"Everybody will know exactly whats

in the health care bill because well

have bi-partisan debates on C-Span"Barack Obama

When will the general public acce[tthis President for the lying weakling heis? His biggest faux pas is allowinghimself to be used by congressionalDems. He has let women, old menand gays write the legislation on histhree biggest initiatives: the stimulus,health care reform, and cap and trade.Then he lets them write the speeches.Perhaps the Pelosi/Reid/Frank PoodleParty wants to keep it that way for thesake of his popularity. He's either aflailer or cleverly leaving the door opento blame them for his flops when hecan no longer Blame Bush.

Regardless of his C-Span decla-rations - 8 different ones in all - wereleft with the first American President

that treats the very people that electedhim as though they were chumps.How sad is it when a US Presidentscredibility is the laughing stock of guyslike the N. Koreans and the Iranians?

Rape Of Americato: [email protected]

Fwd From: barbbenner@

We like the Devil may care approachyou use each month. Its good to knowsomeone isnt afraid to say whattheyre thinking these days. I wanted

to send you an excerpt from theAmerican Thinker web-site written byRobyn of Berkely, a self-professedrecovering liberal.

The word "rape" has an intriguinghistory. It originally denoted the violentseizure of property. I'm going to usethe term in both the historic and mod-ern sense to convey what is happen-ing today. This country is being

raped. It's no coincidence that therace for the presidency began with vilebehavior against Hillary Clinton -- ahigh-tech wilding of sorts, with herbody and sexuality defiled. But theabuse of Clinton was nothing com-pared to what has been done to SarahPalin.

And just like in a gang rape, peoplewho could have done somethingabout it didn't. In fact, the liberal media

and many Democrats have stoodaround watching, egging on the play-ers. We also have the economicrapes, the constant shrieks of"Gimme, gimme." Give me what youhave because I want it. In the criminalarena, when the bad guys are given awink-wink, or a "boys will be boys," or,"He's a victim of white privilege," theperp becomes more emboldened. And

he's even more contemptuous of aculture that lets him get away with,quite literally at times, murder.

*112 Cell Helpto:[email protected]

From: terri1980@

Some knew about the red light oncars, but not the *112.

It was about 1:00 p.m. in the after-

noon, and Lauren was driving to visit afriend. An UNMARKED police carpulled up behind her and put his lightson. Lauren's parents have always toldher never to pull over for an unmarkedcar on the side of the road, but rather

to wait until they get to a gas station,etc. Lauren had actually listened toher parents advice, and promptlycalled *112 on her cell phone to tellthe police dispatcher that she wouldnot pull over right away.

The dispatcher checked to see ifthere were police cars where she wasand there weren't, and he told her to

keep driving, remain calm and thathe had back up already on the way.Ten minutes later 4 cop cars sur-rounded her and the unmarkedcar behind her. One policeman wentto her side and the others surroundedthe car behind. They pulled the guyfrom the car and tackled him to theground. The man was a convictedrapist and wanted for other crimes.I never knew about the *112 Cell

Phone Feature, but especially for awoman alone in a car, you should notpull over for an unmarked car.*Speaking to a service representative

at Bell Mobility confirmed that *112was a direct link to State trooper info.

True ColorsObama is consistent. He flies no col-

ors. HE gives a speech, includes the

usual lie or two, makes declarations and

then, he fails. So goes the way of many

politicians, were used to it but the rest

of the World?

Gitmo: Oh well.

Health Care debates on C-Span?

The Israeli dilemma: They wait until

Obama arrives for a building freeze chatbefore telling him that Jlem is not a ter-

ritory and that 1600 new homes are cur-

rently under construction. His obvious

defference shown to the Muslim world is

revealing but why?

Iran: He demands that they come

clean or sanctions with bite will surely

follow in two weeks. That was 4 months

ago and Mahmoud is still laughing.

Financial reform: There were 15 big

global banks before the financial crisishit. During the crisis, however, the col-

lapse of Lehman Brothers led govern-

ments to encourage other banks - by

means of large amounts of taxpayers'

cash - to buy up the not-so-well banks.

The BofA's purchase of Merrill Lynch for

example. We went from having 15

banks to having around six. The remain-

ing banks have more power than ever

as their importance is now set in regula-tory stone - and they know it. Reform?

While the rest of the World thumbs it

nose at the red, white and blue, the

clown in the White House is thumbing

his nose at us.

The Scheme Of ThingsOf Thingsvvsws

Universal Voter

RegistrationBy Roger Franklin.

As citizens of democratic countries

become less vigilant, a form of apathysets in rendering the usual methods of

political correction like "throwing the

bums out" less and less effective.

When political leaders know that the

voting public is focused elsewhere, as

they constantly perpetuate with diver-

sions of ostensible cultural nature

such as gay marriage/dont ask dont

tell, warming, hate speech, H1N1 and

multiculturism, the tendency will be to-wards these leaders' ever-greater

accumulation of power. To this writer,

its what were witnessing today, the

greatest power struggle since the

Boston Tea Party.

"Orwellian" describes the situation,

idea, or societal condition that George

Orwell identified as being destructive

to the welfare of a free society. It con-

notes an attitude and a policy of con-

trol by propaganda, surveillance, mis-

information, (lies) denial of truth, and

manipulation of the past, including the

"unperson" a person whose past

existence is expunged from the public

record and memory, practiced by

modern repressive governments.Often, this includes the circumstances

depicted in his novels, particularly

Nineteen Eighty-Four.

Contemporary Orwellians, aka the

Dems, know at least what theyre try-

ing to do here. Theyre desperate to

stay in power and willing to go down

gambling. The health care Trojan

Horse has proven so transparent that

team Obama has their fearless leaderblowing one smoke screen after

another in hopes that the average

dullard will be herded along until the

unpopular thought will be a distant

memory, or hopefully, totally obscur-

ed.

From ObamaCare passage the pitch

morphed leisurely into the Nuclear

Summit, a nuclear Iran, both excer-

sizes in futility, and from there, a few

days later, it was all about shutting

down NASA. And then it was all about

Financial Reform and finally extend-

ing unemployment, keeping a fewthousand on the dole after having

been on it for six months. A victim

card, any old port in a storm.

So, where are they going with all

this? If you dont think the Orwellians

arent planning for your future you

may want to rethink a bit. In addition

to getting some distance between

them and the health care bomb, the

next logical step is to get a little pay-

back from the victims.

If the Dems can hold on to the slight-

est majority in the House and Senant,

by December or January one of their

top guns will propose universal voter

registration. What is universal voter

registration? It means all of the state

laws on elections will be overridden by

a federal mandate. The feds will tell

the states: 'take everyone on every

list of welfare that you have, takeeveryone on every list of unemployed

you have, take everyone on every list

of property owners, take everyone on

every list of driver's license holders

whether legal Americans or not and

register them to vote regardless of

whether they want to be.

We appear to be up against the will-

ing victims of the the current

Orwellians. The miscreants in Con-

gress are creating a massive force of

voter control and with the current

majority in such a state of confusion,

they might very well pull it off.

White Trash?

If watching the diminishing Repsand todays Dems go at in such unbri-

dled spin and cunning werent such an

intrigue, it would be a waste of time.

The 1994 election, which unseated

the Dems majority, was described by

the LameStream press, without any

evidence, as an eruption of angry,

white, male voters. Today, according

to the same media vehicles, the Tea

Party revolt is being led by racist, vio-

lent, and primitive. A tearful NancyPelosi ostensibly fears chaos in the

streets and Bill the Monica Thrill

Clinton likens them to terrorist.

Its apparent that the Dems are lay-

ing claim and hanging on to the

peace keeper moniker with no vio-

lence to point to. The implication lying

just below the surface is that angry,

white, males that are racist, violent,

and primitive are synonymous towhite trash and have no place or

business in the public eye.

Just one writers opinion, but if this

is the best that they can come up with,

then it is the Dems who are the

dullards and the Reps would do well

to quit educating them by reacting to

such obvious ploys. WIth the excep-

tion of the Democrats charges of vio-

lence and racism, there are none in

evidence so why all the defensivemeasures?

As the only thing standing in the

way of the Dems, God bless the

Republicans. The pity is that theyre

the only organization standing in their

way. The Reps are all we have but

choose to spend their time crying foul.

Let Pelosi be a silly, phony bimbo.

Allow Bill Clinton to spin on anything

he wants and when Obama opens hismouth, knowing that a lie or two will

surely follow, let them carry on. The

Dems are crashing, lets let them. rf

what theyre trying to dohere. Theyre desperate tostay in power and willing to

go down gambling.

Cultures &

Genes

Holy Mol folks the mainstreamnews is suddenly all about Wall Street

Reform and who created this eco-

nomic mess we're in. All of a sudden

its red-hot important to know who was

at fault when they know damned good

and well what happened.

More smoke, another "issue" to

keep the troops divided and from

thinking about foreclosures and

unemployment. There is no doubt that

it started under Clinton who saw racehustlers like Jackson and Sharpton

gathering support in large numbers.

And when Bush had the chance to

curb it he didn't. For both parties it

was all about expanding the voter

base. For Clinton it was all about mak-

ing home ownership a "right" rather

than the hard-earned priviledge that

its always been. Due to the stunning

brilliance of Jackson and Sharpton,who reasoned that blacks had first

been deprived of wealth back when

slaves were denied future wealth

accumulated from home ownership,

Clinton saw a way to garner the black

vote. They didn't call him Slick Willie

for naught. Let them buy homes at all

costs and their cost is what we're all

paying today.

Nobody has a right to home owner-

ship, a good job or health care. Home

ownership is and always will be about

hard work, living within your means,

saving the money for the down and

understanding and living up to thecontract. A good job is something one

prepares himself for via education

according to his/her natural abilities

and interests. Sorry folks, but we're

not all born with equal capabilities.

The Dems could care less about any

of these noble causes and think only

of staying in control. Dupeing minori-

ties and "multicultural" groups into

believing that they are the saviors of

thier "rights" and what's "fair" for thesake of power is evil personified and

they're getting away with it.

Through sheer assumption and rep-

etition, the view that any under-repre-

sentation of any group in desirable

situations or their over-representa-

tion in undesirable situations must be

due to the way they are treated byothers, has become the prevailing

dogma. It just aint so folks.

Its insane, not only the media and

politicians, but "intellectuals" and

even the highest courts in the land

presume discrimination when some

groups are under-represented in an

employers work force or are over-

represented among school drop-

outs, teen pregnancies or children dis-

ciplined in school. Tests that show

some groups more proficient than oth-

ers are declared to be culturally

biased. Higher infant mortality among

some groups is assumed to be soci-

etys fault for not providing access to

prenatal care for all. Multiculturalism

paints the poor into a corner, where

they can nurse their resentments

instead of advancing their skills and

their prospects. The beneficiaries are

politicians and race hustlers folks, just

look around.

One of the most ominous develop-

ments of our time has been the multi-

cultural dogma that all cultures are

equal. It is one of the many unsub-

stantiated assertions that have

become fashionable among self-con-

gratulatory elites, with hard evidence

being neither asked for nor offered.A major factor in the housing boom

and bust that created the present eco-

nomic predicament was massive gov-

ernment intervention in the housing

market, ostensibly to correct discrimi-

nation in mortgage lending. How did

they know that there was discrimina-

tion? Because blacks were turned

down for mortgage loans at a higher

rate than whites. Think about it for

God's sake! As if a devoted capitolist

would give second thoughts to the

color of a man that qualifies for a

home loan? Its absurd folks. If a guy

qualifies he buys, if he doesnt hes

been able to buy anyway and thats

the name of the tune were singing.

Every machine connected to the

Internet has a unique Internet Protocol

(IP) address and you are tagged with

a unique identifier every time you surf

the Web.An IP address is necessary for the

Internet to work. It is literally the

address of your personal computer on

a vast computer network -- like a sin-

gle house on a crowded street.

(Hargray etc.) The only way a Web

server can send the contents of a Web

page to your browser is if it has your

computer's address on the network.

IP addresses, in and of themselves,

do not contain any personally identifi-

able information about you. However,

if you're signed up with an Internet

Service Provider (ISP) -- which is the

way most of us get our Internet service

-- then your ISP can easily link your IP

address with your name, home

address, phone number, e-mail

address and even credit card informa-

tion. If they want to bad enough.

Don't get paranoid just yet: In gener-al, ISPs have fairly strict privacy poli-

cies. They won't give out your person-

al information to any random person

who asks for it. However, under laws

like the U.S. Patriot Act and through

subpoenas from the police and federal

agencies, an ISP may have no choice

but to supply personal information

related to an IP address.

Kid SpySafeDriver Wireless Vehicle Monitor

There are times I genuinely feel sorry for teenagers

these days. Usually a lot of people grumble about all the new electronics thatkids get to use, that they never got to have as kids. Personally, I really have nodesire to be a kid in this day and age. I was one of the many that enjoyed driv-ing fast down back roads. Had my parents had this device Id have never hadany fun. Now that being said, its an awesome day and age to help parents makesure their kids arent up to anything stupid.

This SafeDriver Wireless Vehicle Monitor is easy to install and has a tamper-proof pin number. The device records the highest speed traveled on their trip,plus it keeps track of any sudden braking. Itll also let you know the distancetraveled, so you know if they did any extra driving that they werent supposed tobe doing. You can purchase it for $69.99 through Think Geek. By Mathis

Smirks: Nuns for FunA nun, badly needing to use to the restroom, walked into a local Hooters. The

place was hopping with music and loud conversation and every once in a while'the lights would turn off.and the place would erupt into cheers. However, whenthe revelers saw the nun, the room went dead silent. She walked up to the bar-tender, and asked, 'May I please use the restroom? The bartender replied, 'OK,but I should warn you that there is a statue of a naked man in there wearingonly a fig leaf.' 'Well, in that case, I'll just look the other way,' said the nun. So

the bartender showed the nun to the back of the restaurant. After a few minutes,she came back out, and the whole place stopped to give the nun a loud roundof applause. She went to the bartender and said, 'Sir, I don't understand. Whydid they applaud for me just because I went to the restroom?' ' Well, now theyknow you're one of us,' said the bartender, I still don't understand,' said the puz-zled nun. 'You see,' laughed the bartender, 'every time someone lifts the figleaf, the lights go out. snick snic

As investors come aboard and buyin, he issues them corporate stockcertificates depending on the amountof their investment and enters into aninvestment agreement. In theShorelines case, each share is worth$5300 which enables small investors

Bio:

Billie HolidayBillie Holiday stands as one of jazz's

great vocalists. The inspiration for

many aspiring singers today,

Holiday had a singular voice

steeped in aching emotion and

fueled by an uncanny sense of

swing. She not only stamped her

distinctive signature on such stan-dards as "Night And Day," but she

also contributed remarkable origi-

nals to the jazz canon, including

"Strange Fruit" and "God Bless The

Child." Influenced by Bessie Smith

and Louis Armstrong, Holiday not

only sang with passion and convic-

tion, but she also improvised with a

trumpeter's sensibility.

Holiday was born April 7, 1915, in

Baltimore. Even though her father,

Clarence Holiday, was a

guitar/banjo player in Fletcher

Henderson's band, she didn't break

into the music world until she was in

her late teens. After being signed by

Columbia Records' John Hammond

in 1933 for her debut record

(accompanied by members of

Benny Goodman's studio band),

Holiday went on to work with Teddy

Wilson, Buck Clayton and Lester

Young, who crowned her with the

nickname Lady Day. She alsotoured with the Count Basie

Orchestra in 1937 and Artie Shaw in

1938.

Holiday became a star on the

New York club scene during the

early '40s and her post-war work forthe Decca label gave her popular

acclaim, especially when she

recorded "Lover Man," which

became a hit.

However, the Holiday story is a

tragic one. As a result of her impov-

erished upbringing and her constant

bouts with drug abuse (especially

heroin), her career was marked by a

series of exaggerated peaks and

valleys. By the time she was record-

ing for Verve in the '50s, the golden

days of her jazz vocalizing were

long gone. In July 1959 she col-

lapsed, and on July 17, 1959, died

Were not in it to winit, but we are in it

The Race4 Mayor

By Cork James

Why not? The filing fee is right andwhether or not the Packet gives us

fair billing, or the fire were sure tocome under from some of our moreliberal adversaries is manageable,were convinced that we are as capa-ble of handling the gig as anyone inthe race. Having that said, Id like tooffer a little run-down on the plan if Imelected.

I want to do whatever I can to returnthis Island to what made it great

before greed turned it into what theNat'l Geographic Traveler called "Aposter child for over-developmentgone wild". I will do everything I can toreturn to the days when commonsense prevailed and the natural beau-ty was preserved and ultimatelybecame the draw that attracted aworld-class traveler that once consid-ered the Island a well kept secret. Atraveler that appreciated the easy

going style of the regional locals andtheir reverance to and protection ofthe natural enviornment such as itwas before greed, over developmentand talk of "build-out" turned the gold-en goose into foie gras.The new Agenda:

1 No Sales tax hike2 Moratorium on all new building/ res-idential or commercial

3 Restaurant/Bar signage ordinancesrewritten4 Hospitality code enforcement lawsrewritten5 Cross Island toll eliminated for yeararound residents6 Referendum to limit Liquor licensesto the current number.

My qualifications are a formal edu-cation in Political Science and a deeprespect for the capitolist system that

kept this Country number one untilpolitical correctness and multicultural-ism turned it into the societal mess wehave today. While I'm stunned thatthere isn't a single woman on Town

Council, it is understandable that any

intelligent woman seeking to serve insuch a capacity would be hesitant toseek a position in the midst of thegood old boy atmosphere such as itis. Just as I don't believe in havingminorities in office simply because itspolitically correct, I don't believe inhaving women in office for the sake ofhaving women in office. Regardlessof race or gender, I believe that hav-ing intelligent, common sensical peo-

ple that take the health and wealth ofthe community to heart is first andforemost. We need intelligent, sensi-tive minds and a little feminine inputhas been sorely missing.

We don't need more developement,we need a moratorium on all futurebuilding. While it may not sound likefree enterprise or the the capitolistmind-set, looking out for the financial

health of all currently invested soundslike capitolism to me. To preserve andnuture this Island as one tourist busi-ness with many facets is the idea.

We don't need any more restau-rants, bars, tennis courts, golf cours-

es, movie theatres or botiques, we

need to be looking out for what wehave. We don't need to be mandatingobsticals such as gambling bans,smoking bans or late night curfews.

Any and everything that effects aviable Industry will be put to the voteif you elect me. For example, any SCcommunity can vote on a moratoriumto limit ABC licenses to the currentnumber. The service industry is andhas been the largest segment of the

population by number for 20 years buthas never been represented.

We are currently making a list ofpotential bar and restaurant ownerswho may be interested in hostingvoter registration events. The first willbe held at the Island Bistro sometimein June and well be posting the datenext month. These registration jamswill be the first of several efforts to

ultimatly get the F&B Industry repre-sented here. Whether you are anowner or a professional staffer, orbelieve that voting in local elections isan excersize in futility, you can alwaysvote againstsomeone. cj

Whos Doin/Not

With the National economy showingno signs of a bottom, things South of

the Broad are looking pretty fair incomparison. As the Springs averagedemographic tends to produce a bitbetter heeled traveler, Bar/Restaurantownders/GMs and staffers have settheir heels to accommodate and theservice has never been better and themenu/libation offerings have neverbeen more competitive.

The SmokeHoues is up, runningand enjoying the traditional honey-moon as live music playing to fullhouses is the norm these days there.With a last minute decision to offerregular live music in an area original-ly designated for a fireplace, we opineco-owner Jerry Leonard has made adecision that adds extra juice to theIslands nightlife.

Two Dollar Bills is gearing for what

some believe will be the most com-petitive Summer to date as $2 wellsand PBRs are offered daily thereaccentuated by $1 Margaritas onWednesdays placeing this small spotat the top of the steal deal seekerslist.

PB Sunrise Cafe has ruled thebreakfast hours Island-wide for yearsnow and we see little change through-

out the Spring months there as PBSCcontinues to attract the lions share ofthe breakfast/brunch locals seekingvariety and prompt in and out access.Good word had Sundays numberstopping 500 last month for the firsttime this year.

of being the Islands only frozendaquiri offering which keeps steadynumbers going there which of course

picks up this time of year via ColignyPlazas visitor destination location.

The Lodge is geared up for theSpring months with nightly dealshighlighted by the all new craft beerofferings there which marks the finalphase of this local bars transitionaway from the original cigar/martinibar that put it on the map years ago.

Stellinis is back in the Spring

Swing and this off the beaten pathlocation has for 20 years served as ahaven for locals and visitors prefer-ring a more subdued dinner destina-tion. The Early Bird deal is still one ofthe Islands best.

Murphys is the most popularactive sport destination on the Islandas good numbers of Rugby/Soccerplayers and NFL fans alike huddlethere Thursday-Saturday and with

the walking distance convenience ofthe Forest Beach residents anddozens of near-by white collar work-ers the happy hour and dinner num-bers continue to be steady.

Frugal minded locals have got tobe loving the all new Two DollarBills now up and running which fea-tures $2 wells, domestics and housevinos all day, 7 days a week.

One Hot Mamas has been ruling the Triangles local appeal thanks inpart to aggressive marketing and theoutside smokers bar there.WHILE The Sea ShackS owner/GMGene Baldwin has been keeping alight schedule due to health issuesthis little spot just keeps on rockingand continues to host more bodies onany given day than 90% of the eater-ies on the Island. WIth a focused crew

and streamlined service MO thissmall spot is set to weather the eco-nomic conditions ahead.

The Island Bistros all new Springrevamp includes Chef Erics new

Southern style menu accentuated bylive music Thu-Sats there. Lastmonths line-up included new kid onthe block Jason Bible who we opine

to be one of the most focued actsseeking to address the times such asthey are. see pg 3 for schedule.

The Jazz Cornercontinues to rulelive music venues Island-wide and asco-owner Bob Masteller continues toadd and tweak the weekly stage per-formance schedules while droppingthe cover for locals and adding avalue minded late night menu has us

believing that little will change thesteady turnouts 7 nights there.Hincheys Chi Barhas doubled up

on promotional efforts and in additionto the bottom basement beer andcocktail offering continues to keep thereal music flowing there late nights onWed-Fri & Sundays. See pg 11

Aunt Chiladas frugal to high-endmenu offering continues to drawsteady lunch and happy hour num-

bers and as one of the S-ends mostvisible restaurants will sustainthrough the tougher times ahead viathe steady local clientele there.

Remys has been offering morevalue-minded lunch, HH and dinnerdeals and w/the real music 5 nightsweekly is no doubt ready for the fru-gal minded Summer revelers thathave already shown signs fo life. Two

fer 1 lunchs on wed now @ RemysAlso are one of the busiest midweekofferings on the S-end and the recentbreakfast til 5am offering has addedmore draw power to the HeritagePlaza complex.

Last months nightly forays usually found us hanging outside for the pool andpatio parties and the bar-side sidewalks where the Spring weather ruled. With anumber of recent destinations now equipped with outdoor bars and smokingareas the Spring months will likely see more open-air crowds than ever. Both theDry Dock and Kanaleys have enjoyed good outdoor numbers so far thie year.

Grins: Wit of the WoodsThe guys were all at deer camp. No one wanted to room with Bob, be-

The firstguy roomed with Bob and came to breakfast the next morning with his haira mess and his eyes all bloodshot. They said, "Man, what happened to you?"He said, "Bob snored so loudly, I just sat up and glared at him all night."The next night it was a different guy's turn. In the morning, same thing--hair a mess, eyes all bloodshot. They said, "Man, what happened to you?You look awful!" He said, 'Man, that Bob shakes the roof with his snoring. I

watched him all night." The third night was Fred's turn. Fred was an oldcowboy; a man's man.. The next morning he came to breakfast bright-eyedand bushy-tailed. "Good morning!" he said.
