  7. Hey, made it just in time. From the previous thread.

    NY Nana, I will look into those silicon ones. I have used them at friends places and they are good.

    snowcrash: I have salted burns before and it does help to keep the swelling of the blister down for me. It's just a little painful right now, will have to avoid hot stuff with the hand for a bit.

  16. I hope you haven't just eaten. If you have, scroll by.

    From
    Media Matters ....laying it on thick THICK:

    Even if we stipulate for the sake of discussion that Fox is a news organization, that's tame stuff by the standards of previous White Houses. You'd be hard-pressed to find an administration that hasn't at times taken a more aggressive approach toward journalists. If you're thinking "Lincoln," think again. Faced with complaints about his administration's censorship of the press in 1863, Lincoln responded, "I think when an office in any department finds that a newspaper is pursuing a course calculated to embarrass his operations and stir up sedition and tumult, he has the right to lay hands upon it and suppress it, but in no other case."

    And yet the Obama administration's criticism of Fox News -- criticism, not censorship or suppression of Fox's "reporting" -- was greeted with immediate howls of protest and allegations of Nixonian behavior.

    Fox foot soldiers like Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck and right-wing bloggers like Instapundit led the way, of course, but that's to be expected. People who don't hesitate to compare Obama to Hitler and Mao Zedong cannot be expected to hesitate before comparing him to Nixon -- unless it is to consider whether such a comparison will be seen as a compliment, considering the source.

  31. MEDIA MATTERS FOR AMERICA (MMA)

    Established in May 2004, Media Matters for America is a "web-based, not-for-profit … progressive research and information center" seeking to "systematically monitor a cross-section of print, broadcast, cable, radio, and Internet media outlets for conservative misinformation." But in addition to "news or commentary that is not accurate, reliable, or credible," the organization's concept of "misinformation" includes anything that "forwards the conservative agenda." Thus political differences of opinion are often portrayed by Media Matters as lies or worse.

    []

    Media Matters has not always been forthcoming about its high-profile backers. In particular, the group has long labored to obscure any financial ties to George Soros. But in March 2003, the Cybercast News Service (CNS) detailed the copious links between Media Matters and several Soros "affiliates"—among them MoveOn.org, the Center for American Progress, and Peter Lewis. Confronted with this story, a spokesman for the organization explained that "Media Matters for America has never received funding directly from George Soros" (emphasis added), a transparent evasion.

    The silicone ones are very easy to wash, also. I have both the short and long ones. Since we are kosher, I have 2 sets of each, one blue and the other red...and also 2 sets packed up for Passover.

    Yes sir, Sharia law, meting out draconian, medieval punishment to women for the dastardly crimes of wearing pants and working on a TV show where someone actually dared to discuss sex. The horror! We can't have that now can we? Sharia, the law of Islam, the religion of sexual repression says so.

    So the Federal Government as the authority to tell local law enforcement not to enforce selected laws?

    That there is a SCOTUS case.

  74. ICE pulls Arpaio's arrest authority

    Immigration and Customs Enforcement chose not to renew its federal immigration arrest authority agreement with Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio Friday. "This just includes the jail, and deep down, I feel that I ought to take it and rip it all up," Arpaio said. Federal officials also refused to comment further.
    Under the new agreement deputies and detention officers could continue screening individuals once they are booked into the Maricopa County jail, but federal authorities had not offered to allow Arpaio's street-level immigration enforcement to continue. Under the new agreement it looks like Arpaio no longer has authority to make arrests of illegal aliens accused of committing serious crimes.
    Through pressure from the American Civil Liberties Union and other pro illegal alien advocacy groups ICE has caved. The ACLU is currently representing two clients in separate lawsuits accusing Arpaio's deputies of racial profiling. "He's not going to be able to arrest people for those kind of routine civil-immigration violations," said Alessandra Soler-Meetze executive director of the ACLU in Arizona. (The Arizona Republic). Wrong, the immigration violations that Sheriff Arpaio was using to arrest and detain illegal aliens are not civil, they are administrative violations under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Violating federal immigration laws are not "routine" civil matters. I wish these ACLU attorneys would understand the law before they make comment. ICE does not have the time or the resources to make "routine" arrests like Arpaio's deputies could. Sheriff Arapio was found guilty of racial profiling in the eyes of public opinion with the help of pro illegal alien advocacy groups. Looks like Phoenix is well on its way to becoming another sanctuary city for illegal aliens thanks in large part to our ACLU.

  80. "The class struggle is the central conflict of the world; all others are incidental. When that power of the working class is once achieved, as it has been only in the Soviet Union, I am for maintaining it by any means whatever. Dictatorship is the obvious means in a world of enemies at home and abroad. I dislike it in principle as dangerous to its own objects. But the Soviet Union has already created liberties far greater than exist elsewhere in the world. … [There] I saw ... fresh, vigorous expressions of free living by workers and peasants all over the land. And further, no champion of a socialist society could fail to see that some suppression was necessary to achieve it. It could not all be done by persuasion. … [I]f American champions of civil liberty could all think in terms of economic freedom as the goal of their labors, they too would accept 'workers' democracy' as far superior to what the capitalist world offers to any but a small minority. Yes, and they would accept — regretfully, of course — the necessity of dictatorship while the job of reorganizing society on a socialist basis is being done."

    Sarah Palin Strikes Back
    by Melissa Clouthier over at PajamasMedia

    ... Palin has been sending a couple messages recently. First, she has, since stepping down as governor, started to communicate with the people not through the press but around the press. In other words, she’s speaking directly to the people through social media. ...Second, Sarah Palin has a massive army fundraising for her. It has been interesting to contemplate how she’s going to use that power. The GOP power brokers have certainly seemed disinterested in having her run for president, but they are very interested in her money and endorsements. The only problem is that they have, to use a vulgar turn of phrase, pissed in their Cheerios. They underestimated her star power. They misjudged her almost as badly as the left did; they thought she was just some feather-headed lightweight who would be nice arm candy for John McCain. She’d win the women vote because women are so stupid; ovaries are enough to win them over was the idea. Turns out that Sarah Palin was formidable because of the strength of her ideals, not just because of the strength of her beauty. And don’t forget the strength of her spine. This gross miscalculation has put the Republican Party at odds with their one star candidate. ...

    I hate them, too. I grew up in the days when they were crawling out of the woodwork, but there were trials, etc.

    Now, we have a socialist/commie as President and as Sec. of State. Both The one and Shrillary were almost physically attached to Saul Alinsky, which scares me so much.

    I was born in 1938, and saw more than I would want to, and now what I see in our Government scares me s*itless...the worst.

    Reminds me of '1984'....

  97. Nana,

    I've told he story before, when I was 11 or so a Jewish family came out of Russian into Iran. They stayed with us until passage to Israel could be arranged. The Matriarch survived both Hitler's Camps and the Stalin's Gulags.

    Anyone who makes excuses for either one makes me sick, and very angry.

  98. JCM

    Thank you....sadly, we now see fewer and fewer survivors of the death camps. There used to be at least 6-8 in our Synagogue. But Steven Spielberg is documenting the memories of the remaining ones for quite a few years. I believe that they are at UCLA. He films them, so that the world will remember, and cannot deny what happened. What makes me livid is when anything and everything is compared to the death camps, etc.

    A very dear friend was able to get out of the former Soviet Union, as her parents were engineers, and applied for going to Israel. They lost their jobs, and waited to get the papers, but they did! In the USSR, they studied Hebrew, Judasim, etc., in rotating apartemnts, always fearing a knock on the door. The family decided to move to the US, to Boston. She went to Harvard Grad School, where she met her husband, who is now a General in the US Army, working at the Pentagon..a rough commute ever weekend. He returned from Iraq after a year there a few weeks ago.

    She is, as are her husband, and son, true Republicans. Her daughter is too young to vote, but after what she has leasrned about her Mum, uncle and Grandmother re their lives in the USSR?

    She will be a great addition to the Republican Party.

  100. JCM

    Too true. When my daughter was in High School, NYS started a course on the Shoah. Her teacher was the head of the Social Services Dept. at the HS. She is black, and taught the kids all about...black slavery, etc. Not one single word re the Shoah. My daughter told us, as did the other Jewish kids in the class told their parents. We went to our Rabbi OBM, and talked to him about it. He, in turn, went to the Principal, and discussed it with him. By that time, it was too late to re-teach what was supposed to be taught, but the kids learned in Hebrew School.

    When my other 2 (daughter is #2) sons went to the Holocaust Course at the High School? Sadly, not much had chaneged. As my kids graduated in the 1980's and the youngest, in the early 1990's.

    As for what is done now? I have to wonder if it is even taught...and we have a great district.
