Is it me, or are lead paint recalls few and far between lately?
Bar Magnets Recalled by Home Science Tools Due to Violation of Lead Paint Standard
I’m sure China didn’t just stop making stuff with lead paint. What gives?

Many people have been affected by the economic downturn. People from all sectors of the workforce are finding themselves looking for work, or worrying that tomorrow may be their last payday.
Oh sure, the economy has had a hiccup, and things could get pretty abd, but things are not nearly as bad as some employers want you to think it is. I’m sure many of them are using this downturn as an excuse to make the cuts they wanted to make irregardless of the economy.
For some, this might be the perfect small business opportunity. Depending on how much you have to invest there are several different options you can choose from.
If I had $10,000 to $20,000 I would look into a franchise opportunity in my area because, even though the economy is struggling right now, it’s the perfect time to get into the business and put a solid foundation underneath a new growing company.
My brother-in-law is the smart one when it comes to business opportunities and marketing those opportunities. If anyone could start a Florida franchise it’s him. Me? I would love to give it my all up here in Georgia, and you never know, it could happen.

I’ve been pretty busy this week with the day job, so you’ll have to pardon me if I point you to the post I wrote tonight on 101 Dead Armadillos.
The demands of serving as President do not afford the person residing in the White House a mulligan simply because he couldn’t make the right decision the first time around.
First and foremost, we need to know where a candidate stands. We need to be able to trust that the next President will be capable of making difficult decisions and we need to have the confidence that those decisions will be made in the best interests of the American people.

Like many families across America, we spend our days waking the kids up, feeding them, getting them ready for school (even though we do homeschool), feeding them lunch, and then dinner, helping them with their reading or aother assignments, and then finally, putting them to bed.
When the time comes each evening, when all three kids are settled into bed, my wife and I “escape” the pressures of our day with television. My wife loves the old movie classics, and I love network television programs. I always have.
Thanks to our digital video recorder, I am able to watch several different programs during the week. I try to catch some of them when they air, but because my job, and my interests and hobbies keep me at the computer so long, I find myself “catching up” with the dvr.
As a blogger who focuses on a lot of political topics, I have election fatigue. My wife isn’t as enveloped with politics like I am, and she is fatigued.
The last thing we are going to do tonight is stop everything and tune into the Barack Obama Infomercial.

Techdude delivers a final report that exceeds my wildest expectations. It is irrefutable, empirical evidence - Obama’s birth certificate is a forgery. Why? Why a COLB (certificate of live birth) forgery? That is the question. My deepest thanks and appreciation for Techdude’s unwavering commitment to the truth despite the threats and harassment, the slashed tires and the dead animal on his porch. Insofar as “techdude’s” credentials, he is an active member of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, American College of Forensic Examiners, The International Society of Forensic Computer Examiners, International Information Systems Forensics Association - the list goes on. He also a board certified as a forensic computer examiner, a certificated legal investigator, and a licensed private investigator. He has been performing computer based forensic investigations since 1993 (although back then it did not even have a formal name yet) and he has performed countless investigations since then. Here is his analysis: Obama’s Birth Certificate – CHANGE you can believe in. I have decided to leave out the low level technicalities and the how-to section of this report due to a lack of time and more importantly I want to get the facts out as quickly as possible. As some of you may or may not know some asshat decided to track me down and vandalize my car and hang a dead mutilated rabbit from my front door in a lame attempt to intimidate me from proceeding with releasing any details of my analysis. They did succeed in delaying the report by a few days but instead of deterring me they just really pissed me off. To their credit, if I had not taken a few days off from the analysis I would have missed the most damning piece of evidence – the remnants of the previous security border. So to the demented retard who slaughtered an animal to make a point – f*ck you and thank you. And because of the amazing number of violent psychopaths who seem to be drawn to this issue, I am not going to use or supply any details that can be used to identify the owners of the COLBS used in the analysis except for those which have already been publicly disclosed. If the owners want to come forward on their own that is entirely their decision. Now let’s get to the summarized report. In questioned document analysis there are several methods for detecting forgeries – the most basic of which is to conduct a side by side evaluation of known good samples to compare against the questioned one and to use an alternate light source to highlight the changes in the color and density of the inks and paper. In the case at hand there are no questioned physical documents to examine so I used the same basic techniques modified for the digital age for use in computer forensic analysis. The following analysis was conducted using various Hawaiian COLBS issued over a multi-year time frame ranging from 2001 through 2008 but…
HONOLULU, Hawaii Although the legitimacy of Sen. Barack Obama’s birth certificate has become a focus of intense speculation and even several lawsuits WND has learned that Hawaii’s Gov. Linda Lingle has placed the candidate’s birth certificate under seal
A new lawsuit may have traction….as it claims dual status obviates natural-born citizenship…. go here. Apparently the Governor of Hawaii has sealed Obama’s birth certificate records. Why? Why seal the records? What is Obama afraid of? Atlas reader Rudy emailed both the University of Washington and the University of Hawaii, and they sent him back dates of enrollment. It didn’t match the dates Wikipedia had for Stanley Ann Dunham. Bob tried to update Wikipedia and his updates got deleted within minutes. The big question is how was Ann having Barack in Honolulu in Aug 1961 AND enrolled at the U of Washington the same month? See official emails from U of Hawaii and U (see below) I’m concerned with the unlikely dates: Sept 26 1960 First day at U of Hawaii for Ann (Why did she start 6 weeks late?) One month later - conception Two months later - drops out of University of Hawaii Three months later - married 10 months later - back in Washington attending classes at University of Washington These are implausible dates, and may imply that Ann got pregnant in Seattle and THAT is why her family moved to Hawaii. University of Washington records place Stanley Ann Dunham in Washington State in Aug 1961 so how could she be in Honolulu 2680 miles away birthing Barack the same month. When public record information from the University of Washington was added to Wikipedia’s biography of Stanley Ann Dunham (Barack Hussein Obama Jr’s mother), it was removed in 35 minutes the first time and 34 minutes the second time. Read what Obama’s team of internet thugs doesn’t want you to know. EMAIL: “The University of Hawaii at Manoa is only able to provide the following information for Stanley Ann Dunham: Dates of attendance: Fall 1960 (First day of instruction 9/26/1960)Spring 1963 - Summer 1966 Fall 1972 - Fall 1974 Summer 1976 Spring 1978 Fall 1984 - Summer 1992 Degrees awarded: BA - Mathematics, Summer 1967 (August 6, 1967) MA - Anthropology, Fall 1983 (December 18, 1983) PhD - Anthropology, Summer 1992 (August 9, 1992) Sincerely,Stuart Lau”**************************************** Stuart Lau University Registrar Office of Admissions and Records University of Hawaii at Manoa Ph: (808) 956-8010 **************************************** And this: Ms. Stanley Ann Dunham was enrolled at the University of Washington for:Autumn 1961 Winter 1962 Spring 1962 The records responsive to your request from the University of Washington are above as provided by the Public Disclosure Laws of Washington State.

Madolyne Lawson Office of Public Records 206-543-9180 A SIMPLE QUESTION: Rudy Schultz – St. Louis MO HOW COULD STANLEY ANN DUNHAM HAVE DELIVERED BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA JR. IN AUGUST OF 1961 IN HONOLULU, WHEN OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON RECORDS SHOW HER 2680 MILES AWAY IN SEATTLE ATTENDING CLASSES THAT SAME MONTH?

What happened to doing the right thing?
Chances are the winner of this election won’t be the one most Americans want in the Oval Office, and that’s a shame, because whether we are Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, or Independent, we should be voting for the candidates we want rather than voting against the others we don’t.

On Friday, a judge made a ruling that we, as citizens do not have standing to uphold the U.S. Constitution. You should read this. I can guarantee you, the judge did not rule that we as citizens have an automatic right to gift baskets.
Our Constitution is a living, breathing document which sets forth the guidelines by which all of our subsequent laws are based. We know who writes the laws, who passes the laws, and who interprets the laws, but exactly who has standing to uphold our Constitution? Is that a power limited to the courts, our Congress, or our President? Shouldn’t we, the people, have the right to question the constitutionality of a matter? Apparently not.
