Miami advocates are pushing to relocate Haitian children to the U.S.

By TODD WRIGHT

Some of Haiti's most fragile - its children - have arrived at Miami area hospitals and for a few, Miami may become their new home.

So far, 23 patients from the earthquake have been treated at Jackson Memorial Hospital, with countless more likely to be airlifted from the island for treatment. Florida Sen. Bill Nelson has contacted all the children's hospitals in Florida and requested that they receive critically injured Haitian children in the aftermath of the earthquake.

Nelson on Friday said he also plans to introduce a "major Haitian relief bill."

But the injured won't likely be the only children coming to Florida.

This makes no sense at all. Why are they coming to America when we have some of the worst healthcare on the planet? Don't they know we're in the middle of reform right now? Maybe we can do this in a few years, but for now these children need to have access to the best healthcare on the planet.

Clearly, they should be sent to Canada, Cuba, England, or even France. Anywhere but the US where no one cares if the poor live or die.

Hill Briefed on Waterboarding in 2002
In Meetings, Spy Panels' Chiefs Did Not Protest, Officials Say

Sunday, December 9, 2007; Page A01

In September 2002, four members of Congress met in secret for a first look at a unique CIA program designed to wring vital information from reticent terrorism suspects in U.S. custody. For more than an hour, the bipartisan group, which included current House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), was given a virtual tour of the CIA's overseas detention sites and the harsh techniques interrogators had devised to try to make their prisoners talk.

Among the techniques described, said two officials present, was waterboarding, a practice that years later would be condemned as torture by Democrats and some Republicans on Capitol Hill. But on that day, no objections were raised. Instead, at least two lawmakers in the room asked the CIA to push harder, two U.S. officials said.

"The briefer was specifically asked if the methods were tough enough," said a U.S. official who witnessed the exchange.

Nazi Pussyoli, do you believe Americans are idiots? You are a hypocrite of the first degree. To paraphrase one of America's most enduring movies, Blazing Saddles:

"WE THE WHITE, GODFEARING CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES wish to express our extreme displeasure with your choice of criticizing President Bush for doing the same thing you have done. Please remove yourself from Congress immediately. The fact that you still stay there just goes to prove that you are the leading asshole in the country!"

Mission Accomplished!

Militant Group Is Out of Baghdad, U.S. Says

By DAMIEN CAVE
Published: November 8, 2007

BAGHDAD, Nov. 7 — American forces have routed Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia, the Iraqi militant network, from every neighborhood of Baghdad, a top American general said today, allowing American troops involved in the “surge” to depart as planned.

Maj. Gen. Joseph F. Fil Jr., commander of United States forces in Baghdad, also said that American troops had yet to clear some 13 percent of the city, including Sadr City and several other areas controlled by Shiite militias. But, he said, “there’s just no question” that violence had declined since a spike in June.

“Murder victims are down 80 percent from where they were at the peak,” and attacks involving improvised bombs are down 70 percent, he said.

General Fil attributed the decline to improvements in the Iraqi security forces, a cease-fire ordered by the Shiite cleric Moktada al-Sadr, the disruption of financing for insurgents, and, most significant, Iraqis’ rejection of “the rule of the gun.”

Congrats to the US and the victorious men and women in the US military! Now that we've killed most of the terrorists in Iraq, let's move on to Iran, etc. and kill some more there! (In other words, treat them exactly as they would treat us. I'm all for equality here, people!)

Clinton: Bring Your Mops, Vacuum Cleaners and Brushes

November 05, 2007 12:48 AM

ABC News' Eloise Harper reports: Not only is Senator Clinton comfortable in the kitchen, she wants you to bring your mops, vacuum cleaners and brushes when she gets to the White House.

Clinton speaking in West Burlington, IA, told a story about how she is going to clean up the White House. Telling it, Clinton rested her hand on her head and said "oh my goodness I feel like we are going to get into the White House again and we are going to walk around and say where do we start to clean up this mess?" Clinton remembered an audience member who shouted once out when she told this story before - "that's what women are good at cleaning up the mess." Clinton said "bring your vacum cleaners bring your brushes bring your brooms bring your mops."

Mrs. Clinton, are you going to reinstall the "W's" back on White House computers? Are you going to pay for that lamp you broke? Are you going to throw out that pile of newspapers the Rose Law Firm billing records were under?

Strike set to silence talk shows

The Writers Guild of America has asked its 12,000 members to stop working and set up picket lines from Monday.

It wants more cash for work which goes on "new" media such as DVDs or online.

Shows hosted by stars such as Jay Leno, David Letterman and Jon Stewart are expected to stop almost immediately as they rely on a supply of topical jokes.

It was anticipated NBC would broadcast repeats of Leno's programme, The Tonight Show, plus Late Night with Conan O'Brien and Saturday Night Live from Monday if the walkout went ahead, the Hollywood Reporter said.

It also said old episodes of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report would be screened under contingency plans by the Comedy Central channel.

Two questions:

Why do talk shows have writers?

Why do talk shows need writers?

Just fuckin' talk, jagoffs!

Even Harvard Finds The Media Biased

Thursday, November 01, 2007 4:30 PM PT

Journalism: The debate is over. A consensus has been reached. On global warming? No, on how Democrats are favored on television, radio and in the newspapers.

Just like so many reports before it, a joint survey by the Project for Excellence in Journalism and Harvard's Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy — hardly a bastion of conservative orthodoxy — found that in covering the current presidential race, the media are sympathetic to Democrats and hostile to Republicans.

Democrats are not only favored in the tone of the coverage. They get more coverage period. This is particularly evident on morning news shows, which "produced almost twice as many stories (51% to 27%) focused on Democratic candidates than on Republicans."

The most flagrant bias, however, was found in newspapers. In reviewing front-page coverage in 11 newspapers, the study found the tone positive in nearly six times as many stories about Democrats as it was negative.

I can't wait for the media to tell us the sky is blue. You know, just so we get the official word...

Hillary backed lab of donor

By Jim McElhatton
October 30, 2007

James Watson retired from his New York lab after suggesting that Africans are not as intelligent as Westerners.

Lawmakers, including Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, have taken thousands in campaign cash from an embattled Nobel-prize winning scientist while earmarking federal money for his New York lab.

Mrs. Clinton and Sen. Charles E. Schumer, also a New York Democrat, requested a $900,000 earmark in June for the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, where James D. Watson served as chancellor before resigning last week after apologizing for comments that suggested that people descending from Africa aren't as intelligent as those from Europe.

Who's surprised at that? It's pretty much common knowledge that Hitlery Clinton is one of the most racist politicians in America. This just confirms what we already knew.

Well, if it's Science, it must be true...

Fury at DNA pioneer's theory: Africans are less intelligent than Westerners

Celebrated scientist attacked for race comments: "All our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours - whereas all the testing says not really"

By Cahal Milmo

Published: 17 October 2007

One of the world's most eminent scientists was embroiled in an extraordinary row last night after he claimed that black people were less intelligent than white people and the idea that "equal powers of reason" were shared across racial groups was a delusion.

James Watson, a Nobel Prize winner for his part in the unravelling of DNA who now runs one of America's leading scientific research institutions, drew widespread condemnation for comments he made ahead of his arrival in Britain today for a speaking tour at venues including the Science Museum in London.

The 79-year-old geneticist reopened the explosive debate about race and science in a newspaper interview in which he said Western policies towards African countries were wrongly based on an assumption that black people were as clever as their white counterparts when "testing" suggested the contrary. He claimed genes responsible for creating differences in human intelligence could be found within a decade.

And who are we to argue with Science?

Newspaper delivery halted after excessive budget woes

Jay Baker
Assistant News Editor

Students who became accustomed to getting The New York Times in classes last year are probably wondering where their copies are this year.

But the delivery of the newspaper has fallen victim to budget cuts, leaving students without the daily newspaper.

Last year, nearly 1,000 copies of the newspaper were delivered to UTM daily through a redership program sponsored by the American Democracy Project (ADP) and funded by the Division of Academic Affairs.

“It’s even more cloudy than it may seem. We’re still trying to pursue funding. It may even be here this fall,” said Mike McCullough, professor of management and UTM’s ADP chair.

At 35 cents a paper, plus $100 a week for delivery, Academic Affairs paid about $1,000 a semester for the NYT last year, McCullough said.

This year there is a greater demand for the NYT to be used in classes ranging from history, English, sociology to political science and even chemistry.

This is absolutely terrible!!! But somehow, I believe the University of Tennesse at Martin students (Go Skyhawks!) will be able to get their daily dose of liberal claptrap without the NY Times...

"Angie and I will consider tying the knot when everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able," the 42-year-old actor reveals in Esquire magazine's October issue, on newsstands Sept. 19.

Brad? Gellina or whatever the fuck it is you call yourself? Does that mean you won't get married until a 30-year old guy can marry a 10 year old girl or are you taking about fags?

Lawmakers Reject Immediate Iraq Withdrawal

Nov 19, 7:56 AM (ET)

By LIZ SIDOTI

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Republican-controlled House spurned calls for an immediate pullout of troops from Iraq in a vote hastily arranged by the GOP that Democrats vociferously denounced as politically motivated.

"To cut and run would invite terrorism into our backyards, and no one wants to see troops fighting terrorism on American soil," Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., said Friday night after the House, as planned, rejected a GOP-written resolution for immediate withdrawal.

The vote, held as lawmakers rushed toward a two-week Thanksgiving break, was 403-3.

Well shit on a stick! I thought we were in a "quagmire!" Now I learn it really isn't all that bad in Iraq. At least not bad enough to bring the boys home.

Democrats, you fucked up. You had the perfect opportunity to go on record for bringing the troops home from the quagmire called Iraq, but you chose to leave them there, didn't you? Jag-offs...

THEY LIED TO GET US IN THIS WAR!!!

2005-10-25T15:30:00.000-07:00

Oh yeah...I'm talking about the press.

"A quick search through the [New York} Times archives before 2001 produces such headlines as "Iraq Has Network of Outside Help on Arms, Experts Say"(November 1998), "U.S. Says Iraq Aided Production of Chemical Weapons in Sudan"(August 1998), "Iraq Suspected of Secret Germ War Effort" (February 2000), "Signs of Iraqi Arms Buildup Bedevil U.S. Administration" (February 2000), "Flight Tests Show Iraq Has Resumed a Missile Program" (July 2000). (A somewhat shorter list can be compiled from The [Washington] Post's archives, including a September 1998 headline: "Iraqi Work Toward A-Bomb Reported.") The Times stories were written by Barbara Crossette, Tim Weiner and Steven Lee Myers; Miller shared a byline on one.

Many such stories appeared before and after the Clinton administration bombed Iraq for four days in late 1998 in what it insisted was an effort to degrade Iraqi weapons programs..."

Fuckers. Fuck them. Do they actually believe people listen to them anymore?

Journalists' Hotel in Baghdad Attacked

By ROBERT H. REID
Associated Press Writer

BAGHDAD, Iraq

Three massive vehicle bombs exploded Monday near the Palestine Hotel, home to many Western journalists, killing at least 20 people. Dramatic TV pictures showed one of the bombers driving a cement truck through the concrete blast walls that guard the hotel, then blowing up his vehicle.

Iraq's national security adviser, Mouwafak al-Rubaie, said the attack _ which appeared well-planned _ was a "very clear" effort to take over the hotel and seize journalists as hostages.

NOW they've done it! Now they've attacked Western journalists! Who cares about the US military, they've messed with the sacred 4th Estate! These Saddam loyalists are killing reporters so they can't exercise their 1st Amendment right to freedom of the press...haven't they ever heard of that?

Sadly and at last, terrorists may actually get some bad publicity from the US media. After that we should see some good human interest stories about how heroic it is to type out tomorrow's headline, while under a deadline, while under a table.

How many more newspaper reporters have to die in this war before the US media decides to pull out?

Now why in the world would he do that? I thought kids were starving to death in this country? Why would he want kids to eat less if they already can't get enough?

The Movie: Ronnie Earle, on a Mission from God
By Byron York

A new film featuring Travis County, Texas prosecutor Ronnie Earle as he pursued the investigation that led to the indictment of House Majority Leader Tom DeLay portrays Earle less as a partisan figure than as a messianic leader on a mission to rid American politics of the "evil" influence of money.

"The root of the evil of the corporate and large-monied interest domination of politics is money," Earle says as he takes the filmmakers on a nighttime drive around Austin. "This is in the Bible. This isn't rocket science. The root of all evil truly is money, especially in politics. People talk about how money is the mother's milk of politics. Well, it's the devil's brew. And what we've got to do, we've got to turn off the tap."

Just wondering...if he's interpreting the Bible the way he wants, (the actual quote is "The LOVE of money is the root of all evil" (1 Timothy 6:10) does that make you wonder if he's interpreting law the way he wants?

And what happend to the seperation of church and state? Come on, leftists! You're losing a big opportunity here! This is obviously one of those southern Bible thumpers you used to warn us about that's using political office to advance his personal religious beliefs. Or is that cool now?

Jimmy Carter: Elder Statesman, Child Pornographer

Carter shared two experiences that he said have been most memorable from througout all his travels and volunteer work.

He said he will never forget the image of a young woman holding her right breast, so swollen with the attempted exit of a guinea worm that it “looked like she was holding a baby in her arms.”

The second image Carter recalled was of a young Ethiopian girl’s eagerness to demonstrate that she, like her brother, could use the small latrine their father had made for them.

“She spread her skirt out very carefully and she squatted down to relieve herself.” Carter said.

Carter added jokingly, “We took some pictures of it.”

What's Up WIth The Death Numbers In New Orleans?

2005-09-12T15:49:00.000-07:00

Is it more incompetence? Perhaps not just from Mayor Nagin, but the press?

In the early days of his crisis, Mayor Nagin projected 10,000 dead.

Then someone in New Orleans ordered 25,000 body bags (where they got that number, who knows...it's 2.5 times larger than the mayor's figures.)

But as of today, the official death toll is only 150 dead.

What about Mayor Nagin? Is he a liar, or did he just have some "bad intel?

And if the press is wrong about those things, I wonder what else they could be wrong about?

I'm like - you've got to be kidding me. This is a natural disaster. Get every doggone Greyhound bus line in the country and get their asses moving to New Orleans."

While Nagin was waiting for his Greyhound fleet, Katrina's floodwaters swamped his school buses, rendering them unusable.”

Hmmm...so the dregs of New Orleans were too good to ride in school busses, but not too good to shit up the Superdome?

Dub Didn't Drop The Biz-all!

2005-09-08T15:57:00.000-07:00

"The Red Cross was reportedly ready to deliver food, water and other supplies to flood-ravaged refugees who were sweltering inside New Orleans' Superdome last week - but the relief was blocked by bureaucrats who worked for Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco.

Fox News Channel's Major Garrett reported Wednesday that the Red Cross had "trucks with water, food, hygiene equipment, all sorts of things ready to go ... to the Superdome and Convention Center."

But the Louisiana Department of Homeland Security, Garrett said, "told them they could not go."

"The Red Cross tells me that Louisiana's Department of Homeland Security said, 'Look, we do not want to create a magnet for more people to come to the Superdome or Convention Center, we want to get them out,'" he explained.

"So at the same time local officials were screaming where is the food, where is the water, the Red Cross was standing by ready [and] the Louisiana Department of Homeland Security said you can't go."

An American Red Cross representative tells Fox News that the Louisiana State Homeland Security Department refused the relief organization permission to take food and water to the Superdome because they did not want to "encourage people to go there."

They State office of Homeland Security wanted to get people out and were afraid that providing support would be a "magnet" attracting more displaced citizens of New Orleans."

Who dropped the ball on Hurricane Katrina?

2005-09-03T18:32:00.000-07:00

Not Dub, I can tell you that!

According to the Louisiana Disaster Plan, page 13, para 5:

"The primary means of hurricane evacuation will be personal vehicles. School and municipal buses, government-owned vehicles and vehicles provided by volunteer agencies may be used to provide transportation for individuals who lack transportation and require assistance in evacuating..."

HMMMMMMM!!!!! So it seems everything was executed exactly according to the STATE'S plan that was already in place!!!

How is this the federal government's (ie. Dub) fault again?????

It's Official: American Liberals Are Mentally Unstable

2005-08-26T13:23:00.000-07:00

Sleep and Dream Patterns of Political Liberals and Conservatives

Who didn't know that? We don't worry about these stupid fucking liberals; we're the ones who have a lick of sense and vote the right way!

Couple this with the fact they're all PEST's. That's Post Election Selection Trauma survivors. According to the American Health Association, PEST's have "feelings of withdrawal, isolation, emotional anger and bitterness, loss of appetite, sleeplessness, nightmares, pervasive moodiness including endless sulking, blah, blah, blah."

When you take that into account, is it any wonder the rest of the country belives that liberals are mentally ill? In fact, they're so crazy, no one is paying attention to them anymore. No one votes for liberal candidates in elections. No one believes a single word the liberal media vomits out and calls news. No wonder they act the way they do.

"A fastidious editor of other people's copy as well as his own, Roberts began with the words "Until about the time of the Civil War." Then, the Indiana native scratched out the words "Civil War" and replaced them with "War Between the States."

"Conservative U.S. evangelist Pat Robertson called for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, saying the leftist leader wanted to turn his country into "the launching pad for communist infiltration and Muslim extremism."

It's too bad Pat didn't adapt a stage show where he advocated the assassination of a world leader. I seem to recall that happening a year or so back. There was an off-off-Broadway show that dealt with the many different ways to assassinate President Bush. But the same people didn't get upset. I wonder why? (Nahh, not really!)

This reminds me of the press getting upset over Dub flipping them off. They weren't really insulted by this action, they were just surprised that someone could display something obscene without receiving a NEA grant first.

And as a history major myself, I can say it's a fairly interesting read. The book about salt may not be anyone's favorite subject but I applaud the author. This is all stuff we knew about the subject before; he just decided to put it all in a book for us. I'm going to give the Radzinsky tome a try myself...it looks rather tasty! Anyhoo, on to the list!

"The Great Influenza: The Epic Story of the Deadliest Plague in History" by John M. Barry.

Alexander II: The Last Great Tsar" by Edvard Radzinsky

Another "Why Isn't The Mainstream Press Reporting This" Story

2005-08-16T12:52:00.000-07:00

"Bush shown kissing Cindy [Sheehan] in family pix"

"Online photographs of Sheehans show 1st meeting with president"

Funny, but I've never heard of this story before today? I wonder why?

Terrorists Use WMD Against US Forces

2005-08-16T10:29:00.000-07:00

"Al Qaida has deployed bombs laced with toxins in an attempt to increase the lethality of attacks in Iraq, coalition military sources said.

On Aug. 9, the U.S.-led coalition found a suspected chemicals factory in Mosul with 1,500 gallons of chemicals.

A statement by the Multi-National Force said the facility was used to develop bombs mixed with toxins. The statement said Sunni insurgents succeeded in employing bombs that contained toxic chemicals."

Mainstream Media? Where the hell are you? This is the WMD JOhn KErry and Hitlery Clinton told you existed! Why aren't you reporing this?

Is The Confederacy Back In Vogue?

2005-08-16T04:58:00.000-07:00

I'm going to do something I've never done before. I'm going to axe a question without knowing the answer to it. Something has been puzzling me for a couple of weeks and I need your help to finger it out.

If the Confederate flag is something to be ashamed of and generally Americans believe it is a racist symbol...then why was "The Dukes of Hazzard" movie #1 in its first week of release and one of the top grossing flicks this weekend?

SAB* At It Again

2005-08-14T06:28:00.000-07:00

According to Cindy Sheehan, the world wouldn't have any terrorism if we would pull out of Iraq and if Israel pulled out of Palestine.

I'll tell you what. We'll pull out of Iraq as soon as we're done killing enough terrorists, umkay? And how about if we eliminate Palestinians from Israel? Wouldn't that accomplish the same thing? I mean after all, if all your enemies are dead, you'll have peace, won't you? I think it's time we give peace a chance.

In addition to that horsepiss, she is also refusing to pay her taxes. That's no big deal. If you can sit in a ditch in Crawford, TX for weeks at a time, it's pretty obvious you don't have a job in the first place, so how could you have any taxes to pay?

* Stupid Assed Bitch

What's Up With Cindy Sheehan?

2005-08-11T12:23:00.000-07:00

"The Sheehan Family lost our beloved Casey in the Iraq War and we have been silently, respectfully grieving. We do not agree with the political motivations and publicity tactics of Cindy Sheehan. She now appears to be promoting her own personal agenda and notoriety at the the expense of her son's good name and reputation. The rest of the Sheehan Family supports the troops, our country, and our President, silently, with prayer and respect."

"Her own personal agenda?" What exactly does that mean? Frankly, if we left it up to idiots like the ones at CNN we'd never find out. But we will.

Fuck The Rolling Stones

2005-08-09T16:51:00.000-07:00

Can you believe these assholes?

"Ready to drop in the coming weeks, a new Bush-bashing tune from the ROLLING STONES: "Sweet Neo Con."

"It is direct," Mick Jagger says with a laugh to fresh editions of NEWSWEEK.

"Keith [Richards] said, 'It's not really metaphorical.' I think he's a bit worried because he lives in the U.S." Jagger explains. "But I don't."

The full lyric also mocks National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice.

News about the song surfaced a few weeks ago with many expecting that it would not make the finally cut on the new CD, A BIGGER BANG."

Yep, that's just what we need, isn't it? A nice little morality lesson from a former heroin addict and a guy who both ate a Mars bar from Marianne Faithfull's yeasty snatch and got ramrodded by David Bowie.

Fuck them. Who the fuck are they?

"All 7 Aboard Russian Submarine Rescued"

2005-08-07T09:55:00.000-07:00

"Seven people on a submarine trapped for nearly three days under the Pacific Ocean were rescued Sunday after a British remote-controlled vehicle cut away undersea cables that had snarled their vessel, allowing it to surface."

Good news indeed! Nuff said.

More Bullshit On CNN

2005-08-04T16:28:00.000-07:00

Well, well, well! It seems the liberal wing of America has suddenly grown hymens on their eardrums! All of a sudden, they're offended that Bob Novak uttered a dirty word on live TV!

I seem to remember leftists thought the same word was cute when it was used by a member of the CNN crew to describe the investigation of Karl Rove. What happened? Oh yeah, I forgot. The liberals of America are hypocrites.

Pussyesque Cowards

2005-08-04T14:32:00.000-07:00

"In the days after President Bush won a second term, the number of U.S. citizens visiting Canada's main immigration Web site shot up sixfold, prompting speculation that unhappy Democrats would flock north."

"But official statistics show the number of Americans actually applying to live permanently in Canada fell in the six months after the election."

What's up with them? As usual, American liberals are all talk and no action. They fail to put up or shut up. If America is so bad...if Dub is so bad...THEN LEAVE, SUMBITCHES!!! Liberals in America are afraid of their own shadow. No wonder we keep whipping their asses in elections. They don't even believe their own bullshit. At least they're catching on to it. We did that YEARS ago! And they call themselves "progressives!"

It's All For (Fucking) The Children

2005-08-03T05:53:00.000-07:00

"The top executive at a Bronx youth organization said yesterday that the former director of Air America Radio received more than $800,000 in loans for himself and the radio network from the nonprofit organization while serving as its development director."

Typical. The ones that scream the loudest that we aren't doing enough are doing this? But we already knew that...

I wonder why we aren't hearing about this at ABCNBCNNCBSMSNBC...?

Suck on it, bitches!

2005-08-01T11:47:00.000-07:00

"President Bush sidestepped the Senate and installed embattled nominee John Bolton as ambassador to the United Nations on Monday, ending a five-month impasse with Democrats who accused Bolton of abusing subordinates and twisting intelligence to fit his conservative ideology."

Democrats, you're as fucked up as a football bat. If you believe Bolton is such a bad guy, why not take the opportunity to vote against him? Wouldn't that be a grand opportunity to seperate yourselves from what you consider an inept administration? Now all you can say is, "Well, you know what? If there WAS a vote, you can rest assured, I would have voted against Bolton." Way to take a stand, idiots.

But like I said, suck on it. Then when you're finished, suck on it some more! And then suck it again! And then...suck it!

Fuck Jimmy Carter

2005-07-31T09:40:00.000-07:00

"Former President Carter said Saturday the detention of terror suspects at the Guantanamo Bay Naval base was an embarrassment and had given extremists an excuse to attack the United States."

Let me think...exactly what were we doing to people in Gitmo on September 10, 2001 that caused an extremists to attack us then?

You know what's an embarrassment? An embarrassment would be double digit unemployment and inflation like we had in your presidency, you stupid jackass. Never mind the way you acted like a vagina when dealing with Iran back in the day. If you would have cleaned up, perhaps we wouldn’t be doing this shit right now. Pusshead…

"I now understand more clearly than I ever had before why you won in November 1980 and I lost." - Jimmy Carter speaking to "you-know-who!"

An Exit Strategy for the War...

2005-07-30T13:18:00.000-07:00

...that FDR started:

"The U.S. Army will pull out of 13 bases in southern Germany as part of its repositioning of American forces around the world, its European headquarters said Friday."

Hey! What's it been? Only since 1945, right? Now that's an exit strategy the left can live with! Well, I only assume they can live with it...they haven't been complaining about it for the past 60 years...

Leave it to Dub to fix another Democrat's blunder!

Thank you, Mr. President!

2005-07-29T12:21:00.000-07:00

Thank you for doing what we've been doing to the mainstream press for about 10 years.

The press tried its best to fuck you since you've been in DC and they just can't do it. Thanks for giving back a little of what you've been getting for 4 & 1/2 years.

I guess some people may be mad that Dub displayed something vulgar without first obtaining an NEA grant...

Illiterate judges

2005-07-29T11:32:00.000-07:00

Dear President Bush,

Please nominate justices to the courts who have the reading ability of a 4th grader. Once again, we have a judge ignoring the Constitution’s 10th Amendment. No where in the document does it say that anyone other than the states have the ability to regulate subjects that are not mentioned in the Constitution.

Other than that, you’re doing pretty OK.

Your pal & mine,

I hope this isn't one of those hollow promises like the ones made by the Allman Brothers or the Baldwin Brothers or whoever the fuck they were.

How To Grow Your Ass On Only $152 Per Month!

2005-07-28T11:13:00.000-07:00

Are you crying yet? Here's your weekly load of crap from some whiny, ingrate leftist. I don't know who it is and don't give a shit.

"So I spent a lovely couple of hours at the obligatorily ugly welfare office today, me and about 200 other moms & kids, waiting to see my worker for my yearly review in order to continue to get my monthly allotment of $152 in food stamps that comes between my family and starvation."

Can you believe this crap? She never thanks the taxpayers for giving her $152 in food stamps each month. Our tax dollars are going to people who won't piss in our mouths if our stomachs were on fire, but they gladly take our money, don't they?

On top of that...do you see the pic associated with that story? Her ass looks like 50 lbs. of chewed bubble gum! It seems that she's making it pretty good on only $152 a month.

Not that I mind. The fewer future criminals, drop-outs and Democratic voters we have, the better.

Dean Displays Dumbassity

2005-07-22T14:50:00.000-07:00

"Howard Dean, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, told a group of college Democrats that their party has to change its approach in the debate over abortion."

Well, well, well! Welcome back from the dead, Howie! And such a fitting topic to bring up since we haven't heard from you in the past month or so. It's either one or the other...you're either for more abortions happening in this country or you aren't; it's as simple as that. You aren't going to suddenly think of a new name to call yourselves that will play in Peroia. Peoria already know's who you are, you sawn-off dipshit.

I wonder why no one brought this up before? (Nahh! Just kidding, I know why! I just hope they remember it next year.)

"Rep. Harold Ford, one of the brightest young Democratic lights in the House and a Senate candidate in Tennessee next year, stunned colleagues by endorsing the Supreme Court's unpopular Kelo decision. That ruling permitted a Connecticut city to seize homeowners' property and transfer it to private developers."

"I've always been one to believe that individual rights is a big thing," but added, "there is some real value to this decision."

UN Says WMD Are Missing

2005-06-03T16:38:00.000-07:00

U.N. satellite imagery experts have determined that material that could be used to make biological or chemical weapons and banned long-range missiles has been removed from 109 sites in Iraq, U.N. weapons inspectors said in a report obtained Thursday."

I have a question...if the WMD never existed, how can they be missing?

The Newest News Slacker

2005-05-18T05:50:00.000-07:00

The Detroit Free Press. According to the story, "The Detroit Free Press will begin random post-publication fact-checking to look for inaccuracies that slip through its editors..."

Does anyone else see a problem with this? Post-publication checking? Why not do fact-checking BEFORE a story is published? And stories are only subject to random fact-checking? That means they clearly aren't interested in publishing stories that are correct all the time.

The funny thing is...the media doesn't even think it's doing anything wrong.

When News Kills, II

2005-05-17T08:40:00.000-07:00

Newsweek says it won’t accept the resignation of Michael Isikoff for his untrue story of interrogators who flushed the Koran down a toilet in plain sight of Muslim detainees.

The story set off riots around the Middle East, causing injury to many and death to 17 people.

It seems that Isikoff had a little “bad intell” and people died because of it. Isn’t that something a feller is supposed to lose his job over?

And blaming the Pentagon is laughable. “Well, our source at the Pentagon told us and we figured if they were telling us, then it was true.”

Basically, Newsweek is saying that reporters are more important than the story.

When News Kills

2005-05-16T06:38:00.000-07:00

How many people have to die because of the press corp's involvement in this stupid war? I pledge my vote to whatever candidate pulls our media troops out of Iraq! Peace at any cost!

Medicinal Marijuana In Tennessee?

2005-04-20T14:21:00.000-07:00

Now's our chance to get out of the 1940's! Tennessee, let's take this opportunity and tell the Feds they have no authority to force us to do what is not bound by the US Constitution. Marijuana, either medicinal or recreational, is not mentioned in the Constitution, so it's a 10th Amendment issue. The decision should be left up to the states to decide for themselves. Fellow conservatives, let's prove that we're are for less government intrusion 100% of the time!

MoveOn v. The Phoenix Group

2005-04-20T14:18:00.000-07:00

Here's a link to an interesting article about "The Phoenix Group," who is organizing new, progressive "think" tanks to combat the growing conservative political movement.

Wait a sec...what was that I heard a few months ago about MoveOn "owning" the Democratic party? Looks like there's a little of that dreaded competition! The Phoenix Group now meets secretly about their plans for the party without even informing Howard Dean. "Senior DNC officials were quietly briefed about the meeting in recent weeks. DNC Chairman Howard Dean was aware of it, in part though his friendship with Stein, but one senior DNC source said the organizers “kept that list [of attendees] kind of tight.”

Get ready for the biggest in-fight you've ever seen. We've got the Clintons v. Howard Dean v. MoveOn v. The Phoenix Group! This is the begining of the middle part of the end of the Democratic Party as a national force. If there are this many people tugging at the vocal chords of the Democratic Party, we don't have anything to be afraid of.

Letter to the Editor

2005-02-13T06:30:00.000-08:00

I sent this to the Jackson Sun today:

I took a recent letter’s advice and looked up the definition of fascism. I discovered it was born of socialism and Democrats currently support some of its key tenets. It seems fascists are reactionary, making policy based upon current conditions rather than preventing problems. Look at the Democratic policy regarding terrorism or Social Security and we clearly see who the fascist party is. Another example is chauvinism in which no one has equal rights, but there are varying rights based on characteristics such as race or creed. Democrats support Affirmative Action, creating rights for certain people while leaving others out. A third illustration of fascism is a pronounced hate and accepted public disdain of a specific group. At a January 29th press conference, Howard Dean, now DNC chairman said, "I hate the Republicans.” With his leadership, perhaps Democrats can get those other fascist traits checked off their list quickly.

Military Drug Hypocracy II

2005-02-12T13:27:00.000-08:00

If you're in the military, you should never take drugs that may cause confusion, hallucinations, paranoia and psychotic behavior. If you do, you may be court martialed for your actions. But if the government MAKES you take these drugs, it's okey-dokey.

Jobs Back To Normal

2005-02-05T08:23:00.000-08:00

Pretty good article...bad news for leftists!

"The gain in nonfarm payrolls in January came in below expectations for 190,000 new jobs, but was enough to return the nation's employment to where it was before the 2001 recession began. It also erased the jobs lost during President Bush's first term."

TennCare & the Florida Election

2005-01-30T05:17:00.000-08:00

Let me get this right...lefties the world over cried like babies when the feds stepped in and did what they did in Florida's 2000 presidental election. But now that they've stepped in and are telling the state of Tennessee that they MUST pay the healthcare costs of 320,000 people...you don't hear a damn word from them. What gives?

...and a soldier shall lead them...

2005-01-19T12:45:00.000-08:00

Here's a very interesting article by Lt Col. Tim Ryan, Commander, Task Force 2-12 Cavalry, First Cavalry Division in Iraq. Funny thing...it wouldn't have been written had the MSM (mainstream media) done it's job. This is more proof how they are out of touch with average Americans and it's a very good reason explaining why they lost the election for their candidate.

Does Social Security Need Saving?

2005-01-17T14:24:00.000-08:00

Not if you talk to liberals today. Everything is hunky dory. But back in the day (ie, the late '90's) they sang a different tune.

"What should we do with this projected surplus. I have a simple four-word answer: Save Social Security first." - Bill Clinton, 1998 State of the Union Address

"We have a great opportunity now to take action now to avert a crisis in the Social Security system. By 2030, there will be twice as many elderly as there are today, with only two people working for every person drawing Social Security. After 2032, contributions from payroll taxes will only cover 75 cents on the dollar of current benefits. So we must act, and act now, to save Social Security." - Bill Clinton, February 1998

So....does it need saving, or does it not?

Separation of Church & State-izzle, III

2005-01-16T12:21:00.000-08:00

If there is a separation of church in the US Constitution...is it appropriate to have a national holiday that celebrates the life of a southern baptist minister? I was just wondering...

Separation of Church & State-izzle, II

2005-01-16T08:45:00.000-08:00

Although I didn’t vote for him, I’d like to say thanks to Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen for following the strict adherence to the Democratic Party’s platform of separation of church & state. Many people are aware of the teachings of Jesus and how he told us it was our responsibility to take care of the poor and not the job of government. When Bredesen cut 320,000 people from the rolls of TennCare he gave the clear signal that the state will not prop up religion. The government’s use of tax dollars to take care of the poor is a clear endorsement of Christianity, which flies in the face of what our founders had in mind. Thankfully in 2005, we have a leader who refuses to force religion down our throats and will not use our tax revenue to legislate morality.

Iraqi War/Tsunami Hypocracy

2005-01-05T06:52:00.000-08:00

Why have we not heard cries of "what is the plan for the tsunami relief effort" or "how long are our troops going to be there?" I'd also like to know how the left will react when (I don't have a death wish here, but this is inevitable) military members die due to the relief effort? Will they say it's just not worth it-that one person dying is too many and that we should pull out? Will they ask how many members of our military must die before relief is established? The reason I ask is...Saddam Hussein killed millions of people, but we shouldn't be in Iraq because of it. Only a few hundred thousand died in the tsunami, it's no big deal...right?

Military Drug Hypocracy

2005-01-03T06:30:00.000-08:00

As a retired member of the armed forces, I have firsthand knowledge that the US military is the greatest force that has ever been on the face of the earth. However when they do crap like this, it makes me cringe.

It seems the military wants to stop drug problems before they start with the forces in Afghanistan and Iraq by increasing drug testing.

The problem I have with this is twofold. First, I have to ask...what will happen if a person comes up positive for an illegal drug? Will they be sent home?

Next I have to wonder how many soldiers who have told their commanders they are gay (no matter whether they are or not) are continuing to serve in combat zones? How many amputees have been returned to the fighting? If you can lose a limb and still go back, I don't see what the incentive is to be a member of the armed forces in Iraq and remain drug-free. I have to point out the hypocracy of the military, especially the Air Force (my former branch). The military has no problem giving it's members performance enhancing drugs when the military would benefit.
