US tries to stop Geronimo lawsuit
US officials have moved to block a legal bid by descendants of Apache leader Geronimo to have his remains reburied.
Geronimo’s relatives say some body parts were stolen almost 100 years ago by members of a society linked to Yale University to keep in their clubhouse.
The relatives want to rebury the warrior, who died in 1909, near his birthplace in New Mexico.
But the justice department has asked a federal judge to dismiss their lawsuit.
The society, known as Skull and Bones, is alleged to have stolen some of Geronimo’s remains from a burial plot in Oklahoma in 1918.
Why would those yahoos in D.C. deny a family the right to rebury their family member near his birthplace? Is there some reason said officials want to keep him in OK? Is this a tourist trap or some such? If so, wouldn’t his burial place be as much as one in New Mexico? I don’t understand. What is it that these officials are trying to prove? I could say a lot about the abuse of the U.S. government has perpetrated against American Indian, but I don’t think that is even necessary. If someone knows why a family’s wishes are being denied, could someone please clue me?

Illegal Alien Commits Horrendous Crime
An illegal immigrant in New Jersey reportedly has been charged with sexually assaulting nine girls under the age of 8 — and prosecutors fear there could be more victims.
Cirilo Cholula, 18, faces nine counts of child endangerment and aggravated sexual assault against girls ranging in age from 4 to 7 years old, The Star-Ledger reported.
Ocean County Prosecutor Marlene Lynch Ford told The Star-Ledger that authorities began investigating Cholula after parents of one alleged victim told police they suspected he had molested the young girl.
The illegal Mexican immigrant, who the prosecutor’s office said knew all the alleged victims, was arrested Tuesday night and was being held on $1 million bail, according to the paper.
Ford believes more victims could be out there and asked parents to notify authorities if they think their children may have had inappropriate contact with Cholula
And here we go again. At least nine young, innocent lives have been forever changed. By someone who should never have been here in the first place. 4-7 years old? Despicable!!!
Now, I find the difference in the way this story was reported in two different sources very telling. In the story above, the headline reads “Illegal Immigrant Accused of Sexually Molesting 9 Girls Under 8 in New Jersey. As it should. In this story however, the headline reads “Lakewood Man Accused of Sexually Assaulting 9 Girls.” In fact, in the second story, the immigration status of the accused is not even mentioned until the 5th paragraph…and then he’s called “an undocumented resident.”
When will all this feel good bullsh*t stop?? Why is it that people are so concerned about the feelings and the rights (excuse me?) of illegal immigrants? Why are they not concerned with the feelings and the rights of the victims of these scumbags’ crimes?? And ya know what else? If and when this jackass is convicted, he’ll be getting three squares on my dime!!! Enough already!! As I’ve said before, I am very well aware that these and other crimes are being committed by people other than illegals, BUT, if we enforced our immigration laws, perhaps these nine little girls could have maintained their innocence.
All Those In Favor Of Gubmint Run Healthcare……
……raise your hand! Yeah…that’s what I thought. Someone might want to clue in those “polled” by the NYS and CBS, along with the rantings of these fools.
In Poll, Wide Support for Government-Run Health
Americans overwhelmingly support substantial changes to the health care system and are strongly behind one of the most contentious proposals Congress is considering, a government-run insurance plan to compete with private insurers, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.
The poll found that most Americans would be willing to pay higher taxes so everyone could have health insurance and that they said the government could do a better job of holding down health-care costs than the private sector.
Please! Tell me! Who the hell did they ask???? Do you want to pay even higher taxes than we’ve already had thrown at us? Do you believe you should have to pay for some lazy ass son of a bitch who can’t be bothered to improve his/her lot in life? Or some criminal who sneaks across the border?
I hate to break to you folks who believe the gubmint is the answer to everything, but health care is NOT a right. You do NOT have a right to steal someone else’s hard earned dollars to pay for your birth control, or flu vaccine, or anything else. That’s not real life!
Update: Glad to see I’m not the only one who noticed this absurd column from the Slimes!
The NYT/CBS poll is junk – and bad news for Obamacare
Update 2: Looks like Newsbusters has some real interesting info on the feckless weasels!

Ladies, Count Your Blessings!
Never thought of a “warsher” in this light before..what a blessing!
“Warshing Clothes Recipe” — imagine having a recipe for this ! ! !
Years ago an Alabama grandmother gave the new bride the following recipe:
this is an exact copy as written and found in an old scrapbook – with spelling errors and all.
WARSHING CLOTHES
Build fire in backyard to heat kettle of rain water. Set tubs so smoke wont blow in eyes if wind is pert.
Shave one hole cake of lie soap in boilin water.
Sort things, make 3 piles
1 pile white,
1 pile colored,
1 pile work britches and rags.
To make starch, stir flour in cool water to smooth, then thin down with boiling water.
Take white things, rub dirty spots on board, scrub hard, and boil, then rub colored don’t boil just wrench and starch.
Take things out of kettle with broom stick handle, then wrench, and starch.
Hang old rags on fence.
Spread tea towels on grass.
Pore wrench water in flower bed. Scrub porch with hot soapy water.
Turn tubs upside down.
Go put on clean dress, smooth hair with hair combs..
Brew cup of tea, sit and rock a spell and count your blessings.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Paste this over your washer and dryer Next time when you think things are bleak, read it again, kiss that washing machine and dryer, and give thanks.. First thing each morning you should run and hug your washer and dryer.
For you non-southerners – wrench means, rinse 
AND WE THOUGHT WE HAVE IT ROUGH

Ol’ Broad Solves Problems
Tennessee legislature leaves problems for 2010
State lawmakers closed up shop for the year, having rewritten Tennessee’s guns laws, moved a step closer to passing a constitutional amendment on abortion and cut spending by state government by about 10 percent.
But immigration, higher education reform and the question of whether to allow the sale of wine in grocery stores are among the issues that remain unresolved as legislators leave the Capitol for the final time this summer.
A couple of things that should have been addressed YEARS ago, being put on the back burner again? What is wrong with this picture?
Here’s a couple of hints for the legislature….of EVERY state.
1. When it comes to immigration, the solution is quite simple. We have federal laws that prohibit folks from sneaking in through the back door. Enforce them. You find people here who don’t belong? Show ‘em the door, and slam it behind them. What could be simpler? You break the law, you get just punishment. You come legally…..Welcome! Now learn the language!
2. Higher education isn’t that difficult either. Trash the tenure B.S.! If you aren’t teaching ALL sides, you have no business being in education to begin with. This will also cut the costs of tuition. If you want to keep good educators, pay them well, but don’t fund their yachts, or pay for their same sex partner’s health care. Competition is a good thing, and it’s been removed from those so called institutions of higher learning. When it comes right down to it, we’ve got parents paying an enormous amount of money to give their kids a college education, and the kids come out even more stoopid than they went in. Ever watch “All Star Jay Walkers” on The Tonight Show? Jeeeez!
3. Put the bloomin’ wine on the shelves. We’re grownups, and should have the choice of whether we want to buy wine at the grocery store or have to waste gas driving all over town to get our cabernet to go with dinner….or not.
For All The #1 Dads!
