One thing I know about the democrats is that nothing is what it seems - ever.
Did anyone notice a democrat who hates America was in the white house when this happened? Something that destroys America around the world is now "leaked" - has anyone noticed the strategery of leaking info in the news always suits some democrat purpose?
Do you really think it's an accident?
Republicans take the house and over the US government and all of a sudden there's a huge security breach that requires Obama and the government to take away more freedoms.......anyone think it's an accident?
Just pondering - I don't trust the democrats as far as I can throw them.....
WIKILEAKS HELPS OBAMA FULFILL CAMPAIGN PROMISES!
You know, I seem to remember Obama saying he was going to run the most transparent government with access by the US people - I think this guy Assange is just helping Obama keep a promise. I'm starting to wonder if Assange is a part of the Obama Administration Cabinet or campaign staff. I wouldn't be surprised actually. Why does this stuff always seem to happen on the demcorat watch? Clinton lost nuke codes and secrets....Obama let a kenyan into the white house and a few hundred thousand classified cables......
Gay Flight Attendant Humor
My flight was being served by an obviously gay flight attendant, who seemed to put everyone in a good mood as he served us food and drinks.
As the plane prepared to descend, he came swishing down the aisle and told us "Captain Marvey has asked me to announce that he'll be landing the big scary plane shortly, so lovely people, if you could just put your trays up, that would be super."
On his trip back up the aisle, he noticed an extremely well-dressed and exotic young woman hadn't moved a muscle. "Perhaps you didn't hear me over those big brute engines but I asked you to raise your trazy-poo, so the main man can pitty-pat us on the ground."
She calmly turned her head and said, "In my country, I am called a Princess and I take orders from no one."
To which the flight attendant replied, without missing a beat, "Well, sweet-cheeks, in my country I'm called a Queen, so I outrank you. Tray up, Bitch."

Thoughts on the Wikileaks.....
Since we know that the Saudis are funding Al Qaeda - I think it's time we dig in our own backyard and pay ourselves for our own oil instead of funding terror through our gasoline purchases - and - since Saudi Arabia wants Iran toppled - maybe they can send Al Qaeda to do it.......
I'm amazed how seriously the US Government is taking the leaks because it "puts lives in danger" but the same government - still - won't prosecute black men for threatening white voters at a polling station over their race.....or discharge a muslim army psychiatrist because he's not white who goes on a shooting rampage.....all because they are concerned about lives being in danger and are concerned about equality - just the politics are sickening and so corrupt.
I never thought I'd feel this way about my government - but I just don't trust the guys at the top this time around.

Choline and Fatty Liver
I've been writing about non-alcoholic fatty liver disorder (NAFLD) since the early days of this blog, because it's an alarmingly common disorder (roughly a quarter of Americans affected) that is typically undiagnosed. It often progresses into its more serious cousin non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), an inflammatory condition that causes liver damage and can progress to cancer. In a number of previous posts, I pinpointed excess sugar and seed oil consumption as culprits in NAFLD and NASH (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).
Chris Masterjohn recently published two very informative posts on NAFLD/NASH that add a major additional factor to the equation: choline (6, 7). Choline is an essential nutrient that's required for the transport of fat out of the liver (8). NAFLD can be caused, and cured, simply by removing or adding dietary choline, and it appears to be dominant over other dietary factors including fat, sugar and alcohol. Apparently, certain researchers have been aware of this for some time, but it hasn't entered into the mainstream consciousness.
Could that be because the richest dietary sources are liver and eggs*? Choline is also found in smaller amounts in a variety of whole animal and plant foods. Most people don't get the officially recommended amount. From a recent review article (9):
Head over to Chris's blog and read about the classic studies he unearthed. And add The Daily Lipid to your RSS reader, because there's more interesting material to come!

Mean choline intakes for older children, men, women, and pregnant women are far below the adequate intake level established by the [Institute of Medicine]. Given the importance of choline in a wide range of critical functions in the human body, coupled with less-than-optimal intakes among the population, dietary guidance should be developed to encourage the intake of choline-rich foods.I've dubbed beef liver the Most Nutritious Food in the World, Nature's Multivitamin, and I'll probably invent other titles for it in the future. Add yours to the comments. Learn to love liver! I think it's an excellent food to eat on a weekly basis.

Wikileaks Show Obama Not Natural Born Citizen of US!!!
I'm laughing at the idiot holding a press conference over the wikileaks scandal. This guy can be made to blink and have his strings pulled so damned easily!
You don't go out on a press conference after a classified material leak! This isn't Dancing with the Stars or a soap opera where you protect your reputation and maintain popularity! - you keep your mouth shut - and head down and get to work and meet with people individually or release your own classified info on others. You ignore it! Man this guy is a moron! You leak your own stuff about the sex life of the wikileaks guy! SOMETHING other than a press conference.
Oh wait - his TelePrompTer will be doing to talking so we're safe.
Nothing in this world a teleprompter can't solve, right BHO? How about this "TelePrompTers for Peace!" or "TelePrompTers for cancer research." If only we had more of them!

Leslie Nielsen Died!!!! (Surely you must be kidding!)
I *loved* his sense of humor - that and he was a conservative even starring in "An American Carol." I'm always one up for the dry sense of humor or just the ridiculous. I first came to love him in "The Naked Gun" series - but - wow. (And please stop calling me Shirly).
I wonder what he would say about his own funeral? At any rate, him and Mel Brooks are two of my favorites in so many ways - but Mel Brooks isn't dead yet.
Rest in peace.

Mexican Raw Stew
This was suggested by a reader, Gigi, and boy is it good! Her description is given in the comments of this post. This is the first time I liked a raw soup. Today I tried the Mexican version. Next time I'll try her Italian style. I varied it a bit from her description, so you might want to compare.
Ingredients:
2 medium tomatoes or one 16-oz can of tomatoes (from the garden if you are so fortunate)
1/2 large cucumber or 1 small
1 large celery stalk
2 medjool dates, or 3 tsp date syrup
1 head romaine lettuce (or similar amounts of spinach or kale, or mixture)
1 small leek or piece of onion (optional)
1/2-1 clove garlic (optional)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
juice from 1/4 lime
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp chili powder
red bell pepper, chopped
1 can pinto or black beans
1-2 cups frozen sweet corn
chopped celery (optional)
The base is the tomatoes, celery, cucumber and dates. Blend these in the blender, but do not use high speed. Let it stay a little chunky. Add in the greens, spices, garlic, onion, lime juice, and cilantro and blend some more, not at high power. You can pour the stew into bowls and add the chopped bell pepper, celery, beans, and corn. Or mix it all up in a big bowl. Here' s a serving with everything mixed in:
I really liked this. One thing I'd like to do different next time is substitute a fruit for the dates. I'm thinking frozen mango (or fresh and ripe if you are so fortunate) or maybe an apple or pear? I might not use garlic if I add fruit. Also, I really like purple cabbage as we get it locally and it's downright sweet. I wonder if I could add this in. It might not have enough liquid though. The romaine is nice because it's tender and full of water. I also think I'll add some seeds. I hope to experiment a lot with this!
Thanksgiving pudding
If I named this according to the ingredients, it probably wouldn't be as appealing (mashed carrots and bananas anyone?). But this is super easy and for me, as yummy as pumpkin pie. This was inspired by a couple of other recipe ideas: A reader of this blog pointed out that she likes using steamed carrots rather than canned pumpkin in her Thanksgiving desserts. Well, we get really good local (sweet) carrots here so I thought that is a great idea! And a recipe on the Fuhrman forums uses banana instead of dates as a sweetener so I thought I'd try that.
Ingredients:
2 large carrots, steamed until tender
1 very ripe banana
1/2 oz chopped walnuts
pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon to taste (about 1/4 tsp?).
Mash the carrots, banana and spice with a fork. Stir in the walnuts. Eat heated or cooled. If you want it sweeter, add some date syrup (or dates soaked in water and mashed). This will probably be a weekend treat for a while.
guacamole & chips
This is a good game-day treat.
Here are the ingredients:
That's:
Sprouted corn tortillas, about 4
an avocado (only the pit is remaining in the picture)
Then just a little bit of these:
scallion
cilantro
lime juice
tomato (from a can or fresh)
pinto or black beans (optional)
Here they are before mixing. You can see the amounts I used are pretty small:
Here's another version without beans or tomatoes, before smashing:
Mash it up with a fork. Cut up the tortillas, toast in the oven at 350 F for about 5-10 minutes. Watch carefully at the end.
Yum!

Maxipad detector? On! TSA Suspects Feminine Hygeine!
http://www.prisonplanet.com/sanitary-towel-prompts-tsa-to-grope-sexual-assault-victim.html
You know - if you would like to think "Ah, none of this stuff could happen in American where our government turns against us" - think again. It's already happened in Europe and in other countries less-civilized than Germany, and Stanley Milgram already proved it could happen here. People simply following orders....in the Milgram Experiment.
One of the lessons my parents drove home to me again and again before I enlisted was to remember the concept of my moral values and to learn the difference between a lawful and unlawful order and to never ever under any circumstances surrender my values. The movie "A Few Good Men" was about this very concept.
I can tell you, having never compromised my values and having faced trial and imprisonment for following orders and training and refusing to back down - standing by what you know to be right is better than compromising your values.
So now we live in a time where moral discretion is required. Some will say "We are just following orders" others will say "It's in the name of safety" and others still "values are relative - who are you to say?"
To which I say "Who am I to remain silent? If I won't speak up - who will?"
I know this country better than the immigrants who've come over here. A 15th generation American on one side and a second generation on the other and have served my country in harms way and been around the world - what DONT I know that makes me unqualified to speak out? I assure you I know my country better than what it's portrayed in the news. I also have been personally responsible for the very security TSA carries out including searching luggage and checking aircraft for bombs and performing anti-hijacking routines and have responded to a hostage situation or two.....how am I unqualified?
Speaking out doesn't mean we want the overthrow of our country - and don't confuse us conservatives with the liberals with whom that's exactly what they want as they replace the will of the people with the whims of a government under the guise of solving everything while we will just have to cope with the things that aren't solved. We only want to make sure that the principles that made this country free remain in place because that's the only way we will remain free.
Liberals believe in a breathing living constitution. Yes it is - but you can only change it so far before the freedoms and frameworks that made us free are lost and we fall - as all nations do - progressively into slavery - all under the guise of hope and change.
And let me tell you this - I can't name a time in history where freedoms were taken and taken and then surrendered from the government back to the people without a revolution of some sort. So - where's all this headed?
I can tell my fellow Americans this - if you don't like waiting in line at the airport - learn to fly yourself. I'm serious. I did . You can buy your own aircraft if you wish - much cheaper than you think - I used to be into aircraft sales. Or simply teleconference. Or drive. Write your congressmen. But - keep speaking out. But I do wonder where the feminists are on this one - including NOW.
Obama Lies About Oregon - And Has Plans For Us!
Friend --(Not your friend)While the national results weren't what we'd hoped for in this fall's elections, Oregon managed to buck the trend. Thanks to your hard work, we've elected John Kitzhaber as governor, held every Democratic House and Senate seat, and laid a strong foundation for the fights ahead. (outright lie - the democrats lost a ton of ground in the Oregon legislature as well - AND - Oregonians voted that the state legislature needed to meet more often too - giving the republicans even more power)
In order to prepare for what's next, we need to make sure we understand exactly what happened this cycle. (I'll simplify it, Oregon's economy relies heavily on government subsidy in the Willamette Valley where all our schools are located, and most of our population is here, and you guys were idiots with the two years you were given - are you effing kidding me? You're going to a town hall to understand what happened? You have pollsters for this kind of stuff....talk about a touchy feely reach - you don't need a town hall to understand what happened - it's pretty damned obvious - that and Oregonians are idealists - ignorant idealists - the only thing I'll give us is that we don't have a stupid sales tax) That's why this Thursday evening, Organizing for America and the Democratic Party of Oregon are holding an important debriefing in Beaverton -- and you're invited. (Obamabots will be receiving marching orders)
We'll be gathering at the Washington County Democrats office to listen to your thoughts about this election, talk about what we learned, and discuss ways to stay involved as we continue to move Oregon -- and the country -- forward.
Can you make it? Here are the details:
What: Oregon 2010 debriefing (Obamabots marching orders - this is a setup to cure this phenomenon in the video which shows Portland Oregon right here).
Obama Win Causes Obsessive Supporters To Realize How Empty Their Lives Are

Terrorist Attack Thwarted Here In Portland Oregon!
Wow - right here in Portland - going to set off a car bomb for the tree lighting at pioneer square this evening.I'm kind of surprised a terrorist would want to attack Portland - them being sympathizers to terrorism and all that jazz with the Gayor of the city, Sam Adams, a pedophile into teen boys.
Unless the terrorists want to blow up the lesbian capitol of the world with its pedophile gayor.....
But blowing something up at a tree lighting ceremony? Talk about the grinch!
Now - let me ask you this....what would happen in the arab world were a christian to yell "CHRIST LIVES!" as he gunned down people during the hajj and their Mecca Lighting Ceremony? Hm? They'd get their robes and turbans so in a knot - worse than they already are. Evil religion I tell you. It's evil - any thing that inspires this is evil - blowing up festivities of innocents with women and children....of course you have to look their religion uses women and children as shields and body armor so no surprise.

MEXICAN GOVERNMENT SUPPORTING ILLEGALS ON US SOIL!!!!!
Sent to me by Robin.
What is a Matricula Consular card? Matricula Consular cards are identification cards issued by the Mexican government to mainly illegal immigrants living in the United States . Currently, more than 350 financial institutions accept Matricula Consular cards as proof of identification thereby allowing thousands of illegal immigrants to have access to mainstream U.S. financial services.

KEEP READING
The Santa Ana, CA, Mexican Consulate setup a mobile Mexican Matricula Consular ID center on UNITED STATES PUBLIC SCHOOL PROPERTY - Capistrano School District at the Adult English Language Development Center located at 31351 Camino Real, San Juan Capistrano, CA .
The fee is $27 per matricula consular application.
When the Minutemen arrived at the Capistrano School District Adult School there was a hub of activity. A mobile Mexican Consulate center was in full swing.
Legal resident Mexicans have U.S. issued green cards, for identification.
Mexican Consulate Mobile Matricula Consular Center
Mexican Nationals in the U.S. ILLEGALLY do NOT have a green card and therefore need a Mexican matricula consular identification card - matricula means: of a like group and consular means: from a consulate.
Mexican government ID transactions on U.S. public school property
Box of matricula consular application forms on US public school property
One Minuteman
After the Minutemen had been onsite for about an hour and a half, the mobile center was shut down - above photo.
Once Minutemen began to observe and report, documenting and photographing. The Mexican Nationals no longer ventured forth to the center and many, who had been in attendance, left the mobile center.
MEXICAN DIPLOMAT TELLS MINUTEMEN - LEAVE!
The Mexican diplomat, above, would not give us her business card nor her name
The Mexican diplomat, above, approached the Minutemen as the Minutemen were peacefully strolling about- on United States public school property - observing and taking photos of the event.
Minutewoman - peacefully assembling on public school property
The Mexican diplomat repeatedly said, "This a private event for Mexicans only.You cannot be here.I am telling you nicely as I do not want to call the police. Please leave."
Minutemen assembled on U.S. school property
Minuteman Project National Rally Spokesman Raymond Herrera said to the Mexican diplomat, "No, we will not leave. We are guaranteed freedom of assembly under OUR Constitution."
I said to the diplomat, "The U.S. should adopt Mexico 's immigration policy."
"Oh," she agreed. " Mexico has a very good immigration policy."
Mexican diplomat south side of the mobile center
The Mexican diplomat was particularly vexed by our photographing of the event. " DO NOT TAKE PHOTOS," she commanded repeatedly.?
Minutemen stated that in the USA , we have the right to photograph in public.
"No, you cannot take photos," she insisted. Herrera and the diplomat then entered into a lengthy discussion in Spanish.
GANG MEMBER with application in hand
The man, above photo, displayed gang hand signals and yelled out "THIS IS OUR TERRITORY!" The Mexican diplomat witnessed and seemingly approved of the gang member at the "Mexican Only" event.
He appeared to be filling out an application - in his left hand above. Many have informally been told that in the Hispanic community only gang members wear black shoes. Note in the photo above, the only man in black shoes is the self-professed gang member.
DIPLOMAT ASSAULTS!
The Minutewoman, above, had been quietly photographing...
Photo by Deb - Mexican Diplomat has a matricula consular card in her hand
Suddenly the door above opened, and the Mexican diplomat, came out yelling. The photo above is just before she lashed out.
To our utter amazement, the diplomat started to strike out at the Minutewoman! We were in a state of shock. As she yelled, she struck across the Minutewoman's lower right jaw and lip, several times.
The Minutewoman above, in her left hand, used her sign as a shield, while pulling her camera back from the assaulting Mexican diplomat
Ten minutes after the assault the Minutewoman still had a "stinging" sensation on her lip and jaw area.
POLICE ARRIVE
Police arrived after the assault.
The police said they had been called by the consulate as they had reported that the Minutemen were inside the building yelling and pushing about. We never entered the building and had been quietly moving outside, on school property.
Herrera spoke with officers then requested they interview the diplomat.
Per the officer's request, the diplomat came forward.
"They must leave," she said to the officer. But the officer replied, "No, this is a public school and they can be here."
The diplomat then said that we must stop photographing them.
"Ma'am," the officer informed her, "You are in a public area and they can photograph."
The officer then asked her, "Do you have the paperwork to use this facility."
"Yes," she replied.
"I would like to see it," the officer said,
"I don't have the paperwork with me," she said back to him.
"I would like to see your identification, " the officer said.
"No, you can't," she said to the officer. The officer at this point followed her inside of the building.
"I have no identification with me. I did not drive,"she finally said as the officer pursued the issue. At this point, the door shut and the officer remained inside of the building.
OFFICER ON THE PHONE
After the officer spoke with the diplomat, he returned to his vehicle and spoke on his cell phone for about 15 to 20 minutes.
After he hung up, he met with us. He said the consulate did not have paperwork but that he had spoken to the individual who had granted the use of the school. He said that we could continue to assemble on the school property.
He appeared sympathetic about the Minutewoman assault, but said the Mexican Consulate staff had diplomatic immunity.
CONSULAR VEHICLE

Hey - Mexicans:
If anyone doesn't remember, Mexico surrendered much of its land to the US when Santa Anna begged for his life after he got his ass handed to him by a bunch of volunteer militia from Texas and they agreed to accept the land in exchange for not killing him at the Battle of San Jacinto in 1836 after the Mexican State of Texas rebelled against Mexico and declared independence - and then - decided to join the Union. It ain't your land and hasn't been for 174 years.
