AHMADINEJAD PICKS ELECTION THEFT COHORT FOR CABINET AND PURGES THE FOREIGN SERVICE

PENINSULA: REUTERS

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad faced criticism from some lawmakers yesterday for nominating as his new science minister an official who helped organise June’s disputed election.

Kamran Daneshjou, who ran the Interior Ministry’s election headquarters during the presidential poll, will be in charge of universities and other higher education issues if the assembly approves him as new science, research and technology minister.

Parliament, which must approve each of the 21 ministers in the hardline president’s next cabinet, had been expected to vote on the nominees on Wednesday but it was delayed until Thursday after four days of at times heated debate.

“We need to vote on the proposed ministers by noon tomorrow,” Speaker Ali Larijani told the assembly.

The election, which was followed by huge opposition protests, plunged Iran into its deepest internal crisis since the 1979 Islamic revolution. The moderate opposition says it was rigged to secure Ahmadinejad’s re-election. Officials deny it.

“Considering the heat in the society after the presidential election, there are doubts whether the nomination of Mr Daneshjou will help to cool down the society or whether it increases the heat,” said MP Mohammad-Qassim Osmani.

Another MP critical of Daneshjou’s nomination, Amin Shabani, told the assembly: “The question is whether the university environment will accept a renowned political and security figure like you as a scientific figure?”

GULF TIMES:

Iran is replacing 40 of its ambassadors, including some who voiced support for “rioters” during the unrest that erupted after June’s disputed election, the semi-official Fars News Agency reported.

Commenting on the report, foreign ministry spokesman Hassan Qashqavi said Iran had more than 130 diplomatic missions abroad and that replacing about 45 envoys each year was normal, state broadcaster IRIB said on its website.

He said such replacements usually happened during the summer. IRIB’s report made no mention of any of the ambassadors allegedly backing post-election protesters.

Citing informed sources, Fars said late on Tuesday that the envoys were given notification that their diplomatic postings had been terminated.

It did not give details on which ambassadors were affected.

“Some of these people officially took positions during the recent riots in Iran in support of rioters,” Fars said. “It is supposed that the new ambassadors will be selected from committed experts loyal to the basis of the (1979 Islamic) revolution,” it said.

AND OBAMA IS SENDING THEM LOVE NOTES, ASKING FOR A TRYST!

I ACTUALLY HOPE OBAMA GETS TO MEET WITH AHAMDINEJAD AND KHAMENI: THESE LEFT-WING THUGS DESERVE EACH OTHER.

WOODS HOLE OCEANOGRPAPHIC INSTITUTE STUDY PUBLISHED IN NATURE: AGW ALARMISTS' RECONSTRUCTIONS AND PREDICTIONS MIGHT BE WAY OFF

Woods Hole embraces the Medieval Warm Period – contradict Mann’s proxy data

The study is published in the journal Nature.

In a joint project with the Indonesian Ministry of Science and Technology (BPPT), the study’s authors, Delia Oppo, a paleo–oceanographer with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and her colleagues Yair Rosenthal of Rutgers State University and Braddock K. Linsley of the University at Albany-State University of New York, collected sediment cores along the continental margin of the Indonesian Seas and used chemical analyses to estimate water past temperatures and date the sediment. The cruise included 13 US and 14 Indonesian scientists.

“This is the first record from the region that has really modern sediments and a record of the last two millennia, allowing us to place recent trends in a larger framework,” notes Oppo.

... “The more interesting and potentially controversial result is that our data indicate surface water temperatures during a part of the Medieval Warm Period that are similar to today’s,” says Oppo. NH temperature reconstructions also suggest that temperatures warmed during this time period between A.D. 1000 and A.D. 1250, but they were not as warm as modern temperatures. Oppo emphasizes, “Our results for this time period are really in stark contrast to the Northern Hemisphere reconstructions.”

... Oppo comments, “Although there are significant uncertainties with our own reconstruction, our work raises the idea that perhaps even the Northern Hemisphere temperature reconstructions need to be looked at more closely.”

The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution is a private, independent organization in Falmouth, Mass., dedicated to marine research, engineering, and higher education. Established in 1930 on a recommendation from the National Academy of Sciences, its primary mission is to understand the oceans and their interaction with the Earth as a whole, and to communicate a basic understanding of the oceans’ role in the changing global environment.

BOTTOM-LINE: AGW IS NOT PROVEN, NOR IS AGW THE CONSENSUS.

COMPUTER MODELS THAT AGW ALARMISTS USE TO PREDICT CATASTROPHE ARE NOT ACCURATE.

CLIMATE CHANGE IS NATURAL AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN AND THE GEOLOGICAL RECORD IS REPLETE WITH PROOF WHICH DIRECTLY CONTRADICTS THE AGW CROWD'S ANTI-CO2/ANTI-GREENHOUSE GASES SCENARIOS.

OBAMA TO TRY TO PRESS RESET BUTTON ON OBAMACARE IN JOINT SESSION ON 09/09/09

POLITICO:

President Barack Obama will address a joint session of Congress on health care reform in prime time on Wednesday, Sept. 9, a senior official tells POLITICO.

Obama will receive House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid at the White House the day before for a previously scheduled sit-down.

The last time a president addressed a joint session of Congress that wasn’t a State of the Union, or the traditional first address by a new president, was Sept. 20, 2001, when President George W. Bush spoke on the war on terrorism following the 9/11 attacks.

A JOINT SESSION!?!?!?

I GUESS AXELOROD THINKS THAT OBAMACARE IS AS BIG A DISASTER FOR OBAMA AS 9/11 WAS FOR THE USA!

ON 09/09/09. HMMM... WHAT DOES THAT SPELL UPSIDE DOWN?

SERIOUSLY, OBAMA, AXELROD, RAHM AND THE LEFT HAVE MADE THIS THEIR OWN PRIVATE WATERLOO.

THEY HAVE LIED AND CALLED OUR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM BROKEN AND A FAILURE AND AN EMERGENCY DESPITE THE FACT THAT WE NOW HAVE ON AVERAGE THE LONGEST LIVING AND HEALTHIEST PEOPLE ON THE PLANET - - - YES: WE HAVE LONGER LIFESPANS THAT FOLKS IN THE EU!

ER, UM ... IF IT AIN'T BROKE, THEN DON'T FIX IT!

WE CAN MAKE IT BETTER,. BUT NOT BY HAVING POLITICIANS REDESIGN IT AND GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRATS RUN IT ON THE TAXPAYER'S DIME!

UNDER OBAMACARE, WE'D ALL BE TERRI SCHIAVO

TERRI SCHIAVO WAS DEEMED BY HER GUARDIAN - THE GOVERNMENT OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA - TO BE IN A PERSISTENT VEGETATIVE STATE AND WAS REMOVED FROM LIFE SUPPORT, STARVED AND DEHYDRATED TO DEATH.

UNDER NATIONALIZED/SOCIALIZED/POLITICIAN-DESIGNED/GOVERNMENT-RUN/TAXPAYER-FINANCED HEALTHCARE WE'D ALL BECOME TERRI SCHIAVO'S:

VIA DRUDGE: Patients with terminal illnesses are being made to die prematurely under an NHS scheme to help end their lives, leading doctors warn today.

In a letter to The Daily Telegraph, a group of experts who care for the terminally ill claim that some patients are being wrongly judged as close to death.

Under NHS guidance introduced across England to help doctors and medical staff deal with dying patients, they can then have fluid and drugs withdrawn and many are put on continuous sedation until they pass away.

But this approach can also mask the signs that their condition is improving, the experts warn.

As a result the scheme is causing a “national crisis” in patient care, the letter states.

It has been signed palliative care experts including Professor Peter Millard, Emeritus Professor of Geriatrics, University of London, Dr Peter Hargreaves, a consultant in Palliative Medicine at St Luke’s cancer centre in Guildford, and four others.

“Forecasting death is an inexact science,”they say. Patients are being diagnosed as being close to death “without regard to the fact that the diagnosis could be wrong.

“As a result a national wave of discontent is building up, as family and friends witness the denial of fluids and food to patients."

The warning comes just a week after a report by the Patients Association estimated that up to one million patients had received poor or cruel care on the NHS.

UNDER OBAMACARE WE'D ALL BECOME TERRI SCHIAVO.

DISSENT ACCORDINGLY.

MEDICARE AND MEDICAID DEFICITS PROVE OBAMACARE IS IDIOTIC

• 100% OF WORKING AMERICANS PAY INTO MEDICARE AND MEDICAID.

• ONLY A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF AMERICANS DRAW OUT OF THESE PROGRAMS.

• AND YET, THEY'RE RUNNING BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN THE RED.

• IF THE WHOLE NATION WAS ON MEDICARE, THE POLITICIANS WOULD HAVE TO RAISE THE CURRENT TAX AND START NEW ONES - LIKE THE VAT, OR NATIONAL SALES TAX --- LIKE THEY DO IN EUROPE.

• AND IN EUROPE - WHERE THEY TAX THE CRAP OUT OF YOU AND EVERYTHING YOU HAVE - THEIR HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS STILL RUN IN THE RED. BIGTIME RED.

• YOU CANNOT TAX PEOPLE AT A HIGH ENOUGH RATE TO PAY FOR POORLY MANAGED "THIRD-PARTY PAY" HEALTHCARE - WHICH IS WHAT ALL POLITICIAN-DESIGNED AND GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTHCARE DEVOLVES INTO.
• IF YO COULD, THEN BRITAIN AND FRANCE AND GERMANY AND ITALY - AND THE USSR! - WOULD ALL HAVE GREAT HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS DELIVERING GOOD CARE FOR ALL AND NOT RUNNING IN THE RED.
• BUT THE TRUTH IS, THEIR HEALTHCARE SUCKS COMPARED TO OURS: THE USA HAS HEALTHIER PEOPLE LIVING LONGER LIVES.

• POLITICIAN DESIGNED, GOVERNMENT RUN, AND TAXPAYER FINANCED (AND HENCE "THIRD PARTY PAY") GOODS OR SERVICES OR SYSTEMS CAN NEVER BE AS EFFICIENT OR AS COMPETITIVE AS PRIVATE SYSTEMS.

• ONLY COMPETITION CREATES EVER-INCREASING VALUE AND SERVICE.

• WE NEED MORE COMPETITION IN THE HEALTHCARE MARKETPLACE, NOT LESS.

• OBAMACARE WOULD TAKE US IN EXACTLY THE WRONG DIRECTION.

• GOOD REFORM WOULD INCLUDE: TORT REFORM; MEDICAL SAVINGS ACCOUNTS; INTERSTATE COMPETITION; AND RELAXED MANDATES - AND VOUCHERS FOR THOSE IN NEED.

• IT WOULD BE SIMPLER AND WOULD ACTUALLY LOWER COSTS AS IT IMPROVED CARE.

• OBAMACARE WILL INCREASE COSTS, INCREASE WASTE AND DECREASE CARE.

THOSE WHO SAY MEDICARE IS MORE EFFICIENTLY RUN WITH A LOW OVERHEAD THAN PRIVATE INSURANCE ARE DUPES OR LIARS.

MEDICARE RUNS A HUGE BILLION DOLLAR PLUS DEFICIT. THAT'S NOT EFFICIENCY. IT'S MISMANAGEMENT.

THERE'S NO REASON TO EXPECT A BIGGER GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTHCARE SYSTEM TO BE ANY BETTER; THERE IS EVERY REASON TO BELIEVE IT WILL BE WORSE.

Additionally, Mina Trudeau, executive director, El Fatiha Foundation; J. Saleh Williams, Congressional Muslim Staffers Assn.; and Mohamed Zakariya, Zakariya Calligraphy.

Compared to his National Prayer Day absenteeism, and his meager Passover Seder this says a lot.

Obama cares more about Islam than he does about the two religions which go together to make up the foundation of our nation.

Obama needs to be removed from office.

The "Animal Rights Czar" spells potential trouble for American farmers

One of the most effective ways a President influences public policy and law in a lasting manner is through regulatory actions taken by the federal government. It's not an area that typically garners substantial media attention because regulatory work is generally a highly technical matter performed by policy wonks largely unknown to the public.

Yet, despite their general obscurity, federal regulations have a substantial impact on virtually every facet of society. And the personnel who oversee the regulatory process have far greater influence than most would imagine.

Chief among the personnel who oversee the regulatory process is the administrator of an unheralded office within the White House's Office of Management and Budget called the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA). The administrator is also known as the "Regulatory Czar." Earlier this year the President nominated Cass Sunstein to run this office. Sunstein's nomination is now pending before the full Senate. A vote on his nomination is expected next week....

Some of Mr. Sunstein's views are troubling to say the least. He is on record supporting rights for animals including giving standing to private persons to sue on behalf of animals under existing laws. He has also stated that he believes there should be more regulation in the area of animal rights.

This is slippery slope to say the least. What will happen if he is presented with a regulatory situation where he is free to “follow the law” as well as advance his own personal views at the same time? And what if he uses the power of this office to influence the law he then eagerly follows?

In my own past work experience, I’ve had substantial firsthand experience with OIRA. The office can be a bear to deal with since it has life and death power over regulatory actions. And I have seen how the personal views of OIRA staff can become dangerously problematic, as the regulators attempt to push the law in one way or another because they are in a position to affect (or even craft) law, not just follow it.

INSIDE THOSE CLASSROOM WALLS ON SEPTEMBER 8

As long as I'm posting about education today, I call your attention to this information over at Gateway Pundit: "Dear Leader to Address Youth On Community Life & Sharing." Excerpt from that posting:

Dear Leader will address the beloved youth on September 8th.

In an unprecedented move, President Obama will address the nation's youth at their institutions of indoctrination [Grades K-12].

The White House even released a list of questions for the youth members to discuss before, during and after Dear Leader's blessed address...

President Obama’s Address to Students Across America September 8, 2009 -

Chairman Obama is Using Tax Dollars for Partisan Propaganda

This is so illegal as to be surreal. Of course, it wouldn't be the first time. Now they're using the NEA. They held a conference call to discuss it, not counting on someone with a soul and a moral compass from Big Hollywood being on the phone. Besides being highly illegal, it's just plain sad. How pathetic is their ideology, how indefensible is their legislation, how unscrupulous are those in charge of it that they have to go all Mao to push it? And how stupid and shallow are its adherents that they would believe in it? Seriously. If you can't argue your case, just concede that you're wrong. You can always go ad hominem, again de facto admitting that your point is indefensible, and blame Bush. We're used to this pathetic behavior by now. But I'll be damned if my tax dollars will be paying for it.

Also, note how this propaganda, like Obama's original Hitlercare propaganda, so unabashedly resembles actual Nazi iconography as to rule out any argument that this could be unintentional. It's at 5:24 in the third video.

Update: See below. (Thanks, Eeyore.)

You know, there's a box you can check on your tax forms that allows you to donate to the DNC if you want to. Oh wait, DNC voters don't pay taxes.

New Video From A4A: Shariah Finance - USA Lawsuits and AIG

Like forcing all females into permanent prostitution under threat of death? Think raping kids, even your own, is awesome? Wanna kill a bunch of Jews and Christians? Then put your money in AIG!

Or just pay your taxes. Besides being unconstitutional for bailed-out companies to engage in (if Islam is actually a religion, which it's not) and absolutely treasonous in any event, Sharia banking is fraudulent. They sell it as being "low risk," "ethical", "socially acceptable", and "interest free," thereby engaging in securities fraud. It's also discriminatory because those who are not in on it pick up the tab for the interest on behalf of those who are. These people must be stopped. Ever notice how every advocate of it is either a headbanger jihadi or on the Saudi dole?

Click here to see the abomination.

The byline of the ad is,

"The Tsunami killed 100 times more people than 9/11.

The Planet is brutally powerful. Respect it. Preserve it."

ONE THING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE OTHER,

AND THE TWO SHOULD NEVER BE CONFUSED BY ANYONE WITH ANY SENSE OF MORALITY.

A TSUNAMI IS AN ACT OF NATURE. TSUNAMIS HAPPEN.

THE 9/11 ATTACKS WERE TERRORIST ATROCITIES MEANT TO KILL AS MANY HUMAN BEINGS AS POSSIBLE.

THERE IS NO MORAL DIMENSION TO A NATURAL DISASTER.

THERE IS A MORAL DIMENSION TO A TERRORIST ATTACK.

THE WORLD WILDLIFE FUND IS TRYING TO INSINUATE THAT IF WE WOULD "PRESERVE" THE EARTH, TSUNAMIS WOULD NOT HAPPEN.

THERE IS NO BASIS FOR THAT CLAIM. NONE AT ALL.

YOU CAN'T EVEN ATTATCH TSUNAMIS TO GLOBAL WARMING, EVEN IF YOU DO BELIEVE IN GLOBAL WARMING.

A TSUNAMI IS CAUSED BY EARTHQUAKES OR VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS IN THE OCEAN WHICH RESULT IN TIDAL WAVES.

THE WORLD WILDLIFE FUND IS COMPLETELY FULL OF CRAP.

IF YOU DONATE TO THEM, STOP IMMEDIATELY.

*******UPDATE (7:30 PM): THE WWF CONDEMNED THE AD; IT WAS UNAUTHORIZED AND THEY ARE SUING THE AGENCY DDB IN BRAZIL.

MORE PROOF THAT INDEPENDENTS ARE OPENING THEIR EYES - AND SEEING THE LIGHT: MAJORITY NOW DISAPPROVE OF OBAMA

CNN:

A majority of independent voters disapprove of how Barack Obama's handling his job as president, according to a new national poll.

Fifty-three percent of independents questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Tuesday say they disapprove of how Obama's handling his duties in the White House, with 43 percent in approval. That result marks the first time in a CNN poll that a majority of independents give the president's performance a thumbs-down.

HOW DID WE GET HERE? SIMPLE:

• OBAMA RAN A DECEITFUL CAMPAIGN:

• HE TOLD PEOPLE HE WAS A MODERATE WHEN IN FACT HE IS THE MOST LEFT-WING PRESIDENT ON OUR HISTORY.

• LEFTISTS KNEW HE WAS LYING BECAUSE THEY UNDERSTOOD THE CODE AND THE SLY WINKS.

• BUT INDEPENDENTS WANTED TO BELIEVE THIS TALL HANDSOME MAN WITH THE DEEP WARM BARITONE AND THE SWEET SINCERE SMILE,

• AND THAT DESIRE - THAT CREDULITY, AND WILLINGNESS TO SUSPEND DISBELIEF - WAS RUTHLESSLY EXPLOITED BY OBAMA AND AXELROD.

• WELL, OBAMA HAS GOVERNED AS A LEFTIST AND THE INDEPENDENTS ARE PISSED OFF.

• THEY NOW KNOW JOE THE PLUMBER WAS RIGHT.

• THEY FEEL BURNED, AND THEY WILL NOT BE BURNED AGAIN.

IT'S OVER: 2010 WILL BE A DEBACLE FOR THE DEMOCRATS - A WELL DESERVED ONE, COURTESY OF OBAMA - WITH HELP FROM REID AND PELOSI.

Nytimes: French Commies wake up: see islamization as major threat‏

NYTIMES:

André Gerin, a Communist Party legislator and mayor of Vénissieux, a Lyon suburb with many Muslims from North Africa, began the affair in late June by initiating a motion, signed by 57 other legislators, calling for the parliamentary commission.

“The burqa is the tip of the iceberg,” Mr. Gerin said. “Islamism really threatens us.”

In a letter to the government, he wrote: “It is time to take a stand on this issue that concerns thousands of citizens who are worried to see imprisoned, totally veiled women.”

THIS IS GREAT. THERE IS HOPE FOR EUROPE AFTER ALL. IF THE LEFT AND RIGHT WAKES UP, THEN THE CENTRIST/MAJOR PARTIES WON'T BE ABLE TO IGNORE THE PROBLEM.

Iranian Nuclear Threat Targets U.S. as well as Israel

And they don't need missiles to deliver it. Put the bomb on a ship manned by "martyrs" and sail it into New York harbour and Bingo! That way you will have shown "The Great Satan" a thing or two! And think how many Jews you would pop off at the same time! Any NY Jew who supported Obama is an imbecile. New York is the obvious target of first choice for the mad mullahs. Wasn't 9/11 warning enough?

The Islamic republic has test-fired missiles capable of reaching Israel, southeastern Europe, and U.S. bases in the Mideast — and published reports say Iran is within a year of developing its own nuclear bomb. Security experts warn that even one nuclear device in the hands of a rogue nation could be used against the United States in a devastating electromagnetic pulse attack, an intense burst of energy from an exploding nuclear warhead high above the Earth.

So why isn't the Obama administration doing more to prevent a nuclear nightmare? “I get very, very nervous about it,” Rep. Pete Hoekstra, R-Mich., told Newsmax.TV's Kathleen Walter. “I think Iran will have a nuclear weapon. I think now it's only a question of when.”

The United States is caught in the middle of a Mideast faceoff between one of its strongest allies, Israel, and Iran. Iran has threatened to wipe Israel off the map, and Israel refuses to rule out a preemptive strike against its adversary, while insisting that Iran must not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons. If the United States tries to prevent Iran from making nuclear weapons, its president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has vowed a campaign of bloody revenge.

Iran's hatred of Israel “is rooted in ideology,” said Walid Phares of Foundation for Defense of Democracies. “The Iranian regime is jihadist, and they do not acknowledge nor accept the idea that a non-Islamic, non-jihadist state could exist in the region.”

Although Iran is thousands of miles from America's shores, its belligerent actions could have far-reaching repercussions. A regional war or nuclear attack could cause an already shaky U.S. economy to collapse.

Even scarier is the growing threat of an electromagnetic pulse attack, security analysts say. Such an attack could destroy all electronic devices over a massive area, from cell phones to computers to America's electrical grid, experts say. “Within a year of that attack, nine out of 10 Americans would be dead, because we can't support a population of the present size in urban centers and the like without electricity,” said Frank Gaffney, president of the Center for Security Policy. “That would be a world without America, as a practical matter. And that is exactly what I believe the Iranians are working towards.”

President Barack Obama has committed the U.S. government to a diplomatic approach for resolving the high-stakes nuclear dispute, but Iran has rebuffed Obama's overtures. Meanwhile, Congress is working on legislation to grant Obama the power to impose crippling sanctions on Iran if the talk-first approach doesn't work.

Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., says such sanctions are long overdue. “A nuclear Iran is a threat to the Iranian people, to Israel, to the Middle East, to the national security of the United States. And what is Congress doing about it? Nothing. We have proposed legislation time and time again to have real, substantial sanctions leveled against Iran. Now, we like to point fingers and say the U.N. has not done enough, but really we should be pointing the fingers at ourselves.”...

“Eventually the Iranian regime, if not reformed from the inside, is going to get the nukes, is going to use them in a deterrence fashion, and eventually if there is a confrontation it may use them for real,” Phares said. “This revolt of Tehran may well become another Iranian revolution. Now its success is conditioned by how far the United States and the international community go in assisting this democratic movement.”

The more time Obama devotes to the diplomatic approach, critics warn, the more time Iran has to realize its nuclear ambitions and even sell its technology to other nations or terrorists. “I think the president's learning a lesson,” Hoekstra said. “I mean, the president was brutal on the previous administration on foreign policy, saying, you know, 'Your policy on North Korea is bad; your policy on Iran is bad.' Everywhere and anything the former president did in foreign policy was terrible [according to Obama], and he was going to come in and fix it. I think he's finding out that foreign policy is hard.”

What Signs of 'Right-Wing Extremism' Law Enforcement Are Trained to Look For

The most interesting part of this is in the beginning, where he says that the Southern Poverty Law Center invented the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. The Southern Poverty Law Center is the wackjob legal defense institution that tried to cash in on the DHS report on right-wing extremism until it came out that they also wrote it and provided 1/3 of the references for it. They get into some really interesting stuff about Morris Dees at the end.

Oh, and the SPLC has been holding hands and making googly eyes at Obama since day 1.

Pro-life people, Ron Paul supporters, Tenth Amendment defenders = terrorists.

Oh, and did you know that the KKK were conservatives? Fascinating, since the Democratic party was founded on slavery and they introduced and propped up every single piece of discriminatory legislation in American history.

Thanks to Americans for Limited Government for providing me with this.
