Two years ago, already

September 4, 2009.
I was having some digestive issues. Got an appointment with my doctor.
He did some pushing and listening. Then had me go through a CT scan.
Waited..............
Went in for the results.
Good news, diverticulitis. Manageable with diet changes and knocked it down with antibiotics.
Bad news, large mass on the left kidney. Going to a urologist. That appointment was made before I even left the building. It was scheduled for the Tenth of September.
Basket case? Yep. For a while I was.

Faith-based economics fails Obama again | Examiner Editorial | Opinion

Faith-based economics fails Obama again | Examiner Editorial | Opinion | Washington Examiner:

"Every day that you build this expanded facility," President Obama told employees of Solyndra at the company's solar panel plant in Fremont, Calif., last May, "you're demonstrating that the promise of clean energy isn't just an article of faith. Not anymore. ... It's happening right now. The future is here."

Well, it was here. Yesterday, Solyndra announced it was filing for bankruptcy, despite Obama's bold statement 15 months earlier that the company would create 4,000 new jobs -- 3,000 in construction and 1,000 in manufacturing. In September 2009, Solyndra had received the very first federal loan guarantee -- $535 million -- from a Department of Energy program partially funded by Obama's stimulus package. But questions quickly surfaced. A Pricewaterhouse Coopers audit of the firm, months after the award was announced, found it to be a black hole for cash. Solyndra's cumulative $558 million in "recurring losses from operations," PwC wrote, and "negative cash flows since inception ... raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern."

State & Local Michigan Bar Owners Bounce Lawmakers to Protest Smoking Ban

It opens with these two paragraphs------------

Some days, politicians could use a drink. But lawmakers in Michigan may soon find it harder to get one. 

Hundreds of bar owners in the Great Lakes State plan to deprive lawmakers of their hospitality by banning them from their establishments in protest of the state's smoking ban.

In case anyone was wondering, obama lied along with sibelius, pelosi, reid and the rest of that scum.

Kind of knew that ahead of time, given his past associations. Standard Operating Procedure.

Marshall: “You have not heard the last of me”

From the CFL site. My Saskatchewan Rough Riders are having a really bad year. 1 and 7. Yikes!


REGINA -- Eight games wasn't enough for Greg Marshall.

One day after being fired as the Saskatchewan Roughriders' head coach, Marshall said Saturday he was disappointed he wasn't given the chance to turn around a dismal start to the season.

“I thought that if there were some bumps along the way that time would be given to fix what needed to be fixed,” he said.

Harper stirs controversy with military name change

This was up at the Washington Examiner.
Seems the lefties are a bit upset with the return to tradition.

Canadians were thrilled when Prince William and Kate traveled across the country on their first official trip as a married couple. They barely noticed when their pro-monarchy Conservative prime minister appointed Prince Philip, Queen Elizabeth II's husband, an honorary admiral on his 90th birthday.

But Prime Minister Stephen Harper's decision to restore the royal name to the Canadian armed forces and other recent moves to embrace the monarchy have raised hackles in this former British colony that has largely been indifferent to the fact that the queen remains the titular head of state.

The Canadian Forces names: A mark of respect....UPDATE

From Tuesday's Globe and Mail

Published Monday, Aug. 15, 2011 6:09PM EDT

This one was at Hookers and Booze!

The Conservative government's decision to restore the traditional designations of the Canadian Forces; the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN), Canadian Army and Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) is a welcome move that recognizes a reality that has been long ignored by officialdom: The decades-long attempt to erase the historic designations, and unique identities, of the RCN, Canadian Army and RCAF was a failure.
