Squirrel Bridge

Arizona cancelled its proposed 1.25 million dollar ‘squirrel bridge’. It seems 250 squirrels live on one side of a rural road on Mount Graham. They like to occasionally cross the road. An average of five jaywalking squirrels die each year in the attempt to see what’s on the other side of the road. To prevent the deaths of five squirrels a year while crossing the road some genius’s came up with this 1.25 million dollar bridge idea to save them. The money was coming out of federal funds which were stolen… er… I mean collected from us rubes in the rest of the country. Graham County Supervisor Mark Herrington asked a damn good question the day before bridge cancellation - "I don't think it's the smartest allocation of resources," he said. "With all the problems we’re facing today, with the economy the way it is…that's a huge expense and how do you guarantee that the squirrels are going to cross the bridge?" Maybe Arizona could use the federal funds to take back our wildlife preserve on the border from the Mexican Drug Cartels. Now that project expense I could understand.

Besides, here’s what the squirrels on the Mount Graham road were saying just the other day. Three of the squirrel residents huddled together looking out at the rather flattened body of their comrade, Silly Squirrel.

Sammy Squirrel sighed deeply. “Silly kept dancing right where we’re standing saying ‘what’s over there… what’s over there?’. I told him it was the same as this side but he just wouldn’t listen.”

Sadie Squirrel shook her head, cringing as a Ford pickup truck decreased the mass of Silly’s inert body by another half inch with its back right tire. “Silly never listened. He wasn’t very bright in these matters.”

Johnnie Squirrel snorted derisively. “Let’s not get all morbid here. Silly was dumber than a bag of rocks. He broke the squirrel commandment thou shalt not run under a Cadillac Escalade. We should focus on the positive here. I saw that snake charmer Rocky Raccoon staring longingly across the road last night. I’d bet a nice fat walnut he’s gettin’ ready to become road kill any day now.”

“Really?” Sadie asked with her little eyes brightening at the thought. “He’s mean.”

“Yeah… stupid mean,” Sammy added, chortling and rubbing his little paws together. Suddenly, Johnnie tugged on his companions’ shoulders.

“Get down! Here comes the Rock now.”

The three crouched silently as a large black masked raccoon scampered up to the road, darting out a few feet onto the paved surface and back again.

“He’s ignoring Silly’s body,” Sadie whispered, “almost like he doesn’t care.”

“The Rock thinks he’s smarter than anyone else,” Johnnie replied. “He’s probably thinking to himself - ‘ha ha, there’s that dumbass Silly plastered to the road. I bet I could get across’. Uh oh, there he goes.”

Rocky Raccoon made it across one lane before an eighteen wheeler on the other side ended the ill conceived journey in a bloody mess of pulverized raccoon.

“Budda Bing!” Johnnie called out coldly.

“Eeeeeeeuuuuuu!” Sadie covered her eyes but peaked through anyway at the red glutinous mass across the highway.

“I don’t know about you two, but I’ve had enough entertainment for one day,” Sammy said, turning away to scamper down from the roadside a few steps. “Anymore of that and they’ll be adding the damn raccoons to the endangered species list.”

“More nuts for us, matey,” Johnnie announced, joining his friend. “C’mon Sadie, unless you want to go take a walk on the wildside.”

“I don’t think so!” Sadie scrambled down and popped Johnnie on the back of the head. “That’s for being so insensitive.”

“It’s called natural selection.” Johnnie rubbed the back of his head while Sammy tittered appreciatively at Sadie’s attitude adjustment. “What do you want me to do about it, build a bridge?”

The three squirrels laughed together at the ridiculous concept and ran off into the woods.

There you have it folks. Even the squirrels think the idea is stupid.

Suicide Bombing Schools

Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, has been documenting the rise of radical factions in both Pakistan and Afghanistan since 2001. In her present documentary ‘Children of the Taliban’ she highlights Pakistan’s suicide bombing schools where the Taliban recruit boys in staggering numbers to become human bombs. This is nothing new from the religion of peace. Yassir Arafat established them long ago but this latest travesty has become monstrous in scope. Ms. Obaid-Chinoy is bravely trying to create a pilot program to counter the radicalism breeding a culture of death in the region. A quote from former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir comes to mind – “We will have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us.”

Nationwide Alert

Here’s some more good news on the security front. A nationwide alert is on for 17 Afghan AWOL military members from a Texas Air Base where they were attending language classes. What!? There aren’t any bases in Afghanistan for these guys to attend English classes? Each of these potential human WMD’s was issued a Department of Defense Common Access Card which allows them on military installations. According to the article these guys went missing over the last two years… two years!!!??? It claims an unspecified number have been caught but at the end of the article it lists all seventeen names in a link. Why do that if some are in custody? When I read something like this a burning question pops into my mind. How many idiots in the Pentagon or State Department does it take to establish foreign exchange student programs with countries we are at war with, where we send Americans over to fight and die in exchange for trained terrorists… and then give them common access cards to all our military installations? We’re doomed.

Animal Genocide

As a follow up to yesterday’s post on ceding of United States sovereignty here’s an article about thousands of wildlife refuge acres closed since 2006 because of security concerns due to drug and human smugglers. Let’s put aside the fact our federal government decided American citizens don’t deserve protection from foreign invaders so they can visit a wildlife preserve we’re all paying for. I wonder what kind of refuge we’re getting for our money if thousands of illegal alien criminal invaders are allowed to stomp across the wildlife habitat. Consider this, guess who pays for the cleanup on a wildlife refuge, we’re not allowed to visit, damaged by foreign invaders – that’s right, the US taxpayer. Where’s PETA, World Wildlife, Greenpeace, and all the rest of the save the animals first crowd? Maybe they should quit hugging polar bears for a moment and take a look at this potential animal genocide at our border.  :)

Ceding Sovereignty

No matter how you feel about the Arizona law I don’t think any US citizen agrees with ceding the Arizona border park land over to Mexican drug cartels because the federal government refuses to protect our border. It’s no wonder with this news why Texas is establishing a Predator drone base. They may be afraid the feds are getting ready to cede the Texas border area to the drug cartels along with Arizona’s. The answer is not to put up signs forbidding United States citizens from entering USA park territory because of drug runners and illegal alien banditos. The answer is to make interfering with United States citizens on their own land the same as certain death. We don’t need thousands of unarmed troops on the border. We need twenty spaced out sniper teams with Predator drone backup and a shoot to kill order. This interview with an Arizona Sheriff puts our problem into perspective.

Breach

Military police at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida, home of the US Central Command overseeing the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, arrested a man and woman trying to enter the base without proper identification. Upon searching their vehicle military weapons and gear were found. The part that bugs me about this story is the authorities have not released their identities. If they turn out to be a couple of would be ‘Major Hasans’ and their identities were withheld simply to appease fifth column groups like our own enemy within CAIR (Council On American-Islamic Relations) then we have allowed political correctness to breach the suicidal stage. Yeah, I’m jumping to conclusions - but only because every time ‘the authorities’ withhold names in these cases nowadays is if they are potential ‘Major Hasans’. If American citizens like the Hutaree Militia group are arrested with very little evidence of any wrong doing, their names, addresses and life histories immediately get smeared across the country. It will be interesting to follow this story at MacDill Air Force Base. Tragedy will be just over the horizon if we’re hiding information so as not to offend fifth columnists like CAIR.

If these two are potential ‘Major Hasans’ I hope to God the authorities at MacDill employ some intelligent profiling in finding out who the couple were trying to sneak military weapons and gear on the Central Command Base for.

Oklahoma Okay!

Oklahoma may have been paying attention to our canary in the mine shaft, Great Britain. Instead of waiting for the proverbial camel to get its nose under the tent, Oklahoma legislators put a state constitutional amendment on the ballot to forbid any judge from invoking Sharia law or applying International law in cases tried there. After watching Great Britain with five Sharia courts I would have to say we need a reiteration of United States sovereignty in all fifty of our states as Oklahoma is doing. I’m with Oklahoma. Keep Sharia and honor killings out of our country. Otherwise, we won’t even recognize America in a couple decades. Until we assimilate the legal immigrants we have now from the Middle East we should shut off all immigration from there for at least ten years.

Senator Boxer On Global Conflict & CO2

One reason in spite of corruption, extortion and deceit the Carbon Credit Mafia continues on with plans to steal our money with the Cap & Trade bill at the altar of Holy Global Warming is because of Senators like Barbara Boxer. In this video Boxer claims CO2 will be the leading cause of world conflict. The Global Warming acolytes fail daily to save their faux religion with the usual ‘sky is falling’ repertoire so I guess global conflict seems a better threat to them. How this ignoramus Boxer ties CO2 in with global conflict is both hilarious and a complete embarrassment. If it were the most idiotic of her public stances I would be surprised. It isn’t.

Goofiest Race Card Pull Ever

The NAACP forced Hallmark to pull graduation audio cards with a space theme because when the character card audio used a reference to black holes the NAACP decided it really said a racial epithet – black whores. It’s coincidental I was beginning a list of the silliest ‘race card’ pulls surrounding the Arizona immigration law. I scrapped it after reading this article because they pale in comparison to this bit of utter nonsense by a group that must have their research wing spending every waking moment looking for ways to be offended. In grasping for this straw they have found a way to look simply ridiculous.

Disneyland Kismet

Here’s a cute story about a happily married couple finding out they first met in Disney Land at the ages of 3 and 5. They were from two different countries, unknowingly ending up in the same picture. When looking over old photos the two found similarities about the Disney trips their respective parents took them on and confirmed the eerie meet up thirty years ago. Some things are just meant to be.  :)  For today, it’s more entertaining news than the Gulf oil spill, Carbon Credit Mafia, Illegal Alien invasion, and world war.
