Happy Doomsday Leap Year 2012
It seems that you cannot leap from doomsday and that the end is near no matter what you do. Well at least if you are bachelor the end is near. Tradition has it that on the leap day of a leap year women may propose to men. And any man who refuses has to pay a steep penatly!

In the old days, one of my favorite ways to open up a movie, a book , or a TV show was the notion of some chararcter, entering a dusty old shop, and find a shelf in a backroom to another dimension, or finding an object which cannot be but is with powers it cannot have but it does....

State of the Union: Obama Promises
The Three Campaign Promises Obama is Certain to Keep
In my view, Obama has made three campaign promises he will definitely keep:
1) Full employment for foreign criminals
2) Make the price of electricity sky-rocket
3) Making the United States a Euro-Socialist country like Greece
In my opinion, Obama, by committing treason against the state of Arizona and “reviewing” the status of 300,000 criminal aliens, Obama is keeping his implied promise to employ all the illegal aliens that Mexico can send us and to give them the jobs of legal Americans. But wait there is more. Obama is offering citizenship to any foreigner who is willing to break three or more US laws. Some suggested laws to break are
1) Entering the country illegally
2) Obtaining a job under false pretenses. For instance, using a forged or stolen social security number or using no social security number.
3) Failure to pay income and social security taxes or paying such taxes with a forged or stolen social security number
Any legal American would be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for committing these crimes. However the illegal votes and bribes that Obama and the democrat party are, in my very own personal opinion, getting for encouraging criminal aliens to commit more crimes entitles the illegal aliens to rewards such as citizenship. So from my perspective, not only can democrats be bought, but once bought, they stay bought!!!
President Barack Hussein Obama believes in Global Warming and Climate Change. He also believes that Global Warming and Climate Change are largely the fault of the United States. Even if Obama did not believe in these things he certainly believes in making the United States a socialist country. And extreme environmentalism is a perfect way to destroy capitalism and institute socialism. Jacking up the price of electricity, especially electricity made from coal will almost certainly destroy a weak economy and give Obama the perfect excuse to implement state control of everything. Welcome to the Peoples Republic of America, a Socialist State.

A time of change or so the Chinese zodiac says. Didn't Barack Hussein Obama designate himself the agent of change? Looks like the republicans will have an uphill struggle.

2012 Predictions: The Great Chinese Pollution Riots of 2012
...
But in hidden corners of industrial China, in harsh outlying district, there are places where no bureaucrat from the Chinese central government ever ventures, because he knows he will be both uncomfortable and unwelcome in such a sparse setting. It is easy then for local officials and factory managers to convince the centralized bureaucrats who would otherwise nose around, to report the industrial output as one quarter of its real value so that everyone involved can pocket the difference.

Chinese New Year 2012. Spring Festival and Golden Week. Lantern Festival.
The beginning of the Chinese New Year season is called the Spring Festival or the Golden Week. There are several Golden Weeks in China around various holidays throughout the year.
The Chinese holiday calendar is based on the moon so one could almost wish people a “Happy Lunar New Year” as opposed to a Chinese New Year or a Spring Festival.
Some say that for the Chinese, the Spring Festival is the most important holiday and that it is similar in significance to Christmas in the west. It is a time when families reunite and when special meals are cooked and eaten. It is even a time for buying and exchanging gifts. And the children get special presents. It is import to wish everyone that you care about good fortune,good health and long life.
Chinese New Year is an especially fortunate time to receive a red envelope, there may be money in it.
The New Year’s season lasts for 15 days. The time it take for the new moon to become full again. Some of the days have special significance. For instance there are days set aside to show reverence for the dead or visit relatives. The 15 days period begins with the Spring Festival and ends with the Lantern Festival.
There are many traditions that are associated with bringing good fortune into the new year. Such as the donning of new clothes and shoes. This is particularly true for children who are often given money in red envelopes as well.
Thoroughly cleaning the house, clothes, and all kitchen utensils can be part of the Chinese New Year tradition.
Some people believe in using firecrackers and even special lion dances in order to bring about good luck or to hold the spirits that cause bad luck at bay.
Happiness blessings are to be seen everywhere in an area that is ushering in the Chinese New Year.
The Lantern Festival marks the end of the celebration of the Chinese New year. It is celebrated by lighting many colorful and ornate lanterns and by the eating of rice ball dumplings. Ancient tradition holds that the lantern festival is a time for solving puzzles and riddles.
The origins of the Lantern Festival are varied and colorful. Some think that the lanterns were lit to forestall the anger of vengeful Gods, others think the lanterns celebrate the joy of happy Gods.

2012 Predictions: The Great Chinese Pollution Riots of 2012
In China, a series of deadly and economically crippling pollution events will kill thousands and spark anti-government pollution riots. The government will call on the world’s top environmentalists for a conference. Since the top environmentalists will all be from the West, they will be offered double their western salaries to go forth and work as green proselytizers all over China. At it will appear that the Green infusion is working. The pollution alerts in China’s major industrial cities will abate and the air and water in many places will begin to become cleaner.
But in hidden corners of industrial China, in harsh outlying district, there are places where no bureaucrat from the Chinese central government ever ventures, because he knows he will be both uncomfortable and unwelcome in such a sparse setting. It is easy then for local officials and factory managers to convince the centralized bureaucrats who would otherwise nose around, to report the industrial output as one quarter of its real value so that everyone involved can pocket the difference....

Tim Tebow is Terrible
***

43% Of Americans are Idiots?
There is a story out that 43% of Americans think that God Almighty, the Creator of the Universe is helping some Nimrod named Tim Tebow win football games. There are children being starved and beaten planet wide and God has time for this? Only an insane God would waste His time in this way. But wait, there's more. In a national, political beauty contest, Obama got 43% in a hypothetical election against Ron Paul. My God, at least 4 in 10 Americans are idiots! But wait there's less. Even dumber than an Obama voter are the 37% of the hypothetical poll who would have voted for Ron Paul. Ron Paul's newsletters wherein he demonstrates hatred for blacks, Jews and gays disqualifies him utterly and immediately. Unless you think Greece and the Soviet Union are models of good government, voting for Obama is an act of shear stupidity in my book.

Chinese Cuisine: Buddha Jumps Over the Wall
Chinese Cuisine: Buddha Jumps Over the Wall
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is a Chinese soup that is said to be so tasty that it made the vegetarian Buddha go off his vegetarian diet. He supposedly literally jumped over a wall to get at whatever smelled so good while it was cooking.
I don’t know. To my western tastes it looks fibrous and fishy. These are qualities that if taken alone I do not find appetizing. When brought together, they compose a dish that makes me say: I’ll pass.
Even though I will not eat Buddha Jumps over a Wall, the ingredients and the name are so intriguing that I am moved to describe them to you.
It has shark fin in it. Despite the fact that some rave about the anti-cancer properties of shark fin, I will still pass.
Like any other food made for consumption by humans, the exact ingredients probably depend on who is making the soup. But traditionally the soup has contained shark fins, shrimp, dried sea cucumbers, mushrooms, ginseng, and something called wolfberries.
Buddha soup by some recipes can take up to three days to cook and can contain as many as 30 ingredients.
Some additional ingredients used in some variants of the soup are scallions, quail eggs, bamboo shoots, chicken, pork feet, fish maw, lamb, turnips, carrots, cinnamon, star anise, rock candy, dark soy sauce, bamboo leave and lotus leaves.
Shark fin is one of the more difficult ingredients to deal with. Some cooks say it should be soaked in vinegar over night. Given how tough the shark fin must be to take this kind of treatment even before it is cooked, one wonders what made the first gourmet think of eating it. Hunger I guess.
Just looking over the ingredients of the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup it is obviously high in protein and calcium.
I am sure it will come as no surprise that some people claim that Chinese soups in general confer many health benefits to the consumer. I don’t know about Buddha jumped over the wall in particular , but some have claimed weight loss and the easing of tummy aches from eating the soups of China.
For those who like to know the origins of their cuisine, the Buddha soup is said to come from Fuzhou, in Fujian province.
Don’t attempt it unless you are a serious and patient cook.
