The Ten (Obama) Commandments

The Ten Commandments According to Obama

By Patriot Update

After observing Obama on the campaign trail and during his first six months in office, we have concluded that our President lives and governs according to his own set of “Ten Commandments.” They’re certainly NOT the Ten Commandments you learned in Sunday School. In fact, many are the direct opposite! To prove that our conclusions are correct, you will find a link to source documentation for each commandment on the Patriot Update web site.

I. Thou shalt have no God in America, except for me. For we are no longer a Christian nation and, after all, I am the chosen One. (And like God, I do not have a birth certificate.) SOURCE

II. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, unless it is my face carved on Mt. Rushmore. SOURCE

III. Thou shalt not utter my middle name in vain (or in public). Only I can say Barack Hussein Obama. SOURCE

IV. Remember tax day, April 15th, to keep it holy. SOURCE

V. Honour thy father and thy mother until they are too old and sick to care for. They will cost our public-funded health-care system too much money. SOURCE

VI. Thou shalt not kill, unless you have an unwanted, unborn baby. For it would be an abomination to punish your daughter with a baby. SOURCE

VII. Thou shalt not commit adultery if you are conservative or a Republican. Liberals and Democrats are hereby forgiven for all of their infidelity and immorality, but the careers of conservatives will be forever destroyed. SOURCE

VIII. Thou shalt not steal, until you’ve been elected to public office. Only then is it acceptable to take money from hard-working, successful citizens and give it to those who do not work, illegal immigrants, or those who do not have the motivation to better their own lives. SOURCE

IX. Thou shalt not discriminate against thy neighbor unless they are conservative, Caucasian, or Christian. SOURCE

X. Thou shalt not covet because it is simply unnecessary. I will place such a heavy tax burden on those that have achieved the American Dream that, by the end of my term as President, nobody will have any wealth or material goods left for you to covet. SOURCE

Ok, but how about Zorro?

There was an interesting article on the NBC Los Angeles news website today about a guy showing up in a KKK outfit. I read all through it but doesn’t something else seem a little odd about this photo?

I wonder why they didn’t say anything about the guy at the podium. Isn’t that Zorro?

Obama’s Science Czar

Filed under: Politics — don @ 3:06 pm

Daryl made a post last year during the election campaign listing Obama’s science and technology advisers and compared them to McCain’s advisers. He suggested that Obama’s were much more scientist and less military. He was right but now we are learning a little more about Obama’s Science Czar. John Holdren is his name. He has or at least had some rather interesting ideas. One of them was forced sterilization of the masses. He actually believed that was a good idea and wrote about it in a book that is still being used in universities. Hmmm. I’ll take my scientists less anti-people thank you.

A good article about this here.

Tres Leche Cake

Filed under: Food — don @ 11:48 pm

Here’s a recipe by Alton Brown for a cake that made my mouth water the first time I saw it. I decided I would make it so today that’s what I did. Here’s the link to the recipe and here’ s pic of the cake after the glaze is added but before the whipped cream is put on.

Here’s a pic after frosting with whipped cream.

I have to say after eating it I am completely satisfied that it tastes as good as I had hoped. It’s sweet and moist. You might even call it wet with all the milk in it. I highly recommend this.

I’ve been checking Google maps every so often to see if they have gotten better satellite photos of certain places like Cuba, NY and a few others. Once in a while they improve and you can actually see most of the country in decent resolution but there is still a bit left to go.

Today I found the new site that has the regular Google images plus it has what they call Birds Eye. It has 4 different views of every place I’ve checked so far including Hill St, Cuba. The images are better than most of the Google ones. Here’s an example

First a pic using the Google satellite image:
