The prosecutors on this case should heed this warning and take action to dismiss their star witness as unreliable....me I tend to lean toward calling him not unreliable but a liar and a disgrace to his uniform.

Drop murder charges, Pantano prober urges :

'The government was not able to produce credible evidence or testimony that the killings were premeditated,' Col. Winn wrote in his May 12 report, a copy of which was obtained today by The Washington Times.

Well, who is surprised with this revealation:

Authorities said last month that they believed the story was a hoax, and they arrested the 39-year-old Ayala at her home in Las Vegas and charged her with attempted grand larceny for allegedly trying to shake down Wendy's. But whose finger was in the chili remained a mystery.

The owner was traced through a tip made to a Wendy's hot line, Davis said. He said the man lost the finger in December, and authorities "positively confirmed that this subject was in fact the source of the fingertip." The nature of the industrial accident was not disclosed.

Good on them, I think closing of bases proposal is stupidity personified

"The ones they did were truly ones on their last legs," he said. The Pentagon estimates the closures will save $48 billion over 20 years.

An easier solution is stop all free healthcare to illegal immigrants, hell, they will have an excess in budget that way.

How typical of Liberals

Sen. Barbara Boxer (news, bio, voting record) of California said she would delay a Senate vote on Bolton, currently the top U.S. diplomat for arms control, until the administration turns over classified documents that Democrats on the Foreign Relations Committee had sought before the committee's vote on Thursday.

How to raise a child who is shrewd enough to swindle money from an organisation of supposed peace, truth, honesty, justice and humanity, we need only turn and ask our favourite, chief UN liar:

U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan did not initially tell investigators in the oil-for-food probe that he met twice with representatives of his son's employer as the Swiss company began soliciting United Nations business.

The final report also didn't mention that Annan had originally denied knowing one of his son's business associates with whom he had had lunch. Nor did it mention that the business associate testified that he specifically discussed Kojo Annan's interest in doing business in Iraq with the U.N. chief.

Yeah right, one liar to another in this case, both lost causes along with the UN's double standards...wait, do they really practice the notion of having standards?

This story makes me glad I don't dream, or if I do I hope they are nightmares.

Like Richard Gere's character from "An Officer and a Gentleman," Eric Cooper seemed like every woman's dream

Awwww my heart bleeds...more Liberal Woes

"The infighting couldn't come at a worse time for them, or for Democrats," said Steve Elmendorf, a Democratic consultant with deep ties to labor. "It's bad for the Democrat Party to have labor leaders fighting each other instead of helping us win.

City of Beverley Hills has got to wonder why they had ever elected this fool as Mayor in 1986

Spadaro said she runs a legitimate kennel for rescued dogs and cats and the city's action Thursday was illegal.

"I think Rialto has been persecuting me, frankly," Spadaro said.

Lastly, I do like the way Gov. Schwarzenegger is speaking to the press. Let us, remember that although the statistics show that per student CA is below state averages, this is occuring due to the high numbers of illegals draining the education system in CA. Arnie needs to keep to his position on the Minute Man Project and keep voicing, pushing for greater border security from the Dept. of Homeland Security.

Governor Arnie:

"'We would love to spend much more money,' Schwarzenegger said. 'But as governor you have to be kind of like a parent who sits there and says 'no, no, no, you can't do this, you can't do that.' … You have to look at the total picture.

'It's a responsible budget that pays down our debt and contains no new borrowing,' he said. 'It doesn't make long-term commitments the state can't keep.'"

Today's Feature Car

Ferarri "Daytona" 365 GTB/4 Coupe

The Ferarri 365 GTB/4 Daytona Coupe, produced from 1969 and into the early 1970's, was the world's fastest production road car at the time, officially clocking a top speed of 174 MPH.

The coupe version (GTB) was fairly successful in racing, with engine and chassis modifications, but was too heavy for anything but long-distance events such as the LeMans 24-hour race. In late 1974, a competition Daytona coupe was taken to Bonneville, where, driven by Luigi Chinetti Jr., Graham Hill, and Milt Minter, it set International Class C records at 10 miles (174.763 mph), 500 kilometers (171.255 mph), 500 miles (166.173 mph), and 1000 kilometers (166.445 mph). I participated in a magazine road test of Bill Harrah’s Daytona in 1979 and came home with a photo of the instrument panel with the speedometer reading 180 mph and the tachometer reading 7000 in fifth gear -- this from a box-stock Daytona running on Interstate 80 at 4500-foot elevation. The shift from fourth to fifth was made at 140 mph and gave a noticeable nudge to the backside.

The 4.4 liter, 6 Weber twin-choke carburetted V-12 engine with 24 valve DOHC heads made approximately 400 HP and revved to 8200 RPM. If you have never heard one of these Italian works of engineering art at full song, you don't know what you're missing. The car is just flat out sexy. So it's our Feature Car of the Day.



The timeless, venerable Shelby AC Cobra. Back in the early to mid 1960's, Carroll Shelby took the Brtish AC body and heavily beefed up the chassis, breaks, and suspension to handle the Ford 260, followed by the 289, and ultimately the mighty big-block 427 "Side Oiler" that made around 500 horsepower and developed about 500 lb./ft. of torque. With that much power and weighing just over 2,000 lbs, the big block cars had absolutely brutal acceleration, able to run the quarter mile well into the 10 second bracket and capable of top speeds well in excess of 160 MPH. The 289 small-block powered cars were not that much slower than their big block brothers and were actually more successful in road racing due to less weight over the front end. These cars were beasts to drive with no power steering or power brakes, but they handled and stopped fairly well even by today's standards, especially taking into account the primitive tire technology of the day.



The 2005 limited production Ford GT. Inspired by and almost identical to the GT-40 prototypes that won the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1966, -67, -68, and -69. Carroll Shelby was the one responsible for basically turning a floundering program into a winner, and this modern incarnation is a spectacular tribute to his genius.



This is a Holden Commodore R built by the Holden Racing Team for competition against the Ford Falcon in the Australian V8 SuperCar Championship, where it's Ford vs. Holden, a GM affiliate of sorts. They are purpose built replicas of their street counterparts; roughly the eqivalent of a Trans-Am Series road racer in the US. The engines are old style, electronically managed, fuel injected small blocks limited to 5.0 liters and 7500 RPM, making in the 600-650 HP range, running through a spec 6-speed gearbox to a watts link-type independent rear suspension. They hit 0-60 in just under 4 seconds and can hit 180 MPH on the top end (depending on the rear gear). They usually run 2 or 3 races per round at each track. It's fast and exciting and very popular with the Aussies and the Kiwis. I can't wait to go to my first race!

France Problems..haaa..Just No Balls

The French will soon be neck deep in the hole they have dug, with no sight of help. Who have they to blame but themselves. The upside: All those pencil thin models that are attracted to Paris like bees to nectar will finally start eating a healthy diet; the illusional will become delusional trying to adjust their berkahs while at the same time seeming sophisticated and chic'.

On March 8

10s of thousands of high school students marched through central Paris to protest education reforms announced by the government. Repeatedly, peaceful demonstrators were attacked by bands of black and Arab youths--about 1,000 in all, according to police estimates. The eyewitness accounts of victims, teachers, and most interestingly the attackers themselves gathered by the left-wing daily Le Monde confirm the motivation: racism.

French Schools Lurch Toward Islamization:

France's educational system appears headed towards meltdown. An article by Olivier Guitta in the May 9th Weekly Standard reports that a leaked study conducted between October 2003 and May 2004 under the auspices of France's inspector-general of education, Jean Pierre Obin, describes an educational system that is cracking under the strain of a growing, non-assimilating Muslim population.

Jewish students and those students thought to be Jews are increasingly being assaulted by Muslim students. Because of this, many Jewish students are forced into switching schools or hiding their identities.

Navy Deserter Gets Hard Labor

Every now and then something like this comes around and I feel all giddy. Everything came together the way it should. The rules are clearly defined, shown to have been blatantly violated, and punishment handed out accordingly. Nice, neat and tidy.

Such is the case with Pablo "The Punk" Paredes:

SAN DIEGO – A military judge ordered a Navy sailor on Thursday to complete three months of hard labor for refusing to deploy with his ship in protest of the war in Iraq, but he declined prosecutors' requests for time in custody.

Lt. Cmdr. Bob Klant also reduced Pablo Paredes' rank from petty officer third class to seaman recruit, the lowest in the Navy.

I still lived in the San Diego area at the time and was listening to Rick Roberts the morning Pablo's ship sailed as he stood on the dock and this whole thing took off.

What little fucktards like Pablo don't understand (or think they can somehow get around) is that they gave up their right to protest when they signed the contract. Resignation is not an option.

Obviously, this kid had some help planning his treasonous actions. What's even more disturbing is how this Far Left military obstructionist San Diego organization passes itself off:

The SDMCP is an organization of vets and other people; we work with active duty folks and their families who are having problems within the Military. We can provide you with information, experience, and support that will enable you to know what civil rights you still have, even while in the Military. We can also help people apply for discharges based on Conscientious Objection, Hardship and Dependency or others. If you need an Attorney, Doctor or Clergy not affiliated with the Military we can refer you to one. We are not, in any way, connected with the Military.

Take a look at who else supports him. Any wonder why?

Even the Supreme Illuminati of the Moonbat Left, Noam Chomsky, weighed in on Pablo the Punk:

NOAM CHOMSKY:
"The actions that Pablo Paredes is taking are honorable and impressive, and merit the support of people who are committed to peace, justice, and the rule of law -- not force -- in world affairs. It is no exaggeration to say that the possibilities for decent human survival depend on that commitment. I hope that others will be inspired by Pablo's courageous actions, and will not only lend him their support, but will find their own ways to work for the same ends."

Citizen SMASH, head of the local San Diego chapter of Protest Warrior sums it all up very nicely.

Good order and discipline are essential to the function of the military. To have let this little turd get away with this would have sent a message to any other miscreant who would like a way out that this is OK. Oops...think again, dipshit.

Connecticut Executes Serial Killer

SOMERS, Conn. - A serial killer who fought to hasten his own execution and was forced to prove he wasn't out of his mind was put to death early Friday in New England's first execution in 45 years. Michael Ross, 45, died by injection at 2:25 a.m. after fighting off attempts by public defenders, death penalty foes and his own family to spare his life.

What the hell is wrong here? It's like Alice in fucking Wonderland. I'll never understand these lunatics who have more sympathy for a murderous scum bag than for his victims or their families. This animal wanted to die and pay for his crimes, and his lawyers and father tried to stop the execution, citing some other half-assed, concocted, victimologist bullshit mental condition:

Desperate to save his life, public defenders and Ross' family had argued that Ross suffered from "death row syndrome" — that is, he had become deranged from living most of the past 18 years under a death sentence.

Excuse me, but some moonbat shrinks and lawyers came up with "death row syndrome?" WTF???!!! Read the rest of the story. All I can say is that this low-life got off a lot easier with an injection than his victims did. Good riddance...next...

Quandary???

I have sat back and wondered why there seemed to be no real support or follow up articles on British PM Tony Blair's then pending re-election, and the subsequent loss of so many seats - roughly two-thirds of the majority of seats Labour enjoyed prior to the election. Too many blame the Iraq War, but that only had a partial impact. The War in Iraq no doubt is being credited as the main factor for the loss of seats, however, if this were truely the case, Blair would not still be the PM of Britain. This explanation is too convenient.

Joe posted an article in relationship to the Muslim networking and propaganda machine which totally stunned us both with its organisation and detail (the very same strategies and tactics are certainly being used by groups like La Raza - "The Race" - to flood the US with illegal Mexican immigrants and ultimately impact US elections.) The research involved in the breaking down of polling areas and the likely impact that Muslim votes would have upon those districts was in itself astounding. I personally was totally bewildered by the lack of response to his posting which started my rusting mind to kick into one of thought process. I asked myself lots of whys????, and still did not come up with a reasonable explanation as to the seemingly blase' attitude many have shown toward Blair's plight.

You may ask yourselves why I am rambling like this, to what purpose? I will outline a scenario, hopefully in a way that maybe you, the readers, will be able to fill in the gaps:

If Blair is voted through no confidence to step down from the office of Prime Minister

LONDON – No sooner had Tony Blair secured a historic third term for his Labour Party than the focus abruptly switched to who comes next. And when.

Where will this leave the current Iraq alliance with the US? To be realistic, the ousting of Blair to a menial role within the party will cause the opposition to exploit the removal and encourage them to follow the path of forcing the new PM to remove troops from Iraq. And believe me, there are more moonbats per square mile in the Commonwealth than the US.

Brits give Blair a bloody nose :

"'We've got to listen soberly and seriously to what the public are saying to us,' said Labor's Robin Cook, who resigned from his post as foreign secretary over the war."

Who can guarantee the new PM will support the war in Iraq? What would the impact be on the remaining allies in the War on Terror?

And, not that we really care one bit what the UN thinks, but how would they respond? However, imagine all of those weasels just waiting in the wings, ready to pounce in their cowardly fashion on any sign of a chink in the armour of the US.

Who else currently within Britain's Labour Party has the balls to stand up to not only the anti-war movement within his own country, but also the other European Countries and the terrorists themselves?

Speaking of the EU, ask yourself this: What impact could this have on the US dollar if Britain's new PM decides to toss the English pound for EU$'s? Remember, they are the only ones who although use EU$s, have not yet converted to the EU$.

This is only a very brief outline of a possible scenario that is not out the realm of possibility. I am sure you, the readers, will come up with further possibilities and the reaction to each action or non action. I get back to my point: Why is it that no one seems to be showing concern about Blair and his current position?

Read these articles and tell me if I am worrying unnecessarily:

Union urges Blair not to cling on:

"The leader of Britain's biggest private sector union has urged Prime Minister Tony Blair not to cling to power too long because it would be damaging."

Blair Faces Possible Leadership Challenge:

"Labour lawmakers, conscious that opinion polls have shown Brown to be a far more popular figure with the public than Blair, have demanded that this process happen sooner.

Austin said Blair should consider standing down after the Group of Eight (G8) summit in Gleneagles, Scotland, in July."

Labour MPs: Blair must go soon:

"LONDON, England -- Labour MPs have begun to call on Tony Blair to quit Downing Street long before he completes a full third term at Number 10."

A Frenchman Who Understands ...No Joke

Dynamic of war :

The chief of the Defense Intelligence Agency tells the Senate Armed Services Committee North Korea has the wherewithal to stick a nuclear device in the nose cone of a three-stage, long-range missile that can reach Hawaii and Alaska.

In my opinion this guy really needs to be taken seriously

European intelligence services with agents in Iraq report one of the easiest ways for anti-U.S. elements to scam funds is through nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) involved in reconstruction and humanitarian projects. These European agents also say Saddam loyalists and pro-al Qaeda insurgents have infiltrated almost every level of government.

There are some 3,000 NGOs in Iraq, most above reproach. But off the record, many concede little can be accomplished without kickbacks to local officials, police and even terrorists.

The average is about 30 percent per layer of bribes to get anything done. In some cases, that left 25 percent of the original budget for ordinary Iraqis.

Arnaud de Borchgrave's article is quite eye opening; please disregard his references to Ritter.

What Can I say

This prick needs to die - many times over and very slowly each time

Ask Yourselves

Whose Rights Are More Important:

"LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) --A federal judge Thursday struck down Nebraska's ban on gay marriage, saying the measure interferes not only with the rights of gay couples but also with those of foster parents, adopted children and people in a host of other living arrangements."

The States try in vain it seems to have their people's voices heard, and made law, only to have federal judges over rule their wishes. Why do referendums exist at all?

The basic question one must ask is, who has more rights, seventy percent of the population or the small percent of gays affected by the banning of same sex marriage? Marriage is between a man and woman, fullstop, in my opinion. Why can't gays accept civil unions as the product of their lifestyle choices? Why do they feel the need to ape the institution of marriage? Why don't they simply write wills, leaving their properties to one another? And come on, health plans that included children and partners came about due to the fact women get pregnant and can't work and give birth at the same time, or nurse and work.....sheesh.

"Seventy percent of Nebraskans voted for the amendment to define marriage as a union between one man and one woman, and I believe that the citizens of this state have a right to structure their constitution as they see fit," Bruning said.

Hell if they don't like it they need not live in Nebraska; they can always go here:

Massachusetts has allowed gay marriage since last May. Vermont has offered civil unions to gays since 2000; Connecticut will begin offering civil unions in October.

Eye Candy

I'm tired of ranting about the Mexican invasion, Muslim goat sodomizers, Leftist moonbats, and other assorted pariahs of the planet, so I'm taking a break. 10-time felony losers from Mexico killing our cops...11th century minded, desert-dwelling maniacal camel jockeys who decapitate hostages with dull butter knives in the name of Allah...and the naive, ignorant and insane Leftists who have more sympathy for them than our own men and women in uniform...frankly, just drains me to the point where I don't know what to say sometimes. So I'll recharge my batteries and share some pictures of my favorite race cars with those of you who are interested. Enjoy!


New for the 2005 racing season, the Pontiac GTO-R, prepared by The Racers' Group and GM for competition road racing in the Rolex Grand Am Cup

**UPDATE/NOTE: Pontiac had nothing to do with the design of the new GTO. It is actually a Holden Monaro. Holden is GM's Aussie subsidiary, and they simply had the original 18,000 GTO/Monaros built for left hand drive and shipped to the US where Pontiac just put badges on them and a few minor tweaks here and there. It saved GM tons of money not having to retool to make a whole new car they were already building somewhere else.



The new 2005 Corvette C6-R prepared by Pratt-Miller and GM for road race competition in the American Le Mans Series GTS class



The Dyson Racing Riley & Scott MkIII competing in the Grand American Road Racing Series Daytona Prototype class at Sebring Int'l Raceway circa 2003



Mayhem developing in Turn 2 at the beginning of the 2003 ALMS race at Laguna Seca



The Ferarri 550 Marinello prepared by Prodrive for road racing competition directly against the Corvette C5-R in the American Le Mans Series GTS class in 2003



Not your father's Cadillac, indeed! The CTS-VR has over 500 horsepower in competition form and runs in the SpeedTV GT Challenge



These are but a few of my favorite race cars. Over the next few days I'll share more pictures with you, including some fabulous Fords, pernicious Porsches, mesmerizing Mercedes, hard-charging Holdens, and many others. And I'll put in some bikes, too, along with some more stories...when I feel up to it.

Catch 22

Although the following is a sad incident that can't be condoned, we have to look at it from a positive view point. By the reactions and statements made by the students, it points to the new enlightenment the younger generations of Iraq are heading toward. Baathist's and others of the former Saddam regime, will not be tolerated if they continue with this growth toward democracy.
Student's Slaying Fills University With Rage:

"Grief over Sarhan's death turned to anger against Hiti, fueled by rumors of a threat against Sarhan by the bodyguard and by the fact that the dean hails from a town in western Iraq that has been a noted center of Baathist power.

'Anyone who benefited from the Saddam regime is a criminal and deserves what they get,' said Haidar Mahdi, a 21-year-old pharmacy student who described the unrest as a 'student revolution against the Baath.'

'The college was like a room full of gas, and Masar's death was the spark that ignited it,' he said."

Let There Be Hope

Before heading out this cold Thursday morning, I came across this and thought it was worthy to be posted.

AL-ZARQAWI:

"Baghdad, 11 May (AKI) - The Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is 'serious injured, possibly dead' according to Colonel Fouad Hani Hassan, commander of the fifth division of the Iraqi armed forces, cited by 'Elaph', a popular website in the Arab world. Al-Zarqawi, considered al-Qaeda's leader in Iraq, is believed to have been injured in the major offensive US-led forces have been carrying out in the western Anbar province over the last few days"

"While Operation Matador is not specifically aimed at catching al-Zarqawi, Brig. Gen. James Conway told a Pentagon news briefing on Tuesday that "it would be a welcome event to come across him or his body."

AND this excellent piece from a strategic point of view at the Belmont Club:

"Nowadays, Zarqawi's 'martyrdom' volunteers aggressively prowl the streets of Iraq in dump trucks, fire engines, and even police cars laden with tons (literally) of makeshift explosives. Rather than striking at targets of opportunity, the suicide bombers are often used to kickoff coordinated attacks on major targets, as seen in recent Al-Qaida operations on the Al-Sadeer Hotel in Baghdad, Abu Ghraib prison west of Baghdad, Camp Gannon in far western Iraq, a U.S. intelligence base in Tikrit, and (most recently) the 'Battles of Omar Hadeed and Mohammed Jassem al-Issawi'"

Another report: War in Iraq looks like last stand for al Qaeda :

"The war in Iraq is increasingly looking more like a showdown with Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda followers than a battle primarily against Saddam Hussein loyalists"

Sorry don't have time to comment further, however, let us pray one less scum has indeed joined the bones of his ancestors.

What is Illegal Immigration Costing You?

I thought I would snoop around the net tonight to see what I could find in regard to illegal immigrants, in particular, the dollar costs to you, the American taxpayer.

Frosty Wooldridge: Chilling Costs of Illegal Migration:

"The chilling costs of illegal migration reach like an octopus into every aspect of our lives. Illegal aliens displaced American workers at a cost in excess of $133 billion dollars last year according to Harvard Professor George Borjas. College and high school kids cannot find a summer job in yard care, landscape, fast food or service jobs. Why? Illegal aliens work them at a third the wage and often, under the table."

• Illegal aliens displaced American workers at a cost in excess of

• $ 133 billion

• 75 percent of drugs arrive from Mexico at a net cost of hard currency that leaves our country for good
• $ 120 billion
  

• Your tax dollars pay for the War on Drugs each year
• $ 80 billion

• You pay annually for prison
  
• $ 1.6 billion

• Lifetime net fiscal drain for an adult immigrant
  
• $ 55,200 ea

• To provide forms, ballots, interpreters and brochuresfor languages
  
• other than English in 2003.
  
• $ 27 billion
  

• Resettlement of legal immigrants.
  
• $ 68 billion

• Emergency Health Care (California)
  
• $ 79 million

• Emergency Health Care (Texas)
  
• $ 74 million

• Emergency Health Care (Georgia)
  
• $ 63 million

• Georgia paid educating illegal alien kids in 2003
  
• $242 million

• Anchor babies*
• $ 109 billion

• Welfare
• $ 20 billion

• Losses to owners/ Insurance**
• $ 864 million

• Funds sent to Mexico
• $ 15 billion
• Funds sent all other countries combined
• $ 41 billion
  

Read the whole article. These figures are from that link, wherein all sources for
these figures are given.

Now, just for grins and giggles, it costs you an additional $84,698,400 per year (not including retirement or any other benefits) in taxes to pay the total salaries for all members in both houses of Congress to do absolutely nothing about the illegal immigration crisis.

The current salary for rank-and-file members of the House and Senate is $158,100 per year.


Senate Leadership
Majority Leader - $175,600
Minority Leader - $175,600

House Leadership
Speaker of the House - $203,000
Majority Leader - $175,600
Minority Leader - $175,600

UPDATE:

I was excited for the peoples of Arizona and under the misguided belief that this state would pave the way to positive action being taken to stymie the tidal wave of illegals and the associated problems. Then I read this: Gov. Janet Napolitano vetoed Senate Bill 1167. FFS what is wrong with this clown?

"The Legislature, to date, has failed to appropriate adequate funding to allow schools to teach English-language learners," she wrote

What is wrong with them paying fees to learn the language of the country themselves? English is the nation's language, these people are immigrants , legal or illegal, looking for a better life. The first lesson that has to be instilled in them, is that the US is not a new breeding ground for the expansion of their homelands by default. She speaks of funding, ask yourself this, just what proportion of her current funding is being spent on the provision of forms, ballots, interpreters and brochures for languages other than English? See above: $27 billion spent in 2003; I am peeved. Divide this figure by the number of states, and that leaves over $500 million per state being spent of taxpayers money for this alone. Why can't they do something useful like spend it on the English language? Or, NO English, No job, fullstop, end of story. How about, you don't speak English or can't afford to learn it , sorry amigo, go back where you came from. This type of affirmative action will soon weed out the illegals, also.


* Babies born to illegals on US soil
**For the state of Arizona only. This cost cannot be fully corroborated to illegals only. However, border security is still the issue.

Shades of Grey

This story is beyond strange when you think of the past antics and prejudices of Sen. Robert "KKK" Byrd against the coloured races within the US. The forces of hate toward the current governing body (ie. the Republican Party and President Bush) of the US must be extremely vexing to both Senator Byrd and to the Senate's lone African-American member, Barack Obama.

Definitely not Black and White:

"In the oddest political pairing in memory, the Senate's lone African-American member, Barack Obama, has become the number one campaigner for the Senate's only ex-Ku Klux Klansman, Sen. Robert Byrd."

I mean to say, (evil grin here) how demeaning for Senator Byrd to have it published world wide that a black man, yes a black man, raised more funds single-handedly, for Byrd's own re-election campaign next year.

Obama does not seem to have a problem, hell, must be all that stooping for the colour of money. "Move on," one way or another, has to be his personal motto.

Tax Gaffe - Piffle, my eye

"A published report says Senator Ted Kennedy has received tax breaks on his Washington home, even though he does not qualify for the deduction.

Kennedy's staff tells the Boston Herald that the senator never applied for the tax break and apparently received it in error. A spokeswoman says Kennedy plans to reimburse the District of Columbia government for the money."

Must be tough for Teddy, to see figures through the bottom of an empty fifth. Then, again, I wonder if he can even remember how to count. We forget he has had trouble recalling facts, but we all remember how he can swim.

Hillary Aide Trial :

"Hillary Clinton's former finance director David Rosen goes on trial today in a case that could have an impact on Clinton's political future.

Rosen, 40, is charged with three counts of making false statements to the Federal Election Commission regarding a star-studded fundraiser for Mrs. Clinton's 2000 Senate campaign."

Hmmm, event costs $1.2 million yet reported only $400,000, and the boss doesn't know. These pack of liars, including the leader Hillary Clinton, need to be given truth serum and then put on the witness stand. Maybe she can use Bill's line..."It all depends what the meaning of the word IS, is."

U.N. Moving ... to Brooklyn:

"United Nations delegates, welcome to ... Brooklyn?

U.N. planners have found commercial space across the East River in Brooklyn that could serve as a temporary home while the United Nations' iconic glass-and-steel headquarters in Manhattan gets a long-overdue renovation, Secretary-General Kofi Annan said in a report Monday."

How the mighty fall. Poor Koffing Anus has a potential problem of travel distances being further for his cronies to get to work. Who is he trying to fool? Koffing, work is something you know nothing about. Scandal, corruption, and lining your pockets, I agree, you do very well. A more suitable site for your office would be the middle of Central Park with all the other low-lifes.

Bush-ism of the Day

I was listening to President Bush's address to the people of the former Soviet Socialist Republic of Georgia, now a sovereign nation because....well, unless you've been asleep for the last 15 years or so....you know why. Anyway, during his speech, our most eloquent (I say with tongue planted firmly in cheek) President said the following:

"The territorial and sovereignty of Georgia must be respected by all nations."

What's wrong with that sentence? If I was a fifth grade teacher, I would give it a "D+." The "territorial" what? Or did he just mean "territory?" I am not suggesting that President Bush is no more educated than a fifth grader, only that he doesn't SPEAK like he's any more educated than a fifth grader. I know he went to Yale and wherever, and he I know he flew F-102's (from what I know, one of the hardest aircraft to fly at the time, especially during take-off and landing) while in the Texas Air National Guard; so he's not stupid. BUT, given the fact he cannot (or will not) say NU-CLEE-RRR, but insists on saying NUKE-U-LER, and continuously stumbles over himself when speaking in public, is it any wonder why the Left accuses him of being a dumbass...and many of the rest of us (who don't think he's a dumbass) simply roll our eyes and shake our heads? And for crying out loud: You pundits out there like Hugh Hewitt, whom I greatly respect, please stop attempting to validate this butchery of the English language by aping the President and saying "NUKE-U-LER" during your broadcasts?

That said, let's assume the President meant to say, "The territory and sovereignty of Georgia must be respected by all nations," and give the same speech to Vicente Fox, substituting "The United States of America" for "Georgia." If he said that and meant what he said, the President could say,"Pish-posh, Peter Tosh," for every answer to every question asked from here on out and I wouldn't care.

Illegal Alien (Mexican) Murders Yet Another American Police Officer

WARNING: This post contains explicit language and graphic depictions of violence, so if you are easily offended, leave now. I am OUTRAGED.

Just yesterday we told you about Oceanside, CA Police Officer Anthony Zepetella who was murdered in cold blood by an illegal alien from Mexico.

Today there is yet the latest in a seemingly never ending saga of illegal fucking immigrants from Mexico murdering our police officers in cold blood. This time in Denver, CO:

Denver police launched an all-out search Sunday for a man who ambushed two uniformed officers working off-duty, killing one and wounding the other.

Detective Donald R. "Donnie" Young, 43, was shot three times around 1 a.m. Sunday while providing security at a party at the Salon Ocampo social hall, 1733 W. Mississippi Ave. Young was shot in the head and the side.

Fellow Detective John Bishop, an eight-year veteran assigned to the child-abuse unit, was shot in the back but was not seriously hurt. Police said a bulletproof vest likely saved his life.

Here's more from another source:

DENVER -- The man suspected of killing an off-duty Denver police officer over the weekend worked in Cherry Creek at a restaurant owned by Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper but he may not have been in this country legally, 7NEWS reported.The suspect, identified as Raul Garcia-Gomez, 19, worked as a bus boy at the Cherry Cricket Restaurant, sources told 7NEWS.

Garcia-Gomez came to Colorado last year from Los Angeles. He and his girlfriend, along with his young daughter, moved into the house on South Vrain and he began working at Cherry Cricket about 10 months ago as a dishwasher, 7NEWS reported.

Garcia-Gomez is a Mexican national who is suspected of being in the United States illegally, 7NEWS reported. 7NEWS has confirmed with federal sources that there is no record of Garcia-Gomez entering the country legally, nor has he ever had contact with immigration authorities. Other than a couple of minor traffic tickets, Garcia-Gomez has no criminal record so there is a concern that he could be trying to return to Mexico, a country that does not extradite suspects who could face the death penalty or life in prison.

From what I gathered, this chicken-shit, coward motherfucker was asked to leave the party, his ego was bruised, and, rather than just going home, his machismo took over. And he shot the two officers from behind. Typical fucking PUSSY!!!

I'm so fucking pissed-off...I'm seething. This is BULLSHIT!!! It has to stop NOW!!! Another ILLEGAL ALIEN, another DEAD POLICE OFFICER!!! Put the Marines on the border with orders to SHOOT TO KILL (that's the only way we're taught - ONE SHOT, ONE KILL). The United States of America is being invaded by the worst kind of third-world scum imaginable, and it's time that it stops NOW!

I don't care if I'm painting with a broad brush; the gloves are off! These fucking vermin are breaking the law the minute they set foot on American soil without authorization. The kind, gentle, humane approach isn't working. These cocksuckers are laughing at us; they don't respect us. Well, then, I say it's time to give them reason to FEAR us - in matters of foreign policy, I would much rather be feared then liked. Shoot 'em, gas 'em, nuke 'em - I don't give a fuck. Kill 'em all. They think it's their country? BRING IT ON, MOTHERFUCKERS!!! You won't believe what happens next even while it's happening.

More Border Issues

"Prop 200 Screening Out Illegal Voters": "Prop 200 Screening Out Illegal Voters

"Stricter immigration laws now on the books in Arizona that require elections officials to check for proof of citizenship have uncovered thousands of new registrants who don't qualify to vote."

In Arizona's Prima County alone, elections officials have rejected 59 percent of all applicants in the last two weeks - or 423 of the 712 new registrants."

Typical Liberal response:

"It's just another obstacle for voters to deal with," Eckerstrom griped. "The whole idea behind this thing is to suppress voter turnout."

He said Proposition 200's "real intent" was to make it difficult for voters - especially those inclined to vote Democratic - to cast a ballot.

Another booming success for Arizona

"A day after the Arizona Senate passed legislation that would make English the official language of Arizona, U.S. English, Inc. Chairman Mauro E. Mujica urged Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano to sign the measure into law.

Then again Liberal solutions: here

"Senators John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) are set to unveil a bipartisan plan for sweeping immigration reform that includes a controversial provision allowing some undocumented workers to apply for permanent residency."

Look who supports them

"The McCain-Kennedy measure "is a perfect transition after the Real ID," said Michelle Waslin, director of immigration policy at the National Council of La Raza, an immigrant advocacy group."

Here is a nice quote from La Raza's site:

"REAL ID Act, introduced by House Judiciary Committee Chair F. James Sensenbrenner (R-WI), would make all Americans less safe and undermine fundamental American values of fairness, due process, and protection of those fleeing persecution."

Now the States are undermining:

"States are threatening to challenge in court and even disobey new orders from Congress to start issuing more uniform driver's licenses and verify the citizenship or legal status of people getting them."

Is this reason enough for people to get totally behind Congress and support uniform identification? Tell your State governors to back off, we want this implementation. Who cares about monetary costs when you consider the possible alternative? Are you ready to sacrifice the lives of future generations for a little inconvenience?

"All but one of the 19 hijackers in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks had some form of U.S. identification, some of it fraudulent, the Sept. 11 Commission found. The commission recommended the federal government set standards for birth certificates and other identification documents, including driver's licenses."

UPDATE:
The Immigration Blog: "Kennedy specifically denies that this is an 'amnesty', but any difference between SAOIA and amnesty is purely semantic. Expect semantics - or, more properly, doublespeak - to be a major part of the debate on this bill."

Arnold Gets It, Even if George Doesn't

This is from our pal, David. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger was on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace. Here is an excerpt from the transcript, where the Governator weighs in on the border issue and the Minuteman Project:

WALLACE: ... you also have praised the Minute Men whom President Bush says are vigilantes for doing a terrific job. Briefly, how would you secure the borders?

SCHWARZENEGGER: By just having more patrol. That's what every country does. It's not reinventing the wheel. That's a no-brainier.

I mean you don't have to be a brain surgeon or anything like this to figure that one out; that if you have not enough border patrol, then people can go through it left and right. I mean...

WALLACE: But there are thousands of miles.

SCHWARZENEGGER: So what? That's what you do when you have a huge country. If you have thousands of miles and thousands of cities in America and they all have to be patrolled.

We have the money to do it. It's not a lack of money. When we can afford the war in Iraq, we can afford to control our own borders.

We are not saying that, yes, we endorse — the Minute Men should do the job. We are saying that the federal government should do the job.

But if the federal government falls short of doing their job and fulfilling their responsibility and the promise to the people, then the average citizen will rise up and will do that job. And that's what they do.

Good on ya', Gov!

Read the entire transcript. In a sea of mostly mealy-mouthed politicians, The Governator is a pretty straight shooter, and that is refreshing.

Some Quick Reminders

As you may or may not know, our good friend, Guy, aka Oldcatman, is going in for back surgery next week as the result of a car accident in which he was not at fault. We remind you to keep good thoughts for him, and say a prayer if you are so inclined. In the meantime, his site is full of satire, pictures from around his farm and of all the animals, and is home of the Thumbnail Passion Play. He has another one up this week, what appears to be one of his early minimalist works entitled "The Lone Ranger." Go visit him, and leave a comment to show your appreciation.

We would also like to add another of our regular readers to our blogroll. Tyler D. has his own blog but still finds time to come here and post comments at our humble endeavor. Go visit him at .45 Caliber Justice, and congratulate him on his new job.

And, as always, go visit our good friend, Vilmar, at his new blog, Ranting Right Wing Howler. He is a wealth of information and great commentary.

Developing Unrest Within Britain's Labour Party

A few days ago, we reported on the significant loss of seats that Labour incurred in the elections last week, wherein we exposed a very co-ordinated and well organized Muslim propaganda machine at work within Great Britain. Some have poo-pooed the fact that Labour lost almost 2/3 of their majority. Is it because of widespread objections to the War in Iraq, or only increased pressure from the resentful but highly vocal Muslim community within Britain? Normally, I wouldn't care, but the fact that PM Blair has been such a very staunch ally of the US in the War on Terror gives me cause for some concern because his replacement might not be so supportive.

But today, it has come out that many MP's within Labour are calling for PM Blair to step aside. Remember, in the Parliamentary system, a PM can be cast aside by his party with what they call a "vote of no confidence" before his term is finished. Let's hope this is just some hot air, but we'll keep an eye on the situation as it develops.

They really ARE Camel Jockeys

I thought this was a joke, but it seems like a big deal in the land of the goat fornicators:

The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the Government of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have signed a $2.7 million agreement to help return and re-integrate underage camel racers in their home communities.

Read the rest; it speaks for itself. Ass-backwards, 11th century-minded desert dwellers. Camel jockeys, indeed.

*As a side note, the site where we obtained this story is a wealth of moonbat folly which provides an endless source of amusement. They claim to be "independent," but apparently they don't know they're a bunch of Leftist propagandists. I think they will need a good fingering soon.

So Much For the Human Rights Commission

Remind me again why Mugabe's regime was voted by the UN to be on the Human Rights Commission and why China remains there? Seems to be a very good relationship developing between Mugabe and the sleeping unknown of China:

"IN A move to control the flow of information in and out of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe’s beleaguered government has acquired sophisticated phone-tapping, radio jamming and internet-monitoring equipment from communist hardliners in China.

and this seems to sum it up:

Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe urged Africa on Monday to forge closer ties with China and other Asian countries and shun the "brutal predominance" of the United States.

Why is this asshat, Marxist son-of-a-bitch still in power? Why is he still alive? Why is he not condemned for serious human rights violations? And who is he to say the US is "brutal" when he is effectively starving his own people to death, deliberately mis-managing the resources of his country (as if that is our fault)? The fact that he sees eye-to-eye with Chna tells me all I need to know: Birds of a feather stick together.

My Email Debate with an Immigration Attorney

Several weeks ago I had this debate with my best friend from high school who is now an immigration attorney. He did not like what I had to say in one of my posts, so he responded. This is the actual email I returned to him. His quotes are in the boxes, with my responses following, just as they occurred in the email. Who won? You tell me.

As an immigration lawyer, you probably dont want me to post the truth about illegal aliens in our country. As bad as most conservatives think they are and as tough as they talk about immigration reform, the bottom line is that none of them are ready to deport all the illegals because it would make their daily lives too unbearable.

Bullshit. First, I am a realist. Deportation is impossible because there are too many, and we don't know where they are. But we should stop any further influx - I don't know about you, but 4000 illegals crossing EVERY DAY sounds like an INVASION to me. They are breaking the law. If they disrespect our immigration laws, how can we expect them to respect the other laws once they get here? If we have immigration laws, they should be enforced. If not, just tell us. Second, this need not be a liberal-conservative issue. It should be an American issue. If they want to come to the US, they need to go through the proper procedures, just like the person coming from overseas who doesn't have the luxury of simply walking across a line in the sand. That's all I want; for them to do it the right way. And, if it makes things "unbearable," then that's OK. It's the price for being lazy and letting it go this far to begin with. And it will only be temporary. Necessity is the mother of invention, and it wouldn't take long for some enterprising American to devise the machinations to get around it. Example: Slavery and the cotton gin. We replaced slaves with a machine.

First, it would cause a collapse of the agricultural and manufacturing economy of the U.S. (which may take the broader economy down with it). And besides, nobody is ready to give up their illegal alien nannys, or the people that serve them food at restaurants, clean and paint their houses, mow their lawns, build their new luxury homes, dry clean their laundry, clean their offices at night while they are at home sleeping, and all those other nice things. The fact is that most of the 10M illegals are doing jobs that Americans dont want to do.

More BS. Who did all those jobs before we had illegals? How am I better off when I have to repeat myself 5 times at the drive-through and they still can't get my order right because they can't speak fucking English? In NZ and Australia it's mostly teenagers working part-time who fill those jobs, and no matter where they are from, they speak English. I say that if there were no illegals, the people who used to do those jobs would do so again. Put the welfare types and the homeless (who aren't insane) to work. If one is on welfare, that person should work for it - or starve. Sounds to me like you endorse a slave class which I thought was anathema to liberalism.

When I moved a few weeks ago, I had arranged with the VA labor force to send me 3 workers (Americans) to be at my house at 9am on a Sunday to help with the move. Only 1 showed up. Oh yes, it was Easter Sunday and I understand that these folks need to pray, be with their families and take a day of rest. Then I called Jorge, my reliable handy man friend and asked him for help. Within an hour he and 2 other guys (who couldnt speak a lick of English) were at my door ready to move. They put in a solid days work and pulled me out of a serious bind. I would love to have paid U.S. workers to do the job, but they bailed and left me hanging. I could go on an on...but I wont. Either way it is just my opinion. I dont know much about blogs or whether they are open to posting opposing views. But for what its worth, this is what I think about the issue. I love America and I love Americans. But, to me, bashing illegals is about as silly as bashing the oil companies for polluting our environment - - while they pump and refine crude oil for us to use. There are a few people who can do this without being hypocritical; but they are very small in number.

Yes, for every story of reliable, dependable Mexicans, I have an equal number of stories of criminals and miscreants, but that is irrelevant because they come in all shapes and nationalities. Your arguments are ex post facto justifications and rationalizations that do not refute the fact that they are breaking the law, counselor. Remember, I lived within 50 miles of the border for the last 13 years, and I saw it all being an inspector in the construction industry (most skilled labor is still done by non-Mexicans). For every one that comes here looking for a better life, there is at least one who comes here with the worst of intentions. The point of LEGAL immigration (with background checks, medical exams, etc) is to help distinguish between the two, yes? My blog is open to all comments because I believe in the free exchange of ideas, and I don't like preaching to the choir.

NZ and Australia have some pretty strict immigration policies - I am going through the red tape to LEGALLY get residency here. One of the requirements is that all applicants MUST SPEAK ENGLISH!!! and have the means to sustain themselves while here waiting on disposition. These countries want people who are going to be an asset, not a liability, to their society. Why must we just take the dregs that Fox doesn't want? Who does he think he is telling us what our laws should be? Fuck him! Mexico needs to take care of its own problems. How many can we absorb? What about prison overcrowding? - 2/3 of federal prisoners are illegals; God only knows how many of them clog our county jails and state prisons. What about all the hospital trauma center/emergency room closures in SoCal because they treat illegals who have no insurance and no other means to pay? I gotta pay for mine, and I'll be damned if my tax money should pay for them too.

I know there are illegals all over the US now, but I can't take too seriously the opinions of anybody who doesn't live in a border state. I just don't think you realize how bad it is. A nation is defined by its borders, language, and culture. Lose one, and your nation is soon to cease being a nation. I am glad to have left that behind; I just can't take watching my country destroy itself from within.

Loco or What??

More whacky Europeans, the Spanish this time. Amnesty for 700,000 illegals will equate to more racially inspired bombings,( re: Muslims) to blackmail their new homeland into conforming to what they believe and want; just wait and see.
Spain grants amnesty to 700,000 migrants

"Spain declared an amnesty yesterday for about 700,000 illegal immigrants, bucking a Europe-wide trend of cracking down on economic migrants, while striking at exploitation of those working secretly and fearfully in the black economy"

I was thinking I'm lucky I don't speak Spanish; then I thought well, not many Spanish will be left speaking their own language soon. Maybe a hybrid "Fars-ish" will become the new tongue. El Allah esta ak bar.

More Border Insanity

Many of you already know that I am a staunch supporter of closing the US-Mexico border. I believe it is the single most important issue facing the United States today - bigger than Iraq, campaign finance reform, social security reform, abortion, or anything else - because if we lose our country, nothing else matters. The current state of the border also flies in the face of any effort towards bolstering national security. Look at it this way: If you are fighting a neighbor a few blocks from your house in the name of better home security, does it make sense to leave your front door unlocked in the process? That is exactly what is happening with the border.

A few days ago we published an op/ed entitled "What's at Stake With the Mexican Border." It spells out very clearly what the militants on the other side of the issue are supporting. Today I bring you this piece that is but one of many disgusting examples of why the border must be closed. The incident occurred in the parking lot of Navy Federal Credit Union where I used to bank when I lived in Oceanside, CA which, you may or may not be aware, is the home of Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton.

In June 2003, Officer Zepetella pulled over Adrian Camacho, an illegal immigrant who had previously been deported THREE TIMES and is a 4-time repeat felony offender with a long criminal record:

* He was arrested in 1991 as a juvenile for carrying a loaded firearm in public at the scene of a drive-by shooting. It was also determined that he was a member of the Mesa Locos gang.
* When he was 18, he was arrested on a felony warrant by a North County task force investigating drug and gang crimes. He pleaded guilty to possession of methamphetamine and was sent to prison for 16 months.
* On March 29, 1995, Camacho was charged with possession of heroin and narcotics paraphernalia. He pleaded guilty to heroin possession under a plea bargain, and was sentenced to another 16 months.
* On Aug. 9, 1996, he was arrested again on drug charges and for possession of a sawed-off shotgun. He was charged with being a felon in possession of a short-barreled shotgun, receiving stolen property, possession of a narcotic without a prescription and possession of drug paraphernalia. He pleaded guilty to the weapon charge and possessing stolen property and was sentenced to three years in prison.
* On Nov. 27, 1999, Camacho was arrested for failing to pull over for a police officer. According to the police complaint he fled after seeing flashing lights on a patrol car. He pleaded guilty to evading arrest with reckless driving and driving under the influence of drugs and was sentenced to four years in prison.

This scum bag was pulled over for a traffic violation and then subsequently shot Officer Zepetella. These two local news stories do not tell the whole story, however. I personally spoke to winesses who told me that the officer was attempting to crawl back to his patrol car, and the scum bag then shot the officer to death with his own weapon and then pistol whipped him before taking the patrol car to, as the news stories point out, a location where he holed-up for several hours before surrendering to the police.

The makeshift memorial I saw on the following Monday (the tragedy occurred on a Friday, a military payday, too) when I went to do my banking made me weep for his young wife and their 6 month old son who will never know his father because of a lowlife criminal from another country. When I learned that this animal had been deported THREE TIMES prior, it made me sick with rage.

Altered Pledge of Allegiance

Good grief! This is getting way beyond the joke. The school administration is claiming it is not their policy, however, it seems their policy does include the hiring of moronic secularists. (I know the article is a couple weeks out of date but I had it drafted and forgot to post it...still worthy I think):

The Washington Times

"DENVER -- The students in Vincent Pulciani's seventh-grade class were reciting the Pledge of Allegiance this week when they heard the voice over the intercom say something they'd never heard before, at least not during the Pledge. Instead of 'one nation, under God,' the voice said, 'one nation, under your belief system."

My imagination runs wild with the corruption these so called educated morons spread. If the stupid cow wants to encompass all religions, her easiest solution would be go live in Europe where she will be over run by the vast masses and their tolerances.

Is she even educated enough to realise that the US was not founded on Islamic Verses, Buddhism, paganism, or secularism, but under God?

Clinton Madness

Inside Cover Story: "Clinton Endorses Farrakhan March.

Ex-President Bill Clinton is endorsing Nation of Islam chief Minister Louis Farrakahan's 'Millions More Movement' over the objections of the Anti-Defamation League, which is urging top politicians to avoid the October event because they say that both Farrakhan and march organizer Malik Zulu Shabazz are anti-Semitic."

Don't you just love a has been?

In recent statements, Minister Farrakhan has blamed Jews for both slavery and the Iraq war, the ADL said. Mr. Shabazz said last summer that "the Zionist has no right to open his mouth anywhere on the planet."

Clinton's endorsement came despite the ADL's call for top political figures to distance themselves from the march. "They were basically standing up for the dignity of family and asking African American men and fathers to be more responsible"

Oh, it is ok to stand up for dignity of family but not if they are Zionist. Is Clinton still affected by drugs from his surgery? Or has Hillary just slapped him upside the head too often?

Eeeeh Gads No Nads

Geez, I dont know whether to laugh or cry. Thanks to Terpsboy for these.



Flaunt it if you have got it, but in this case would someone please tell these delusional loons that they are far from sending any message - well, one, anyway: "LOOK! We are not only small minded but small ...... too." Makes me realise why so many turn to surgical enhancements...

and this clown.......



Must be a bummer being him.

Who is Right?

I realise this is not a pretty topic to read or view, however, so many have forgotten the purpose, the real reasons behind the occupation of Iraq. Saddam!!!....he was an ally to Al Qaeda and a murderer of 100's of thousands of innocents.
BLACKFIVE:

"I hope that the evidence the un-named archaeologist finds will help prosecute Saddam Hussein and his lieutenants. When I see images like these, I can't help but remember that France, Germany, and Russia would have kept Saddam in power."

All the liberal minded out there that keep pulling rose coloured glasses over their eyes, explain again why the US and her allies are fighting an unjust war. BTW, here are some figures to start tossing about with the ones you use for the unfortunate losses that have occured in the fight of freeing a country from tyranny.

"182,000 Kurds are still unaccounted for..."

Cameras on a Roll in Iraq

With the Saddam Regime gone, the people of Iraq are starting to experience something most western civilisations take for granted.

Cameras on a Roll in Iraq:

"BAGHDAD — Iraqi director Akram Kamel is racing against the sun to finish shooting a Baghdad street scene for his television miniserie"

Imagine that they are finally able to see events live, unfolding before them from the comfort of their homes. Education through televised media is a rapid vehicle for the recovery of a peoples spirit and provides a scope of what can be acheived and is available to them, no doubt alot of eyes have opened to what can be acheived.

"At first, people were so eager to see the outside world," said Dahan of Al Sharqiyah, the satellite channel which now only airs Iraqi-produced programming. "A year later they were filled up, and now they want to see something local."

Those Whacky Euro-pee-ons

Nearly 2000 free-to-be-you-and-me types, this time in Belgium, gathered in the street at dawn for a nude photography session in the cold and wet, all in the name of art. Yes, it seems any time a group of people want to shed their clothes in public to demonstrate their lack of inhibitions, there is always this trend to call it "art." Whatever. Check it out, and see for yourself. Tell me how this is considered art. The Belgians need to stick to beer and waffles, as their days of producing what I would consider serious art are long past.

Mothers Against Everything

I received this from Guy aka Old Catman....I love the title he gave it, and the acronymn M.A.E....LOL

Some Weekend Humour

We got this from our pal and contributor, David, aka DR@HDfixit. Go here now, and be ready to laugh your ass off.

WARNING: It's over 3MB, and it takes a while to download. So go make some coffee while you wait; and bring me a cup, too.

Anything That Might Be Good News is Sour Grapes for the MSM

Isn't this typical. The media immediately dismisses the capture of a man who was involved in the Saddam Regime as insignificant. Regardless of what position this man held in the Saddam organisation, he can not be described as "flotsam and jetsam." He is a criminal to every citizen that lost family members ridding the world of the likes of him!!!!!

Captured Al-Qaeda kingpin is case of ‘mistaken identity’

"THE capture of a supposed Al-Qaeda kingpin by Pakistani agents last week was hailed by President George W Bush as “a critical victory in the war on terror”. According to European intelligence experts, however, Abu Faraj al-Libbi was not the terrorists’ third in command, as claimed, but a middle-ranker derided by one source as “among the flotsam and jetsam” of the organisation."

Why can't the media accept that the election of Blair was won because the British voted that way, just like the US did for Bush?

"The only operations in which he is known to have been involved are two attempts to assassinate Pervez Musharraf, Pakistan’s president, in 2003. Last year he was named Pakistan’s most wanted man with a $350,000 (£185,000) price on his head."

Please, you pieces of useless information gatherers, grow up, then go and weep in a corner silently to yourselves. Or better still, go live with these so called non criminals. I, for one, do not believe a man who acted in the capacity of a regional facillitator for Al Qaeda and Pakistani Islamic groups was doing this for the sake of the rest of humanity.

PATRIOTS FOR BUSH

I was spending time relaxing this fine cool Sunday afternoon when I happened upon this article, outright slandering of the first Lady's name and reputation is beyond belief and also sickkkkkk!!!!!

"Saddam Hussein killed close to a hundred thousand people during his reign of terror but for some reason the mental midgets who infest Democratic Underground think President Bush is worse. Leave it to one of the many paranoid schizophrenics who inhabit DU to bash Laura Bush (who has a near 90% approval rating) with this lovely image:"

What's at Stake With the Mexican Border?

This article from Newsmax spells it out very clearly.

Many Hispanic activists, Mexican citizens and perhaps even members of the Mexican government believe the American Southwest rightfully belongs to Mexico. They refuse to accept the legality of the U.S. annexation of Texas in 1845, the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo following the Mexican-American War, which gave large parts of Mexico to the U.S., or the 1852 Gadsden Purchase of Mexican territory now in Arizona and New Mexico.

Let's see: We bought some of the land, which means they sold it. The rest of it they LOST because WE KICKED THEIR ASS!!! Now they don't like the terms of acquisition? Come and take it back then. Oh, wait, that's what we're letting them do.

Past and present leaders of Mexico support this idea of reclamation which helps explain why:

A Zogby poll found that 58 percent of Mexicans agreed with the statement, "The territory of the Southwest U.S. rightfully belongs to Mexico," and therefore they believe they don't need permission to enter.

So how will they take it back (besides us just letting them have it)?

Activist Charles Trujillo, a professor at the University of New Mexico, predicts that a new Hispanic nation will be formed within this century, encompassing much of the American Southwest and part of northern Mexico. He says U.S. states have the right to secede under our original Articles of Confederation, and this will occur in the future when several Southwest states have Hispanic majorities.

That's right: They will keep coming into the US illegally, out-breed us, and gain a political and demographic majority. Our politicians, including President Bush, think they can make them either Republicans or Democrats and increase their voting base, so they don't want to make waves. Mr. President, with all due respect, please GET OFF YOUR ASS AND DO SOMETHING NOW!!!

But it's ultimately going to be up to you and me to stop this madness. The Minuteman Project is a great idea whose time has been long overdue. I personally think we are being invaded and thus all illegals should be shot on sight while attempting to cross the border. They are trying to steal our birthright as Americans; a birthright our forefathers fought for - and the Mexicans lost. I'll be damned if we should let our nation slip away by default, without a fight.

The only thing that stands between them and our country is US!!! Will you let them take it from you? Keep making excuses for them being here and making excuses for your lazy politicians doing nothing about it, and they will.

The Lighter Side

Would you pay nearly $250,000 for a Volkswagen Golf?

More Rock Trivia

In the 1980's there was a band called "Missing Persons." From whom or what were they missing?
