Been busy this weekend! Just wanted to say, I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July! It's my favorite holiday because, it's all American!
I had the most enjoyment watching my little girl watch the fireworks and get excited. She's a doll. I can't wait for her to be just a little older and hold some sparklers.

Patti Blagojevich - Her Sob Story
I remember watching this show and almost feeling some pity for Patti Blagojevich. I knew, in the back of my head, that something was wrong and, that I should wait until the trial. Sure enough, it's becoming more and more evident how much she was involved directly with what her husband did. She knew exactly what he was doing.
Blago Watch!

The corruption trial carries on. We continue to learn more about how Blagojevich was a man with delusions of grandeur.
The following is a conversation between Blagojevich and Former Deputy Governor Doug Scofield.
Also included on the tapes, a conversation between Blago and political consultant Bill Knapp.
So, it's clear the defense is going to be blaming the people and advisers around Blagojevich. It is their defense that no one corrected him but, too bad for the defense that ignorance is NO excuse of the law. Especially when the defendant is someone who should KNOW the law. Not to mention, just common sense should have told him what he was trying to do was WRONG.
If I get pulled over for speeding and my excuse is that I didn't know the speed limit, that isn't an excuse. I will still get a ticket. That applies to any law.
This case is open and shut. Blago is an utter fraud. The more this trial carries on, the more I am absolutely convinced of his guilt.

BLAGO: "But you know what about Patti on some, you know corporate boards? Paid Corporate boards right now. Can they help us that way?"
SCOFIELD: "I think they could."
BLAGO: "Yeah. so..."
SCOFIELD: "The, the President-elect, they think he can do most anything he sets his mind to if he wants."
BLAGO: "Yeah."
Also included on the tapes, a conversation between Blago and political consultant Bill Knapp.
Some spoke their mind. In one call, political consultant Bill Knapp advises Blagojevich not to name himself to the Senate:
KNAPP: "Because I think it's a--it makes you a national joke."
Later in the call Blagojevich lets loose:
BLAGO:: "I mean, you guys are telling me I just gotta suck it up for two years and do nothing. Give this (expletive) his Senator. (Expletive) him! For nothing? (Expletive) him. I'll put Louanner there before I do that."
KNAPP: "You'd do what?"
BLAGO: "I'll put Louanner in the Senate before I just give (expletive) Valerie Jarrett a (expletive) Senate seat, and I don't get anything from some (expletive) chicken (expletive)...Oh, don't get me started."

Total SHOCKER! Paris Hilton Smokes Weed - Charges Dropped
Paris Hilton went to South Africa for the World Cup and was busted for possession/smoking of marijuana.
It appears as though charges have been dropped against her.
Click title of this post for full story being reported on the AP.
Yeah, right. She's totally innocent I'm sure. I happen to know for a fact that the heiress is a long time marijuana smoker. Oh, well, just another example of how money will get you out of practically anything.
It's really not that smoking weed is the end of the world but, it's just silly how some folks get away with everything, while others would be in serious trouble.
It appears as though charges have been dropped against her.
Hilton wrote on Twitter later: "Hey guys, there's a lot of crazy rumors going around. Just want you all to know the truth. Everything is completely fine. I was not charged or arrested, cause I didn't do anything."

Blago Watch!
On Thursday, during the trial, prosecutors presented a motive for Blagojevich trying to obtain a higher level seat within the Obama administration.
Blagojevich, and his wife Patti, were spending money like crazy. Receipts from their shopping showed a fondness for designer clothing.
They were in a mountain of debt and, the tapes clearly showed that the former governor was indeed stressed about his money concerns. He can even be heard saying that he could not afford college for his daughter.

The most disturbing charge, I thought was Patti's, that was $3,800 for furs. Who the hell wears fur these days? It's just cruel to do so.

Wisdom of Nancy Pelosi
Unemployment checks will create jobs. That's the fastest way to go about helping the economy. Well, this is according to the great Pelosi, anyway.
Hitler Ringtone Can Get You 6 Months in Jail in Germany
In Germany, it is illegal to have swastikas or, apparently anything that concerns Nazi's. That is the reason a German man is now facing up to six months in jail.
Apparently, this man has a ringtone on his phone that features Hitler speaking. He was on a train, where the tone could be heard by other passengers, who reported him to authorities.

Okay, the man is obviously a loon but, what about free speech? I thought Germany supported that? Unless this man belongs to some group that plans on overtaking the government, I'm not exactly sure what his threat to others would be. He's just an idiot, plain and simple.

Obama On Immigration
Obama's recent speech concerned immigration. It appears as though he knows he is going to need bipartisan support on this issue.
He states that he wants to hold illegals accountable but, he criticizes the recent law passed by the state of Arizona. He advocates for illegals paying fines, taxes, and learning English but, it seems as though he does not want to ship anyone back to Mexico. We are expected to absorb an illegal population that has grown to 11 million people.
Click title of post for full story.
He also seems quite reluctant to seal our borders, claiming that "it won't work." So, we're supposed to just allow more people to come here illegally? I guess it's just going to be as simple as paying a fine? What about folks that want to come here legally and have applied to do so? Are they supposed to wait in line because, we are going to allow all these illegals to stay? How is that holding them accountable for breaking the law?
Obama criticizes Arizona law but, he doesn't appear to know who he is actually criticizing - the people that voted for that law! People want reform alright and that reform is closing the border and, kicking out the people that have no business being here.

Religious Freedom Means Ban The Bible
The Collier County School District in Florida has decided to ban distribution of The Bible to students. Even though the Bibles were distributed during off-school hours, the school is claiming that the Bibles do not provide any educational benefit.
Click title of post for full story.
The Bible has been widely accepted as documentation of not just the Old and New Testament but, as history since, many of the stories have been confirmed from other historical writings. Aside from that but Judaism, as well as Christianity has it's roots within The Bible.
When I went to school, it was required that we learn about several world religions, paganism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, ect. The purpose for learning these religions stems from understanding the cultures from where they were created, as well as understanding how laws were developed in countries. That is history. How does that not provide educational benefits?
A lawsuit has been filed by the Maitland-based Liberty Counsel.

Volunteers Ready for Oil Clean Up But Are Ignored
It is being reported that there are thousands of volunteers to help clean up beaches, as well as help with the oil spill but, instead, most of these folks have been just waiting around for instructions.
Foreign countries have also offered to help but, approval for many of them has either not come or, when it did, it took over a month to do so.
No one knows what the hold up is. The Obama administration promised all this transparency but, instead, like everything else, the people are left confused and, with no answers. The administration is denying most of these accusations but, at the same time, not being specific when answering questions posed by the media.

Millions of gallons of oil have been flowing into the ocean and it seems there is no end in site. What are they going to do? Obama says that BP is responsible but, they were already responsible according to laws that have already been passed. So, really, he didn't do anything concerning placing responsibility.
They've told us that BP has the worst record for safety and other violations but, Obama has been in office for over a year now and, they obviously didn't do enough inspections or, enforce laws that would force BP to correct all these mistakes they are accused of making.
The question remains, what is Obama doing? What is BP doing? What are their plans, if they are not accepting help from others willing to do so? Could they not at least tell us why volunteers are sitting around waiting for instructions? Or why they are not accepting help from foreign countries? It's time to demand some answers. An investigation needs to be done because, there is absolutely no transparency as far as I can see.
