A Forgotten Book

People worried about Big Brother always bring up 1984 or a Brave New World and even Fahrenheit 451 There is one other book once famous that has been forgotten.

It Can't Happen Here

By Sinclair Lewis

Doubleday, 1935

A charismatic Democratic senator who speaks in "noble but slippery ­abstractions" is elected president, in a groundswell of cultish adoration, by a nation on the brink of economic ­disaster. Promising to restore ­America's greatness, he promptly ­announces a government seizure of the big banks and insurance ­companies. He strong-arms the ­Congress into amending the Constitution to give him unlimited emergency powers. He throws his ­enemies into concentration camps. With scarcely any resistance, the country has ­become a fascist dictatorship. No black helicopters here, though. Sinclair Lewis's dystopian ­political satire, now largely forgotten except for its ironic title, was a ­mammoth best seller in 1935, during the depths of the ­Depression and the rise of fascism in Europe.

Bridge To The Future


Opening soon at a school near you.

Civics Imparied

Totally mind boggling watching the representative from N.H. justify government take over of health care because the "Constitution doesn't cover everything". That was the whole point of the Constitution not to cover everything. It was specifically designed to limit power and only cover things that a centralized government should. Congress is supposed to run the U.S. Government not the country. Article 10 covers everything else very nicely.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
or if it ain't covered keep your grubby little hands off out of it.

She mentions building roads that is covered under the interstate commerce clause of Article I Section 8. Is it too much to expect that people sworn to uphold the Constitution actually read and understand it. Reading a 1,100 health care bill before voting on it may be be a little too much to expect but the Constitution isn't that big and it is in relatively plain language. One amendment is needed people running for congress should be required to pass a basic civics test.

Is Your Weekend Planned?

At exactly 2:47 today planing for next weekend will commence. Plans will be finalized after 6 phone calls and8 text messages. Finalzation of plans results in 6 emails and facebook post discussing the plans. Study shows that regardless of the bad rap Blue Monday receives people are most miserable on Wednesday morning hump day. Consumed by work with previous weekend memories are fading and the next weekend is only on the distant horizon.

Thought For The Day

"It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis

Have a great weekend summer is quickly coming to a close.

Oh No The Arugula Will Spoil

Trendies and other people with too much money are threating a boycott of one of their own, Whole Foods, after reading the CEO's editorial in the Wall Street Journal. Sounding like an old hippie that has been mugged, he burnt some biscuits when he started off with the Margaret Thatcher quote "The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money." The Op-ed then went on to offer a reasonable alternative to ObamaCare. Seems they don't want any reasonable alternative that conflicts with the Obama orthodoxy.

NJ Teacher Docked $23,000 For Phone Call

She should have just sent a text message.

That Crazy Sarah Palin

The former Governor of Alaska has come under criticism for her use of the term Death Panel. Where did she get such a crazy idea?

THE PRESIDENT: So that’s where I think you just get into some very difficult moral issues. But that’s also a huge driver of cost, right?

I mean, the chronically ill and those toward the end of their lives are accounting for potentially 80 percent of the total health care bill out here.

DAVID LEONHARDT: So how do you — how do we deal with it?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I think that there is going to have to be a conversation that is guided by doctors, scientists, ethicists. And then there is going to have to be a very difficult democratic conversation that takes place. It is very difficult to imagine the country making those decisions just through the normal political channels. And that’s part of why you have to have some independent group that can give you guidance. It’s not determinative, but I think has to be able to give you some guidance. And that’s part of what I suspect you’ll see emerging out of the various health care conversations that are taking place on the Hill right now.
NY Times April 28, 2009

A Non-Determinative Smart Kid Panel sounds so much nicer than Death Panel. Even if one of the smart kids ethicist already a top adviser that happens to have the following views.

some medical services should not be guaranteed to those “who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens....An obvious example is not guaranteeing health services to patients with dementia.”

A rationing system that:
“produces a priority curve on which individuals aged between roughly 15 and 40 years get the most chance, whereas the youngest and oldest people get chances that are attenuated."
Grandma had her chance and if you have a baby with problems you can always try again to produce a more productive, less costly citizen.

Specter Campaigning for Toomey






This was supposed to be a townhall meeting then the rules were changed to eliminate any questions like "Do you have any idea what you are doing"? Seems the change in the even upset a few people.

Wow he didn't ask for a bonus to travel to Lebanon. The hopefully soon former senator makes $174,000 for four days a week for two-thirds of a year. A free medical and dental package that greatly exceeds the ObamaCare he is pushing for everyone else and will be the one plan that won't go away. When he is retired he will receive 80% of that salary until he dies which could be awhile since there won't be a death committed telling him just go home and take a pill.

Lisa Marie Presley Needs Your Help

Brandywine could learn from schools in Nigeria on how to develop creative writers. Their 419ers keep improving.

Michael Jackson the king of pop music born 29 August 1958, died 25 June
2009, I Lisa Marie Presley got married to Michael on 18 May 1994 the
marriage lasted till 18 January 1966, despite we got divorce indeed.
Sincerely we still love each other. Two days before Michael died he
provides me with $15,000,000:00 to construct a charity home in Nigeria.

ABOUT MICHAEL JACKSON DEATH AND EVIDENCE
Presently in Nigeria after some days Michael housekeeper left a message on
my answering machine “Hello Lisa, Michael is died he was drug with
overdose of Diprevan, a powerful painkiller Michael death was plan by his
relatives, I have no one else to trust I have sent you the evidence I
recorded in a tap, my life is in danger” suddenly I heard gunshot
without doubt the housekeeper was the victim. I could not believe what my
ears where hearing immediately I browse through the internet with my
iphone it was boldly written on CNN website that Michael Jackson has
been confirmed dead. I wait patiently enough to receive the evidence, when
I played the tap I saw that Michael was injected with overdose of
Diprevan, a powerful painkiller which leads to is death, Michael death was
plan by his relative and our lawyer. According to the news the autopsy is
correct about Michael death.

For security reason; the evidence tap and the money Michael give to me
regarding the construction company building the charity home in Nigeria, I
deposited it with a security company in Nigeria. Both baggages contain the
evidence tap and $15,000,000 cash.

I’m writing you from ULTH hospital I have been in coma for some few past
days; I was shot twice in my stomach on my way going to the airport, I
believe that same people how killed Michael are also trying to kill me
because they most have known that I have the evidence of Michael death.

I need your assistance desperately not just for the moment but to make
history by letting the world know the truth of Michael Jackson death, or
we can just sit back to enjoying CNN broadcasting false news about Michael
death. Due to my ill status I want the security company to deliver my
baggages to you, where you will find the evidence tap and $15,000,000:00
cash. Get back to me with the below information to know how confident you
are; Name….; Address……; Country…….; phone #......;

End Of Life Consultation

The White House recently released video on a typical end of life consultation proscribed in the current health bill.



Where did Sarah Palin get such an over the top idea as health rationing and death committees? Well for starters from one of President Obama key health Dr. Ezekial Emanuel (brother of Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel) advisors and brother to his chief-of-staff Ron Emanuel.

considers prognosis, since its aim is to achieve complete lives. A young person with a poor prognosis has had a few life-years but lacks the potential to live a complete life. Considering prognosis forestalls the concern the disproportionately large amounts of resources will be directed to young people with poor prognoses. When the worst-off can benefit only slightly while better-off people could benefit greatly, allocating to the better-off is often justifiable….When implemented, the complete lives system produces a priority curve on which individuals aged between roughly 15 and 40 years get the most chance, whereas the youngest and oldest people get chances that are attenuated.

Friend Of The Working Man?

Nice that the “Cash For Clunker” program gives people $4,500 for some old pile of rust but John Stossel takes a look at people that need a pile of rust. What about people that can only afford a very low priced car for work or a starter car for their kids? They are now being ground up along with what would have been spare parts driving up those prices.

John Hughes R.I.P.

Director and screenwriter of some of the classic '80's and 90's films died today of a heart attack at 59. Among his films Planes, Trains and Automobiles, National Lampoon's Vacation, and Home Alone. He defined high school life during that time period with — Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Breakfast Club and Weird Science.

A great line that didn't make the final cut in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
FERRIS:
My uncle went to Canada to protest the war, right? On the Fourth of July he was down with my aunt and he got drunk and told my Dad he felt guilty he didn't fight in Viet Nam. So I said, "What's the deal, Uncle Jeff? In wartime you want to be a pacifist and in peacetime you want to be a soldier. It took you twenty years to find out you don't believe in anything?"
(snaps his fingers)
Grounded. Just like that. Two weeks.
(pause)
Be careful when you deal with old hippies. They can be real touchy.
