Fred Phelps, Hater, Loses Court Case

Fred Phelps Freaks Lose Big
via LGF

The brokenhearted father of a Marine killed in Iraq won a long-shot
legal fight today after a federal jury in Baltimore awarded him nearly $11
million in a verdict against members of a Kansas church who hoisted anti-gay
placards at his son’s Westminster funeral.

The jury’s announcement 24 hours after deliberations first began
was met with tears and hugs from the family and supporters of Lance Cpl. Matthew
Snyder, whose March 2006 funeral was protested by members of the Westboro
Baptist Church with signs including “Thank God for dead soldiers.”

Snyder’s father, Albert, won on every count of his complaint, as
well as $2.9 million for compensatory damages and $8 million for punitive
damages.

I hope this evil clown from Hell, Fred Phelps, is brought low to never rise again. He is a disgrace that uses God for his own importance and benefit. His family is no better.

I am very happy for this verdict and hope it stands.

God bless all our troops, living and dead, and their families.

And I Thought Hemorrhoids Caused Communism

Marx's erupting skin may have influenced writings

Karl Marx, who complained of excruciating boils, actually suffered
from a chronic skin disease with known psychological effects that may well have
influenced his writings, a British expert said on Tuesday.

Sam Shuster, professor of dermatology at the University of East
Anglia, believes the revolutionary thinker had hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) in
which the apocrine sweat glands -- found mainly in the armpits and groin --
become blocked and inflamed.

"In addition to reducing his ability to work, which contributed to
his depressing poverty, hidradenitis greatly reduced his self-esteem," said
Shuster, who published his findings in the British Journal of
Dermatology.

"This explains his self-loathing and alienation, a response
reflected by the alienation Marx developed in his writing."

While HS is linked to boil-like lumps, the painful condition also
causes more widespread infection, swelling, skin thickening and
scarring.

It could also explain a number of Marx's other complaints, not
previously linked, such as joint pain and a painful eye condition which often
stopped him working.

Shuster based his diagnosis on an analysis of Marx's extensive
correspondence, in which he wrote to friends about his health and described his
skin lesions as "curs" and "swine."

"The bourgeoisie will remember my carbuncles until their dying
day," Marx told Friedrich Engels in a letter from 1867.

Marx, who died in 1883, was one of the most influential
philosophers of the 19th century and his radical writings formed the basis of
modern communism.

Who would have thought that ten's of millions would die and that many more would suffer because some loser had boils.

U.S. diplomats vent over forced Iraq duty

Several hundred U.S. diplomats vented anger and frustration Wednesday
about the State Department's decision to force foreign service officers to take
jobs in Iraq, with some likening it to a "potential death sentence."

...

"It's one thing if someone believes in what's going on over there and
volunteers, but it's another thing to send someone over there on a forced assignment," Croddy said. "I'm sorry, but basically that's a potential death sentence and you know it. Who will raise our children if we are dead or
seriously wounded?"

His remarks were met with loud and sustained applause from the
approximately 300 diplomats at the meeting. (emp. mine)

Fair weather friends who believe they should be able to choose their cruise. To quote the liberal kos, screw'em. They are government employees and they'll go where they're told.

If they don't like it or they don't support the administration, fire them.

Oh, and to you dippos, don't let the door hit you in the rear on your way out. Ta Ta.

UFO Boy Kucinich Questions Bush's Mental Health

Wackjob from Cleveland questions other's mental health.

Kucinich: Time to question Bush's mental health

Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D. Ohio) suggested today that President Bush's
comment about a nuclear Iran precipitating "World War III" is a sign of mental
instability.

"I seriously believe we have to start asking questions about his mental
health,"

...

"There's a lot of people who need care. He might be one of them. If
there isn't something wrong with him, then there's something wrong with us.
This, to me, is a very serious question."

More thoughts from the maestro of mischievousness:

Rep. Kucinich: "I'm from the universal-health-care wing of the Democratic
party. I'm from the Roe v. Wade-litmus-test wing of the Democratic party. I'm
from the abolish-the-death-penalty wing of the Democratic party ... I'm from the
gun-control wing of the Democratic party." (Tom Curry, "Kucinich Spices Up
The Race," MSNBC.com, 7/14/03)

In case you may not believe he is sincere in his moonbattery:

Rep. Kucinich: "We prepare for war so grandly; let us prepare for peace
grandly by looking fearlessly and deep into the hearts of those who wish us
harm, and find that spark of recognition that connects us to a common humanity
and from that draw a flicker of hope to enkindle the warm glow of peace." (Rep.
Dennis Kucinich, Congressional Record, 7/20/06, p. H5494)

The "warm glow of peace" is gonna stop terrorists..

Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich has seen a UFO,
writes Shirley MacLaine in her new book, "Sage-Ing While Age-Ing."

Kucinich, she writes on page143-144 of the book, "had a close sighting
over my home in Graham, Washington, when I lived there. Dennis found his
encounter extremely moving. The smell of roses drew him out to my balcony where, when he looked up, he saw a gigantic triangular craft, silent, and observing him. It hovered, soundless, for ten minutes or so, and sped away with a speed he
couldn't comprehend. He said he felt a connection in his heart and heard
directions in his mind."

Directions in his mind? This from the boy that, as mayor, put Cleveland Ohio into bankruptcy and thought it would help the city financially to fire 1/2 the police and 1/2 the fire department protecting the citizens. Maybe Dennis can rekindle the warm glow of reality.

Nah.

Buffett's Reverse Pig Out At Tax Trough Through Desired Regurgitation

I should pay more tax, says US billionaire Warren Buffett

MEMO
TO: WARREN BUFFETT
FROM: mRed
RE: TAXES

If you feel the need to open your doddering mouth about taxes please do so in the privacy of your own world. I do not want to pay more taxes at any level including local, state and federal taxes nor do I want to pay more of their fees, services and other gimmicky ways government sucks money out of our pockets.

If you want to pay more taxes, fine, do so, but shut up about it. Now, liberals will puff out their chests and crow about how even a running dog capitalist pig such as you understands the need for more taxation, thus more taxes can and should be levied. Thanks for that Warren. You're a prince of a fellow.

Maybe we can pay a new tax for left handed lesbian nuns who play violins made by dyslexic dwarves from Steubenville.

End Of The World Anniversary

October 30




The radio play "The War of the Worlds," starring Orson Welles and the Mercury Theater, panics some listeners who thought that the earth was being invaded from Mars. 1938

2007 - If Bush isn't impeached immediately, Mother Earth's head will explode taking all of us to a place of eternal pollution for our misdeeds instead of being alive with the great spirit of love and peace. In short: End of the world; Part II and just as real.

Please Spread This Concerning TNR

I can't say this any better than Jonn Lilyea from This Ain't Hell so I am just going to cut and paste. I hope that is okay because I am behind this 100%.

A point of honor

Filed under: Politics, Media, Society, Administrative — Jonn Lilyea @ 7:59 am
Last night I got an email from Confederate Yankee who has often been running point on the Beauchamp/The New Republic story for the entire blogoshere. He asked me to support a boycott he was starting against The New Republic. Of course I said I would, then I fell asleep waiting for the Redskins to score. But I’m refreshed this morning and so so here’s the gist of the plan from CY;

We know that TNR allowed all three of Scott Beauchamp’s stories to be published without being competently fact-checked, if fact-checked at all.

We know that the editors of TNR, led by Franklin Foer, lied when they said that the stories had been competently fact-checked, we know they deceived their readers and misled at least one civilian expert in an attempt to create a whitewash of an investigation.

[…]

We know The New Republic attempted to stonewall their way through obvious, blatant, and grievous breaches of journalistic ethics. In so doing, they have attacked the service, integrity, and honor of an entire company of American soldiers serving in a combat zone to avoid taking responsibility for their own editorial and ethical failures.

I’d ask U.S. military veterans, military families, active duty personnel, and the vast majority of Americans who support our servicemen and women to call these companies, institutions and agencies to pull their advertising from TNR, effective immediately.

[…]

We cannot force The New Republic to behave honorably, but we can make their dishonesty come at a price.

I’m 100% behind this - Beauchamp has at least decided to rehabilitate himself, on the other hand, TNR hasn’t shown the least bit of remorse for their skullduggery.
Blackfive’s The Wolf and Chickenhawk Express are on board.

Please post this and also send it to others.

UPDATE: To Dean and others. I changed NPR to TNR for obvious reasons. Sorry if my freudian slip showed.

Gothic Mantel Soon To Be Shipped

Got this bad boy in my future as soon as the doctor okays lifting more than 5 measley pounds. Luckily, I got the wide plank pine flooring in before the slice and dice.

The floor is really cool, it started as a floor for a public house which after many years became a storage structure and shelter for sheep and cattle before becoming a print shop. I got the floor out just hours before the fire department used the structure for practice.

I've Always Detested The Washington Post

There's an old joke:

God, thoroughly disgusted with man, announced the end of the earth.

The LA Times' headline screamed, "EARTH NO MORE"

The New York Times stated "Negotiations With God Fail, President Announces End"

The Washington Post Exclaimed, "TRAGEDY ON EARTH, Women and minorities hit hardest"

Friends called the paper "The Washington Compost" and similar derogatory names. Others said they used it to line their birdcage even when they didn't own a bird. Me? I didn't miss ignoring it. The Post has never been worth the effort to read.

An example would be this article

'I Don't Think This Place Is Worth Another Soldier's Life'

While top U.S. commanders say the statistics of violence have registered a
steep drop in Baghdad and elsewhere, the soldiers' experience in Sadiyah shows
that numbers alone do not describe the sense of aborted normalcy -- the fear,
the disrupted lives -- that still hangs over the city.

Facts mean nothing to the Post. Their reality is a reality so distorted it makes the reality-based community of the plain left look real which is an accomplishment of no small means. To the Post, for each story, a theme is decided upon and all wording, imagery and all borrowed innuendo must support the theme.

For the majority of stories the theme is why do people think this is good when we know, after we have carefully viewed it, that it really sucks. An example might be that the spirit of Christmas isn't really pure when so many go without, thus Christ is a poseur and xmas is really just a corporate money maker of a holiday, but please support our advertisers by going to section D to view this year's trendy Christmas decorations and where you can buy them.

Talk about "aborted normalcy".

Maybe that is what the phrase "The Washington Post" has come to mean, "aborted normalcy" in a town where normalcy is murdered every day by professionals who are elected paid to act as if they actually care.

Iraqi Generosity The MSM Would Rather Not Report

What goes around - Comes around

Is it no wonder that we feel differently about the people of Iraq, when the
American media only reports sensational news? If it doesn’t bleed or explode,
you just aren’t going to see it on the evening news. I received a press release
from Baghdad today, which I know the mainstream media will not pass on to you
all. Here is an example of Iraqi charity and gratitude which touched my soul.
Imagine how incredibly generous these soldiers are. They have little to support
their own families. It’s not enough that they are fighting daily to bring peace
to their country. They are actually reaching out to help unfortunate
Americans.

I blame Bush.

It Was A Dark And Stormy Night

It was a long night, Mr. Speaker, when we heard back the reports as the news
reports said that a plane has gone down in Ely, Minnesota, and it was thought to
be containing Paul Wellstone and his partner, Sheila Wellstone, and their
daughter and several other campaigners. We hoped all night that what we thought might have happened didn't happen, but at the end of the evening, we learned that that tragedy, in fact, did occur. Our worst fears were confirmed when we learned that we lost him, but it was a long several hours before we realized
that that tragedy had actually occurred, and we had hoped against hope. I will
never forget that night.

Wellstone's plane went down around 9AM. Though not in Cambodia.

Break A Law, It Doesn't Matter Anymore

In fact, screw the law. If the government doesn't care why should we?

Who's side is Homeland security on? Not ours. ILLEGAL Aliens are now supposed to get drivers licenses. Not to drive their ass home, but to our jobs, our schools, our hospitals and our services.

Homeland Security strikes deal with New York on driver's licenses

Why have laws at all? Are laws pertaining to taxes, speed limits and drugs now negotiable if a moron like Eliot Spitzer feels the need to feel the pain of law breakers?

How Clintonesque. The devil is no longer in a blue dress the details I guess.

Call France (A Reprint from February)

This was e-mailed to me by a politically moderate friend. He prefaced it with "Hell Yeah".

WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT TO TURN ON THE TV AND HEAR OUR U.S. PRESIDENT, DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN GIVE THE FOLLOWING SPEECH?

My Fellow Americans: As you all know, the defeat of the Iraq regime has been completed.Since congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our mission in Iraq is complete.

This morning I gave the order for a complete removal of all American forces from Iraq. This action will be complete within 30 days. It is now time to begin the reckoning.

Before me, I have two lists. One list contains the names of countries which have stood by our side during the Iraq conflict. This list is short. The United Kingdom , Spain , Bulgaria , Australia , and Poland are some of the countries listed there.

The other list contains everyone not on the first list. Most of the world's nation s are on that list. My press secretary will be distributing copies of both lists later this evening.

Let me start by saying that effective immediately, foreign aid to those nations on List 2 ceases immediately and indefinitely. The money saved during the first year alone will pretty much pay for the cost s of the Iraqi war.

The American people are no longer going to pour money into third world countries and watch those government leaders grow fat on corruption.

Need help with a famine? Wrestling with an epidemic? Call France.

In the future, together with Congress, I will work to redirect this money toward solving the vexing social problems we still have at home. On that note, a word to terrorist organizations. Screw with us and we will hunt you down and eliminate you and all your friends from the face of the earth.

Thirsting for a gutsy country to terrorize? Try France, or maybe China.

I am ordering the immediate severing of diplomatic relations with France, Germany, and Russia. Thanks for all your help, comrades. We are retiring from NATO as well. Bon chance, mesamis.

I have instructed the Mayor of New York City to begin towing the many UN diplomatic vehicles located in Manhattan with more than two unpaid par king tickets to sites where those vehicles will be stripped, shredded and crushed. I don't care about whatever treaty pertains to this. You creeps have tens of thousands of unpaid tickets. Pay those tickets tomorrow or watch your precious Benzes, Beamers and limos be turned over to some of the finest chop shops in the world. I love New York.

A special note to our neighbors. Canada is on List 2. Since we are likely to be seeing a lot more of each other, you folks might want to try not ticking us off for a change.

Mexico is also on List 2. President Fox and his entire corrupt government really need an attitude adjustment. I will have a couple extra tank and infantry divisions sitting around. Guess where I am going to putem? Yep, border security. So start doing something with your oil.

Oh, by the way, the United States is abrogating the NAFTA treaty - starting now.

We are tired of the one-way highway. Immediately, we 'll be drilling for oil in Alaska - which will take care of this country's oil needs for decades to come. If you're an environmentalist who opposes this decision, I refer you to List 2 above: pick a country and move there. They care.

It is time for America to focus on its own welfare and its own citizens. Some will accuse us of isolationism. I answer them by saying, "darn tootin."

Nearly a century of trying to help folks live a decent life around the world has only earned us the undying enmity of just about everyone on the planet. It is time to eliminate hunger in America. It is time to eliminate homelessness in America. It is time to eliminate World Cup Soccer from America.

To the nations on List 1, a final thought. Thanks guys. We owe you and we won't forget.

To the nations on List 2, a final thought: You might want to learn to speak Arabic.

God bless America.

Thank you and good night.

If you can read this, thank a teacher.

If you are reading it in English, thank a soldier.

In Maine Parents Too Stupid To Raise Children

How did we get to the point where schools, hospitals, medical personnel and government have decided that parents do not have the right to know facts, events and procedures about their children. Their underage children.

This idea was driven home by the school in Maine that wants to give birth control to 11 year old girls. Not women. Not young ladies. Girls. A proponent of this idea stated that this is no different than the practices of health care clinics all over the state that routinely treat under age children without their parents knowledge or that refuse to give the parents any information about results, diagnosis and treatment concerning their children.

BTW, the school nurse pushing contraceptives for eleven year old kids is married to the State Attorney General of the state of Maine. Conflict there?

Over the years I have been repeatedly told that I am not allowed to be privy to information about my children. When in public schools for undergraduate studies my children's well being or travails were none of my business when speaking with school officials. Even though I paid for my children's education when they attended college I was not allowed to be aware of their progress, at least by school officials. I was told that I could discuss it with my children.

How did we get to this point where local, state and federal officials are required to know information about our children, but as parents we are not to know, indeed, we are told it is not our right to know.

We're not smart enough to know what is right for our children and we are supposed to believe that bureaucrats that do not know our kids or us know what is best for all of us.

Now cometh our great mother Hillary to kick it up a notch.

Aren't we lucky? If it weren't for bureaucrats all the 11 year old children in Maine would be pregnant or parents. But they wouldn't have any rights.

Protestor painted in 'blood' accosts Condoleezza Rice

A woman with her hands painted blood-red confronted Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice at the US Congress Wednesday, shouting "war criminal" before being hauled away by Capitol security.

Desiree Farooz accosted Rice ahead of her appearance at a House of Representatives hearing on US foreign policy, waving her hands just centimeters (inches) from the diplomat's face inside the committee meeting room as television cameras captured the confrontation.

"The blood of millions of Iraqis is on your hands," Farooz shouted, before police wrestled her away.

Several other people, members of the anti-war activist group Code Pink, were subsequently ejected from the room.

.

When are the grownups going to show for these debates. I mean childish behavior and street theatre went out in the 70's. Now it's just embarrassing, especially when a grown woman who wants to be den mother for a bunch of Code Pink losers (via Classical Values)decides to confront a member of the administration with fake blood and lies. Desiree's hubby ain't too happy about her living arrangements, in fact Mohammed is "not happy". Damned women won't stay in their place.

Harry Reid Guillotines Anti-Illegal Debate

Note to minion: After blaming California wild fires on global warming, Heraldo Harry wants to forgive and forget millions of illegal aliens. Well get the Republicans to forget them. Next election Harry will have direct mail pieces going to every unknown address in the country reminding the illegals just who made their crimes go away.

Harry has invoked cloture on his little immigration bribe in that he has cut off debate, i.e., no discussionas about mexicanos sneaking across el border.

To do: Call you elected (by legal Americans) representatives and scream bloody murder about what you'll do if they vote for this bill.

In my case that means calling the office of the crying man Voinovich and Herod Brown who will wash his hands of anything unpleasant, but still go along with it because he feels their pain, but not ours.

When: Now! Go! Call. Write. Visit. Make your friends do likewise. Join the Republic and heckle your Reps. It's the American way.

Make America illegal for illegals to become legal in an illegal way. Vote American. Vote against Reid!

bringing joy to her daughter Chelsea. So where is Socks today?

Once the presidency was over, there was no room for Socks any more.
After years of loyal service at the White House, the black and white cat was
dumped on Betty Currie, Bill Clinton’s personal secretary, who also had an
embarrassing clean-up role in the saga of his relationship with the intern
Monica Lewinsky.

Maybe that stink in the White House wasn't the litter box.

Eliot Spitzer's Illegal Voters To Legally Drive To Polls

Illegals OK'd to drive in N.Y.
New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer has started a major political fight over
immigration by ordering state officials to issue driver's licenses to illegal
aliens, prompting at least one county legislature to defy the executive order
and pushing toward a showdown in court.

The embattled governor's order has drawn some acerbic commentary,
including a cartoon showing Osama bin Laden as a New York City taxi driver.
After spending months trying to deflect charges that he used state police to
target the Republican leader of the state Senate, Mr. Spitzer appears eager for
a fight over this contentious issue.

"The rabid right that wants to pile on and use this to demagogue
the issue will not carry the day in New York state," he said recently. "Those
who view this as a political issue once again are taking the state in the wrong
direction."

Fresh from his criminal activity as bully-in-chief, Eliot Spitzer has ripped a page from the Pelosi/Reid book of lowlife politics by blatantly lying and ignoring reality, the voter's wishes and the law to deflect criticism from his troubled administration by giving illegal aliens the right to drive in New York. It seems that Democrats/liberals nationwide are using the Pelosi/Reid model of totally ignoring reality and creating an alter-world of their own where they can practice a brand of politics that has no connection to the truth anywhere except in the MSM's world of e=mc tripled. Given time Spitzer may yet figure out how to share credit for raising $4.2 million for the Marine Corps - Law Enforcement Foundation with Hysterical Harry.

I can't wait to drive on the Bell Parkway between two jihadists fighting over a little boy and a piñata bandit late for taco hour at the local welfare office.

But, at least the illegals won't be breaking the law when they drive to the polls to vote for Eliot. That's a plus. Right?

Pelosi Hangs Stark Out To Dry For CYA

Pelosi Rebukes Stark for Iraq Comments

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rebuked a fellow San Francisco Bay-area
liberal Friday for what she said were "inappropriate" comments about Iraq during a congressional debate.

Maybe the Nanner can use this to give herself cover for all of the stupid and offensive things that she has spewed from her mouth.

"Bush is an incompetent leader. In fact, he's not a leader,'' Pelosi said. "He's a person who has no judgment, no experience and no knowledge of the subjects that he has to decide upon.''

"I believe that the president's leadership in the actions taken in Iraq demonstrate an incompetence in terms of knowledge, judgment and experience in making the decisions that would have been necessary to truly accomplish the mission without the deaths to our troops and the cost to our taxpayers."

"If people are ripping your face off," she said, picking at a chicken salad dressed only with lemon wedges, "you have to rip their face off."

Remembering The Troops Means You're Pro-War, You War Monger

Photos of troops overseas are gone from Paso post office, inspiring outrage

The photos were taken down after a customer complained that the display
was pro-war. When the issue came to the attention of the regional postal center,
they asked that Paso Robles postmaster Mike Milby and his staff take them down
because they violate a regulation against displays of non-postal business
material at any U.S. post office.

Wouldn't you love to know who the anti-troop customer is. You know, just to drop by and say a nice hello. You being a war-monger who just has to see pictures of people in uniforms and all.

Is Hillary Getting Take Out While Bill Is Eating In?

Who's making love to your old lady
While you were out making love

Hillary has been busy while Bill has been out.

It is pretty obvious who is being bought, but who is doing the buying and who are they buying for? Money is flowing through the hands of hedge funds, corporations, bag men and now busboys and trinket merchants, but from which source is the money flowing from. And why.

To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill;

"I cannot forecast to you the action of the Clintons. It is a riddle,
wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma; but perhaps there is a key. That key is
Clintonian personal interest."

Bill has his secret foundation and library which is receiving huge chunks of money from anonymous people and sources from around the globe in such sums as to question just how many books and trinkets his library can hold.. Hillary has busboys and junked up CEOs of hollow companies pumping 1000s of thousands of dollars, beyond the means of the donors, into the Clinton presidential campaign through the magic of double-blind bundling techniques that cannot be traced back to non-existent people without green cards nor jobs. Is America great or what?

What seems to be apparent is that now (and earlier over the years) a lot of the money is coming from the pacific rim, especially China. China, as in communist China. China, as in the China that wants to be the economic alpha dog of the world. For the moment we can put aside the insignificant fact that foreign governments and individuals aren't suppose to financially support and influence presidential candidates of the United States of America. That they are is obvious, but why?

What is communist China attempting to buy in a Clinton presidency? Are the Chinese the only ones attempting to buy in? Is Clinton the only candidate selling or are other candidates putting out offers as well? I smell a Putin in this pile of Hu Jintao .

As far as either Clinton is concerned, customers have established what they are, now they're just dickering over the price.

It's Chinatown, Jake.

Not Too Bright Harry Reid Tries to Turn Limbaugh Slap Down

Harry Reid is dumber than I thought.

"Never did we think that this letter would bring money of this nature. And,
for the cause, Madam President, it is extremely good. Now, everyone knows that
Rush Limbaugh and I don't agree on everything in life and maybe that is kind of
an understatement. But without qualification, Mark May [sic] -- the owner of the
network that has Rush Limbaugh -- and Rush Limbaugh should know that this letter that they're auctioning is going to be something that raises money for a
worthwhile cause."

Nice try Harry. Rush handed you your rear end. You're an idiot.

Reality Based Pelosi Forced To Face Reality

After being defeated constantly in her quest to create her legacy as a culture changer, Nancy Pelosi runs face first into a wall of reality that leaves an ugly mark and look on her face.

Pelosi Makes Political Misstep in Reversal on Armenian Genocide

The two meetings House Speaker Nancy Pelosi attended before a vote on a resolution labeling the massacre of Armenians in Ottoman Turkey a genocide foreshadowed the biggest political misstep of her speakership.

In the hours before a House panel approved the resolution Oct. 10, Pelosi was told in a tense meeting with Turkey's ambassador that the vote would endanger his country's alliance with the U.S. She had a warmer session with an Armenian cleric and representatives of Armenian-Americans, who have a large presence in her home state of California. In both, she made clear she intended to bring the resolution to a full House vote.

Since then, Pelosi, 67, has been in retreat. Her vow to bring the
measure to a vote outraged Turkey, which recalled its ambassador and threatened to cut off the use of its military bases to resupply U.S. troops in Iraq. On Oct. 17, Pelosi said it ``remains to be seen'' whether the vote would occur
after more than a dozen lawmakers pulled their names from the measure and some Democrats asked her to drop it.

Overall the article totally misses the target. This bill was not brought up as it has been for years which was to show concern to the large Armenian population in California. This bill was brought up to embarrass President Bush, drive a wedge between the US and an important ally in the War on Terror and Iraq and the bill was brought up as another tawdry attempt to force American troops out of Iraq out by Pelosi and her allies by a back door bill because Congress and the American people do not agree with the cut-and-run crowd now in charge of the federal kindergarten.

My favorite line from the article;

The turnaround is the first major failure for Pelosi, who has successfully
muscled through the agenda she set out when she became leader of the Democratic majority in January.

Somebody is smoking crack at Bloomberg. They may have gotten it from the Speaker's office.

Will Hillary's Dirty Fundraising Sink Her Campaign?

An unlikely treasure-trove of donors for Clinton

Something remarkable happened at 44 Henry St., a grimy Chinatown
tenement with peeling walls. It also happened nearby at a dimly lighted
apartment building with trash bins clustered by the front door.And again not too
far away, at 88 E. Broadway beneath the Manhattan bridge, where vendors chatter in Mandarin and Fujianese as they hawk rubber sandals and bargain-basement clothes.

All three locations, along with scores of others scattered throughout
some of the poorest Chinese neighborhoods in Queens, Brooklyn and the Bronx,
have been swept by an extraordinary impulse to shower money on one particular
presidential candidate -- Democratic front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton.

What is it with this crowd? Remember when aLgore got donations from monks sworn to poverty? Now big bucks busboys are hot on the heels of soft Hsu donations from orientals living shoulder to shoulder in empty houses on the west coast.

Must be a Mandarin money mandate for mama Clinton. It could also be their Boxer rebellion. Containable, but ugly.

Pete Stark - Another Democrat Liar/Loser

Pete Stark

“You don’t have money to fund the war or children. But you’re going to spend
it to blow up innocent people if we can get enough kids to grow old enough for
you to send to Iraq to get their heads blown off for the President's
amusement.”

Pete has a history. It is a history littered with sexism, racism, public vulgarity, bully behavior and sheer stupidity.

From Sept, 2005

The House yesterday passed a resolution commemorating the fourth
anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. It extended sympathy to the victims and
survivors; honored the military, first responders, and others who helped;
thanked foreign leaders for their support; declared that America is not waging
war "on any people or any faith"; reaffirmed a commitment to the global war on
terrorism; and vowed "never [to] forget the sacrifices made" on 9/11 or to "bow
to terrorist demands."

Quite a reasonable resolution. The House vote for the resolution was 402-6, but there were six losers who couldn't bring themselves to agree.

Here are the six far-left Democrats who voted "no":

John Conyers (Mich.)
Barbara Lee (Calif.)
Jim McDermott (Wash.)
Cynthia McKinney (Ga.)
Pete Stark (Calif.)
Lynn Woolsey (Calif.)

What a group. Six moonbats looking for a belfry.

The San Francisco Chronicle editorialized, "Only a politician who assumes he
has a job for life could behave so badly on a semi-regular basis by spewing
personalized invective that might get him punched in certain East Bay taverns …
Surely there must be someone along the shoreline between Alameda and Fremont who could represent the good citizens of the district with class and dignity. It's
not the case now."

Fortney Hillman "Pete" Stark, Jr. is a sick man. As such he can't really be called a disgrace to his country because he's not right in the head.

I'd still kick his butt if he tried his crap on me.

Harry Reid & The 40 Losers

Democrats Align With Murderers, Losers & Dictators Of The World

Who are Reid and Pelosi aligning themselves with to force the withdrawal of our troops from Iraq? We know they have sided with losers like Chuck Hagel, Chuck Schumer, Henry Waxman, John Murtha, Teddy Kennedy, Barack Obama, Russ Feingold, Hillary Clinton and others in congress, but who else are they aligned with?

Those who want us to withdraw from Iraq just like their Democrat breathern.

A short list:
Jacques Chirac – Spoiled French cheesecake
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad – Iranian dictator
Muqtada al-Sadr – Terrorist cleric
Bashar Al-Assad – Syrian dictator
Hugo Chavez – Venezuelan dictator
Kim Jong-il - North Korean dictator
Vladimer Putin – Short communist wannabe
Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero – Spanish socialist prime minister
Osama bin Laden – Millionaire murderer of the 9/11 attacks

Way to go guys. I guess that whole Ho Chi Minh and Pol Pot thing just wasn't enough for your murdering hearts. You have a helluva reprise going for yourselves.

Crosby & Nash Lied Through Vietnam

and now they think they can lie their way through the War on Terror.

David Crosby and Graham Nash were and are adequate song writers. Their early work respectively with the Byrds and the Hollies, in my opinion was their best work. Nash's "Our House" written for CSN&Y is still capable of simultaneously giving me a headache and nausea within the first three notes.

Chris Matthews Riffs With Anti-war Rockers Crosby and Nash
Chris Matthews joined anti-war rockers David Crosby and Graham Nash as they pined for the good old days of Vietnam war era campus activism and hoped it would rise up again to oppose the "shameless liars" in the Bush administration. Invited on Monday night's "Hardball" to promote their appearance at a peace concert at the National Cathedral, Crosby and Nash riffed with the "Hardball" host about everything from the trashing of the Dixie Chicks and Bill Maher to how Big Oil has made "obsence" profits off the Iraq war.
...
Crosby: "Well they're being fed a lot of infor-, of conflicting
information. You know, on the one hand you've got a young kid who is patriotic,
who loves his country, believes in it and he's being told, 'Yeah this is the
truth and we've gotta go in there to protect your mother and your
sister.'"

Matthews: "Yeah."

Crosby: "And he goes over and he finds out the job is killing
somebody else's mother and sister."

Matthews: "Yeah."

Crosby: "And he gets disillusioned and he comes back and it's, it's
a hellish situation. And, and we can't be wasting some of the best young people
we have sending them over there to be killed and then, killing hundreds of
thousands of Iraqis at the same time." (emphasis mine)

What a crock of horse crap. There is a difference this time though. People aren't buying their lies. In fact, this time around people are laughing at them when they utter this crap. Watching two old farts make fools of themselves is funny indeed. Their lies become parody and their feigned sincerity becomes comedy.

True to form for its current neuvo riche persona the National Cathedral, aka the Episcopal Cathedral Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, is lending its facilities for this round of lies which doesn't give the expected boost to make Crosby and Nash's message soar, but does aid in lessening and lowering the respect and the "religious" message of the Cathedral.

There's no fool like an old fool. True every time.

MLK's Mind Content Goal Gone Awry

McClatchy Newspapers Will Report The Dark Side Of Heaven

As violence falls in Iraq, cemetery workers feel the pinch

Even with less violence, many of those buried here are victims of the
war, and the tragedy of each loss offers a counterpoint to workers' worries
about money.

On a recent day, after the ritual washing, four male relatives
carried a coffin containing the scorched and torn body of Mohammed Hazim , 33.
Three women trailed, weeping. Hazim, a member of the radical Mahdi Army
militia, had been killed in a U.S. attack in Diyala province, his brother, Ali,
said.

"Death to infidel America and the agent Iraqi government," the
family chanted again and again.

At the shrine, security guards stopped the procession to check the coffin for explosives before allowing the men to take it inside. Later, at the grave, the men cried and the three women fell to their knees shrieking and flinging fistfuls of sand into their hair, a gesture of extreme grief.

Yeah, well I'm sure McClatchy will report on the negative impact on the diarrhea doctors of Chitwan when the epidemic wanes. Terrible thing when death and disease doesn't support one's lifestyle. Or circulation goals.

Tom Waite must have written opinion pieces for MCClatchy early in his career:

Well, the ambulance drivers, they don't give a shit,

They just want to get off work, and

The short stop and the victim are already gone berserk

And the shroud-tailor measures him for a deep-six holiday,

The stiff is froze, the case is closed on the one that got away
