Sorry folks, but where George Soros is, there's no good to be done!
And so sorry Gordon Sumner, (Sting), by partnering with Soros it seems you are nothing but a turncoat.

Egypt, and Moslems, and Islam, Oh My!
These crazy Egyptians--fueled by HATRED--have destroyed much of their history! Antiquity! What stupid fools to be coerced by Islam--the religion of peace--no, the religion of pieces!
When Sting was feeling good, he was great. I keep many of his CDs because his messages made me, and others working under me, stop and think, for more than a moment.
These days, with disability, I continue to listen. I have never watched this video before...and it is really pretty amazingly done for 18 years ago.
I prefer that Sting's (Gordon Sumner's) could be the words to the Creator of us all these days...and that we all lose the current madness we seem to want to possess.
And may the silly Moslems in Egypt listen, for once, to the music of the times.

It's Winter: Please Feed The Birds & Other Animals in your Area
I live in the City of Chicago, Mayor Dick'em Daley, Mare, where the rats are fed everyday by you stupid people who throw your fries and chicken bones on the ground, because you're too damned lazy to find the garbage receptacle 5 or ten feet away.
But who feeds the birds, especially during winter. While you stuff your faces with MickeyD's, Arby's, and Burger King, there are God's creatures out there, small creatures who, especially in the city, need a little helping hand with some food--real food, not fries and burgers.
I'm forging an idea to feed the birds, at least, from high-rise apartments with nothing but windows, as long as they open. I will keep you apprised.
In the meantime, I offer this, which is an all-season plea for God's creations. After all, what does it cost, ultimately, for you to place out there a bit of birdseed?
Also, though the squirrel is a rodent, it is a much finer animal than the (Democ)rat.
Squirrels are tree-planters...how in the heck did you think all these wonderful forests keep growing?
Please feed them too, as they are the Creator's wonderful creatures.
WARNING: Do not feed the Obamas, if you can at all help it. They are voracious, with tapeworms at least 18 feet long, apparently, from reading of their past Super Bowl Party offerings.
Remember: Politics are an ugly choice to make, unless you are ugly too!

What's for dinner on a cold winter's night?
Homemade chicken soup, with chopped Crimini mushrooms, organic carrots (oh, so sweet @ 2# for $1.50!), Spanish onions and melon seed pasta, cooked in filtered water! YUM!
Just 15 minutes to prep everything, add a little salt, some crushed red pepper, 2 bay leaves--and a tablespoon or so of Balsamic vinegar. Bring it to a boil, then let it simmer, stirring several times over the course of 2 and half hours.
It is so delicious, warming, and more healthful than anything the Obamas have eaten lately!
If you're curious about the bowl...
...I purchased four of them for $5.00 2 years ago at Marshall's.
Here's the underside...I love the fact that the design is the Chinese character for "SOUP" !
BTW, these are the type of onions I get at a neighborhood 'onesy' type of market...for 39 cents a pound!
Would it have been easier to just open a can of Campbell's, or purchase soup in a plastic container (VERY high-priced) from the deli at my local Dominick's, you might ask?
Answer: NO, and NO. I prepared it, I know what's in it, it's not overly-salted...and I freeze some to enjoy on another day when I may not be spending the day working around the house.
I've cooked from scratch for more years than I can remember...and it has always given me a great satisfaction...and a feeling of wealth. This 2 quart pot of soup cost about $2.50, because I used skinless chicken breasts, but it can be made for even less using skinless chicken backs, legs or thighs and still be just as laden with chicken flavor!

But...what does Thomas think?
Biden announces high speed rail investment
Joe Biden as Mr. Conductor? That lunatic?
PHILADELPHIA (WRCB/AP) – The Obama Administration outlined a new plan Tuesday to develop a high-speed rail network.
Speaking in Philadelphia, Vice President Joe Biden and Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announced an initial $8 billion investment to the 6 year plan to develop high speed rail in the United States.
The proposal will place high-speed rail on equal footing with other surface transportation programs and revitalize America's domestic rail manufacturing industry by dedicating $53 billion over six years to continue construction of a national high-speed and intercity passenger rail network.
If Congress approves Obama's budget, the initial rail spending would focus on developing or improving trains that travel up to 250 miles per hour, and connecting existing rail lines to new projects.
The proposal calls for developing three types of corridors:
Core Express routes with trains traveling up to 250 miles per hour;
Regional routes that will reach 125 mph and bring travelers to the Core Express corridor;
Emerging lines will travel up to 90 mph and bring commuters to the larger high-speed rail networks and intercity lines.
Among the proposed high-speed rail corridors is a line that would connect Atlanta to Chattanooga to Nashville. The line would be part of a larger route connecting Miami with Chicago.
Vice President Biden said the $8 billion dollar investment would be split into two categories; $4 billion would be dedicated to planning and developing new rail lines, stations and equipment; the other $4 billion would be used for maintaining existing lines and bringing them into compliance with new regulations.
President Obama announced during the State of the Union a plan to provide high-speed rail access to 80 percent of the nation within 25 years.
*********
None of this sounds very well-thought-out...a recurring problem with this Obama administration.
Would you even want Joe Biden as your conductor?

From my Window: Sunday Surprise!
About 40 minutes ago, I opened my living room blinds to look at the world today. Here is some of what I saw:
Thought the curly willow juxtaposed against the snowy trees made for a nice effect.Soooo happy I was able to get out yesterday!
P.S.: It's beautiful, isn't it?
