TODAY IN HISTORY

Today in 1961 - "The Bullwinkle Show" premiered in prime time on NBC-TV.

In 1961 Rocky was booted off the headline and Bullwinkle got his own PRIME TIME SHOW!
I ask:

WHERE WAS THE PROTEST TO HELP ROCKY THE FLYING SQUIRREL??

(The show was originally on ABC in the afternoon as "Rocky and His Friends.")

Rocky the Squirrel got booted in 1961 and in 2009 ACORN
(Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now)
gets booted ....

Squirrels and their acorns get no respect!

Whoops: Anti-ACORN Bill Ropes In Defense Contractors, Others Charged With Fraud

Going after ACORN may be like shooting fish in a barrel lately -- but jumpy lawmakers used a bazooka to do it last week and may have blown up some of their longtime allies in the process.
The congressional legislation intended to defund ACORN, passed with broad bipartisan support, is written so broadly that it applies to "any organization" that has been charged with breaking federal or state election laws, lobbying disclosure laws, campaign finance laws or filing fraudulent paperwork with any federal or state agency. It also applies to any of the employees, contractors or other folks affiliated with a group charged with any of those things.
In other words, the bill could plausibly defund the entire military-industrial complex. Whoops.

TENT CITY NEWS

1. Arab Tent City in NY City

Gadhafi barred from erecting Bedouin tent in US

Qaddafi's tent-erection stopped by the US officials.

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 16:01:58 GMT - Town officials in Bedford, New York, have ordered workers to stop erecting Muammar Gadhafi's tent where he was supposed to stay during his visit to the US.

2. Tent City at the Pittsburgh's G-20 (Summit of the World's Richest Banksters) now going on with a tent city there!

Workers.org | Struggle for jobs comes to G-20

More than 1,000 protesters marched through the streets here on Sept. 20 demanding a real jobs program, like the public works program the Roosevelt administration enacted during the Great Depression of the 1930s.

3. Tent City created by the Sheriff in Arizona

TheAdvertiser.com | Here is how Sheriff Joe Arpaio handles jail overcrowding in Arizona. He conveniently created a "tent city jail."
In Phoenix, intensity in tent city

"It feels like we are in a furnace," said an inmate who has lived in the tents for 1 1/2 years. "It's inhumane." Joe Arpaio is not one bit sympathetic. He replied, "It's 120 degrees in Iraq and our soldiers are living in tents, too. They have to wear battle gear, and they have not committed crimes."
Here is how Sheriff Joe Arpaio handles jail overcrowding in Arizona. He conveniently created a "tent city jail."
He has prison meals down to 40 cents a serving and charges the inmates for them. He cut off coffee since it has zero nutritional value.
He stopped smoking and porno magazines in the prison; took away their weights; cut off all but "G" movies; and took away cable TV until he found out there was a federal court order that requires cable TV in jails. So he hooked up the cable TV again only let in the Disney Channel and the Weather Channel.
With temperatures being even hotter than usual in Phoenix (116 degrees), about 2,000 inmates living in a barbed-wire-surrounded tent encampment at the Maricopa County jail have been given permission to strip down to their government-issued pink boxer shorts.

4. Tent Cities are springing up all over the country due to the "recession"

TODAY'S PREPAREDNESS TIP:

DO YOU HAVE YOUR TENT YET IN CASE THE SHTF
(S...stuff Hits The Fan)?

This is for the person with a lot of stuff they're carrying around

Interesting design

Another option if the SHTF instead of living in a tent - directly off the DrudgeReport this morning:

Meet the people living in giant drains underneath Las Vegas strip...

No rain in LA since June 5th - but they are still having problems with too much water!
I would note that earthquakes really mess up underground pipes, etc!

September 24, 2009 LOS ANGELES — Although the Los Angeles River looks more like a rain-starved trickle these days, parts of this drought-stricken city have been awash in an unusual sight — torrents of floodwater sweeping cars off streets and barbecues out of backyards.
Not a drop of rain has fallen on Los Angeles since June 5, according to the National Weather Service, but aging water pipes have been blowing up at the rate of more than one a day in recent weeks.

a good quake could do some real damage to very crucial bridges ... etc.
