Banks balk

Certainly is nice to see that executives would balk at low interest money because their pay is going to be capped at $500,000 when most Americans make less then $50,000. It also is nice to see them not caring how this will effect the economy and how they won't use the money the way it was intended to get the economy going again.

The Sale of Children's Books to be Banned

Got this in an email from a friend. This is beyond absurd.

---

Oh, how I wish this were a joke! But it is a grim and looming, almost Orwellian, reality.

Effective February 10th, in the United States, the sale of all children's books (books intended for children ages 12 and under) is to be PROHIBITED. Every single book printed prior to the ruling is affected, whether new or used. New books in production are required to include a "lead-free" certification and will be the only books that are legal to offer for sale.

What does this mean to the homeschooling family?

Well, for one, curriculum fairs across the country will be cancelled as book vendors scramble to figure out how to comply with the new ruling. Complete book inventories will have to be destroyed -- the ruling even prohibits giving away the books! Local thrift stores will be hard hit -- most will likely have to close their doors -- yes, even Goodwill and Salvation Army.

Clothing, toys and books -- even CDs and DVDs are included in the ruling. Thrift stores will no longer be able to accept or process anything (including clothing) that would be intended for a child.

No more library sales. Libraries will not be permitted to give away or sell book donations. It is unsure yet, however, how the libraries' shelves themselves will be impacted (the ruling doesn't explicitly mention "loaning" books, just selling or giving them away). The key word, however, is "distribution" -- libraries may well be required to destroy books from their shelves.

(The ruling that originally passed was about toys, but the EPA has since made a statement that clothing, books and media are included in "children's toys".)

Just how serious is this new law?

Amazon.com has already notified all vendors of their need to comply. No book can be sold at the Amazon site that was printed prior to compliance. And the "compliance" must be coordinated at the manu- facturing stage. At the time of this article there is no clause to be able to grandfather-in older books or even rare out-of-print books. It can cost between $500 and $1500 to test a book for lead.

I happen to own a children's bookstore specializing in living books from the 1950s and '60s. My punishment for selling a book after February 10th? Up to $100,000 and 5 years in jail. And yes, it is a felony charge. For selling a SINGLE book.

(Although I don't think the S.W.A.T. team scenario would become a reality overnight, at the same time I would be leery of blatantly violating Federal law.)

So what can you do to help save your local used bookstore that sells children’s books? Or that homeschool curriculum business? Or your EBay business selling children's items?

Islam taught in Texas School

Pastor Dave Welch, executive director of the Houston Area Pastor Council, is just one of those angry over a presentation by two female representatives of the Council on American-Islamic Relations that students at the Friendswood Junior High School were forced to attend two weeks ago.

"The specific details, as we were given by the students, included teachings that Adam, Noah, and Jesus were all prophets like Mohammed; the basic tenets of Islam; the process of how to pray five times a day; again, the pillars of Islam. These were specific, religious instructions," Welch explains.

Welch says Principal Robin Lowe explained to parents, who initially complained, that the assembly was held to deal with comments some students had made that were insensitive to Arab students. "This was not just cultural issues of the manners and ways of Arab culture. This was Islamic teaching," says the Houston pastor. "That was the issue that, obviously, raised great concern. This was forced religious instruction and [what we call] Islamic ... 'indoctrination.'"

Even more egregious, Welch says, is the fact that the principal was allegedly ordered by the superintendent of the school district not to allow the pro-Islam assembly, but did so anyway.

I wonder what the ACLU would have to say if the assembly was saying that "Jesus is God", "Jesus is the only way to Eternal Life", "God is Trinitarian", ect...

Something tells me there would be shouts of bloody murder.

Marriage protection initiative qualifies for CA ballot

An initiative that would again protect traditional marriage in California has qualified for the November ballot, the Secretary of State announced Monday.

California Secretary of State Debra Bowen said a random check of signatures submitted by the measure's sponsors showed that they had gathered enough names for it to be put to voters.

The measure would amend the state constitution to "provide that only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California."

What is a Speical?

Spains seizes treasure ship

Link

On Tuesday, patrol boats from Spain's maritime police intercepted the 76m Odyssey Explorer, owned by underwater salvage firm Odyssey Marine International, three miles off the coast of Gibraltar. It was ordered to the Spanish port of Algeciras for inspection.

Spain's Guardia Civil has been keeping a close eye on the company's vessel since a Spanish judge ordered that it be detained and searched if it left port in Gibraltar.

The company says its recovery vessel has been effectively blockaded since the ruling in June. Spain believes it could provide clues to the identity and location of the wreck that yielded half-a-million colonial era silver and gold coins.

It suspects that a Spanish galleon is being secretly plundered - or that the wreck lies in Spanish waters.

Odyssey Marine Explorations - which became the most famous deep water treasure hunting company when it announced the discovery last May - says it is keeping the location of the wreck secret, to protect the site from looters.

All it is saying is that the wreck - codenamed Black Swan - is somewhere in the Atlantic.

And in Spain, Odyssey's activities have been painted as modern-day piracy.

That's funny. I wonder how the Aztecs and Incas thought of their gold being stolen from them centuries ago and taken on this and other ships. As well as their land, cities, and nations being destroyed so the Spaniards could claim the land. Oh and then there's the little thing of massacring the natives.

Christian schools ransacked in India by Hindus

Link

"Missionary schools declare holidays during Western festivals, but they don't respect Hindu festivals,” commented Kishore Kothari, leader of Dharma Sena (Religion Army), a Hindu fundamentalist group supported by the VHP.

“If my son goes to school on 'Pitramoksha Day,' how can he learn our traditional rituals?" he asked the local Indian Express.

Call me crazy but... If you want him to learn traditional rituals, then I guess you shouldn't send him to a Christian school. You should send him to a Hindu school.

Kothari further warned that "[i]f missionary school managements don't mend their attitude, more protests will take place,"

Do it our way or else? This sounds familiar.

Warner Brothers will have no more films with female leads

Link

Warner Bros president of production Jeff Robinov who Finke quotes (through three sources) as saying: "We are no longer doing movies with women in the lead." Finke said that Robinov's sentiment/statement was confirmed by three producers.

As Finke points out, Waren Bros. films with female leads have underperformed in the market of late, but that, Finke said, is something that has many factors, and is not solely due to the female leads.

So none of the films with female leads ever does well? And how about the many flops with male leads? Are we going to see WB abandon those as well?

Did...

all fail? Although I have no idea if WB released them or not. But regardless I thought those three films were hits. I could of course be wrong on that.

Protestant countries have higher employment rate

Link

Protestant countries have higher employment rates than non-Protestant ones, a new study found.

The United States, the United Kingdom and Nordic countries such as Denmark, Sweden and Norway, where Protestantism is the main religion, have employment rates that are as much as six percentage points higher than countries where other religions are largely practiced.

Researchers at the University of Bath in the United Kingdom say the most likely reason for this is the Protestant virtue of hard work.

"In its early days, Protestantism promoted the virtue of hard and diligent work amongst its adherents, who judged one another by conformity to this standard," said Dr. Feldmann, a lecturer in the University’s Department of Economics & International Development.

“Originally, an intense devotion to one’s work was meant to assure oneself that one was predestined for salvation," he explained. "Although the belief in predestination did not last more than a generation or two after the Reformation, the effect on work ethics continued."

The study, based on data from 80 countries, also showed that female employment rates are about 11 percent higher in Protestant countries.

Add that to the Christian countries enjoy more religious freedoms.

Conservative Episcopalians to form new Conservative group

Link

Tired of fighting a losing cause, conservative Episcopalians have agreed to form a new group. It includes many churches that either have fled or are in the process of fleeing the liberal dominated Episcopal Church. It includes the CANA group of churches led by the Nigerian Anglican Bishop.

The founders are a mix of groups with varying ties to the Episcopal Church and the world Anglican Communion. Among the members will be Episcopal dioceses and parishes that have broken away or plan to split from the national church, congregations that have never been part of the Episcopal Church and fellowships that are considered schismatic by the Anglican Communion.

Bishop Duncan said that forming a separate North American church structure for conservatives is "necessary because of the drift of the church in the West."

Orwellian Chicago

Link

A car circles a high-rise three times. Someone leaves a backpack in a park.

Such things go unnoticed in big cities every day. But that could change in Chicago with a new video surveillance system that would recognize such anomalies and alert authorities to take a closer look.

On Thursday, the city and IBM Corp. are announcing the initial phase of what officials say could be the most advanced video security network in any U.S. city. The City of Broad Shoulders is getting eyes in the back of its head.

"Chicago is really light years ahead of any metropolitan area in the U.S. now," said Sam Docknevich, who heads video-surveillance consulting for IBM.

Back when I was working in sales, I'd go around the block about eight times looking for the exact address. With people on your bumper, people walking in front of the car, and cars slamming on their brakes in front of you, it isn't always easy to find the exact address. They're nuts if they're going to check on someone simply because they circled the block three times.

Unemployment applications drop unexpectedly

Link

The number of laid-off workers filing claims for unemployment benefits fell to the lowest level in seven weeks, an unexpected sign of improvement for the jobs market.

The Labor Department reported Thursday that new applications for unemployment benefits totaled 311,000 last week, a drop of 9,000 from the previous week. It marked the lowest level for jobless claims since July 28.

The decline came as a surprise for economists who had been forecasting a rise in claims of around 6,000.

Perhaps its because some people, like me, have no idea how to apply for unemployment or welfare benefits. Or perhaps its because businesses, like the one I used to work for, threaten to take people to court to fight the unemployment claims and argue that the claimees weren't doing their jobs and failed to meet benchmarks. It didn't matter how hard someone worked, they still were lazy bums when it came to unemployment court fights.

Peters Creek Church votes to leave PCUSA

Link

At a standing room only church service this morning, the congregation of Peters Creek Presbyterian Church voted 273-86 to be dismissed from the Presbyterian Church (USA) into the Evangelical Presbyterian Church.

Thats a 76% majority if my math is right. I think if it hadn't been 75% the church would have faced the administrative committee taking over the congregation. So that was a close vote.

Here's an odd photo to article combination

The article is about former ISraelii PM Sharon and his unchanged condition since suffering a stroke 2 years ago. And we have a photo of Rice in her typical snarling at anyone nearby pose.

I wonder if he had not had the stroke and was still PM if the Palestinian-Israel battleground would be better or worse. I personally don't think giving land for "peace" will work since the more you give, the more they'll want.

Florida Democrats to be left out of Democrat Primary

Link

Florida Democrats would forfeit their votes in selecting a presidential nominee unless they delay their state election by at least a week, the national party said in a stern action Saturday meant to discourage others from leapfrogging ahead to earlier dates.

The Florida party has 30 days to submit an alternative to its planned Jan. 29 primary or lose its 210 delegates to the nominating convention in Denver next summer.

Isn't that great? I wonder if Flordians will remember this for the general election.

Party rules say states cannot hold their 2008 primary contests before Feb. 5, except for Iowa on Jan. 14, Nevada on Jan. 19, New Hampshire on Jan. 22 and South Carolina on Jan. 29.

So basically the national Democratic party likes to discriminate with stupid rules? My suggestion would be for the national Democratic party to run its own elections, pay for their own polling machines, and set their own date. Otherwise shut up and let the people paying for the election make up their own minds when to hold it.

Sometimes I wonder

Link

In Iraq there was a largescale attack by the Sunni militia on a group called the Yazidis. When it was over, 250 Yazidis were killed in multiple truck bombs. The Post Gazette has an editorial on it. In the editorial it mentions,

The Yazidis are a largely peaceful religious minority, concentrated in the Kurdish north of Iraq, an area that since 2003 has been less troubled by attacks than the rest of the country.

Ok that makes the attack all the worse.

But then it mentions a little further:

The Yazidis recently quarreled with the Sunnis, who killed 23 Yazidi men after Yazidis had stoned to death a woman who had a relationship with a Sunni man.

I for one have trouble labeling any group peaceful that would stone a woman for dating someone. Now if the Yazidis largely condemned the stoning, then ok. But if they didn't utter a single protest then I'm afraid they don't qualify as peaceful.

Just saw on KDKA my Alma Mater has a Problem

Geneva College is overflowing with people that want to attend. They now have a waiting list for those that want to attend but the college doesn't have room for. What a great problem for a great college to have.

In my perfect world scenario, I would be hired at Geneva to teach Biblical Studies someday.

Egyptian Doctor and Christian finally freed from Saudi Arabia

Link

One of our so called allies in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia, has been holding a Christian doctor hostage because he would not convert to Islam after Muslims coworkers pressured him to do so. He finally said he was a Christian and wouldn't be converting. So he was taunted and accused of being a missionary and held for 6 months.

Unfortunately, he returns to Egypt which is just about as hostile to Christians as Saudi Arabia. Presently there is a court case being heard from someone that wants to convert to Christianity but the government won't allow him. The public response has been to call for his death. How these two countries can be allies to the United States is beyond be. Both are at the top of list of abusers of freedoms.

Neither country should receive a dime in aid from the United States.

VA Episcopal Bishop fires Priests who already resigned and joined the CANA

Link

The wonderful Bishop Peter James Lee, of the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia, "depose[d] clergy who were barred in January from performing priestly duties in the diocese. The clergy, however, have already quit, noted Jim Oakes, vice chairman of the Anglican District of Virginia (ADV) - an association of conservative Anglican congregations."

Congregations from 15 churches voted overwhelmingly in December to sever ties with The Episcopal Church, citing the denomination's departure from Anglican tradition and Christian orthodoxy. They essentially removed themselves from the Episcopal ministry and placed themselves under the authority of the Church of Nigeria.

Maybe next week the Pope can excommunicate the breakaway priests.

Ex-Terrorist Thoughts on Terrorism and Islam

Link

“I remember how we used to laugh whenever people on TV proclaimed that the cause for Islamic acts of terror like 9/11, the Madrid bombing, and 7/7, was Western foreign policy. What this does is help to draw away any critical examination from the real engine of our violence: Islamic theology.”

“Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all MidEast terrorists are certain to be Muslims. So if Islam produces them, then Islam is the problem."

“By refusing to challenge centuries-old theological arguments, the tensions between Islamic theology and the modern world grow larger every day.”

La. bans Partial Birth Abortion

Link

"Under the Louisiana legislation, doctors face fines of between $1,000 and $10,000, and jail terms of between one and 10 years."

I like how "planned parenthood" campaigned against this in legislative chambers and "only a handful of legislators voted against the bill." Its about time someone stood up to these lobbyists. A late term abortion like this fails under planned parenthood. If it was because of an unplanned pregnancy, the woman should have aborted way before this late in the pregnancy.

In addition to this, "the Democratic governor on Monday signed legislation requiring that all women seeking an abortion be notified that fetuses can feel pain by 20 weeks gestation, and doctors who perform the procedure to discuss the availability of painkillers for fetuses."

California Churches may go to the CA Supreme Court

Link

A CA court has reversed an earlier decision that gave the congregation control of its church and declared that the church property belongs to the diocese of LA of the Episcopal Church.

Nice to see the court system is so full of justice. So a local group of people can buy property, build a church, and ally themselves with a denomination. Find out that they don't like the denomination and breakaway and have the courts decide the buildings belong to the denomination even though it was paid for locally.

What great justice.

Former City Councilwoman of Southern California could be deported

Link
A woman who believed she was an American citizen because she's been in the country since she was one years old could be deported because she voted. She ran and won a seat on city council and all was fine until someone revealed that she was born in Cuba.

Because of this, she was never a citizen so she resigned. Then she was charged with illegal voting because as a noncitizen she cannot vote. She pleaded guilty and paid fines. But illegal voting is a deportable offense so now she's possibly going to be deported to Canada which was her last recorded entry point.

This is beyond ridiculous.

She is a legal resident but not a citizen but because she voted she's going to be possibly deported for something she didn't even know she wasn't a citizen. All because someone apparently didn't like the job she was doing on city council. They should be real proud. As should every official who has a hand in this entire fiasco.

Salman Rushdie to be knighted

Link

Salman Rushdie is to be given the honor of being knighted. He authored the book The Satanic Verses and has been under a Muslim Fatwa that called for Muslims to kill him because the book insulted Islam.

A lot of things seem to insult Islam as far as Muslims are concerned. You can't criticise Mohammed who acknowledged that he was just a man and prophet. But its perfectly fine for Islam to consider Jesus, who proclaimed himself the Son of God and God, as simply a prophet. So its not alright for Christians and others to question the Islamic prophet but its perfectly acceptable for Islam to show no respect to Christianity's God.

Its a nice double standard.

And its also nice seeing the peaceful Muslims chanting for the death of Rushdie and death of the Queen. Islam is a religion of Peace after all. Muslims say it is or else.

Democrats expect gains in 08

Link

Democrats believe that they are going to see the same type of voter reaction that they saw in 06. A recent poll found Democrats in the lead by 9%.

The only thing this causes for me is I wish there was a third party that could actually do something. I've never had two blog political polls score me so accurately as the last two from the other day. I hate the Left and the Right of politics pretty much equally. I'm a Democrat but a Conservative one. I don't care for these Liberal laws like banning transfat and smoking. I can't stand Nancy Peloski, I don't care much for Hillary Clinton(but I did like Bill Clinton), and there's not a single politican currently in Washington that I hope stays there.

In fact there's only one politician that I happen to like presently. And that's Republican James Marshall my PA State House Representative. (And the reason I like him is he actually responds when emailed plus he agreed with me on the issue I emailed him about which always helps. Not one other supposed representative has ever responded to me)

Carter Criticizes West Over Handling of Palestinians

Link

As my earlier comments on this would indicate, I think Carter is being incredibly stupid on this issue. Hamas attacked Fatah who was their partner in that government. Their attacking was pretty much their resignation. Only thing is, it was a resignation with a whole lot of blood on it.

All Hamas had to do for aid that the West voluntarily gives was to acknowledge Israel has the right to exist. They wouldn't do it.

Hamas claims US, EU, and Israel are blackmailing the Palestinians

Link

Because they are freeing the money that has been withheld since Hamas entered the government and are giving it to Abbas. Also the West is evil because its been trying to remove Hamas since it came to power.

I guess when it gets right down to it, the West actually owes the Palestinians this aid. After all we should just blindly give money to people that show no gratitude, threaten terrorists acts, and loudly proclaim their hatred for the west.

And then we are supporting the "illegitimate" government of Abbas instead of the freely elected terrorist regime. Yes they were freely elected and Gaza has the government they presently deserve. But Hamas ended this elected government by attacking their government partners with arms.

But the fact that Hamas doesn't see it that way is not surprising. After all they think that the Arabs should be allowed to attack Israel without any repercussions. They attacked Israel, Israel won and took more land. They should be happy they're even still alive.

Hamasistan and Fatahistan

Apparently, Hamas would like you to believe that it was forced to take over Gaza yesterday and today.

In addition to being forced to take over Gaza, Hamas says it won't accept any foreign peace keeping troops including Arab troops. So basically its stay out we need to do some more cleaning like throwing people off roofs, marching them through streets and then shooting them execution style. Oh and also the always respectable looting by the mob.

And then there's the after killing all these Fatah people, Hamas offers all the survivors amnesty. I can see it now: Ok everyone who escaped us, it is now safe to show yourselves. Come on you can trust us. No more throwing people off of roofs.

And so Hamas attacks Fatah and kills all these Fatah people and then cries foul when Abbas dissolves the government. I mean what exactly did they think was going to happen. Oh its ok for you to attack and kill all these people who support us and we'll just keep governing with you as partners.

And of course there's people online who want to blame the United States for this. We should have been focused on Palestine instead of Iraq they claim. Well call me silly but I think we should be focused on the United States.

And one person on one of the Jerusalem Post articles took issue when the US State department calling these terrorist the militant wing of Hamas. They claim that its actually the army of Palestine since Hamas was in charge and so these militants are the same thing as the US army. Nope. Not even close. It would be the same thing if the Republican Party had their own armed militia and was using it as an army. But the U.S Army is not aligned with political parties. It represents the United States irregardless of politics.

The other object of ire of some people is Israel. Somehow this is all Israel's fault that these people won't get along. After all there's nothing about the Middle East that suggests that these people just don't get along. Its not like they have been killing each other for over 1200 years over all these same issues. Or maybe I should say 3200 or more years.

And the sad thing is... there's probably people who I debated with during the Hezbollah-Israel war that think Hamas is really heroes. After all they thought that of Hezbollah. I can't tell because it was in a private club that I no longer am a member of.

Judge tells man he cannot have a girlfriend for three years

Succession?

Yahoo has an interesting story on successionists in Vermont. Apparently support for succession has risen from 8% to 13% of the populations. They claim the United States has become an empire and to large to successfully govern.

I can certainly understand the desire to be free from the federal govermnet. However, I doubt Vermont could survive on its own. Perhaps they could join Canada instead of forming the Second Republic of Vermont. The first one lasted from 1777-1791.

Administration Rebukes Putin on His Policies

Link

"A top Russia expert at the State Department issued an unusually sharp public criticism on Thursday of Moscow’s behavior under President Vladimir V. Putin, describing the Kremlin as bullying its neighbors while silencing political opponents and suppressing individual rights at home."

And so proclaiming that a Democrat will be weak on terror, and sending protesters twenty blocks away into a protest zone, and listening in on calls isn't silencing opponents and suppressing individual rights? Pot meet kettle.

Oh the hypocracy is amazing sometimes.

All this because Putin has decided to follow the same policies that led to the downfall of the Soviet Union and have an arms race with the United States. I believe one of the definitions of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again in the same way and expecting a different result despite getting the same.

After he's done bankrupting his country, maybe the people will throw him out and get a real leader next time. I can't believe after all the work Yeltsin did Russia is going back to the Soviet ways.
