Here's how to create clickable links while we're on the blogspot site!
ReplyDelete1) Start with the basic link code:
<a href=""></a>
(IMPORTANT: There MUST be a space between "a" and "href".)
2) Paste your link between the quotes, like this:
<a href="http://i.imgur.com/z7GoU3U.jpg"></a>
3) Write your descriptive text between the > and <, like this:
<a href="http://i.imgur.com/z7GoU3U.jpg">Curious bunny</a>
4) To help set the link apart from regular text, bold it with b tags, like this:
<b><a href="http://i.imgur.com/z7GoU3U.jpg">Curious bunny</a></b>
If done right, the result should look and act like this:

CPS Mandates Sexual, Health Education For Kindergarten
ReplyDeleteCHICAGO (CBS) — Some people may think a five-year old is too young for sex education.
Administrators with Chicago Public schools do not.
New to the curriculum this year, mandatory sexual and health education for kindergarten classes.
CBS 2’s Dorothy Tucker took at look at the lesson the little ones will be learning.
Like every other kindergartener, Angelina Yang is learning reading, writing, arithmetic–and now sexual health education.
“I want to know what kind of education she is receiving before she gets that education,” said Angelia’s mom, Stella. ‘As a parent, I have a right to know.”
CPS insists the curriculum will use language children understand and focus on topics like bullying, correct names for external body parts and the difference between appropriate and inappropriate touching.
“As you identify body parts, you talk about should you be touched here or not.,” said Stephanie Whyte, the CPS Chief Health Officer. “And if someone touches you, and it’s uncomfortable, you should tell a trusted adult.”
Readin', 'ritin', 'rithmetic, and raunchiness!
DeleteAnd if it happens to feel comfortable???????????
DeleteSick.
That jumped out.

DeleteGood afternoon, C2!
ReplyDeleteI've heard from Lucius. He's a bit to busy to post here right now but he made a visit to memory lane.
The flash flood watch for our area has just been extended all the way through this evening! Yikes!
ReplyDeleteWe're on watch as well but it looks like it will hit east of us, as it has been.
DeleteBeing just east of you, that's not comforting.

ReplyDeleteThe truth about Obama's new executive orders targeting guns
It sure sounds scary. "Military weapons" being reimported back into the United States. Or people getting guns without background checks. But the reception being given President Obama's two new executive orders on guns largely relies on ignorance of how the current rules work.
The president's executive order banning the reimportation of "military weapons" really only affects old M-1 Garand 30-06 rifles. These rifles have been used in the Civilian Marksmanship Program program and are mainly purchased by collectors. At one time they were "military weapons," but they were used in World War II and the Korean War.
No other US-made military rifles are being imported. And, more importantly, this semi-automatic rifle is functionally no different than any semi-automatic deer hunting. They fire the same bullets at the same rapidity and do the same damage as other deer hunting rifles.
Regarding the second executive order, the only "corporate" registration is for Class III (machine guns) weapons. Again, the Obama administration doesn't provide examples of people using a corporation to register handguns or semi-automatic rifles as a way to bypass criminal background checks.
More importantly, it fails to point to any cases where such guns have been used in crimes. Corporations are used (primarily) to obtain fully-automatic machine guns, as they are usually out of the price range of most citizens (running at least about $20,000 each).
People who buy and collect FFA Class 3 arms, "machine guns" set up "Gun Trust" corporations. These corporations make it easier when an estate transfers to subsequent generations for the the firearms to be inherited. This set up is arms in question are investments and represent significant value in an estate.
DeleteI'm sure the anti gun folks will try to put a stop to that.
DeleteThat's the second EO when he talks about "corporations" buying guns.
DeleteIt's pure hogwash, the individuals still get checked out.
And as Lott points out, show us a case where a "Trust" gun was used in a crime.
I don't think these clouds are going to give us any good rain.
ReplyDeleteIn Vegas, we're unclear on the concept of "bad" rain. ;)
DeleteLOL, sorry. I should have said "measurable".

DeleteAnti-War Groups Plead Poverty as the Reason They're Not Protesting Syria Intervention
DeleteWe should start a group called "Pink Code" to protest at the Mall in Washington against intervention in Syria.

ReplyDeleteSquatch, if I were not Pietr, would I have used (redc1c4s' trademarked) White Smoke in my reply? I'm not familiar with this older site, because I've never used it. I signed on with my AIM ID, because I loathe giving other sites my personal data-I didn't know it would have me posting anonymously. Without a Frontier section, about all I'd add is 'Who recently (well, about a year ago) moved from Texas to Ohio?'. After that, I got nothin...*SIGH*

I have a suggestion. Accomplish a mutually-profitable reset with Iran by hiring contingents of IRGC Baseej to patrol the streets of these neighborhoods. Iran gets an ongoing source of hard currency. The neighborhoods get taken off the high crime list.
Delete/and the mortuary industry's stocks go sky high
No, they're aghast that anyone would say/publish such racist stuff...
ReplyDelete"There is no such thing as 'crime' in black neighborhoods. What is often labeled 'crime' is in fact a response to ongoing and systemic white racism. Ergo, there are no black criminals, and all blacks currently in jail should be immediately released."

DeleteEvidence: Syrian Rebels Used Chemical Weapons, Not Assad
ReplyDeleteMy mind is made up- Don't confuse me with facts!
Delete.
May not be an actual FCBBHO statement.
My mind is made up- Don't confuse me with facts!
DeleteProggie takes fact, then reverses it for their own agenda. The speeches at the 50th MLK "Dream" rally is a good example. The speakers reversed history to make the Civil Rights Act Proggie, with Coservatives as the nay sayers; likewise, they try to make all the democRATS heroes, instead of the ones wearing the KKK sheets, using fire hoses and attack dogs against civil rights marchers-many of which were white, conservative, and christians/jews...
Shoebat's characterization is "Muslim Brotherhood rebels". I wonder where he's getting that.
DeleteSure, some are undoubtedly MB. It was an MB uprising which got butchered in Homs by Hafez Assad, years ago.
But the al Qaida-linked rebels are not MB. They're worse.
The deserters from the Syrian Army who've gone over to the FSA most likely aren't MB either.
At first blush, Shoebat is appearing to be something of a pamphleteer.
And upon reflection, I wonder if his knee-jerk opposition to the Brotherhood biases him at least slightly in favor of the Assad Regime.

DeleteActually, thinking of a "very narrow" attack option for Gutsy Call, one which would be VERRRY visible, VERRRY symbolic, (eminently macho) and utterly ineffective ...
ReplyDelete[33.517445, 36.251633] for Bing or Google maps search
The Presidential Palace, off by itself on a hill northwest of downtown Damascus. If our cruise missiles are accurate, they can hit it without causing any collateral damage in the city below.
Assad's not going to be there, it will be utterly symbolic (like masturbation), and will merely piss off the Alawites who form the remainder hard core of the Regime's armed forces.
But Gutsy Call will be able to beat his chest in manly display ... and swing from the East Room's chandeliers like they were vines.
Delete/oh, wait, no ... I'm making a raaaaaacist suggestion, never mind
They are accurate. 5m CEP.
DeleteWhattcha wanna bet that he might have it hit?
DeleteHe'd be ill-advised to have them fired at the hill-top bases to the west and southwest. Might run into a CW stockpile for Maher's troops.
But the Palace has no down-side that I can think of.
Hey all y'all - I'm still attending to realmom and have been out of the loop for the entire day.
ReplyDeleteCan someone PLEASE tell me if Bare has said anything further about a new web site for us other than, YESTERDAY saying it would take a few hours to set up a new one???
Also, has our STUPID POTUS taken any military action against Syria yet?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
No word about the website, and no action against Syria.
