Debbie Campbell on Reddish
Debbie Campbell will be the guest of Bill Reddish, 7:40 tomorrow morning on WICO 1320 AM
Swiss voters nix legal marijuana but approve legal heroin use
The world's most comprehensive legalized heroin program became permanent Sunday with overwhelming approval from Swiss voters who simultaneously rejected the decriminalization of marijuana.Does this sound strange to anyone else BUT me?And the government will be footing most of the bill....read on.
The heroin program, started in 1994, is offered in 23 centers across Switzerland. It has helped eliminate scenes of large groups of drug users shooting up openly in parks that marred Swiss cities in the 1980s and 1990s and is credited with reducing crime and improving the health and daily lives of addicts.
The nearly 1,300 selected addicts, who have been unhelped by other therapies, visit one of the centers twice a day to receive the carefully measured dose of heroin produced by a government-approved laboratory.
They keep their paraphernalia in cups labeled with their names and use the equipment and clean needles to inject themselves - four at a time - under the supervision of a nurse, and also receive counseling from psychiatrists and social workers.
The aim is to help the addicts learn how to function in society.
The United States and the U.N. narcotics board have criticized the program as potentially fueling drug abuse, but it has attracted attention from governments as far away as Australia and Canada, which in recent years have started or are considering their own programs modeled on the system.
Sixty-eight percent of the 2.26 million Swiss voters casting ballots approved making the heroin program permanent.
By contrast, around 63.2 percent of voters voted against the marijuana proposal, which was based on a separate citizens' initiative to decriminalize the consumption of marijuana and growing the plant for personal use.
Olivier Borer, 35, a musician from the northern town of Solothurn, said he welcomed the outcome in part because state action was required to help heroin addicts, but he said legalizing marijuana was a bad idea.
"I think it's very important to help these people, but not to facilitate the using of drugs," Borer said. "You can just see in the Netherlands how it's going. People just go there to smoke."
Sabina Geissbuehler-Strupler of the right-wing Swiss People's Party, which led the campaign against the heroin program, said she was disappointed in the vote.
"That is only damage limitation," she said. "Ninety-five percent of the addicts are not healed from the addiction."
Health insurance pays for the bulk of the program, which costs 26 million Swiss francs ($22 million) a year. All residents in Switzerland, which has a population of 7.5 million, are required to have health insurance, with the government paying insurance premiums for those who cannot afford it.
Jo Lang, a Green Party member of parliament from the central city of Zug, said he was disappointed in the failure of the marijuana measure because it means 600,000 people in Switzerland will be treated as criminals because they use cannabis.
"People have died from alcohol and heroin, but not from cannabis," Lang said.

Citizenship Issue on MSNBC
On Dec 5 the Supreme Court will either allow or disallow the usurpation of both the Constitution and the Government of the United States — easily the most pivotal decision since our nation’s founding — and the silence of the news media is deafening (if not downright scary).

I have received some e-mails asking if everything is OK and why are things so slow today or this weekend.
Every once in a while I need a break and weekends are usually the best time to do so. The hits are much slower on weekends and the biggest reason why Bloggers like Bill Duvall chose not to post at all on Saturdays.
Nevertheless, even though I need a break every so often, I was actually busy this weekend filling in gaps with the Salvation Army. In fact, I was supposed to be on one of the Boats last night in the Christmas Boat Parade but I got a cal at the very last minute stating how some people were in one location for almost the entire day and they had no one to replace them.
I chose that it was far more important to get out there and take over than it was to take a ride down the river on a Boat. Because of this, I was not able to get out and take photos of the Parade as well as the lights in the Park. So if anyone wants to send in photos of either or, that would be great.
I will say this however. I have received numerous calls about today"s Daily Times and how their three main local articles, I did them almost a month ago. ROTFLMAO! It looks like I can now relax for the next 4 weeks until they catch up to us once again.
Tomorrow's Posts will blow you away. Put that seat belt on Barrie Tilghman and Gary Comegys, we're about to rock the Boat like there's no tomorrow.

Was Blognetnews Listening?
After my article yesterday on Michael Schwartz and his Influential Ratings with Blognetnews with only 82 hits per day, today we were ranked #1 in Maryland, #2 in Delaware and #2 on Delmarva. My guess is they had no choice but to make some immediate changes because there's just no denying someone who only gets an average of 82 hits per day could not be considered the most Influential Blogger in the State.
This week Michael's Rankings jumped to #8 in Maryland and #14 on Delmarva. Makes more sense. Anyhow, we'll have to see how things go from this point forward because like I said yesterday, Blognetnews needs to tweak their system and make things right.

The Marine
Katie Couric, Charlie Gibson, Brian Williams and a tough old U.S. Marine Sergeant were captured by terrorists in Iraq. The leader of the terrorists told them he'd grant each of them one last request
before they were beheaded and dragged naked through the streets.
Katie Couric said, 'Well, I'm a Southerner, so I'd like one last plate of fried chicken.' The leader nodded to an underling who left and returned with the chicken. Couric ate it all and said, 'Now I can die content.'
Charlie Gibson said, 'I'm living in ' New York , so I'd like to hear the song 'The Moon and Me one last time.' The terrorist's leader nodded to another terrorist who had studied the Western world and knew the music. He returned with some rag-tag musicians and played the song. Gibson was satisfied.
Brian Williams said, 'I'm a reporter to the end. I want to take out my tape recorder and describe the scene here and what's about to happen. Maybe, someday, someone will hear it and know that I was on the job till the end.' The leader directed an aide to hand over the tape recorder and Williams dictated his comments. He then said, 'Now I can die happy.'
The leader turned and said, 'And now, Mr. US Marine, what is your final wish?'
'Kick me in the ass,' said the Marine.
'What?' asked the leader, 'Will you mock us in your last hour?'
'No, I'm NOT kidding. I want you to kick me in the ass,' insisted the Marine.
So the leader shoved him into the yard and kicked him in the ass. The Marine went sprawling, but rolled to his knees, pulled a 9 mm pistol from inside his cammies and shot the leader dead. In the resulting confusion, he emptied his sidearm on six terrorists, with his knife he slashed the throat of one with an AK-47, which he took, and sprayed the rest of the terrorists killing another 11!
In a flash, all of them were either dead or fleeing for their lives.
As the Marine was untying Couric, Gibson and Williams, they asked him, ' Why didn't you just shoot them all in the first place? Why did you ask him to kick you in the ass?'
'What!?!' replied the Marine, 'and have you three assholes report that I was the aggressor....?

Holly Has Been Adopted
I just received a cal from one of the Deputies at the Court House informing me he and his Bride just returned from the Humane Society after adopting Holly.
These are the kind of phone calls I appreciate more than any other. It will take several more days for Holly to come home as she's being micro chipped and getting the remainder of her shots and the they'll surprise the kids with an early Christmas Present.
Keep the good news coming and again, THANK YOU!
Debbie Campbells Is Ringing the Bell
Debbie Campbell is at Giant Foods right now ringing the bell for the Salvation Army. If you are out that way, stop by and help Debbie fill the kettle for a very worthy cause. Debbie has volunteered for the 9am until Noon shift today.
From A Loyal Reader
This was written following the 9-11 attacks. I do not know who wrote it. I pray that nothing like 9-11 will ever happen again. I am sending this in hopes that many who read this will remember this the next time they make stupid threats like the one against Mr. Joe and his family on Thanksgiving. I would much rather be thought of as these brave Firemen are than the one who made the threat. Although not mentioned, I think this would also apply to Policemen. These men and women did NOT run for their own safety and truly understood the REAL reason they became Fire and Police Personel. Sometimes, people need to be reminded.
I have always thought that angels wore halos and wings of white
But now I find they wear hard hats and black coats with yellow stripes
And angels, in my mind, wore long flowing gowns of white
But now I see dark pants and shirts and badges shining bright
And angels always floated with bare feet above the ground
Not true! For they wear steel toed boots and go where death is found
Not all angels have smooth hands that look like porcelain
Some angels have torn gloves and cuts and burns upon their skin
And while I thought all angels glowed from heavens light
I see an angel cutting steel his torch is shining bright
And while these earthly angels passed buckets of debris
The angels up in heaven looked down on bended knee
So while the smoke continued to rise into the sky
I watched the rescue workers weep I've seen the angels cry

Monoblogue Has No Influence Whatsoever & Here's Proof
Below are the Site Meter numbers for Monoblogue. Although Michael claims he has increased some 45% this past year, I was almost right on when I said he had very few hits and increasing 45% didn't really mean much and I was right.
It's a shame someone can put so many years into a Blog, (3+ years) and only average 82 hits per day but as I've told Michael for the past few years, he's too verbose in every single Post he does and I never believed he did any real volume anyway.
I will no longer consider his Site as one of the top Blogs on the Eastern Shore because ANYONE can start a Blog and get these kind of hits no matter what the content is. I remember when I started National-Joe-A-Graphic and I was averaging 250 hits a day 3 years ago.
Now don't get me wrong, Michael is a very smart man and knows his politics. However, when he runs around saying he's an influential political Blogger, PLEASE! Hell, he'll get more hits off this Post than he gets in one month.
Currently Michael is #1 on Delmarva and #2 in Maryland. With the information below directly from Site Meter, Blognetnews has no clue what they're doing. Now I know some Bloggers will read this and say, Albero is just ticked off because he didn't rank that high this past week. That's just not true. Quite frankly, I'm pleased someone else is filling my shoes but I will admit that I'd rather see someone beating me out who actually posts more than once a day and gets thousands of hits per day. It's pretty bad when Michael's Site beats me out with only 82 hits per day. There's no question linking to one and other works and no matter what those other Bloggers say, I now have proof.
It doesn't matter what he says, I have seen his numbers and averages and I have even saved those images for future reference but more influential, I don't think so. So the next time you rag on me Michael, the joke is now on you and will forever be that way.

A Comment Worthy Of A Post
"Jedadiah Cross has left a new comment on your post "Slow Morning":
My Christmas wish would be Joe and Chief See ringing together anywhere. In the spirit of the season, it would be nice to see them work together for a good cause. I bet the Chief would do fine if he just let his defense down and tried to get along. It would be a sight to behold and a real message of cooperation and fellowship. Can this be arranged ?"
Mr. Cross:
In the spirit the Holidays, I would be more than happy to stand with not only Chief See for two hours ringing a bell for the Salvation Army, I will also extend that same offer to Chief Webster from the Salisbury Police Department.
I believe I have proven time and time again that I am willing to put personal issues aside and do what is best for the cause, hence the Humane Society as just one example.
So, that being said, you have my word in writing on this Blog and if ANY one of you want to make that arrangement, just tell me the time and place and I will be there. I'll even go so far as to say, "any time, any place." It's the right thing to do and my guess is that we would raise more money than anyone has ever raised locally in the past for two hours worth of bell ringing.
Black Friday
While it's been a long day for many of us, I for one did absolutely no shopping whatsoever today and never planned on it.
However, it's not all about me and what I choose to do.
Did you go shopping today?
Did you find any really good deals?
Was it worth getting up at 4:00 AM?
Were the lines out of this world?
Were people in nasty moods?
You're welcome to answer one or all if you like.

A Little American History
It was the first day of a school in the USA
and a new Indian student named Chandrasekhar Subramanian entered the fourth grade.
The teacher said, "Let's begin by reviewing some American History.
Who said 'Give me Liberty , or give me Death'?"
She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Chandrasekhar, who had his hand up:
'Patrick Henry, 1775' he said.
'Very good!'
Who said 'Government of the People, by the People, for the People, shall not perish from the Earth?'
Again, no response except from Chandrasekhar.
'Abraham Lincoln, 1863' said Chandrasekhar.
The teacher snapped at the class, '
Class, you should be ashamed.
Chandrasekhar, who is new to our country,
knows more about its history than you do.'
She heard a loud whisper: 'F*ck the Indians,'
'Who said that?' she demanded. Chandrasekhar put his hand up.
'General Custer, 1862.' At that point, a student in the back said,
'I'm gonna puke.' The teacher glares around and asks
'All right! Now, who said that?'
Again, Chandrasekhar says, 'George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991.'
Now furious, another student yells,
'Oh yeah? Suck this!'
Chandrasekhar jumps out of his chair waving his hand and shouts to the teacher ,
'Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!'
Now with almost mob hysteria someone said
'You little ****. If you say anything else, I'll kill you.'
Chandrasekhar frantically yells at the top of his voice,
'Michael Jackson to the child witnesses testifying against him- 2004.'
The teacher fainted.
And as the class gathered around the teacher on the floor,
someone said, 'Oh sh!t, we're screwed!'
And Chandrasekhar said quietlly,
"I think it was the American people,
November 4, 2008."

Coded message From Bin Laden
After numerous rounds of 'We don't even know if Osama is still alive', Barrack Hussein Obama has now been telling everyone he will capture Osama Bin Laden when elected.'
So, Osama himself decided to send Barrack Hussein Obama a letter in his own handwriting to let him know he was still in the game.
Obama opened the letter and it contained a single line of coded message:
370H-SSV-0773H
Obama was baffled, so he e-mailed it to Howard Dean.
Dean and the DNC and his aides had no clue either, so they sent it to Joe Biden.
Joe Biden could not solve so it was sent to the FBI and the CIA.
Eventually they asked Rush Limbaugh to look at it.
And within a few minutes Limbaugh's Staff e-mailed Obama with this reply: 'Tell Obama he's holding the message upside down'.

And within a few minutes Limbaugh's Staff e-mailed Obama with this reply: 'Tell Obama he's holding the message upside down'.

Campbell's Campaign Website Designed By Visually Impared
Campbell Campaign Site www.Campbell4Council.net Designed for Access by the Visually Impaired
Debbie Campbell, candidate for reelection to her district 2 Salisbury City Council Seat, has announced incorporating technology innovations into her campaign website www.Campbell4Council.net to accommodate the visually impaired.
We have made every effort to make the site accessible for the visually impaired by accommodating screen readers on our pages. There are other many other features that visitors are enjoying such as icons that allow the type size to be changed, a public opinion poll to gauge public sentiment on various issues affecting the city, the ability for supporters to make contributions or volunteer on line, and was built with Joomla, an open source developer tool, which is free to everyone.
Campbell adds that not everyone is Internet savvy or even likes the idea of using a computer. This is just one way of reaching constituents, but I am especially proud that we have been able to present a site that has been designed according to Section 508 guidelines so we can be inclusive of visually impaired citizens.
Campbell learned more about how screen readers work and how her site performs during a tour of Blind Industries’ facility in Salisbury’s industrial park. Danielle Earl, Blind Industries rehabilitation specialist, clicked through the site like the master she is, checking links and demonstrating how the test is read aloud for the visually impaired. Ms. Earl called the site “very well created” and was especially impressed that the site has text to accompany most images and that the menu and tool bar were especially easy to navigate.
Blind Industries will have sales from its two Salisbury facilities that total in excess of $79 million this year. For additional photos and video clips of the plant tour and site demo visit www.Campbell4Council.net

The Three Stooges Play Robo Cops This Morning
It's Black Friday and See, Gordy and Hoppes, (The Three Stooges) are running around Salisbury giving people crap for parking in Fire Lanes at the Mall and Shopping Centers. They don't do it any other time of the year, only when it's the busiest day of the shopping season.
Now don't be alarmed. They cannot do anything to you but act like tough guys and while I agree, you should NOT ever park your vehicle in these lanes, the Three Stooges should be out enforcing this all year round rather than sitting on their fat asses doing nothing, especially See. See is about as useless as a sh!t flavored lollipop.
Hey, Three Stooges, You've Been Blogged!

Ireton Should Sue The Daily Times
Considering I dropped my subscription to the Daily Times a month or so ago, I thought the article about 10 Reasons to Elect Jim Ireton Salisbury's Mayor (David Letterman Style) was a joke.
However, someone just sent in the link to the actual article HERE and I truly could not believe my eyes. Are you F/N kidding me?
How ANY one of you can still continue to keep your subscription to this piece of crap newspaper is beyond me. Your message should be LOUD AND CLEAR, you're sick and tired of this leadership in Salisbury and their main spokes people, the Daily Times.
How many of you have had enough?

Executive Order from Republican President #16
The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God.
In the midst of a civil war of unequaled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign States to invite and to provoke their aggression, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere except in the theatre of military conflict; while that theatre has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union.
Needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defence, have not arrested the plough, the shuttle or the ship; the axe has enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well of iron and coal as of the precious metals, have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore.
Population has steadily increased, notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege and the battle-field; and the country, rejoicing in the consiousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of years with large increase of freedom.
No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy.
It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American People.
I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens.
And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquillity and Union.

Special Holiday Wishes From Gordy
"Gordy has left a new comment:
Joe, I hope you and your family die a painful, fiery death this holiday season. I can assure you we won't respond."
Here's my response. Gas is 10 cents a gallon cheaper at Sam's Club. Happy Thanksgiving Folks!

FIREWOOD!
I have readers regularly asking if I know of anyone who sells seasoned firewood. With 7.5 acres of land here and many more wooded acres next to me, firewood is not an issue for us. However, it's my understanding for others they're having a difficult time finding someone who sells and delivers cords of wood.
That being said, if YOU know of someone reliable and reasonable, please leave their name and number on this Post.
Teach your children about Thanksgiving
How to Teach Children the Meaning of Thanksgiving
By eHow Relationships & Family Editor
Many countries throughout the world have a harvest festival of some kind. In North America, Thanksgiving is the most common autumn celebration, but what does it really mean, and how should you explain it to your children?
Many countries throughout the world have a harvest festival of some kind. In North America, Thanksgiving is the most common autumn celebration, but what does it really mean, and how should you explain it to your children?
Explain the ancient origins of the harvest festival to your children. In ancient times, people of many cultures (including the ancient Greeks, Romans, Hebrews, Egyptians and Chinese) gave thanks to their god or gods for a successful harvest, and some of the traditions associated with modern Thanksgiving celebrations have their roots in these ancient festivals.
Discuss the roots of the American Thanksgiving celebration. In 1621, near the end of the Plymouth colony's first year in America, the settlers gave thanks for a plentiful first harvest. The pilgrims and the natives celebrated together (they had arranged a peace treaty), and everyone feasted on geese, ducks, deer, corn, oysters, fish and berries.
Discuss Native American issues surrounding Thanksgiving. Despite the harmonious relations that may have existed between natives and pilgrims at the first Thanksgiving feast, many subsequent American Thanksgivings involved settlers giving thanks for victories over the natives. Ask your children how they feel about this, and discuss the recent efforts that have been made by the American government and people to apologize for past discrimination and violence.
Explain when ' and why ' Thanksgiving became an official holiday. In 1863, during the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed that Thanksgiving should be a national observance. To some degree, this was a way to brighten the spirits of the American people, who were dealing with a great deal of difficulty and deprivation.
Explain that one aspect of Thanksgiving involves gratitude for having enough food to eat, and encourage your children to help you buy groceries for the food bank, or make a donation to a local soup kitchen.

The Parrot
A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity. John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to "clean up" the bird's vocabulary.
Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot.The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder. John, in desperation, threw up his hand, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer. For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute.
Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arms and said, "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior."
John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude. As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird continued, "May I ask what the turkey did?"
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
Thanks Capsfan!

Happy Thanksgiving
Dear Joe,
Allow me to take this opportunity to wish you a happy Thanksgiving that is rich with all the joy and meaning of the season. While many of us are facing real and serious challenges that may seem insurmountable at times, I believe there is also a growing sense of hope and optimism.
We have much to be thankful for in the greatness of a nation that puts the power of change in our hands; hands that labored with love to help an entire country chart a better course for all.
This Thanksgiving I will be reflecting in amazement on the millions of people like you, who came together to transform a simple expression of hope - "Yes We Can" - into a reality. I join with so many American voices this holiday in expressing my heartfelt gratitude for your contribution - no matter how large or small - that has changed the course of history and confirmed the true promise and spirit of America.
In less than two months we will experience the inauguration of Barack Obama and Joe Biden. We will begin to watch them work with a new Congress forged in your image and elected on your hopes and dreams.
The change we seek will not come instantly or easily. But the miracle of America is our ability to overcome and emerge stronger. We will overcome again.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Michael Cryor

Hmm, It's Time to Sign the Petition and Write the Justices
But beyond the birth certificate issue, there's the matter that Obama traveled to Indonesia, Pakistan, Southern India and Kenya in 1981. He said he went to Indonesia to see his mother. This seemed plausible, except for the fact that his mother returned to Hawaii in August of 1980 to file for a divorce from her second husband, Lolo Soetoro. Unless she went back to pal around with the man she divorced, she wasn't there at the time of Obama's visit.
There's another problem. No record of Obama holding an American passport prior to the one he received once becoming a U.S. senator has been found. If he traveled to Pakistan with an American passport, he wouldn't have been allowed in – since Pakistan was in turmoil in 1981 and under martial law. It was also on the State Department's travel ban list for U.S. citizens.
If he couldn't get into Pakistan with a U.S. passport, perhaps he went there with an Indonesian passport. But the only way you can get one of those is if you are an Indonesian citizen.
That's quite possible since under Indonesian law, when a male acknowledges a child as his son, it deems the son – in this case Obama – to be an Indonesian state citizen, which was also recorded by Obama's school record.
So, if he didn't go to Indonesia in 1981 to visit mom (who had returned to Hawaii by then), might it have something to do with the fact that Indonesian passports expire every five years and it was time for renewal?
Why does that matter?
If Obama would have been a U.S. citizen, 8 USC §1481(a)(2) provides loss of nationality by native born citizens upon "taking an oath or making an affirmation or other formal declaration of allegiance to a foreign state ... after having attained the age of eighteen years," in violation of 8 U.S.C. §1401(a)(1). Simply put, since Indonesia did not allow for dual citizenship, if Obama got that passport in 1981, when he was 20 years old, he effectively renounced any U.S. citizenship he may have had.
So, if the experts are right, Obama forged a Certification of Live Birth to fool America. In addition to the automatic Indonesian citizenship granted to a child acknowledged as a "son" by an Indonesian male citizen, and the Indonesian citizenship listed in Obama's school records, Obama then traveled to a place where Americans weren't allowed to go, but citizens of Indonesia were. If he obtained an Indonesian passport on his trip in 1981, he effectively renounced any American citizenship he may have had and cannot serve as president (or "rule" as president, as members of his campaign have stated). These are serious questions that must have answers.
If Obama gets into office without verification that he has met the requirements of the U.S. Constitution, if you care about life, liberty or the family, you're going to have to make hundreds of calls to try and fight an agenda that seeks to silence you.
There is a way to help prevent this. Our founders sacrificed their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor. I'm asking you to do three things.
1. Fast and pray for all the hidden things to come to light.
2. Call the Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee – in their district offices while they're home this week for Thanksgiving. Ask them to "Please hold congressional hearings to investigate whether Barack Obama meets the basic constitutional requirements for the highest office of the land."
3. Write a letter to the nine Justices of the United States Supreme Court (names are listed below) and put them in a FedEx (or other overnight) envelope to:
U.S. Supreme Court
1 First Street, N.E
Washington, D.C. 20543
Our Constitution matters and defending it is going to take an outcry from the public. The electors vote on Dec. 15. The numbers are below and your immediate action is critically needed right now. Do it before defending our liberties costs a lot more than making some phone calls and writing a few letters.
The Republican House Judiciary members: Call them at 202-225-3121, AND most importantly reach them in their district offices:

Just How Many Increases Can Salisbury Taxpayers Take?
It has recently been released the City of Salisbury Public Works wants to improve their water and sewer infrastructure in the amount of an additional $85,000,000.00 .
They also are talking about a 43% increase in their rates this year or very early into the new year.
While everyone saw the economy folding over the past three years, the Mayor, (Barrie Tilghman) continued to present packages to the Council that cost taxpayers millions of dollars, hence the new Fire Station 16 and even new Fire Trucks that weren't necessary.
It's bad enough they spent more than $80,000,000.00 on a new Waste Water Treatment Plant that might not be able to handle the volume the City currently needs, now they want another $80,000,000.00+ for larger lines because the system they created can't handle what's being delivered.
It's the typical Government style of screwing the Public. Oh look, we have a brand new WWTP but we FORGOT to tell you that once it's done we'll need to spend another $80 mil to make it work. Once you're tied in there's no turning back.
This is why you need true business people in Office. I'll just wait until the election is over and decide if I want to keep doing this any more. IF the public doesn't get out there and make changes, I'm outta here, seriously.
I look at Ocean City demanding every Department Head cut their budget like there's no tomorrow and Barrie Tilghman and Gary Comegys just keep spending. No one wants to buy and build in the City any more, (as I mentioned Monday night at the City Council Meeting). We'll see what happens in time but think about it. Are YOU spending MORE at home right now or are you cutting back in every possible way? The Country IS in FACT going bankrupt and admits they're simply printing new money for yet ANOTHER false economy. Why aren't you people demanding this STOP?

This is Ms Mayers "my space" page http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=59247231
Some observations
- First of all, her picture must be from 15 years ago (blond and youngish).
- All of her MySpace contacts are kids, many of the young females profess their love for her as if she was the leader of some girly girl cult.
- Part of her pathology may be that she sees herself as a young blond adolescent boy magnet.
PLEASE Read This Post
In 2006 a nine-year-old girl was held down in the cubby of a Seaford church while an eight-year-old sexually assaulted her.
The eight-year-old pled guilty to lesser charges in exchange for testimony against his older accomplice.
In the end the accomplice was found innocent after the judge cited too
many "inconsistencies in the testimonies" of the eight-year-old.
One teen went free the eight-year-old was registered as a tier two sex offender.
Throughout the years the victim has been through counseling, but her mother says has never and believes will never fully recover from the terrifying attack.
Yesterday morning the victim's father left for work, but never returned.
And then the phone call.
His car was found running in the parking lot of a Dunkin Donuts with him dead inside of it.
An autopsy is being performed in Baltimore, Maryland, but the family says after that they have no way of getting his body.
The mother has no money for a funeral and because the kids did not get to say goodbye she desperately wants a viewing for them.
A fund has been set up in their name to help pay for a viewing and cremation.
The mother asked her story to be told in the hopes that her daughter could say goodbye properly to one of the only men she has ever and may ever love and trust.
If you would like to donate:

FREE Durable Medical Equipment
Joe,
I have a quantity of Durable Medical Equipment (DME) that I've been trying to donate to a non-profit organization. The list includes 2 hospital beds (for home use) Walkers, Canes, Bedside Commodes, Shower Chairs and the like. The equipment is worth close to $10,000. I've tried the MS Society but they didn't want to take the time and effort to pick it up. My wife has MS so they were my first choice. I've sent an email to Coastal Hospice and they didn't even bother to answer.
All I'm looking for is to GIVE this stuff to a non-profit so that I may benefit from the tax deduction and they can benefit by helping those that need this equipment.
As the Number 1 source of news on DelMarVa, I'm hoping you can get the word out. I can be reached at: Theobald@aol.com
Thanks!

Pelosi GTxi SS/Rt Sport Edition From Congressional Motors
It's in the way you dress. The way you boogie down. The way you sign your unemployment check. You're a man who likes to do things your own way. And on those special odd-numbered Saturdays when driving is permitted, you want it in your car. It's that special feeling of a zero-emissions wind at your back and a road ahead meandering with possibilities. The kind of feeling you get behind the wheel of the Pelosi GTxi SS/Rt Sport Edition from Congressional Motors.
All new for 2012, the Pelosi GTxi SS/Rt Sport Edition is the mandatory American car so advanced it took $100 billion and an entire Congress to design it. We started with same reliable 7-way hybrid ethanol-biodeisel-electric-clean
coal-wind-solar-pedal power plant behind the base model Pelosi, but packed it with extra oomph and the sassy styling pizazz that tells the world that 1974 Detroit is
back again -- with a vengeance.
We've subsidized the features you want and taxed away the rest. With its advanced Al Gore-designed V-3 under the hood pumping out 22.5 thumping, carbon-neutral ponies of Detroit muscle, you'll never be late for the Disco or the Day Labor Shelter. Engage the pedal drive or strap on the optional jumbo mizzenmast, and the GTxi SS/Rt Sport Edition easily exceeds 2016 CAFE mileage standards. At an estimated 268 MPG, that's a savings of nearly $1800 per week in fuel cost over the 2011 Pelosi.
Even with increased performance we didn't skimp on safety. With 11-point passenger racing harnesses, 15-way airbags, and mandatory hockey helmet, you'll have the security knowing that you could survive a 45 MPH collision even if the GTxi SS/Rt were capable of that kind of illegal speed.
But the changes don't stop there. Sporty mag-style hubcaps and an all-new aggressive wedge shape designed by CM's Chief Stylist Ted Kennedy slices through the wind like an omnibus spending bill. It even features an airtight undercarriage to keep you and a passenger afloat up to 15 minutes -- even in the choppy waters of a Cap Cod inlet.
Available a rainbow of color choices to match any wardrobe, from Harvest Avocado to French Mustard.
Inside, a luxurious all-velour interior designed by Barney Frank features thoughtful appointments like in-dash condom dispenser and detachable vibrating shift knob. A special high capacity hatchback holds up to 300 aluminum cans, meaning fewer trips to the redemption center. And the standard 3 speaker Fairness ActoPhonic FM low-band sound system means you'll never miss a segment of NPR again.

Thanksgiving
One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live.
They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.
On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, 'How was the trip?'
'It was great, Dad.'
'Did you see how poor people live?' the father asked.
'Oh yeah,' said the son.
'So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?' asked the father.
The son answered:
'I saw that we have one dog and they had four.
We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end.
We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night.
Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.
We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.
We have servants who serve us, but they serve others.
We buy our food, but they grow theirs.
We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them.'
The boy's father was speechless.
Then his son added, 'Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are.'
Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have.
Appreciate every single thing you have, especially your friends!

Today is . . . Tie One On Day
Today is Wednesday, November 26, 2008. Today is "Tie One On Day."
Yes, I thought the same thing, it's a day to drink and be merry . . . but it isn't.
Tie One On Day celebrates the humble apron and the spirit of women of
earlier generations who donned the universal symbol of home, family and mothering as
the uniform of their daily wardrobe and helped make America the great country it is
today.
On the eve of Thanksgiving, wrap a loaf of bread in an apron and tuck a prayer or
note of hope in the pocket. Tie One On...an apron of course, and deliver the wrapped
bread to someone without bounty and in need.

NEWSFLASH: OBAMA Birth Certificate Found = Controversy Settled
The controversy surrounding President elect Obama needs to end before inaguration day.
The announcement was posted by a pro-Hillary Clinton blogger who grudgingly concluded that Obama "likely" was born Aug. 4, 1961 in Honolulu.
Of course, it's distantly possible that Obama's grandparents may have planted the announcement just in case their grandson needed to prove his U.S. citizenship in order to run for president someday. We suggest that those who choose to go down that path should first equip themselves with a high-quality tinfoil hat.
Now that the Irish birth video has surfaced what are Americans supposed to think?
There has been a lot of talk about President Elect Barack H. Obama's birth certificate and eligibility to run for office.
This video puts the entire issue to bed once and for all.
A reader who commented on yesterdays post on the subject pointed us to another website which has a copy of a birth announcement in the Honolulu Advertiser from Sunday August 13, 1961.
In fact, the conspiracy would need to be even deeper than our colleagues realized. In late July, a researcher looking to dig up dirt on Obama instead found a birth announcement that had been published in the Honolulu Advertiser on Sunday, Aug. 13, 1961:
The announcement was posted by a pro-Hillary Clinton blogger who grudgingly concluded that Obama "likely" was born Aug. 4, 1961 in Honolulu.

Cat Country Iraq Baskets
I just wanted to personally thank everyone at Cat Country Radio and RedNeckBaskets.com.
They were running a contest that awarded 5 servicemen/women a 17 lb. basket full of goodies that cost around $100 each. You had to send (email) in a 150 word essay explaining why this person should win this. My son was fortunate enough to be one of the five chosen. He knows nothing about this and will be surprised as hell when this gets to him before Christmas.
I just wanted them to know that I appreciate them for the opportunity to share my feelings about my son not being home for the first time for the holidays. I am sure the other four that will be receiving this will feel the same. Thank you again Cat Country and RedNeck Baskets
Sincerely,
Laurie B.

America Headed for Breakup?
A few weeks ago I gave a historical account about how the eastern shore of Maryland had attempted a secession move from the western shore. Remember how I pointed out that the Delaware legislature unanimously gave their consent to have us unite under their umbrella.
And then more recently, again, Lowell Stoltzfus sponsored State legislation for secession in an attempt to have us decide our own fate through self-determination. Don't think this is something that was just conjured-up on a whim. It holds validity. Joe has repeated pointed out on this very blog the vast disparity in DE Real Estate property taxes verses Maryland not to mention the sales tax issue. And I can tell you first hand that I hear about these issues from my own customers on a daily basis.
Well tonight, Glen Beck will have a special on how our fellow countrymen view the prospect of a severed States. Texas never wanted to become part of our Union and that view is held widely even up to this very day.
Could Maryland's eastern shore be the very first State to declare its independence? Rifts are growing in California whereby Governor Schwarzenegger wants more of the Federal pie. So also in New York. And even here on the eastern shore when I ask the Comptroller's office for a formula to show how much of the sales tax collections are being returned back into our locality - Wicomico - they say it is also often requested from other jurisdictions . . .but nothing is ever provided to give an accurate accounting. Instead, tensions continue to mount.
On Today's Glen Beck Program Is America headed for a breakup? A Russian analyst has predicted that the United States will decline and divide into separate parts, according to the Drudge Report. Glenn has talked about the rising disenfranchisement in the country and how states aren't necessarily bound to stick around -- is it possible for states to start bailing? Glenn shows how he thinks the new country will look in this amazing illustration. Read the transcript.

Unsolved Mystery; Obama's Birth Certificate... The Saga Continues
This is posted for the PHD and all the others who continue to question why "the right wing racists" continue to ask questions about the President Elects failure to produce documents.
Every American should be proud of the accomplishments of Senator Obama in being elected by an overwhelming majority to the highest office in the land.
This accomplishment is being tarnished by his refusal to provide his birth certificate, proof that he did not give up his American citizenship to attend Indonesian Schools (which only allowed Indonesian Citizens) and copies of his College records to see if he was enrolled as a US Citizen or an Indonesian citizen.
Allan Keyes, a black man who ran for President is suing in the State of California for Senator Obama to produce these documents, so its not an issue of race, its an issue of honor.
The people simply want the answers to the man so can be given the honor and respect due as President of the United States of America.

You Wanted PROOF, Here's PROOF!
Click on images to enlarge. Some of you may have to print these documents to read them. However, this is graphic details of Mrs. Mayers wrong doings. Now, for ALL of those people defending her and or the School, perhaps you'll think twice the next time you want to challenge us.
Some words of wisdom
- Some days you're the dog, some days you're the hydrant.
- The next time you feel like complaining, remember: Your garbage disposal probably eats better than 30% of hungry people in this world.
- Ever notice that the people who spend money on beer, cigarettes and lottery tickets are always complaining that they are broke and not feeling well?
- No one listens until you make a mistake.
- Beware of the toes you step on today. Those toes could be attached to the ass you may have to kiss tomorrow.
- Despite the cost of living, it remains very popular.

PAC-14 and Global Warming – Part II
It never ceases to amaze me. People on the left seem to think that all they have to do is change the wording a little bit and the stupid masses (that's you and me) will just fall in line like so many sheep. This is exactly what Mike Goodson, Mike Pretl and the rest of the wannabe PAC-14 pirates are attempting right now.
In a conversation I had just last week with one of this merry little gang I was actually told that THEIR approach -
is the CONSERVATIVE approach to managing PAC-14. I'm still laughing.
Their argument goes something like this:
Allowing the Wicomico County Council and the Mayor of Salisbury (with confirmation by the city council) to appoint the PAC-14 board is equivalent to government control. Such government control will inevitably lead to CENSORSHIP and politicization of PAC-14's content. Only governance by a COMMUNITY board will assure that THE PEOPLE maintain control.
I'll admit that the argument sounds great. There is not one ounce of truth to it, but it sounds great.

Another Viewpoint on the Obama Birth Certificate Debate
There has been a lot of activity from people who are claiming that President Elect Obama has provided PROOF of eligablilty to run for president in the form of a valid birth certificate.
The debate has brought too much controversy and it should end.
The debate should end by Obama coming clean and producing the documents to show he did not give up his citizenship while living abroad Indonesia as an Indonesian Citizen.
The President elect needs to open his records from Harvard to prove that his enrollment was as an American citizen, not a foreign student.
Did Obama give up his American citizenship by going to schools that only allowed Indonesian citizens?
To those on both sides: Please watch the video before ranting
