It's refreshing to read about a corporation doing a good thing, the right thing, and not makin' a big deal about it. Hat tip to Greybeard at Pitchpull.

A LETTER FROM JESUS

Episode #8 of The Voice of Liberty Podcast Network is up. Andrea Shea-King is second in the line-up with a letter from Jesus. Merry Christmas.

WHO'S WORKIN' THIS ROOM?

In the game of Entitlement Poker, most people think the "race" card is the highest, most powerful card in the deck. Wrong. There's another card that trumps that one: the "slave" card. Nothing beats it.

If a politician knows the "race" card's in play, said politician folds every time. If that same politician thinks there's even the slightest chance that the "slave" card's in the deck, said politician doesn't take a seat in the game. It's simply a losing proposition. By not taking a seat, however, the politician actually wins. We lose.

Entitlement Poker is being played across our Nation and has been for decades. It's a growth industry. The stakes are big. Usually it's a quiet game, conducted smoothly and mostly free-of-charge. The pit boss rarely has to step in to make a decision, especially if the "Race" card's in play.

These days, the game that's being played in New Orleans is anything but quiet. The "house" has floated the idea that all seated players must actually pay for their chips, or a portion of them, anyway. The players consider this idea preposterous and unacceptable. Unfair. Who can blame them? Hell, I want a seat in a game where the "house" pays for the chips, and I know you do too.

Well, it looks like the pit boss in New Orleans will be forced to make a decision on this one. In this room, Ray Nagin's the pit boss, but I don't see him on the floor. So, I ask you: Who's workin' this room?

Like I said before, the stakes in this game are big. The game is becoming heated; people are beginning to gather around, taking notice. There's only a few more hands to be played in this crooked, insidious game of Entitlement Poker, and soon one of the players will be leaving the table--busted. Who's it gonna be?

TESTING 1,2,3...

The object of the game is to move the red block around without getting hit by the blue blocks or touching the black walls. If you can go longer than 18 seconds you are phenomenal. It's been said that the US Air Force uses this for fighter pilots. They are expected to go for at least 2 minutes. Give it a try but be careful..it is addictive!!

IKE TURNER BEATS TINA TURNER TO DEATH

WHO IS THIS LOVELY AND MYSTERIOUS WOMAN ?

Yesterday, while messing around with her camera, she composed this photo of herself in a round, table mirror. She says she doesn't take a good picture but admits this one isn't too bad. Isn't too bad? I think it's a beautiful picture.

When she blogged full-time, her work ranged from witty and amusing to serious and educational. Often her work had impact. For her, she admits, blogging is additive, and because of that reality she stepped away from it in order to pursue her other interest: writing. We miss her blogging.

When I first began blogging 3 years ago, she's one of the first people I had the pleasure of getting to know. Since she doesn't blog anymore, our contacts are reduced to an occasional comment at my site or an email thread. I miss her blogging.

Almost everyone who knows her work, loves her. John Kerry wishes people like her didn't blog, ever. I posted about it. (to save her the comment, she'll be the first to admit she wasn't alone in this effort)

When I was faced with the most devastating and challenging event of my life, my phone rang; her voice was on the other end.

Powerful medicine.

It's a beautiful face. It's the face of Kitty Myers.

One day, when she returns to blogging, you can see her work at Kitty Litter. But for now, you can enjoy her work as a writer by going here.

We miss your blogging.

CLINTON FUNDRAISER, PETER PAUL, JOINS ANDREA SHEA-KING FOR A LITTLE ONE-ON-ONE ABOUT THE CLINTON MACHINE

UPDATE: Due to illness in the family, Peter Paul had to cancel his appearance. However, his associate and co-producer, Doug Cogan, will fill-in for him.

That's a picture of Her Royal Pantsuit and Peter Paul, HRP's largest fundraiser in 2000. After getting what it wanted, the Clinton Machine paid Paul back by ruining his business, and now he's talking.

Not only is he talking, he's talking to Andrea Shea-King--Tonight!! Show time is 9 PM ET on BlogTalkRadio.

A GIFT FROM OUR GRANDFATHERS

At the bottom of the photo (click to enlarge) it says:

"Human Statue of Liberty", this image was taken at Camp Dodge in Iowa and used eighteen thousand men.

No date was given, however, the email this came in said it appeared to be WWI uniforms.

**I found the website that covers the history of this photo. There are other amazing photos too.

BRENT BOZELL, HILLARY, THE MSM

NEWSMAX is highlighting a book written by Brent Bozell and Tim Graham that deals with Her Royal Pantsuit and the MSM. I'm posting about this for two reasons:

First, Brent Bozell, if you weren't aware, is a person you'll be hearing a lot more about through his work at Newsbusters. Things are cooking. Btw, am I the last person to know that Wm F. Buckley's his uncle?

Second, the article mentions how the MSM aided Bill and Hillary at the beginning of his quest for the presidency. I remember watching a 60 Minutes interview in the early 90s, thinking that this Clinton fellow would get creamed when faced with all the questions about his affair(s). I wasn't as smart back then, but I was sure 60 Minutes would hit him hard and his campaign would be damaged. And I was curious how he would handle this intrusion into his personal life, especially with his wife sitting next to him.

Needless to say, he survived the interview, as did his wife. From NEWSMAX:

"Beginning with an examination of the Gennifer Flowers scandal that broke at the time Bill Clinton was seeking the presidency, Bozell and Graham show how the media leapt to the Clinton’s defense, setting the pattern it would follow from that point on — no matter how well documented the charges against the Clintons were, they were victims of a smear while the accusers were always villains.

Wrote the authors: “reporters knew all along that Bill Clinton was a serial adulterer and therefore also a serial liar about his sham of a marriage. That made Hillary a serial liar of course as she repeatedly aided and abetted that myth with statements of her own. This too, the media accepted.”

They quote Washington Times editorial page editor Tony Blankley as telling them "they took for granted that Hillary knew that she was lying and they chose not to report it. They subordinated their journalism for their support for Hillary.”

In this week's edition, Andrea tells us about a man who has single-handedly redefined support for our past veterans. And, btw, Andrea will be traveling to Washington D.C. this week to meet with this man. (video)

GOOD NEWS ALL AROUND--BATISTE BOMBSHELL HITS ANTI-WAR LEFT

All this good news can be found at The Washington Post.

How will MSNBC, CNN and their sister networks AVOID covering all this good news? Reid, Pelosi, and Murtha?

DR. JEROME CORSI--HE MUST BE CRAZY, OR SO I'M TOLD

I've been told on many occasions that the NAFTA SUPERHIGHWAY is a conspiracy theory. A fantasy that is being promoted by a bunch of "CTs", as some like to say, that has no basis in fact. Just a fantasy.

On many occasions I've read that Dr. Jerome Corsi is a nut. It was in all the papers and certain blogs at one time or another. A lunatic, he is. Hmmm. Thinking back to 2004, I don't remember too many people from the "right" saying he was a nut, especially when it came to John Kerry becoming our next president.

Back then he was mentally stable. But when it comes to the NORTH AMERICAN UNION and the NAFTA SUPERHIGHWAY, he's all of a sudden a prime candidate for a padded cell. After all, there wasn't a memo anywhere to be found detailing the plan.

Anyway, this nutcase, Dr. Jerome Corsi, has written a new article. The video below was included in it along with a few other conspiracy items (fantasies). Corsi didn't find the memo, either, so I doubt it would do you any good to read the article. Unless, of course, you're a thinking person who is willing and able to ask questions.

MITT'S LAWN CARE PROBLEMS; THE SPEECH

First of all, this video requires a LANGUAGE WARNING. Nathan in Orlando directed us to these guys via email and we're glad he did, because they are funny. Thanks, Nathan.

Since Mitt's giving the BIG speech today, it's appropriate that you view this first. Jackie and Dunlap do these videos when there's something of interest in the news. You can view their work here. Lots of great stuff.

If you'd like to watch Mitt's speech "live", Malkin shows you how here. If you miss the "live" speech, I'm sure they'll have it available for replay, or check over at YouTube.

GOVERNMENT: "HILLARY" VERY UNPOPULAR NAME FOR NEWBORNS

Today I received an interesting email that pointed out the popularity, or lack thereof, of baby names. Of course, the email was focused on the name "Hillary" and its ranking over the past 15 years--'92-'06. Rankings are on a scale from 1-1000. If a particular name falls outside the range, it gets no listing. (Sorry, Kitty)

A couple names that are almost never given to babies anymore: Ebenezer and Adolph. I don't think an explanation is needed.

Now, back to the name Hillary. With the presidential process beginning to boil, I think her name's ranking over the last 15 years is significant, especially since she carries such high negatives. You might not think so, however, at the very least, it's interesting.

Starting in '92, her name was very popular at 131. After that, it went in the toilet. In fact, for two years it was outside the range of 1000. The last year of stats--'06--has it on the ledge at 982. The stats, btw, are gathered by the Social Security Administration. The stats graphed below are from another source but the rankings are similar and go back to '60. The graph is easier to look at too.

You'll have to decided for yourselves whether "Hillary", the person, is the reason parents are avoiding the name.

After reading all about Her Royal Pantsuit's name, I thought it would be fun to check out the names of a few folks in my tiny world. Ok, here we go:

1. Kitty--again, sorry. I love the name, parents don't.

2. Pamela and Douglas--Average and above average in rankings. Solid.

3. Stew--Sorry. Get together with Kitty. "Stewart" ranks with Hillary, though.

4. Gayle--Ouch. See #3. Mary Ann, join Gayle for drinks.

5. Charles--Yikes. Very popular.

6. Aaron and Andrea--Scary popular.

7. John--Wow.

My first and middle name: William David-- My apologies to #1 thru #6. According to these stats, I'm only able to hang out with #7. See ya!

Have fun checking it yourself. Social Security Administration website. Scroll a tiny bit and you'll find the stat checker on the right.

AND THIS MAN WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT?

When this story came out a year ago, it was bad. When the subject was revisited at the last republican debate, it was embarrassing. For this to happen, again, is just down right moronic. Rudy will feast on this story for quite some time. Read more.

JUST IN TIME FOR OSCAR CONSIDERATION

This is an alert from the makers of Mohammad Brand Products: In addition to their other fine quality products, MBP is pleased to announce that they're expanding into full-length movie production.

This bombshell of a love story may or may not be coming to a theatre near you.

GIFT IDEAS FROM MOHAMMED BRAND PRODUCTS

With all the controversy in the Sudan over the Teddy Bear named "Mohammed", it's refreshing to see some folks who aren't running away in fear at the mere mention of poor ol' Mohammed. In fact, these guys are embracing Him by developing a new Brand Name in breakfast foods. Also, they have some really cool gift ideas for the holiday season, or as I like to call it, Christmas.

I eat Grape-Nuts everyday, but this cereal has my attention.

"PURE EVILNESS"--updated

Mitt Romney will have to work around the clock to get a handle on this story. But, no matter how hard he works at it, Rudy Giuliani will be hitting the Romney campaign at every opportunity. Before it's over, I expect the other republican candidates to pile on as well. Oh, and don't forget Bill O'Reilly; this story's smack dab in the middle of his wheelhouse.

UPDATE: I am told that this story already ran during Thanksgiving, then went away. I missed it. A Google search confirms this. Sunday, Dec 2nd, this story and the picture ran as the headline at the LA Times. Just a little out of step with the rest of the msm. Here's some background on how this judge was confirmed.

Malkin has more from Romney's state.
