Has 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Lost All Sense of Reality?

who needs stinking oil? oh, right, we do . . .

It so reassuring to know that we have a President who lives in Never-Never Land, where there is income equality and those darn polluters, also know as job creators, have been replaced by Obama's chosen ones who have turned all us over to wind and solar power.

So let me throw a bit of cold water in our collective faces.

Almost all vehicles are powered by some form of petroleum product. In addition, there isn't one living American that doesn't use products each and every day that are petroleum based. And the last time I looked, Air Force One is powered by jet fuel and not wind or solar power. Oh and those ski slopes in Aspen that Mrs. Obama has been skiing down, are maintained by equipment using fossil fuels.

The President recently decided that we don't need the Keystone pipeline. Gosh, we don't want to offend our good Arab friends in the Middle East by reducing our oil dependency and letting them deal with that mess called Iran because we aren't protecting your backside anymore.

And it's so very nice that the President throws billions of our taxpayer dollars down a rat hole on solar and wind energy companies which have business plans that would not pass the muster of any business school in the country, well, maybe Cal-Berkeley but one must remember that they have students living in trees (!) protesting tuition.

So let me leave you with this graph on the price of gasoline.

As you can see, the price of gasoline has doubled since Obama entered 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Boy this Hope and Change is really working out well, isn't is????

Happy President's Day

A friendly reminder to today's political leaders that we are One Nation Under God.

And who better to provide that refresher course, than some of our most popular and successful Presidents:

Ok, Now this is Cool

It's amazing how little we really know about the world around us. This is in no way a criticism, rather, the shear size and magnitude of the land mass make it virtually impossible to experience it all.

So, I always find it interesting when there are articles that show us some of the amazing and little known spots around the world.

In the on-line Daily Mail, the London-based newspaper has an article on a temple located on a volcano. It's really a interesting read and you can do so by clicking here.

It's called the Taung Kalat Temple:

 

 

Easter

The joyful news that He is risen does not change the contemporary world.

Still before us lie work, discipline, sacrifice.

But the fact of Easter gives us the spiritual power to do the work,

accept the discipline,

and make the sacrifice.

I Wish I Had Thought Of This

For those of us Baptists, this brings back memories. A life long friend of mine, Julie, will find the humor in this video which will remind us of those days so long ago when we went through the classes and Rev. Falk baptisted us in the exact type setting in our church:
