Glenn, a good friend and trusted reader sent me an article on http://www.factcheck.org/ about tough punishment handed out to dishonest or lying politicians in Great Britain. In this particular case, the lying politician was booted out of parliament for lying about his opponent being sympathetic to Muslims. He cannot run for office for three years. If they did that here, we would get better politicians and fewer Muslim sympathizers or any unpopular cause backers if what was being said about them was and had to be true. Of course, some activist judge would pull the teeth from the law the first time it went against their position.
Congratulations to Coach Jerry Kill and the NIU Huskies football team. They went to Ypsilanti, MI and dominated Eastern Michigan 71 to 3 in gaining their tenth win of the season with at least one more game left. The ten wins is even more impressive when you figure in that NIU had only five home games. NIU now plays in the MAC Championship game this Friday, Dec. 3, 2010 at 6:00 p.m. in Detroit, MI. The game will be played at Ford Field, the home of the Detroit Lions of the NFL. The game will be broadcast on ESPN 2.
I hope Friday’s game does not haunt NIU in the future. The Huskies scored ten touchdowns, had 646 yards from scrimmage and 686 kickoff return yards. The NIU team had five touchdown runs of over 60 yards. I know it is hard to tell the second and third string players to not try hard. They don’t play that often and want to excel when they do play but Eastern Michigan will not forget this humiliating defeat. You don’t get beat by 68 points too often and rarer still at home, before 5,147 fans. Eastern will get the opportunity to return the favor in DeKalb some year. Don’t be surprised when they throw for a touchdown with a 40 point lead and 7 seconds left in the game. Coach Kill lived up to his name yesterday. I hope it does not change to Coach Target in the near future.
For the second time in a month, we discovered a tunnel from Tijuana, Mexico to San Diego, CA used to smuggle drugs. This tunnel was lighted, had several rooms, started in the kitchen of a home in Tijuana and ran 2,200 feet, 7 football fields, to two warehouses in an industrial area in San Diego. The tunnel was equipped with a railcar system, making transportation of the contraband more efficient and easier. Over 20 tons of pot was also discovered in the tunnel.
How long did we know about this tunnel. This type of construction would take over a year if it were built according to the laws in America. This is not something two guys named Juan and a shovel build. It would be a noisy and dusty job to complete with plenty of debris that needed to be disposed of. This is the second tunnel we have closed in less than a month. How many more are there? Who is looking the other way? Instead of closing the next one we find, fill it with gas and blow it up. We will find the source and get rid of some bad guys along the way. Our country cannot seem to control this, Mexico does not want to control this so let’s exterminate it. My way is bound to get some body’s attention.
I bet this tunnel story got Willie Nelson’s attention. The move to designate his tour bus a pot legal zone failed again. 77 year old Willie Nelson was arrested for possession of pot again after his bus was stopped at a checkpoint in Sierra, Texas. Willie Nelson is a recreational user of pot. I do not think what he does should be a crime but it is. Until the law changes, Willie must be punished.
Willie Nelson has lead an interesting life. He often lives while ignoring some laws most of us follow. He has, however, never been violent, other than bar brawls, and has always paid the price of his crimes. He appears to hear a drum beat many of us do not hear.
I remember reading an interview of Willie years ago, before he lost one of his fortunes, when he owned a golf course around his ranch. He was asked the par of a certain hole. He responded by saying that all depends, some days it is a three but after last night, today it is an eight. I bet Willie’s blue eyes are not crying in the rain. He is just ready to get on the road again to see all his heroes, the cowboys.
Escondido, CA, police found so many explosives and enough chemicals to build more explosives that they had to suspend looking in the house to develop a game-plan to clean the place up. That cannot help property values in an already depressed real estate market. The owner, a foreign born naturalized citizen is being held on 5 million dollars bond. pentaerythritol tetranitrate, known as PETN is one of the many chemicals found in the house. It is the same chemical the suicide underwear bombers use. It is the chemical airport scanners are designed to detect.
This disgruntled foreigner is a prime example he United States of America must post a NO VACANCY sign on the Statue of Liberty until we figure this mess out. No exceptions, no hardship cases, no in progress cases, no students, NO ENTRY.
Don’t forget to buy my book. They are going fast. Makes a great Christmas gift,
