Today's Quote July 5/09
"Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you"
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Black Gold, Energy and Hot Air
The amount of oil that is available to be pumped out of the ground is still quite large but the cost of pumping it will continue to increase as it's accessability decreases. This is understandable.
Unfortunately there are speculators and traders who want to make billions of dollars.
Oil is fast becoming a rare commodity like gold - but in greater quantities and greater demand.
The manipulation of energy is being driven to control the distribution of wealth.
There is a fundamental law of physics that states that energy can not be created or destroyed but can be changed in form. If we understand this and understand the carbon cycle we can make better energy decisions.
In the greenhouse effect - solar energy (heat) is prevented from being reflected back into space by gases in the earth's surrounding spheres. This is energy that is reflected because it is not being used by plants. If you increase the number of large plants you significantly absorb energy and reduce heat. The other advantage is that it increases oxygen levels which decreases the work done by the human body to maintain itself. This reduces the amount of heat produced by the body and reduces the "wear and tear" on human cells. Poorly maintained human bodies are just as much of the heat equation as bovine flatulence. The energy to transport poorly maintained human bodies is at best 30 percent efficient with 70 percent being given off as heat.
Increasing the number of large plants will also reduce the number and severity of strong wind events. Wind is created by adjacent wet and dry surfaces - ocean and land. Dry corresponds to high pressure and wet to low pressure because water vapor has a lower atomic weight than the atmospheric gases it displaces. Air is a fluid and in a fluid pressure wants to equalize so it flows from high to low pressure. We really can't do much with the ocean surface " low pressure" side but we can reduce the high pressure side by reducing the man made deserts we have created. These deserts include abandoned farm and cleared unproductive hectares. The heat (reflected sunlight) from these areas forces transported moist air rapidly into the cooler upper atmosphere where it condenses and falls as rain. The rain falling causes strong downdrafts adjacent to strong heat generated updrafts which leads to the bending of horizontal turbulence into tornadoes. Replanting
abandoned areas will reduce these events.
Once you have science funded by government - you then have the best science that money can buy. I hope you understand this.

Obama's global warming bill
I can't for the life of me figure out why conservatives are against Obama's bill to tackle global warming.
If we invest in energy efficiency, alternative technologies, and green jobs, and for whatever reason global warming turns out to be much adieu about nothing, we as a nation are left with greater energy independence and whole new industries right here at home. Not a bad outcome. But if climate change deniers are wrong, and we do nothing, we’re left depending on foreign oil, stuck with a growing, potentially catastrophic environmental disaster, and little or no immediate solutions to any of it.
So what's the problem?

THE FOUR IDIOTS
What were those four complete idiots on the school board thinking who voted to give those two teachers a nice raise? How generous they are with OUR money! Don’t they realize our economy is hurting and everyone is being asked to economize, cut back and do with less? What don’t they understand about that? I am glad to see my vote for Hoefer was not wasted, as he showed common sense in voting against the raises. My vote for Decastro was a mistake I am now paying for, and one I will NOT make again! I mean these two “dedicated” teachers they are now rewarding by upping their paychecks to OVER ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR are not worth it. The test scores at that school are abysmal and nobody should be getting any type of raise until that changes. I have school teacher friends who live out of state who are really good at what they do and whose school test scores reflect that. Their small paychecks have nothing to do with their dedication and ability but they are always telling me they can’t believe how much the teachers in Oswego get, and they wish they could find a job where they live that paid as much. Yes, little old Oswego, New York puts many bigger and better school systems to shame by the size of the paychecks handed out to our teachers. How nice we can afford to be so generous.

Fair Treatment
This is to let all the taxpayers know what kind of work they are paying for,and for anyone who has had a Oswego County Court case, or been denied Drug Court by the recommendations of the Oswego County Drug Treatment Court. First is a letter nicely written by Thomas W. Christopher the Assistant D.A.to a court appointed lawyer Joseph Pagano.
See Atttachments D.A.1 and D.A.2
Nicely slandering me and making false statements and goes on to slander Judge Hafners' Court Room calling it a Dog House.
The second letter is written by David Guyer (Oswego County Treatment Court). In this letter he tells me there's no application for Drug Court.
See Attachment David Guyer response
Out of nowhere I find a referral summary from Oswego County Drug Treatment Court written by David Guyer
See attachment Drug Treatment Court Referral
Where he slanders my girlfriend and her business name in my paperwork. When she nor her business had anythig to do with my crime.She wasn't with me when I was arrested. Then he makes false allegations that I am drinking. Falsifying evidence to the courts' and the D.A.s office admitting this when he says there's no proof. Obviously this is why he didn't want me to read this. This is information Joseph Pagano was keeping from me obviously misrepresenting me from the beginning.
I would recommend anyone with a Oswego County Court Case to find out what the Oswego County District Attorneys Office wrote about you behind your back. If you have been denied Drug Court you might want to obtain a copy of your Oswego County Drug Treatment Court Referral Summary to see what false information and misleading evidence was used against you.

THOUGHT TO PONDER:
I really enjoy the way more and more folks are presenting their loved one’s obituaries in the newspapers these days. Before, when all that was printed was a person’s age, relatives, occupation, etc.- - - unless you knew the person, it was frankly, a bit boring and not worth reading. But now, even a stranger’s life can be interesting to read about, what with the personal notes and reflections submitted by their loved ones. Instead of just reading that an 80 year old man has passed, we can now learn that he received a medal for bravery while a soldier in his younger years, spent his spare time making wooden toys for the underprivileged, and whose smile made everyone feel better, or that the 68 year old woman who died was just nuts about her grandchildren and would take them on vacations with her in the summer, and she prided herself about her walnut cake, which won her a blue ribbon one year at the fair. Or, that the child whose death has broken the hearts of his family, loved to tell knock-knock jokes and loved to color and used to always help his younger sister with her homework. I hope this trend continues as it sheds light on the person while they lived among us, and permits us a closer look at their lives. Up until now it was just the big showboats that belonged to every social and civic club within ten miles who got the most ink. Some of them, if truth be told, joined those clubs just so their obituary was a lengthy and impressive one. But, sometimes it is the quiet, unassuming people who rarely get their name in the paper during their lifetime, who have had a better life of quality and meaning, and it is nice to read about them.
RE: Blowing Smoke and ABC
Gee, I'm so glad that you sold houses in California so you must know that California has the mist stringent housing codes in the nation. I have no idea what codes, much less how many, will apply to the rest of us and neither does anyone else. NOBODY READ THE BILL, NOT EVEN WAXMAN WHOSE NAME IS ON IT! There is no way to determine how many hoops you will have to jump through to sell a house in Oswe go once the EPA and the rest of the environazis get to decide what is required and what is not. Besides, it is even possible that once you get finished complying with the edicts of one bureaucrat you may face the edicts of another and have to pump more money into the house you're trying to sell. Remember, we're dealing with fanatics here and they do not give a damn how much money you have to spend. All they care about is meeting their Utopian ideals for every house in the country. Then let's not forget the doubling of fuel costs which will increase the cost of food and everything else you buy. As I said, if you think the housing market is bad in Oswego now just wait until the god Obama signs this "Cap and Tax" bill into law. Our only hope lies in the Senate. Hopefully common sense will prevail there and this bill will never see the light of day again.
With regard to the ABC Obamathon and it's polling practices we already know that ABC and the rest are no longer news agencies. The Obamaton who wrote this post assumes that I am as naive as he is in thinking that ABC actually conducts the polls themselves. In reality they do conduct their own poles at times but often rely on professional polling organizations for the grunt work. However, this Obamaton would have you believe that the polling agency has 100% autonomy in conducting the polls for anyone with whom they contract. This is not the case. ABC determines what the parameters will be and most likely writes most of the questions. If the polling company writes or changes any questions ABC has to agree with them or any proposed changes. They certainly would not leave any of this up to chance and then report on it as they do. Just about every poll is biased in some way and ABC would not attach its name to any poll over which it did not have overwhelming control as to its outcome. The same is true in the poll being discussed here. In fact, the majority of those polled in this case were democrats so it is no surprise that it favored Obamacare.
Again, this Obamaton cannot simply discuss the issue but has to throw in that "Because they always have to have something to hate..." comment. This is just further evidence of the liberal mind at work projectiong it's own hate onto those who disagree with the enchanted, mythical Utopian universe it has created for itself. Anyone who disagrees with that universe must be full of hate becaue the liberal finds it so wonderful and cannot comprehend anyone who might find such a universe objectinable. As I've stated several times before, it is the liberal who is full of hate, rage and disaffection with this country as it was estabblished by the Founding Fathers. Also, Obama is rapidly losing ground as more and more people are finding that they have made an extremely poor choice for President. Buyers remorse is growing so fast that liberals are besides themselves with disbelief.
Yes, Conservatism was down but it was not out. Conservatism is growing far more rapidly than liberals will ever admit especially those in the Obama Media. But growing it is and the mid-term election next year will prove it beyond even their ability to hide it. So, get used to this as it is the liberals who make things up to cover their losses, Conservatives are simply pointing out the facts and those facts are resonating more and more with more and more people.
This weekend's Tea Parties will be much larger than on April 15 and will again be composed of members of all parties not just Republicans and Conservatives as the hateful liberal Obama Media spokespeople would have you believe. Liberals are spending us into oblivian and the people realize that our grandchildren and their grandchildren's grandchildren will be paying for this libaeral debacle. That spending and it's ensuing problems with interest rates and inflation were the concern on April 15 and that will still be the cse for this weekend's Tea Parties. You can also expect to see many people who find Obama's continued grab for more and more power unsettling and who will want to put a stop to it.

What the tea bag parties are all about
Those of you who will be attending Fourth of July tea-bagging parties to protest...I don't know, something...should know who else will be there:
"White supremacists and neo-Nazi hate groups plan to take advantage of the anti-tax “Tea Parties” set to occur in more than 1,000 cities and localities over the July 4 holiday weekend to disseminate racist fliers and other materials and attempt to recruit others to their cause, according to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).
"ADL’s Center on Extremism, which monitors extremist groups and provides information to law enforcement and the public, has released information on its Web site describing the attempt by white supremacists to co-opt the anti-tax message of the events as a means to spread racism and anti-Semitism.
"On Stormfront, the most popular white supremacist Internet forum, members have discussed becoming local organizers of the “Tea Parties” and finding ways to involve themselves in the events. Many racists have voiced their intent to attend these rallies for the purpose of cultivating an “organized grassroots White mass movement,” with some suggesting that they would do so without openly identifying themselves as racists."
So make sure you sign up for the KKK while you're protesting the first black president in American history.

Fox News' ratings
Uh, don't delude yourself. The reason Fox News' ratings are so high is because it's the only place for crazed right-wing nutjobs to get the alternate reality they so crave. The rest of us in the real world have to choose between NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, CNN HN, MSNBC and local Time Warner news to find out what's happening in the world.
Fox News is a good business model, but it has absolutely no effect on the population as a whole. Otherwise, Obama never would have been elected. The people who watch Fox News are the same 30 percent of fringe extremists who loved Bush and hate Obama. The other 70 percent of us -- Mainstream America -- wouldn't turn on Fox News unless we needed a laugh.

Palin resigning as governor
Thank God that joke of a politicial career is over, although it would've been fun to see Obama beat her in all 50 states in 2012.
So who's going to be the Republican presidential nominee in 2012? Romney? Limbaugh? Hey, I think Dole's still alive. Maybe he could run again.
Conservatism is dead. America is a liberal country.

Glenn Beck
Glenn Beck quoting Thomas Paine is utterly absurd. Thomas Paine was a proponent of a national tax to be used towards the creation of an educational system for America's children. I wonder how Mr. Beck would have reacted to such a suggestion had he lived during those times? Beck is picking and choosing quotes and ideas from founding fathers without context and with a complete lack of understanding of the founding fathers' true motivations and convictions.
Beck openly mocks any suggestion of taxation being implemented to further our society by a government out of touch with the ways of business and the marketplace, such as with healthcare for the uninsured, yet is remarkably silent when the very same thing is done in the name of the military industrial complex. The amount of money wasted on defense is shameful but apparently the federal government is perfectly suited to collecting taxes and financing such an endeavor but is ill suited to do so in any other facet of our lives?
Which is it, Glenn? Why don't you stand for the restructuring of our military since our government cannot properly manage such things? Is it because you constantly talk from out of your backside and continually misrepresent the vision of those who came before us? You are way out of your league but for some reason since you are on television you think you are right. You are not. Thomas Paine would be ashamed to be associated with you and your lack of foresight.

RE: Glenn Beck
Glenn Beck is not calling for violence in any form and if you had ever watched or listened to his programs you would know this to be the truth. Beck is calling for a peaceful revolution through the normal channels which are provided for us in our founding documents. I know that liberals cannot understand this concept and believe that any opposition to their god Obama is evil, treasonous, violent and full of hate. For those who were never taught about the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights I will provide a quote from the Declaration of Independence to prove my, and Beck's, point."We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and ursupations, pursuing invariably the same
Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security...." Emphasis addedOur founding documents provided us with the means, through amendments to the Constitution, to correct any wrongs that anyone suffered and we have amended the Constitution only 27 times in 233 years. No revolution, violent or peaceful, was needed to accomplish this. This process has worked well for all this time with the single exception of the Civil War. That war started because of the encroachment of the federal government upon the powers that the Constitution gives the States. That encroachment has continued unabated ever since to the point now where one Barack Obama is amassing dictatorial powers at an astounding rate. He runs the banks, GM, Chrysler, has his eye on other industries, is trying to gain power over all energy, its production and costs, and health care. He has his "czars" running more and more every day and they report to Obama, not the Congress nor the People. I challenge any of you to find in our founding documents where Obama is given such authority! Look as hard as you might, you will not find such authority for Obama nor his minions in the Congress. While Obama isn't a Despot quite yet he is rapidly approaching that unexalted position.Obama is waging a war on prosperity. This is evidenced by his wanting to "redistribute" the wealth, taking for those who earned it and giving it those who earn nothing. Americans are the most generous people in the whole world and will give charitably to anyone in need. But those who sit
around and only take, then complain that they aren't being given enough to satisfy their desired standard of living are not deserving of such charity."To take from one, because it is thought his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, that guarantee to everyone the free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it." Thomas Jefferson"I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it." Benjamin FranklinObama and the Congress are violating the Constitution when they use some means of stealing from one person and giving that stolen property to another. Also, all of the "entitlements" that have been established over the past century have made the poor easy in their poverty. We do them and ourselves an injustice by allowing this to happen. Sure, the easy thing is to keep giving them money, food stamps and the rest while they sit, too comfortably, in their poverty and keep voting for the largess you supply. By doing so you have robbed them of their dignity, ingenuity, self-esteem and drive to provide for themselves. The poor then become slaves to those who give them the fruits of other peoples' labor. It is injustice all around."Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely." We are getting far too close to this situation and must, for everyone's sake, stop moving in that direction. Too much power is being grabbed
by one man and one political party and all will suffer for it, now or in the very near future.Doc Bill

I DON’T HAVE AN ATTITUDE PROBLEM - - YOU HAVE A PERCEPTION PROBLEM!
Mayonnaise jar
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 beers.
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him.
When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.
He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was..
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. he pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.
He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.
Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.'
The professor then produced two Beers from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
'Now,' said the professor as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.
The golf balls are the important things---your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions---and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car. The sand is everything else---the small stuff.
'If you put the sand into the jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life.
If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Spend time with your children. Spend time with your parents. Visit with grandparents. Take time to get medical checkups.
Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.
Take care of the golf balls first---the things that really matter.
Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the Beer represented. The professor smiled and said, 'I'm glad you asked.'
The Beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of Beers with a friend.

To the ignorant posted who thinks Glenn Beck is calling for violence
The quote was taken out of context. Glenn does not call for armed revolution. Here is a quote from his new book, COMPLETE QUOTE I might add.....
In 1776, Thomas Paine's words sparked a revolution. Today, a new revolution of thought begins right now, with you.......
You might find yourself wondering what can be done to change our nation's course. I lay out several options, but I want to be clear, none of them include violence. Thomas Paine and his fellow revolutionaries shed blood so that future generations would have access to weapons immeasurably stronger than muskets or bayonets: the weapons of democracy. Those are the tools that we will use to usher in a second American Revolution, a revolution that won't be fought on battlefields, but in the hearts and minds of the three million people lucky enough to call America home.

Re: Jackson
I agree Michael had many problems. Of course he lied about certain things, he would be opening up and inviting more media if he did not. The more out of the public eye the better. I mean, he has done this, this, that according the media (buying bones, bleaching skin, etc.). Really it is all media make up. I am trying to make a point. You have an opinion as I, or anyone else for that matter. We may never know if he was a molester, but we know he was acquitted. In fact, he was NEVER criminally charged! People are welcome to voice their opinion about any subject, but you take it farther and try to demean someone for their thoughts. There is always someone attacking another because they differ in opinions. The world is a mess because of this mentality. No one can read peoples views and take it for what it is, an opinion. They must attack and try to belittle one's opinions, or thoughts. This is the mentality I'm talking about. Try to grow up, your opinion is
just that, as mine... Just an opinion. One week and the world is still mourning. Neverland Ranch will be filled by millions to see Michael for the last time. Imagine that...Do you think they will be there to say good-bye to Michael, or to celebrate his life as a child molester? Remember, it is your opinion. I won't hunt you down for it.

GRANDMA CURES:
If your pool skimmer is broke, or if you just want a much more inexpensive way to skim your pool, take a wire coat hanger, form it into a circle and straighten out the hook. Now you can attach the hanger to a pole with strong twine. Then, cut off the legs of an old pair of panty hose and stretch the panty portion over the circular wire frame. Effective and inexpensive. Of course you may not want any snooty neighbors to see you using it.
Carbon
Carbon is an essential component of biological organisms on the surface of the earth. If it sequestered underground - either naturally as coal, oil, gas or artificially - it is unavailable for organic production on the surface of the planet.
There are naturally occurring geological events that release some of this carbon from time to time and that is fortunate for us. There are natural disruptions following the more dramatic events as balance is reached.
Burning fossil fuel takes the naturally sequestered carbon and makes it available at the surface for biological organisms.
This in turn sequesters the carbon in plants that produce oxygen. This is productive carbon.
As the plants die and decay and turn into coal, oil, gas, etc. this is unproductive but potential carbon.
The imbalance we are facing is not bringing the carbon to the surface - it is poor flora management. For every unit of carbon brought to the surface there must be a proportionate flora growth and managed fauna.
The carbon cycle is not that difficult. As a society we want only to pay for half of the cycle. This is ignorance generated by a manipulated public education system.
We can either pay for the second half of the cycle directly and employ people to "plant trees" or we can volunteer our time to do it.

DOC BILL'S LATEST SMOKE BLOWING
Gee Doc, I bought and sold houses in California and the few things required
there that aren't here is that gas water heaters have to be strapped down so
they don't tip over during an earthquake and release natural gas. They
require termite inspections but property doesn't have to be surveyed every

Conservatives and ABC
Because they always need something to hate, conservatives have decided to attack ABC for hosting a health care town hall meeting last week with President Obama.
Obviously, these critics never actually saw the special, because it was one hour of Obama facing right-wing questions from insurance industry executives and other conservatives in the audience. And Charlie Gibson and Diane Sawyer (who used to work for Nixon) chimed in with their corporate right-wing biased questions as well. It was a hit job on Obama.
But the biggest BS Doc Bill and others are peddling is that a poll sponsored by ABC would be biased toward Obama. You guys obviously have absolutely no idea what the hell you're talking about. ABC doesn't conduct the poll, they hire an independent pollster to do it. Their name is on it because they paid for the poll and it's good advertising.
It's funny that conservatives are forced to make up stories like that to try and spin away the fact that America hates the Republican Party and conservatism, and loves Obama. Well get used to it. We tried your ideas and they failed. America is a liberal country and we're going to do it our way now.

THOUGHT TO PONDER:
Tell the truth - - no matter what you think of Michael Jackson, don’t you think the media has carried the coverage of his death way too far? I mean it is as though the president has died, or the head of state in a powerful country. Actually, the coverage is more than what it would be for that. Every program seems to feel they have a responsibility to do a story on him and they are all desperate to find a different angle. I predict that after we have been saturated with these stories that showcase him as a cross between Elvis Presley and Mahatma Gandhi, the next wave of stories will be about his pill addiction and his truly bizarre personal life. Enough already. Bury the guy and let’s get on with the more important things going on in this world.
Conservatives want innocent Americans to die

GOP: A party without ideas since 1932
I'm reading a biography of FDR that was written before Barack Obama ran for president. In it is this paragraph:
"During the campaign the Republicans characterized him as a dangerous radical. His 'forgotten man' speech gave rise to charges that he was fomenting class warfare. His call for national planning conjured the specter of socialism. Soon the antipathy would escalate into visceral hatred; much of America's upper crust would hiss at 'that man' in the White House."
Sound familiar? The Republicans just ran the same losing campaign against Obama that they ran in 1932 against FDR. How pathetic.
FDR went on to become one of our greatest presidents. Obama will as well.

Sometime last week Oswego mayor Randy Bateman left town for several days. While he was gone the Oswego Police department was allegedly instructed to check his East Twelfth St. home at least once every shift. The officers were instructed to get out of their vehicles and physically check all of the windows and doors at the house. Wouldn't it be nice if we could get that kind of police presence at the Farmer's Market and other areas of the city.

Cap and Tax
As I said in my previous post the Cap and tax bill passed the House on Friday. This 1,300 page bill plus 350 pages of amendments was not read, and could not be read by any of the members of the House. Again, for those who missed it, I admitted to being a poor reader myself in a previous post so it is evident that I could have never read and understood such a bill in less than a day.
The original bill was not ready until late Thursday and the 350 page amendment wasn't finished until 3:09 am Friday morning. Some members of the House were even denied a copy before being required to vote on it. There is no way even a moderate reader could have read and digested all 1,600+ pages of this bill in that short period of time. This is just further evidence of the Obama slight of hand, telling you that there will be transparency in his administration and then by every means possible obfuscating everything possible.
As I understand it eight RINO's voted for this atrocious attack on our freedom including our own John McHugh. Before this atrocity passes in the Senate you had better make sure you fully understand the effects of at least two of its numerous provisions. First, all homes in the country must meet CALIFORNIA building codes before they are sold. Second, before you will be allowed to even put your house on the market a federal inspector will inspect your house for environmental concerns. In particular they will inspect your doors and windows to be sure that they do not allow any type of air leakage, inspect your furnace to see if it meets the current environmental requirements, inspect your other appliances to see if they meet current requirements, make sure you have those CFL's, mercury laden lamps, in all requires lamps, etc., etc., etc. If your house fails to meet any of the requirements you will have to fix the noted problems at your own expense BEFORE you will even be allowed to offer your house for sale. Previous to this federal legislation any deficiencies in a house disclosed by the seller or found during the inspection by a state licensed inspector were negotiable between the parties. This will no longer be the practice.
I have read about the slow sale of houses in Oswego and Oswego Country for years. I even sold houses during the Carter recession in the late '70's but you ain't seen nothing yet if this legislation passes in the Senate. I know that you enchanted liberals will want to blame this house debacle on Bush and though the Obama Media will accommodate you there will be no one else to blame but the god Obama himself, Oh, and John McHugh. The current housing bust in Oswego and Oswego County will become a housing catastrophe after this bill passes the Senate and is signed by the god Obama.
Now I know that you've not heard one word about this in the Obama Media so if I have peeked your interest on this issue then I again suggest that you turn to the alternative media and away from the Obama Media I referred to in my last post. Or you can continue to follow "Hsha... BWJR" or pay attention to the endless, mindless drivel about Michael Jackson

You would think after all this time folks would realize that by sending jokes and things along to friends on your e-mail list, you are also letting all of the junk mail people know their e-mail address and they will then be subjected to more of that really annoying junk that is sent out. These jokes, missing person reports, health news, etc. etc. is all a sham, designed to get new addresses. People I know who are very intelligent in every other respect still don’t seem to get this. If something comes along that tells you to “pass this along” - -- no matter what it is - --- delete it!! Only use your e-mail system to do just that - - send e-mails only instead of a phone call or a letter. The jokes and cartoons are usually not that funny, the missing child reports are false, the health alerts we have read in the newspapers, and everything else is available on TV, radio or the newspapers. Because people are now finally starting to catch on to this scam, the telemarketers are becoming more devious and will use anything to entice you to pass their things along, like pictures of cute missing children (who aren’t really missing at all) and pets, etc. Please don’t fall for it, and tell your friends, acquaintances, business contacts, fellow club members, etc. to only send personal notes, business reports, club news, and things of that nature to you and not to send anything else! If you do this, eventually you will see those stupid ads and telemarketing things drop off. Honest.

JACKSON THE MOLESTER;
I can’t believe there is someone out there so naïve to think that Michael Jackson is innocent of all the child molestation charges against him. Among so many other things, did you not think it strange that Jackson only befriended little BOYS, and not girls? And, you really believe the only reason he paid HUGE amounts of money to his many accusers was just because he didn’t want to go through the trials? Please, use your head. If they accused YOU or anyone else of such a horrendous thing, I am sure if you were innocent you wouldn’t be paying anyone off to silence them. You would stand by your assertion that you were completely innocent, no matter what it took, until it was proven true. And, why were these youngster’s parents not allowed to be around when that pervert was “playing” with them? They were only allowed to drop off the children, and then had to leave. Why?
And, why didn’t Michael sue the former servants who told how he would take the young boys into his bedroom alone and give them wine, etc.? You would think he would sue them for libel, wouldn’t you? Well he didn’t, because it was all true.
On top of everything else, the man-child was a sociopath. When you watch the interview with the reporter, Martin Bashire, you will note how he tells these obvious lies, but seems to really believe them himself. When Bashire asked if he was indeed the natural father of the two oldest children, Jackson adamantly insisted he was. Bashire pointed out how the children had BLONDE HAIR and BLUE eyes, and yet he still insisted they were from his sperm. And, the youngest child, he insisted, was from a black woman, and yet that child also was very, very fair. Then he insisted, with a straight face, that he had nothing done to his face - - that it was just a case of him changing as he got older. Did you see how they took bags and bags of drugs out of his house? The guy was nuts. Why can’t you see that? Do you yourself have a little “problem” in that area, and that is why you insist on defending him?

You can create an instant outdoor changing room. All you need is a hula hoop and an old shower curtain. Simply attach the curtain to the hoop with its usual rings or hooks, and then suspend the hoop from a high enough tree branch. Because it is so easy to carry, it is great for picnics or the beach. If you don’t have a tree nearby or something to hang it on, just get someone to hold it up for you while you change.

Re: Re: Thought....
You still make no case for Michael being a child molester. You probably think he bought the bones of the elephant man, or that he put himself in an oxygen tank on a daily basis, or he was bleaching his skin to become white. You're small town, wanting to be in the Hollywood scene by believing anything you read or see on the Info. Tube. Talk about naive.
Michael was cleared of ALL charges brought against him. In fact, he was never criminally charged! NO DNA evidence, no one on stand to say what the allegations were. He paid one (family) approx. $20,000,000 to get things over with. He didn't have to, he was having a hard time with his personal health and he had the cash to have it go away. Wouldn't you? If you think he did have sexual intentions, why are there not millions of other families of kids that have been with Michael claiming this? Quincy Jones, Lionel Richie, Mulchuley, his family, and millions of friends around the world feel he would never have molested any child, as he was still a child himself. So, if you think he did it (all based on you watching TV or reading the tabloids), then these people must be warped according to your thought process. He had problems, but they were only with people like you and the "Force," the media. I know we live in OZ , but c'mon. Please get out and breathe fresh
air, don't wither away believing everything you hear. You kinda make me feel bad for you. Oops, I forgot, no one can be just "Nice" in your brainset. You still did not answer the question. Would you have your brother, sister, friend, husband, wife arrested if you saw them napping together on your sofa or bed? And, is it your fault or your parent's for the world being so F***** up? There are a lot of things Michael did that one may perceive as being off the wall. I agree. But, much of this is again, taken out of context (the wine for example, holding the baby over the rail). All stupid things, but we all have done stupid things... Unless you believe in OZ. Thought.....

According to the media reports, Michael Jackson’s parents are asking for permission to raise his three children. These are the same parents who royally screwed up Michael’s life, as well as his brothers and sister. Let’s hope the courts aren’t stupid enough to turn the children over to those idiots. With Michael’s death, these innocents now finally have a chance to experience a somewhat normal childhood. Their natural mother, Deborah Rowe, should be given a chance to take them, I would think. Now they will be able to walk around without those ridiculous veils and hats on when in public. Let’s hope the courts schedule some intense therapy seasons for them because I shudder to think of the sick thoughts and ideas Jackson tried to instill in them.

JACKSON TV INTERVIEW;
I watched a rerun of that famous TV interview Michael Jackson gave to a British interviewer a few years ago last night and believe me, if any of you naïve folks who think he was innocent of those child molestation charges saw it and still thought he was framed, whatever, then I have a few bridges I can sell you. It made my stomach churn and my skin crawl to listen to him. What an out and out pervert. Yes, he was a super talented performer who will never be replaced but his personal life was a mess and he himself was disgusting.

Combating global warming
Friday was a historic day in Congress, as the House passed the first-ever bill to curb greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming. The 219-212 vote was a hard-fought victory, overcoming aggressive lobbying by business groups and misinformation by right-wing pundits.
“After more than three decades of being held hostage to the influence of foreign energy suppliers, this legislation at long last begins to break our addiction to imported foreign oil and put us on a path to true energy security,” said Congressman Henry Waxman. Congressman Ed Markey added that the legislation will “create jobs by the millions, save money by the billions and unleash investment in clean energy by the trillions.”
The bill now moves to the Senate, where the fight for passage will be even tougher. President Obama called on senators to not “be prisoners of the past. Don't believe the misinformation out there that suggests there is somehow a contradiction between investing in clean energy and economic growth. It's just not true.”
The legislation would establish binding greenhouse gas pollution limits, set the first national renewable electricity and efficiency standards for utilities, and improve efficiency standards for buildings and appliances -- creating 1.7 million new jobs and spurring $150 billion in investments.
Despite the fear-mongering by conservatives on the bill, regulating greenhouse gas emissions is widely supported by the American public. A recent Washington Post-ABC News poll found that three-quarters -- including majority support from Democrats, Republicans and independents -- support such regulation. Obama has also received high ratings for his handling of the issue, with global warming his second strongest area after international affairs.
Like any good idea, conservatives are fighting against this legislation. Interest groups have poured millions of dollars into lobbying against this bill. As Obama told reporters this past weekend, the bill’s foes have been seeking to “get political gain by scaring the bejesus out of people.”
Let’s hope for our planet’s sake, our economy’s sake and our children’s sake, conservatives fail to kill this legislation.

THE DRAGNET MOONWALK REPORT
The story you are about to hear may be true. The name's haven't been changed to protect anyone. The city, OZ, N.Y. My name's Friday. I carry a badge.
It was a Saturday, 9:14 am as the near record heat wave continued to have an effect on peoples sanity and thinking. I was working the day-watch near Terrill's Appliance store out of Traffic Division simply waiting for the light to turn red when some clown plowed into into my cruiser, nearly causing me to go into cardiac arrest. My partner was Officer Gannon and the Boss was Captain Jackson.
"I just don't understand how some people can be so stupid Joe. Do you think it may be something in the water Joe?"
"Well Bill, some people have a "Farrah Faucet" in their homes, right next to the hot and cold. Maybe he was drinking some of that water."
"I remember when she used to be one of Charlie's Angels Joe, before she got replaced by Cherl Ladd. My favorite angel was Jacklyn Smith."
"Mine was Kate Jackson, Bill. I used to watch that show all the time for some lighthearted fun, to help me relax and soothe my uptight, puritanical soul. Sometimes I watched The Jackson 5 on T.V. too. I must have had a "Jackson obsession" at one time."
"That's too bad about Micheal Jackson Joe, now that you mention it. What an amazing performer he was with all those dance moves like the Moonwalk. I don't think even Elvis could shine his shoes."
"Well Bill, they both had carisathma and stage ability far beyond most mortal souls. Maybe that's why they were both Mega-Super Stars in their day. It's hard to compare the two though because I don't think Micheal Jackson could sing "Love me Tender", and I can't imagine Elvis singing "Ben".
"You're right Joe, but what about those allegations having to do with the little kids at Neverland?"
"Well Bill, personally I don't believe any of it. If he was around kids that much, there would have been many more reported incidents, just like this one I'm about to write up for the traffic accident. I'm around cars all day, but I've never had one drive into my patrol car, at least until now."
"Well Joe, there's a lot of strange people out there as I'm sure you well know."
"I know Bill. And Micheal Jackson was sure one of them, but I don't think he was a child molester. After all, he was deprived of his childhood, and he had everything else except for that, including a white glove. Money and fame couldn't give that back to him, but being around kids was the closest he would ever get to understanding what it was like to be one. It makes sense to me, from a psychological perspective anyhow. Maybe that's why he invented the Moonwalk, so that he could go backwards while still moving forward."
"I heard he didn't invent that Joe, and that a choreographer showed him all his moves."
"Well Bill, that was the case with John Travolta, but if someone else showed Micheal Jackson the moonwalk, I'll bet you can't tell me who it was. Besides, that made history, and if someone else invented it, they would certainly want to take credit for it. Name me someone who can do that better than Micheal Jackson....just one name will do."
"You may have a point Joe".
"And one more thing Bill".
"What's that Joe?"
"If you think being a black kid from Gary, Indiana is getting all the breaks in life, you are sadly mistaken. The only person who didn't get any brakes was the clown who drove into our patrol car!"
Friday and Gannon then do their usual head nod, as they proceed to "Beat it" to McDonald's before they stop serving breakfast.

Dear Editor,
Please consider this for posting. Thank you
Never before in the history of customer relations have I experienced such lack luster service, obfuscation and deception. Deception in so far as your Call Center employees at the "National Call Center" give false, English sounding names so the very basis of the relationship is predicated on a lie.
Obfuscation in that your employees have no idea what technical problems or solutions are possible since their "trained" to tell the customer how they -end user - can fix their own computer problem. I pay $135.oo per month so that I can waste literally tens of hours each month waiting on hold to hear one of your employees in the Philippines tell me how to fix the computer when the problem lies with the ISP not the machine itself. This would be akin to making a $135.oo dollar a month car payment and then have a functionality problem once a week but when I take it to the garage for repairs the mechanic talks me through the repair process without ever picking up a tool and still expects me to pay the same amount the next month. Lack luster doesn't begin to describe the hilariously slow service "road runover" attempts to provide.Please take the time to file out the survey at TWcny and politely tell them how poor their so called customer service is for the money. It's the company not the employees and so the company must change its policy or you can do what I'm going to do and drop them as my ISP.If enough people do this things will change. Stop complaining to yourself and do something to foster change.

MICHAEL JACKSON’S LEGACY:
There will always be those naïve people who will not accept anything critical about their hero, Michael. But, for most rational, intelligent adults, the guy was a real weirdo and creep. He has admitted to putting wine in empty coke cans and calling it Jesus Juice, or some other wacky thing, and giving it to the young boys he kept in his bedroom. He presented himself as half white, half man, half woman, half sane, half insane. He bought himself out of every sexual charge against him with obscene amounts of money. So much money that for many families it was impossible to turn down and they rationalized with that type of money they would be set for life and their child could receive the best psychiatric counseling around. Whereas, if they hung on, and stuck out a long, messy trial, up against Jackson and his millionaire lawyers and some of the best legal teams in the world, even if they won, they would end up with nothing, sooooooo - - -- Jackson got away with everything. I hate to burst that bubble of innocence you live in, but people like him have gotten away with despicable crimes for centuries, by spending huge amounts of money, But, you go right on believing that pervert is innocent of all those charges leveled against him over the years, but for me, I hope he rots in hell.

No matter how many times I sign up to be on those lists that are supposed to prevent telemarketers from calling, I still receive tons of them. It is so annoying. And, I have no idea how these people stay in business. I mean have you EVER known ANYONE who has EVER ordered anything from a telemarketer? I would wager not, and yet they still hire and train people to call folks at home, trying to peddle their wares. Some of them have trouble speaking English! And, when you try to politely tell them no thanks, they become even more aggressive. Now, I don’t even try to be nice about it, I just hang up in their ear. I have a friend who keeps a whistle next to his phone, for just those types of calls. The minute they start their spiel, he just keeps on blowing the whistle in their ear until they hang up. I know another person who says, “Sure, I would love to buy your product, hang on a second until I get my credit card”, and then he just puts the phone down and leaves it there for like an hour or more or however more it takes for them to realize they have been had. Desperate times call for desperate measures!
And, for the poster who thinks Michael Jackson has been judged unfairly and is innocent of all the allegations against him for his questionable actions around young boys over the years, I wonder if he would have had a problem leaving his young son or younger brother alone with that man-child? If not, then I am sorry but would have to also wonder about him as well!

Code Enforcement
Traveling around the city of Oswego makes me wonder why Mr. Smith can’t get out of his office and address the things I see. I am not trained in zoning or code enforcement, but I know when things are wrong, and there is a lot wrong in the city of Oswego . Maybe the mayor, council and Mr. Smith should start taking walks around Oswego again! Here are some of the things I have seen over the past few trips out and about:
· In front of the Ritz diner there is an old junk car with some stupid stuffed animal in the front seat. It is not licensed or registered and I think that any vehicle not licensed or registered is considered junk and must be removed from the property. I know of cars owners that have been sited for this regulation and forced to have the cars towed to the junk yard or registered.
· There must be 50 lawns that are not mowed, and the ones on Bridge Street , the entrance to our city, should have been sited and the city should mow them and charged the cost of mowing and a substantial fine to the slum lords that don’t take care of their property.
· The corner of W 5th and Bridge is a disgrace. Tattoo should be fined and that eye sore of a building should be taken down by the city and the cost of razing it should be charged to Tattoo.
· There is a house just off Erie Street on W 7th Street that is a disgrace. The lawn is not mowed and there is junk strewn all over the yard and it looks like a bunch of porch dwellers live there.
These are just a few examples of how Mr. Smith has forgotten what he was hired for. I think it is time the Mayor grabbed old Neal by the nape of the neck and inspect the city to show him how he has allowed the city to look like a dump. Then you also have to remember that Mr. Smith is not a resident of Oswego and lives in B’ville, so he could care less what our city looks like. Oh yea, I also forgot he is in the pocket of the local slumlords, so don’t expect to see the city ever improved while he is still employed by Oswego . It might be time to bring him up on charges for not doing his job and for being on the take with his friends where he keeps ignoring all kinds of violations. The only way this city will ever get cleaned up is to get rid of Smith, get a council with some balls and a mayor that is more concerned about our city instead of the money he is making as mayor.

RE: Hsha... BWJR
I find it interesting that you see all of this as hilarious. I hope you don't hurt yourself with gut wrenching laughs because the laugh is really on you and everyone else who fell for Obama lies. Whether you like it or not, Fox News holds the top six out of ten news shows on TV. Therefore, you're disdain for Fox News shows that you are far out of the mainstream of America. The All Barack Company, CBS, NBC, CNN, CNBC, MSNBC, the NYT and the rest of the old print media along with the periodicals lost any relevance they had to "News organizations" with last year's election. Even the Washington Post admitted that it had dropped the ball and had not vetted Obama as it had always done with presidential candidates. Unfortunately they admitted their gross mishandling of the entire electoral process the day after the elections. All of these organizations were so enamored of the Obama that fell prey to the enchantment of which I have already spoken.So, now that the House has voted for the most massive tax increase in the nation's history we can only hope that the Senate will do it's due diligence and scrap this useless bill. Nothing in the House's "Cap and Tax" bill will do anything to change the climate one ten thousandth of one degree. Nothing we do here in the US will do anything with China, India and other countries doing whatever they damn well please and we will lose nearly 3 million jobs on top of the astronomical increases we'll see in everything we buy from food to fuel. Those jobs will go overseas to countries with no such restrictions on the use of "fossil" fuels. Maybe one of those jobs will be yours!You won't be laughing very loud when
you're freezing your gonads off next winter because you cannot afford to heat your house, just remember that your frigid condition is brought to you by Obama and your local environazis. Remember, Obama himself said that electrical rate will necessarily SKYROCKET s a result of his bill. Do you have electric heat in your Oswego house? Imagine that bill doubled, at the minimum. Oil or gas heat? They will go up at least 50% too. Tranportation costs for the food you need to bring in during the winter, in particular, will also go up by similar amounts, depending upon how far it has to travel. And travel they will since the environazis got the water turned off to California's Central Valley farms to save some minow. At least 80,000 farm workers will be without jobs and the most fertile farm land in the country, which gets several crops every year, will go fallow and produce nothing causing food to be imported from South America and other places.I again suggest that you join the majority and watch Fox News and get the facts, then read what is being said on the web news sites and check out the numerous blogs that give you the non liberal side of events. In the end I know that you will not do this because you have consumed too much of the liberal poison already, in whatever form it was given to you. But, I again provide this advice in the hope that some out there reading this will begin to see the truth no longer can be found on all those other networks or in those other media.Doc Bill

Doc.....Doc....Doc.....goose! Doc Bill your it! Your the lucky winner of the worst post ever!!! Yeah!! You had the audacity to tell us to watch FOX news for facts??? Any somewhat relevant point you might have ever had just went out the door. Enough with the old, played out kool aide jokes....really, get some original material. You sourced an "entertainment" company as a reliable news source!!! You really are a irrelevant wind bag!! Oh and by the way you can call me a Lib, whiney Dem, kool aide drinker.. Whatever you want BUT it will never mean anything coming from someone who sources FOX news for "facts". Way to make yourself completley insignificant!! Hshahahaha

GRANDMA CURES:
If the ribbing on your sweater waistlines and cuffs get stretched out of shape, you can often bring them back in line by dipping the ribbing, but NOT the rest of the sweater, in very HOT water. That should shrink the ribbing back to normal.

MICHAEL JACKSON
Yep, the same folks who not too long ago bemoaned the fact that slimy, weird Jackson was even allowed on a stage in this country, after his sexual practices came to light, now are singing his praises and putting him up on a pedestal to be admired. Barf. I guess if you can perform on a stage well anything is accepted about your personal life. I keep waiting for some brave soul to come forward and say out loud what most of America is thinking - --- Good thing he died before he was allowed to ruin one more youngster’s life.

POSSIBLE CANDIDATE HORAN:
Really enjoyed the letter in the paper from that Richard Horan, who was approached to run for alderman in the 3rd ward by the mayor, and then after much thought, decided to indeed throw his hat in the ring and run. But, being Oswego, where there is obviously LSD in the water, he was then contacted by some flunky in the Democrat Party who told him he couldn’t run, because they had someone else lined up and the mayor doesn’t know what he is talking about anyhow. Say what??? Just from reading Mr. Horan’s letter alone, you can tell the guy has some smarts and sensitivity and might just be a wonderful alderman, for a change in this city. Then again, when you have folks like Miles Becker lined up to run, why would you want anyone with any class or smarts to run as well? Someday they are going to film a documentary about this screwed up city as an example of dirty politics and people won’t believe it.
A note to Mr. Horan; please don’t give up, and for our sakes, please consider obtaining Democrat petitions and file them with the Board of Elections. Once filed, it will then require a Democrat Primary to be held, and the winner of that primary will then be declared the official Democrat candidate. Do not despair. We need folks like you, now more than ever. Our city is drowning and needs some sensible citizens to help keep it afloat.

Re: Thought ...
I'm guessing that you don't believe in innocent until proven guilty. Michael Jackson was cleared of all charges in a court of law. You probably think OJ is innocent? Michael was misunderstood by many. Listen and watch his video "Childhood." According to him it was his most personal song. If you know anything about his childhood, you may begin to understand Michael as a human being. He was compassionate, loving and wanted to fullfill his life with the feelings of what he was not able to have. People are greedy and that is why there were charges brought against him, but again... Proven innocent. He made a statement that hurt him, when he said he enjoyed "sleeping" with children. Meaning, a child needs to be comforted and held. What if you walked in and saw your adult sister or brother napping on the couch with their arm around your young child. Would you bring them up on charges. Same difference as Michael's situation. Much was taken out of context and
again...People are greedy! Michael's death did overshadow the death of Farrah, and that is sad, but not Michael's fault. It is up to each person how they celebrate or grieve for someone who has died. Let those grieve the way they wish. Don't blame and don't pass judgement! So let me ask you...Would you have your brother, sister, best friend, or babysitter arrested? I know the world is cruel, but there are people out there that do truly care and love others, without any sexual intent. But, in our world we have become a society with many problems. Who would you blame, your parents or yourself?
A fan, and someone who cares.
