Random Friday Morning Thoughts


  • The "sequester" (what a weird word) may only impact 2% to 3% of the budget, but that will lead to a huge impact on tens of thousands of families who either have a job loss or a pay cut. The percentage may be small but the whole is large. For example, if you only had to walk across 2% of the country today, you'd have to walk over 50 miles.
  • I haven't followed much of the Jody Arias trial, but she's now been on the stand for over 13 days. How is that possible? And I hope for an acquittal because I think Nancy Grace's head would actually explode, and I want to watch.
  • A Texas attorney about to be sentenced to federal prison for cutting deals with a judge for money (among other things) took a taxi in the middle of the night to the middle of the bridge which connects Port Isabel and South Padre Island. He then jumped off of it
  • I went to a Fourth Grade talent show last night -- might have been one of the cutest things I've ever seen.
  • A major Republican leader in Wise County opined the other day that churches should teach more on the book of Leviticus because it has more quotes directly from God than any other book of the Bible. 
  • Great hypothetical on The Ticket this morning: Would you rat out the Highland Park High School threat making guy for the $7,500 reward even though you would always be known as the guy who ratted by your high school peers?
  • My internet connection in Decatur this morning is slower than dial-up. Seriously.
  • "Florida man swallowed by sinkhole." That headline will get your attention. 
  • From the Update -- Wise County guys competing in the bullriding event at Cowboys Stadium: Silvano Alves, Valdiron de Oliveira, Renato Nunes, Marco Eguchi. Is bullriding big with those from Mexico or Latin America?
  • Viral pictures of the back of some hot girl who leads her man around the world. 
  • I think Pastor Robert Jeffress could actually run the First Baptist of Dallas into the ground. That is, if anyone could, he could. 
  • I'm very impressed with the guy who memorized the names and ranks of every soldier who died in Afghanistan. I'm also impressed with his handwriting and its neatness.

The Leviticus thing is right on.

Plus, we have WAY too many club-footed and walleyed people approaching our altars around here, so it's long overdue to spread those prohibitions!

According to a brilliant congresswoman from California, Maxine Waters, the "seacrestation" is going to cost the American citizens over a 170 million jobs. These are your brilliant liberal weenie chicken little politicians that you elected to ruin our country. According to Nancy Pelosi, it will result in the loss of 500 million jobs a month. Please be honest with yourself and ask if this the type of braintrust that you are so proud of and keep re-electing. Still waiting for Joe Biden to weigh in and give his mensa words of wisdom.

Obama to Cronies:

Ok. Someone come up with a word to make American's think something big will affect them if we don't raise taxes....hmmm....sequester....that'll scare them.

wordkyle said...

You can count on budget cuts being applied to those areas that will cause the most screaming, rather than to areas which are most wasteful. That gets the most press. (And once again, the federal government will spend more each year than it did the previous year. "Cuts" are merely reductions in projected increases.)

Obama and the Democrats rammed through the legislation which included sequestration against complete Republican opposition. The Democrat-controlled Senate has not passed a budget resolution since 2009. Lay any suffering from sequestration at their door.

Texas Attorney suicide - isn't federal prison kind of cushy?

Highland Park High School threat - Can't they make anonymous tips?

Florida Sinkhole story - sad, but the story sucked. I thought he was rescued until I re-read it.

Hot girl viral - photo shop waste of time.

Joe Biden told the country to shoot thru the door if an intruder is out there, so a guy in Virginia did and got arrested.

I hope they call Bumbling Biden to the witness stand. That would be a weeks worth of lib-tard hilarious quotes.

A reading of Leviticus does sound a lot like the Republican platform.

If anyone curses his father or mother, he must be put to death. (Leviticus 20:9)

Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. (Leviticus 25:44-45)

If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death. (Leviticus 20:10)

If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death. (Leviticus 20:13)

And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you; They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination. Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you. (Leviticus 11:10-12)

You shall not breed together two kinds of your cattle; you shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed, nor wear a garment upon you of two kinds of material mixed together (Leviticus 19:19)

Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard. (Leviticus 19:27)

And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the Lord, shall be put to death. (Leviticus 24:16)

Preach on brother!

I am even seeing hints in the liberal media outlets that they are disagreeing with Obama on the sequester. I think Obama could actually run the economy into the ground. That is, if anyone could, he could.

Anonymous said...

Kyle,

You are so dishonest. Dem haven't rammed anything thru a Senate that has filibustered everything. No one controls the Senate but the Republican minority.

Just yesterday, Senate voted down Republican plan by majority vote, Dem didn't even get to vote on their plan as Repubs filibustered the Dems plan even tho it has 51 votes.

So get real, who controls whom!

Obama embraces Republican ideas, and they suddenly are against what they were for just months previously.

A good example of bigotry.

Wordy, you are a liar...again...

"Obama and the Democrats rammed through the legislation which included sequestration against complete Republican opposition."

The sequestration was part of package of automatic spending cuts that were part of the Budget Control Act (BCA), which was passed in August 2011.

The Republican controlled House passed the Budget Control Act on August 1, 2011 by a vote of 269–161. 174 Republicans and 95 Democrats voted for it, while 66 Republicans and 95 Democrats voted against it.

Why don't you lay your revisionist history at the door.

Those against wordkyle is proof that the media has really muddled the brains of the masses.

Wordkyle is typically spot-on, but there is so much diatribe from the left and the left-wing media, that there is plenty of false evidence to counter his facts.

Attack Wordkyle, but keep defending Obammy, Biden, Pelosi, Durbin, Hoyer, Waters, Feinstein and Clinton. I wonder why the term lo fo voters was created?

Anonymous said...

I'll join the chorus; the first thing cut should be the pay of all national elected officials. Not a large percentage of the total cuts but would make more of an impact.

I see people are again making the mistake of reading WK's comments. I will say again, when you see "Bob" Dobbs, skip that part.

wordkyle said...

I confess -- I was wrong. When checking the vote counts for sequester legislation, I accessed the wrong legislation, and my claims were based on the wrong vote counts. Contrary to other claims, I wasn't lying -- but I was wrong. On this one topic of who voted for the sequestration legislation, I have no excuse. I missed the mark.

Democrat corruption is huge in Brownsville and surrounding cities. There's also a lawyer from Wise County defending one of them.

"With Armando Villalobos, Jim Solis, Abel Limas, Conrado Cantu, Ray Marchan already indicted or imprisoned, the announcement by the El Rrun Rrun blog that four more indictments were likely forthcoming from among Rene Oliveira, Eddie Trevino, Judge Elia Cornejo-Lopez, Judge Leonel Alejandro, Judge Arturo Nelson, Charles Willette and/or Judge David Sanchez indicates that likely corruption runs deep in Cameron County."

Yeah, missing a vote count is one thing--but outright misrepresenting the overwhelming Republican support for the sequester is a dirty lie. I agree with Rage:

Wordy, let me get this straight.

The news has been abuzz with sequester talk for months and TODAY, by virtue one of your posts being challenged, you finally learned that the House Republicans passed it at the behest of Speaker Boehner?

Well, I think you should write a strongly-worded letter to Fox News, Hannity, Beck and Limbaugh complaining that they have been putting the wrong words in your mouth.

Ultimately, the solution came from White House National Economic Council Director Gene Sperling, who, on July 12, 2011, proposed a compulsory trigger that would go into effect if another agreement was not made on tax increases and/or budget cuts equal to or greater than the the debt ceiling increase by a future date.
