An Ol' Broad's Ramblings
Carbonated Caffeine
Just what is it about Democrats and ethics? Do they have an allergy to ‘em or something?
It seems to me that battling a beetle would be a local problem, not a federal one.
I would think that any incursion of Islam into America would be harmful, for the entire country, not just Murfreesboro.
It doesn’t matter what we, or anyone else does. These animals will continue murdering until there is no one left to kill.
One more Obama scheme to bilk the country. It’s OUR money, and we already know the carbon credit crap is nothing more than a scam!
Why don’t you morons just quit freakin’ spending?? Get the hell out of OZ and take a good hard look at what such stupidity has already done!
It’s nice to know that Rep Giffords is improving…..slowly but surely. Who knows…maybe one day soon, she can retake her seat in Congress. After all, she is one of the very few rational Democrats.
But waste money is what Congress does best!
Personal opinion: It would be money well spent to send these animals back to the 12th century, instead of bombing Yemen.
Corruption in Detroit. Gee, what a shocker. 
And people wonder why the rest of the country is laughing at Wisconsin? There is no punishment for the thugs. Arrested and released doesn’t set a very good example. If you haven’t seen the video of the thug ‘zombies‘, prepare to be pissed.
There is something really wrong with the people in California.
A couple of questions here. One, what business is it of the Senate what a bank charges in fees. Two, if a bank raises it’s fee to the merchant, the merchant passes on such fees to the consumer, and the consumer may find another bank to do business with, or not use a credit card at all. I’m a bit confused on this whole mess.
Because there are animals roaming the streets, kids can’t play in a park. Nice. How’s that gun ban working out for y’all?
Subject: Gabrielle Giffords – Another Perspective – Just So You Know
I had no idea that this Congresswoman was such a nut case.
It was a tragedy that 19 people were shot and six died. As a result Giffords will be held out as a saint, when in fact, she is an idiot , a left wing “enviro-nut” who should not be in Congress. The media only cares about her because she is a Democrat. Had she been a Republican, like the federal judge who was killed, she would have been off the front page the next day, as he has been.
I had forgotten she was the Congresswoman that was involved in the following exchange with General Petraeus:
Poster-child for what is wrong in Washington , DC Our Arizona 8th District US Congressional representative, the Hon. Gabrielle Giffords, in a meeting of the House Armed Services Committee, asked General David Petraeus the following question: “General Petraeus, what are you doing to reduce carbon emissions in the war on terror?” Wow. I had to read, and re-read this several times to believe it. Folks, there are American sons and daughters dying every week on the foreign battlefields of southwest Asia . The nation is completely bankrupt and … quite literally, borrowing 43 cents for every dollar in federal spending. We have the largest environmental disaster in the nation’s history in the Gulf of Mexico , and we have Mexican drug armies invading our nation. And yet ….A member of Congress from Arizona ‘s 8th congressional district took the time to ask our battlefield commander what he is doing to curb carbon emissions in the war. Gabrielle Giffords is the poster-child for what is wrong with the US Congress. We are being led by imbeciles. To the rest of America reading this blog, and to Gen. Petraeus if this e-mail makes it to your inbox … my sincerest apologies for the stupid question asked of you by my US congressional representative. General … I am sure you have better things to worry about than carbon emissions on the battlefield. I assure you, as a registered voter in Arizona ‘s 8th congressional district, I will do everything I can to ensure Rep. Giffords is voted out of office in November, and I pray you’ll get back to business of fighting the war on terror without worrying about such petty and nonsensical matters as your carbon footprint in the war.

FYI: The 8th District surrounds Tucson to the north, south, and east ( Tucson is in the 7th District) and covers the south-east corner of AZ.
What Google says about Rep. Giffords: Representative Gabrielle Giffords (D-Az) took Afghan Commander, General David Petraeus, to task for what she characterized as “willful disregard of the environmental impact of our war effort.” “There is no policy, no plan to minimize carbon emissions in our military activities,” Giffords charged. “Bombs are dropped and bullets are fired without considering the environmental impact.” Giffords insisted that she was “not demanding an immediate halt to current military operations in the Middle East . I’m just saying that battle plans should include an environmental impact assessment as a regular part of the process before attacks are launched.”
She also suggested that the Army “put more emphasis on less environmentally damaging methods, like stabbing or clubbing enemy forces in order to minimize the carbon output.”
By rational, I mean that she doesn’t come across like Pelosi or Weiner….both raving lunatics….with the evidence coming straight out of their faces. The times I’ve seen this lady on the idjit box, she was calm, polite, and made sense. Well, as much sense as a democrat can.
I certainly don’t wish her any ill.
Couldn’t agree more! And thanks for the great blog – I find info here that I just don’t see anywhere else.
