Boo! Just in time for Halloween

I have been sent another email with a scary slideshow about what will happen under an Obama presidency (establishment of a Socialist State).
This was followed by an email from with a link to a "news" organization that alleged that Saddam Hussein help buy Obama's home.

What utter garbage. These are truly desparate times and I guess some people need to blame "that one"

Rather than clogging the email stream by replying, I thought I would provide a link to at least one of the sites. In the interest of balance I tried to find a bit about the group that produced the presentation. I discovered that they have a whole selection of scary movies and articles about Islamic terrorist and Mexicans. I'm suspicious of any presentation that I can't fact check but realized that it is almost Halloween, so as a public service I'm offering a link to some truly scary stuff.

Is it accurate? NO! Is it scary, with scary music? YES!

You have been warned!!!

I used the "evaluating websites" materials our librarian uses to help students (and adults!) evaluate websites to have references that are scholarly and useful for an academic analysis of topics. This site failed meeting a standard of reference, as did 8 random link sites I checked.

Want to know the job qualifications to start? Read a resume. Both are on their own websites- EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND:
     Obama:
     Columbia University - B.A. Political Science with a
     Specialization in International Relations. Harvard - Juris Doctor
     (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude
     Biden:
     University of Delaware - B.A. in History and B.A. in Political
     Science. Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.)
 
     McCain:
     United States Naval Academy - Class rank: 894 of 899
     Palin:
     Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semester
     North Idaho College - 2 semesters - general study
     University of Idaho - 2 semesters - journalism
     Matanuska-Susitna College - 1 semester - fashion
     University of Idaho - 3 semesters - B.A. in Journalism

I does not have the hate drama- which can be useful for thoughtful review.

I have hired many people, interviewed many more, and read more than my share of resumes over the years. One thing I've learned in that time is that unless the person is just out of college the educational experience part of the resume is a poor indicator of success. The jobs we do require excellent problem solving skills, and the ability to design and execute on complicated plans of action. Show me a person with little or no higher education that has worked themselves up through the ranks, acquired the necessary skills and experience with sheer force of will and desire, and I'd hire that person in a heartbeat over the PhD from MIT.

I bet this type of resume might sound strangely familiar to our blog host.

The email about the United Socialist States of America came from my friend's brother who is an FBI agent in NYC and the content about Obama's associations and radical views are well documented. The senate votes are also factual. I'm sorry that so many choose to be in denial. All the formal education Obama has had only supports that he is an elitist. He is creating more class warfare with his socialist, redistribution of wealth policies. What gives him the right to take my money and give it to others that he deems more deserving? If you have a good reason I'd like to hear it. Debbie Mahoney

Barb ---> Very observant! Kinda like a Halloween movie.

Susan ---> Great research.

John Weber ---> Yep. Experience counts but so does someone who acknowledges what they don't know and brings in the resources needed.

Anonymous ---> Elitist? How can you say that after having that frat boy in office for 8 years???

I cannot fathom the anguish these grieving families are experiencing since the Sandy Hook massacre.  On this Mother's Day the Sandy Hook Promise foundation has posted an online Mother's Day Card for the mothers of the slain children.

Scott Brown Victory in Massachusetts

Email is not the proper forum for discussion so I created a place-holder topic on this PUBLIC site to discuss the recent historic election of Scott Brown, a republican in the very blue state of Massachusetts. Keep it civil folks! I am the moderator of this blog and I can block comments that are off topic or nasty. The Democrats are already in a circular firing squad looking for someone to blame but this victory did not surprise me, even though I'm a bleeding heart liberal. I was upset with the special treatment that some of the senators got for supporting health care, or maybe jealous because our senator Jeanne Shaheen wasn't clever enough to hold out for more. I still have hope for Obama's presidency, but I did detect a bit of back room Chicago style politicking. I didn't care for the secret meetings when I was "hoping" for the transparency and the online postings of legislation. So weigh in with your opinions here instead of sending "reply to all&qu

I'm Joe the Plumber

On a recent morning walk, my friend John Poltrack suggested that maybe I would have been a better icon to represent the proverbial small business man than the now world famous Joe the Plumber . John the Software Engineer owns his own business, employs people, and pays a good chunk of his business income in taxes. I think I pay too much in taxes, but of course everybody thinks that. I made the mistake one time of sitting down and calculating how much of Big Time Software’s income actually goes out in taxes of way form or another and the answer is a very discouraging 50%. That qualifies as too much in my opinion…and I still consider myself a patriot despite what Joe Biden might think. My business makes more money than Senator Obama seems to think I deserve to keep, so I can look forward to being in his crosshairs to pay even more should he be elected President. I certainly don’t want to attract the scrutiny of the crack investigative media teams that have unearthed every skeleton in p
