Maybe The Schools Are Better In Central America?

Michelle Obama shows her deep respect for the working women of America while rolling out the new proposed food labels:

And back when we first launched Let’s Move four years ago, all of us here today were driven by a simple belief:  that parents deserve to have the information they need to make healthy choices for their kids.  And this isn’t a particularly radical idea; in fact, it seems pretty obvious.  But the truth is that too often, it’s nearly impossible to get the most basic facts about the food we buy for our families.

For example, how many of you have at some point in your life made a statement that you were going to eat better?  Maybe you wanted to lose a little weight, maybe you wanted to improve your family’s nutrition, maybe there were health issues in your family that required you to watch what you ate.  Whatever the reason, you resolved to read those labels and only buy foods that you believed would be good for you and your kids.  So you marched into the supermarket, you picked up a can or a box of something, you squinted at that little tiny label, and you were totally and utterly lost. 

So there you stood, alone in some aisle in a store, the clock ticking away at the precious little time remaining to complete your weekly grocery shopping, and all you could do was scratch your head, confused and bewildered, and wonder, is there too much sugar in this product?  Is 50 percent of the daily allowance of riboflavin a good thing or a bad thing?  And how on Earth could this teeny little package contain five whole servings? 

This stream of questions and worries running through your head when all you really wanted to know was, should I be eating this or not?  Is this good for my kids or not?  And if it is healthy, how much of it should I be eating?  But unless you had a thesaurus, a calculator, a microscope, or a degree in nutrition, you were out of luck.  So you felt defeated, and you just gave up and went back to buying the same stuff you always buy.

So let's see, here's a bag of potato chips and there's a bag of carrots.  Tough call... Best to just go with the cookies (I blame the Keebler elves.)

For whatever it's worth, parents in Central America are not so helpless when it comes to bettering their children's lives. Mickey notes an Eerie Coincidence:

The Surge:  Obama gives executive “deferred action” amnesty to young illegal immigrants (“DREAMers”) and suddenly there’s a surge of young illegals from Central America crossing the border. So weird!  It’s almost as if the two events are somehow connected. …

Michelle Obama is a product of the SHITCAGO school system that Ayers and his ilk and the unions have been dominating since she was a high schooler.

Add this address to the other embarrassing things liberals do to ironically personify their goals.

I'd call this another own goal.

Yesterday via Lyle's link we learned the following bit of Science:

Global Warming Will Cause 180,000 More Rapes by 2099

That surprised me because the greatest amount of Rapes in America currently occur, not in our warmest States, but in our coldest State---Alaska.

Here's a few headlines from this month:

Juneau Empire (Oct 1013) Alaska, unfortunately, leads the country per capita in incidents of domestic violence as well as rape and the physical and sexual abuse of children and young people.

Juneau Empire (oct 2004) Alaska leads U.S. in violence against women

National Coalition against Domestic Violence: The Alaska rape rate is 2.5 times the national average.

Alaska Justice Forum: Alaska has the highest rate of forcible rape reported to law enforcement out of all U.S states..the average Alaska rate was 2.6 times higher, the average Anchorage rate was 2.9 times higher, and the average Fairbanks rate was 5.0 times higher.

And here's this months Marie Claire: Rape in Alaska: 'Lawless' Areas of the Last Frontier State Lead to Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault

And what is the first reason listed as the reason for so many Rapes in Alaska:

"There are many reasons Alaska's rates of violence against women are thought to be so high—from the long, dark winters...

So not to make fun of a sad topic, but how come, if Rape is most prevalent in the coldest state in the US and the reason it is so prevalent is because of cold, long winters, why would reducing the coldness and the length of cold long winters suddenly lead to increased rates of Rape?

All the evidence tells us exactly the opposite---less winter, less cold, less rape.

[Threadkiller]

Mr. Speaker:Two weeks ago, President Obama visited the drought-stricken Central Valley of California.  He announced his administration’s response: he wants to spend another billion dollars to study climate change.

I can save him the trouble.  The planet has been warming – on and off – since the last ice age, when glaciers covered much of North America.  The climate has been changing since the planet formed, often much more abruptly than it has in recent millennia.  Until the earth begins moving into its next ice age, we can reasonably expect it to continue to warm.  That will mean less water can be stored in snow packs and therefore more will need to be stored behind dams.

There, I just saved a billion dollars.

Everyone thinks that the Colorado River is the mother lode of all water in the Western United States, but the Colorado is a junior sister to the mighty Sacramento River system.  The difference is that we store 70 million acre feet of water on the Colorado and only 10 million acre feet on the Sacramento.

Droughts are nature’s fault and they are beyond our control.  WATER SHORTAGES, on the other hand, are OUR FAULT.

We have not built major water storage on the Sacramento system since 1979 because of opposition from the environmental left, and most recently from this administration...

EPA to protect Bristol Bay salmon fishery in move that could lead to Pebble mine veto

A federal agency (The EPA) announced Friday it is taking steps to protect the Bristol Bay sockeye salmon fishery, the largest in the world, under the Clean Water Act that could lead to a virtually unprecedented administrative veto of the proposed Pebble mine even before developers formally submit plans.

I personally don't know the answer but there's this:

Republican political leaders including Gov. Sean Parnell, U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski and Rep. Don Young have faulted even the whisper of a veto as extreme "federal overreach."

While Dem Senator Begich mouthed this fluff:

U.S. Sen. Mark Begich, who has called Pebble the wrong mine in the wrong place, on Friday said he too was concerned about "federal overreach from an administration that has already demonstrated it does not understand Alaska's unique needs."

"The residents of Bristol Bay and Alaska Peninsula need certainty to plan their future and I will be making sure the administration does not take any actions that could have unintended consequences down the road for this region or other development projects in Alaska," Begich said in a statement.

Basically Begich said nothing. He is very good at saying nothing.

Did that link not work? Trying again:

This is a hell of a speech. Another excerpt:

Because of radical environmental regulations, 800,000 acre feet of desperately needed water – that’s a one acre column of water 150 miles deep --was drained from Shasta, Oroville and Folsom lakes last fall – knowing full well that we were heading into a potentially catastrophic drought.

So Begich isn't much help on a mine that has the potential of employing thousands and creating enormous wealth for the state, but look how quick he jumps on the announcement of the closure of a Golf Course on an Anchorage Military Base:

Military officials said Thursday they may close one of the three golf courses on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, saying the courses are under-used and losing money.

Sen. Mark Begich's office said it is urging JBER officials to find a way to keep Eagleglen open and to involve the public as it explores options, including the possibility of leasing or selling Eagleglen to a non-profit entity.

On his facebook page he said he's already been wrestling with this Golf Course closing for 2 weeks.

[Captain Hate]

He told me he thought Russia was more free than the US. I had to think about it.

No way. The institutions are still in place that a big win in both houses of Congress can begin stalemating the JEF from doing any more damage. But the last five years have been very bad by any standard.

Michelle is definitely correct. How could one possibly figure out, without Michelle O approved labelling, whether a dinner of asparagus, sweet potatoes and baked chicken is a more balanced meal than than Coke and Fritos? Come to think of that, how did those 19th century western migration pioneers decide what to hunt and grow for food without Michelle O approved labelling?

CH,

I would prefer Congress to put out a continuous flow of legislation putting BOzo and the Progressive Fascists on the back foot right through 2016. The GOP Congress better have a tax cut plan handy for the recession which is brewing as well. Mitigating further damage by BOzo is important but going on offense is, IMO, more important.

I bravely went to the grocery store today too, and bought bananas and apples a birthday card, making those decisions without a label on any of the items.

I usual go to our local Publix every day. Buy fresh is my motto.

But I have noticed the apprehension, anxeity and doubt in certain female shoppers especially in the dairy aisle. So many yoghurt choices. You have Greek Yoghurt - 2 or 3 brands - whole milk, low fat and zero fat all in multiple flavors, some pretty exotic. Then you have the traditional yoghurts by mutiple producers including the one with fibre in it.

I once watched a young mother with her 2 year old in tow spend at least 2 minutes trying to decide between Chobani Pear Yoghurt and Activa Vanilla with fibre. All the while the little guy was playing with the carrots in the cart.

This is serious stuff and the sooner we deal with the psychosis of grocery shopping we can move on to what to do with Iran's nuclear program or healthcare.

daddy,

Regarding the golf courses at Elmendorf. There have been some very successful privatizations of military golf courses. Two great examples are the Presidio, where I was a member when living in San Francisco, and the two great courses at Ft. Ord. The Bayonet course at Ft. Ord is often mentioned as a potential US Open venue. It is one of the hardest golf courses in the world (believe me).

Arnold Palmer Golf runs the Presidio and I think Bill Casper Golf has the Bayonet. Of course, you can play both of those year round and they are in population centers versus the same condition at Elmendorf. But when I think about it, why not deed that course to Obama so he can have a well deserved retirement hobby in Alaska:)

I wonder if he has ever played golf on snowshoes?

[Janet - the districts lie fallow, while the Capitol gorges itself]

--If I were asked the following question -- with which woman do you want to spend time in the jacuzzi:--

Well TC, we're talking two different questions.
One is a practical one of who would it be nice to share a jacuzzi with.
The other is a more theoretical one of what constitutes the ideal girl.

In my own particular case, having already experienced the ideal for real for quite a few years I guess I've become a girl snob.
Wait that didn't sound right.....a snobby girl.
