Yesterday, the town of Depoe Bay, Oregon, cancelled their annual Independence Day fireworks celebration. This had been a well attended tradition since 1993.
By well attended, I don’t just mean that people turned out to watch the display but, they made a day of it and it had become a great boost to the local economy. Shop owners and restaurants, lodging establishments and gas stations had come to rely on the annual celebration.
Now, it’s gone and for what?
The birds.
That right, because of a bunch of Brandt’s Cormorants that apparently nest a mile from the bay where the fireworks USED to be shot off.
It seems there’s a bunch of bird brains who are scared that the Cormorants are scared of the fireworks and, well, they just can’t have THAT now, can they?
Sorry but, I’m not buying it.
It makes one wonder though, doesn’t it? Where we would be today had liberal/socialist, tree hugging namby pambies been ruling the roost 236 years ago?
Let’s take today’s liberal mentality and head back to the birth of this nation, shall we?
Scare tactics and conservative conspiracy theories?
With today’s Supreme Court ruling, upholding Obamacare as Constitutional, the American People have LOST their individual sovereignty.
Yesterday, the Supreme Court ruled on Arizona’s SB 1070 striking 3 of the 4 sections of that bill.
What has been seen as the key provision in Arizona’s SB 1070, Section 2B, requiring law enforcement officers to check immigration status of those in contact with law enforcement for other reasons HAS been upheld by the United States Supreme Court!
GEEEEEZ…What a week.
In truth, this week hasn’t been a great deal different that any other for the Emperor when it comes to dodging and weaving around the truth. After 3 1/2 years, it starts to blur.
Last Friday, the Emperor stepped up to the microphones in the rose garden and issued a decree that illegal aliens, brought here by their parents and under the age of 30, would no longer be deported and would be given a 2-year work visa.
Well…HERE’S a tidbit.
