Lost In Translation: Gingrich Aghast That Romney Speaks French
by Pat_S on January 13, 2012Well why didn’t Gingrich tell us this about Romney in Iowa and it would all be over. The man speaks French! The same language John Kerry can speak. Unlike some other charges Newt has made against Romney, this one is true. Here’s the latest Gingrich web ad ending with the shocking revelation. Gingrich has taken control of the narrative but a lot of people find it incomprehensible.

What? Those Naked Women Were Prostitutes?
by Pat_S on January 12, 2012Awww, poor innocent naif. How could Dominique Strauss-Kahn possibly know those naked women at a party were prostitutes? Naked women all look alike. Lawyer: Strauss-Kahn did not know women were whores A lawyer for Dominique Strauss-Kahn says the former International Monetary Fund chief did not know he was having sex with French and Belgian prostitutes. “At these parties, people were not necessarily dressed, and I defy you to tell the difference between a naked prostitute and any other naked woman,” he said. …his name has surfaced in an investigation into a prostitution operation that was allegedly based at the Carlton Hotel in Lille in northern France. He denies having paid sex — or at least sex he knew had been...

Judge Halts Mississippi Pardons
by Pat_S on January 12, 2012The Mississippi Attorney General asked for and won an injunction against 21 of the 200 outgoing Gov. Barbour pardons. The AG argued some of the pardons failed to meet the state requirement for a public notice when an inmate requests a pardon. Many, including the infamous four murderers, have already been released. No doubt the huge outcry over some of these pardons prompted the AG, Jim Hood, a Democrat, to take action. He likened Gov. Barbour to Boss Hogg saying he acted as though he was above the law. Attorney general: Barbour tried to rule the state like Boss Hogg “He’s tried to rule the state like Boss Hogg and he didn’t think the law applied to him,” Attorney General...

Cow Tales: Where’s The Sacred Beef?
by Pat_S on January 11, 2012Sacred cows have been in politics for a long time. Actual sacred cows have been in India much longer. Now the two concepts have converged in that country. Hindus venerated the cow for centuries. The cow was vital to agriculture in ancient times. Milk and butter (ghee) were dietary essentials as they are to this day. Cow dung was a natural fertilizer as well as a heat source and used as a building material. Cow urine was used as a natural fertilizer. Cow sacrifice is noted in ancient Hindu scripture but somewhere along the way, the Hindus began to impute the cow with divine essence. The culture of a prosperous agriculture and a gentle religion was upset when the British...

Cow Tales: Runaway Finds Refuge In Canada
by Pat_S on January 4, 2012Another runaway cow story with a happy ending. Cow that spent 9 months on run learns to relax at rescue farm A runaway cow that survived months in the wilderness has been rescued and is now lazing around a farm in Summerland. “She is doing magnificently here,” said Deborah Silk of Critteraid, an animal rescue charity that runs the farm. “She spent a lot of time in the wild, so is still a bit feral, but is settling down to life here.” It survived, living off the grass in the bog and the kindness of strangers who fed it hay when winter fell. On Dec. 11, when someone contacted Lifeforce and Hamilton learned of the cow’s plight, he took action....

Ron Paul Trivializes Sexual Harassment
by Pat_S on January 1, 2012In an interview for Bloomberg TV Ron Paul scoffs at federal laws against sexual harassment. He thinks you should quit if your boss is behaving in ways you don’t like. There is a definition of sexual harassment. Conduct must be severe or pervasive in order to be considered sexual harassment. It is conduct that creates an “intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment”. According to Ron Paul you should either laugh it off, submit to it or quit. Let’s not forget this kind of conduct used to be regular sport in the workplace. Hey, men will be men. It’s just human nature. Women were demeaned, disrespected and would suffer economically if they complained. It was almost sure to occur wherever you...

Cow Tales: Bunny Has Twins
by Pat_S on December 28, 2011Rachel and Eddie Hart, owners of the Hart to Hart farm in CT, name their cows based on the holiday nearest to their birth. There’s Pilgrim, Independence and Bunny. Pretty obvious holiday references there. This Christmas Bunny gave birth to Mary and Joseph, twin calves born on Christmas Day. Twins are a rarity in the bovine world. The odds are a thousand to one. Maybe naming a cow Bunny creates identity issues about fecundity. ​Joseph and Mary are the newest Christmas related names on the Hart to Hart farm. There is also Clarice. Clarice? Clarice is Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer’s girlfriend. Rare twin calves born Christmas Day in Plainfield I think Mother’s Day ought to be the most special holiday...

Cow Tales: Mootunes for Christmas
by Pat_S on December 21, 2011DairyCo is a non-profit organization in the UK trying to educate the public in understanding more about the dairy industry. Farmer Andrew Gilman, aware of how technology is a critical part of modern day farming, relies a lot on his cellphone (or mobile as they call it over there). One day he had the idea to use his phone to record his cows mooing. It was challenging because the cows being well cared for by farmer Gilman are usually quietly content. They do get noisy around eating time when they are excited about getting their food. (Me too.) DairyCo thought it would be a great way to promote public awareness of dairy farming by creating some Christmas tunes using farmer...

Cow Tales: Ninja Cow
by Pat_S on December 14, 2011The citizens of Plattsmouth, NE were being startled by sudden appearances of an Angus cow around town. They named the cow Ninja. Her appearances among the townsfolk went on for a couple of months and then she vanished altogether for several days. She was tracked down in the woods by following her hoof prints in the snow. They found Ninja and the reason for her departure from town was discovered nearby, a calf. Ninja is presumed to be an escapee from a cattle truck, but now a new life awaits her and her calf. They are considered local celebrities. The pair will live with an animal-loving family and most likely be a featured attraction at the fall festivals. Plattsmouth ‘ninja...

Romney Or Gingrich, A Mouse Or A Mouth?
by Pat_S on December 11, 2011I have serious misgivings about Newt’s intemperance in general, but this flap over his Palestine remarks is totally invented hysteria. Of course the flap was brought up in last night’s debate so Newt could get a public lashing. The exchange between Romney and Gingrich over the issue distinguished the difference between the two men in a striking way. Newt is baffled by the reaction and defends himself as one who will speak the truth. Aside from the correctness of his statement, telling the truth is a virtue, but sometimes silence is golden. It is a matter of discretion which is a questionable issue with Newt. Newt is a man who is not afraid to say something, letting the chips fall...
