Well, we are all still here, I think. Anyone missing? Anyone poofed up in the sky?
No triple crown winner again this year. Animal Kingdom was beated by 3/4ths length by a horse named Shackleford a fine looking chestnut stallion.
And then there was Joplin, Missouri. Wolverine broke the story here. Mrs. W. has relatives and the Wolverine family got a frightening phone call Sunday night. An entire city was wiped off the face of the earth. Over 100 killed and 1500 missing.
New candidates in PWC from vpap.org. Now, if ALL of our supervisors had challengers. I agree the more the MERRIER!!! This is going to be an interesting election year to say the least. Not only do all of the board members need challengers, we encumbents AND challengers that are committed to serving the FULL four year term. Running off in the middle of your term and causing a special election is a cost the county residents do NOT need.

The black velvet blogmeister needs to brush up on his offensive language list.
‘Queer Propoganda’ is offensive.
Urban dictionary:
In other words, you have to be one to use the expression ‘queer.’
Democracy in Egypt! Hope and Change!
New Nazi party is formed in Egypt. http://www.jpost.com/MiddleEast/Article.aspx?id=222367
The report cited founding member Emad Abdel Sattar as saying that party “believes in vesting all powers in the president after selecting him or her carefully,” and that “preparations are underway to choose the most competent person to represent the party.”
Yep…those peace loving Egyptians just want peace and liberty.
Egypt has gone from an American ally to something else……and its leaning towards enemy.
Who cares about Afghanistan! The jihadists are taking entire countries now.
Cargo, broad brushing….
I would say that like America, Egypt has some undesirable factions. I feel certain the entire country isn’t comrpised of brownshirts.
Of course, the Muslim Brotherhood has Nazi foundations mixed with wahabbism.

The history of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Al-Banna and Nazism: from http://www.mideastweb.org/Middle-East-Encyclopedia/hassan_al-banna.htm
The growth of the Muslim Brotherhood was accompanied or caused in part by the fact that Al-Banna associated it with the German Nazi party and the Third Reich. From the ideological point of view, the Jew hatred, authoritarianism, addiction to violence and desire to defeat the British of both the Muslim Brothers and the Nazis were quite enough to make the two movements find common cause.
The Brotherhood�s political and military alliance with Nazi Germany blossomed into formal state visits, de facto ambassadors, and overt and covert joint ventures. The Muslim Brotherhood transformed Nazi anti-Semitism into a Muslim version, providing Arab translations of Mein Kampf (translated into Arabic as �My Jihad�) and other Nazi anti-Semitic works, including Der Sturmer hate-cartoons, adapted to portray the Jew as the demonic enemy of Allah rather than the German Volk.
But….Glenn Beck is a nut for predicting this…….and the rest of those worried about the rise of jihadism are just bigots…….
NOTE: the ABOVE snarky comment does not apply to those on this blog, but to the mainstream media
@Moon-howler
Where’s the broad brushing? I never said anything about the entire country. I just reported that a Nazi party is forming or reforming and that the Muslim Brotherhood has ties to the Nazis and anti-semitism and violence.
The Jihadists ARE taking entire countries. The Muslim Brotherhood is a jihadist organization. By their own words, the nazi party has operated underground for years. The Elders of Zion and Mein Kampf have been best sellers in Egypt for years. Both the Egyptians and the Palestinians teach their children to hate Jews.
Not Israelis. Jews.
I predict war within 5 years. Total war. Possibly nuclear.
Wow
Have you heard about Sarah Palin’s movie? Titled “The Undefeated”.
Yep, that’s right “The Undefeated”!
@Punchak
Is that really the name? She brings ‘ victimization’ to a new low. Geez
Cargo has left us to go shoot machine guns for the weekend. Have a great trip[ Cargo.
@Moon-howler
Yes – and her “One Nation Tour” will hook up with the Rolling Thunder festivities in Wasington, either at the beginning or the end of said festivites.
That woman has more nerve than I don’t know who!
Boo-Hoo!
Sad story. Will Norton, the Joplin teenager driving home from his high school graduation and sucked through the sunroof of the family vehicle by the tornado, has been found dead in a pond only a half mile from his home. His dad remains hospitalized with severe arm and shoulder injuries received when he tried desperately to hold onto his son as the tornado struck them. The dad says that Will was reciting Bible verses from memory as the tornado took him away. Smart lad was Will. He was headed for the prestigious Chapman college in California in the Fall. R.I.P., Will. And prayers for his family.

May God be with them.
Not sure why the link doesn’t work – you can google the Joplin Globe –
some great editorials for a small good paper dealing with such a huge
terrible event.
(Was touched by”Pay It Forward” and how the staff of the Roanoke Times
sent a “care package” to Tuscaloosa’s paper that in turn sent one to Joplin.)
Looks like Sudley Manor is getting/gotten it’s own version of 10131 Lomond Dr. What’s going on there? That place looks like a fort.
@Laf
Are you speaking of the Jamestown fort parking lot?
Capt. John Smith and Pocahontas are partying hardy. No thumping so no cops were called, to my knowledge.
You got it! I saw a bunch out there looking ready to GO, at 10:30 am. Love the parking facilities right upto the property line. If I lived next door, I’d have to make sure there was NOT an encroachment. The property lines over there are not your traditional rectangular lots, since the court is right there. Just sayin….
@Laf, gotcha. Someone will have to tell me how to do that.
Don’t forget the Capital Memorial Day music show. It begins at 8 pm and is on PBS.
(you know, that station the Republicans want to defund.)
