A Crashing Left Step Deftly … Rather, Daftly Taken

Quote Freely From The Article – Leave The Pseudonym Alone

If you read today’s Wall Street Journal opinion article by Mary Anastasia O’Grady regarding the latest change of government for Honduras and a Reuters article by Arshad Mohammed and David Alexander posted on May 29th regarding the same subject, you will see how thoroughly the United States under this administration, has aligned itself with thugs and communist dictators.

The lean toward the left has taken a severe path toward the ultimate end of this country as we know it. With allies like Clinton and Obama, how can Venezuela’s Chavez, Nicaragua’s Ortega and Cuba’s Castro and sundry other despots south of our border, fail to win ground toward the decline of our Republic and all of Central and South America. Perhaps the gang of five (count them) has raised its hammer and sickle holding claws in solidarity and we are seeing the first instance of the United States exporting  …  not democracy, but communism.

Lenin must be spinning in his grave with great glee.

Well, because the numbers for everything were so overwhelming and the details so detailed, that it has taken some time to wrap everything together. We can say right off the bat that this year’s Valley View Christian Church’s (VVCC) father’s day  sixth annual car show was successful beyond anyone’s dreams.

To begin, those on the committee started meetings to plan for the show about three months prior to the show. Sponsors, supplies, prizes, donations and special equipment had to be

procured in order to be prepared ahead of the event date. The committee was headed by Tony and Audrey Jaramillo (they have done so since the show’s inception) and the other members consisted of volunteers from VVCC. Each year, proceeds from the show go to an Edgewood area charitable organization. What makes this show and the funds raised unique is that there are no entrance fees, no admittance fees and no fees for food and drink. The funds raised are proceeds from the silent auction and donations.

This year, at best count, between 2500 and 3000 visitors and entrants were able to enjoy 220 free breakfast burritos, 2200 free hot dogs, chips, brownies, assorted cookies, water and soda; all served by eager and smiling volunteers from VVCC. In addition free games for the young ones, along with free music from great bands helped to round out the events. Most important and the driving force behind the success of the show was the great number of cars and other motor vehicles entered. A total of 210 official entries were arrayed over the grounds of VVCC, making 2009′s show the most successful to date.

This year there were over 140 prizes and awards for entrants and two special memorial awards for John Wirsenski and Larry Jaramillo, both vicitims of motor vehicle accidents. The winner of the memorial trophy represented by Larry Jaramillo (Tim Meeks) presented the trophy back to Larry’s mother, Ms. Josie Jaramillo.

This year’s charity beneficiary is Walkin’ N Circles Ranch, Inc. This organization received $3222 which will help to continue their very worthwhile endeavors. Please visit their website by clicking on their name and consider becoming a member and/or a contributor.

There were many great sponsors, with two of particular note being Ron Richard of Sears in Edgewood and Joe Maggi of San Pedro Rock, north of Edgewood. Because of the great sponsors, participants, attendees and volunteers the show next year will likely be even larger. Everyone from VVCC wishes to thank every guest and desires your presense at next year’s father’s day car show. God Bless each of you!

Wife Pleads Guilty — After Husband Drops Investigation Of Nuts

Quote Freely From The Article – Leave The Pseudonym Alone

The saying goes, “Politics makes strange bedfellows.” It would be just as well to say, “Bedfellows make strange politics.”  With Representative John Conyers Jr’s’ (D-MICH) wife, Monica Conyers, who is president pro tem of the Detroit City Council pleading guilty yesterday to one count of receiving a bribe,  John must be experiencing an elephantine epiphany. Things must be falling from the sky like A.C.O.R.N.s from an oak tree and knocking his noggin somewhat. So much so, that he has dropped his inquiry into the nuts at  A.C.O.R.N.

Mr. Conyers, according to reports, has been a staunch supporter of A.C.O.R.N. Therefore; it came as a surprise to many, when he offered to let his house committee investigate allegations regarding voter fraud and other potential violations lodged at A.C.O.R.N. and an even greater surprise when he announced he was shutting the investigation down, just  one day before his wife entered a plea of guilty to the above referenced charge.

What caused Mr. Conyers to stop his process?  Why, none other than the “powers that be.”  Sounds logical, or does it?  I guess we’ll just have to wait for the next shoe nut to drop.

Is There An Apology Waiting In The Wings

Quote Freely From The Article – Leave The Pseudonym Alone

Readers will recall that we touched on what some termed the Edgewood Mayor’s preposterous behavior during the last Edgewood Town Council meeting. Now both local newspapers, The Mountain View Telegraph and The Independent (scroll to page 3) have mentioned his actions in less than favorable light. People I have talked to, who were present to witness the mayor’s less than stellar performance, feel cheated and insulted and wonder what might be down the pike, should the mayor be handed additional pressure he has difficulty accepting. For the sake of Edgewood and whatever favorable impression it might still have, we call on the mayor to make a public apology to the citizens of Edgewood and others present during the meeting.

After all, Mr. Stearley was elected mayor … not monarch.

According to Rueters, some Democrat lawmakers are asking Fannie Mae (FM) and Freddie Mac (FM2) to relax underwriting rules on some condominiums. The lawmakers? One of them, is well acquainted with interference in FM’s and FM2′s operations, having been to a large degree, responsible for the falter that almost caused both organizations to cave. Representative Barney Frank (D-Mass) is the no common sense fool that has again come forward to flex the muscle between his ears in an attempt to get onboard another train to financial hell. This may be  Anthony Weiner’s (D-NY) first attempt to board the money train … could be the train was full of ignorant Democrats the first pass through the monetary raping fields.

Quite a quartet to bank on.  You can read a story about the idiocy of this new effort here Barney, Tony, Freddie & Tony

Bits and Pieces — Quibbles, Too

Quote Freely From The Article – Leave The Pseudonym Alone

“An association of men who will not quarrel with one another is a thing which has never yet existed, from the greatest confederacy of nations down to a town meeting or a vestry.”

Thomas Jefferson

We say Quibbles, not to be confused with Kibbles® which is part of a registered trademark.  Anyway, the last several days have been filled with bull butter episodes that make little sense and serve only to build silly politicians up. Exceptions would be the positive action taken or expressed by some Edgewood Town Councilors at Wednesday’s council meeting. Let’s start with the first quibble and then continue to a couple more.

I have it from several reliable sources, that Tuesday evening, the President of the Moriarty – Edgewood School District Board, Phil Anaya, and Edgewood Mayor Bob Stearley participated in what seemed to amount to a star chamber dog and pony show, or worse, a medieval inquisition. What appeared to be a set-up by Anaya occurred when he asked Stearley, who seemed to be eagerly waiting for his cue, if there was to be a resolution introduced at Wednesday’s  Edgewood Town Council meeting. When Stearley answered in the affirmative, Anaya asked if Stearley had the resolution with him; to which Stearley replied in the affirmative, pulling what was assumed to be the resolution from one of his pockets. The inquisitor (Anaya) then asked his co-conspirator (Stearley) if he knew who authored the resolution; to which Stearley replied that Audrey Jaramillo wrote the resolution.  Altogether, this appeared to some to be an exercise in pettiness, the sole purpose of which was to attempt to embarrass, or perhaps chastise,  Ms. Jaramillo, a fellow board member of Anaya’s. In any event, Ms. Jaramillo, being the consummate professional, refused to be browbeaten by the clown party bat.

In yesterday’s Mountain View Telegraph, in an article written by Lee Ross Click here Mr. Anaya is quoted as saying, among other confusing utterances, that Ms. Jaramillo’s involvement as a volunteer in Edgewood and her position on the school board are in conflict. One has to wonder if Mr. Anaya’s run for a seat on the Edgewood Town Council in the past, while he still held a position on the school board,  might have been a conflict then and hypocritical now. Stearly has commented about the “Eloquent” manner of  Anaya’s words during the discussion of the resolution  …  others attending the board meeting have commented that Anaya’s actions were rude and childish. It would be nice if Anaya and his fellow board members could give thought about how their actions play to the public. It seems that now might be the time for all board members to work together for the benefit of ALL constituents. After all, part of Edgewood is in Anaya’s district.
