Lights out, clocks spring forward for Earth Hour
By Scott Ott, Examiner Columnist
Actor Ed Norton, the Earth Hour 2009 U.S. Ambassador, today announced that, in addition to ordering all citizens and businesses to extinguish lights at 8:30 Saturday night, he has also signed an “ambassador order” calling for all clocks to move ahead one hour each night for the rest of the Obama administration.

Scott, your one jump ahead of me. When I heard about that story on talk radio this morning my brain went into overdrive then crashed from over stimulation.
Bravo and I hope other readers will know what you are talking about. Right now I have to figure out why my computer is running Spanish ads and turning my blog site into Mexican languages.
I do believe my computer has been invaded

Scott, is this man related to you?
Suburban Philadelphia ice cream shop owner Bob Gerenser, 56, believes global warming is based on faulty science and calls Earth Hour “nonsense.”
The resident of New Hope, Pa., and owner of Gerenser’s Exotic Ice Cream planned to illuminate his store with extra theatrical lighting.
“I’m going to get everyone I know in my neighborhood to turn on every light they possibly can to waste as much electricity as possible to underline the absurdity of this action … by being absurd,” he said.

RAM,
a) I did not see your response
b) Farakaan is a nut case. I was unaware that he had made such a reference but, now that I am i can amend my statement to “conservatives AND nutcases” and sometimes they overlap
c) your thinly veiled racist comments continue unabated and to my mind render most any of your ranting about this President moot as they are not “performance based” so much as “hatred based”. My rants against George for lo these many years were strictly performance based
d) Obama has already done many things I don’t like and you’ve seen me rail aganst them. I promise to continue because, as I’ve mentioned 89 of 90 times before I’m affiliated with neither party, they both do appaling things much to often to garner any long term respect. This whole bailout is a prime example, both parties are very responsible and I don’t approve of either ones approach. That being said, I do want to give a different approach a shot. Obama represented that difference whereas McCain did not. Thus my second in a lifetime vote for a winner. Reagan was the first…
Anything I didn’t clear up well enough for you?

As far as the “lights out” for Earth Day, I’m going to follow Rush’s lead, and turn all my lights ON. And, to the phonies and hypocrites who continue their “manmade global warming” whining, I again submit this question: “What human activity ended the last Ice Age?” To date, liberal global-warming hoax believers have not provided an answer to this question.

Re “What human activity ended the last Ice Age?” I’m afraid our tendency to entirely discount research if the majority of it is shown to be bad has blinded us to the tiny glimmers of sound evidence dealing with your question. I’m not sure if it made it into his book or slide show, but Al Gore and his disciples seem quite convinced that [this] unequivocally answers your question.
29 Fred Sinclair // Mar 28, 2009 at 10:32 am
da Bunny #26 - Good to hear from you! Like yourself and a few million others in America -at 20:30 hrs (8:30 P.M.) all of my lights will be ON including the one over my kitchen stove.
The human activity that ended the last “ice age” was brought about by a nice lady in what’s now called northern Germany (or northeastern France). She got tired of rubbing two sticks together to make her cooking fire, so she mixed up some sulphur, phosphorus and potassium nitrate (saltpeter). put some on the end of a little stick and when her husband came home from a hard days work, the cooking fire was blazing merrily.
How did you do that? he asked; she replied, “I invented this little thingy. I’m going to call it a ‘kitchen match’ and when I lit it, the glaciers began to melt, so tomorrow I’m going to plant some sweet peas, tomatoes, lettuce and green onions right over there where the glacier was yesterday.” and of course her husband Og exclaimed “Right on, baby, right on!”
And that’s the facts, da Bunny, and my facts are just as valid, true and verifiable as scamster algore’s “Manmade Global Warming” hoax. so now you know the true story, answering your question. (you’re welcome).

But Congress refused to listen, along with the arrogant Congressman, Barney Frank. This video says it all. The liberal media reportedly did not want this video on You Tube; it was taken off.

His $20m trip to visit the Queen is already raising eyebrows. He’s like a 16 yr old kid with a bottle of whiskey and keys to his Dad’s new car.

Obama gets list of top Muslim Americans
Denver Post Wire Report
Posted: 03/27/2009 12:30:00 AM MDT
http://www.denverpost.com/headlines/ci_12006596
CHICAGO - In a bid to get more Muslim Americans working in the Obama administration, a book with resumes of 45 of the nation’s most qualified - Ivy League grads, Fortune 500 executives and public servants, all carefully vetted - has been submitted to the White House.
The effort, driven by community leaders and others, including U.S. Rep.
Keith Ellison, D-Minn., was bumped up two weeks because White House officials heard about the venture, said J. Saleh Williams, program coordinator for the Congressional Muslim Staffers Association, who sifted through more than 300 names.
“It was mostly under the radar,” Williams said. “We thought it would put (the president) in a precarious position. We didn’t know how closely he wanted to appear to be working with the Muslim American community.”
45 Fred Sinclair // Mar 29, 2009 at 12:50 am
ola #44 - As I pointed out in an earlier e-mail:
Wow! What a surprise!! This is akin to learning that water is wet, snowballs are cold, fire is hot, etc. A Muslim is always a Muslim first; vetted or not.
What is really surprising is that instead of his payoff appointments to his Cabinet that have proven to be stupid. I’m nonplussed as to why he didn’t appoint his entire cabinet from the list of 45. (”….resumes of 45 of the nation’s most qualified - Ivy League grads, Fortune 500 executives and public servants, all carefully vetted - has been submitted to the White House.)

P.S. Perhaps he didn’t make the appointments from the ‘list of 45′ because it might not look very good to have his entire Cabinet ‘all carefully vetted’ when he himself has NEVER been “vetted”.

OLA re#44: You didn’t mention the other member of Congress that is a Muslim, Rep. Andre’ Carson (D) 7th district Indiana.
The seat was held for years by his granny, Julia Carson (D) Indianapolis, IN, until she died and left the seat to her grandson in her “will”, and it was enforced by the local Dems with tons of money help from the DNC.
A REAL interesting story for those who don’t know it. Rep. Andre Carson (Muslim Dem) Indiana 7th District, was an excise cop in Indianapolis only a few years ago when granny Julia, who had been sick for many years, (mostly caused by her alcohol use), missed MANY, MANY votes but would not step down and give up her POWER in the House, came back to Indianapolis and managed to get a “friend” on the Indianapolis City/County Council thrown from office for living out of his district, (Patrice Abdullah, actually it was across the street from the boundry), and they “slipped in” Andre as his replacement on the Council, so he would have some “political experience”. Then in only a few months, granny dies and Andre is ran as her replacement, touting his “experience on the Council”, (all of about 2 or 3 months TOTAL!), and with a TON of cash from the DNC!
Wow, sounds a LOT like the Obama story, doesn’t it?
Of course with the “Julia Carson get-out-the-homeless-and-drug/alcoholic-vote-machine”, he won. I know for a fact that the local AFL-CIO headquarters helped out with rosters sent to local unions with members info, how they are registered, and “volumteers” are told to ONLY go to Democrat homes to offer rides. Then it is back to AFL-CIO headquarters for a KFC dinner!
I have already seen he and Obama have become close friends. They probably attend the same “worship” services!
By the way, Andre uses of of those things after the “e” in his name. Do they call them an umlaute?
Anyway, it’s real fancy for a Muslim.
With Keith Ellison, and Obama, that now makes three—right?
PS: Julia has another grandson that she raised. He is doing hard time for torchering and killing a gay man. It was pretty brutal.
Maybe Andre’ can have Obama pardon him?
I bet there is some cabinet post job available for an upstanding young murderer like this?
48 R.A.M. // Mar 29, 2009 at 8:47 am
Before the trolls come out asking for links to back any of this up, here is their favorite source:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9_Carson
It tells something I didn’t know, that Steny Hoyer and Nasty “Nan” Pelosi gave 4K of their campaign funds to help him get elected. And he was endorsed by Senator Evan Bayh and Louis Farrakhan.
Now there is the REAL odd couple!
This is a quote from Wiki: “In June 2008, he announced he was joining the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Equality Caucus of the U.S. House, chaired by U.S. Representative Barney Frank (D-MA).”
Gee, I wonder if Barney knows about his cousin’s hatred of gays? I wonder where he learned it from? Surely not ole Julia?
That might mean the “other grandson”/cousin, (that was raised by the same granny), might be a “homophobe” too!
Bet he don’t call him out like he did Scalia if that is found to be true!

LETTER FROM THE BOSS…..
As the CEO of this organization, I have resigned myself to the facts, that Barrack Obama is our President and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way. To compensate for these increases, our prices would have to increase by about 10%.
But since we cannot increase our prices right now due to the dismal state of the economy, we will have to lay off our employees instead. This has really been bothering me, since I believe we are family here and I didn’t know how to choose who would have to go.
So, this is what I did. I walked through our parking lot and found ‘Obama’ bumper stickers on our employees’ cars and have decided these folks will be the ones to let go. I can’t think of a fairer way to approach this problem. They voted for change, I’m giving it to them.

I guess that not too many people know that the Red River flows from south to north and that when the incredible amount of snow pack and ice that accumulated this past winter began to melt, the ice jams compounded the problems of a shallow-banked river area. To face the further eight to 13 inches of new snow now adds insult to injury.
