibit 2 A and B)Mr. Sankey’s report and an affidavit, showed that Barack Hussein Obama, the President of the United States (hereinafter “Obama”) is linked in the National databases to some 39 Social Security numbers and multiple addresses. The number he used most often since around 1980 is 042-68-4425. According to Lexis Nexis and Choice Point this number originally was assigned to an elderly individual born in 1890, who resided in CT, but was assumed by Obama from around 1980-1981.

5.The first three digits of the Social Security number signify the state. 042 signifies the state of Connecticut.

6.Obama was never a resident of Connecticut.

7. At the time Obama obtained such Social Security number he was a student, residing in Hawaii.

8.To confirm such findings Taitz obtained an opinion of yet another licensed investigator, Susan Daniels, who attested to the fact that national databases show multiple social security numbers associated with the name Barack Obama, among them CT Social Security number 042-68-4425 used most often. She, also, found that this number was assigned originally to an individual born in 1890. Later, the same number was associated with the birth date 04.08.1961 and 08.04.1961. Dates of 04.08.1961 and 08.04.1961 suggest existence of some documents, created using an European system of dating: Day, Month, Year, versus the American system of Month, day, Year. Exhibit 1,

9.In and around 1976-1977 due to new Social Security requirements multiple elderly individuals, particularly women, who were housewives and never worked before, applied for Social Security numbers in order to obtain Social Security Benefits, therefore date of birth of 1890 originally connected to 042-68-4425 was consistent with many other examples of elderly individuals, born between 1890-1915, applying for Social Security cards for the first time between 1976-1977.

10.National Databases such as Lexis-Nexis and Choice Point show another Social Security number, originally assigned to an elderly individual, being connected to the name Barack Obama.

11.This social security 485-40-5154 is noteworthy, as it was assigned to Lucille I Ballantyne, born 12.22.1912, deceased 09.13.1998

12. Ms. Ballantyne was the mother of Harry C. Ballantyne, Chief Actuary of the Social Security administration, who had access to all Social Security databases and death indices.

13.Obama’s selective service certificate verification, readily available on the world wide web, shows a complete match with the number 042-68-4425, therefore verification of Obama’s use of this number since 1980. Exhibit 4

14.Taitz verified this data with the third investigator, retired Senior Investigator with the Department of Homeland Security John Sampson.

15.Mr. Sampson provided Taitz with an affidavit, stating that according to his investigation, the number Obama is using most of his life, is indeed a CT Social Security number. Mr. Sampson provided an expert opinion, that there is no reasonable explanation for one residing in HI to get a CT social security number. Exhibit 3.

16.At the same time Taitz found that the National Databases show different dates of birth for Obama: 08.01.1961 and 08.04.1961.

17.Recently released passport records for Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham, show that Obama was listed in her passport under a name Soebarkah. (Exhibit 5)

18.AP report from Indonesia, where Obama resided, show Obama’s Elementary school record, showing him using last name of his adopted father Soetoro, citizenship Indonesian, religion Islam. Obama denies all three facts.

19.Recently Neil Abercrombie, Governor of HI, in an interview to Honolulu Star Advertiser admitted that he was not able to locate the original birth certificate for Obama, only a notation by someone in archives, that some record exist, though no actual original certified long form U.S. birth certificate was ever found for Obama.

20.Obama provided the public only a short form Certification of live birth created in 2007, right before the election, which does not contain any essential information, which typically would be found in the original long form birth certificate, such as the name of the hospital, the name of the attending physician and signatures, The state of HI statute 338-17 allows a foreign born child of HI resident to obtain HI birth certificate.

21.The state of HI statute 338-5 allows one to obtain a birth certificate based on a statement of one relative only without any corroborating evidence from any hospital.

22.The state of HI statute 338-6 allows one to get a late birth certificate, obtained as a result of adoption or loss of an original birth certificate,

23.Numerous reports, claiming that prior Governor of HI Linda Lingle examined Obama’s birth certificate were false as well. Lingle’s interview reveals that she relied on a statement of former Director of HI Health Department Chiyome Fukino, but Lingle never personally saw a birth certificate for Obama.

24.Chiyome Fukino made a statement that there is a record in Hawaii, however she never provided any information, what record exists there. A record created pursuant to statute 338-5, 338-6 or 338-17 would not be sufficient to establish one’s birth in HI.

25.There were reports of newspaper articles, announcing Obama’s birth in HI. Follow up research did not uncover any such article anywhere. Nobody ever found any actual newspapers, announcing Obama’s birth. Only a microfiche image was found. There is no evidence, verifying when this image was created. Even if one were to believe that such news paper announcement actually existed, it still did not verify Obama’s birth in HI, as a newspaper article is not a prima facie evidence of birth and it could have been created based on a birth certificate, created under statute 338-5 and statute 338-17.

26.As above information showed that Obama does not possess either a long form birth certificate or a Social Security number of his own, Taitz filed a FOIA request for the Social Security number application for CT social security number 042-68-4425, which was issued in CT around 1977 to an elderly individual born in 1890 and later assumed by Obama.

27.Taitz agreed to accept a redacted application, which was denied.

28.In March of 2010 Taitz filed an appeal and obtained a final determination on May 18, 2010, when her SSA FOIA appeal was denied by Jonathan R Canthor, Executive Director, Office of Privacy and Disclosure of the Social security Administration. Exhibit 6.

29.Taitz appealed to the U.S. District Court, District of Columbia 1:2010-cv-00151, Chief Judge of the DC Circuit, Judge Royce Lamberth.

30.Court denied the appeal, citing that the court appeal was filed prior to the final disposition by the agency and the privacy considerations.

31.In and around September 2010, Senior Deportation officer of the Department of Homeland Security (Ret) John Sampson provided an affidavit, where he stated that in situations, where there is a release of the FOIA request for the SS-5 application for the Social Security number, which is suspected to be illegally used by one, who is not the original applicant, routinely government agencies request partial information in order to ascertain, whether indeed the number is fraudulently used. Such information includes: gender of the applicant, zip code, where the Social Security card was sent, race of the applicant. Such information is general enough as not to reveal the identity of the applicant, but on the other hand, it is helpful in identifying fraudulent use of the Social Security number.

32.On October 4, 2010 Taitz filed yet another FOIA request with the Social Security Administration. Exhibit 7. This request was received by the Social Security Administration on October 8, 2010. Six certified mail receipts of the Certified Mail requests are attached (Exhibit 8, 9).

33. In her FOIA request Taitz asked for the following information on several SSA-5 forms: (a) Request for clarification, why SSA-5 form for Stanley Ann Dunham, deceased mother of Barack Hussein Obama, which was filled out in 1959, shows form revision date 7/65. (b) Taitz asked for the dates of the SSA-5 form revision dates (c) Limited information regarding SSA-5 042-68-4425, such as zip code to which the original form was mailed, gender of the applicant and date of the application. (d) SS-5 application for Margaret Bossing 042-68-4437 born January 7 1896, death 1982, SS card issued in 1977 (e) SS-5 application for Antoinette Demo born May 30 1890, died April 1979, Social Security card issued between 1977-1979 in Danbury Connecticut. (f) requested information whether another individual assisted those elderly individuals: Margaret Bossing and Antoinette Demo in processing of the Social Security SS-5 applications, Taitz requested the name of the individual, who filled out the cards and the name of the individual, who processed them (g) Taitz provided a sworn affidavit of a licensed investigator Susan Daniels, showing that in national databases the name of Barack Obama is linked to SSN 485-40-5154, which is traced to Lucille T Ballantyne born 12.22.1912, deceased 09.13.1998, the mother of the Chief Actuary of the Social Security administration Harry C Ballantyne. In light of this fact Taitz requested information whether Harry C Ballantyne, Chief Actuary of the Social Security Administration, made any changes or alterations or additions to the Social Security records 485-40-5154 and/or 042-68-4425, 042-68-4426 and/or 042-68-4427. In a separate letter Taitz requested for the SSA application for deceased Thomas Wood, SS number 042-68-4424. SSA acknowledged Taitz requests, however no information was ever provided and no denial of the request was ever received in 120 days.

34.In December of 2010 and January 2011 Taitz sent two follow up certified mail letters, where she stated that she treated lack of requested information as a denial and she demanded that SSA grant her FOIA request or officially deny it. None was received. As such SSA is in violation of the 5 U.S. §552 and Taitz requests an order and adjudication from this Honorable Court, directing Mr. Michael Astrue, Commissioner of the Social Security Administration to provide Taitz the information requested.

35.Plaintiff alleges on information and belief that:
Pursuant to the Freedom and Information Act, 5 U.S.C.§552(a)(3), Plaintiff has a right of access to the documents requested, and Defendant has no legal basis for their actions in withholding the right of access to such documents.

Plaintiff has exhausted its administrative remedies as provided in the Freedom of Information Act and Agency regulations.

Wherefore, Plaintiff Prays this court:

1.To take jurisdiction over this case;
2.To order Defendants to release the requested documents to Plaintiff;
3.To grant such other and further relief as the court may deem proper and just
