Hey Barack, Joe and Janet, DUHHHH!!!!!!

First we have the dumbest man in the senate in Joe Biden with his gaffe after gaffe after gaffe and the media just laughs at him and covers for him naturally. The latest being his speech before CEO's of the auto industry when they said that sales this year were less bad than last year and his reply was "Less bad is not good. Less bad is not good. Less bad is better than more bad, but it still ain't good." WHAAATTTT???? To hear him say it is funnier than reading it.

Next we have the Ft. Hood massacre where this muslim officer killed a dozen soldiers and wounded others before being struck down and Obama says we have to be careful not to jump to conclusions. Not jump to conclusions??? This guy gave a speech before agroup of military psychiatrists and fellow officers where he said, "Infidels' heads should be chopped off and their mouths filled with boiling oil." He spoke out against the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and counseled soldiers against going to them. He was a muslim and hated America and massacred our soldiers and we're not supposed to jump to conclusion? Instead of admonishing him or transferring him, the PC crowd said "Oh this is interesting. We can learn from what he's saying. " Well because of that kind of lib thinking twelve soldiers are now dead and we're not supposed to jump to conclusions. Hey Barack baby DUHHHHH!!!!

Next we have this Nigerian guy whose father is a high ranking official in Nigeria and warns the U..S. embassy there about his son may be planning an attack. He's on the terror watch list along with 500,000 others, gets on a plane with no passport, no baggage, a one way ticket he paid for in cash with explosives sewed into his underwear ,sets off a bomb on the plane and nobody saw the signs? If it wasn't for the fact that the bomb failed and the quick actions of that Swedish film maker who jumped over several seats and doused the flames with his hands and held the guy in a choke hold until the police arrived, everyone on that plane might have been killed. Then Homeland Security head Janet Napolitano said the system worked. WHAAATTTT???? The system didn't work. She later said she was taken out of context. What context? It was plain and simple. She said she meant to say the system worked with all the increased security after the incident. Hey Janet DUHHHH!!!! This is the same woman who said it is not a war on terror but man made disasters. What an idiot!!! Obama referred to the jihadist as a suspect. I guess when you have flames coming out of your thighs you are just a suspect. Again Obama is protecting his own just like in Ft.Hood. Now he's saying a lot of red flags were missed. Hey Barack do ya' think???? DUHHHHH

The Radio City Christmas Show

This past Dec.14th my wife and I attended the Christmas Show at Radio City in New York City. It was a packaged deal we signed up for earlier with dinner at our favorite restaurant and the show. A bus took us and brought us back. After a scrumptious meal as always,we got on the bus and a representative from the restaurant told us to not go to the tree at Rockefeller Center because the bus would leave right after the show. We almost missed the bus, but more on that later.

This is our third time seeing the show. Each time they keep some routines and always add new ones which we noticed this year. The show opens with a special 3-D cartoon of Santa leaving the North Pole. You are in his sleigh with him and the reindeer's tails and rear ends face you as they bob up and down as you fly away in the sleigh. A polar bear throws a snowball at the sleigh and you hear a loud THUD as Santa lets out with a hearty HO HO HO. The sleigh passes some geese flying and one looks straight at you, his bill just inches from your nose. Santa flies around the statue of liberty throwing lights and tinsel around her and flies under the Brooklyn Bridge and up around it above the Empire State Building throwing wreaths and brightly wrapped packages out at you. He lands in front of Radio City and comes out on stage dancing with the Rockettes and welcomes everyone to the show.

One of my favorite routines is the March of the Wooden Soldiers. The Rockettes come out dressed as the wooden soldiers doing precision dancing and formations to the famous Wooden Soldier March. They even do the famous X shaped formation. At the end of the routine they all line up in back of one another. A cannon comes out and shoots a flag that says BOOM on it in big red letters as they all lock arms and fall ever so slowly down on top of one another, the last one landing on a soft mattress placed there for him.
A new routine features the Rockettes on a tour bus. It's double decker red bus and the rockettes are dressed in white. The Bus is in front of a huge screen with a picture of Radio City. The picture moves and the bus turns and twirls with the wheels moving giving the impression they are riding down the streets of New York. It's very realistic and you can feel the movement as if you were actually riding down the street with them. Fireworks and streamers shoot out high above you and softly come down on top of you. It was totally unexpected and fun though the young woman in front of me appeared slightly annoyed as she unraveled the streamers from her. :D

Another clever dance routine is the dancing Santas. About two rows of real Rockettes dressed as Santa appear and on the screen many more appear all in formation and perfectly choreographed to give the impression there are hundreds of them. Very intricate and clever as well as entertaining.

The close of the show features the famous living nativity scene featuring the birth of Christ and all the shepherds, three wise men, angels and Mary and Joseph and the manger on a high rock pedestal. It's very chilling and inspirational and all the animals are real from sheep to camels and donkeys. The costumes are brightly colored and the light shining behind Mary and Joseph is totally breath taking.

The show started at 8 p.m. and was over at 9:30 p.m. After visiting the restrooms we walked back to the bus only to find him moving. My wife thought he was moving because the cop told him to move since there were other busses there blocking traffic. I wasn't so sure and ran waving my arms and yelling. Some people on the bus saw me and told the driver to stop. We got on and it was only about 9:45. One man on the bus said they should take a count and he did. There were 42 passengers and only 36 on the bus and three of the missing passengers were nuns. The guy said he would go out and find them. He did find them and they were elderly nuns too. The other three were all senior citizens too. New York City blocks are long too. We wondered how the other people got on the bus so soon after the show was over. After everyone was accounted for we all had a safe trip home. If you never saw the show I would highly recommend it. It's world famous and they have it every year through Jan.1st.

This is a frightening piece of legislation. If this passes the U.S. officially enters into an "Orwellian" state. If I voiced my feelings on this, I'd get banned from this site. So I'll just say continue to call, e-mail, contact your Reps, and Senators constantly and tell them to vote against this bill. What if I don’t want a National Health ID card? And this is why Obama, Pelosi, Waxman, et al wanted to rush Obamacare through congress before anybody had a chance to read it. Contact your congressman and your two senators today!
