Have a Seat
Well sometimes the extent some governments will go to save us from ourselves just baffles the mind…
At a county council meeting Monday, the Left Party, or Vänsterpartiet, tabled a motion that would require office washrooms to be genderless with a sit-down-only requirement,
Yep they want to yank out all the urinals, replace them with stalls, and make you sit down to pea. Using the force of law….
For men who might refuse to comply, party representatives suggested a separate set of toilets clearly labeled for stand-up urination only
Um that’s a urinal, It doesn’t need to be labeled.
Why is this worthy of a new government mandate, who would even think this necessary?
Vänsterpartiet, known as a socialist and feminist organization, believes seated urination is healthier for men and more hygienic for both sexes.
Oh yea, I should have guessed. On the plus side it is for our own good…
Party speakers cited medical research they said shows men empty their bladders more efficiently while seated. Improved bladder evacuation reduces the risk for prostate problems,
I can’t believe that any government would what to get that involved in the lives of it’s people,
Viggo Hansen, a substitute council member who authored the motion, told Sveriges Television that that the move does not represent an attempt to meddle in the bathroom habits of citizens.
Oh well if you say so…
"That's not what we're doing. We want to give men the option of going into a clean toilet,"
Really, have you ever gone to a public restroom where men don’t have a urinal to use, it’s not pretty.

2 wolves and a sheep, expanded.
The old saying goes like this:
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for dinner
I figure it needed a little expansion, just for fun
Dictatorship is 1 wolf deciding which sheep to have for dinner
Communism is 10 wolves telling 1000 sheep being dinner is good for them
Socialism is 10 wolves convincing 1000 sheep that being dinner is good for them
A Representative Republic is the sheep voting on whether to build a fence or hire more sheep dogs.

Update: Added the line about communism, it was meant to be there all along.

The Feud is over
With the sad loss of Richard Dawson today from cancer
"I never dreamed I would have a job in which so many people could touch me and I could touch them.”

And the darkness comprehended it not
Around the world people remember those who fought to preserve our freedoms…
These words can be found on a shrine in Victoria Australia
LET ALL MEN KNOW THAT THIS IS HOLY GROUND. THIS SHRINE, ESTABLISHED IN THE HEARTS OF MEN AS ON THE SOLID EARTH, COMMEMORATES A PEOPLE’S FORTITUDE AND SACRIFICE. YE THEREFORE THAT COME AFTER, GIVE REMEMBRANCE.
Some would rather forget…

Simple
This shows the really big difference between these two guys.
George W. Bush speech after capture of Saddam Hussein:
The success of yesterday's mission is a tribute to our men and women now serving in Iraq . The operation was based on the superb work of intelligence analysts who found the Dictator’s footprints in a vast country. The operation was carried out with skill and precision by a brave fighting force. Our servicemen and women and our coalition allies have faced many dangers in the hunt for members of the fallen regime, and in their effort to bring hope and freedom to the Iraqi people. Their work continues, and so do the risks. Today, on behalf of the nation, I thank the members of our Armed Forces and I congratulate them.
Barack Hussein Obama speech, Sunday, May 1, 2011:
And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority of our war against al Qaeda, even as I continued our broader efforts to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat his network. Then, last August, after years of painstaking work by my intelligence community, I was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden. It was far from certain, and it took many months to run this thread to ground. I met repeatedly with my national security team as we developed more information about the possibility that we had located bin Laden hiding within a compound deep inside of Pakistan . And finally, last week, I determined that I had enough intelligence to take action, and authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice. Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad , Pakistan .

Happy Anniversary
I almost forgot today is my 5th year here at Blogspot, man but the time did fly.
a quick look at some of my past favorites
2007
There was a time when all my pictures were on film, I even dabbled in developing my own for a bit
The anti-war movement was a major focus of my blog, but not in the way you may think from a child of the 60s
2008
Three words; Mary, Katherine, Ham!
2009
Film was a bit spendy and I ran out of prints to post so I went digital.
I wasn’t very good at taking new pictures every single week but I still needed something to to post on my Sundays, and so I went to my second love, Music
2010
I had big dreams, just no one to grant them….
This was also the year I discovered Seattle Living Room Shows
2011
Did I mention I dream big?
2012
For the last few months I’ve turned off my TV and ended the source of much of my political material, but I do manage to find a few juicy bits.

even if I have to lift them from others… (with proper credit of course)

I didn’t know that
But really today has nothing to do with eggs and rabbits today is all about an empty tomb
The gift of grace and the promise of eternal life
