Happy Easter RS'ers!

mom2oneson (Diary) Sunday, April 12th at 12:11AM EST (link)

Enjoy your families and Easter dinner! :)

I am a moron, I am working on Easter?

DONTREADONME (Diary) Sunday, April 12th at 12:18AM EST (link)

thanks for reminding me, I am sitting here going through a performance specification for a program I am on, and realized what am I doing? It is time to be with my family, I am surprised my mother did not call me. I remember when TV used to say something about the easter holiday, they do not do it anymore. Anway, I guess I will hang it up and rejoice for…

“But at daybreak on the first day of the week they took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb; but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
While they were puzzling over this, behold, two men in dazzling garments appeared to them.”They were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground. They said to them, “Why do you seek the living one among the dead? He is not here, but he has been raised. Remember what he said to you while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be handed over to sinners and be crucified, and rise on the third day.” And they remembered his words.”

Luke 24:1-9

You are not a moron for working on Easter. Jesus said be like him, and he worked on Easter. Amen

They say Republicans are for the rich, Democrats are for the poor.
If they need more voters,
then they have to make more of who they are for.

Yeah, and yet I keep on working...

I have been going back and forth from RS to work and just recently, I had the verbal s*@% kicked out me by another person who has been around here for a while. Man, that ruined my night. You know, it may actually be worse to have someone on this website crush you for helping that it is getting in an argument with a troll.

I start work in a few minutes

mom2oneson (Diary) Sunday, April 12th at 1:25AM EST (link)

here is some coffee :)

thanks, you knew i needed that...

DONTREADONME (Diary) Sunday, April 12th at 1:31AM EST (link)

:) I actually considered stopping this whole RS thing tonight for the first time in a long time, well just about three minutes or so ago. You know I have been working on some diaries that are getting tough to complete since work seems to take my highest priority. That is I am trying to give a reason to the Gov (DoD) to keep me around (option my contract) for another year. Keep an eye on defense spending, when that goes down, there is a good chance I am looking. That is why you have seen nothing from me for a while other than the occasional drive-by once in a while. I noticed you come around these parts quite often, never a dull moment huh?

family 3rd, country 4th, Job 5th, and 6th party affiliation. Of course it could depend on the direction of the party or if it is a good old cocktail party than I could move it to 5th.

BTW, God can not be 1st if sleep is 1st-nt

Who gave you the coffee? From the origin. Every thing totally we have is from God.

Now that I know what a Kowalski is...

DONTREADONME (Diary) Sunday, April 12th at 2:17AM EST (link)

I am really embarrased, why didn’t anyone tell me this sooner. I have been pulling a kowalski for about 5 months now. Never again will I reply to my own comment. I get it.

What is PULLING A KOWALSKI? (ht: kowalski himself…)
“Pulling a Kowalski” is an eponymous term and a euphamism for replying to your own comment with another comment. I do it because my blogging brain works in a strange, asynchronous manner — thoughts I would rather have placed in their proper order during execution are mysteriously delayed “in flight” while my brain parses them, and arrive out-of-order in the output stream. It is left to you, Dear Reader, to read re-parse all the comments and reassemble them into a coherent thought, if possible. I have to do this myself a lot of the time, alas.

found this quote on the way to something else

dwarfmama (Diary) Sunday, April 12th at 8:29AM EST (link)

In perpetrating a revolution, there are two requirements: someone or something to revolt against and someone to actually show up and do the revolting. Dress is usually casual and both parties may be flexible about time and place, but if either faction fails to attend, the whole enterprise is likely to come off badly.

Our contest is not only whether we ourselves shall be free, but whether there shall be left to mankind an asylum on earth for civil and religious liberty. (Samuel Adams)

Huge Bomb Lab Found In Mosque

Kenny Solomon (Diary) Sunday, April 12th at 6:38AM EST (link)

The religion of peace……… Makes me wonder how much of the near-one-billion-dollars President Traitor gave these Hamas animals ended up being used for this operation.

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/130824

Hamas terrorists in Kalkilya built a large supply of bombs and stored them in a local mosque without raising suspicion from local Palestinian Authority armed forces who represent the rival Fatah faction. However, the terrorists were out of luck on Wednesday, Passover eve, when a simple electric shortage gave away their plans.

….snip…..

Four people have been arrested in connection to the incident, he said, two of them members of Hamas and two “everyday citizens.”

“Everyday citizens”………. Can you see the conversation ?……….Honey, I’m off to the market, then to the pharmacy then the bomb factory… be back for dinner.

Meanwhile, President Traitor ignores an American floating in the Gulf Of Aden held at gunpoint by “everyday citizens”. I bet we have to start calling them that now.

Contrast Their Protest Plans to Tea Parties

jwebb (Diary) Sunday, April 12th at 9:50AM EST (link)

OK, so I spent about 2.5 minutes scanning their site to see what the beef was. Banks are evil, capitalism sucks, etc. What I did notice however is something about their planned protests that has kinda bothered me about the Tea Parties. To wit, their planned protests are all supposed to take place in front of banks, investment companies, a large insurance company, and a few in front of local governemnt offices. I suspect their 200 person demonstrations will garner quite a bit of media attention due primarily to the locations. In other words, they are planning to put the protests ‘in their faces’. Meanwhile, the Tea Parties are following the rules and assembing in parks and other designated areas. I’m not advocating large-scale civil disobedience (yet), and will wait to see the impact our actions may have before passing judgement, but the very notion of seeking permits for protest rallies seems surreal.
About three years ago, there were large May day rallies in cities across America in support of illegal immigration. How many of those ‘rallies’ had the proper permits? Since I was travelling across the country that day, I recall the anxiety that those ‘rallies’ would snarl cities. Even though the impact was less than anticipated, the issue got plenty of attention because the threat was percieved, not ‘permitted’.

Not all are in parks

RIDICULOUS QUOTE OF THE DAY; by Roger Simon

Swamp_Yankee (Diary) Sunday, April 12th at 3:42PM EST (link)

“For a guy who was never in the military, President Obama seems very comfortable when visiting troops. I never got that impression with either Bill Clinton or George W. Bush. And the troops seem very comfortable with Obama.” – Roger Simon

Bwahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahhahahhaha!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good one, Roger!

http://www.creators.com/opinion/roger-simon/simon-says-2009-04-10.html

 

The spin has begun.

Flagstaff (Diary) Sunday, April 12th at 8:26PM EST (link)

“The order to use deadly force came directly from the Commander in Chief.”

“But only if the Captain’s life is in imminent danger.” Why the qualification? How long until they have him giving the order to “Fire.”

This is an opportunity for Obama to present his more humble side. A statement that “Commander(X) was in charge at the scene. He had permission to act as he saw necessary. The men aboard the Bainbridge and Captain Phillips deserve all the credit” would go a long way towards humanizing the Obama.

“The press is so powerful in its image-making role that it can make a criminal look like he’s the victim and make the victim look like he’s the criminal. If you aren’t careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”– Malcolm X, Audubon Ballroom, December 13, 1964
