California Senator Moves to Eliminate Electoral College
I must, as per normal when the congress critters get a notion to go changing things, often for the worst, quote my own wise self.
Below is an entry from this Blog in early December. There is a pic of the so-called “blue states” broken down by county and city. The view is a bit different when looked at this way.
Original post HERE.
=====================
Let's Take a Closer Look at "Blue" America, shall we?
When the so-called "Blue States" are further regarded on a county and city basis, well things look a bit different I would argue.
We should thank our founding fathers for having the foresight to enact an electoral college. Because if they hadn't, all of America would be governed by the homeless and recipients of government handouts that populate our big cities and Indian reservations.
===================
We would also mention that, silly liberal Dianne, mine own state of Delaware, not to mention Connecticut, Rhode Island, et all, would NEVER approve such a thing. Concede their power to mighty California? Ain’t Gonna Happen.
It’s a waste of our taxpayer dollars.
From SFGATE.COMSen. Dianne Feinstein said Wednesday that when Congress returns in January, she will propose a constitutional amendment to abolish the Electoral College and replace it with a one-person, one-vote system for electing the nation's president and vice president.

I Tole You So Dept.
On 12/17/04 The Wise I wrote:
Get a load of this wording on this year’s Planned Parenthood corporate Christmas card. “Choice on Earth”. How clever is this wording that is brave enough to grace a card with season’s greetings for a newborn Babe that effectively urges the murder of future unborn babies?
In this same missive, I also asserted that this abortion mill strives to promote abortions that they may keep their jobs and federal funding.
Below, we get more details on this organization which does, on the surface, perform a public service of sorts. But which also has devolved into something more sinister with potential devastating results:
From Family.Org
Group performed about 250,000 abortions and made $35 million in 2004.
Abortions have increased, profits are up and federal dollars keep rolling in, according to the 2004 annual report of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America.
The group performed almost a quarter million abortions last year and netted a profit of $35 million—despite closing some clinics—thanks to a lot of taxpayer funding.

Saudi Arabia PR Agents Under Scrutiny
The story here is not so much the investigation in Saudi Agents’ PR activities after the attack on 9/11. The story is that a little known law from 1938 is the basis of the investigation.
So far as The Wise I am concerned they should throw all these oily liars into the nearest boat and send them back to their despostic and un-democratic country.
However, I read with intrigue this Foreign Agents Registration Act and was amazed. I never knew such a law existed. More, when I think about it, such a law NEEDS to exist.
Methinks the politicians of 1938 had the greater good of the country in mind while the politicos of this era spend millions on campaign finance reform that would keep them elected and squelch my right to free speech.
From the NYSUN
Under a federal law, the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938, American public relations agents for foreign countries must identify the source of funds for advertising or propaganda campaigns that convey political messages to an American audience. The agents are also required to register with the Justice Department and provide copies of materials they distribute in America.

Major Earthquake Yesterday
In Indonesia, slamming in at an 8.9 on the Richter scale. Over 6,000 dead from resulting Tsunamis.
I do not have much more information as of this writing but I DO have a personal anecdote. About one week ago, in the middle of the night, I felt a tremor as if the earth was shaking.
Husband has done nothing but laugh at me all week about this for we live in the tiny state of Delaware, hardly situated on any sort of fault line.
While I might have been sleepy and mistaken about the earth jolt, the shaking toilet and sloshing waters were NOT my imagination. Yes the toilet off of my bedroom actually shook and the water in the bowl sloshed around in a manner of a liquid receptacle that was shaken. There was also gurgling and glug-glugs.
This was BEFORE even the recent Alaskan earthquake and now this big one in Indonesia. None of these places located, I understand, anywhere near Delaware.
But the earth does not shake and toilets do not glug glug (we have a septic tank that I assume also shook with the tremor, sending sewer waters back through the pipeline to my toilet) for NO reason.
So far as I know no one else has reported such a thing in Delaware so go on, maybe I’m nuts. I do know there was once an earth tremor in nearby Merryland when I lived there. So it’s not like such a thing is impossible.
Yet all this shifting earth activity of late causes me to think I am not nuts.
