Well, moms, grandmothers, daughters, granddaughters, and everyone else who will be up at the crack of dawn tomorrow to prepare for the Thanksgiving Feast... I'll be up with you!
(*GRIN*)
Friggin' snow... friggin' airlines... friggin' Wimptopia we live in...
(*SIGH*)
Had a GREAT ride scheduled for this morning. At 11:35 p.m. last night, though, I received a call from my client telling me her flight had been cancelled.
(*SIGH*)
Luckily... THANK GOD... she was able to rebook - leaving tomorrow morning instead. (Had she not been able to... that would have been a double hit for me... no flying out... means no flying back.)
So...
(*SIGH*)
I'll spend today looking out the window at the quite honestly LOVELY snow...
(Heading outside every couple hours or so to re-clean the car and re-shovel under my front tires to keep the path to a fast exit open...)
I'll blog...
School's closed - therefore gym classes are closed. HOWEVER... as long as the gym remains open through at least mid-evening I'll be able to go and do some "bike-work" after Mary (and Mary's car with the snow tires) gets home.
(Oh, yeah... OF COURSE Mary went to work! MOST people have to go to work "even when it snows.")
(*SNORT*)
Anyway... on to newsbiting!

Fury about Ferguson took over in Manhattan for the second night Tuesday, as protesters angry about the grand jury decision in Ferguson, Missouri first shut down an entrance to the Lincoln Tunnel during the evening rush Tuesday, then shut down both sides of the Franklin D. Roosevelt East River Drive.
Protesters took over both sides of the West Side Highway at 72nd Street late Tuesday and marched northward, despite efforts from police to keep them off.
As CBS2’s Tony Aiello reported, punches also flew between officers and at least one protester Tuesday night as one group of protesters gathered in Times Square.
* FIRST OF ALL, THERE SHOULD BE NO "FURY ABOUT FURGUSON." JUSTICE WAS CLEARLY SERVED. THE WILSON WAS THE GOOD GUY. BROWN WAS THE BAD GUY. FROM EVERYTHING WE KNOW THE SHOOTING WAS JUSTIFIED.
* FOLKS... THE MAJOR MEDIA ARE JUST AS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BEHAVIOR OF THE ANIMALS AS ARE THE OBAMAITES AND THE OTHER RACE HUSTLERS. LOOK AT THE WAY THEY FOLLOWED THE POLITICALLY CORRECT SCRIPT WITH MOST OF THEIR REPORTING... STOKING THE FIRES... CREATING HATE - OR AT LEAST JUSTIFYING IT.
* FOLKS... NOTICE... EVEN THE NY MEDIA DIDN'T OBSESS OVER THE SHUTTING DOWN OF THE LINCOLN TUNNEL AND OTHER PURPOSEFUL TRAFFIC DISRUPTIONS. (IMAGINE IF IT HAD BEEN TEA PARTY GROUPS RESPONSIBLE... DO YOU NOT SUPPOSE THE COVERAGE WOULD HAVE BEEN... er... MORE... er... OBSESSIVE?)

A prominent gay rights activist charged last week with sexually abusing a 15-year-old boy is a strong supporter of President Obama who has visited the White House more than a half-dozen times in the past two years, visitor logs show.
Terrence P. Bean, 66, who raised more than a half-million dollars for Mr. Obama’s re-election campaign in 2012, last visited the White House on May 30 when he met with the president, first lady Michelle Obama and political adviser David Simas.
White House visitor logs show that Mr. Bean, co-founder of the Human Rights Campaign, a leading gay rights group, also has visited the White House on at least six other occasions since June 2012. On one visit in 2013, Mr. Bean brought along Kiah Lawson, described in news reports as his ex-boyfriend, who is also charged with sexually assaulting the juvenile.
Authorities in Oregon charged Mr. Bean and Mr. Lawson last week with two counts of third-degree sodomy and one charge of third-degree sex abuse after his indictment by a Lane County grand jury indictment. Mr. Lawson, 25, was charged with two counts of third-degree sodomy and with third-degree sex abuse.
The White House had no comment on whether the president still considers Mr. Bean an ally. Some observers have credited Mr. Bean for helping to sway Mr. Obama into supporting same-sex marriage two years ago. “He has the president’s ear,” former Oregon Gov. Barbara Roberts once said of Mr. Bean.
Mr. Bean has been a member of the Democratic National Committee since at least 2009, and was appointed to the DNC’s budget and finance committee in August 2013 by Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
The Human Rights Campaign said that Mr. Bean has taken a leave of absence from the organization “until his issues are resolved.”
Mr. Bean’s lawyer, Kristen Winemiller, said he was the target of an extortion ring “led by several men known to law enforcement.” She said Mr. Bean is cooperating fully in the investigation in a probe by the Portland police department’s sex crimes unit.
“No allegations against Terry Bean should be taken at face value,” she said in a statement. “We look forward to the opportunity to clear his name.”
* FAIR ENOUGH...
* YES... YOU READ THAT RIGHT... "FAIR ENOUGH!"
Mr. Bean has been an influential supporter of Democratic candidates. Federal Election Commission records show that the real estate developer has contributed thousands of dollars to Democrats, including former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and outgoing Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada. He also has contributed to Republican candidates, including former Oregon Sen. Gordon Smith and former Rep. Jim Kolbe of Arizona, the first openly gay GOP lawmaker in Congress.
* FIRST I'M HEARING OF IT! (THAT KOLBE IS GAY, THAT IS!) (*GUFFAW*)
Mr. Bean has been photographed over the years with the Obamas and other prominent Democrats, and has been a guest of the president aboard Air Force One. At a 2009 Human Rights Campaign dinner, the president called Mr. Bean a “great friend and supporter.”
A local media story in Oregon from last June stated that Mr. Bean was paying the much younger Mr. Lawson a weekly allowance and brought him to high-profile events, including one at the White House where he met the president. The article in Willamette Week said Mr. Bean secretly filmed his sexual encounters with up to six individuals, including Mr. Lawson.
The newspaper said that when Mr. Lawson learned of the secret tapings earlier this year, he asked Mr. Bean for money.
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/nov/25/obama-amnesty-obamacare-clash-businesses-have-3000/
Under the president’s [unconstitutional] new amnesty, businesses will have a $3,000-per-employee incentive to hire illegal immigrants over native-born workers because of a quirk of ObamaCare.
* ARE... YOU... FUCKING... KIDDING... ME...?!?!
President Obama’s [unconstitutional] temporary amnesty, which lasts three years, declares up to 5 million illegal immigrants to be lawfully in the country and eligible for work permits, but it still deems them ineligible for public benefits such as buying insurance on ObamaCare's health exchanges.
(The loophole was confirmed by congressional aides...)
* OH... AND IT GETS WORSE...
Under the Affordable Care Act, that means businesses who hire them won’t have to pay a penalty for not providing them health coverage — making them $3,000 more attractive than a similar native-born worker, whom the business by law would have to cover.
* FOLKS... AGAIN... DON'T BE SIDE-TRACKED BY FURGUSON AND WHATEVER THE NEWEST MEDIA FOCUS IS ON; THIS SUPPOSED "EXECUTIVE ORDER" MUST BE OVER-TURNED BY CONGRESS! IT MUST BE! IF NOT, WE'RE A DICTATORSHIP! IF NOT, NO PRESIDENT WILL EVER AGAIN BE SIMPLY "CHIEF EXECUTIVE" - BUT RATHER HE/SHE WILL BE KING/QUEEN IN ALL BUT NAME.
* UPON THEIR SEATING, THE NEW CONGRESS MUST... M*U*S*T... PASS A JOINT RESOLUTION DECLARING OBAMA'S ILLEGAL ORDER NULL AND VOID AND INSTRUCTING ALL FEDERAL EMPLOYEES AND CONTRACTORS THAT THEY ARE FORBIDDEN TO FOLLOW THE ILLEGAL OBAMA ORDER.
“If it is true that the president’s actions give employers a $3,000 incentive to hire those who came here illegally, he has added insult to injury,” said Rep. Lamar Smith, Texas Republican.
* THEN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! THEN STOP IT! STOP OBAMA! YOU'RE THE CONGRESS! THE CONSTITUTION GIVES CONGRESS SOLE POWER TO DECIDE MATTERS OF NATURALIZATION!
Brian Rogers, a spokesman for Senator John McCain, said Tuesday the solution to the loophole is to get rid of ObamaCare's employer mandate, “which would eliminate the incentive to hire people who are ineligible for ObamaCare subsidies.” Mr. Rogers said the Republican majority that takes control of Congress next year should vote on that proposal.
* NO, JACKASS... THE SOLUTION IS FOR CONGRESS - BOTH HOUSE AND SENATE IN A JOINT RESOLUTION - TO DECLARE OBAMA'S "TEMPORARY AMNESTY" NULL AND VOID AND TO INSTRUCT ALL FEDERAL WORKERS AND CONTRACTORS TO IGNORE THE ILLEGAL "ORDER."
* ANYWAY... RETURNING TO THIS "OBAMA BONUS" TO ILLEGALS...
Some employers have already taken notice, and Dennis Michael Lynch, a documentary filmmaker, raised the issue on political strategist Dick Morris’s radio show in Philadelphia over the weekend.
“The dimensions of this problem are enormous. One wonders if any of Obama’s crew spotted it during the run-up to his executive order. It is hard to imagine former President Clinton failing to notice such a conflict between his two major programs,” Mr. Morris said in an op-ed Tuesday in The Hill, a Capitol Hill newspaper.
* SERIOUSLY, FOLKS... OBAMA IS A MORON. THINK ABOUT HOW OFTEN HE SCREWS UP. BETWEEN HIM AND BIDEN...
(*SIGH*)
The Obama administration has [illegally] delayed the employer mandate penalty for some businesses, but it is slated to take full effect in a year.
* AGAIN, FOLKS... CHECK YOUR CONSTITUTION; THE PRESIDENT CAN'T SIMPLY "RE-WRITE" EXISTING LAW ON THE FLY!
