Norwegian Rotarians for Newt?
Newt Gingrich, at Oral Roberts University:
Barack Obama is the most dangerous president in modern American history ….these are not Norwegian Rotarians. There’s a very specific desire to kill us. There’s a desire to destroy our civilization…The president wants to unilaterally weaken the United States…So defeating Barack Obama becomes in fact a duty of national security…
Well anyway, there is no official Norwegians for Newt site yet in spite of the fact his wife went to an obscure Norwegian college in Iowa. But here is more information on African Americans for Obama. According to the Obama web site it was established in 2007 and not just announced recently.
To see the place this is documented see: http://www.barackobama.com/african-americans

White people for Romney or whoever?
Well, here is a black people for Obama ad. Interesting how white people get called racist for doing the very same thing. Such is life when there are too many liberal arts degrees in the world.
Another crackpot letter to the editor in the works
Editor:
While listening to the results of the Birkie on the radio I was struck by the basic backward backwoods philosphy inherent in this ski race and how unfair the whole thing is. We all know the top 1% of the finishers must have inherited their wealth of athletic genes putting the other 99% of the racers at an unfair advantage. And then there is the training some of the top skiers get from their corporate sponors that none of the 99% is privy to. Finally is the lack of practice snow for people who were born or forced to live in the wrong areas. All of this adds up to a rigged contest where the 1% wins at the expense of the 99% who are citizen-skiers.
While it is not physically possible to have thousands of racers crossing the finish line on Main Street at the same time there are other solutions to the unfairness of this race. The simplest soution is to give handicap minutes to people in the 99% based on how much snow there is where they live. This data must be availabe from NOAA. It would not even mean changing the starting waves. The only thing that would change is it would take longer to see who won since the first person across the line may be beaten by many people from areas where they could not train as much but their handicap minutes would make them the true winners. This is only one small step towards getting the basic unfairness out of the race. Perhaps in future years race officials can devise ways to factor corporate sponsorships into the handicaps mix and maybe even genetics and have a truly fair race.

Scam of the day: Millie Horton
See this link since it cannot be embedded here: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/02/22/romney_we_found_out_why_stephanopoulos_asked_about_contraception.html (it will open a new window)
Quote from the link:
" "You recall, back in the debate we had George Stephanopoulos talking all about birth control. We wondered why in the world that contraception -- it's like, 'why's he going there?' Well, we found out when Barack Obama continued his attack on religious conscience. "
TWW congratulates the Democrats on a great scam! Willie Horton scammed people's fears about black people. This Millie Horton scam works on women's fears about men. An excellent scam.

Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Fuhrer?
"The effort to recall controversial Gov. Scott Walker is producing a mixed message about where things stand now: More than 1 million people signed the petitions to cut his term short, but Walker’s approval ratings have since ticked upward. Walker leads potential challengers in a recent Marquette poll by margins of between 6 percent and 10 percent, hovering between 49 percent and 50 percent."

Quote of the day
"In a visit to Cairo, Egypt, Justice Ginsburg told Al Hayat television, “I would not look to the U.S. Constitution, if I were drafting a constitution in the year 2012.”
Instead, she urged Egyptians to look elsewhere to more modern constitutions in South Africa, Canada, and even the European Convention on Human Rights."
TWW thinks we need more people like this on the Supreme Court in Zimbabwe if they even have courts there anymore.
"RACINE, Wisconsin — James Ladwig recently took over the job of Racine County executive. ...So with the new job, Ladwig got a new set of rules for governing his county....
.... Now that unions have less of a say, local leaders like Ladwig and school officials have more options for balancing their budgets. One way Ladwig and the Racine County board exercised this freedom is by putting volunteer inmates from the county jail to work shoveling snow from sidewalks, mowing the medians on state highways and doing landscaping. Before the Wisconsin law passed, unions blocked the move on the grounds that if the work was to be done, it had to be done by union members. Under the new law, unions can no longer block the program....Snowplow drivers and other county employees used to get double pay, plus eight hours of comp time, for working holidays. Now they just get time-and-a-half.... "
See why the unions hate Der Fuhrer in Wisconsin and want to recall him?

This may save some trees
There is a free drawing software program TWW finally heard about from the Google people as they try to take over the known world. See: http://sketchup.google.com/intl/en/index.html
TWW may start using this to make bowls to give to people. The basement at GM is not heated too well but still much warmer than the garage in winter. Above is TWW's first try to do a bowl for enhanced life enrichment. If you want to draw stuff see the link above.

The Commies are trying to hack TWW's computer
TWW got a message from his security software saying a certain web site was trying to break into his computer. He used a search engine to find the stuff below. Didn't our leaders say we were safe from Communism years ago?

First Donation to Italian Dinner
Garbin Moraine received the first donation to the Italian last night from JAJA the Elder in Denver. The family thanks JAJA for the donation. A little mouse got into the package last night and one box was empty today so we are going to lock the basket up where the mice cannot get at it. If you want to donate to the Italian dinner use the Donate button. If you have donated to previous dinners please do not feel obligated to donate again.

Odin and Sputnik Bowls
The bowl below is a Sputnik bowl since it bring back of memories of Butterfield where a Sputnik fell from the sky and landed in a tree on a farm near there when TWW was little. This bowl is meant to be put on a table and filled with wrapped candies. Next you get a mark to pick up the bowl and all the candies fall through the open bottom. It is best not to do this when there is anything near the bowl on the table in case the mark panics and starts flailing his arms to stop the candies from falling out. This type of bowl get high marks from the renew, reuse and recycle crowd since it is junk to throw away caused by a lack of attention on the part of a lathe operator.
Paranoia or narcissism?
As gray February continues TWW still is searching for his name in the recall petitions.

Dulute billboard message mystery deepens
(refers to post below about trip to Dulute)
"THREE JUVENILES accused of assaulting a cabdriver and his passenger in Center City Saturday night while shouting racial slurs will not be charged with a hate crime, the District Attorney's Office said yesterday.......The teens, who are black, were not charged with hate crimes because there was no evidence that the assault had been motivated by the race of the victims, who are white, said Tasha Jamerson, D.A. spokeswoman. Just shouting racial epithets during the commission of a crime doesn't rise to the level of ethnic intimidation, she said."
source:http://www.philly.com/philly/news/20120203_No_hate_charges_in_attack.html?c=0.14090962996337186&posted=y&viewAll=y#comments
Update: The scales have fallen from TWW's eyes. He now realizes the prosecuting attorney in Philadelphia who did the work so they could make the comments above was a white person who could not see racism. That is the only logical explanation.

Enlightenment from a trip to Dulute
A billboard in Dulute said "If you are white you cannot see racism".
TWW got to wondering what this meant. It is logical to then ask if your father was black and your mother white (or vice versa) does that mean you cannot half-way see racism?

Where's TWW ?
TWW thinks his name is somewhere on one of the Walker recall petitions. He is offering a free custom bowl in the wood of your choice if you can find his name.
