National ID Card

Our new President and the powerful Democratic controlled Congress are pushing for a national ID card. That way, they say, there will be lots of benefits and protections.

This short video just came to me in email. I have no idea who made it. In a way, it is funny. In another way, it is very scary. As you watch it I suspect you will be thinking "No way...that cannot happen!" Oh Yeah? Remember this, for example: When I was a boy Flash Gordon Comics were popular and Flash was shooting the enemy with a "ray gun." "That is cute," we thought, "but there will never be a real gun like that!" OH? So what are lazers then? DO WE REALLY WANT A NATIONAL ID CARD??? NOT ME!!!

Enjoy the video about how to Order A Pizza in 2010.

Speaking Of A National ID Card

What do you know about what is going on regarding a National ID Card? In truth, there are those in congress for and those against; as well as bureaucrats for and bureaucrats against. The idea of a national ID card has been around for a long time. The Electronic Privacy Information Center (epic.org) has a good, but brief history of the issue. Inform yourself!

Interesting Comment Regarding President Obama

It is interesting that the Russian Newspaper Pravda, in its online version, reported on August 16, 2009: "Prime Minister Putin, less then two months ago, warned Obama and UK's Blair, not to follow the path to Marxism, it only leads to disaster." [quote is on page 2] Pravada went on to state: "Apparently, even though we suffered 70 years of this Western sponsored horror show, we know nothing, as foolish, drunken Russians, so let our "wise" Anglo-Saxon fools find out the folly of their own pride." Mr. Putin is the previous president of Russia and, during Soviet times, was the head of the KGB. He should know what of what he speaks. I guess I am not the only one who believes President Obama has us on the path to Marxism. Those who lived it can see it!

Southwest Airlines...Hypocritical?

It would seem that Southwest Airlines has a double standard relative to their dress code. Southwest took Kyla Ebbert off a flight because they deemed her miniskirt attire inappropriate.

The story appeared in the San Diego Union-Tribune.

Yet, Southwest has painted one of their jets with the full body of Bar Rafaeli an Israeli model dressed in a bikini.

According to the above cited article in the San Diego Union-Tribute, Southwest explained its treatment of Ebbert in a letter to her mother, saying it could remove any passenger “whose clothing is lewd, obscene or patently offensive” to ensure the comfort of children and “adults with heightened sensitivities.”

So my question is: If Kyla Ebbert's clothing was "lewd" or "patently offensive;" What does Southwest call the clothing on the girl painted on the side of their airplane?

Do I hear...."Hypocrits"...."Double Standard"......Kyle finally got to take flight. But one wonders what is Southwest's Dress Code...or do they just fly by the seat of their pants?
