John Edwards can’t keep his pants zipped up, either.

Are they all like Bill Clinton and the kennedys, or what?

Rielle Hunter Blackout - Moonbattery

As people were watching the Edwards going through their time of strife with Mrs. Edwards’ bout with cancer, Silky Pony was off sexually consoling himself with a blonde bomshell named Rielle Hunter. This relationship bore a love child, yet you could hea r a pin drop on this subject as far as the MSM is concerned. Could it be because John Edwards is in the running for Obama’s veep choice that we hear NOTHING ON THIS?

Obama the crack cocaine smoking candidate who’s alleged to have homosexual relationships and have some connection to the Donald Young murder, and Silky Pony, who can’t keep it in his pants, either. It’s a match made in hell.

But not to worry; the stories are not only similar, the MSM is toting water for them in both cases.

Obama won’t come clean about Larry Sinclair and smoking crack cocaine in the back of a limo in 1999 even though he said in his books and elsewhere that he’d stopped doing cocaine in his college days. Questioning his truthfulness and Edwards’ integrity should be done; in addition to imagining what kind of president Obama would be (not to mention an Obama/Edwards ticket).

Just consider how long Obama’s managed to get along in a marriage to a woman when he’s allegedly been on the down low for –quite a long time. Would he be able to juggle that many balls in the air as president?

And what about Silky Pony?

God help us.

I need a better camera

Filed under: General , my photographs @ 4:57 pm

I thought I might get a little closer to these cormorant guys to get a closer shot, being that my little camera doesn’t have much of a zoom capability. Lately I’ve been getting more and more frustrated with the fact that I have limited ZOOM…because all my favorite subjects are too fast, and I’d like to get them close up. I can’t sneak up on them, that’s for sure…because by the time I got down to where I would have gotten a better shot all of these guys had flown away.

And it didn’t happen just today, either.

Man this shot would have been awesome if I’d had more ZOOM.

I pass this little place where there are numerous herons and egrets, every day - sometimes TWICE a day. What I’ve been able to tell from far away and the pictures that I’ve taken so far, is that there are great blue herons, there are white or snowy egrets, and then there is some big brown bird that appears to be some kind of a brown egret. It showed up really well the other day when I tried to sneak up and it started to fly away.

Eventually you’ll see shots that have a lot more detail; when I get the new camera.

There are quite a few other picture adventures I’ve been on lately; one of them was to go and see the tiny little castle in nearby Elgin, Illinois, called “Pratt’s” castle. I tripped out there one day when it was raining because my curiosity had gotten the better of me. I wanted to know if it was difficult to get to, as someone had written that it was hidden very well. It is on the fox river, but I was surprised at how nearby it is.

I wanted to get a look at it from the river side, but I guess the only way I’m going to be able to do that, is to go out on a boat.

I didn’t want to disturb the guy who owns the place, I was just very intrigued that such a building could go for so long without someone trying to upgrade it or live in it. It apparently had no running water or electricity, and at one point had a moat and a drawbridge.

The tower is 50 feet tall, and it’s nestled between some unassuming houses.

Years and years ago, apparently, somewhere in the 30’s, a fellow named “Pratt” here in Elgin, brought it over from Scotland or some such place. I found an article on the web about it, which said it is a Dutch “Hold”. But the neighbor that I spoke with said it was brought here by Pratt from Scotland. Regardless, it is a fascinating and romantic looking structure.

It really was beautiful through the mist that day.

I couldn’t help but wonder what it’s like on the inside. To the left and slightly behind the tower, almost completely covered by shrubbery, is another door. This little place is a part of the history of the area, but the structure is difficult to find and not very well-known.

Flight 93 Memorial Meeting August 2nd

Filed under: Flight 93 , Grassroots , Terrorism and Islam @ 8:02 am

The clarion call has been sounded; if you can possibly make it to Somerset Pennsylvania to voice your opposition to the construction of the Flight 93 Memorial as planned, please do.

See the post I put up at Free Republic, referring to AJStrata’s call to get people to Pennsylvania on August 2nd.

If you are within weekend traveling distance, please consider joining Tom Burnett Sr. in Somerset PA on August 2nd. If you get there early enough for the Memorial Project’s public meeting (10AM-1PM) you can sign up to speak. We will rally in the afternoon on Saturday, and visit the crash-site Sunday.

We are hoping to get a significant number of people there.

Because of time constraints and the expense of the trip from Illinois, I’m not sure if I’ll be there at this point. When I was trying to shop fares, there were no specifics around when and where; and I need to plan those things in advance to take advantage of discounted airfare rates.

I’ll still be investigating this; but it feels late in the game for me to pony up $1,000 for airfare, lodging, food, and miscellaneous. Most certainly a trip to the memorial site would be in order; Alec Rawls is investigating opening up the second parking lot that is usually closed in order to accommodate more vehicles, since the other parking lot is rather small.

But I understand Pam Geller from Atlas Shrugs plans on being there, and should be bringing a contingent along with her.

Here’s Pam’s post on thie meeting in Pensylvania on August 2nd.
