The muslims will have no troubles fighting what Europeans call "entertainment" if this is the best they can offer.
Sorry, but visuals are important to understanding.
Exit question; Will this be seen OK to the muslim community there in the E.U.?

A Poem Worth Reading on this Memorial Day or ANY Day
He was getting old and paunchy
And his hair was falling fast,
And he sat around the Legion,
Telling stories of the past.
Of a war that he once fought in
And the deeds that he had done,
In his exploits with his buddies;
They were heroes, every one.
All his buddies listened quietly
For they knew where of he spoke.
But we'll hear his tales no longer,
For ol' Bob has passed away,
And the world's a little poorer
For a Soldier died today.
He won't be mourned by many,
Just his children and his wife.
For he lived an ordinary,
Very quiet sort of life..
He held a job and raised a family,
Going quietly on his way;
And the world won't note his passing,
'Tho a Soldier died today.
When politicians leave this earth,
Their bodies lie in state,
While thousands note their passing,
And proclaim that they were great.
Papers tell of their life stories
From the time that they were young
But the passing of a Soldier
Goes unnoticed, and unsung.
Is the greatest contribution
To the welfare of our land,
Some jerk who breaks his promise
And cons his fellow man?
Or the ordinary fellow
Who in times of war and strife,
Goes off to serve his country
And offers up his life?
The politician's stipend
And the style in which he lives,
Are often disproportionate,
To the service that he gives.
While the ordinary Soldier,
Who offered up his all,
Is paid off with a medal
And perhaps a pension, small.
It's so easy to forget them, For it is so many times
That our Bobs and Jims and Johnnys,
Went to battle, but we know,
It is not the politicians
With their compromise and ploys,
Who won for us the freedom
That our country now enjoys.
Should you find yourself in danger,
With your enemies at hand,
Would you really want some cop-out,
With his ever waffling stand?
Or would you want a Soldier--
His home, his country, his kin,
Just a common Soldier,
Who would fight until the end.
He was just a common Soldier,
And his ranks are growing thin,
But his presence should remind us
We may need his like again.
For when countries are in conflict,
We find the Soldier's part
Is to clean up all the troubles
That the politicians start.
If we cannot do him honor
While he's here to hear the praise,
Then at least let's give him homage
At the ending of his days.

Memorial Day
The honors displayed for the valiant souls at these solemn occasions is not only deserving but extremely moving as every possible emotion known to mankind is stirred and brought to the surface, including that of patriotism reaching unbelievable levels.
Although patriotism is an honorable virtue and emotions natural, it is my sincere wish that you never have to endure the pain that comes with such a loss, not only to your family but that of an entire nation.
The loss of one is a loss to all, never doubt that.
On this day (weekend) there are numerous parades (many of which I marched in proudly myself in my youth) and sales abound but both really miss the point. The parades come the closest to honor those that have served and fallen along with many fly-overs by the U.S. Air Force but the sales cheapen the day in my humble opinion. Yes the economy is bad, needless to say, and all are looking for deals but I would sooner sit in quiet contemplation and prayer about whom and for we enjoy such freedom to begin with.
From the Colonial Army and Navy to today's worlds greatest fighting force known to mankind, that being the modern United States Armed Forces; U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Marine Corp. and U.S. Coast Guard. These folks are your neighbors, friends and family that have defended this nation in the truest form; life and limb with the utmost bravery along with their families sacrifice as well.
I and many in this nation have had the unfortunate experience of attending such a send-off as mentioned above to those who have served this entire nation valiantly and with honor. The following is a piece titled 'Taps' which is played at such solemn occasions, but this is the full version played by a young lass which many are not aware of existing, being the abbreviated version is what the Military utilizes.
I do not mind saying that every time I hear 'Taps' no matter the length or version it produces tears and rips at my heart and soul as I remember not only my father but all those who have fought for freedom in defense of our nation.
U.S.M.C. 21 Gun Salute; 7 Marksmen - 3 Salvos Each
The following clip I have posted previously and being it is a U.S. Military Honor Guard - the U.S. Navy in this case, I find it on this Memorial Day Weekend more than apropos to honor those whom we pray rest in Gods' own hand's with this , a most awesome salute and with eternal gratitude.
God Bless all who have or are now serving!
Please remember them and their families today and forever!
AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM.
Good Luck Louisiana, I'm Going on Vacation...
I do know how to rant (my friends, family and coworkers can attest to that statement) but my verbal rants can lead to some very, well lets say colorful words [think Joe BFD Biden].
I choose (try) not use utilize those words in this blog although they can be very useful at times as to stress one's point and passion about any one subject.
So here is the reason I turn to Bob. Bob seems to sum-up my thoughts on numerous subjects and in this case; Hussein 'visiting' the Gulf region, Bob once again seems to magically read my mind with strong yet polite wording ,,,,,,,,,,

Awesome photos! Massive Crane lifts Warship out of the Water
Sheee-yoot, now this one humdinger of a crane. If you look at the tiny silhouettes of the people in rafts around the warship (well, half of the warship), you really get a sense of just how big this thing must be.
The warship, of course, is the Cheonan of the Republic of Korea Navy (or ROKN). The 1,200-ton vessel split in two after being struck by a torpedo fired by a North Korean miniature submarine and sank into the Yellow Sea. Unfortunately, 46 members of the 104-man crew didn't make it.
The rear section of the ship was recovered on April 15th, with the bow, pictured above, being lifted out of the water on April 24th.
Look down below to see how the crane towers over the warship it's lifting.

Please, Please Learn the United States Constitution
To all my Conservative friends and all those in the Tea Party Movement please understand this post is not for you, but then again you may (will) understand the following.
I see so many uneducated commenter's on my fellow blogger's cites that say the most ignorant statements based on their 'understanding' or better said lack of understanding of American Government that it truly baffles the mind, again a better term would be sad.
The U.S. Constitution is the entire basis for the operation, structure and law that governs our country.
There are those of us who know the founders intention as we know what they agreed upon to write and sign onto and until such a time any particular part of it is amended as allowed in Article V of the U.S. Constitution it remains the Law of the Land.
Then there are those who believe that the U.S. Constitution is a 'living, breathing document', and are free to believe that, but then one has to say that the novel Moby Dick is a living , breathing document as well. I know, you say one is a Government document and one is a fictional novel but the point is both were written and I might add clearly, so in that thinking process there is no reality, no truth, nothing but fantasy.
I digress though. the point here is that no matter the school of thought on the U.S. Constitution; 'constructionist' or 'living' one still has to READ IT in order to comment on it intelligently.
I and others have maintained this point for some time, but I stopped by The K.O.O.K's Manifesto as his recent post intrigued me; "A Thirst for History And Current Events: Good Omen " and I thought it time well spent, you might as well.
Then after a moment of societal uplift reading K.O.O.K's post, I received a comment on a blog I posted from a email on the 21st of this month titled; Three Presidents - Deportation of Criminaliens . This particular post, if you decide to venture over, had to do with American History as pertaining to the current debate of illegal immigration, nothing earth-shattering or 'news', just informational on U.S. History. But the one response from an anonymous 'guest' avoided the subject at hand entirely.
No, they did their best to obfuscate as they have no legitimate basis to debate the issue at hand. But in their attempt they also showed their complete ignorance for the Constitution. I did respond and admittedly my typing was sub-standard but my response/point is I believe clear and the reason for this rant.
Please, to those that differ from the opinions set forth in Conservative Perspective and elsewhere that you had better know the Constitution if you so wish to comment as I and most who visit here do (look to the left on this page). If in fact we are rusty on a particular point of said document we refer back to it so as we be clear, this is deemed as American being; WE THE PEOPLE ARE THE GOVERNMENT.
The U.S. Constitution is a widely published document, one of a kind actually, that is easily accessible anywhere accept maybe China (hell, they might print the reproductions ?)
On standard paper it is maybe 10 pages, pour some coffee or Latte' and READ IT.
Not only will this clear your thinking but also (if retaining the knowledge) prevent you from looking or sounding ignorant. A little but other widely published and very accessible book called a Dictionary, this to will be extremely useful as a supplement to this education as it is other subjects.
Remember, foreigners read our blogs as well as we do theirs, and most know exactly what the U.S. Constitution says and means, you should too, it is your responsibility!
The world is connected by freedom not oppression.

The Next Bailout: $165B for Unions
By Erik Berte - FOXBusiness May 24,2010
Taxpayers could be on the hook for another $165 billion if a bill to bail out private union pension funds makes it through Congress.
A Democratic senator is introducing legislation for a bailout of troubled union pension funds. If passed, the bill could put another $165 billion in liabilities on the shoulders of American taxpayers.
The bill, which would put the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation behind struggling pensions for union workers, is being introduced by Senator Bob Casey, (D-Pa.), who says it will save jobs and help people.
As FOX Business Network’s Gerri Willis reported Monday, these pensions are in bad shape; as of 2006, well before the market dropped and recession began, only 6% of these funds were doing well.
Although right now taxpayers could possibly be on the hook for $165 billion, the liability could essentially be unlimited because these pensions have to be paid out until the workers die.
It’s hard to say at the moment what the chances are that the bill will pass. A hearing is scheduled Thursday, which will give the public a sense of where political leaders sit on the topic, said Willis.
Just last week President Obama said there would be no more bailouts.

Is This Just a Nightmare, or Did It Really Happen?
Is This Just a Nightmare, or Did It Really Happen?
By Jared E. Peterson
Over the past week we witnessed presidential and congressional disloyalty without precedent in American history, events that should be indelibly imprinted on the American electorate's collective memory. For the first time (at least to this writer's knowledge), a foreign head of state who is promoting an ongoing, aggressive, illegal, and often violent invasion of America came to our country, met with our president, and, from the White House itself, received our president's implicit but obvious public support for that invasion; and that same foreign leader spoke to Congress and received a standing ovation from its Democrat members' for his country's war on America's borders.
Is this just a nightmare, or did it really happen?
During Barrack Hussein Obama's May 19, 2010 joint press conference with Mexican President Felipe Calderón, our president -- constitutionally charged with the duty to defend America from all enemies, foreign and domestic -- earned the scarlet "D": By silence he aligned himself with the invaders of our country and their leader against the citizens of America's own state of Arizona who have been forced by his dereliction to defend themselves.
Nearly as amazing, on Thursday, May 20, 2010, that same foreign president, speaking from where Churchill stood during World War II, received a standing ovation from the Democrat members of Congress when he reviled the citizens of Arizona for daring to try to fashion a defense of their part of the American-Mexican border. And the Republicans did not walk out or offer any other visible, dramatic objection.
An aside: The feckless Republican non-response to the Mexican President's May 20 congressional rant is probably the least astounding of the week's events. Our stodgy Republican opposition, with a few exceptions (e.g., see Congressman Tom McClintock's superlative speech) is notable for its lack of leadership, courage, eloquence, timing, and political prescience. That a foreign head of state who insults the overwhelming majority of America's citizens from a congressional podium might require a dramatic response from them, and at the same time might present a perfect opportunity to make clear which party is aligned with the American people on illegal immigration, would not occur to most of the timid and unimaginative mediocrities in this bunch.
But to return to the point: Consider carefully the stain of disloyalty that President Obama indelibly affixed to himself during the week just past.
On Wednesday, May 19, 2010, Felipe Calderón, President of politically and economically failed Mexico, stood on the South Lawn of the White House as a guest of America. He proceeded to claim that Arizona's recently enacted immigration law "is forcing our people there to face discrimination," and thereby he publicly trashed the State of Arizona, its legislators and governor, and, if polls are accurate, about 70% of its residents (and probably nearly the same percentage of all Americans) who unambiguously want the border sealed and support Arizona's benign efforts to accomplish that goal. He said more, but that was enough.
Standing next to this boor, the President of the United States (sic) responded to the tirade against America with silence. Or as the rest of the world will interpret Obama's muteness, "I agree with everything you just said." Can anyone imagine similar complicit disloyalty from Lincoln, Roosevelt (T. or F.D.), Truman, Kennedy, or Reagan?
Rather than defend the reasonable actions of his countrymen, our president joined in the foreigner's indictment of them. Later, on television, while the offensive Mexican president was still in the country, Obama added his own condemnation of those vile Americans he risibly claims to lead and protect: Of the Arizona statute, he said, "The Justice Department is looking at the legislation to make sure it's consistent with 'our core values' and 'existing legal precedent.'" Again, code-speak for "I agree with El Presedente. The people of Arizona, their legislators and governor, and all those who support them are despicable bigots."
When America is being invaded by a foreign power, one expects the President of the United States to be on America's side. That's how it's worked in the past, anyway. If that's too steep a demand, could we ask that our president not publicly endorse the enemy's characterization of modest defensive efforts as "discriminatory"? If even that decent silence is too much, could our president at least not provide the invaders' leader with a White House venue to denounce our people and our laws?
Note to those Americans who have not yet noticed: Barrack Hussein Obama does not like or sympathize with this country.
His instinctual affinities are with others, particularly if they come from the southern hemisphere or call themselves Muslims, and especially if they vote Democrat when they get here. For a long time, some have known this about America's first anti-American president. Many have not yet perceived it. Had most Republican members of Congress not been asleep, confused, or afraid, the events of last week could have cast a brilliant light on this awful truth.
But exposing the charlatan when he allows the truth to spill out, as he did last week, requires a courageous, clear-thinking, and articulate opposition. Other than Representative McClintock and a few more, who among key GOP officeholders possesses these traits?
An effective, courageous, and astute opposition lacking, the only course for loyal Americans is never to let last week's outrages be forgotten.
Any Republican candidate who fails to remind the November electorate that Barrack Hussein Obama, and the congressional Democrats en masse, endorsed and applauded America's invaders and condemned its defenders, does not have the requisite qualities of intellect and courage to be helpful in the struggle to reclaim our country.

Another Spiral,,Over Canada
From The Weather Space;
The Norway spiral comes to mind when TheWeatherSpace.com received photographs and even an amazing video of the event. An object swooped down from the sky and then returned in a brilliant display on Friday night across the Western Canada areas.
Three different photographers have given their photos to TheWeatherSpace.com in what looks like something out of a science fiction movie. We cannot see what would cause this one on Earth.
The Norway spiral was said to be caused by a missile launch in the Russian territory. But what is this?
The only known areas to launch on the Western coast are the Vandenberg Air Force Base and Alaskan areas. Vandenberg confirms no launches and Kodiak Island has to be ruled out due to the direction of travel (from the west).
The photographs show a very similar shape and mysterious object off the coast of Canada. The object is not a missile as one photograph from the beach has the trajectory curving up! What is it?
A video was sent to TheWeatherSpace.com and the web team has added it to the video server on YouTube.com. The video shows the entire sequence of this object as filmed by Steven Murray.
"I have four sky cameras to catch meteors on and number three caught it", Murray said. "I saw it from my office while doing work. The object was on the monitor. By the time I rushed outside the object was gone but the loudest boom I ever heard from a distance struck shortly after."
The following video is actually two-in-one, the first half is the shot from the ground and the second half shows the purported spiral from 25,000 ft over the Pacific, North-West of Washington State.
This was the spiral mentioned over Norway in December 2009

Kids Attack President Obama
Just had to share this one,,lol
Apparently they wanted 15 minutes of fame so I have done my part to help!
[Note; This is not Fox News, Dice should point this out himself.]
On a more very serious note, Ann Coulter (@ the 4:28 mark) sounds the alarm many of us have been speculating about on the Fox Business network.
(Do not let the title of the video fool you)
Hell Just Froze Over - Sharpton Calls Out Detroit at Girl's Funeral
Yes folks, Hell itself must have frozen-over as for the very first time I, Christopher-Conservative Perspective and Rev. Al Sharpton agree!
I need not go on as Al does better in his own words here,,,
It's high time and long overdue that 'leaders' of communities such as Detroit, Chicago, Los Angeles and D.C. point the finger squarely where it belongs - the people.
The little girls death in this case is deeply tradgic to be sure but if one examines what lead up to the fateful day you can see Mr. Sharpton is exactly correct in his statement captured in the video above.
Entertainer extraordinaire Bill Cosby has been saying much the same for years now to no avail. Mr. Cosby might welcome some help to trumpet the message of personal responsibility in these shattered communities.
I further suggest to the good Rev. that he take the very same message to the the NBP, Nation of Islam, NAACP, ACORN, Congessional Black Caucus, S.E.I.U. and last but certainly not least the White House.
"The fact that they are illegal is not a crime"? (UPDATE) - ILLEGAL ALIEN RAPIST DEPORTED 9 TIMES!
But I believe as the situation in Arizona heats-up about immigration we are well served by real numbers as immigration and the overall cost of health care are inextricably linked.
Please view the video below so as to clarify my point as it comes from a health care professional in her own words,,,
Liberals have one beef that I tend to agree with: "Lets take care of our own first".
OK. Lets do exactly that, but we must get rid of the dead weight first.
DEPORTATION!
To any and all Christians who may differ with this Christians' point of view, why do you not move with these illegals back to their country of origin?
Really, would it not be better to make these countries in question better so as not to promote immigration to ours?
Seriously, if one were to think that is, would it not be a more stable world if in fact countries took care of themselves and that of their brethren rather than criminals entering ours? And yes, it is a crime to enter the United States without authorization as it is EVERY country throughout the world.

It is my firm belief as a Christian to promote Jesus Christ along with His teachings, not to gather it and keep it in one spot; i.e. the United States.
If as a Christian you, a very liberal one at that, it is incumbent upon you to leave the United States and join the Holy Sea elsewhere in the world where you are needed.
You see, we are already more than ready to take care of our own, but that is where it must stop. We see how the EU is attempting to do just that and is not only failing due to illegals , but also bankrupting them.
Please stop getting in the way of this endeavor of 'taking care of our own"!
For the life of me I do not understand you, but come November you just might understand me.

CP Saturday Jukebox - White Lion + Iggy Pop in Honor of a New Follower of CP
Iggy Pop is a homegrown Michigan icon and this blogger was first introduced to his music by new follower George wayyyy back in our youth. George has been a long-time family friend (well actually family member) and am honored for him to have graced CP with his presence.
For you George,,,,,
(Just so happens to be filmed in my new favorite state as well--ARIZONA!)
There is a Tea Party theme: "No asshole can get in my way cause I got my shit together today"
Awesome Power of Weather!
As a child of maybe about 8 years of age I experienced a hail storm where the hail itself was about the size of a standard freezer-tray sized ice cube. A few of us kids were outside very briefly before running for cover with neighbors doors all welcoming, well actually demanding us in immediately.
The storm only lasted maybe a minute or so but enough to damage vehicles and leave welts on those stuck outside.

I could not imagine a storm of this magnitude!

Three Presidents - Deportation of Criminaliens
A little U.S. history on illegal immigration and just how three sitting U.S. presidents handled it in the past,,,,,
President Herbert Hoover (1929–1933)
Back during The Great Depression, President Herbert Hoover ordered the deportation of ALL illegal aliens in order to make jobs available to American citizens that desperately needed work.
President Harry Truman (1945–1953)
Harry Truman deported over two million Illegals after WWII to create jobs for returning veterans.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower (1953-1961)
In 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower deported 13 million Mexican Nationals! The program was called 'Operation Wetback'. It was done so WWII and Korean Veterans would have a better chance at jobs. It took 2 Years, but they deported them!
Do you see the common thread in all this? JOBS!
Jobs that is for AMERICANS!
Reminder: Don't forget to pay your taxes...12 million Illegal Aliens are depending on you!
The information provided above is from an email sent to me and is both accurate and verifiable.
Charlie Crist; Independant Liberal (UPDATE) Would Confirm Socialist Kagan
What part of ILLEGAL does this idiot not understand? Illegals sucking off of SS is a huge part of what ails Social Security and now he wants amnesty for criminals to solve an American Ponzi scheme?
UPDATE: Dumber by the minute.
Crist says he would confirm socialist Kagan,,,

Al Gore Gives Depressing Commencement Speech On Global Warming
Americans for Prosperity: Instead of providing encouragement for the graduates of the University of Tennessee, Al Gore takes the opportunity to promote his doomsday global warming scenarios.
Cannibalizing Capital - John F. Di Leo
Cannibalizing Capital
By John F. Di Leo
Mitt Romney's boyhood home, which sold for $645,000 as recently as 2002, is in the news: It's slated for demolition this summer. This fine old house, situated in a once-vibrant upper-middle-class neighborhood of Detroit, is one of 10,000 homes and other buildings that Detroit intends to knock down as soon as possible.
The city fathers have decided to accept the city's continued decline as unalterable fact, and since the current economic environment cannot fill those 10,000 homes with eager buyers, they assume that the future economic environment won't, either. So they may as well just knock them all down to "right-size" the city. Houses worth $100K, $200K, $500K, and more will be destroyed in support of this prevailing vision of irreversible defeat.
At the very same time that these wrecking balls start to swing, hundreds of miles north on Mackinac Island, a painter will be eyeing a tranquil scene. This artist will take $10 worth of paints, brushes, and canvas, and he'll capture that scene for posterity...producing a painting he can then sell to a tourist for a hundred, or two hundred, or maybe even a thousand dollars.
Elsewhere, as those same wrecking balls swing, a jeweler will take a shiny compressed carbon rock that his supplier pulled out of the ground in South Africa, and he'll cut and polish it until it shines, mount it in a metal band, and sell it as an engagement ring to some lovestruck young man for his fiancée to wear. From chunks of gold ore and diamond rock underground, human artistry will produce jewelry worth (as his jeweler hopes and the diamond supplier recommends) a good "two months' salary."
Also at that same moment, a master carpenter will walk through a lumberyard, perusing timbers that only a month ago were towering trees. They were cut, milled, and finished, stacked and ready to be selected for this craftsman's next project. Twenty dollars' worth of tree trunks and branches have become $100 in lumber, soon to become $1,000 worth of customized built-in cabinetry in the carpenter's capable hands.
What converts these worthless plants and minerals into paintings, furniture, and jewelry? What made it possible for our artist, our jeweler, and our craftsman to make a living out of processed plants and minerals? Hint: It's not government.
These artists may not have heard about the 10,000 homes being destroyed and the economic nihilism that inspired the project. These artists just do what they do, taking a few dollars' worth of raw materials and transforming them into goods worth ten, twenty, thirty times as much, all because of their ingenuity, their creativity, and the rewards dispensed by the invisible hand of a free market.
It happens every hour of every day, as manufacturers literally create wealth by creating valuable goods seemingly out of thin air.
Wealth isn't created by the Fed's interest rate structure or by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing's massive currency printing presses. The free market creates wealth, as the painter transforms raw materials into something that can be sold for much more than the purchase price of its parts. The market creates $90 if he sells those $10 in materials for $100; it creates $190 if he sells the painting for $200...and it creates $990 if he sells his masterpiece for $1,000.
But if fewer tourists visit the island, there's less demand, less competition to drive up his prices, so he'll sell for less, and less wealth will be created. If fewer people get married, fewer will buy those engagement rings...and if the grooms don't have jobs or budding careers to inspire wild purchases due to our stagnant job climate, then they certainly won't be risking two months' salary on that fancy ring.
And if you knock down 10,000 homes in Detroit, that's 10,000 fewer homeowners to remodel their basements, finish their attics, or renovate their kitchens with those custom cabinets.
Economies aren't based on building things, destroying them, and starting over again from scratch, time and time again. Economies are based on continued growth. Build a factory, then use it to produce things. Build a house, then add additions and improvements when you can...always adding, always decorating, filling the closets, the knickknack shelves, and the garages.
We have entered a new and frightened age, in which our government knocks down 10,000 homes rather than take the well-known steps that encourage economic growth. Our government pays people to destroy hundreds of thousands of perfectly good used cars (calling them "clunkers") in order to replace them with cheaper Japanese and Korean imports. We order our nation's car companies to close dealerships, throwing hundreds of thousands of mechanics, salesmen, and accountants out of work, rather than simply correcting the tax and regulatory burdens and destructive union contracts that caused those carmakers to be unprofitable.
Over the past year, we have seen an explosion of new startups, at strip malls and corner storefronts across the country: Every town now has a "Cash for Gold" franchise, or two, or three. Nothing against this franchise or its cousins, of course -- it's a legitimate business, meeting a perceived need -- but this explosion has a pernicious aspect to it. These shiny shops' principal tool isn't a paintbrush, or a machine tool, or a drafting board, but a simple scale. No matter how much talent originally went into an article of jewelry, how much value was added by the jeweler or artisan who conceived the necklace, ring, or brooch that a desperate debtor brings in, it is to be sold and melted down for the value of its raw materials, and nothing more.
How much wealth has been lost in the stock market in this recession? At least stocks can come back if the companies survive...the certificate that plummets from $100/share to $50 can recover it all in a year or two when the credit market recovers or taxes are cut or the right administration change occurs. But that $500 necklace that's melted down for its $30 worth of gold value isn't coming back. That $470 difference isn't just in limbo; it's been destroyed forever.
The unstable house, no longer structurally sound, must certainly be destroyed to start over. But the perfectly good house that's destroyed just because failed politicians have given up on their town -- pulverizing a $645,000 home to free up a $10,000 lot for a park or farm -- those hundreds of thousands of dollars in losses are avoidable, and are therefore unforgivable.
We live in sad times, in which economically illiterate politicians promise to deliver job creation and prosperity from the wanton destruction of currencies, real estate, and personal property, large and small.
This conflagration of willful demolitions must stop. There's not much the Republicans can do to slow it down (though they must of course continue to try). If our country is to make it to the next election with anything to wear besides a barrel, the president's own majority party needs to start standing up to its leadership. Amazingly, despite the blatantly obvious wreckage of current policies, even despite the worst polling in the history of polling, there are no signs that the Democrat rank and file have any such inclination to save themselves and their country.
They seem happy to sit by as their leadership makes empty promises that job creation will climb in the wake of business closures, that "green shoots" will arise from the broken windows of fallacious economics.
Today's Democrats have based their entire prayer of economic growth on the idea that if they cremate a phoenix in a funeral pyre, a new and healthy phoenix will magically rise from the ashes. Unfortunately for us all, that legend is a myth.

Breaking: Republican Congressman to resign over sex scandal (Video UPDATE)
Breaking: Republican Congressman to resign over sex scandal
posted at 9:36 am on May 18, 2010 by Ed Morrissey
Just two weeks after he won a hard-fought Republican primary in Indiana to keep his seat, Rep. Mark Souder will resign his office. Fox News reports that an affair with a staffer has become publicly known, and Souder will exit rather than face an Ethics Committee investigation (via Dave Weigel):
Say, wouldn’t it have been a good idea to make this decision three weeks ago?
Souder’s abrupt exit puts the GOP in a tough position. Someone will have to peruse Indiana’s state laws to see if the Republicans can select a replacement candidate for the November ballot, and what the process might be. Bob Thomas came in second to Souder, about 11,000 votes behind him and 15,000 ahead of Phil Troyer. If the GOP can make a ballot switch, the logical choice would be Thomas, but that’s a big if. They may have to go with a write-in campaign.

Eight-term Rep. Mark Souder will announce his resignation Tuesday after it came to light that he was conducting an affair with a female staffer who worked in his district office, Fox News has learned..
Multiple senior House sources indicated that the extent of the affair would have landed Souder before the House Ethics Committee.
Elected as a family values conservative as part of the Republican revolution in 1994, Souder survived a tough re-election challenge in 2008 and survived a contested primary two weeks ago
