Right.

Too bad about Abraham, Moses, and all the other Old Testament saints.

Burning in hell forever.

Tough break.

New Zealand Denies Immigration to U.K. Wife Because She’s Too FatSaturday, November 17, 2007Fox NewsNEW YORK — New Zealand immigration officials are keeping a U.K. wife from joining her husband “down under” because they say she is too fat, the Daily Mail reports.

British citizens Rowan Trezise, 33, and Richie Trezise, 35, are living apart as she tries desperately to shed the pounds needed to comply with New Zealand guidelines that immigrants maintain a healthy BMI, or body mass index.

BMI is a weight-height ratio that estimates percentage of body fat. The New Zealand Immigration Service requires all applicants to undergo a complete medical examination, which includes body size measures like “waist circumference.”

Blessings all!!

And especially to all who believe their was is the only way… They are in need of special blessings!Amen.

Heard Christmas Carols on 2 radio stations tonight —- another year of too early and too much …

Why wouldn’t a museum praising the triumphs of George WMD Bush’s presidency become a tourist attraction?

Everyone enjoys Fantasy Land!

There’s a show on C-SPAN which discusses presidential libraries. Here’s what the draft plans for the George W. Bush Library now call for:

The Alberto Gonzales Room – Where you can’t remember any of the exhibits.

The Hurricane Katrina Room – It’s still under construction.

The Texas Air National Guard Room – Where you don’t even have to show up.

The Walter Reed Hospital Room – Where they don’t let you in.

The Guantanamo Bay Room – Where they don’t let you out.

The Weapons of Mass Destruction Room – Nobody has been able to find it.

The War in Iraq Room – After you complete your first tour, they can force you to go back for your second and third– and fourth and fifth– tours.

The K-Street Project Gift Shop – Where you can buy an election, or, if no one cares, steal one.

The Men’s Room – Where you could meet a Republican Senator (or two).

To be fair, the President has done some good things, and so the museum will have an electron microscope to help you locate those few things.

When asked, President Bush said that he didn’t care so much about the individual exhibits as long as his museum was better than his father’s.

For some lawmakers, the current U.S. Senate debate on farm subsidies strikes close to home.

At least six senators, including Kansas’ Sam Brownback, have received government agriculture handouts in recent years.

Hmmm.

Wonder how he’ll vote.

That is a fact! Here we have 2 good Americans- one a doctor in a rural area (such people are hard to come by these days) that the Bushies want to toss out of the country. Did they sneak in? NO. Did they cover up a Nazi past? NO. Did they commit a crime in the USA? NO. Did they refuse to pay taxes? NO. What they did was GET MARRIED and with Immigration that is a SIN! You see if you apply to enter the United States LEGALLY and then get married between the time you apply and you are issued a visa- which can take 10 years- then they will kick you out. I had to go through the same crap with them when we would cross the border between my wife’s country (Canada) and the USA. As long as we were single, no problem crossing but the minute we got married BIG problem. Until my wife was issued her green card- which took almost 2 years- we could not cross the border together. Only separate. So if these 2 had simply shacked up and said to hell with the marriage part, they would be fine. But instead of kicking out convicted CRIMINALS like the child rapist who killed the students in New Jersey, the Bushies would rather spend the government’s money seeing that married people are kicked out. This from the “party of family values” of course.http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071117/ap_on_re_us/doctor_immigration_appeal;_ylt=AvxpKnjaoOc2d8jTyBZJWnJH2ocA

I know you’re interested as I am in nuclear fusion.

Any major progress going on with that?

Let’s hope this research hits paydirt.

Gee, Meadowlark, maybe it’s because BushCo. has cut the IRS budget to prosecute tax evaders to the bone.

He’s against taxes and “big government,” remember?

The very things that you support Bush for are the things you later whine about.

Get a clue, RepubliCONs. Gov’t matters. You can’t strangle it and “drown it in the bathtub” (Grover Norquist) and expect only a better life.

Kerry takes oilman Pickens up on $1 million Swift Boat challenge

By Associated Press | Friday, November 16, 2007 | http://www.bostonherald.com | General Politics
Sen. John Kerry, whose 2004 presidential campaign was torpedoed by critics of his Vietnam War record, said Friday he has personally accepted Texas oilman T. Boone Pickens’ offer of $1 million to anyone who can disprove even a single charge of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.

Pickens, who provided $3 million to bankroll the group during Kerry’s race against President Bush, responded by saying he won’t consider giving Kerry the reward unless he surrenders his combat films, additional military records and wartime journal.

“While I am prepared to show they lied on allegation after allegation, you have generously offered to pay one million dollars for just one thing that can be proven false,” Kerry wrote to Pickens. “I am prepared to prove the lie beyond any reasonable doubt.”

The Massachusetts Democrat, a Navy veteran and former prosecutor, said he was willing to present his case directly to Pickens and would donate any proceeds to the Paralyzed Veterans of America.

In an interview, Kerry added: “It’s beyond me; it’s important for all the vets who served with me, who cared about it, whose own records were lied about. The problem is, it’s the way they operate on the other side, and we have to end swift-boating forever. The way to do that is to have this public accounting.”

. . . . .

While fellow veterans and reporters disproved many of the group’s claims at the time, Kerry refused to air ads responding to the criticism, and even his own response was muted for fear of legitimizing his critics’ attacks. The senator conceded after losing to Bush, the Republican incumbent, that his lackluster response likely cost him the election.

Ever since, Kerry has worked to lay the criticisms to rest.

In May 2005, he began signing the Standard Form 180, giving reporters access to his full Navy record personnel and medical records — something he refused to do during the campaign.

Subsequent reviews showed those records mostly duplicated documents Kerry released during the 2004 campaign. In addition, they included numerous commendations from commanders who went on to criticize Kerry’s service during the presidential race.

That disclosure renewed questions about why Kerry did not respond more forcefully with control over the White House at stake.

Kerry decided against launching a second bid for president, but during the 2006 midterms, and as the 2008 race has formulated, the senator proclaimed he will not only defend his own record, but prevent other candidates from being “Swift-boated.”

It seems you only complain when it is the opposite way around.

“Geez Mentalsqualk…this AGAIN”

One of the non-profits dealt with Phill Kline, but the other non-profit dealt with the Kansas Legislature. There is nothing known for sure about the non-profit behind knocking out certain State Reps.

With the IRS ignoring non-profit abuse, we want all Kansas politics controlled by secretive non-profits? You think this won’t happen again if the IRS does nothing now?

Wow!! That was GREAT!! It captures what the Christmas season and the birth of Jesus are all about!! I cannot want for “black Friday” when we all start celebrating the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ by going to the mall and knocking down and trampling old ladies and children! Jesus cannot be more pleased when he sees old ladies laying on the floor of Wal*Mart in a bloody pulp! He loves it when we celebrate his birthday by fighting over parking places! That is what the video reminds me of!

OOPS!

That’s the number of errors that were uncovered in proposed math textbooks that are under review by the State Board of Education for distribution to schools in the fall of 2008.

Is our children learning yet?

Chairman Jim Gooch, D-Providence, a longtime ally of the coal industry, said he purposefully did not invite anyone who believes in global warming to testify.

Neither of Gooch’s invited panelists was a scientist.

Prof Wilmut, who works at Edinburgh University, believes a rival method pioneered in Japan has better potential for making human embryonic cells which can be used
to grow a patient’s own cells and tissues for a vast range of
treatments, from treating strokes to heart attacks and Parkinson’s, and will be less controversial than the Dolly method, known as “nuclear transfer.”

His announcement could mark the beginning of the end for therapeutic cloning, on which tens of millions of pounds have been spent worldwide over the past decade. “I decided a few weeks ago not to pursue nuclear transfer,” Prof Wilmut said.

Britain’s new Nobel prize winner and pioneer of stem cell research, Sir Martin Evans of the Cardiff School of Biosciences, commented on the Japanese work: “This will be the long-term solution.”
