CLASS CLASS!!!!
Gave my 1st presentation to the Columbus Middle School (6th grade art class) yesterday and all was well. Today's presentation will be better as I know have a clue of what 6th graders are interested in with my stuff. 90% were loving what I was saying and 10% were SOOOO BORED!!! LOL

While the Tea Party right wingers are REALLY interested in who is having sex with who in Washington and the Tea Party 9 in Wisconsin are calling on King Walker to arrest federal judges (seriously that are) something , under the radar has been quietly happening in the South China seas fort the last year.
You see China has been stealthy claiming ownership of the HUGE, strategically vital petroleum rich South and East China seas. And quietly (I guess not REAL quietly) the Pentagon has been slowly but deliberately moving more and more "resources" to the Pacific.
Already six Carriers are in the area. The B-1 bomber will receive new extended-range air-to-surface missiles next year. Guam is getting refurbished and fixed up. At the moment Australia ahs 250 Marines and will expand to 2500 and four brand new Littoral Combat Ships will be cruising around the shores of Singapore. hmmmmmmmm!
Notice Obama is taking a little trip to South East Asia soon. China is watching closely.

PLEASE NOTE - in the comments there is a rebuttal to the below which seems logical. HEY - just repeating what was told to me by some angry people yesterday (as I was complaining about a parking ticket I had received). SO - take the below with a grain of salt and thank you for correcting me. Never a problem being correct!!
Check out this awesome map. If cost tax payers in Columbus $1800 to advertise for the Chamber of Commerce. They told the City Council that it was to bring business to Columbus. Notice that unless you pay $$ to Chamber you are not mentioned.
I thought that since you had to pay dues to Chamber they would not have to spend Columbus tax dollars to fund themselves. If all the business that are NOT in Chamber for various reason (like funding the Republican Party) asked the City Council for $1800, would they get it? I hope so. From the sound of it it might happen.
I know I don't want MY tax dollar going for this map. OH - the other side lists all of the Chamber companies.
I'm not anti-map but this is clearly just an advertisement and I do not believe I should have to pay for it UNLESS, other non-chamber businesses are mentioned. What are they doing with their dues anyway. I HOPE Main Street Org will receive $1800 also.
But the real news is that Hostess has liquidated and you will never see Twinkies, Cup Cakes, Ding Dongs, Ho Hos, Sno Bals and the like ever again. SA IT AINT SO!!!

Five Hour Energy Drink - Come on good grief. OK - they are investigating 13 deaths allegedly from Five Hour Energy Drink. While I'm sorry for the loss do you know how much of this is consumed? In four years 1 billion four hundred thirty million little drinks have been consumed. And the big worry is from 13 alleged deaths? Over one million a day are swallowed.
You have a 1 in one hundred eleven million chance of allegedly dieing every time you consume one. Do you think there are other things we might be exploring. How many people have died from swallowing their iPads!! Just sayin'.
