Proud Infidel ranting about the ongoing war against democratic and secular values (Don't fool yourselves)! Maybe a voice of sanity in a wide ocean of madness.

Unions- what can you say?

No lenghty writings since I still just have one functioning arm. But I have to share this with you.

The building company Wäst-Bygg In Borås (SWE) wanted to give their builders a monthly salary of around 29 000 SEK (aprox $4007). But the union said no. They insisted on the workers having the union agrement salary of $ 3077. Wäst-Bygg thought that that was unfair and paid their workers $ 3967. But now the union has sued the company for $ 55 300 and they are forced to go for the union agreed salaries.

Kafka anyone!

The new Sweden

"The school has started. But not for Hampus, seven years old. He would have been the only Swedish child in the F1- class at the Gustaf Hellström school. Unacceptable, thinks his family and keeps him at home.

Last fall Hampus and his mother Anna Nilsson moved from Knislinge to Österäng. He started in a F2 class and at the beginning he had a couple of Swedish friends there but they moved away. Hampus was left alone as the only Swedish kid in school, and he (vantrivdes- no real translation for this word) -did not like it.

At the breakes all the other children spoke in their native language and Hampus never got into the play games.

- I don't want to be there because no one will play with me. I just run around in circels and gets panicked, Hampus says."

From Kristianstadsbladet. My translation, everything wrong is my fault. Hat tip to Fröken Sverige.

From a former Air Force Colonel....

Subject: The Date

First, let me say that I've moved three presidents up to now and I've seenincredible waste. But, the "new" guy really takes the cake. I don't havean issue with the President promising his wife dinner and a show or that heeven takes his wife out.

But, when I saw the news say that the date cost $24,000, here's what youDON'T know.

Three days before "dinner" a C-17 flew Marines and the helicoptermaintenance equipment to JFK Airport .

The day before "dinner" I flew the US Secret Service (USSS) and themotorcade to JFK Airport .

Our crew of 5 spent two days and nights at the Hilton in Times Square . Myhotel bill: $621.66 plus $64 a day in per diem. The USSS guys were at adifferent Hilton in NYC, so figure that cost another $14,000 (or so) plusper diem. The Marines had to have cost as much and were there four days, sofigure another $55,000 plus per diem (for 44 Marines).

We were supposed to fly the motorcade back and go home, but the Air Forcewas so short C-17's that we were re-tasked to take the motorcade back,return to JFK and take the helicopter back to Quantico.

When we got back to JFK, while the pilot was turning the plane around topark, he noticed a rotor blade sticking out of the hangar where thehelicopter was parked and informed me that either it wasn't ready to transport or it was flying home. After shutting down I walked over to thehangar and to my surprise I find FIVE helicopters, not ONE.

We're obviously not transporting five big helicopters. I went and talked tothe Marines guarding the "fleet" and found that they were flying all fivehelicopters home and we were only transporting the Marines and themaintenance equipment. After talking to the Marine(s) in charge, I was toldthat the White House requested FIVE helicopters. The Marines told me thatthey spent all morning trying to figure out how much it cost them to comeand said they figured it cost them $140,000 to stay there (I don't knowwhere they came up with that)and the trip's total had to be about $1,000,000.

We heard that the President didn't use Air Force One (the 747) so I asked if he came in on one of the 757's. I was told that he came in on THREE AirForce Lear jets.

So, date night consisted of:

2 C-17's flying three missions,

3 Lear jets,

5 Helicopters,

1 Presidential Motorcade,

44 US Marines, more than 20 USSS personnel on just our plane.

Who knows what it cost the NYPD and NY Port Authority (at the airport) in overtime.

These are the same people that chastised the automobile CEO's for using their aircraft. It further proves that the media only use the facts thatmake the President look good and hide any facts that will detract from his persona.

Is this the 'change' we expected?

Talk with friends and those who are not blinded by charisma. Many folks I know who voted for Obama are very disappointed and sorry they did so.

The Emperor's clothes on a grand scale.

"Transparency"? Remember, 2010 isjust around the corner. All we have to do is survive long enough...

I don't know of the authenticie of the sorce but this would not surprise me at all! Sorry for the bad formatting but just now I'm writing with just one working arm and don't feel like doing a lot of editing.

Hat tip to Every Kinda People.

Sorry for the ...mmm Inconviniencense? HOLY CRAP WHAT A WORD...

I've been working a lot these past few weeks. And when I have not, I have spent the time with my son.

Also, I'm now looking forward to the surgery of my shoulder (not really), so updates might be somewhat irradical (hope I spelled that right).

By god I'm sick and tired of surgery by now. Hope that it's coming to an end really, really soon.

But in the mean time... BEHAVE!
