Do the RIGHT thing

Hey everybody, I'm still here!

I have not been able or inclined to post recently, as you can tell. Part of it is four deaths in my family in the last two years have made me take some time away for reflection and practical matters that needed to be addressed.

However, tomorrow is election day and this is a big one. If you love America, do not hand her over to be ravaged by the socialists and anarchists of the left.

Vote McCain/Palin.

I will return shortly to regular postings. Thanks to all of you who voiced concern about my absence.

Barack's Boyz In The Bund

Obama doesn't want you to have weapons or free speech. He and his minions have been threatening television and radio stations to keep them from airing ads he disagrees with.

The latest target is the NRA and stations in Pennsylvania.

Earlier, Governor Matt Blunt of Missouri issued this statement on news reports that have exposed plans by Obama to use law enforcement to threaten and intimidate critics.

Pay attention America, the socialist fascist friends of Barack are on the march.

Another Attack Waiting To Happen

The man who predicted 9/11 says a major terrorist attack on the United States, probably featuring a weapon of mass destruction, is inevitable during the next four to five years. Marvin J. Cetron says the attack could come in as little as two-and-a-half to three years.

So, why after seven years are we still unable to seal our borders and account for who is in this country legally and illegally.

Is it any wonder the congress has ratings lower than a snake's belly? When are we going to elect people who will take as their primary task protecting and defending these United States?

The elections are at hand. Throw out those who have refused to make America their priority.

Never Forget

Remembering September 11th, 2001.

No Contest

The Presidential election was too close to call. Neither the Republican candidate nor the Democrat candidate had enough votes to win. There was much talk about ballot recounting, court challenges, etc., but a week-long ice fishing competition seemed the sportsmanlike way to settle things. The candidate that caught the most fish at the end of the week would win the election.

After much of back and forth discussion, it was decided that the contest take place on a remote frozen lake in northern Michigan.

There were to be no observers present, and both men were to be sent out separately on this isolated lake and return at 5P.M. with their catch for counting and verification by a team of neutral parties.

At the end of the first day, John McCain returns to the starting line and he has ten fish.

Soon, Obama returns and he has no fish. Well, everyone assumes he is just having a bad day and hopefully, he will catch up tomorrow.

At the end of the 2nd day John McCain comes in with 20 fish and Obama once again returns with none.

That evening, Harry Reid gets together secretly with Obama and says, 'Obama,I think John McCain is a low-life, cheatin' SOB. I want you to go out tomorrow and don't even bother with fishing. Just spy on him and see exactly how he is cheating.'

The next night (after John McCain returns with 50 fish), Harry Reid says to Obama, 'Well, tell me, how is the old snake cheating?'

Obama replies, 'Harry, you're not going to believe this, but he's cutting holes in the ice.'

Experience Counts

VOTE McCain/Palin

Obama Says Socialism Is Neighborly

Discussing his income tax plan on the O'Reilly Show, we have this classic from Obama.

"If I'm sitting pretty and you've got a waitress who is making minimum wage plus tips, and I can afford it and she can't, what's the big deal for me to say I'm going to pay a little more?" Obama said. "That's neighborliness."

So, Barack plans to tax us into being neighborly. If you're afraid of what else comrade Obama has up his sleeve, then vote McCain/Palin.

Why Obama Doesn't Wear The Lapel Flag

McCain supporters, have rescued 12,000 miniature American flags from the site of Barack Obama’s nomination acceptance speech last Thursday and redistributed them to audience members ahead of a McCain rally in Colorado Springs Saturday.

Democrats claim the flags were snatched to carry out a “cheap political stunt.”

But McCain supporters said the flags were discovered by a vendor at Denver’s Invesco Field after the conclusion of the Democratic National Convention. The vendor supposedly found trash bags full of flags in and nearby dumpsters, and turned them over to the McCain campaign.

Boy Scouts were sorting 84 bags of flags in Colorado Saturday morning, before a McCain supporter had veterans distribute them to the audience.

“We want to find good homes for these flags,” radio host Dan Caplis said at the rally, adding that whatever flags remained would be placed at memorials throughout Colorado.

Audience members, who booed when Caplis announced that the flags were left in Denver, waved the flags and chanted “U.S.A” ahead of McCain’s arrival at the rally with his running mate Sarah Palin.

As usual the liberals only value the flag and religion for what votes they may buy. And now you know for sure why Obama doesn't care about his lapel pin or putting his hand over his heart when the anthem is played.

Back In Blogland

I have returned, but I am too exhausted to do much more than announce it. After a little rest, I will be back at it. Thanks to all who left their kind wishes and sentiments.

We Interrupt This Blog

Due to a death in the family which will require me to go back to the east coast, blogging here will be infrequent if not non-existent.

Thanks for your patience, see you all when I return.

Obama'a Pay Grade

The question is, "Forty million abortions -- at what point does a baby get human rights, in your view?"

Here's the response from Barack Obama, "Well, I think that whether you're looking at it from a theological perspective or a scientific perspective, answering that question with specificity, you know, is above my pay grade. But let me just speak more generally about the issue of abortion because this is something obviously the country wrestles with."

This is what Obama has learned about creation while sitting under the black liberation theology of the profane Jeremiah Wright.

Theology, science, anything except political pandering is beyond him. Above his pay grade he says, somehow thinking he can fend off a direct question with the flippancy of a fourteen year old.

Obama is so shallow one would be hard put to dampen a finger plumbing his depth.

Enjoying The Day

After reading some of the responses to yesterday's posting, you have to wonder how the world survives when idiots abound.

I will be back tomorrow, but until then please continue your Russian ramblings of indignation. It is highly entertaining and I am fascinated to see there are so many of you determined to keep mother Russia a primitive, shoe banging, communist slum.

What Good Is Russia's Word?

CNN reports that Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has signed a cease-fire with Georgia. However, Russia will not completely withdraw from Georgian territory until its troops have supposedly finished cleaning up ammunition, weapons and boobytraps left behind by Georgian troops.

Knowing that a Russian signature on a piece of paper has no value, what exactly this means to the security and sovereignty of Georgia is questionable. Russia eill use any excuse to retake the old soviet empire.

The return of the old Russia driven by comrade Putin is even threatening Poland, saying that Poland is now at risk of attack, perhaps with nuclear weapons. This is a Russia that wants peace? Nothing has changed, they are still the enemy.

More Edwards' Hanky Panky?

CNN reports that John Edwards' political action committee paid his mistress $14,000 after she stopped working for him to obtain 100 hours of unused videotape she had shot for his unsuccessful presidential campaign. However, she had already been paid $100,000 for the programs.

This is a poor attempt to justify a payment in April 2007 to Hunter. The money came from Edwards' OneAmerica political action committee, whose expenditures are governed by U.S. election laws. Willfully converting money from a political action committee for personal use would have be a federal criminal violation. So, now Edwards' will begin the shyster shuffle to avoid the consequences of his actions.

Here's the best part David "Mudcat" Saunders, who served as Edwards' chief adviser on rural affairs said, "I talked to John and he's not doing well,"he's just -- to be very frank with you -- he's just not doing well. He needs to be concentrating on himself and his family at this point in his life. He's a good boy. He just made a hell of a mistake."

A good boy? Not doing well? Good boys don't betray their vows to their terminally ill spouses, lie about it and pay their whore off to keep quiet. Only an morally depraved liberal would describe such a slime ball as a good boy. This was not a mistake, Edwards knew exactly what he was doing, he just didn't expect to be caught.

And, he shouldn't be doing well. Anyone with a conscience should be agonizing over such actions, but not this crew of craven degenerates. Edwards will continue to lie and obfuscate in order to cover up, excuse and justify his disgusting behavior. After all, that is his skill set. He is an ambulance chaser and nothing more.

Psycho Pakistani Apprehended

As reported in the New York Daily News, law enforcement officials believe they have "the most significant capture" in the fight against terrorism in five years. Aafia Siddiqui, a 36 year old MIT educated Pakistani neuroscientist was arrested in Afghanistan last month for trying to shoot American agents and officers. During her questioning, she grabbed a soldier's M-4 rifle and tried to shoot him while yelling "Allah Akbar!" or "God is great!" She also said that she wanted to kill Americans.

According to the Daily News, Siddiqui carried with her a list of New York landmarks, including the Statue of Liberty and Times Square. ABC said the list also included the subway system and Plum Island, an isolated federal disease research lab.

Why are we allowing these murdering barbarians into our country and educating them at our universities?

What Say You, Barack?

Today's mission, should you choose to accept it, is to read this Newsweek article by George Will. It's called "Questions for Obama" and I don't expect Barack will or even could answer them. If you've heard him try to speak extemporaneously, you know he has trouble putting a simple sentence together. Anyway, the questions are excellent. Enjoy!

The Russians Are Coming

The Russians are back with a vengeance. Prime Minister Vladimir Putin is the perfect throwback to the Stalinist leaders of old. He even has the party line down, parroting that the U.S. has displayed a “Cold War mentality” in its friendship with leaders in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi.

Putin is plotting to revive the old Soviet Union, whose collapse he described as “the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century.”

Unfortunately for us and our allies, there is no Ronald Reagan to lead the free world this time.

However, if you need a reason to pick McCain over Obamassiah, here's a good one.

Deja Vu, It's Waterloo For Alain Bernard

"The Americans? We're going to smash them. That's what we came here for," the big mouthed Frenchie, Alain Bernard, said. But, what is this? Sacre bleu, les Americains have won!

So Alain, what happened. Not giving any interviews on this one? How about this from Claude Fauquet, France's team director, "But I don't think that Alain lost the race. It's Lezak who won it."

What a crock of merde, Claude. Alain LOST and Lezak and team won. This guy probably describes Waterloo not as a defeat for Napoleon, but rather a win for Wellington. No wonder the liberals love the frogs!

As usual, the Yanks win and the French? Well, let's just say another repeat performance.

Test This

Gee, John Edwards is willing to take a paternity test, but Rielle Hunter will have no part of it.

It's an invasion of her daughter's privacy. Oh yes, I'm sure. It couldn't be that she's been paid off.

Of course not, this paragon of integrity and virtue is only out for the best interest of her offspring. That's why she doesn't have a father's name to put on her child's birth certificate.

It sounds like John and Reille were a good match, just waiting to happen.

Edwards Still Doing Whatever He Wants

John Edwards, another lying Democrat, although forced to admit his disgusting behavior, is hardly humbled by it.

Edwards said in his admission, "... being 99 percent honest is no longer enough." What does that mean?

When first confronted about his affair, he called the accusations "false" and "ridiculous."He lied. Later when asked, he said "I have no idea what you're asking about." He lied.

He also said, "I have responded to, consistently, to these tabloid allegations by saying I don't respond to these lies." There is some truth in that, what he was responding to was the truth.

Instead of admitting he deliberately made the choice to cheat on his wife and hurt his family, he uses phrases such as "a serious error in judgment." He excuses himself by saying his rise from "a small town boy in North Carolina" who "came from nothing" to a successful lawyer, U.S. senator and national public figure "fed a self-focus, an egotism, a narcissism that leads you to believe that you can do whatever you want."

Like all liberals, John is the victim, not the family he betrayed and not the public he lied to. It's our fault for expecting the men who lead us to have character and integrity.

It would be nice if Johnny Edwards would just slink back into private life, but this admission will probably catapult him into the liberal limelight as one of their own darling demons.

Working In The Shadows

Illegal aliens working for Mexico's drug cartels are growing hundreds of millions of dollars worth of marijuana in America's Sequoia National Forest. The forest is more than 350 miles from the border so the workers have established residency in the United States. They are in the country illegally for the sole purpose of growing pot, maintaining production and protecting the camp. Armed men keep watch over the gardens day and night during planting season.

Do the illegal lovers plan on amnesty for these hard working industrious people? Do they think citizenship will bring them out of the shadows?

When are we going to take our country back?

I Don't Want Barack's Future For My Children

In Elkhart, Indiana a young girl asked Barack Obama why he is running for the White House.

"America is, is no longer, uh, what it could be, what it, it once was," Obama said haltingly. "And I say to myself, I don't want that future for my children."

For the first time in history a man who is part black is running for and has a chance to win the presidency. Obama thinks that doesn't bode well for our future? When could that have happened in the past? As always, Barack speaks only in vague, meaningless generalities. He gives no specifics.

What is wrong with this man? Why can't he and his wife, realizing the opportunities they have been given, praise the positive attributes of our country?

People who look for flaws will always find them because nothing in this life is perfect. However, there is nothing more depressing than being around people who focus on the negative. How can we possibly live through a presidency filled with the cynicsm, annger and bitterness of the Obamas? We can't!

The Mexican Government Cares

That whine you're hearing is coming from the south. The Mexican government says that the United States violated international law by putting a Mexican national to death in Texas. Maybe he should have stayed in Mexico where he could have died at their hands.

We all know how important these citizens are to the Mexican government. In 2002, the World Bank estimated that half the population in Mexico was living in poverty and one fifth of the citizens lived in extreme poverty. The child poverty rate in 2005 was at about 25 per cent and in Mexico 1/3 of all children (under 14) have no health insurance.

These same Mexican citizens also get to reap the harvest of the culture of corruption that is part of their government's DNA.

And as for physical safety and security, one has only to look at the violence that takes place daily south of the border.

So, they raise a stink about the quick death of a murdering rapist who tortured two young girls, but leave their own innocent in squalor, to die from the elements, hunger, disease or gang violence. I guess as long as it's passive murder by the Mexican government that's OK.

Texas Sticks To Its Guns

UPDATE: Appeal Denied. Mexican Murderer executed in Texas. Jose Ernesto Medellin was put to death for the rape and murder of two teen girls.

For more on the story, go here. See my previous post here.

As usual, it took years to finally achieve justice, but in the end and thanks to Governor Rick Perry the garbage was at long last put out.

Bush Continues Working For Mexico

Proving what I said yesterday, ("Bush, of course, will take any opportunity to kiss Mexico's butt"), the president extended a test program allowing long-haul trucks from Mexico full access to U.S. highways for up to two years, despite pending legislation in Congress to shut it down.

Despite the fact that American unions, highway safety and consumer groups have opposed the initiative, Senor Bush extended it anyway. Even though the House of Representatives Transportation Committee voted to end the pilot as scheduled next month and that the bill requires congressional authority to restart the initiative, el presidente extended it anyway.

Congress needs to do whatever is needed to end this program. What else does Bush plan to give Mexico before he finally says adios?

Don't Mess With Texas

Jose Ernesto Medellin, the Mexican national who participated in the gang-rape of two teenage girls in Texas is due to be executed on Tuesday.

Medellin, absolute piece of trash that he is, has tried to challenge his conviction by arguing that arresting officers violated an international treaty by failing to allow him access to Mexican consular officials.

"Texas . . . has the power to stop the execution," said Medellin's co-counsel, Sandra Babcock of Chicago. "If Texas doesn't stop the execution, Texas is going to be responsible for putting the United States in breach of its international obligations."

But Gov. Rick Perry has thus far shown little inclination to stop the execution, despite written appeals from Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Attorney General Michael Mukasey. Bush, of course, will take any opportunity to kiss Mexico's butt.

"He doesn't feel any pressure on this," said Allison Castle, a spokeswoman for the governor. "This is an individual who along with five others brutally and viciously gang-raped, stomped, kicked, slashed, strangled and murdered two young teenage girls.

"We don't care where you're from. If you commit a despicable crime like this in Texas, you'll face the ultimate penalty under our laws."

Good for Texas. Let's hope they stick to their guns and dispatch this cockroach post haste!

The Obamasssiah Has No Clothes

On Saturday, Obama once again changed his mind and ran away from John McCain’s challenge for a series of joint appearances before the political conventions. Back in May, when a McCain adviser proposed a series of appearances at town hall meetings, Obama said, “I think that’s a great idea.”

It's obvious that Obama falls flat when spontaneity is required so his lackeys want to keep everything where his responses can be as scripted as possible.

The flaws in the Obama facade are beginning to show and the man in the street is not fooled. That is why this race is close...the Obamassiah has no clothes.

Weekend Funny

Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and Al Gore are traveling together in an airplane. The plane crashes and the next thing the three of them know, they are before the throne of God.

God asks Al Gore, "Al, what do you believe in?"

Gore answers, "Well, I believe that the oil companies are evil and that we need to save the world from global warming. If we fail to do this, the whole earth will turn into a greenhouse and the human race will become extinct."

God says, "Okay Al, you were misguided, but at least you tried to do what you thought was right. Come and sit at my left."

Then God says to Clinton: "Bill, what do you believe in?"

Clinton replies, "Well, I believe in power to the people. I think people should be able to make their own choices about things and that no one should ever be able to tell someone else what to do."

God says, "Okay, Bill you too were misguided, but you can come and sit at my feet."

God then speaks to Barack Obama: "Barack Obama, what do you believe in?"

Obama says, "I believe you're in my chair."

Race Within The Race

John McCain has accused Barack Obama of playing politics with race after Obama claimed Republicans will try to scare voters by saying he "doesn't look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills."

This preoccupation with race has been evident from the git go. Barack plays on his blackness by intimating if you don't vote for him, you are a bigot. He and his jackals have not produced one iota of evidence substantiating his charge that Republicans are trying to scare voters by pointing out Barack looks different (read Negro).

All the race nonsense has come from the Obama camp. Jeremiah Wright was Barack's racist pastor. A vast number of blacks readily admit they're voting for Obama, not because he's the best candidate, but because he's black. Barack has learned this race game well and will use it to manipulate issues so they favor him. If he's doing this as a candidate, imagine what we have to look forward to if he's actually elected.

Day Off

I am taking today as a mental health day. That means I am forgetting about the election, and all the assorted silliness associated with it. I suggest you all do the same. However, should you have any pressing comments, feel free to vent here.

Obamassiah's Chosen People

Barack Obama, at a gathering of minority journalists, said this country should acknowledge its history of poor treatment of certain ethnic groups. Of course, this does not include the mistreatment of immigrant Irish, Italians, Jews etc. Obamanos doesn't serve these groups.

"There's no doubt that when it comes to our treatment of Native Americans as well as other persons of color in this country, we've got some very sad and difficult things to account for," Obama told hundreds of attendees of UNITY '08, a convention of four minority journalism associations.

Obama has told local reporters that he supports the federal recognition bill for native Hawaiians drafted by Senator Daniel Akaka. For someone who wants to unify he certainly seems to support divisiveness.

"I personally would want to see our tragic history, or the tragic elements of our history, acknowledged," he said.

"I consistently believe that when it comes to whether it's Native Americans or African-American issues or reparations, the most important thing for the U.S. government to do is not just offer words, but offer deeds." Read this as using the tax money of citizens who had nothing to do with the poor treatment of any group to line the pockets of disgruntled self declared victims.

The Star Bulletin reports that when Obama walked on stage, many journalists in the audience jumped to their feet and applauded wildly after being told not to do so. They wo't even follow instructions from their own messiah's lackeys.

During a two-minute break halfway through the event, which was broadcast live on CNN, journalists ran to the stage to snap photos of Obama. So much for the unbiased journalists of America.

When Obama stood up to say farewell, these so called journalists gave him another standing ovation. What a bad joke.

Madonna Pelosi To Save The Planet

What would we do without the Donks? First they send the Messiah, Obama and now we have an apparition of the Madonna Pelosi. Nancy, has announced that she is "trying to save the planet." With a lifetime score of 92% from the ACLU, she sure isn't trying to save the United States.

Here we have a leader of a Congress that can't secure our borders, that allowed lending institutions to run amok and that has an historically low approval rating. Yet, her goal is saving the planet.

Good luck to us all if these fruitcakes win the White House. There goes America and without America, there goes the planet.

Terrorists Going For The Gold

Islamist psychopaths are sending teams to the Olympics. In a video released by IntelCenter, a terrorism monitoring group, a bearded man identified as “Commander Seyfullah” is seen reading a declaration of jihad against the Olympics and warns athletes and spectators, “especially Muslims”, to stay away.

The people of the world might be enjoying themselves. Allah forbid it! The prophet's psychotics will see to it that there is no laughing, cheering or carrying on of any kind. IntelCenter said that in an earlier five-page communique the group had promised to unleash suicide bombers against the Olympics and told Muslims that the use of biological weapons would be religiously justified.

I think it is fortunate that the Chinese will be dealing with these lunatics. They seem to have few reservations on dealing with terrorism and now ACLU or liberal joke judges.

Obamanos Fails To Deliver To The Troops

What happened to Barack's plan to visit U.S. military hospital in Landstuhl, Germany, housing American troops injured in Iraq? Why it was cancelled because it couldn't be used for political gain. The pentagon wouldn't allow it. But Obama could still have made the visit it just wouldn't have been a photo op.

His "team" is desperately trying to find wriggle room, now that they've been caught, once again, with their patriotism at their knees. They're saying that the last thing Obama wanted "was to have injured soldiers get pulled into the back-and-forth of a political campaign."

Bullcrap! Once again the Obama campaign has shown their true colors and they are not red, white and blue.

Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said later Friday that the Pentagon did not explicitly say Obama should not visit the base but was concerned with whether his capacity there would be one of a presidential candidate, not a senator. "We do have certain policy guidelines for political campaigns and elections. And what is appropriate and what is not appropriate in those situations. But the Pentagon certainly did not tell the senator that he could not visit Landstuhl," Whitman said.

How Morally Responsible Is John Edwards?

The John Edwards' site has this quote.

John Edwards' remarks in New Orleans, 1/30:

"I began my presidential campaign here to remind the country that we, as citizens and as a government, have a moral responsibility to each other, and what we do together matters."

Hmmm. Moral responsibility, what we do together matters? Now, there seems to be some question about how morally responsible John really is.

A Beverly Hills hotel security guard has told FOXNews he intervened this week between a man identified as John Edwards and National Enquirer reporters who chased him down following his rendezvous with his mistress and love child.

I guess this will drop him off Obama's VP list, then again maybe not. He would bring some of the Clinton flair to the ticket.

Caltrans Ordered To Replace Minutemen Sign

In California, Caltrans announced that, as required by a court order late last month, it had replaced the San Diego Minutemen's sign in its previous spot along northbound Interstate 5 near the Border Patrol's San Clemente checkpoint.

The Minutemen had state approval to participate in the highway shoulder cleanup program. They were given a spot on Interstate 5. Then Caltrans reassigned them citing safety reasons for the move, saying the controversial group might become a target or otherwise prompt a disturbance along the freeway. The location of the activists' sign near the checkpoint had drawn complaints from guess who, Hispanic groups and their elected stooges.

The Minutemen sued Caltrans, alleging free-speech discrimination.

While the lawsuit is pending, a federal judge last month ordered Caltrans to reinstate the Minutemen's permit to conduct highway shoulder cleanups at the original site.

Justice triumphs!

Running For The Global Presidency

Not content with being a citizen of America, Obama has now proclaimed himself a citizen of the world and it seems he's running for world office. He's sponsoring a plan that requires the US president to "develop and implement" a policy to "cut extreme global poverty in half by 2015 through aid, trade, debt relief" and other programs.

Of course, no mention is made on what the cost to the American taxpayer will be. Why isn't the press asking questions? For instance, why are our elected representatives wasting time on this, but allow our borders to remain unsecured. Why would we send money to others, but let our banks become broke. Why would we take money from American citizens as their energy costs spiral of control?

When will we get some people in Washington who are concerned about their fellow Americans? If Obama is elected, we can expect much more of our money to be funneled into ill conceived liberal global programs, none of which will benefit this nation.

Prophet's Peace Patrol In The Philippines

The Catholic Explorer reports a bishop in the southern Philippines reported receiving a letter threatening him with harm if he does not convert to Islam or pay "Islamic taxes."

Bishop Martin Jumoad of Isabela also told the Asian church news agency UCA News that he got text messages from Catholics saying they, too, had received threatening letters.

The letter had the names "Puruji Indama" and "Nur Hassan J. Kallitut" printed at the bottom and "mujahedin" under each name. The purported senders introduced themselves as "Muslim warriors" who "don't follow any laws other than the Quran," Islam's holy book.

They said Bishop Jumoad should choose to convert to Islam or give "jizya," Islamic tax, to their group in exchange for protecting him in the "place of Muslims."

If he refuses to convert or pay, the letter threatened "force, weapons or war may be used" against him. It warned him not to feel safe even if he is "surrounded by soldiers" and cited bombings in various cities.

Bishop Jumoad was given 15 days to respond, with two mobile phone numbers to contact.

"If we do not receive response from you, it means you will oppose," the letter added.

I haven't seen a report on this elsewhere in the media, they are probably too worried about the usual Muslim reaction to bad press.

Obama Downplays Troop Efforts

Like every liberal these days, Barack Obama is never one to miss a chance to diminish and denigrate the USA and its armed forces. He continues to downplay the results of the troop surge in Iraq, telling CBS News that even though he credits the surge with helping to reduce violence in Iraq it “doesn’t meet our long-term strategic goal.” Earlier he had said that knowing what he knows now, he still would have opposed the troop surge in Iraq.

With a left handed compliment to our military, Obama said, “There is no doubt that the extraordinary work of our U.S. forces has contributed to a lessening of the violence, just as making sure that the Sadr militia stood down or the fact that the Sunni tribes decided to flip and work with us instead of with Al Qaeda.”

The man is disgusting, a self serving egomaniac who merely wants the notoriety of being the first non-white elected to our highest office. Race, gender or religion is never a reason to vote or not vote for someone. Obama, is just plainly unfit for the job.

He'll Drink To That

Mexico has awarded Ted Kennedy their highest honor for his work defending the rights of illegals during his decades in Congress.

He was presented with the "Aztec Eagle" in Washington on Friday. I'm sure Teddy would have preferred a bottle of mescal. He should feel kinship with the worm. Then again, he must also feel kinship these foreign lawbreakers.

What a career, from drunk driving homicide to subversion of your country's sovereignty.

Will Somebody Please Gong Iran

The meeting in Switzerland regarding the Iranian nuclear program is pretty much what logical people expected, a huge waste of time.

Iran had been expected to respond to a package of incentives offered in exchange for halting the enrichment of uranium. Has that happened? Of course not cousin, don't be ridiculous.

Instead, Iran's chief negotiator Saeed Jalili delivered what has been described as a "meandering" monologue full of irrelevant small talk about culture. This is the kind of stuff liberals love, but produces no positive or constructive results.

On Sunday, Iranian state radio reported that President Mahmoud Ahmadenijad called the talks a "step ahead" and said country's formal assessment would be issued soon. Yes, it was another step in the Iranian stalling process and one step closer to the eventual attack on Israel.

This charade is disgusting!

Talking To Terrorists

Why we are bothering to talk to Iran is puzzling. At Friday's prayer session Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami gave one of his usual lunatic rants while fanatics screamed "Death to America!"

Yet, we're going to send an envoy to talks between international and Iranian negotiators over Iran's nuclear program and rumors continue that the U.S. may be interested in setting up a diplomatic outpost in Iran.

We have never paid these barbarians back for invading our embassy and taking our citizens hostage. Had we dealt with this act of war severely instead of allowing Jimmy Carter to display his cowardice and indecisiveness, things would not be as bad off as they are now. In fact, by this time Iran would probably be habitable again. As always, acting with restraint merely gets us in greater trouble down the road.

Jackson's Slur Gets A Free Pass

If the fact that the self appointed replacement to MLK refers to his own people in the year 2008 as "niggers" isn't enough to evoke massive newsprint than what in the hell have we become?

I think I'm done. What in the world is there to say if this is given a free pass? And, why aren't those who would give it a free pass being held accountable?

Jesse Jackson Uses The Word That Cannot Be Said

After Michael Richards appeared on Jesse Jackson's radio show to apologize for his racial rant, Jackson went on to call for entertainers to stop using the word that dare not be said.

"We will challenge and urge all artists and comics to stop using this word," Jackson said. "What other group is subjected to such a degrading terminology?"

Yet it seems Jackson has excused himself from this challenge and has no problem degrading his own race. It is being reported that Jackson said Obama was "talking down to black people," and referred to blacks with the N-word when he said Obama was telling them "how to behave."

The "reverend" seems to have put his foot in it, once again, and why FOXNews would try to cover for him is curious.

Romney And McCain Still Possible?

Speculation continues about whether Mitt Romney will be John McCain's choice for running mate.

Romney brings economic expertise, a sorely needed asset at this time. Also, he seems unafraid to confront his adversaries head on. Both, these qualities could be a huge help to McCain. In addition, Romney would bring more money into the campaign and could be the deciding factor in swinging some key states.

I know I personally would feel a lot more comfortable supporting a ticket with Romney on it.

Obamamaniacs

It is completely ridiculous that any criticism of Obama even by his own supporters is met with angry outbursts.

The now infamous New Yorker cover is a perfect example. Cartoons of George Bush, Condoleezza Rice and John McCain have been equally if not more offensive, but the left sees no problem there.

Commentator John McLaughlin is taking heat for using the term "oreo" in reference to Obama on his TV show over the weekend.

What is happening to free speech? Are we to become like the crazed rabble we see in other countries who riot over a cartoon? As Patrick Henry might say, "Forbid it, Almighty God!"

Obama's Bad Sentence Structure

You won't hear much about it in the press, but Obama has waffled on another issue.

After telling a Jewish group that Jerusalem must remain the "undivided" capital of Israel, Barack heard the outrage of the Palestinians who want part of the city for their capital. So, Barack changed his tune to, "Obviously it's going to be up to the parties to negotiate a range of these issues. And Jerusalem will be part of those negotiations."

Suddenly, it became obvious that Jerusalem was up for grabs. Now, when questioned about the issue, Barack is blaming everything on poor sentence structure.

Interviewer Fareed Zakaria asked Obama: "One area where you're outside the international consensus -- and certainly, perhaps, some others -- is the statement you made in a recent speech supporting Jerusalem as the undivided capital of Israel. Now, why not support the Clinton plan, which envisions a divided Jerusalem, the Arab half being the capital of a Palestinian state, the Jewish half being the capital of the Jewish state?"

Obama replied: "You know, the truth is that this was an example where we had some poor phrasing in the speech. And we immediately tried to correct the interpretation that was given.

"The point we were simply making was, is that we don't want barbed wire running through Jerusalem, similar to the way it was prior to the '67 war, that it is possible for us to create a Jerusalem that is cohesive and coherent.

"And it is an example of us making sure that we are careful in terms of our syntax. But the intention was never to move away from that basic, core idea that they -- that those parties are going to have to negotiate these issues on their own, with the strong engagement of the United States."

What a load of hooey! And when he promised he would never compromise on Israel's security and do everything in his power to keep Iran from getting nuclear weapons can we be sure the syntax and phrasing was o.k. on that? How many escape clauses does he have built in to those promises.?

Fouls And Fowl Bedevil FOXNews

Fox has done it again. After finding 30 foul dead in front of the capitol yesterday, today they report that a boy fractured his skull after being hit in the head by a ball at a Cub's game.

One would expect that the ball fractured the child's skull, but not according to FOXNews.

Boy Fractures Skull After Hit by Ball at Cubs Game

Doctors and family members say a 7-year-old boy who fractured his skull when he was struck by a foul ball at Wrigley Field was recovering and expected to live.

Green Is Officially The Color Of Madness

Making it official that they are a disgruntled group of dysfunctionals, the left wing environmentalist Green Party nominated former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney as its presidential candidate Saturday.

First elected in 1992, she lost a primary challenge in 2002 after stating members of the Bush administration stood to profit from the war that followed the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

In 2004 she ran again and won. Voters dumped her in 2006 after she was accused of striking a U.S. Capitol Police officer who questioned her at a security checkpoint. She was not wearing the lapel pin that would have identified her as a member of Congress.

Fox Foul Spelling Of Fowl

Front of U.S. Capitol Closed Off After 30 Foul Found Dead

That's a headline on the FOXNews website along with the following story.

U.S. Capitol Police closed off a swath of territory in front of the U.S. Capitol late Friday after some 30 birds and ducks were discovered dead in the reflecting pool in front of the Capitol.

Capitol Police Chief Phil Morse told FOX News it appears the water in the reflecting pool was somehow over-chlorinated.

Tests were being run and police were keeping people and vehicles away from the West front of the Capitol.

D.C. Fire was also assisting with the situation. The dead foul were discovered around 10:30 ET.

Where does the media find these people who don't know the difference between fowl and foul and seem to think ducks are not birds?

UPDATE: Fox, without explanation changes the story to this:

FBI Investigating Dead Fowl in Front of U.S. Capitol

The FBI is investigating what may have caused a dozen ducks to die in a large reflecting pool in front of the U.S. Capitol.

A swath of territory in front of the Capitol was closed late Friday after the findings.

Tests were being run and police were keeping people and vehicles away from the West front of the Capitol.

FOX News has learned there were reports of a strange odor in the air around the same time the dead fowl were discovered around 10:30 ET.

Nearby sidewalks had been undergoing improvements.

John Wiley Priceless

John Wiley Price makes an even bigger idiot of himself every time he opens his mouth. This is the Dallas commissioner who thought the term "black hole" was racist.

When confronted, rather than apologize for his ignorance, he confirmed his stupidity by stating that he believed "black hole" and other terms were racist. "So if it's 'angel food cake,' it's white. If it's 'devil's food cake,' it's black. If you're the 'black sheep of the family,' then you gotta be bad, you know. 'White sheep,' you're okay. You know?" Price said.

No, John, I don't know. But, I do know this, people like you are pathetic obstacles to the advancement of mankind.

The Black Hole Sucks In Two Dopes From Dallas

Here's areal gem that shows what happens when ignorant people are given a voice. Let me preface this by pointing out that a black hole by definition according to Answers.com is:

1. An area of space-time with a gravitational field so intense that its escape velocity is equal to or exceeds the speed of light.
2. A great void; an abyss: The government created a bureaucratic black hole that swallows up individual initiative.

Now, that being stated let's look at this thanks to the Dallas Morning News.

A special meeting about Dallas County traffic tickets allowed some morons to showcase their ignorance and stupidity.

County commissioners were discussing problems with the central collections office that is used to process traffic ticket payments and handle other paperwork normally done by the JP Courts.

Commissioner Kenneth Mayfield, who is white, said it seemed that central collections "has become a black hole" because paperwork reportedly has become lost in the office.

Commissioner John Wiley Price, who is black, interrupted him with a loud "Excuse me!" He then corrected his colleague, saying the office has become a "white hole."

That prompted Judge Thomas Jones, who is black, to demand an apology from Mayfield for his racially insensitive analogy.

Mayfield shot back that it was a figure of speech and a science term. A black hole, according to Webster's, is perhaps "the invisible remains of a collapsed star, with an intense gravitational field from which neither light nor matter can escape."

Let's see, a commissioner and a judge do not know what a black hole is, but think it is some kind of racial put down. For heaven's sake in 1979 Disney made a movie called The Black Hole.

How did these two cretins get their jobs and why are they being allowed to keep them?

Not Good News For The Left

One of my very favorite blogs and I cannot recommend it too highly is Babalu Blog. I mention them today because they have a link to a must read piece on why liberals probably are not happy about the recent Betancourt rescue. The piece is here. Enjoy!

The Real Jesse Jackson Slips Out

Isn't it wonderful when we get to see the true character of those who want to lead us? The "reverend" Jesse Jackson gave us a glimpse of what he is truly like yesterday. While accusing Barack Obama of giving moral lectures to blacks, Jesse said, "See, Barack [has] been talking down to black people . . . I wanna cut his nuts out.

Fine sentiments for a "Christian" pastor rev, but not surprising coming from an anti-Semitic adulterer posing as a man of God.

Does anyone doubt that the good "reverend" has said much worse when he thinks he cannot be heard? That's o.k. Jesse, God is listening or had you forgotten that?

Terrorist Attack In Turkey

There has been a shootout outside the U.S. consulate in Istanbul leaving six people dead. Three are policemen and the others are assailants. No American citizens or employees were hurt. The US ambassador has described it as an "obvious act of terrorism.

More details should be available later today.

You Deserve A Boycott Today

It's not hard to place a clown with the fashion sense of Ronald McDonald in the camp of the radical gays and lesbos, and there he is. I guess we can look to Ronald baring his buns at upcoming gay parades and handing out gay rather than happy meals.

Richard Ellis, vice president of communications for McDonald’s USA, has been appointed to the NGLCC board of directors and McDonald’s contributed $20,000 to the organization. And, on its Web site, the NGLCC identified McDonald’s as a “Corporate Partner and Organization Ally.”

So, there you have it the supposedly family friendly, children loving McDonald's is actively helping to push the gay agenda on us no matter what we think.

I encourage you to visit the AFA website, sign the petition and join the boycott if you are so inclined. Also, read the pompous, we are so wonderfully tolerant letter from one of Ronald's head clowns, Pat Harris. This prancing popinjay has the title, Global Chief Diversity Officer, Vice President, Inclusion and Diversity. Talk about being full of yourself.

No Regrets

Happier than ever that I left these two states, I now find out that California is making it mandatory for cars to be labeled with global warming scores, figures that take into account emissions from vehicle use and fuel production. And, a similar law will take effect in New York for 2010 model year vehicles.

Home to a vast amount of ecotards, liberals and wannabe intellectuals (I know I'm being redundant), these two states leave no boondoggle unspoken for. Taxes therefore are extremely high so those "in the know" can payroll their madcap schemes .

Now, the trick is to keep the liberal madness quarantined until it finally kills itself.

Summon The Fool, John Kerry

John Kerry just can't keep from making an ass of himself. Now, he says that John McCain doesn't have the judgment to be president. Yet, he made overtures to McCain to run as his vice president in 2004. Has anybody told Kerry the vice president is one step away from the presidency, should anything happen to the commander in chief?

Kerry says that McCain has been wrong about every judgment he has made regarding the war in Iraq. But, it was McCain who urged President Bush to send more U.S. troops to Iraq to help control violence. The surge has worked, we're winning the war. It was Kerry and Obama who were against the surge and were flat out wrong.

A ringing endorsement for McCain is criticism by the court fool of the Democrat party, John Kerry. Someone hand him the donkey ears and let him continue braying for our entertainment.

No Thanks To You, America

I'm so confused. Here I thought the American military was in Iraq, fighting and training, but it must not be so. Iraq's Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said the Iraqi government has defeated the terrorists there. "They were intending to besiege Baghdad and control it," al-Maliki said. "But thanks to the will of the tribes, security forces, army and all Iraqis, we defeated them." There you have it, not a mention of or thank you to the American forces that have fought and died liberating this ungrateful bunch.

Now, in their delusional sense of adequacy, they are feeling increasingly confident about the nation's stability. So their new attitude seems to be don't let the door hit you on the way out.

McCain In Mexico

John McCain has been off touring Colombia and Mexico. In Mexico City he called for a "tamper-proof" temporary worker program, "In the short term we need a temporary worker program, but one that is verifiable, with biometric tamper-proof documents,"he said.

What we need, John, is a "tamper-proof" border and "verifiable" proof that our immigration laws are being enforced.

In an editorial, El Universal newspaper said McCain's support for US aid to help Mexico fight its drug cartels, his push for immigration reform, and strong backing of NAFTA showed he has "a better understanding of this country than that shown so far by his opponent."

If only both Obama and McCain would show a better understanding of their own country, America would be far better off.

Celebrate Our Independence

GOD BLESS THE USA

There's A New Waffle King In Town

Every day we hear a different position from the new waffle king, Barack Obama.

Will he sit down the first year of his administration and talk to controversial foreign leaders without preconditions as he said he would, probably not. Will he use the federal public financing system in the general election, as he committed to if his Republican rival did as well, absolutely not. Will he pull out American troops from Iraq within sixteen months as he promised, probably not. And so it goes.

This guy has more flip flops than John Kerry. Just wait if, heaven forbid, he is elected. Then watch how things he said will change based on new revelations. All of which means mainstream America is in for a major screwing by the time the waffle king is done.

Indonesia Arrests Terrorists

Nine terror suspects have been arrested in Indonesia according to this news report.

A Singaporean who met several times with Osama bin Laden was among the suspects arrested and a cache of powerful bombs packed with bullets was also seized in the raid.

Indonesia is the world's most populous Muslim nation and has been hit in recent years by a string of suicide bombings that have killed more than 240 people. The regional terror group Jemaah Islamiyah has been blamed in those attacks.

The Muslim cleric Abu Bakar Bashir is known for inciting violence. He has likened non-Muslims to crawling "worms, snakes, maggots". Yet, he was freed early from his 30 month sentence for conspiracy in the Bali bombings that killed over 200 people.

It will be interesting to see what sentences are handed out to this group. Hopefully the Singaporean will be turned over to his own country where justice most likely will be served swiftly.

City Of Refuse

FOXNews reports that a sanctuary ordinance in San Francisco is protecting young drug dealers from federal deportation in what a U.S. prosecutor is calling a "gaming of the system" for illegal immigrants.

The San Francisco Juvenile Probation Department has been shipping underage crack dealers to group homes in an effort to shield them from the feds under the city's 1989 "City of Refuge" ordinance, which prohibits city employees from informing Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents of illegal immigrants.

How long must we put up with local low level liberal stooges subverting the will of the American people? When the intent is too deliberately shield drug dealers, pedophiles, terrorists and the other human refuse that prey on our population those who collaborate and collude should be clapped in irons and sent to join their criminal brethren in prison.

Here's what William Siffermann, the chief of the Juvenile Probation Department, had to say as he defended the city's policy to shield youthful offenders from deportation. "It might prevent them from obtaining citizenship."

What a moron, but what else do you expect from San Francisco?

Building Blocks Of The ObamaNation

Michelle Obama, the newly proud American, has now let us know for certain where she and her husband stand on gay marriage. No surprise here, Michelle told a crowd of homosexual activists last week that her husband wants to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and reverse the rule on homosexuals in the military. Michelle Obama also drew parallels with homosexual advocacy groups and the civil rights movement.

Barack's web site says that he wants to "fully repeal the Defense of Marriage Act and enact legislation that would ensure 1,100-plus federal legal rights and benefits currently provided on the basis of marital status are extended to same-sex couples in civil unions and other legally recognized unions."

This man who would be president supports same sex marriage, abortion on demand (he thinks babies can be a punishment) and black liberation theology (which he thinks is Christianity). How sad that such a deluded, shallow and superficial individual has risen so far in our nation. It speaks volumes about how degraded and morally deficit we have become.

Seymour Sees Subterfuge

The rumors of war and threats of retaliation continue unabated. Seymour Hersh, the master of anonymous sources and a man not known for his credibility, says the US has launched a "significant escalation" of covert operations in Iran, sending U.S. commandos to spy on the country's nuclear facilities and undermine the Islamic republic's government. This is not the first time Seymour has spread such rumors.

Meanwhile, Iran's parliament speaker, Ali Larijani, warned other countries against moves that would "cost them heavily." In comments that appeared in the semi-official Mehr news agency Sunday, an Iranian general said his troops were digging more than 320,000 graves to bury troops from any invading force with "the respect they deserve."

Also, Iran has moved ballistic missiles into launch positions, with Israel’s Dimona nuclear plant among the possible targets, defence sources said last week.

Is something really afoot?

McCain's Grasp Of The Obvious

CNN reports that John McCain called Jimmy Carter a "lousy" commander in chief.

In an interview with the Las Vegas Sun published Friday, McCain, who is a proponent of nuclear reprocessing, was asked why he thought Carter was against the process when he was president.

"Yes, because Carter was a lousy president," McCain quipped. "This is the same guy who kissed Brezhnev."

McCain's comments are in reference to the now famous moment when Carter and then Soviet Union leader Leonid Brezhnev kissed after signing the SALT II treaty in 1979.

The evidence of how bad Carter was as president is voluminous...still I'm thankful that McCain is willing to state the obvious.

Another Reason For Nobama

If there was ever a reason to elect McCain over Obama the Supreme Court has just given it. If the court as it presently stands can hand down decisions defending foreign enemies of the United States and protecting child rapists, then there is no telling what evil will flourish if Barack gets to nominate new judges.

When the innocent can no longer find protection from the law it becomes time for the righteous to mete out justice themselves.

Opening The Book Of Barack

Barack Obama is now accusing James Dobson of making stuff up. This from a man who has made up stories about his parents, his ancestors and fabricated seven extra states.

The problem Barack has is he thinks the theology of Jeremiah Wright has validity. Like any other false version of Christianity it has truth mixed with heresy. I sincerely doubt that Obama has ever even read a book by a true theologian, preferring instead to immerse himself and his children in the pernicious black liberation theology.

Stand by, Barack is going to give more glimpses into the real Obamadrama.

From The Curb To The Gutter

Antonio Villaraigosa, the disgusting mayor of Los Angeles, had already shown his contempt for the institution of marriage by his affair with television newswoman Mirthala Salinas and numerous other romances while married. Not satisfied with that, he is now going to officiate a gay marriage ceremony at Los Angeles City Hall,.

Another perfect example of the corrupted deviants leading the left, Villaraigosa at one time called himself a Roman Catholic. These liberal sewer dwellers show no remorse for their sins and so they slowly sink further into depravity by rationalizing their behavior as tolerance and broadmindedness.

Marriage for them is simply a convenience to be jettisoned when no longer useful or more trouble than it's worth. So what difference is it to them who gets married?

Hope You Had A Good Weekend

I hope you all had a good weekend. I'm afraid I have too many errands to run today so life has gotten in the way of my blogging.

I did watch a discontinued tv show The Black Donnellys. I saw four episodes and thought it was quite good. No wonder it was discontinued. If you have the opportunity pick it up on dvd.

Ban The Buzzwords

All the years I spent in business, I knew I was in for BS when I heard people using buzz words. Synergy was one of my favorites, followed by interface, empowerment, proactive, paradigm and the ever popular webinar. It wasn't just words, but also phrases like thinking outside the box, just in time, who moved my cheese, where's the pony, team player, win-win and far too many others.

People who communicate this kind of crap are seen by some to have accumulated the answers to the mysteries of business, which is partially why we are in such economic trouble today. These business gnostics tend, more often than not, to be little more than charlatans whose business acumen is vague, yet in reality meaningless. These are the same idiots who renamed workers, associates and replaced supervisors and managers with team leaders. Like the fanatics with Mao's little red book, they cajoled and threatened in order to change a successful culture into the substandard piece of garbage it is now. It will continue to decline even more with the advent of green buzzwords, like carbon footprint.

Well, CNN reports that at least one candle in England struggles against the darkness. British bureaucrats have been warned, no more synergies, stakeholders or sustainable communities.

The body that represents the country's local authorities has told its members to stop using management buzzwords, saying they confuse people and prevent residents from understanding what local governments do.

The Local Government Association, whose members include hundreds of district, town and county councils in England and Wales, on Friday sent out a list of 100 "non-words" that it said officials should avoid if they want to be understood.

The list includes the popular but vague term "empowerment;" "coterminosity," a situation in which two organizations oversee the same geographical area; and "synergies," combinations in which the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Officials were told to ditch the term "revenue stream" for income, as well as the imprecise "sustainable communities." The association also said councils should stop referring to local residents as "customers" or "stakeholders."

The association's chairman, Simon Milton, said officials should not "hide behind impenetrable jargon and phrases."

"Why do we have to have 'coterminous, stakeholder engagement' when we could just 'talk to people' instead?" he said.

The association sent its letter after reports that one town council had told staff to use the term "thought showers" instead of "brainstorming."

Officials at Tunbridge Wells council in southern England felt brainstorming might offend people with epilepsy, a condition that involves periodic electrical storms inside the brain.

However, the National Society for Epilepsy said it had surveyed its members and they did not find the term offensive.

Obama Shows His True Colors

That's it. Obama is now smearing Republicans as racists and bigots in order to win. The guy who said he was going to unite us, the guy who said he would not stoop to using race, has shown what he learned at the feet of Jermiah Wright.

He says, he expects Republicans to highlight the fact that he is black as part of an effort to make voters afraid of him. Who is hightlighting his blackness except Obama himself. He could be portraying himself as a man of two races, but no that would cost him too many militant black votes. So, instead he is going to try and drive a wedge between whites, hoping to garner enough guilt laden individuals to put himself over the top.

Well based on this latest statement by Barack, infused with anti white racism, every Republican, every person who has a Republican family member or friend, if you like McCain or not, should rally to reject this candidacy of embitterment and hatred.

Obama's Word Worth Zero

There really isn't a lot to say. Barack said Thursday he will bypass the federal public financing system in the general election, breaking his commitment to take the money if his Republican rival did as well.

Once it appeared that he could amass more funds by not keeping his word, he chose raising unlimited amounts of money and spending as much as he can.

"It's not an easy decision, and especially because I support a robust system of public financing of elections," Obama said. It was not an easy decision because people with discernment are going to see right through his bs and recognize Obama's total lack of integrity. He is a manipulator and a prevaricator and not very good at either one, fooling only the mental midgets and emotionally handicapped who worship him.

We Can't Get Out Of This With Democrats

If you want to see why America in danger, why America is in trouble, all you have to do is listen to the Democrat response to President's Bush's call for Congress to lift the moratorium on offshore drilling.

This confederacy of communists, cretins and crazies, known as the Democrat Party would turn us into another Venezuela or Mexico. Both of these countries have nationalized their oil industries.

Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) advocates our following the lead of Hugo Chavez. “Should the people of the United States own refineries? Maybe so. Frankly, I think that’s a good idea."

Of course, it wouldn't be the people of the US making the decisions, it would be some overpaid bureaucrats like the ones who have made border security such a success.

Ever since birdbrain Pelosi mouthed the phrase, we can't get out of this by drilling the rest of the party has begun to parrot that mantra. "Awk, we can't get out of this by drilling, awk. Nancy boy want a cracker, awk."

If this is not enough to motivate all good Americans to drive these scoundrels from Washington then all hope is lost.

Al Gorges Himself On Energy

The liberal hypocrisy knows no bounds. The climate charlatan, Al Gore, gets caught in his own carbon trap.

In the year since he took steps to make his home more energy-efficient, Gore’s home energy use surged more than 10%, according to the Tennessee Center for Policy Research.

“A man’s commitment to his beliefs is best measured by what he does behind the closed doors of his own home,” said Drew Johnson, President of the Tennessee Center for Policy Research. “Al Gore is a hypocrite and a fraud when it comes to his commitment to the environment, judging by his home energy consumption.”

In the past year, Gore’s home burned through 213,210 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity, enough to power 232 average American households for a month.

I wonder how much of it was used to cook up that almost extinct Chilean sea bass Al and his family enjoy so much.

It's Just Another Snippet

Let's see, if McCain had confused the prime minister of Iraq with the president of Iraq we'd be getting the snide remarks about his age. Obama does it and what is it? Ignorance, stupidity or it's just not important to him. The press doesn't seem to want to venture an opinion.

Well, at least he's talking about going to Iraq and admits that progress has been made. “I gave [Zebari] an assurance that should we be elected, an Obama administration will make sure that we continue with the progress that's been made in Iraq, that we won't act precipitously,” said Obama.

However in November of 2006 Barack was singing a different song. "While some have proposed escalating this war by adding thousands of more troops, there is little reason to believe that this will achieve [victory]," Obama said. Then, in September of 2007 he proclaimed defeat. "Let me be clear: There is no military solution in Iraq and there never was," Obama said in excerpts of the speech provided to The Associated Press."The best way to protect our security and to pressure Iraq's leaders to resolve their civil war is to immediately begin to remove our combat troops. Not in six months or one year — now," he said.

So much for putting this idiot in charge.

He and his fellow donks have been longing to run up the white flag of surrender so they can give their full attention to making this country the kind of third world hell hole they love to visit.

Now, he admits progress in Iraq has been made, but fails to mention it is nothing this snake oil salesman can take credit for. His visit is as meaningless as the tripe that drips from his lying lips.

Which Is It?

Here's a little gem from the Jerusalem Post. "Barack Obama's half brother Malik said Thursday that if elected his brother will be a good president for the Jewish people, despite his Muslim background."

Yet, the Obama '08 website says, "Barack Is Not and Has Never Been Muslim."

Which is it? There's more info at the Israelinsider, give it a perusal.

Sacre Bleu

Who'd have thought we would see this, the heads of state of the US and France standing side by side in agreement on Iran? There they were, on Saturday, warning Iran to stop enriching uranium and berating Syria for supporting terrorism.

Bush said Iran with a nuclear weapon would threaten world peace and Sarkozy said Iran with a nuclear weapon would be "totally unacceptable." Sarkozy warned Syria against standing with Iran on the nuclear standoff.

Amazing, n'est-ce pas?

Mystery In Mexico

Here's an interesting piece for a couple of reasons. First, Mexico is deporting illegal aliens and second, Mexico's problem with armed criminals is not limited to our border with them.

A group of 34 Cubans held on immigration charges in Mexico vanished after a bus taking them to a detention center was hijacked by heavily armed assailants, officials said Thursday.

Police found the empty bus, and no sign of the Cubans or the assailants, Thursday morning in the small town of Ocosingo, police in the state of Chiapas said.

The seven immigration guards and two bus drivers were left on the highway,.

The Cubans were arrested on Saturday in the resort town of Cancun on charges they entered the country illegally.

The bus was taking them to a detention center on the border with Guatemala to begin deportation procedures.

An immigration official in the state capital Tuxtla Gutierrez told AFP that a group of gunmen carrying automatic rifles stopped the bus late Wednesday.

"Several armed men wearing ski masks stopped the bus on the highway and threatened the immigration guards with automatic rifles," said one source. "They took the bus along with the Cubans."

Importing Poison?

Mexican growers have called a U.S. warning against certain types of their tomatoes unjust, saying it has brought exports to a halt and could cripple Mexico's $900 million industry.

Growers said their produce is subject to double the scrutiny that U.S. tomatoes face: inspected first by Mexican officials and then again at the border when crossing into the U.S.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is still hunting for the source of a salmonella outbreak linked to three types of raw tomatoes that has sickened 167 people in 17 U.S. states since mid-April. It has cleared imports from at least six countries, but not Mexico, which sends 80 percent of its tomato exports to the United States.

Mexican produce has been a problem before, so it is totally reasonable to scrutinize it again.

This FDA Import Alert is a perfect example. It reads in part "During 2000, 2001, and 2002, there were four multi-state Salmonellosis outbreaks traced back to Mexican cantaloupes." It also mentions, "Inspectional findings (conducted in response to the outbreaks) at a number of cantaloupe growing areas and packing sheds in Mexico reveal that Mexican cantaloupe are indeed manufactured, processed, or packed under gross insanitary conditions. Further, these inspections underscore the lack of an overall environmental sanitation program, as well as apparent lack of regulatory authority in Mexican law to address the insanitary conditions that FDA believes lead to Salmonella contamination."

Here's another example of what has previously been sent from Mexico. "This report describes a large hepatitis A outbreak associated with eating a food item containing green onions at a single restaurant. The majority of ill patrons interviewed as of November 21 were exposed during a 3-day period in early October. No ill food service worker identified could have been the source of the outbreak. The green onions likely were contaminated with HAV in the distribution system or during growing, harvest, packing, or cooling. Traceback investigations completed to date have determined that the green onion source is one or more farms in Mexico."

Another article says, "Salmonella was found in lobster tails, shrimp, fresh cooked crabmeat, chocolate candies, cantaloupes, pumpkin seeds, cilantro cooking sauce, instant tea, rice flour, ground guajillo pepper, oregano, fresh basil, and several types of tea from Mexico."

Just read between the lines folks, it's enough to gag a maggot.
