			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2772" title="trayvon" src="http://www.sliloh.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/trayvon.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="256" />I&#8217;m talking about the Trayvon Martin incident. You know, when we used to play checkers the winner was the one who could &#8220;get the move&#8221; on his opponent. Apparently the same thing works with the media. Trayvon&#8217;s family wasted no time getting it all out in the media along with pictures of their 12 y/o angel. Forget that he was now 17 and 6&#8217;3&#8243; tall. The media condemned Zimmerman across the board. I couldn&#8217;t believe it when I saw Anderson Cooper going on about how he wears a hoodie. Like Zimmerman shot a poor black child because he was wearing a hoodie, rather than the fact that Trayvon punched him, knocked him to the ground and was beating his head against the pavement. He has the injuries to prove it, which explains why he hasn&#8217;t been arrested. You know what they say about <strong><em>assume</em></strong>.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-2771 alignright" style="margin: 5px;" title="channonchristopher" src="http://www.sliloh.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/channonchristopher.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="162" /> Where was the media outrage when this <a title="Channon/Christian" href="http://sistertoldjah.com/archives/2007/05/14/christian-newsom-murders-media/" target="_blank">white young couple</a> was murdered by 5 black thugs? The only reason I heard about it at the time was because I read crime boards. Why is the media so sensitive to black sentiment and not to white? What was done to Channon and Christian was far, far worse than what happened to Trayvon. And they weren&#8217;t beating anyone&#8217;s head against the pavement when it happened.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2775" title="murderperps" src="http://www.sliloh.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/murderperps.jpg" alt="" width="449" height="131" /></p>
<p>But coming out first and forcefully in the media, everyone believes the story. Hey, that&#8217;s happened to me any number of times, even with my own family. Get a clue folks, just because you heard one side of the story don&#8217;t <strong><em>assume</em></strong> it&#8217;s the truth.</p>
<p>Then we have the wonderful, good-hearted black community rallying around demanding justice for this terrible crime. Like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Black_Panther_Party" title="New_Black_Panther_Party" target="_blank">New Black Panther Party</a> offering $10,000 reward for the abduction of George Zimmerman. Now since the police don&#8217;t want him what do you suppose they plan on doing with him after abducting him? <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/trayvon-martin-spike-lee-george-zimmerman-twitter-controversy-304775" title="spike lee" target="_blank">Spike Lee</a> tweeted Zimmerman&#8217;s address. If anything happens to him or his family I sure hope Spike will be charged as an accessory. Even our president had to put his two cents in and it wasn&#8217;t even worth two cents. <a href="http://elev8.com/news/orethawinston/minister-louis-farrakhan-on-trayvonget-up-and-do-something/" title="louis" target="_blank">Louis Farrakhan</a> says there will be retaliation. <a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Latest-News-Wires/2012/0327/Should-Al-Sharpton-be-Trayvon-Martin-activist-and-MSNBC-host" title="Al Sharpton" target="_blank">Rev. Al Sharpton</a> wants the killer (murderer) arrested. <a href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/os-trayvon-martin-jesse-jackson-city-council-20120326,0,3777841.story" title="Jesse Jackson" target="_blank">Rev. Jesse Jackson</a> called Trayvon Martin a “martyr” and compared his death to that of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.. I ask, where was all their outrage when Channon and Christian were murdered? If they are so hot for equal rights, why don&#8217;t they equally spout off when the victims are white? They are more racist than I&#8217;ve ever been. Very unbecoming for men of God to pass judgement so quickly without all the facts.</p>
<p>I say ya&#8217;ll should sit back and shut up because you may not be making an ass of me but you surely are making one of yourselves. Let the police do their job. With all the pressure to arrest Zimmerman, I&#8217;m sure they would/will if they find they have a case, because we must be so careful of black sentiment you know. If the case wasn&#8217;t so sad for all concerned I&#8217;d find humor in the fact that Zimmerman is actually a hispanic rather than white.</p>
<p>The media today is deplorable. Judge, Jury and if Spike has his way, Executioner too. Thank God for <a href="http://quincyjournal.com/strawman-color-me-skeptical1332868138.html" target="_blank">people</a> who can think for themselves.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One day when I was browsing the web looking at digital art, I came across these <a href="http://www.geeksbowl.com/wallpapers/1080p-wide/digital-art-wallpapers-hd-1600x" target="_blank">awesome images</a> but I had no idea how they did that! Fractals clearly but how? It didn&#8217;t take that much tracking it down. There is this really cool <a title="Fractalius Plugin" href="http://www.redfieldplugins.com/filterFractalius.htm" target="_blank">plugin for photoshop</a> and geez, could it be any easier?</p>
<p>So I did my family and things. <img src='http://www.sliloh.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2714" title="occupied" src="http://www.sliloh.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/occupied.jpg" alt="" width="203" height="330" /></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t really &#8220;get&#8221; Occupy Wall Street. I agree there is massive corruption in this country, from Wall street, bankers, unions, big corporations and most of all our government. I&#8217;m as disgusted with it as they are. There are people who should have been put on trial rather than bailed out. Whose fault is that? Our government. So why are we not protesting them? Demanding that these people face charges for their crimes? If that&#8217;s not what they are asking, what exactly <em>are</em> they asking? I mean what is it meant to accomplish? Will Wall street just give up and come outside and throw their millions to the crowd? I don&#8217;t see how this movement is going to enact any change. Get a few million together with a lawyer and maybe they will make some progress. I think either that or you are gonna have to give up the signs for guns.</p>
<p>There will always be greedy people, but if the wealthy got that way legally, while I might despise them for their miserly ways, hey, it&#8217;s their money. They certainly don&#8217;t owe it to me. It&#8217;s our government who got us into this financial mess, bailing out criminals, giving our money away hand over fist. I believe in a free market. That means you make it or you lose it through your own actions. There is no such thing as too big to fail. Look at America, we are failing big time. I don&#8217;t believe that the wealthy need to take care of me. Ever read <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_Shrugged" target="_blank">&#8220;Atlas Shrugged&#8221;</a>? It might be in their best interest to if they are Christians (“It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.” (Mk. 10:25)), but whatever, that&#8217;s between them and God.</p>
<p> <a href="http://www.sliloh.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/true.jpg" rel="lightbox[2713]" title="true"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2715" title="true" src="http://www.sliloh.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/true-300x255.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="255" /></a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s really pretty scary seeing who exactly supports <a href="http://pjmedia.com/zombie/2011/10/31/the-99-official-list-of-ows/" target="_blank">Occupy Wall Street</a>. I don&#8217;t want to live in a socialist society. I don&#8217;t believe we have a God-given right to be taken care of. I believe that sometimes bad shit happens to people and the world is never going to be fair. I&#8217;m sick of political correctness. I&#8217;m sick of government officials who are bought by special interests groups. The government I knew was &#8220;by the people, for the people&#8221;. This is what we have controlling our country now:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected the promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world-government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the National autodetermination practiced in past centuries.&#8211; David Rockefeller in an address to a Trilateral Commission meeting in June of 1991&#8243;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The idea of being run by &#8220;intellectual elite and world bankers&#8221; is terrifying. Of course so is the idea of being run by the idiots we have running things now. I cannot call them any kind of &#8220;intellectual elite&#8221;, look at the mess they&#8217;ve made of things.</p>
<p>While I&#8217;m at it, I&#8217;m sick of &#8220;Left&#8221; and &#8220;Right&#8221; and &#8220;Liberal&#8221; and &#8220;Conservative&#8221; and the vitriol and really amazing hatred aimed at any of them from the other. Especially when both sides are as bad as the other in how they see fit to run my country. Let&#8217;s just ditch the damn labels for a change. I&#8217;m sick of being called an idiot, sheeple, and however other many nasty names people come up with for believing in what I do. With that kind of unbending attitude you think I would want you or anyone you might vote for ruling me?</p>
<p>I believe in some conservative ideas. I believe in some liberal ideas. I believe in respecting others and their ideas whether I agree with them or not. I believe mostly in our constitution and mourn the loss of it. I am not the 1%; nor am I the 99%. Does that make me irrelevant?</p>

<p>I want to move.</p>
<p>I think I should be in a more country setting where I don&#8217;t have such close neighbors. If they are obnoxious and live a mile away that&#8217;s a lot better than obnoxious and one foot away. I live a quiet life here I just don&#8217;t understand the shit that people keep doing to me. Okay, I can understand stealing my downspouts off my garage, that was about greed and money. I don&#8217;t understand the throwing eggs, bricks, rocks and various other crap into my yard and garden. I don&#8217;t understand throwing your chewed up gum on my front porch where I step on it. I don&#8217;t understand kicking my back gate in and breaking the boards. It&#8217;s not like it locks and is keeping you out of my yard. I&#8217;m tired of picking your litter up in my front yard and alley. Christ, in the alley you have any number of dumpsters to throw your crap in, feel free to use mine.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m tired of the rudeness about noise, for fuck sake you have neighbors all around you just a few feet away. Why is there no common courtesy around here?</p>
<p>I&#8217;m depressed. I live like a freaking hermit, so there&#8217;s no good stuff, just the bad crap. I walked away from a house I loved once, I guess I could walk away from this one. It&#8217;s a shame that being poor means I need to live next to lowlifes. Here&#8217;s a clue you assholes, you can be poor and still live a life with integrity and respect for yourself and others.</p>
<p>Sometimes I wish I&#8217;d bought that gun but then I&#8217;d only get in trouble threatening assholes with it probably. Maybe a ten foot stone wall around my entire property with barbed wire on top&#8230;&#8230;heh</p>
<p>Next time I look for one of these:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>The Awesome Dachshund</h2>
<p><br clear="none" /> </p>
<blockquote><p>The name &#8220;dachshund&#8221; is of German origin and literally means &#8220;badger dog&#8221;, from Dachs (&#8220;badger&#8221;) and Hund (&#8220;dog&#8221;). Dachshunds have been kept by royal courts all over Europe, including that of Queen Victoria, who was particularly enamored of the breed.[47] They were originally bred for hunting badgers by trailing scent.</p>
<p>The first verifiable references to the dachshund, originally named the &#8220;Dachs Kriecher&#8221; (&#8220;badger crawler&#8221;) or &#8220;Dachs Krieger&#8221; (&#8220;badger warrior&#8221;), came from books written in the early 18th century.[48] Prior to that, there exist references to &#8220;badger dogs&#8221; and &#8220;hole dogs&#8221;, but these likely refer to purposes rather than to specific breeds. The original German dachshunds were larger than the modern full-size variety, weighing between 30 and 40 lb (14 and 18 kg), and originally came in straight-legged and crook-legged varieties (the modern dachshund is descended from the latter). Though the breed is famous for its use in exterminating badgers and badger-baiting, dachshunds were also commonly used for rabbit and fox hunting, for locating wounded deer, and in packs were known to hunt game as large as wild boar and as fierce as the wolverine.</p>
<p>There are huge differences of opinion as to when dachshunds were specifically bred for their purpose of badger hunting, as the American Kennel Club states the dachshund was bred in the 15th century, while the Dachshund Club of America states that foresters bred the dogs in the 18th or 19th century ~.wikipedia.org</p>
