I wonder if this was in Scotland?

Anne Frank started her diary on June 12, 1942.

Her last entry was on August 1, 1944.

What budget deficit?

Connecticut is in the red by over 3 billion dollars for each of the next two years. I guess for some that smoking hole isn't big enough or deep enough:

Fight for 'public option' goes on, Donovan tells SustiNet rally

A week after lawmakers reached a compromise that leaves SustiNet backers short of their goals, leaders of the push for the proposed state-run health http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifplan told supporters that the fight isn't over.

House Speaker Christopher G. Donovan, one party to the compromise, told the crowd that their goals would be achieved.

"We're going to open up the [state employee health insurance] pool to cities and towns and eventually, small businesses," the Meriden Democrat told hundreds of SustiNet supporters who filled Hartford's Union Station Wednesday evening. "We're going to create that public option in Connecticut so that everybody can afford health care."

SustiNet is the proposed Connecticut version of ObamaCare/RomneyCare. The name is taken from the Connecticut state motto: Qui Transtulit Sustinet, variously translated as "He who transplants still sustains" or "He who transplanted still sustains". Like ObamaCare proponents of the plan like to double count savings. At the same link we learn that SustiNet claims additional state revenue because they forecast some state residents would lose their employer provided health care coverage should the plan pass. Typical, the additional 'revenue' is counted, but the additional cost of higher enrollment is not.

If you live in Connecticut and this boondoggle passes, do yourself a favor and transplant...

I wouldn't jump in this pool either... looks like it hasn't seen chlorine in months...

But this dog didn't give up:

Massacre in Samaria

A home invasion and mass murder in Israel. In Connecticut we just put a man on death row for participating in a similarly evil attack in 2007. One small difference... Gazans weren't celebrating when they found out a woman and her two daughters had been murdered.



Gruesome video. And yes, I didn't give a 'content warning'. How much warning did the 12 year old girl have when she came home to see most of her family slaughtered in their sleep?

Let the Gazans continue to eat their young; let the West Bank turn the clock back 10,000 years. These animals are not partners in peace, so let them be in pieces.

Arab TV's Greatest Hits

Modern, 21st century people still promulgating the real Blood Libel... not to mention that these speakers reinforce the idea that the Koran commands Muslims to hate the Jew and consider him the enemy.
