Easter in San Diego

Went with the family and the dogs to the beach. Had a great time in near perfect weather. This is a great place to live still. Hope you all had a good Easter. I think about our fighting men and women in harms way abroad and hope they keep their heads down, their powder dry and know that we over here appreciate every iota of energy and gratitude that we heap upon them for allowing us the privilege to be in this great country.

A weak President that acts weakly...

It seems that the White House is either not discussing the hostage situation with the Somali pirates and Capt. Richard Phillips because they are planning some sort of covert action or they are paralyzed by their inherent weakness which leads one to think they are legitimately incompetent to deal with this type of situation given the resources within Mr. Obama's reach. The captain is obviously a hero for trading himself for his crew members and I understand that they are either still in debriefing by the FBI or are done.

What amazes me is that we have navy warships at the scene and when the captain made his unsuccessful escape it would have been a good time at that moment to open fire and destroy the pirates, but it looks like the situation didn't present itself to take that kind of action or they are under a no fire order. How is it that these pirates are not afraid of the most powerful navy in the world? Have we become so hobbled as a nation under the order of liberalism and leftism that we can't even send our most powerful arsenals not to mention the men and women trained for this very thing against a rag-tag fleet of 8th world sub-humans?

Edit: 4/12/09

Looks like the Captain has been rescued. No word on whether it was an overt or covert operation. I really don't care either way, just as long as he is safe and sound. The guy is a hero and needs to be treated as such. However, it would be interesting to know the details of his rescue. That stuff fascinates me either way. Unfortunately, I think the longer lasting damage of the presidents perceived hesitation has already been done. Expect more American piracy hostages in the future.

U.N. agrees to language that condemns NK's rocket launch...

and nothing happens. So let me get this straight, again. This body called the UN comes together to draft language in a carefully and specifically worded way to condemn the DPRK or NK as most people know it launching it's 'Satellite' last week. Wow, can you feel the tremble of such ominous and odious wordsmithing? Can you see Kim Jong Il running around and freaking out at the prospect that the UN is getting together to tell him whatfore? When will this nonsense stop? When will we as a country stand up this sanctimonious, money-sucking, US supported, non-entity and say enough is enough? What will this language do? It won't do anything. This is like watching Neville Chamberlain times a billion.

We give this little crazy midget billions of dollars of American money, American food, even American oil in backroom deals to get them to stop having nuclear weapons aspirations and time and time again they just agree and capitulate while they had the dagger behind their back. When everyone goes home feeling shiny, happy, and fresh about having just averted disaster, this crazy midget turns on his weapons development again and our leaders look mystified and confused as to how this could possibly be happening. Can we just kill him already, liberate this country once and for all or stop dealing with them. Between China and Russia giving them whatever they want, then why the hell are we even bothering. So frustrating to watch Marxist ideology goosestep it's way across the globe only to have it voted into office in this country by 52.6%.

What is wrong with this woman?

I was perusing Youtube earlier today and just happened upon this wierd video of Hillary Clinton, The worlds most upwardly mobile politician, and she starts talking about piracy. However, the way she is talking about it gives the impression that she was just briefed on it, had no clue what piracy was outside of watching Johnny Depp as one, and then starts chuckling about it.

Why the chuckling? Is it nervous or courtesy laughter? Is it because you sound like an ambigious meaning moron? What? What is wrong with you Mrs. Clinton?

You decide. I have no idea what is going on in the vacuum of space between her ears. How this woman has to power and prominence with the dark cloud of suspicions and antipathy towards her is beyond me.

It's official. It wasn't a bow. Really? You sure?

In a complete refutation against reality, the White House has issued, in Obi Wan Kenobi like fashion that The President of the United States or POTUS did not bow to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, but actually bent over because the King of the House of Saud is shorter than our illustrious leader.

To wit, from the Politico, an anonymous Obama insider is quoted as saying:

"It wasn't a bow. He grasped his hand with two hands, and he's taller than King Abdullah."

Here. You be the judge. The money shot is at 0:53.

Really? Are you sure? I mean, did this anonymous insider look at the body posture of the POTUS when he made his non-bow? You don't stick your leg out behind you when you just want to bend over and talk to a shorter dictator, do you? Look, you an clearly see that it's a bow. His body posture is clear. His thrust out right leg is very clear. Whether he intended to do it or not as a sign of courtesy or not, the message to the rest of the world is clear. Muslims are going to use this throughout their media outlets as a sign of American supplication and prostration to Islam. The fringe kooks are going to make the claim that Mr. Barely is a stealth muslim. This was a stupid thing to do. Actually, it was an incompetent thing to do.

This type of excuse just reminds me of Obi Wan Kenobi's Jedi Mind Trick in Star Wars. In all seriousness. Who do these people think they are? It's a bow, ok? Just admit it and move on. But oh no, you can't do that anonymous source person. You've just fanned the flames of Mr. Barely bowing to a King and a viscious dictator of a malformed Islamic state into the oncoming news cycles instead of letting die.

Whoever you are, anonymous source, you should be fired for your stupidity and apparent incompetence. But is that asking to much? Afterall, it seems that incompetence runs rampant in this administration. Fumbling, stumbling, prostrating, apologizing, and bowing. All in less than 100 days. And the caravan rolls on. Dear God.

Well, I'm getting into the swing of things...

After a very very very very long haitus I think I been able to develop the necessary time to make this blog a somewhat dust bunny corner of the intertubes. A whole lot of things have changed with blogger, so i will be a little busy getting into the backroom dealing with fitting this blog to my tastes, so if you start seeing some weirdo changes, just bear with me because I'm to do some expirmentation. If you have anything to add or would like to see, then let me know.

Weird, I feel nervous. Tee-hee.

Oh, the irony...

I realize that the name of this blog is the busy bee blog, but I haven't been a very busy bee on the blog. Sorry, but life has been a little more hectic than usual and my ability to blog has been hampered by it. I really want to keep this up and I will, but this has been a little more than I can handle, so the priority to do it just isn't there. But it will be, I assure you. Please stay with me if you can and take care if you can't. My busy beeness will be back.
