Well now the Obama administration has another Kill under its belt. The "number two" in Al Qaeda has been eliminated. But unlike the others THIS one was SO much an instrumental Key to the every day opperation of Al Qaeda that his loss may be irreplacable. The Al Qaeda number one guy is Zwahari, who is an older man. But it was Al Libi who made the final decisions which attacks to carry out on Americans and the one who made a lot of Al Qaeda's propaganda speeches and the one Zwahari depended on greatly. He was brought down by a US drone firing missiles. This whole Drone business was Joe Byden's idea who advocated it years ago on Meet the Press as a good success tactict we should use, and it seems that Drones have definitely paid off. Whether we want Drones spying us by local Police departments is another matter alltogether, however.
The Walt Disney Corporation will stop advertizing "Junk food" to kids on any of their programs marketed to children. They have stopped serving trans fat foods in their theme parks as of several years ago. These new food guidelines include strict calorie and nutritional regulation, as well as being low sodium, fat, and sugar, as well as limited portion size. Needless to say I think all these new regulations totally suck because they are all trying to turn us into some sort of dried fruit and nuts society - - not that these are bad, but I think in cases of diets - fads come and go and now they are saying that this whole bottled water craze may be unhealthy for you because the human body just does not need that much water. If Disney wants to actually do something Constructive, why don't they eliminate Gay day as Disneyland.
Every indication is that Proposition 29 will indeed pass in California. Not even the most recent polls taken like five minutes ago show any different. This means cigarettes will go up in price by a dollar and ditto for cigars. They used to make the argument that high cigarette taxes were counter-productive because it would just encourage cigarette boot-leggers and that way the state gets NO tax. Do they really want that? I mean people like Judy say that "laws of supply and demand and market forces" trump morality every time and I suspect this indeed will be the case when Proposition 29 actually goes into effect.
It appears that Scott Walker has survived the recall attempt. CBS news projects Scott Walker as "the winner in today's recall election" and his people are already celebrating. So Armageddon has arrived and now MItt Romney and the tea party organization will be unstoppable. All the hype from Ed Schultz and company about record high turn-outs in the State, proved for naught. And besides even if the votes were close as exit polls indicated, then they'd just rig the figures their way in the voter machine manipulation or mysteriously find another forty thousand votes stuffed in some shoe box somewhere that the regestrar claims were never counted. Of course Walker refused to negotiate what so ever with the teacher's union no matter how many concessions they were willing to make. He wasn't after a deal, he was after "making a statement' like he told that woman. His strategy was to "divide and conquer' by making the private unions think they were safe from his scruteny but was only going after government Unions. That is- - at least for the time being.
Jerry Sundusky, that boy molesting coach at Penn State's trial is going forward this week. Now they have introduced love letters written to various boys and one in particular who is 28 now who claims that Sandusky gave him every manner of gift. Of course Rush Limbaugh doesn't see why the left is making such a big thing out of this child molestation scandal anyhow and tarnishing the fine record of Penn State and all. But you have to know you can't hide these sorts of things forever.
I continue to not be happy with my blogger numbers. It still puzzles me why more people don't if anything just stumble upon one of my blogs by accident. But then "The powers that Be" do have their say, don't they, and there is no questioning them. We know that whatever is going to happen on the national scene is already predestined. But that doesn't mean we have to like it.
