I got the census form today in the mail. It says on the outside "U.S. Census Form Enclosed. YOUR RESPONSE IS REQUIRED BY LAW." It took only minutes to fill out. They asked for the names of the people living here. They asked for their age, date of birth, sex and race. That was it. I know some people are going fucking crazy over this form but it just shows that we have a lot of nutty people here.
A paper that comes with the form says; "This is our official 2010 Census form. We need your help to count everyone in the United States by providing basic information about all the people living in this house or apartment. PLEASE COMPLETE AND MAIL BACK THE ENCLOSED CENSUS FROM TODAY.
Your answers are important. Census results are used to decide the number of representative each state has in the U.S. Congress. The amount of government money your neighborhood receives depends on these answers. the money is used for services for children and the elderly, roads, and many other local needs.
Your answers are confidential. This means the Census Bureau cannot give out information that identifies you or your household. Your answers will only be used for statistical purposes, and no other purpose.Federal law protects your privacy and keeps your answers confidential (Title 13, United States Code, Section 9 and 214). The answers you give on the census form cannot be obtained by law enforcement or tax collection agencies. Your answers cannot be used in court. They cannot be obtained with a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
As allowed by law, census data becomes public after 72 years (Title 44, United States code, Section 2108). This information can be used for family and other types of historical research."
I hope good Americans are going to follow the laws of the United States. My feeling is that the people that may object to following the laws are the ones that wrap them self in the American flag and ware a flag pin and scream and yell about how much they love the founding fathers and how they want this nation to only follow the Constitution of the United States.
The Constitution of the United States demands that a census be done each ten years. It has been done each ten years this this nation was founded by the founding fathers.
I guess we will see who the good Americans are in 2010.
Great story about Social Security at Yahoo! News (AP Story). The story is by Stephen Ohlemacher and he writes in a very clear and simple matter.
"PARKERSBURG, W.Va. – The retirement nest egg of an entire generation is stashed away in this small town along the Ohio River: $2.5 trillion in IOUs from the federal government, payable to the Social Security Administration.
It's time to start cashing them in…"
The following story is from Ameriablog.
"Science, media, government - their goal, for whatever reason, is to undermine. It's what they're doing to congress and the presidency, it's what they've been doing to the courts for years (arguing that courts are no longer impartial arbiters), and now it's what they're doing to the Supreme Court. It's no coincidence that at the same time Clarence Thomas' wife is taking corporation donations to influence elections and policy, Justice Roberts is picking a partisan fight with the White House, and Justice Alito had the temerity to speak out against the President at the State of the Union.
For whatever reason, Republicans believe in destroying institutions of authority in our country. It's a scary thought, and it's working.In January, Virginia Thomas created Liberty Central Inc., a nonprofit lobbying group whose website will organize activism around a set of conservative "core principles," she said.
The group plans to issue score cards for Congress members and be involved in the November election, although Thomas would not specify how. She said it would accept donations from various sources -- including corporations -- as allowed under campaign finance rules recently loosened by the Supreme Court.Must be nice to have your husband help give a kick start to your new financial venture."
This is bad. I worry about our system of government. There seems to be no end to how bad things can get. There seems to be no end to how far Republicans will go and they seem to have no understanding of our nation and no love of our nation.
I have never seen a wife of a member of the Supreme Court. I never know which ones are married and if they have children. Members of the Supreme Court in the past have not got into stuff like this.. It just is not done. How can Clarence Thomas now hear cases? How can rule on some of the things that may come before the court?
How can we be sure when he makes a decision now that it is what he believes is the court matter of law?
This is not good for the court and not good for the nation.
So now what is the next step? What will the next wife or husband of a member of the court decide to do?
I wonder if there will be any right wing talk show host or right wing media person that will comment on this being a bad idea for our nation and the court?
"TMZ has learned the four pill bottles found in the apartment where Corey Haim collapsed yesterday included the generic versions of Vicodin and Valium ... and the same doctor prescribed all 4 powerful meds just days before Haim died.Law enforcement sources tell us the pill bottles retrieved in the apartment of Haim's mother are hydrocodone (Vicodin), diazepam (Valium), haloperidol (an antipsychotic med) and Soma (a muscle relaxer). We're told all four meds were prescribed by a prominent Los Angeles psychiatrist. Sources say all four meds were prescribed the same day -- several days before Haim died.The L.A. County Coroner's Office would not comment on the specific meds found, nor would officials say how many pills -- if any -- were missing from the bottles.Law enforcement sources tell TMZ they believe Haim died from an accidental overdose of meds, though nothing is final until the Coroner's toxicology reports are in.There have been reports Haim admitted in the past to taking as many as 85 Valium pills a day. Haim collapsed in his mother's apartment early yesterday and was pronounced dead 2 1/2 hours later..."

OK I am not a doctor. I am not a nurse. I have no medical training but I hope they nail this "prominent" psychiatrist. Why is he "prominent?" Because he hands out drugs like candy. Come on my God...he prescribed all on the same day!
OK I could see.. You have a patient and you see him in January and you write a Rx for say drug A and you make it re-fillable 6 times. Then you see the patient the next month and he says medication A is not working so you write an Rx for drug B for 6 months. You see the patient 2 month later and he tells you drug B is causing a rash. So you say OK well here is Rx for drug C and you write it for 3 months time. You are staring to wonder right. You get the idea. The patient is taking all of the shit and trying to get more.
Plus I bet these patients are coming in and saying write me an Rx for the following and they give you a list. It is not the doctor saying well from what you tell me I think you should take this one medication.
We need to crack down on these doctors. We need to make sure they are no longer doctors. The word will get around fast to other doctors. We need to put them in jail if they broke any laws.
Also the DEA is NOT doing their job. I have seen a lot of DEA agents. I have seen them getting swat training, firearms training and military training. They do not need to be kicking in doors in Waco Texas. They need to be visiting doctor's offices, CVS drug stores and any place that medications are being sold or given out.
You have heard me on this subject in the past. I fucking hate it that doctors hand out drugs to people with money or movie stars or "VIPs." Hell I want some of the"good" stuff. SMILE
You may remember that just a very short time after the State of the Union address I commented about the actions of the Chief Justice at the address. I gave him a pass and said no big deal.
I also, at the time, said that it was sort of stupid to have the court there in the front row but that they could not show any feelings. They should not smile or clap or do anything.
I it might be a good idea for them from now on just watch it on TV and not attend. I said they should not say it was for some reason or place any blame or anything.
Now the Chief Justice, John Roberts, labeled the political atmosphere at the State of the Union address "very troubling." Wow that is such a break with history and tradition that I can not believe that he would say such a thing and on top of that he says it leaves him questioning whether the justices should continue to attend.
Justices just do not make statements like that.. They have a tradition and a history of being very careful what they say and for him to do such a break with tradition is just wrong.
See CNN story
Justices are turning over in their graves right now.
I have just given up on any Republican and on the Republican party. I can only hope and pray that some new party comes along to replace them.
Here are the remarks I made here on January 29th about the State of the Union address.
I have said that if it was in the 18 hundreds that I would vote for Ron Paul (R-Texas) for president. The United States Congress voted to encourage everyone to take part in the 2010 census.
The census is one of the few things in the Constitution of the United States. Ron Paul's whole platform is that he is just for the Constitution and nothing else. His stand is that if the founding fathers did not call for it and vote for it then he is not for it.
What I would love is for the people of Texas to not answer the census questions. I would love for them to not be counted.
I would love it if they lost all of their house seats or half of them or just a few of them. That would be so fucking funny. It would be great if there was no 14th Texas District. No seat for Ron Paul.
Ron Paul is sort of a joke but next to the rest of the people in the Republican party he seems normal.
I think it is sort of anti-American or un-American to not be for the census.
If we can not count the people and get a little bit of an idea about them how can the nation operate. How do we know if a post office is needed in an area? How do we know if we need to build or expand a VA hospital? The list just goes on and on…
Ron Paul wants to count people period.
Even business and corporations all use the census information. They want to know how many people and what ages and what income to decided if they would build an office, build a store or open a fast food store.
Now if you or I say they don't need information.. Well what the hell do we know about government… But for a United States Congressman to not want data … Well it just make Ron Paul look like a fool.
I been saying for a long time that Glenn Beck is a total mental case. I fear he is going to hurt himself or others. He needs to see a doctor and he needs to be medicated. They need to make sure he takes his medication.
Now he is very popular with many TV viewers. His show, I find it hard to believe, is very popular. It gets great ratings.
I do not have cable TV and so I do not get Fox "news" or his TV show. From what I have heard he does not have any real advertisers!
Now I have seen this before… I commented on this blog many many years ago about it. Except it was about Rush Limbaugh. Yes, Rush Limbaugh used to be on television. I had a couple of friends that watched his TV show and loved him. They were telling me…begging me to watch Rush Limbaugh. I would say sometimes OK I will watch him until he says something stupid. I would sit about one minute and he would say something stupid and wrong and I would walk away from the TV set.
I told my friends he is not going to be on TV very long. They will take him off the air. They would say you are crazy his show is very popular. Then his TV show was moved to like midnight or one AM. I told them he is going off the air. They said no he is so popular and I told them look he has no advertisers. They would say he has advertisers and they would mention some company I never heard of. I would tell them that.. No he has no real advertisers and he will go off the TV. Well it was not long after that he was taken off of TV.
Do not feel sorry for him he was on the radio and has made millions from radio.
Left wing liberal college scientists lie again. They lie about everything. You can not believe any person with an education. No this lie is not about the so called "global warming."
This lie is in a CNN story called "Scientists reaffirm theory that giant asteroid killed dinosaurs."
"(CNN) -- A team of scientists has agreed that a giant asteroid killed off dinosaurs and a majority of other species on Earth more than 65 million years ago.
The researchers analyzed evidence and agreed it supports a single-impact theory first proposed 30 years ago on the cause of the mass extinction.
Since 1980, scientists have gathered an overwhelming amount of evidence that shows a single asteroid about 6 miles in diameter and traveling at 45,000 miles a second, slammed into the Gulf of Mexico, said Richard Norris, a paleoceanographer at the University of California San Diego.
The impact caused a crater 24 miles deep and 125 miles wide, according to Norris, who was part of the research team…"
If you believe in Jesus Christ our lord and savior and if you believe in his holy word as written in our blessed bible and if you have been home schooled then you know that they are wrong because the earth is only 6,000 years old and so an asteroid could not have hit here 65 million years ago.
In fact using the Scripture we know for a fact that the earth is only 6,000 years old. God created the earth in about 4000 BC.
These lies are why the people of the book need to take over local boards of education and why they need to make the United States the Christian nation it was founded to be.
Great news, if it is true, Adam Gadahn the American spokesman for al Qaeda has been arrested in Pakistan.
See CNN story
We have stupid right wing Republicans toss around the word "treason" about Democrats, liberals and anyone they do not agree with … But here with this guy we have a real true case of treason in time of war.
I do not believe in the death penalty but in this case I think hanging is what is called for and if they need someone to pull the rope I am willing.
In 2008, he renounced his U.S. citizenship and destroyed his passport but I still think he is an American citizen and I think treason would fit his crimes. And he should be tried in our normal justice court system.
Now something.. I wonder about with guys like this.. How many of these guys are in fact CIA agents?
If he is not a agent of the United States and is in fact a low life scum that would sell out his nation.. Then I want to see him get an American day in court with all the rights .. and then when found guilty I want to see him spend the rest of his life in jail or see him hanging from a rope.
"Adam Yahiye Gadahn (Arabic: آدم يحيى غدن, Ādam Yaḥyā Ghadan; born Adam Pearlman, September 1, 1978) is an American-born, senior operative, cultural interpreter, spokesman [2] and media advisor[3] for the terrorist group Al-Qaeda. Since 2004, he appeared in a number of videos produced by Al-Qaeda as "Azzam the American" ('Azzām al-Amrīki, عزام الأمريكي, sometimes transcribed as Ezzam Al-Amerikee). He is believed to have inspired bin Laden's September 2007 video.[3]
In 2004, he was added to the FBI Seeking Information - War on Terrorism list.[4] On October 11, 2006 he was removed from that list, and placed on the Bureau of Diplomatic Security Rewards for Justice Program list of wanted criminals.[5] On the same day, Gadahn was indicted based on the testimony of the FBI case agent E.J. Hilbert II, in the Southern Division of the United States District Court for the Central District of California by a federal grand jury for the capital crime of treason for aiding an enemy of the United States (i.e. Al-Qaeda). Gadahn is the first American charged with treason since Tomoya Kawakita in 1952.[6]. On March 7, 2010, Pakistani intelligence officials announced that they had arrested a person name Adam Gadahn in the city of Karachi…" Wikipedia
Republicans are saying that the President of the United States and the Democrats had better not pass "ObamaCare" (health care). They are saying that American people do not want it. They are also saying that it would be unfair and cheating if the Democrats pass the national health care plan.
Republicans are sort of like the old Communist were… I think they are very much like them… They have their own words for things…It is not a national health care plan it is "ObamaCare." The United States is not a "Democracy." The Republicans say it is a "Republic." It just gets crazy. They can not even talk about issues without using their code words.
The Republicans are saying that the "American will" or desire or something is that the health care bill not be passed.
If Congress passes the health care bill THAT is the will of the American people. The United States does have a (democratic) republic form of government. We elect people to go to Congress and to do what they think is best for our district, are state and our nation. If we do not agree with them and we think they did not do a good job then we do not send them back to Congress.
We do NOT want members of Congress to decide what is best by reading the news Fox "news" poll or the current CNN news poll. We elect them to do what they think is best for the nation.
One of the reasons the Republicans said they hated President Clinton was that they said he read the polls and did what the polls said the American people wanted.
Our founding fathers, the ones the Republican pretend to love so much, were dam sharp men. They knew that there was danger for the United States in mob rule. They feared that at moment the "mob" might want or not want something and they feared that mob rule. They set up our government and wanted good men to be elected and then those good men would decide and not respond to the fools yelling and scream in the street at the moment.
That is how a Republic works.
So the Republicans are just being Republicans.
If the health care bill is passed then it is the will of the American people because or elected officials voted it.
When President Bush was the president… I can remember Fox "news" saying that it was un-American to disagree with the president because he was THE PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES.
If Congress can pass the health care bill it is not cheating. It is the way our system works. When the Republicans had control of Congress they used their power and fucked the Democrats right and left and laughed about it.
There was nothing the Democrats could do. Republicans loved it and laughed about it. Now the shoe is on the other foot and the GOP is screaming and crying like a bunch of sissy girls.
I think those pink panties, that the GOP men have, must be to tight.

You got to see this video. Rep. Anthony Weiner making a speech in congress has his words "taken down." That is he was disciplined for using "inappropriate words in debate." What he said was about the Republicans and 100% true.
I never heard of "Words Taken Down" and did not know such a thing could be done.
There is NO way I could be a member of the House. Everything I said about the Republicans would be "inappropriate words."
When the Republicans call President Obama a Communist are their "Words Taken Down?" When the Republicans say that there are going to be death panels to kill older Americans are their "Words Taken Down?"
What this video Please.
Rep. Anthony Weiner is my hero now.
"Anthony David Weiner (pronounced /ˈwiːnər/; born September 4, 1964) is a Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives, representing New York's 9th congressional districtsince 1999. The district includes parts of southern Brooklyn and south central Queens.

"Washington (CNN) -- Former Vice President Dick Cheney suffered a mild heart attack Monday when he complained of chest pains and was hospitalized, his office said Tuesday.
"Lab testing revealed evidence of a mild heart attack," the statement said. "He underwent a stress test and a heart catheterization. He is feeling good and is expected to be discharged in the next day or two."
During the catheterization, which took place at George Washington University Hospital, doctors examined blood flow to the heart and tested how well the heart was pumping.
In the procedure, a doctor inserts a catheter, a thin plastic tube, into an artery or vein in the arm or leg and threads it into the chambers of the heart or into the coronary arteries. The test can measure blood pressure within the heart and how much oxygen the blood contains.
Two sources said Tuesday that Cheney, 69, was in his hospital room, where he had lunch with family members. He also was working with them editing a chapter of a book he is writing.
He was described as being in good spirits…"
As you know I am NO fan of Dick Cheney. But thank God I am a better person than many right wing Republicans. Many right wing Republicans have been praying for Democrats in congress to die. Even some have been praying for the President of the United States to die.
I wish no harm to fall on Dick Cheney and I have not been praying for him to die.
Now I have not been praying for his good health but that is because I do not pray for things like that anymore. The last time I can remember praying for something like that was when I was in a Catholic high school and prayed all day at school and on the bus heading home. I was praying that my dog, Lady, would be OK. She had been sick and my dad refused to spend money to have a vet check her.
I found her dead in front of the ice box when I got home. I think I decided then that praying for the heath of a dog was not a good idea.
