         <title>Letter to Obama - You Scare Me</title>

Bush, leftists warned us that Bush was a fascist dictator intent only on building up power for his Nazi takeover of America;  in addition, leftists constantly whined that we should be sending more of our troops to Afghanistan where our true enemy can be found, not to Iraq.</p></p>

<p>Three things have happened now that the deep left is in power: <ol><br />
<li>Leftists are no longer worried about the government grabbing power and eroding freedoms, when in fact we are facing the largest government takeover of private enterprises.</li><br />
<li>Leftists' laced pink panties are in a twist because some Conservative groups are alleged to have flung the label 'Nazi' at President Obama and his administration.  Indeed, how could any decent person compare an American President to a Nazi?</li><br />
<li>Leftists, including our President, are scratching their heads wondering whether we should be sending more troops to Afghanistan at all.</li></ol></p>

<p>Ah, how the tide has turned.<br clear="all" /></p>]]></description>

         <title>Difference Between Jewish And Muslim Terrorists</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="float:left;color:darkgreen;font-size:80px;line-height:64px;padding-top:1px;padding-right:5px;font-family:times;">J</span>ews are like everyone else but it is still a surprise to read that once in a while they actually commit murder.  Find details in the note <a href="#fn1" name="_fn1" >(1)</a> below, but the summary is as follows:  A Jewish settler has been charged in Israel with murdering two Palestinians and attacking left-wing Israeli, gay and messianic Jewish targets.</p>

<p>This is of course newsworthy because of its rarity: Jews are among the smallest number of violent criminals all over the world.  If the Jewish population of a country is 1% then you can take it to the bank that less than 1/10th that many are in that country's prison population.</p>]]></description>

         <title>Testing For Extreme Conditions</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="float:left;color:darkgreen;font-size:80px;line-height:64px;padding-top:1px;padding-right:5px;font-family:times;">O</span>ne of the most important parts of debugging a software program is to test the limits of input.  Making sure the program doesn't crash if you enter zero or one million instead of your real age; that is, testing for the limits of input at the extremes.</p>

<p>When I got married in 1975 I was only programming for a few months and so when my wife and I rented our first apartment I didn't think about testing for extremes.  Let me explain:  We looked at the apartment in the late afternoon and it seemed like a nice place.  The neighborhood was quiet and so we paid our deposit and signed the lease.</p>

<p>A few days later on a cloudless evening, we moved in.  After a few hours of arranging the furniture we plopped ourselves into bed and closed our eyes for blessed, peaceful sleep.  Then they started.  The noises.  First came the heavy trucks heading for New York.  There was a small depression right in front of the house and every time a truck went over it, there was a huge boom.  Then every ten minutes there was the rattling of wood planks as cars crossed the overpass on the side of our house.  Every few hours a train would rumble by behind us.  If you have ever seen the film <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0028ZDJFS?ie=UTF8&tag=plancksconsta-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0028ZDJFS">My Cousin Vinny [Blu-ray]</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=plancksconsta-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0028ZDJFS" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, you'll have some idea of what went on.</p>]]></description>

         <title>America Does not Steal Oil</title>

He knows this because it has been discussed and verified in many black barbershops across the country [article: <a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2007/09/mos_def_is_an_idiot.html">Mos Def is an Idiot</a>].</p></p>

<p>Joining him in his stupidity are other Muslims and liberal idiots who repeat the same old, tired trites such as "No Blood for Oil" and "The West is stealing the resources of Arabs and Muslims".  Readers who view my comment section have often come upon comments that accuse America of attacking Muslim countries for their oil.  One goat-herder even left a comment <a href="#fn1" name="_fn1" >(1)</a> accusing George Bush of sending troops to Afghanistan to steal its gold and oil!  Yeah, like Afghanistan has anything to export other than camel dung and opium.</p>

<p>Hey, what about Iraq?  Yeah, what about it?  Where is all the free oil we were supposed to be stealing according to leftist anti-war protesters?  Did I go Rip Van Winkle for the past few decades or are we still buying oil from Venezuela, Canada, Norway, Russia, etc?  If the planet hasn't run out of oil except for Iraq, then why would we even bother wasting one bullet on a Muslim ass to get their oil?  Saddam would have gladly sold us oil if we simply asked.  Isn't it cheaper to simply buy it without spending ten billion dollars a month wasting American lives in a gigantic war?<br clear="all" /></p>]]></description>

<p>The  Intelligence Squared  Debate aired 7 Nov 2009 on BBC World.  The question: Is the Catholic church a force for good in the world?</p>

<p>"It stands up for the oppressed and offers spiritual succour to billions say the Church's supporters. But what about the Church's teachings on condoms, gays and women priests, ask the detractors."</p>

<p>Speaking for the motion, Archbishop John Onaiyekan and Ann Widdencombe MP.  Speaking against the motion, Christopher Hitchens and Stephen Fry. </p>

         <title>If Universal Health Care is So Good</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><br /><div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/iamges/sub3/carac.jpg"  ><img src="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/iamges/sub3/caracsm.jpg" alt="Unusual car accident - zoomed in" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wheatfields/535657040/">Unusual car accident - zoomed in</a><br />Photo by: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/wheatfields/">net_efekt</a></span></div><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="float:left;color:darkgreen;font-size:80px;line-height:64px;padding-top:1px;padding-right:5px;font-family:times;">I</span>f Universal Health Care is such a good deal, why haven't we instituted Universal Car Care?</p></p>

<p>Here is how it would work: it was estimated in 2007 that 24% of drivers did not carry the state minimum liability limits required by law - which figure rises significantly during economic downturns.  In some areas of the country, it is estimated that 1 out of every 3 drivers don't carry insurance [<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_insurance#United_States">Wiki</a>].  This is even worse than the percentage that do not have health insurance.</p>

<p>I propose that every man woman and child old enough to drive in their state be required to buy car insurance.  Violators would be fined and or jailed.  Those that cannot afford it would be able to apply for government handouts.<br clear="all" /></p>]]></description>

<p>I believe that is true.  We cannot condemn an entire religion for the actions of one man or a small group of ten thousand or even a few hundred thousand.</p>

<p>Just because Hasan was a Muslim first and an American soldier second does not mean we should speculate that perhaps most Muslims think of themselves as Muslims first and citizens of their country second.</p>

<p>We recall the <a href="http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/archives/hundreds_of_cars_on_fire_in_paris_riots/">worst civil war in France's history</a> a few years ago by thousands of Muslims who, though born and bred in France, have nothing but contempt and hatred for their native country and who pay allegiance only to the Muslim umma.  It should be noted that the French army was not called in to quell the riots because too many soldiers were Muslim (15%) and could not be trusted to shoot only at the rioters.  We cannot blame the whole of Islam on the actions of a paltry tens of thousands of Muslims.<br clear="all" /></p>]]></description>

         <title>Is the Quran Based on the Bible?</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><br /><div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/iamges/sub3/qb.jpg"  ><img src="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/iamges/sub3/qbsm.jpg" alt="Quran Bible" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/22634863@N05/3820541175/">Quran Bible</a><br />Photo by: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/22634863@N05/">atemporelspirit</a></span></div><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="float:left;color:darkgreen;font-size:80px;line-height:64px;padding-top:1px;padding-right:5px;font-family:times;">M</span>uslims would like infidels to accept two mutually exclusive notions:  one, that Islam is a sister religion to Christianity and Judaism because the Quran is based on the Torah and the Gospels;  and two, that the Torah and the Gospels that exist today are corruptions of the original holy texts.</p></p>

<p>Among themselves, Muslims say that the Quran is based on the original, pure, unadulterated "Tawrat" (Torah) and on the original, pure, unadulterated "Injeel" (Gospel), original text portions of which can be found in the Quran today, but original, uncorrupted versions of which are no longer extant.</p>

<p>So when Muslims want Christians or Jews to convert, they point out that Islam is just an extension, a natural progression, a fulfillment of the Bible.  Non-Muslims are informed that Muslims believe in the same prophets, Abraham, Moses and Jesus, that the Quran is the final installment of God's Word as revealed in the older holy books. </p>

<p>Thus the deception: to the People of the Book (as Jews and Christians are called), Islam is presented as just another Abrahamic faith that shares their common values and spiritual traditions and that recognizes their Holy Books.  Among themselves, Muslims see the People of the Book as poor deluded souls who believe in vile, corrupt, miscreant and unholy texts and who must, in the end, be either persuaded to see things the Muslim way or be subjugate and pay a tax.<br clear="all" /></p>]]></description>

Beth displayed before and after botched plastic surgery photos of Mickey Rourke, Kate Jackson, and the master of the overdone, Michael Jackson.

<p>Sadly, some celebrities are not happy with their faces, and decide to tamper with nature.  Here are some horrible transmogrifications of once beautiful stars that I suspect were done by plastic surgeries gone bad.  If I'm wrong, and they turned into ogres naturally, then I apologize for my bad assumptions.</p>

<h2>Kathleen Turner</h2>

<p>What did she do to her nose?</p>

         <title>Why the Olympic Committee Chose Rio over Chicago</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="float:left;color:darkgreen;font-size:80px;line-height:64px;padding-top:1px;padding-right:5px;font-family:times;">A</span> number of readers emailed me suggestions on why the International Olympic Committee chose Rio de Janeiro as the host city for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games.  It really wasn't that Brazil's president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, was a better saleman than Obama,  it's just that Rio is an easier product to sell.</p>

<h2>Rio:</h2>

         <title>Executing Innocent People Prevents Future Murders</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><br /><div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/iamges/sub3/noose.jpg"  ><img src="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/iamges/sub3/noosesm.jpg" alt="Get a rope!  Hangman's noose hanging from the tree at the 'ghost town' of Corlew's Silver City in remote Bodfish, CA - kernvalley035x" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/matthigh/2772052540/">Hangman's noose at Corlew's Silver City</a><br />Photo by: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/matthigh/">mlhradio</a></span></div><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="float:left;color:darkgreen;font-size:80px;line-height:64px;padding-top:1px;padding-right:5px;font-family:times;">T</span>hat's right, Executing Innocent People Prevents Future Murders.  Before I tell you what idiot actually said this, let me first give you some background.</p></p>

<p>For as long as humans have been able to communicate, they have told stories.  Stories of great hunts, of heroes, of battles, and stories of creation.  Aside from entertainment, the purpose of these stories was to describe proper behavior: for the hunter, how to bring down that mastodon; for the hero, how to rescue a Helen of Sparta; for soldiers, how to fight against hundreds of thousands when they are but 300; for the common people, rewards for following rules and punishments for breaking a taboo.</p>

<p>Certain taboos and the punishments for breaking them have continued for tens of thousands of years until even the present day.  The taboo I want to discuss is murder and its punishment: death.</p>

<p>Although we have long ago dismissed the Sumerian story of creation, or as intelligent people call it, the Sumerian creation myth, where the gods An, Enlil, Enki and Ninhursanga create man and the animals, we still cling to certain myths regarding punishment for murder.</p>

<p>In Biblical times, Capital Punishment was the weapon of choice against all evil-doers on the premise that this would please God.  We recall the words of King David (<a href="http://bible.cc/psalms/101-8.htm">Psalm 101:8</a>): "In the morning I put to death all the wicked of the land, that I might cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of the Lord."<br clear="all" /></p>]]></description>
