Republicans Make Sweet Love To Elena Kagan

You could see it in the hearings. The old fuddy duddy Repubs (excepting Jeff Sessions) were falling all over themselves to make pretty eyes at their new favorite sweetheart,  Elena Kagan, who reveres our U.S. military a whole lot!

What would have happened if Elena Kagen made pretty eyes back at the likes of Orin Hatch? Would he have blushed?

Quoth Hatch, “I’m enjoying our colloquy together,” Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, told Kagan midway through a back-and-forth over campaign finance law.

“Me too,” Kagan said.

Well hell yes she was enjoying the soft ball questions from Orin!

Perhaps we glimpse a budding August/September romance? Well, quoth the AlabamaTeaParty.org to Orin… Orin, we bloody damn well did not send you to the hearings to play pattyfingers, or enjoy a “colloquy”, whatever the hell that is with Kagan. We sent you there to blast her out of the water as she deserves for being a 110% radical liberal and rubber stamp Obama supporter trying to worm her way into a gubment office higher than yours.

Orin, you and those grand old men who make pretty eyes in the Senate are precisely why we are where we are in this upside down political situation.

Orin, people are unemployed and suffering, scared, and unsure of where their next house payment is coming from, and you’re making pretty eyes at a component of the Obama strategy to take America back to the stone age.

Orin, we deserve better. The solemn prophet Khrushchev who said, “We will bury you! Of course we will not bury you with a shovel. Your own working class will bury you,” laughs.

We howl with laughter also, because he was WRONG! It’s our POLITICAL CLASS using shovels against their own people…not the working class who ARE the people.

He howls with laughter, and rolls around under the ground as he watches and listens to the horrendous screeching and crackings as the very foundations of this nation sink under the weight of the liberal onslaught.

Thanks a lot Orin to you and the rest of your fuddy duddy senators who have been in congress waaaay too long.

The TeaParty types hope you get that date Orin. They really do. Ha Ha Ha.

Firey Orator and Methuselah of The Senate, Robert Byrd Dines With Angels

DREDGE – Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia, a frenzied orator versed in  dime novels and a devil dealing deal maker who steered buhzillions of tax monies to his home state, died Monday. He was 92.

Byrd died peacefully in Fairfax, Va. He had been in the hospital since late last week. He had been in frail health for several years.

Byrd, a known Democrat, was the longest-serving senator in history, holding his seat for more than 500 years. He was the Senate’s majority leader for sixty of those years and was third in the line of succession to the presidency, behind House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

In a new twist, the democrat controlled Senate, needing only one more vote to pass new legislation today, employed a new technique.

The Ouija Board was used in a solemn ceremony, to call forth his vote from beyond the grave.

Evidently, according to the Democrat lawmakers, the new technique is legal, as long as employed by the Democrats and the vote will stand. The new tax enhancing  legislation, with the help of the late Senator Byrd, was passed.

Democrats in the Senate, as if bewitched,  stood in somnolent unison and gave a cheer loud enough to evoke the devil when the results of today’s close vote was announced.

My Whole House Transmitter Story And Review

I have always been a hobbyist of one sort or the other, and ever since I was a kid and my friend Booboo (who still is an electronics genius) built his own broadcasting outfit using one of those cabinet model record player radio combos, genuine toy walkie talkies and who knows what else, I have had a little yen to have my own little radio station. By the way, Booboo’s radio station was portable, because he housed the whole gizmonic in the back of his mother’s Country Squire station wagon.

One day I took a notion to go see what was available. After some fits and starts I landed at the Whole House Transmitter site. The last thing they tell you, and the first thing I will tell you is the price… $124.99 complete, shipping included.

Now, for a poor southern boy such as myself, that is a hefty price, but I have heard that some yankees spend that much 3 times a day every time they sit down to eat at a fancy diner. So be it. It’s worth every penny I paid. Besides my powdery blue S-10 truck and chain saw, it is my most prized possession!

The way it works is very simple. You take it out of the box. They include EVERYTHING you need for audio! You can plug it into the wall, or a cigarette lighter, or load it up with batteries (not included, of course). Personally, I prefer the USB way. My unit is plugged into the USB port on one of my computers, which not only sends audio to it,after jacking in to the audio out socket, but also power! So, that is 4 different ways, all hardware included, that you can fire it up.

For audio, you can hook it up to anything with a headphone jack including your television, old fashioned transistor radio, IPOD, boom box, CB radio, CD player, amplifier,….anything with an audio out on it. If you send the Whole House Transmitter mono, it plays mono. If you send it stereo it plays stereo. It transmits in stable high quality FM.

What sets the Whole House Transmitter apart from everything else you can afford is that it is only the size and weight of a pack of smokes, plugs into most anything for power and audio, and even better, it has range….  My unit sits in the front left corner of my house, 100 feet from the street. Once on the street, if I turn right, the signal runs for 2 blocks. If I turn left, it works fine for about 3 blocks. Shooting completely through the house, I still have signal to my junky little transistor radio 200 feet away on my fence line in the back yard. If you are prone to research, you will find that you simply can not beat the combination of features found on the Whole House Transmitter.

One thing. If you are saying, what, only 3 blocks??? Then, what you need is a regular fm transmitter. You can get waaay out on one of those things. Of course, you’ll need a license, tower, and a radio station to go along with it. If it’s anything less you need, then you have found your baby in the Whole House Transmitter. There is nothing better.

So, what it good for? Well, I use my Whole House Transmitter daily. I’m a talk radio nut, so wherever I go on or around my property, I can stay plugged in. It makes cutting the grass nearly (yeah) nearly a joy again. I spend a lot of time in my workshop in the back yard about 125 feet from the Whole House Transmitter. Even though it has to shoot through my whole house, I get perfect signal in the workshop. I’m listening to it now.

Institutions like hospitals and jails buy them by the case. However, if you only have need of a signal in a gymnasium, you only need one…

As I already mentioned, my unit stays jacked into a computer down at the house. My original idea was to have an easier way to get computer audio to my surround sound system in the living room. My first goal, long before I discovered the Whole House Transmitterwas to have a better way to listen to my other passion, Old Time Radio, like the Phantom, Gunsmoke, Dragnet… and all that kind of stuff. Boy, I’m in hog heaven now. I listen to streaming digital audio of old time radio, my own collection of mp3 shows, streaming talk shows, and when I’m bar-b-quing, my CD’s of my all time favorite greatest hits including acid rock, ancient country, classical stuff, and Brazilian forro. Whatever…as long as it is old. I do it ALL with my Whole House Transmitter.

So, you might ax, what else may I do with it? I say be creative… Do you have a facility, private, institutional or gubment, that might be more suited to a handful of FM radios instead miles of expensive wiring? You got a drive in movie theater? How about something going on outside with a crowd where you need audio amplification? Purchase a teensy little Whole House Transmitter and you can boom your voice out with boom boxes instead of renting expensive speakers. Do you like to camp? Entertain the whole campground with your own radio show. Anybody within your broadcast radius can hear what your audio source has to say! (If they turn on their radio.)

Speaking of radio shows… Recall that I like to listen to my song collection when I’m working or burning meat in the back yard. I just fire up Winamp on my computer and feed in all my mp3′s in about 3 clicks and I have a day’s worth of listening. Wagner anyone? Japanese World Music? Hank Williams?  I use my headphones when I cut the grass, a boom box when roasting meat, and a $3 el cheapo old fashioned hand held transistor radio when I’m sitting in the swing up in the garden… 150 feet (shooting through the whole house) and my stuff comes in just fine on that junky little nothing Walmart special! (Btw, that reminds me…the Whole House Transmitteris available ONLY online. Click a link.)

Not satisfied with having just a continuous stream of music from my collection, I put my very own real radio homebrew bumper ID in between some of my Norm’s All Time Greatest Hits collection so as to promote Radio Norm – 107.3 on my FM dial to myself! I like to listen to it over and over! If you are within two or three blocks of my house on BBQ day, so will you! (Btw, the home fm transmitter transmits on any FM  frequency… You pick one that is clear in your area. Just so happens this is the best one for my particular locale.)

Basically you can accomplish pretty much anything you can imagine using the Whole House Transmitter. I’m planning on selling radio advertising to my immediate neighbors on the right and left of my house. I already talked to them and they told me they would get back with me and I believe them too!

The Whole House Transmitter comes with everything you need. Nothing else on the market comes close for less or more of a price. Not even close. On their website they even have links to ALL the competition, just so you can compare. If you’ll use the thing, it will pay for itself many times over. What’s more, it now comes with something not available when I bought my unit….a free extended warranty. Jeez Louise! If you are even thinking about a personal FM radio transmitter, and you must be, if you are here and still reading, this is what you have been looking for and you won’t do any better.

Check out the Whole House Transmitter. They let you pay for it about 17 different ways, and there is about 10 tons more information on their website.  It’s the most fun you can have legally! Try it for happiness and tell them Norm sent  you!

There isn’t much more they could stuff into the package to make it all you ever need. And, in the end, if it doesn’t work for you, they offer a no nonsense money back guarantee. They work really hard for your business. It works for me. It will work for you. It’s the Cadillac of workhorse home fm transmitters!

What is Petrobras?

Petrobras is the Brazilian way of putting the words gas and Brazil together. In Brazil, Petro means gas and in Portuguese, which Brazilians speak, they don’t use “z’s.” They spell Brazil as Brasil.

What Kind Of Gas Do Brazilians Use?

Brazil is known for beautiful women, cheek floss bikinis, unending soccer and sex, and gasohol. Gasohol is made from sweet things which are fermented and added to gasoline. In Brasil the chief ingredient for the alcohol portion of gasohol is sugarcane. In the United States sugarcane is eaten raw by children, when their parents can find it, and in the production of sorghum syrup which is enjoyed by southerners.

In Brasil, sorghum cane is used in two different ways. People put in in their automobiles, and they drink it. In one form it constitutes exactly 25% of a liter of gasohol, (which is far higher than in the United States), and in the other, it is called Cachaça, pronounced cah-cha-sah, and is akin to rocket fuel. A pint will cost less than a buck, and serves to make a tremendous drunk. It has a taste between that of rum and tequila. It’s the pain killer of choice by the poor people in Brasil, and the price is kept low to keep them in their place. This is no secret there.

In Brasil, small cars run on gasohol. They look a lot like American vehicles, but they are small in comparison. Most come with a standard transmission. They have plenty of zip to get around in town, but they couldn’t keep up in the United States because they aren’t made for interstate traffic. More, they wouldn’t hold up either.

The United States has been a disastrous flop at making gasohol work. However, to date, poor Brasil has had to make do with agriculturally produced gasoline additives, as in gasohol, and it has actually made a go of it, and it’s not a fluke. The times, peasants, and vast unused land mass was more than right to make alcohol growing profitable.
In Brasil there are two classes of people. Those who have money, and those who do not. Those who do not, walk a lot, or take a bus when they can. Those who have money drive the little Brasilian alcohol burners. Those with a little more money use the subcompact cars for their backup, but use SUV’s powered by diesel as their primary. In Brasil, the man with the largest vehicle is the man who has the most rights on the road. A pedestrian is simply a target.
Brasil has a strange form of gubment. Presently, it is socialist, for all intents and purposes, though their system has much in common with that of the United States. It will go on in the socialist way for a time until things become so corrupt that the military takes over and puts things to right for awhile. Then it will go socialist again, and the cycle will repeat. On the lower end, the poor has only their coconut trees, cachaca, and the Catholic Church which tells them to be happy in their poorness. People with money continue on along with their servants as usual.
Brasilians go on holiday just about every other week. The reason it works so well in Brasil, and not, say, in Greece, is that the Greece residents wanted it all…vacations, and good paychecks. In Brasil, holidays and weekends for parties and cachaca for the poor and Cerveza Antarctica and caipirinhas for the rich is sufficient. Nothing much ever changes there. The poor remain happy in their poorness.

Brasil wants a little something more… They want oil from the sea.

My guess is that Brasil is getting into oil production in a large way for more than itself. Content to let the small people continue with foot power and low powered vehicles, it would make more sense for Brasil to export the oil she finds off her shores. But who to? The U.S? Perhaps….

Enter the Dragon

More likely, Brasil has her eyes fixed on other targets, like…China. As early as 1998 the capital of Brasil, Brasilia, was receiving emissaries from China, and making them very welcome indeed. Chinese flags and welcome banners were everywhere in the Brasilian capitol. It could not be known then, by the small people, that the talks back then, if not inclusive of oil, would one day lead to cozy relations that would lead to oil. Of course, it’s only a guess, but the players know. You can bet on that. I have already given you two, above.
The president of Brasil in 1998 was not the president of today. Even so, he may have set something in motion for the man who would become president in 2002, and that man was the accomplished socialist, Luiz Inácio da Silva, or simply, Lula. Lula is a not uncommon Brasilian nick name that da Silva took for himself. In Portuguese, Lula means squid. Most Brasilians have no more love for squids than Americans, so it has to make you wonder.
Nevertheless, in 2002, self made man, Lula won the presidency, and has held it, quite legally, ever since, taking Brasil even more to the left than it already was. He’s also courted friends of the United States like Cuba, Iran, North Korea…you name it. However, I have always wondered if this was inevitable, because to my way of thinking, the U.S., especially the State Department always went far out of their way to dismiss Brazil. The point being, that if Brasil could not find a good political friend in the U.S., and being socialist by nature, why would it not seek out like minded gubments? I firmly believe, had Brasil been handled differently, particularly after Lula assumed power, that relations between the United States and Brasil might be much better.
Regardless of politics, U.S. and Brasillian entrepreneurs have never had any problem, other than that caused by taxes and the differences in monetary exchange rates, in doing business together for profit…

Petrobras, the 800 Pound Brasilian Gorilla You Never Saw Coming

According to Petrobras itself, it’s the 4th largest energy company in the world and the 8th largest company in the whole world as judged by market value. And most likely, you never even heard of them.
Petrobras is a complete energy company. It has its Brasilian hands not only in the business of extracting the oil, but also refining it, and working with all the byproducts produced by the distillation of oil as well. They perform in an integrated manner in exploration and production; downstream; trade, transportation and petrochemicals; derivative distribution; natural gas; biofuels, and electric energy.
They have upwards of 100 production platforms, 16 refineries, 30,000 kilometers of pipelines and more than 6,000 service stations. Their proven reserves are around 14 billion barrels of oil, a figure expected to double in the next few years. With the discovery of oil and gas in the pre-salt region, Brazil may become the world’s fourth biggest oil producer in 2030.
Petrobras, however, made its name in the area of ultra deep water drilling. Never a subject of much interest before, now whenever deep water is mentioned, all eyes turn to the speaker. Whereas the British Petroleum oil rig that exploded in the Gulf of Mexico was operating at 5,000 ft, Petrobras has rigs ordered that will let them push down to 10,000 feet before their drill bit ever touches the mud on the sea floor.
Unlike you may have heard, Petrobras is not strictly working only in Brasil. They also have oil interests in the Cascade and Chinook fields. This is a region located some 180 miles south of Louisiana in 8530 feet of water. They own 100% of the Cascade and 66% of the Chinook. They have rights elsewhere in the Gulf of Mexico, and are actively pinging for more oil in the whole region. Their goal with the Gulf of Mexico is to ensure mid and long term growth.
What does the United States get out of the produce of Petrobras working in the Gulf of Mexico? Nothing.

Petrobras and U.S. Refining

Petrobras also has her Brasilian hands into the U.S. refining sector. In December 2008, Petrobras America took over full control of operations at Pasadena Refinery System Inc. (PRSI), strategically located on the Houston Ship Channel with 100,000 barrel per day refining capacity. This is one more step towards the international goals in Petrobras’ Strategic Plan.
Back home, Petrobras has what it calls “downstream” activities. The main products that come out of their refineries are diesel fuel, liquefied petroleum gas, gasoline, lubricants, naphtha, fuel oil, and aviation fuel. In 2007 their domestic refineries production numbers were up and they were producing 1.8 million barrels of oil derivatives a day. Oil production without refinery capability is useless, as other countries, notably, Iran, has found out. Petrobras offers the complete solution for Brasil’s needs and future exports too.
Petrobras, ever the nature nuts, have led the way in making biofuel pay. Not content with cachaca powered vehicles, they also came out with working bio diesel fuels based on things like castor beans, cotton, peanuts, denedê oil, sunflower seeds, and soybeans, in addition to alternatives feedstock such as animal fat, oil used to fry foods and residual fat. Their thinking is that the more bio fuel they are able to make and use, the fatter Brasil’s bank account will become by exporting the good stuff.
In their own way, Petrobras has done some remarkably American things, partnering with the peasants. It’s a thing no longer done in the United States, but from time to time in history, necessity made neighbors of the haves and have nots. Hershey, Pennsylvania comes to mind.
In Brasil, Petrobras has signed papers with representatives of ordinary farmers for the supply of oleaginous plants. Their goal is to work with 80,000 families residing in the regions surrounding the plants, by signing long-term agreements, guaranteeing fair prices, distributing seeds and providing technical assistance, in addition to offering an initial program for soil correction.
A famous American once tried a partnership arrangement in Brasil. His name was Henry Ford. From 1928 to 1946, his men worked a couple of rubber plantations they had established in the Amazon, called, Fordlandia, for the express purpose of growing rubber trees. His town failed. But then, he wasn’t Brasilian, and Petrobras is.
For now, Petrobras keeps her aces face up, in the form of the deep continental shelf off Brasil. Between the oil, which has been found and exploited, and what is known to exist, and what has not been discovered in the old mud at the bottom of her seas, Petrobras will be producing for a long long time. More, you probably haven’t heard of oil production onshore in Brasil either, but it is there. Petrobras is pulling 210,000 barrels of oil and 17.9 million cubic meters of gas per day.
It looks like things just keep turning up roses for Petrobras, the oil giant you never heard of. Why then, they would feel compelled to invite George Soros to the party remains a mystery. The possible connection between Obama and Soros and Petrobras is even more deeply in shadow.

Things are afoot, and one day, Deus (God) willing, as they say down south, the truth will be known.

Glenn Beck, again, on Monday June 21 presented copious circumstantial evidence that there is a connection between president Barack Obama, American billionaire George Soros, the drilling moratorium in the Gulf of Mexico, and Brazilian powerhouse oil giant, Petrobras.

Earlier, on June 17, 2010 Beck laid out the initial fruits of his research. He said on his television show that as of December 2009, it was known that Soros had a stake in Petrobras to the tune of $900 million American dollars, this, just days before the Obama administration made a $2 billion dollar loan to Petrobras. For what, we don’t know. The question about the $2 billion had been asked of the White House press spokesman Robert Gibbs back in 2009. He said he’d check into it and get back with the correspondent. If he did, the correspondent never reported the answer.

The August 18th, 2009 edition of the Wall Street Journal first reported the $2 billion dollar loan, and little more has been printed or learned since then as to its purpose. The loan was said to be the first of more. Figures of at least a total of $10 billion have been batted around the internet. Beck says that this money goes to fund a Petrobras 5 year plan to spend $200 billion in deep water offshore drilling.

The inevitable conclusion that one must reach, if all the information is correct is that there is something slick going on, because:

• George Soros funds what has been described as the ultra leftist mirror image of the right wing Heritage Foundation, called the Center for American Progress
• The Center for American Progress has provably given Obama a great deal of advice, which Beck says he took.
• Soros is a far left character who openly says that capitalism (the thing that made him rich) has failed, and must be replaced by something else.
• It is reported that Soros has invested $900 million with Brazilian Petrobras, and days later Obama makes a $2 billion dollar loan with the promise of at least $8 billion more.
• After the oil incident in the gulf, Obama institutes a ban on offshore drilling, against the wishes of nearly everyone, which means the drill rigs stationed around the Gulf will leave the United States for other places, Brazil, chief among them, and the financial crisis of the oil rig workers in the South will become permanent, as the rigs won’t be coming back.
• Soros stands to be the big winner as Petrobras will become much more profitable with the promise of more drilling rigs.

Again, if the conclusion indicated by the facts is true, then this is the most monstrous thing done against the American people by a sitting president. It is historical, not only nationally, but internationally, in its diabolicalness. While all the evidence of the Obama/Soros connection is purely circumstantial, it should be noted that circumstantial evidence has hung many a man in the United States and is perfectly acceptable in any court in the land. Even the court of public opinion.

This is a public service announcement that employees of Petrobras may have seen in Brazil. (In the local lingo xixi which sounds like she-she actually means pee pee.) Responsible eco people like Algore are urged to pee pee in the shower to save precious toilet water.
