"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

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.

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

with it, has stock certificates printedup and begins seeking investors.Happens all the time and it all appearsto be business as usual.
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
to buy in. At this point, all neat andlegal.

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
in a hospital several days later of a
kidney ailment.
Holiday's music continues to beincredibly popular, and the best win-
dow into her life is her autobiogra-
phy, Lady Sings The Blues.
In 1961, Holiday was elected by
the Readers into the Down Beat
Hall of Fame
For The Blues/Jazz
Confused
FROM THE CRADLE
the Holiday story is atragic one. As a resultof her impoverished
upbringing and herconstant bouts withdrug abuse (espe-cially heroin), her

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.

making a go of it there.The Frosty Frog has the distinction
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.
Some speculate that 2010
will be a pivotal year for

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.

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. They couldn't believe it. Theysaid, "Man, what happened?" He said, "Well, we got ready for bed. I wentover and gently tucked Bob into bed, patted him on the butt, and kissed hischeek good night...
