Voinovich, Immigration Tin Ear

Sen. Voinovich has to have heard of the great distaste Ohio has for the amnesty shamnesty bill that is being foisted on Congress with no debate and being foisted on the people as a real immigration solution.

Al Gore. Genius.

Gore's Grades Belie Image of Studiousness

His School Transcripts Are a Lot Like Bush's Gore arrived at Harvard with an impressive 1355 SAT score, 625 verbal and 730 math, compared with Bush's 1206 total from 566 verbal and 640 math. In his sophomore year at Harvard, Gore's grades were lower than any semester recorded on Bush's transcript from Yale.
That was the year Gore's classmates remember him spending a notable
amount of time in the Dunster House basement lounge shooting pool, watching
television, eating hamburgers and occasionally smoking marijuana. His grades
temporarily reflected his mildly experimental mood, and alarmed his parents. He
received one D, one C-minus, two C's, two C-pluses and one B-minus, an effort
that placed him in the lower fifth of the class for the second year in a row.

For all of Gore's later fascination with science and technology, he
often struggled academically in those subjects. The political champion of the
natural world received that sophomore D in Natural Sciences 6 (Man's Place in
Nature) and then got a C-plus in Natural Sciences 118 his senior year. The
self-proclaimed inventor of the Internet avoided all courses in mathematics and
logic throughout college, despite his outstanding score on the math portion of
the SAT. As was the case with many of his classmates, his high school math
grades had dropped from A's to C's as he advanced from trigonometry to calculus
in his senior year.

When John C. Davis, a retired teacher and assistant headmaster at St.
Albans, was recently shown his illustrious former pupil's college board
achievement test scores, he inspected them closely with a magnifier and shook
his head, chuckling quietly at the science results.

"Four eighty-eight! Terrible" Davis declared upon inspecting the future
vice president's 488 score (out of a possible 800) in physics.

"Hmmmm. Chemistry. Five-nineteen. He didn't do too well in
chemistry."

Now I understand the brilliance behind his global warming expertise.

This brilliance allows Al to blame scientists for our "climate crisis".

Too little, too late: Gore blames scientists for climate crisis

In an extraordinary outburst aimed at America's failure to tackle
global warming, Al Gore says that if scientific agreement on the climate crisis
had been reached sooner it would have been easier to "galvanise the public and
persuade Congress to act".

The failed presidential candidate claims that the stronger
scientific consensus he knew was about to emerge meant "we in the US were about to shift into high gear in addressing the climate crisis". Mr Gore argues that
if he had made it to the White House, he would have been able to use the office
as a "bully pulpit" to achieve change.

"The nature and severity of the climate crisis had seemed painfully
obvious to me for quite a long time," claims Mr Gore, writing in a new foreword
to a revised edition of his book, Earth in the Balance, being published this
week.

In a swipe at the scientific community, he says: "I wish that we
could have had in the 1990s the deafening scientific consensus that has emerged
in more recent years."

That "deafening scientific consensus" may not be quite yet a din.

LARRY KING LANDS PARIS HILTON INTERVIEW

Ebert is a Dilbert, At Best

A Mighty Heart
Mariane Pearl reminds us in her book, and the movie reminds us, too,
that some 230 other journalists had lost their lives at the time of Pearl's
kidnapping, most of them during the conflict in Iraq. That means they
proportionately had a higher death rate than combat soldiers. That's partly
because they are ill-prepared for the risks they take and partly because they're
targets. The Americans who complain about "negative" news are the ideological cousins of those who shoot at CNN crews. The news is the news, good or bad, and those who resent being informed of it are pitiful. More Americans are well-informed about current sports and auto-racing statistics, I sometimes think, than anything else. (emp mine)

Did he say that, because I think the media's coverage of Iraq is biased by their liberal politics, hatred of Bush and deep distaste of the military, I am as bad a a terrorist? BBBut that would mean he thinks terrorists are? What? He doesn't. He just says that I am an ideological cousin.

I guessing here that he thinks I am bad if I "complain" about the media's "negative" news, so that must mean that Ebert thinks that terrorists are bad as well.

Sigh, I guess it is a little step for the media.

Ripper: Surrender or Die

Scary Harry Reid is ususally wrong every time he opens his mouth, but on the surge being lost before it began is too Kerryesque even for Reid. Is that possible?

I wonder how far lower he can sink.

Michael Yon is a great resource. The military ought to realize that.

Redeploy to The Hague

Note to minion:
How are you today? I hope well. I am still finishing up a project and you know how things go with that. They think if they pay me that they should get something in return, like me working and producing something. After all, I am not Frankie Coleman.

To the point. Work, blog, work, blog, which will it be. Work wins. I like eating, so right now I have to be happy just reading other blogs. That's cool because I am being linked to some good ones.

The troops should support congress by sending them home

They may not know anything about war or the military (or much else for that
matter), but give congress credit. They are second to none when it comes to
spouting nonsensical gibberish. For those on the anti-war left, their gibberish
might be an exception to this rule, only because venomous malicious gibberish is
more pernicious than uninformed insincere pandering gibberish. The latest bout
of this idiocy comes in the form of those who want to support the troops by
bringing them home.

Scared to death of repeating the Vietnam mistake of being seen as anti-military, which they are, they have decided to support the troops without actually listening to what the troops say is support.

Imagine if parents today said “Our children are away at college. I worry for their safety. Let’s have them drop out of school so they can be safe at home.”

"uninformed insincere pandering gibberish". That pretty much wraps it up.

Thanks minion. Without you I'd be lonlier than Dennis Paul.

Haditha Marines Support Site

Bob of Bob's Blog linked to a post I did on the Haditha Marines and in his comments section listed a very important fact that I did not know. A support site for the wrongly accused Marines which includes a way to help them financially.

http://www.marinedefensefund.com/

Maybe someone will forward this site to Mugger Murtha. I am sure he will want to help all he can.

Typical Ron Paul Supporter

If you don't vote Ron Paul then f**k you. End.

P.S. Don't try to debate me on this. Don't leave comments supporting
someone else. I'll delete them. It's my blog, I'll do what I want. If you
want to support someone else make your own blog.

Randy lists himself as an artist and also as an (insert vulgarities). On the first, I doubt it, but on the others, I'll just have to take his word.

Many of the sites supporting Ron Paul sound just like kOs kiddies, DUers and the Huffington Post. Not a good way to generate support.

The other posts I have done on Paul have generated a lot of hatemail. Geez, don't they have little black helicopters and grassy knolls to chase.

UPDATE: A Ron Paul supporter posted a comment;

You make little childish comments like black helicopters etc etc, and
then wonder why you get hatemail?

If you want to google Paul and grassy knoll, go ahead. I will repeat myself and say that Ron Paul has had some good ideas, but his obsession with conspiracies, among other ideas, render him a political eunuch.

I have been around Ron Paul and he has a sense of humor. Maybe he can rent some to his supporters, but have gold for the rental.

Toy Soldiers Disarmed in California

Cole McNamara and Austin Nakata, 11-year-old buddies who share an interest in all things military, said they put the toys on their hats to support American troops in Iraq.

“I was kind of mad because they just went over and clipped them off and didn’t say anything about it,” Austin said.

I used to work for a cigarette manufacturer in their government relations department. My then 5 year old daughter told her class what I did on the school's "career day" that was "to better acquaint students with each other". The teacher, a virulent anti tobacco activist, informed the class and my daughter that I was a mass murderer. My daughter ran home in tears. Soon after the teacher left the superintendent's office in tears. And fired.

Susan Liberati, an assistant superintendent, said she believes “the
principal has interpreted district policy accurately, and we support her in
that.”

I don't care if these people are stupid or patsys. I'd fire this whole lot. Period.
Susan Liberati, an assistant superintendent, said she believes “the principal has interpreted district policy accurately, and we support her in that.”

Clipping the ends of toy guns on toy soldiers. How incredibly juvenile. What an insult to their aspirations.

The Decline of Conservatism - CAF

The modern liberal says:

Liberals Celebrate 'Decline of Conservatism'

...

Conservatism's problem is deeper than controversial speakers and
divisions within the movement, argued Rick Perlstein, a senior fellow at the
Campaign for America's Future (CAF), which sponsors Take Back
America.

"Conservatism will always fail," Perlstein said, adding that the
ideology's problems stem from its main tenet of smaller government.

"People who confess their contempt for government cannot be trusted to
govern," he said. "When you start breaking down the institutions of government
and trifling with them, then you make it harder to govern efficiently.

"Perlstein said conservatism "is a movement about nothing, and I don't
think it can succeed, and I implore the American people to turn their backs on
it."

...

The Founding Fathers might not agree with Rick Perlstein and CAF:

"Government is not reason; it is not eloquence. It is force. And force, like
fire, is a dangerous servant and a fearful master." - George Washington

Does the government fear us? Or do we fear the government? When the
people fear the government, tyranny has found victory. The federal government is
our servant, not our master! -Thomas Jefferson

The truth is that all men having power ought to be mistrusted. - James Madison

"There is no nation on earth powerful enough to accomplish our
overthrow. Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from anothe quarter.
From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from
their carelessness and negligence. I must confess that I do apprehend some
danger. I fear that they may place too implicit a confidence in their public
servants and fail properly to scrutinize their conduct; that in this way they
may be made the dupes of designing men and become the instruments of their own undoing." - Daniel Webster

They are going to "take back America" with big government and by ignoring what our founders wrote?

Contempt for government? I have nothing but contempt for what the people of CAF are planning for our government.

HT Yeah, right, whatever

Gotham's Asexual Arranged Political Marriages and Bloomberg

Bloomberg - Dem, Repub, Ind. Your choice, but just a limo lib.
Esther Fuchs - Liberal. A real piece of work.
Pataki - "I want to be Christie Whitman".
Rockefeller(s) - You decide which liberal to read about.
D'Amato - Conservative who went bad. And left.
Cuomo - Need I say anything?
Dinkins - "Dinkins Democrat" still means large govt corruption. Personified.
Giuliani - Chief political ally of Liberal party boss Ray Harding.
Ray Harding - Liberal party boss in love with Rudy.
Pierre Rinfret - Repub. Oops on that diploma.
Ralph Marino - Repub Senate Pres who spent and patronized to make Boss Tweed look small.

Google them. These are the people that took the Reagan Revolution and turned it into a liberal wreckin' revolution for New York State, New York City and New York's Republican Party. These are the people that took the hopes of NY voters and offered them political bankruptcy, moral bankruptcy and financial bankruptcy.

They arranged political marriages, union marriages and financial marriages, some who had actually once been thought conservative, to further their personal and political goals.

Look at that list again. They all at one time or another worked together, not by proximity, but by choice and shared goals.

And now Giuliani and Bloomberg want to be president. Bringing to America the deception, back-stabbing and a moral vacuum that made New York what it is today.

Possible slogan, "More wives, More ideologies, Just for you".

Mugger Murtha Still Hasn't Apologized To The Marines For His Haditha Lies

From This Ain't Hell, I was pointed to a new site (for me), Chickenhawk Express who has this really great post:

Some Inconvenient Facts About the Haditha Incident - UPDATED

It started in November 2005. It became a political witch-hunt after
Time’s Tim McGirk plastered the media with half-truths, suspect statements from
“eyewitnesses” and a great deal of hearsay. It exploded into an anti-war talking
point once John Murtha called it “cold blooded murder” and compared it to My
Lai. The media and the anti-war crowd were salivating at the thought of US
Marines convicted of murder. It did not occur to them that the Marines deserved
the benefit of the doubt – you know, innocent until proven guilty....

Read the whole thing. The UPDATES are phenomenal.

Episcopal

One of my interested minion asked about my Episcopal Church posts and my status.

I no longer consider myself an Episcopal and I now attend St Edwards the Confessor with my wife who is Catholic. In an interesting 360, my father was raised Roman Catholic, but changed to my mother's church which was Episcopal. I found this out from his mother after my father passed away.

My leaving had everything to do with the destruction of a church I loved, was baptized in, confirmed into and humbly served as an acolyte.

Now you can sleep better, eh?

Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland Hangs With The Hamas Boys

An excellent catch by Bizzy Blog

Ted Strickland’s CAIR Appearance, and Ohio’s Snoozing Press

Not newsworthy? Surely you jest. It’s not every day that the sitting
governor of one of the country’s larger states breaks bread with an organization
that has been named an unindicted co-conspirator in an alleged criminal conspiracy to support the Palestinian Arab terrorist group Hamas.

The Dispatch published one LtE of mine on this, posted an electronic LtE of another, but shut me down after that even though CAIRing people kept lying about what I and others pointed out.

Can't call Wolfe on this one, but you can write Mike Curtin, President, Associate Publisher at the dispatch at mcurtin@dispatch.com
