Houston ISD To Band Students From Sexting

2009-07-14T03:25:00.002-05:00

The Houston Independent School District (HISD) school board is expected to revise the Student Code of Conduct to ban students from sending sexually provoactive photos by phone.

How in the HELL are they going to enforce that?

Read the story in the Houston Chronicle here.

"It's a response to an issue that principals brought up. A girlfriend sends a picture to a boyfriend, who sends it to a friend, and pretty soon it's all over the school. To the extent it's an issue. We want to put kids on notice we're not going to tolerate it." - Hans Graff, Houston ISD's assistant general counsel.

Views of Ted Nugent in Texas

2009-07-07T05:08:00.004-05:00

Insomnia set in again last night and I sit up surfing while knowing I cannot go to sleep. One thing lead to another and in the middle of my surfing, I came across a piece on Ted Nugent and his living near Waco, Texas.

Further searching and I found he is writing columns for various publications. I found one he had written for the Waco Tribune Herald. I have the link here.

The interesting thing is a list of what he believes. I have posted it below. Please let me know what YOU think.

He certainly has a way of putting things. I would LOVE to see him run for office. After all, we could use someone in Washington to take Al Franken down a few notches.

* We know that hunting, fishing and trapping are perfect.

* We know that to keep and bear arms is an individual, God-given right.

* We know that "keep" means "it's mine, you can't have it," and that "bear" means "I've got it right here on me."

* We know what "shall not be infringed" means.

* We know all too well that "gun-free zones" are a guaranteed recipe for disaster.

* We know that the current system of over-taxation cripples entrepreneurs and small businesses while rewarding the most slovenly amongst us.

* We know that upon the death of a loved family member, the government has no rational right to one red cent of our families' after-tax savings.

* We know that the IRS is a joke.

* We know that throwing money at our failed education system will make it worse.

* We know that the current system of testing students is counterproductive to actually teaching them.

* We know that violent criminals should never be let out of their cages.

* We know that child predators should be put to death.

* We know that you cannot live the American Dream without speaking English. Properly.

* We know that generations of welfare brats are slaves to soulless policies.

* We know that Rev. Jeremiah Wright is a racist.

* We know that David Koresh was loony, but the government was guilty of criminal acts against its citizens in how its agents dealt with him.

* We know that ethanol is a joke.

* We know that Willie Nelson is stoned.

* We know America is doomed if we don't secure our borders from illegal invaders.

* We know that Hillary and Obama have made it clear they want to ruin America.

* We don't know what the hell John McCain wants to do.

* We know what "Don't Tread on Me" means.

The article ended with the following statement:

God bless America and God bless Texas. Ted Nugent loves you.

Red State Update: Senator Al Franken

Obama to Seek a Third Term?

2009-07-02T12:15:00.000-05:00

Rush Limbaugh was quoted today on his radio program that Barack HUSSEIN Obama (aka Little Barry Soetoro, Oprah's Love Child, The Boy Wonder, BO, The Big ZERO, P Bo. The Cult Leader) and his political operatives may already have begun laying the groundwork for a third term.

“You have to wonder if Obama is just trying to lay a foundation for not being a hypocrite when he tries to serve beyond 2016. I wouldn't be at all surprised if in the next number of years there is a move on the 22nd Amendment.”

This would not surprise me one bit. Click here to read the story on Newsmax.com.

White House, Gibbs Taken to Task by Reed (CBS) and Helen Thomas

2009-07-01T15:28:00.007-05:00

Chip Reed of CBS News and Helen Thomas of the Hearst News Service take White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs to task on the selection of questions for The POTUS at his town hall meeting tonight. I could not believe Helen Thomas is turning against Gibbs and The Boy Wonder.

Watch the video below and tell me what you think.

I never thought I would actually like something that came out of Helen Thomas' mouth.

Of course, the more Gibbs uses that left-wing, liberal snotty, “I’m smarter than you” attitude on the press, the more they’re going to go after him and Little Barry Soetoro.

"I don't have to e mail it. I can tell you right now what I want to say." - Helen Thomas

Obama Comforts Cancer Patient at Town Hall Meeting. WAS IT A PLANT?

2009-07-01T13:32:00.003-05:00

Obama comforts cancer patient at town hall meeting
© 2009 The Associated Press
July 1, 2009, 1:04PM

ANNANDALE, Va. — President Barack Obama hugged a woman who told him at a town hall meeting she has cancer but no way to pay her expenses.

Obama said the woman, identified as "Debbie," is a "perfect example" of someone who has gotten caught up and is lost in a broken health care system. He said "she's not getting the best care" and called her "Exhibit A" in the case he's trying to make for a new system.

She had stood up at the forum at Northern Virginia Community College to say she wasn't sure she could get across her message, and then did so, although haltingly at times. Obama asked her to step over and he gave her a hug and said his administration would do what it could to help.

One just knows this was a plant. I would like to know her full name and have her background checked out. I wonder if this will be like the woman who said she could not make her house payment and The Boy Wonder stated he would help (then did nothing). In fact, it was a Republican who helped the woman in the end.

She Wore A Yellow Ribbon

2009-06-27T00:39:00.003-05:00

A clip from "She Wore A Yellow Ribbon" with John Wayne and Ben Johnson.

"She Wore a Yellow Ribbon" is a 1949 western film directed by John Ford and was the second of Ford's trilogy of films focusing on the US Cavalry, the other two films being Fort Apache (1948) and Rio Grande (1950).

With a budget of $1.6 million, the film was one of the most expensive westerns of the time, but became a major hit for RKO and remains a popular classic today.

"That ain't my department." - Ben Johnson as Sgt. Tyree

An Educational Method That GOT Results

2009-06-26T22:54:00.000-05:00

Noted speech therapist John Wayne uses an unorthodox, yet effective method to cure a young man of a speech impediment.

It would be great if we, as educators, were allowed to use such methods to get the job done in the classroom. Sometimes using PC methods only results in further problems. After all, most of MY generation was raised like this, and we didn't turn out half bad.

"Trying don't get it done." - John Wayne in the movie "The Cowboys"

Red State Update: Governor Mark Sanford's Affair With Argentinian Mistress

Jackie Broyles is mad at Republican Governor Mark Sanford and his cheatin' ways. But Dunlap understands. Will Argentina, after they see this? Hopefully. If not, it's Mark Sanford's fault.

Obamamania and the Houston Mayoral Race

2009-06-22T21:29:00.014-05:00

Today My Lovely Bride and I were driving around Houston, seeing the sites. We were stopped at a light at the corner of Alabama and Travis and I spied the following painted on the side of a building.

To the right of the previous sign was this:

Below shows how the were together on the same external wall of the building.

We made the block to see what the building was. It turned out to be a campaign headquarters for Gene Locke for Mayor. He is running for mayor of Houston. The thing that caught my eye was the the signs did not have the weather beaten look of signs that had been up since before the election. In fact, they looked almost new.

I wondered about how Obamamania has overtaken the country and people using him and his image for every imaginable thing. As I have stated numerous times in the past, Barack HUSSEIN Obama (aka Little Barry Soetoro, Oprah's Love Child, The Boy Wonder, BO, The Big ZERO, P Bo. The Cult Leader) is a rock star, not a POTUS. Could you imagine if a poster of either President Bush or Ronald Reagan was on the side of a building such as the above photos? They would have been defaced within hours.

People have been caught up in Obamamania since way before the election and it is taking this country right down the toilet and I have not even addressed Tony Hawk skateboarding in down a hall of the White House.

"...a person with the indisputable intellect necessary to comprehend the complexities of the international crisis . . . a person with the persuasive prowess to be able to engender the symbiosis between the masses and the classes." - Democrat Congressman Gene Green talking about Gene Locke

Obama: "Love Thy Neighbor As Thyself"

2009-06-19T14:29:00.004-05:00

Barack HUSSEIN Obama (aka Little Barry Soetoro, Oprah's Love Child, The Boy Wonder, BO, The Big ZERO, P Bo. The Cult Leader) says the biblical command to "love thy neighbor as thyself" is as pertinent now as it has ever has been in remarks at the Esperanza National Hispanic Prayer Breakfast and Conference in Washington.

The Boy Wonder stated Friday that an entire community suffers when some members cannot pay their mortgages or find jobs.

Again the hypocritical mantra of BO amazes me. I believe The Big Zero has mentioned God and religion more than George W. Bush even did. Where are the liberals complaining about religion and politics?

I guess Little Barry Soetoro feel whatever help his agenda is fair game.

Houston Area Homeowner KILLS Teen Crackhead

2009-06-18T07:30:00.004-05:00

A 69-year old Houston homeowner shot and killed a 17-year-old teen crackhead in his yard on Wednesday (yesterday).

Read the article in the Houston Chronicle here.

Much has been posted on the Chronicle's forums in the past two days. The majority view the situation as it was a justifiable shooting. The police have referred the case to the grand jury without charges.

I will post updates as they occur.

Is American Fast Slipping Into A Third World Country?

2009-06-15T19:33:00.004-05:00

There was an article today in the Houston Chronicle concerning the launch of space shuttle Endeavour.
The story gave the pros and cons of a Wednesday launch and as usual, sparked various comments on the story.

A poster, JewelryArnold, wrote the following comment on the article.

And without NASA America slips into 3rd world status where it is teetering on already. Wake up people, America will soon if it has not been passed up by smart brains in China and India. The way I see it, America is finished! All this bickering of where to spend money. Technology is the name of the game for the upcoming century and if you are not on board then you are left in the ashes. Children in countries such as China and India want to succeed and make something good out of their lives, in America all they can think to be is a Rap star or a basketball player, a far cry from a technical mind which they need to put them back on top of the world as far as education goes. All you people do is blame either the democrats or the republicans, how stupid!! Do you remember when America first went to the moon, America was looked up to, well not any more. Now America is looked to for starting wars it is a war mongering nation only and that is where all your tax dollars are being spent. WAKE UP STUPID AMERICANS!!

I found myself both agreeing and disagreeing with JewelryArnold. However he did made one point that I did completely agree with. It was "Wake up people, America will soon if it has not been passed up by smart brains in China and India. The way I see it, America is finished! All this bickering of where to spend money. Technology is the name of the game for the upcoming century and if you are not on board then you are left in the ashes."

I posted the following response:

JewelryArnold: I must agree with one of your points. America is INDEED slipping into third world status. Technology IS the name of the game for the current (21st) and upcoming (22nd) centuries. Education in this country is being dumbed down to allow everyone to succeed and in doing so, lowers the achievement level of everyone. People NEED to fail if they cannot cut the mustard. I am in education and see it every day. The level at which I am forced to teach today is so much lower than 30 years ago. We are forced to think about the students' "feelings" more than educating them. China and India have passed us in the level of success when it comes to education. This may offend some (and I really don't care if it does), but the culture of many of our students is driven by the ME...ME...ME attitude. What is in it for me? How is this going to profit me? How hard is this going to be on me? When these students' parents and families do not value education, they why should they? They expect that have a property right to everything, and in order to appease them, politicians from both parties are more than happy to provide all their needs in order to secure their support and insure their desire to remain in power. I could go on for hours on this topic, but for now I will close with a quote from the movie "Caddyshack." To quote Judge Smails, "The world needs ditch diggers, too." IMHO, if people are too stupid, too lazy, or by any other personal choice are unwilling to make something of their lives, then they can dig those ditches, shovel crap, flip burgers, or do whatever menial tasks they can find to survive. I really do not care. If they do not care about their lives, then why should the self motivated, educated people of the world care? I worked hard to get what I have and they can do the same or they can starve.

I think my response says it all. Please let me know what YOU think about it. I post on the Houston Chronicle boards as "texasquestion."

The DEATH of Analog Television

2009-06-11T05:23:00.004-05:00

Today is the last day for free antenna viewing television. I still have a few TVs in my home that receive signals from an antenna.

One is my RCA battery powered handheld TV (which I use while travelling and during power outages). The other is in our master bathroom, so we can listen to the news, weather, etc. while getting ready for work.

In addition, I have two more battery powered portable TVs which we bought over the years.

As of 6:45 CDT tomorrow, they will all be obsolete. I will eventually go out and buy a small handheld digital TV, but that will come at a later time

However, we am now in possession of four units of which we cannot use.

America is a country of thinkers. We have overcome adversity and found solutions for problems for generations.

I would like to see is an in depth, very detailed article, based on extensive research on what to do with old analog, handheld, pocket televisions. I hate to see things sit around and gather dust when there has to be uses for said items.

Other than becoming a paperweight or a doorstop, are there any ideas of how they can be adapted or used? There has to be some old time tinkerers out there that have some ideas.

Jacqueline Bisset in "The Deep" (Repost)

2009-06-09T05:08:00.002-05:00

"The Deep" was on again last night. I had to delete my previous post on the movie due to some glitches with my post.

As I stated in that post, Jacqueline Bisset was an absolute beauty when she was in the movie. There are two shots from the movie that made a great number of men rush out to get certified to scuba dive.

To the right is one of those photos. I will post the other later.

"After filming The Deep, all they talked about was my tits for the next four years. God, if I was going to do a picture like that, I'd have done it a lot sexier. That looked like two fried eggs on a platter." - Jacqueline Bisset
