Congressman Norwood Succumbs to Cancer
Feb 13, 2007 Uncategorized
Recently I wrote about Congressman Charlie Norwood who left DC for his home in Georgia to battle cancer. Charlie Norwood was a soldier and served this country in Vietnam.
Fox News reported today that Representative Norwood died at his home from metastatic lung cancer. The Big Dog family extends our most sincere sympathies to the Norwood family and all his friends. We will continue to keep them in our prayers.
Rest in peace Soldier.
Big Dog Salute to Gribbit for the heads up.

Is This Scientist Reputable Senator Kerry?
Feb 5, 2007 Uncategorized
Global Warming, as we think we know it, doesn’t exist. And I am not the only one trying to make people open up their eyes and see the truth. But few listen, despite the fact that I was the first Canadian Ph.D. in Climatology and I have an extensive background in climatology, especially the reconstruction of past climates and the impact of climate change on human history and the human condition.“Few listen, even though I have a Ph.D, (Doctor of Science) from the University of London, England and was a climatology professor at the University of Winnipeg.†. For some reason (actually for many), the World is not listening. Here is why.

Smoldering Body in LA
Jan 30, 2007 Uncategorized
Police responding to a call for a rubbish fire found a smoldering body of what appeared to be an African American woman in her 30’s. The cause of death has not yet been determined but the dead woman was issued a warning by the local police in advance of California’s proposed law against smoking in public.

Tribes Clash, Violence Escalates
Jan 17, 2007 Uncategorized
When different tribes clash because of mutual hatred people die in large numbers. Hatred for individuals based on some difference such as skin color or religious affiliation is illogical but unfortunately leads to violence and death. A lot of attention is given to the Sunni/Shia conflict in Iraq, a conflict that has been labeled a civil war by the Democrats and the MSM.
Half way around the world in Los Angeles two tribes are having similar problems except skin color, not religion, is the motivating factor. Latino and black gang members in Los Angeles are killing each other in hatred motivated by differences in culture and skin color. A 14 year old black girl was shot to death in retaliation for the shooting of a Latino. The girl was randomly selected and the sole criteria was her skin color.
Tensions run high as Illegal Mexicans arrive in LA and take jobs. This makes it harder for the black population to obtain work. language is a barrier and many Mexicans are unaccustomed to living around large numbers of black people. The violence is up in that area despite a national trend showing a decrease in violent crimes. These tribes are a microcosm of our society and these scenes will likely be replayed across the country as more Mexican ILLEGALS arrive and inhabit America’s large cities.
There is a lot of talk about civil war in Iraq and the number of people being killed. We are inundated with hourly news depicting the violence in that country and yet, our news services remain relatively silent with regard to the civil war that is taking place on our own soil. Certainly, given the criteria for civil war established by Democrats and the MSM, LA is in the midst of such a civil war. The FBI is consulting on how to handle the situation and there will likely be an increased presence of law enforcement officers. Will that surge in police stem the tide of unrest? The political leaders seem to believe it will, though they will challenge the effectiveness of any such move in Iraq.
America has its head in the sand. We have regular death tolls regarding our military in Iraq. The MSM and the left seem almost gleeful when reporting on these deaths and yet they still remain silent on the deaths in America. Many Americans are killed each year, especially in the major cities. Not only is this under reported but there is also no call for a redeployment of the police. Cities ask for more law enforcement officers to deal with these problems while the so called leaders of this country call for fewer troops and their quick removal from Iraq.
As you listen to the Democrats complain about an increase in troop levels and as they tout their cut and run philosophies while the MSM enumerates military deaths in the background, keep in mind that America is a dangerous place and the major cities have their own civil wars occurring. Keep in mind that we are not fighting a war on our soil and yet tens of thousands of Americans are being killed. When Democrats ask what needs to be done tell them to clean up the mess in America and let the military handle the war. It is time to stop tribal warfare in America.

Statue to Honor Prostitutes in Amsterdam
Jan 16, 2007 Uncategorized
Amsterdam will erect (pun intended) a statue honoring the world’s prostitutes:
Majoor was quoted as saying by ANP that the statue would be a first of its kind and that it had received the blessing of the city authorities.
The statue represents a self-assured woman, her hands on her hips, looking sideways towards the sky, and standing on a doorstep, ANP said.
The precise place where the statue will be laid and its title have not yet been announced, it said. Breitbart
I think a street corner would be appropriate.
