As my mama always said, "Stupid is as stupid does."

Did you know that it would rain if we'd just eat our veggies? PETA has made a statement that the best thing Texans can do to curb the state's drought is to go vegan.

A group of these idiots built makeshift showers in downtown Dallas the other day and protested the amount of water used to raise animals for consumption by bathing themselves on Main Street. Maybe I'm just a little clueless, but do cows not destined for the slaughterhouse drink no water? Do pet pigs not get thirsty?

Another thing I thought a little ironic about this news tidbit. The photo of the protest showed a bystander all wrapped up in her muslim garb in the 105 degree heat. This woman, who is barely allowed to show her face in public, had her cellphone out snapping pics of the nude people. Are there any sane people left?

Even the blacks say he's devious.

Interesting quote about Obama from Democrat Representative Frederica S. Wilson of Florida: "If he comes and speaks out for black people in the middle of this, he will lose his re-election, and you know it. He has to temper this in such a manner so we can get him re-elected, and once he's a lame-duck president, I think we'll see lots of changes and lots of movement toward the black community."

Translation: He'll say anything to get re-elected, then he'll do whatever he wants to do.

Warning: In case you haven't figured it out already, the man is dangerous.

Mr. Essie May and I were talking the other day about how Obama has lifted Jimmy Carter from the status of worst President in the history of the U.S. We decided there was a distinct difference, however, in the two. Jimmy Carter was just a stupid man who was in over his head and didn't have a clue what he was doing. Obama has an agenda to change the whole nature of our government, and he's far from stupid. He's devious and skilled at getting his way. And that's what Frederica Wilson has inadvertently explained so clearly.

I nominate her for Mother of the Year.

Naim Rasool Muhammad took two of his sons last week and drowned them. He hasn't said why he did it, but he has a long history of family violence and substance abuse. He recently finished rehab with glowing reports -- that he was ready to change. Sometimes, it seems that addiction experts are the easiest people in the world to fool. So now, two little boys are dead.

I was feeling a lot of sympathy for the mother in this case until I came across an article about her. She is not exactly the Mother of the Year -- she bears a lot of responsibility for what happened to her sons.

On a recent Facebook entry, she says she is "high and chillin'." After giving birth to a third child, she posted, "Being a single mom is hard, especially if you broke wit no job." Did she not figure that out after the first child or the second? She's a little slow, don't you think? Last February, she reported her "boo" (the murderer of her sons) for threatening her and hitting her. In March, she reported him again for choking her and dragging her by the hair into the house. (How would you like to have these people living next door?) She refused to cooperate with the police in that case and made this post to her Facebook page: "I'm upset because my family has been forcefully broken. Its just the MAN trying to keep us down." I wonder why she keeps calling "the MAN" when "her boo" assaults her? Yet another entry states: "Getting hiiiii."

One hopes and prays that the little boy who survived will be taken and placed in a decent home.

What else would you expect from a "meditation" teacher?

Daniel Kasten is a teacher at Greenhill School, a private school in Addison for grades K-12. I can't imagine what kind of parent would send his child to this school.

Kasten teaches English, world religions, and meditation. He is so proud of the Greenhill students for their recognition of gay rights. He says most young Americans recognize that we live in a different and far better nation today. I'll agree that it's far different from what it was several decades ago, but I cannot agree that it's better.

Kasten is a Methodist. He criticizes the denomination for threatening "clergy with ecclesiastical trial and dismissal if they 'practice' homosexuality themselves or officially bless the unions of gay congregants." He says that, for modern Christians, such policies raise questions about the church's commitment to loving relationships and to social justice. I guess I'm just one of those old relic Christians from the dark ages who thinks the church's commitment to biblical truth is a lot more important than having a promiscuous man in the pulpit or blessing a sham marriage between two perverts.

One of the reasons I wouldn't send my kids to Greenhill is the school sponsored club called True Colors. True Colors is "an alliance of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, questioning and straight members of the Greenhill community." I wouldn't want my kids going to school with gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgendered and discussing the birds and the bees with them. If they are "questioning," they need to come talk to me, not some mixed up confused teenager.

Kasten just gushes over True Colors' big project for the year -- the Day of Silence. Students remained silent "in support of those whose voices were muted for so long by legal and social discrimination." Doesn't that sound lofty and grand? Isn't it the most ridiculous thing you've ever heard? On second thought, if we could get all those weirdos involved in a Decade of Silence, maybe we'd have a chance at turning around the morals of this country.

Earthquake!

Something else for Obama to blame the economy on.

Real Family Entertainment

GLAAD, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, has rated the ABC Family Channel as excellent in its portrayal of gay and lesbian characters. This channel is targeted at teenage viewers.

GLAAD cited the Family Channel's large number of gay and lesbian characters. This rating is only the second handed out by GLAAD -- the first went to MTV. Michael Riley, ABC Family's chief executive, said, "We're incredibly proud to be honored and acknowledged by GLAAD."

I don't know about you, but this makes me anything but GLAD. It's a sad commentary on what our society deems good. "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"

Which Obama is right?

Those in the know say that the big jobs plan Obama will unveil after his Martha's Vinyard vacation will include tens of billions of dollars in stimulus money. You know -- that's the kind of program he promised would keep unemployment (currently at 9.2%) below 8%. It worked so well before that we're going to do it even bigger this time. Heck -- if this one is even more successful than the last one, unemployment just might hit 11.5%!

Anyway, the estimate is that for each $1 billion spent, 10,000 jobs will be created. That's $100,000 a job, folks. And remember, these will be temporary. When the construction projects are finished, so are the jobs.

Obama admits that these jobs cost money, but he says we'll make up for it with deficit reduction. Okay, let me try to put this in terms that mean something to you and me. Say Mr. Essie May and I are in debt up to our eyeballs. We owe $15,000 on one credit card, $30,000 on another, and $25,000 on another and we're barely making the interest payments, let alone applying anything to the principal. But we're still buying big screen TV's, computers, furniture, and the latest fashions. So Mr. Essie May says he knows how we'll get out of this mess. We'll spend another $150,000 we don't have. And we'll pay for that by reducing what we are continuing to charge on our credit cards. Makes perfect sense -- only if you've been smoking some wildwood weed.

When Obama was in Illinois last week, he said "Washington is not the answer to the nation's economic troubles." But in an interview with CBS News the same week, he said the nation was in danger of not having a fast enough recovery and "that's why we need to be doing more." So which Obama is right? The Washington can't fix it Obama, or the Washington has to spend us out of this mess Obama? Would you like to know which Obama I think is right? The former President Obama.
