Boehner can collect $1 million in legal fees, judge says
A federal judge says House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, can collect more than $1 million in his lawsuit against Democratic Rep. Jim McDermott of Washington state.
The decision was issued in a decade-long dispute over an illegally taped telephone call. In the 1996 call, Republican leaders discussed an ethics case against then-House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga. A Florida couple recorded the cell phone call on a radio scanner and McDermott leaked the tape to two newspapers.
Boehner sued and a federal court found that McDermott had no right to release the calls. The Supreme Court decided in December not to revisit the case.
McDermott called the court fight with Boehner “a long and costly battle,” but said the million-dollar judgment was “a small price to pay in defense of so fundamental a principle, and freedom, as the First Amendment.”
Because of the protracted legal challenge, “the First Amendment is stronger today, and shielded by new case law that will buttress its capacity to protect the publication of truthful information on matters of public importance long into the future,” McDermott said in a statement Tuesday. “ Knowing this, I am proud of my role in defense of the First Amendment.”
Yes, McDermott must be proud in his role as defender of the First Amendment after he so rigorously defended his boss, Saddam's, right to say he was going to wage the Mother of All Battles against the evil United States of America. Or maybe he was just defending his right to speak as a useful idiot of Saddam.
“The President of the United States will lie to the American people in order to get us into this war.”
McDermott has done so much damage to this country it is hard to calculate. It is easy to calculate how much money McDermott will personally pay Congressman John Boehner because the Left's and McDermott's useful idiots will foot the bill.

John McCain For President
It isn't just stop Hillary or Obama anymore, but there is that.

THE IMPACT OF VIRAL MEDIA: An email from a former student of mine in the UK:
It has been a long time since I e-mailed you.Anyway, my wife and I have been living in the UK since early 2000 and have been experiencing the US political scene from a distance since then. I watched the anti-Obama videos you linked today with some interest. I have always been a conservative so I would not vote for the Democractic nominee in any event, but I haven't been an enthusiastic McCain guy. He seemed too much like Bob Dole the Sequel to me. He came to London and I could have met him, but I couldn't be bothered at the time even though I deeply respect the sacrifices he made during his captivity.
Now I have watched Obama's commercial to "slow down" the development of weapon's programmes and more importantly saw the "Man in the Arena" ad linked on YouTube. I have to say that now I am a convert. I am not like the fake Republicans that the NY Times seems to find that support whatever liberal agenda the Times is pushing at the moment. There is a lot I would not like about a McCain Presidency. On the other hand, I love my country and, notwithstanding what Mickey Kaus thinks about having a president with dark skin somehow deterring a potential terrorist, it does us no good if Obama throws away our real defences. I can never see Obama saying or even thinking that "Do not flinch. Stand Up. We're Americans and we will never surrender. They will." That is the most important issue for me. It must trump all others.
I must say that now I will have to donate to the McCain campaign. I was going to sit this election out (except for voting), but now I see I need to do everything I can to help. I am a father. How could I not do as much as I can to make the world safe for my little girl? Anything less is negligent.
That one commercial made me a reluctant convert to the McCain campaign.
McCain has to hope that this will happen a lot between now and November.

Health Nazis Ally With Communists To Ban Butts
Beijing to ban smoking ahead of Olympics: official media
In addition to cleansing the air China's new anti-flooding program will consist of female children with 2 or more vowels in their first name to use their fingers to plug holes in the country's dikes on alternate days during the rain season. Officials have already announced the complete success of both programs.

How can Robert win without your ballot expertise Jimmah? Oh, and while you're there the roof and foundation of Democracy need repair.

I mean, don't you and Andy Young want Mugabe's reign of terror to continue to further freedom and justice by murdering anybody that dares disagree with him? Get on board Jimmah, Bobby Mugabe needs you!

"Earth Hour" goes globally silly
Speaking of bogus science such as aLgORE's global warming, now his minions of those that care more than you and are smarter than thee have brought us;
"Earth Hour" goes global
"It is not just about turning off the lights, it is about raising awareness," San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom said. "Energy efficiency is low-hanging fruit. Energy efficiency is the easiest thing we can do" to reduce global warming.
I think the truest thing said during the entire event is that Gavin seems to like the dark better while promoters like the limelight. What a crock.

Bogus Science
I grew up in a family wedded to the sciences so this headline is sad;
Mobile phones 'more dangerous than smoking'
They may be right, but who knows and fewer are caring every day because "scientific" activists have been lying to us for decades. To make a name or make a fortune "scientists" have released information that is premature, incomplete or an outright lie concerning Alar, DDT, global warming, secondhand smoke, etc., and now cell phones.
Would I like to believe them, yes. Will I, no because science has been sullied by "scientists" and an out of control and overweight government attempting to justify the billions of dollars they steal from us each year by backing wild claims with little or no factual support.
Science and the NIH, for example, have become part of the health problem.

Only 34% Of West Virginia Have Real Jobs
Well, if 50% of the state population works for some form of government and 1 in 6 are on food stamps that means approximately 34% have jobs that are worth having. Ex-Kleagle pay appears to be pretty good though. Kinda like a US Senator might have if one can quote Cato in response to any question and wear a toga with headgear.

Murdering Murtha Wrong Again
Via Gateway Pundit who has been on this in depth
ALL CHARGES DROPPED Against Haditha Marine LCpl. Tatum
Marine LCpl. Tatum has had all charges dropped for his actions in Haditha, but I am sure Jack Murtha is at a fund raiser or is face down in a pork trough and hasn't heard. Otherwise he would publicly apologize right after getting off the phone from apologizing personally to each of the Marines. Just remember, he loves the troops just like Harry and Nancy do which is why Murtha publicly convicted them before they were tried.
None of the Marines will be charged with "cold blooded murder." Can Murtha be charged with character murder? How will Murtha help these men get their lives back? To paraphrase Secretary of Labor Ray Donovan, "What office do they go to get their reputation back?"
Marines killed Iraqis ‘in cold blood’
"there was no firefight, there was no IED (improvised explosive device) that killed these innocent people. Our troops overreacted because of the pressure on them, and they killed innocent civilians in cold blood."
Why do sad old loads like this keep getting reelected? Anyone in Pennsylvania know?

Twenty-Somethings Arming The World All By Themselves! Really.
AEY is a great company except for its bad products, having a twenty-something masseur for a VP, a psycho twenty-something President and probably a connection to the Eastern European and Russian mafias. Other than that, well, it's a great company.
It's listed with the Defense Procurement agency as being in Miami Beach and it shares its telephone number with another company by the same name that lists its business as the construction of buildings. Phone: 305-672-2479.

Barack Obama Missed Jeremiah Once Again
via Gateway Pundit from
Obama's Pastor Wright: "Italians Look Down Their Garlic Noses... Jesus Got Public Lynching Italian Style"
Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., pastor emeritus of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago where Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) has been a member for two decades, slurred Italians in a piece published in the most recent issue of Trumpet Newsmagazine."
(Jesus') enemies had their opinion about Him," Wright wrote in a eulogy of the late scholar Asa Hilliard in the November/December 2007 issue. "The Italians for the most part looked down their garlic noses at the Galileans."
Wright continued, "From the circumstances surrounding Jesus' birth (in a barn in a township that was under the Apartheid Roman government that said his daddy had to be in), up to and including the circumstances surrounding Jesus' death on a cross, a Roman cross, public lynching Italian style. ..."
He refused to be defined by others and Dr. Asa Hilliard also refused to be defined by others. The government runs everything from the White House to the schoolhouse, from the Capitol to the Klan, white supremacy is clearly in charge, but Asa, like Jesus, refused to be defined by an oppressive government because Asa got his identity from an Omnipotent God."
Garlic noses? Jeremiah, you pompous illiterate old fool, just stop running your mouth. Everything you see wrong in the world was caused by someone else and that someone was never colored except those "uncle toms" that don't agree with your crap. Now that we've learned of your hate we're told that most African -American Churches spew the same hatred of America and whites. If that's true, then Houston, we've got a problem.
Jeremiah, Barack, Michelle and Otis, Jr - Everything does NOT come down to slavery. That was then and this is now. Jesus doesn't believe in afro-centrism anymore than He's going make sure the Irish are in heaven a hour before the Devil knows they're dead, plus attempting to tie apartheid to the Bible ain't gonna make St Peter mucho happy.
Garlic noses? My Italian wife says you're a hypocritical racist and she'd be right Wright, you pathetic excuse for a pastor for the Lord.
20 years Barack? The marriage, the house, the babies? You must privately believe this man which makes you a public liar and racist because no one is so stupid to be around a fool like this and not know he is a fool. Even a hustler knows another hustler without being told.

More Gore Bore?
Mark Tomasik: Don't discount Gore-led ticket
When a Clinton or Obama just won't do, run Al run. If Al can expel enough hot air it could aid his global warming cause.
