It has been a while since I checked in, so I thought I'd post a word or two. The weather has finally started warming up here in Dalian, up to 77 degress today. But it's been so cold for so long that it feels like 90. Spring fever has hit me with a vengeance, so I haven't been terribly active. But then, I never am.

There has been no school this week because of the "May Day" holiday. That's the big communist holiday, officially on May 1. I was out on May 1 and curiously noted that many people did, indeed, take the day off, but that virtually none of the shops were closed as hordes of these Chinese capitalistic pigs obviously decided to not honor the countless millions of people who died in the name of communistic purity. Economic reality has a way of pushing aside utopian idealism.

The American media got tired of George Zimmerman because the anniversary of Osama bin Laden's death gave them an opportunity to campaign for Barack Obama. This is the only "success" they can find in his entire administration, so they've tooted the horn as much as possible. The narcissistic Obama, of course, hasn't been slow, either, to remind people of Osama's death, apparently wanting Americans to believe that he is the only person in the world who would have given the order to go get the terrorist (Mitt Romney certainly wouldn't have done it). This is utterly ridiculous and shameless, of course; it was a no-brainer. Any retarded third grader would have given the same order Obama did. To imply otherwise is to hope that America is as full of stupid people as...well, as America apparently is or Obama would never have gotten elected in the first place.
Obama is in some degree of trouble, regarding his re-election. He is so incompetent and unqualified, and his administration has been such an unmitigated failure, that there may be enough Americans left who see it. Some people are comparing this administration to the Carter years and thus, since Reagan won by a landslide, Romney might do the same. But I'm not so sure. We are 30 years farther into the future, a new generation that knows not Reagan has been born, and the Democrats have done everything they can to make as many people as possible dependent upon government. Trotting along behind Europe and headed for the same disaster. Those dependents are going to vote for Obama, of course, at least most of them. He'll be over halfway to the electoral votes he needs, given the fact he will win California, New York, and New England. It speaks volumes--encyclopedias--about America, that he has a chance to be re-elected. But, as I've noted many, it is no surprise to anyone who knows history and the Bible, it's just a shame to anyone who loves the United States.
Oh, speaking of George Zimmerman, if he were illegally in the country, he'd be an "Hispanic" and a media darling, but since he killed a black, his "white" ancestry got all the media attention, at least initially. "Black" trumps "Hispanic". And everything else. Barack Obama is also half-white, of course. Tiger Woods is half-Asian. Of course, women, who are the majority in the country, are also a "minority," and Elizabeth Warren, the liberal thing who is running for Senator in Massachusetts, is further a minority because she is 1/32nd Indian....
I think I'll go back to bed....
