Saturday Silly

A Virginia State trooper pulled a car over on I-64 about 2 miles south of the Virginia/ West Virginia Stateline. When the trooper asked the driver why he was speeding, the driver said he was a Magician and Juggler and was on his way to Beckley WV to do a show at the Shrine Circus. He didn’t want to be late.

The trooper told the driver he was fascinated by juggling and said if the driver would do a little juggling for him then he wouldn’t give him a ticket. He told the trooper he had sent his equipment ahead and didn’t have anything to juggle.
The trooper said he had some flares in the trunk and asked if he could juggle them. The juggler said he could, so the trooper got 5 flares, lit them and handed them to him.
While the man was juggling, a car pulled in behind the patrol car. A drunken good old boy from West Virginia got out, watched the performance, then went over to the patrol car, opened the rear door and got in. The trooper observed him and went over to the patrol car, opened the door asking the drunk what he thought he was doing.
The drunk replied, “You might as well take my ass to jail, cause there ain’t no way I can pass that test.”

Ammunition Is Getting Scarce
This morning I lucked out and was able to buy several cases of ammo. On the way home I stopped at the gas station where a drop-dead gorgeous blonde was filling up her car at the next pump.
She looked at the ammo in the back of my SUV and said in a very sexy voice, “I’m a big believer in barter, big boy”. “Would you be interested in trading sex for ammo?”
I thought a few seconds and asked, “what kinda ammo ya got?”

A social worker from a big city in Massachusetts recently transferred to the mountains of Virginia and was on the first tour of her new territory when she came upon the tiniest cabin she had ever seen in her life. Intrigued, she went up and knocked on the door.
“Anybody home?” she asked.
“Yep,” came a kid’s voice through the door.
“Is your father there?” asked the social worker.
“Pa? Nope, he left afore Ma came in,” said the kid.
“Well, is your mother there?” persisted the social worker.
“Ma? Nope, she left just afore I got here,” said the kid.
“But,” protested the social worker, (thinking that surely she will need to intervene in this situation) “are you never together as a family?”
“Sure, but not here,” said the kid through the door. “This is the outhouse!”
Government workers are so very smart. Aren’t you overjoyed that they’ll soon be handling all our financial, educational and medical dilemmas?

No snow nor rain nor hurricane’s gonna stop this abortion clinic!

Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night, stays the abortion business from the swift completion of their killing.

Steven Ertelt reports for LifeNews, Nov. 2, 2012, that a local abortion business in northern Virginia, Falls Church Healthcare [sic] Center, was flooded after Hurricane Sandy wreaked havoc. The abortion clinic in Falls Church, VA, serves the Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia and Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.

But did a mere flood stop the abortion clinic from killing unborn?

Hell no!

Instead, the workers at the abortion clinic put towels on the floor and, just five hours after they had entered the dilapidated facility, managed to “perform” their first abortion since Sandy first struck!

So dedicated are the abortion workers, almost every staff member made it to the abortion center.

So determined to kill the human person living inside their wombs, half of the women who had scheduled abortions had their babies aborted on Monday and Tuesday, the two worst days of the storm.

In her article about the Falls Church abortion clinic, “Abortion Care Doesn’t Stop Because of Hurricanes,” Carol Joffe (photo left), a professor at the Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health at the University of California, San Francisco, exults that the clinic’s workers “got in around 5:30 a.m.” to find “two inches of water in the surgery room, water on the carpets, two offices totally soaked, water leaking in from our large windows.” Undaunted, the staff “put out hundreds of towels and started mopping up,” and opened the clinic to business that morning at 10 a.m.!

Rosemary Codding, Director of Falls Church Healthcare [sic] Center

Rose Codding (photo above), the director of the abortion clinic proudly told Carol Joffe that due to the “dedication” and efforts of her and her staff, the clinic did not close at all and “was able to see patients on both Monday and Tuesday, the days of the greatest disruption by Sandy in Virginia”! Of her staff of 11, all but two were able to make it to the clinic on those days, despite quite challenging driving conditions! Half of that day’s patients were able to reach the clinic on Monday and even more showed up on Tuesday! Sadly, those unable “to keep their appointments” were mainly women who depended on public transportation, which was suspended!

Here’s a pic of Falls Church “Healthcare” Center’s staff smiling, waving, and bidding their customers to “Come and See Us Soon!”

And to think there are those who take umbrage at the pro-aborts being called a Cult of Death. [snark]

Three Strike Outs

A Chesterfield County elementary school in Virginia rejected First Lady Michelle Obama’s request to speak on Thursday, citing school policy.

Tim Bullis, the school division’s community relations director, told the Richmond Times-Dispatch that School Board policy 6100 prohibits “the use of school facilities during the school day for political purposes.” 

This is the third time in the last month the Obama campaign has been denied use of a venue the campaign would have preferred in Virginia.

Elementary school teacher tells students Republicans are stupid

On the heels of the Arizona high school teacher who let a lone student stand for the Pledge of Allegiance and the Masschusetts elementary school that tried to get rid of the words “God” and “bless” from Lee Greenwood’s song “God Bless the U.S.A.,” comes another teacher caught behaving badly.

Colin Powell Elementary School on primary election day

Kalyn McMackin reports for The Daily Caller, April 5, 2012, that a Virginia elementary school teacher told her 6th grade class that “Republicans are stupid” and “they don’t care about anyone but wealthy people and businesses.” Kristin Martin said this as Republican voters were filing into the halls of Colin L. Powell Elementary School in Fairfax County to vote on Super Tuesday.

One student told The Daily Caller: “It all started when this disabled kid came in and named all the Republicans candidates for Super Tuesday. She [Martin] said to him, ‘I don’t like them, I think that they are stupid.’”

Martin told the classroom that she had voted for Obama and that “Democrats do more for the community and schools.”

A mother, who said she is a Republican and asked not to be named to protect her daughter from retaliation, said Martin’s statements were “brainwashing” students. “I felt like the teacher was brainwashing naive, young children to believe people like me, my family and, to a certain extent, my daughter, were stupid,” she told TheDC via email.

When she heard about the teacher’s remarks, the frustrated mother immediately contacted Linda Clifford, the school principal. Clifford responded with an apology via email:

“I am so sorry that Miss Martin used such very poor judgment. I will certainly address it with her tomorrow. I share your assessment of the situation that there is no room for that kind of comment in a school setting. Thank you so much for bringing this serious situation to my attention.”

One student said many students were stunned that their teacher would voice such strong political opinions. “My reactions were shocked. I think her political views should not be shared with 11 and 12 year olds,” she said. “It was hard for me to understand. I was still in so much shock.”

The student told TheDC that Martin apologized the next day, saying: “I am sorry about what I said about the different parties. I am deeply sorry if I offended you in any way. I realized what I said about Republicans was wrong and I shouldn’t have shared that with you guys.”

John Torre, a spokesman for the Fairfax County School System, said that the school board did look into the matter but was unable to reach a conclusion. “The district has looked into the alleged statements and could not reach any conclusive findings. There was an informal discussion about politics between the teacher and students that was not a part of any classroom lesson. There are differing accounts of what may or may not have been said by the participants.”

The county school superintendent’s office later sent all principals a reminder about policies “that regulate employee political activities and the presentation of controversial issues in the classroom.” The principals distributed that information to their teachers.

Martin did not respond to The Daily Caller’s request for comment.

…………

The school is named after General Colin Powell who, though a RINO, is a registered Republican. So, according to teacher Kristin Martin, Colin Powell is stupid.

Here’s contact info for Colin L. Powell Elementary School:

• Address: 13340 Leland Road, Centreville, VA 20120

• Phone: 571-522-6000

• Principal Linda Clifford‘s e-mail: LLClifford@fcps.edu

• 6th grade teacher Kristin Martin‘s e-mail: KMMartin1@fcps.edu

• Fairfax County Schools Superintendent Jack D. Dale‘s e-mail: Jack.Dale@fcps.edu

This is the e-mail I wrote Superintendent Jack Dale (feel free to copy & paste as your own):

Dear Mr. Dale:

As the Superintendent of Fairfax County Schools, you should know that one of your teachers — Kristin Martin of Colin C. Powell Elementary School — improperly injected politics into her teaching.

She declared that she had voted for Barack Obama, that Democrats are more “caring,” and proclaimed Republicans to be “stupid.”

In so doing, Ms. Martin is misusing her power and authority as teacher to influence and brainwash her students. By calling Republicans “stupid,” Ms. Martin is also calling General Colin Powell — for whom the school is named — stupid.

Her behavior deserves more than a mere verbal slap on her wrist. She should be given disciplinary sanction, if not dismissed altogether.

Your silence in this matter might be mistaken for your partisanship and your approval of Ms. Martin’s conduct.

Sincerely,

_______

UPDATE (April 8):

I got a terse response to my e-mail from Jack Dale. Although I had addressed him as “Dear Mr. Dale,” he chose not to address me at all — not by my name, nor by my title (Dr. or Professor). This is his e-mail:

“The story is not accurate and the reporter, when given the facts, chose to not report the facts. Disappointing.”

So I wrote back in his style and brevity:

“So what are the facts? The reporter may have ‘chosen not to report the facts,’ but I know a blogger who will.”

I won’t be holding my breath for a response.

TOTUS was taken — at least for a little bit.

That’s right, a truck carrying the president’s teleprompter (jokingly referred to as TOTUS, or the teleprompter of the United States), podiums, and audio equipment was stolen in Virginia, WWBT-TV reports.

The Department of Defense confirmed the heist, but it’s unclear if the thieves targeted the vehicle for what it contained or simply got “lucky.”

WWBT has more:

We‘re told the truck was parked at the  Virginia Center Commons Courtyard Marriott in advance on Wednesday’s  presidential visit to Chesterfield.

Sources said inside that vehicle was about  $200,000 worth of sound equipment, several podiums and presidential  seals, behind which only the President himself can stand.

They told NBC12 around 12:30 Monday afternoon  that truck was recovered in the parking lot of the Holiday Inn Express  near the airport and hotel staff confirm police activity.  One guest we  spoke with said he saw various law enforcement agencies examining a  white box truck parked there.

Still, even though the truck was recovered it’s unclear from reports if any of the equipment was removed from the vehicle or if it was just missing temporarily.

“No classified or sensitive information was  in the vehicle,” a Defense Information Systems Agency spokesperson told WWBT. “We take incidents such as this very seriously and a  formal investigation is continuing.”

Discover Virginia: Cape Henry Light House

Cape Henry is a small bit of land that juts into the Chesapeake Bay seen below. The water above is the Atlantic Ocean. The water below is the bay.

image courtesy wikimedia

This was the spot where English settlers actually touched America for the first time in 1607. They named it Henry after King James’ son, and then they traveled farther across the bay to settle Jamestown.

In 1791 this was a major area for travel and shipping. It was chosen as the very first place for the American government to fund a light house:

The original house became so obsolete they had to stop using it, which means now we have the honor and privilege to go inside. The view from the top is breathtaking:

With the old one being out of commission, a modern one stands close by, still working as a light for the bay traffic.

these giant tankers are not carrying oil - they pull Appalachian coal to be sold to China and Europe. Appalacian coal is the most dense on earth and produces the most energy per unit.

this new structure is off limits to the public

If you’re ever in the area, feel free to swing by and have a look. But bring your ID – it sits on land belonging to Fort Story, an Army training camp for amphibious warfare. They searched our car with a metal detector and said we couldn’t touch anything else on base.

But even so, the view was worth it.

More Civility From Union Thugs

Via TheBlaze: Union protestors harass Congressman Frank Wolf (R-VA) during a press conference. The Congressman is trying to save taxpayers some money (heaven forbid!). He’s opposed to the more expensive of two proposed Dulles Metrorail stations. He’s also come out against collective bargaining.

That just won’t do for union protesters who, during Wolf’s press conference today, interrupted the proceedings with shouts and chants, “go home!”. That was their civil mantra.

Notice the one union protestor holding a sign that states, “We deserve a first class metropolitan”. You deserve it? We all deserve a metropolitan that saves money to taxpayers. There’s also another sign in the beginning that states, “our jobs, our money, and ?” (can’t read the last line). Your money? Try again. This is not the unions’ agenda. It’s their jobs – don’t fool yourselves. Typical union mentality.

Keep it coming union thugs…your true colors show through each and every day you demand more and more from us taxpayers.

New Warning From The CDC

This is good Information about Gonorrhea Lectim

The Center for Disease Control has issued a warning about a new
virulent strain of this old disease. The disease is called Gonorrhea
Lectim. It’s pronounced “Gonna re-elect ‘em,” and it is a terrible
obamanation.

The disease is contracted through dangerous and high risk behavior
involving putting your cranium up your rectum. Many victims
contracted it in 2008…but now most people, after having been
infected for the past 1-2 years, are starting to realize how
destructive this sickness is.

It’s sad because Gonorrhea Lectim is easily cured with a new drug
just coming on the market called Votemout. You take the first dose in
2010 and the second dose in 2012 and simply don’t engage in such
behavior again; otherwise, it could become permanent and eventually
wipe out all life as we know it.

Several states are already on top of this, like Virginia and New
Jersey, and apparently now Massachusetts, with many more seeing the
writing on the wall.

Please pass this important message on to all those bright folks you

really care about.
