"The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved." -- Confucius

Could You Fill Out This Job Application?

The seven-page, 63-question intrusive and extensive list of queries, first obtained by the New York Times and confirmed as legitimate by the Obama Transition Team, offers a revealing glimpse into both the Obama team's determination not to repeat the mistakes of its predecessors (Any nanny issues? Any discriminatory club memberships?) as well as the new era on which Obama will lead ("Please provide the URL address of any Web sites that feature you in either a personal or professional capacity, e.g. Facebook, My Space, etc.").


Does it really matter if they "repeat the mistakes of its predecessors"? America has just elected a person, to the highest office in the free world mind you, that not only can't get a security clearance based on his associations, but couldn't work for his own administration. And since when is it important what associations one has, for example? I thought those sorts of things didn't matter.

Does it matter if someone stands guard of the chicken coop making sure the foxes don't get in if that someone standing guard is, himself, a fox? Especially when the farmer is so willingly capable of swallowing the fox's slick speeches about how he's not a fox and to even suggest such a thing is speciesist and is so hung up on human guilt that he'd never entertain making such an accusation, no matter what his eyes and his gut tell him, in the first place.

Loved the bit about Freddie and Fannie. Pretty much excludes every Democrat currently drawing breath. Yeah, I know. I know. I keep forgetting the twin mottoes of "Do As I Say, Not As I Do" and "Okay For Me, But Not For Thee" on the Democrat Party's official seal.

Liberal Censorship and Its Roots

I believe this arrogant attitude can largely be traced to the top-down indoctrination in our schools, cultural institutions and media that liberalism is morally superior because it is tolerant, diverse, intellectual and enlightened. This view holds that conservative expression doesn't deserve constitutional protection because it is inherently evil. As one liberal academic administrator said in justifying his Draconian action in suppressing a Christian viewpoint, "We cannot tolerate the intolerable."


If the sanctimonious "52ers" actually meant something with all their koombyah crap, they'd be fighting against this type of thing. But I'm not exactly holding my breath.

Soulmate Website Launched

PHILADELPHIA (Friday, November 14, 2008) – In preparation for the start of their sixth season, the Philadelphia Soul are launching a new website dedicated exclusively to their dance team, the Philadelphia Soulmates.


Took long enough. Back before Philly had a team, a buddy of mine from Grand Rapids used to go on and on about the AFL. Like a lot of people, the only thing I'd ever heard about the AFL was that Kurt Warner had come from the Iowa Barnstormers to lead the St. Louis Rams to victory in Super Bowl XXXIV. But I figured I'd give it a shot. The team I latched onto was the Buffalo Destroyers. It wasn't because I had love for western NY or anything, it was... well, because their dance team/cheerleaders, the Bombshells, had their own website instead of a page on the team's website. After a couple seasons, the Destroyers moved but Philly got the Soul, so I didn't really care. Good to see the Soulmates getting a bit more of the spotlight.

Soulmates Pre-audition Workshop



Last Saturday the Philadelphia Soulmates held a pre-audition workshop for their upcoming auditions. Over thirty young ladies from around the Delaware Valley turned out to learn a routine, get advice on hair, make-up, fitness, nutrition, see a mock audition and have their questions answered by Soulmates Director Marla Viturello and the current Soulmates.


Bucking Soul tradition, it appears as though the Soulmate voted onto the most recent Aaron's Dream Team will be returning next season. For the last few seasons, the Soulmate who makes the Dream Team shares two qualities; they were co-captains and they didn't return. The Aaron's Dream Team was like a blackhole of hotness. Cheerleaders go in, but they don't come out. I know at least a couple fans who'll be glad to see Kat back. Me, I was glad to see Becky and Stepanie in the workshop gallery.

Oh, for crap's sake. Can't you just come out and condemn these gutless attacks Sen. McCain? If it wasn't for the fact that there's so much that is dangerous about having one-party rule and what it can do to our country, I'd be tickled pink that you lost. If you can't just come out with some Straight Talk™ to defend this person from these scurrilous attacks, I don't want you as Commander-in-Chief.

Planning under way for Obama holiday
(Via: Michelle Malkin)

Plans are being made to promote a national holiday for Barack Obama, who will become the nation's 44th president when he takes the oath of office Jan. 20.

"Yes We Can" planning rallies will be at 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. every Tuesday at the downtown McDonald's restaurant, 1100 Kansas Ave., until Jan. 13. The goals are to secure a national holiday in Obama's honor, to organize celebrations around his inauguration and to celebrate the 200th birthday of President Abraham Lincoln, who was born on Feb. 12 1809.

At 7:30 a.m. on Inauguration Day, Obama Cake will be served at the downtown McDonald's, and a celebration is scheduled for 8 p.m. to midnight Jan. 20 at the Ramada Hotel and Convention Center, 420 S.E. 6th.


Ca-reeeepy. We still don't have a September 11th Memorial Holiday, yet these wingnuts want a holiday for President-elect Obama? Are you kidding me? Shouldn't they, I dunno, wait for him to actually do something first? Am I the only person left in this country that looks at this guy as just that... a guy and not as a black guy? Hey, President-elect Obama, show me the content of your character. I don't give a crap about your skin pigmentation.

This cult of his His seriously needs to step away from the Kool-Aid for a minute. The first step is admitting you have a problem.
