Who Will Cost You More in 2013, Democrats or Republicans?
Actually, it may not be rational to use political party to determine which politician would make a bigger dent in your wallet in 2013 should you vote for him in 2012. Rather you should ask a series of questions, not of your congressman, senator or even of the president. Instead you should interrogate their records. In an election year, just about anything any politician says is a lie. The reason for this is that if they told you the truth, you would refuse to vote for them. After all, you can’t get something for nothing but the politician you are about to vote for will tell you that you can.
Meanwhile, back at the political record…Ask history, ask the politician’s written and spoken record what was his stance on Global Warming and Climate Change. If his record says that he believes that these two phenomenon don’t exist or that we don’t need to account for them, stop. You have arrived at the politician who will cost you the least in 2013. If your wallet is your guide then vote for this man.
Let us suppose that the politician in question said that Climate Change is happening or the Global Warming is real. Your wallet just got lighter.
Suppose your politician has stated that Global warming or Climate change are real and anthropogenic or man-made. Half the cash in your wallet magically disappeared.
Now finally, what if your political representative is on record saying that the United States is the chief culprit in Climate Change and/or Global Warming? Then voting for this man is akin to emptying out your entire bank account, adding to it your salary for the whole year, putting that stack of cash into a large waste can and setting fire to it. Nor matter what your favorite politicians says with his lying lips during an election year, when there was no election and he could afford to tell the truth, he admitted that he is for an expensive carbon trading scheme that will ensure that the price of food and fuel will double. He has to do this because he is absolutely convinced that we will all die a horrible death from Climate Change or Global Warming. So, from his point of view, if he lies to you during an election, it is for your own good.
Do you know that at least some of that rioting in the middle east was about? The lack of jobs and the rising cost of food. If you vote for Congressman Climate Change or Senator Global Warming the inevitable extra expense in the cost of living will dampen the employment picture as well. Employers will pay more to keep the lights on and the trucks fueled. They will have less money to hire new people. Some of the more ill-fated Global Warming initiatives such as corn-based ethanol is actually fueling riots around the world because using corn in this way is not only inefficient ill-advised and destructive, it makes food more expensive for everyone everywhere.
So we return to the question that we started with. And now the question becomes, is one party more associated with Global Warming and Climate Change than the other?
The other day it was calculated that the average man on the earth is a 28-year-old Han Chinese male.
Not let me get this straight, given that China and India have weaker environmental controls than we do, greater populations and they are every day aspiring to our standard of living, we are supposed to believe that even in anthropogenic Climate Change was real that we are the worst culprits. Well of course. Everyone knows that capitalist coal pollutes and communist coal does not.

Now that we have survived 10-10-10 the next numerologist wet dream is 11/11/11. The 11:11 project is glomming on to the year 2011 like there is no tomorrow. Some of them believe that the 11th Gate of heaven will open up at 11:11 on 11/11/11 and stay open for 49 minutes. Well, let’s hope something good comes out…
Some folks claim that 11:11 is the wake up sign on digital clocks. Hey, this is news to me.
Some are looking for the 9th Gate of Activation. I sense some of us may wind up at the wrong gate and miss our spiritual flight…
Someone claiming to be Uri Gellar points out that 11 in binary is 3 in decimal and three is the symbol of the Trinity.
If you have ever watched the television show Fringe then perhaps we can expect something like that only good things and not shape shifters will come through.http://waitingonthenewmoon.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php

Window Rock. Stone poetry for 090909. What rises from the desert under the moonlight.
21 Dec 2012: The end of the World
To add some spiritual leavening to the bread of life that are the souls of humanity, there is an effort to get one million people to pray for peace, enlightenment and a better world starting on 11/11.
It looks like some of the 11:11 people set up a meeting in the mouth of volcano in Indonesia. I don’t think it was an active volcano when they set up the meeting. Maybe the Gods are trying to tell this particular group something. Wasn’t there an earthquake, a Tsunami and a huge Typhoon over there as as well. Maybe you should channel those spiritual energies from afar. Or at a different time. Like next year on 11/11/11. You would not want to be around when the “wrong” gate opens up and something spooky comes out. Would you? Good lucky to the 9th Gate Activation of the Spiritual Doorway folks.
I am not endorsing this because you never can tell who is legit and who isn’t but there are people who are using 11:11 to raise money for charity. Be extra careful in you giving but it’s and interesting idea.
***
Lest we forget, 11/11 is Veterans Day and Armistice Day so let us take a moment of contemplation over the peace that we enjoy and the manner in which it was achieved.

Remember the 9/9/9 celebration? It is interesting that you can derive it from the 11:11 conspiracy thusly:
(1 / 1) / 11 = 0.0909090909
It is intriguing that Acts 1:1-11 speaks of days, times and Ascended beings.
Even Oprah is being used to broadcast missives of 11:11
11 is an irreducible, master number
Revelation 19:11 ” And I saw heaven open…”

Top 11 New Year Good Luck Traditions for 2011. Happy Lucky New Year!
By poetryman69
1) Black-eyed Peas
2) Fireworks
3) Eat
4) Waltz
5) Wear White
6) Drink
7) Ice Fishing
9) Feast
10) Wear New Clothes
11) Watch the ball drop
How you celebrate the New Year depends on your heritage and your cultural traditions. Some try to scare away last year’s demons , others drink or eat away the old and toast the new. Some kill the Kitchen God–again.
Some do new things for a new year. Wearing new clothes for instance.
People like to gather together and toast to the new beginnings and to declare that the coming year will be great!
If there are a lot of church bells thereabouts people will ring them.
As long as you are coming together with family and friends eating a meal together will be in vogue.
Some welcome the New God and say goodbye to the old one.
Some repent of the foibles of the old year.
Some stay up to see the first sunrise of the new year.
In some places a simple piece of food like a grape is eaten ritualistically.
Some put charms or money in food because apparently it is good luck to break a tooth.
In many cultures people hide, seek, or wear coins or coin-like objects to attract wealth in the new year.
Drinking Champagne is often considered appropriate when the clock strikes 12 on New Year’s Eve.
Dancing the old year away is a common practice.
Some of the Northern European countries spend New Year’s Eve being cold. Very cold.
Drinking toasts to the New Year is almost universal. What you drink isn’t.
Some wear red underwear—-to be lucky at love in the New Year.
Some think about what they want in the New Year and then practice sympathetic magic to get it. Want to travel: pack your bags. Want to get rich: wave about one bill of large denomination.
Giving and getting money goes over well.
Finally you can stay home and avoid the drunks and also avoid those scary Northern Europeans with their icy stares.

A dozen ways to win a million dollars
By poetryman69
Publishers Clearing house has been giving away up to $10 million for some time no and it costs nothing but some time and a little looking at some ads to enter.
PCH million dollar sweepstakes
If you fancy yourself a pirate and you have always wanted to tell some salty sea dog to surrender the booty, try the TroppoLotto sweepstakes. Just as with most sweeps these days, you may have to get past a lot of ads to sign up and enter the sweeps but it still doesn’t cost you a dime so why complain.
TroppLotto million dollar sweepstakes
FreeLotto also runs a sweepstakes that can win you a million dollars. You can try it here:
Never sign up for anything that costs you money when entering contests and playing sweepstakes games. Don’t give your banking or credit card information since you are not buying anything.
Anyone who charges a fee for entering or winning a contest or sweepstakes is ripping you off so move on and don’t pay the fee.

7 Ways to Get Fast Cash that Do Not Work!
By poetryman69
Once in a while an otherwise rational and intelligent person will come to me with a get rich quick scheme. They will have earnest and urgent reasons why it must work. They will state that they have to act now or the opportunity will be lost (Reminds me of those congressmen who don’t read legislation but insist we must act on it now or the republic will falter!)
Some old clichés are old clichés because they are true.
If it sounds to good to be true then it probably is.
It it’s such an easy, lucrative money-making scheme, why is he sharing it with strangers. Commonsense tells you that dude has found an easier, quicker money-making scheme: Selling crap to morons!
Imagine if that device really did drive bugs and rats away. Then country folk could sic all their vermin on city folk and at last have their revenge!
If it is that good at killing living creatures or cutting grease, have you ever stopped to think that you are a living creature and that you are essentially made of grease?
Washing your hands and keeping your hands off your face will beat out hand sanitizers any day. Hey after using a gas station bathroom I go for the industrial strength hand sanitizer but on some level that stuff has to be cheapest stuff available and a world-class ripoff. Where can I sign up for shares in that company!
Did anyone else notice that governments spent billions on a vaccine no one would take for a disease that was less lethal than the normal flu?
That foot wasn’t luck for the rabbit!
Now let’s look at some rip-offs!
Betting with borrowed money and other risky business
Most men have a scheme that will not work

Want Cheap Gas? Dump Democrats
Whenever they think you aren’t looking and listening, liberals always conspire to raise energy and fuel prices to European levels. They don’t like the energy you use, they don’t like your life style and they don’t like you.

Obama’s Energy Policies Triggers Blackouts and Power Shortages?
Alex Jones is on the conspiracy warpath again. He seems to be claiming that it is Obama’s energy policies which caused the rolling blackouts experienced by Texas on the eve of the super bowl when our temperatures were staying below freezing even during the day time.
Well Obama did say that he would deliberately try to make reduce carbon based energy and to make the prices of that energy sky rocket.
Obama deliberately bankrupting power plants?

****
The science is in and the matter is settled. Just when America is barely crawling back out of a recession, President Barack Hussein Obama and his entire administration are on record saying that they intend to push forward the Climate Change and Global Warming cap and trade and carbon trading legislation. President Obama has already admitted that energy prices will skyrocket once he does this.
Can you afford to pay more money for EVERYTHING you buy? If an employer has to pay more money for every raw material he uses and the gasoline that keeps his vehicles running, do you suppose he will want to hire more people? What does your commonsense tell you?
Biofuels worse for the environment

Else’s Elses
Dictionaries don’t seem to be as inclusive and exhaustive as they used to be. It seems to me that once a week I run into some word or phrase that is already in fairly common usage that Microsoft Word or the various spell checkers I encounter online say I am misusing or misspelling.
“Else’s” comes to mind. As in “somebody else’s problem.” As far as I know, it’s a perfectly legitimate expression. When I Google it I see others have used it as well. But then again maybe Google is the graveyard of the English language and we are all of use who use the contraction in this way abusing the language. One source asked me if I meant “elses.” Who knows? Maybe I did.
Well, what about “unparseable” as in “that string is unparseable?” I was given “unparsable” as an alternative and told in effect that neither is a word. Is this all a result of our brave new virtual cyber reality? Are we the pseudo technical too careless or are the dictionary makers just too slow? Are we too quick to accept new words or to adapt to new jargon and new ways to use old words?
Well, even if we wanted to change our ways that cat is already out of the bag. I have only recently figured out what a “meme” is. Sort of. Everyone else is even quicker to jump on the new lexicon than I am.
To paraphrase the bard: What a Brave New World that has such people in it.
