Hey, Don't Touch My Junk

"Hey man, touch my junk, I'm going to have you arrested." This young man -- in refusing to be subjected to TSA groping of his "privates", after refusing to be nude scanned at the LAX Airport earlier this week -- surely is our generation's Paul Revere, or just another California guy in need of self-esteem counseling. Come on, what "Junk" is he talking about?

Please, President Obama, stop the madness. Intrusive pre-boarding screening should be intelligently targeted based only upon objective threat factors raising the probability that the putative passenger is a terrorist, preparing for an immediate attack on America.

TSA now arbitrarily selects every tenth passenger for enhanced pre-boarding body screening. Why? We are not at war with every 10th airport traveller; We are at war with radical Islamic jihadists. Accordingly, TSA experts should interview passengers fitting the profile of the previous 200 or so terrorists who have attacked us. This is not racial profiling; indeed, it is the exclusive means to stop the absolutely useless harassment of 85 year old nuns and 8 year old girls from offensive groping due only to their misfortune to have been the tenth person in line for routine screening. I am very tired of being "defended" by cowards afraid to offend arab-looking, young male travelers, but not bothered at all by assaulting sexually thousands of obviously harmless Americans, both very old and very young, and those without sufficient self-esteem. Just saying ...

Let the Good Times Roll Again

As your Humble Blogger has noted in this forum often, the Universe has a way of comforting the Just and not Evil Doers. I say "the Force" protects some, more than others, simply because of the power of Positive vs. Negative Karma.

Accordingly, here is my year fourth quarter tally of infinite justice. Bart Favre - head exploded, again. Brad Childress - got Favre's brains all over his face. Air Force Academy - Winner of the Commander-in-Chief Trophy. Dallas Cowboys - dead with head coach buried. Jerry Jones - owner of the Greatest Ego Edifice in All of History, with no legitimate NFL team to play in it.

Now for the Good: Davidson College commences its 103rd year of Division I Men's Basketball Saturday nite at the great shrine to BB, the Palestra in Philadelphia. My first hand, court side account of this amateur tussle will appear in this space early Sunday morning. So, to all you have been burdened by the cares of this crazy world, be of good cheer, the 'Cats are back on the Prowl.

After the Cheering Stops - Buy gold

Yes, loyal listeners, Elections do have Consequences. Accordingly, I offer three certainties:

(1) President Obama will now focus on his Administration's only job, which is JOBS, JOBS, JOBS. Oh wait, he said that he will start to focus on jobs after returning from his 10 day trip to India (to see the festival of lights) Indonesia (to see the statute of himself) and South Korea (to see where the North Korean Navy sunk a RSK vessel, with no consequences, as killing dozens of innocents is not an election). This "Happening" is reported to include a 3000 person presidential entourage, forty-four US warships and a cost to taxpayers in excess of 500 million dollars. At least Mr. Obama didn't tell us that he knows that the electorate wants him to stop spending (our money, not his own) beyond the nation's ability to pay as we go.

(2) The MSM will continue to extoll President Clinton as the one sure thing as a political force in the Democratic Party. Why you ask? Beats me, as just about everything Bubba touches turns to complete SH*T. First, he moves in to shore up Pa.'s "Magic Bullet" turncoat senator, by offering a no pay job to Joe Sestak. Then, after that fiasco, he embraced the loser Admiral in his contest against Senator-Elect Toomey. Third, Bubba goes south to try to dump his very good buddy, Congressman Meeks, asking him to drink a cup of hemlock, in favor of turncoat Charlie Crist. Well, I imagine Hillary can't wait for her Better Half to take the reigns of her soon to be launched bid to dump the Non-Anointed One-Half.

(3) The Federal Reserve, our nation's Central Bank, will go into its basement, print more than 600,000,000,000.00 (over six hundred billion dollars) to purchase newly issued Treasury Bonds. As the ChiComs no longer want our ever cheaper dollars, we are forced to buy our own federal debt by just printing paper with no backing whatsoever. If such a ploy sounds unprecedented, it is not. See, Weimar Republic, 1920s Germany, when no economic activities were behind a massive expansion of paper money ("Marks"), run away inflation resulted, forcing people using wheelbarrows to carry sufficient currency to the market to buy a loaf of bread. So, my friends, Buy Gold (or wheelbarrows) now.

To All Americans, I say Congratulations

Yes, it is again morning in America. Today, we can all say to Ben Franklin: "We have kept the Republic strong and alive through the imperfect, but best possible way - the withdrawal of the consent of the governed to the ruling party by voting in the Party of the Outs." And with no shots fired and no tanks in the streets, the Party of the "Ins" will peaceably leave office.

Today, I am assured that there are no Republicans, no Democrats, no Tea Party members, and most certainly no political enemies, nor even opponents this morning. We all are Americans today; we can now come together in unity to confront our very real enemies abroad who are seeking to murder as many Americans as they can. We can come together in unity to confront the very real challenges at home that threaten the health and welfare of even more millions.

My vote yesterday, and even more strongly this morning, is for all Americans to unite behind limited government which balances its budget, to allow everyone to achieve his own life goals, not the life path chosen for each of us in far away and hidden bureaucrat offices.
