Ohio, Strykers And Pork Beating Victory In Iraq
The Stryker Mobile Gun System (MGS) vehicles, which are partially built in Lima
, Ohio, are loved by the troops using them. Yes, there are improvements to be made, but boots-on-the-ground like them and say they are very effective which is why those in Washington, DC are pumping out reports of failure as fast as their commandeered counterfeit machines can pump them out. Their pork is more important than MGS "pork" that wins battles and saves soldiers lives.
Stryker Crews in Iraq Rally to Defend Their Rides: Field Report
The insurgents behave differently when an armored vehicle is present. “It establishes fear, if you will, in those who would try to do us or our fellow soldiers harm,” Holbrook says. “The enemy is a lot less likely to attack if we are out there.”

Why help our soldiers help 50+million people coming out of the heart of darkness to live in peace and freedom when you can build entire bureaucracies to "help" those that refuse to help themselves as they have their hands out for more government goodies.

Obama Ain't Spitzer, But There's A Pony Under This Pile Of Horse Poop
Ferraro's Remarks About Obama Decried
"If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept."
Ferraro appeared on ABC this morning to do her indignant mommy act stating that she is "hurt, hurt, hurt" by this and adding, to admonish those that doubt her status, that her comments were taken out of context. The nation, collectively, is to take a time out and face the corner. Nanna Geri will tell us when time is up.
I found it interesting that following our collective punishment all the networks had scrambled to find professional whores to explain Spitzer's actions and to add that basically all men, especially those in power, act like this.
One segment was an ad for a Party while the second was an ad for a party.

AG Spitzer Got Insider Info?
SPITZER HAS USED HOOKERS FOR 6 YEARS: SOURCES
Gov. Eliot Spitzer has been soliciting high-priced hookers for at least six years and possibly for more than a decade, sources tell The Post.
The revelation yesterday that the crusading governor was in fact "Client 9" named in a federal prostitution indictment did not shock insiders in the city's sex industry.
Sources tell The Post that Spitzer had frequented high-priced hookers as far back as 2002 and possibly earlier.
...
Spitzer, who as attorney general lead investigations into prostitution, was among an elite group of powerbrokers and high-powered attorneys that regularly paid for dates at top escort agencies, sources said.
Now we know why the Spitzer pursued those investigations so hard. Talk about a hands-on investigation.

Darwin Didn't Make The Little Fiddies
I love the annual Darwin Awards. They prove that man is much too stupid to have arrived here on his own.
Into the Abyss
An enterprising lumberman jacked up the rear end of his pickup, and swapped one of the rear tires with a tire rim. He attached one end of a rope to the rim, and the other end to a large felled tree. He put the pickup into gear, apparently expecting the rim to act as a makeshift rope crank that would pull the tree up the steep embankment, saving him lots of sweat.
A great idea? Not if you're reading it here! You see, the tree vastly outweighed the truck. The man was standing with one foot on the ground and the other foot on the accelerator. When he gunned the engine, the tree acted like an anchor, and the truck yanked itself backwards. The open door rammed into him, and he was swept over the embankment along with the pickup.

When the dust settled, our lumberman had entered the great beyond. But his escapade served as a warning for others. The next lumberman cut up the tree where it lay, and carried it off.

Messianic Messiah Marxist Mess
COB discusses Che cult status for Obama.
The Messiah’s Message is Dangerous
COB and his commenters make some excellent points. Being positive, at least Obama doesn't put a cocked pistol to the heads of "nonbelievers." Yet.

Jack Johnson, Eliot Spitzer & The Mann Act
UPDATE: Bizzy Blog has a far better round up than I. I'd go there.
No wonder Democrats are against FISA and wiretaps in general.
Spitzer Is Linked to Prostitution Ring
Mr. Spitzer gained national attention when he served as attorney general with his relentless pursuit of Wall Street wrongdoing. As attorney general, he also had prosecuted at least two prostitution rings as head of the state’s organized crime task force.
In one such case in 2004, Mr. Spitzer spoke with revulsion and anger after announcing the arrest of 16 people for operating a high-end prostitution ring out of Staten Island.
“”This was a sophisticated and lucrative operation with a multitiered management structure,” Mr. Spitzer said at the time. ”It was, however, nothing more than a prostitution ring.”
Of course, Jack Johnson didn't have to worry about wiretaps.

Greenwald's Sock Puppet Writes Hypocritical Bio Of Its Idol
But which sock puppet wrote this time?From Publishers Weekly
With this provocative book, Greenwald, a former constitutional lawyer and author of A Tragic Legacy and How Would a Patriot Act, purports to expose the rank myth-making and exploitation of cultural, gender and psychological themes by the Republican Party. The author begins his attack by targeting John Wayne, whom he sees as a template for right-wing notions of American courage and conservative manliness. Wayne's avoidance of military service and his string of divorces, both at odds with his public image, are emblematic in this account of a fundamental hypocrisy implicit in conservative mythologies. Greenwald goes on to argue that prominent Republicans from Ronald Reagan to Mitt Romney display the same hypocrisy in their public ideologies and personal lives. Shouldering much of the blame are the press and the media, including Matt Drudge, Ann Coulter, Chris Matthews and even Maureen Dowd, all of whom propagate popular attitudes about virile Republicans and effeminate Democrats. Despite the antipathy the author feels for Coulter, his writing is much like hers. More a partisan screed than a reasoned argument meant to persuade undecided readers, this repetitive text frequently devolves into personal attacks and vast generalizations.
“Those who ignore what Greenwald has to say act at our collective peril.”—John W. Dean, former Nixon White House counsel and author of Conservatives Without Conscience
“There are few patriots on Capitol Hill. You can count them on your hand. . . . Glenn Greenwald, constitutional lawyer, is one such patriot.”—BuzzFlash.com
“One of the smartest and most important new voices to emerge in politics in years.” —Markos Moulitsas Zúniga, founder of Daily Kos and coauthor of Crashing the Gate: Netroots, Grassroots, and the Rise of People-Powered Politics
"Glenn Greenwald has done it again. He’s about to release another great book. . . . From the myth that John Wayne was a great American hero (he was a WWII draft dodger), to how the media perpetuates false images of right-wingers (so much for the “liberal media”) . . . to the falsehood that Republicans bring us smaller government, Glenn lays it out beautifully." —Alan Colmes
"The peerless Glenn Greenwald."—Josh Marshall
"One of the best political commentators out there . . .Unlike most other bloggers, Greenwald practices journalism . . . Few others are better than Greenwald at sussing out the accidental propaganda inflicted on us by the mainstream press" —The Village Voice
"Perhaps the most influential civil-liberties writer on the Web" —The American Prospect
"Blogosphere superstar" —Mother Jones
"Among the most intelligent and widely read practitioners of blogging" —GQ
The Greenwalds are sanctimonious prigs and purveyors of spin and half-truths. In my opinion, the Glenns are liars. When they are called a Marshall peerless, a Mother Jones superstar and a Colmes beautiful layer how do they continue to insist against all hope that they are conservative? The Greenwalds are putzes without any hard facts.

Veiled Ignorance Can Still Be Seen Obama
Violations of 'Islamic teachings' take deadly toll on Iraqi women
Story Highlights
Crimes against women in Iraq's south have included killings and amputations
Police chief: "Two women were killed in front of their kids"
Not wearing headscarves, other violations of "Islamic teachings" bring crimes
Woman tells CNN "fear is always there," but "we don't know who to be afraid of"
And these are the pigs that Osbama wants to sit have a chat with and by simply adding in some reason, everybody will go home for the better with the problems solved.
McCain: Obama’s ‘meet, talk and hope approach’ is ‘dangerously naïve in international diplomacy.’ “Meet, talk, and hope may be a sound approach in a state legislature, but it is dangerously naive in international diplomacy where the oppressed look to America for hope and adversaries wish us ill.”
His lack of experience, naivité and complete ignorance of how the world works is scary. Who else thinks that a group of guys who maim, mutilate, amputate and murder over headscarves are willing to have a nice chat and change their ways?

It's 3 AM, Where Is Hillary's Integrity?
Wow, Democrats have a quandry. Do they want an untested Socialist just because he is a black man with an opinionated wife and they both work for the Chicago Machine or do they want the other couple that is known to have real trouble with the truth, the law and each other?
Nobel winner: Hillary Clinton's 'silly' Irish peace claims
Hillary Clinton had no direct role in bringing peace to Northern Ireland and is a "wee bit silly" for exaggerating the part she played, according to Lord Trimble of Lisnagarvey, the Nobel Peace Prize winner and former First Minister of the province.
"I don’t know there was much she did apart from accompanying Bill [Clinton] going around," he said. Her recent statements about being deeply involved were merely "the sort of thing people put in their canvassing leaflets" during elections. "She visited when things were happening, saw what was going on, she can certainly say it was part of her experience. I don’t want to rain on the thing for her but being a cheerleader for something is slightly different from being a principal player."
Mrs Clinton has made Northern Ireland key to her claims of having extensive foreign policy experience, which helped her defeat Barack Obama in Ohio and Texas on Tuesday after she presented herself as being ready to tackle foreign policy crises at 3am.
"I helped to bring peace to Northern Ireland," she told CNN on Wednesday. But negotiators from the parties that helped broker the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 told The Daily Telegraph that her role was peripheral and that she played no part in the gruelling political talks over the years.

FUGLY By Half
Hecker had to make a herculean effort to design and produce so much discord and ugliness in one place.Slide56: I do not know if you are familiar with this very strange housing project. It was designed in the early 1970's by Architect Zvi Hecker in Ramot. This is a another "period piece" - a completely crazy project, not very pleasant to live in, but was the result of the aforementioned attitude of the Ministry of Housing which was condemned for the construction of ugly monotonous buildings. When in the 1970s, the Ministry of Housing felt that they had to give a free hand to architects, one architect who made good use of such freedom was Zvi Hecker who designed this.

Democrats Eating Their Own
Just like "republicans" are doing over John McCain, Democrats are doing over their choice for their nominee.
Just as Democrats are the proud owners of liberals and progressives, Republicans are made of moderates, conservatives, libertarians and now, arrogant political morons, but back to the Democrats for a moment.
More on the Osama for Obama tees
In this is a guideline on how to ensure those that you are more closely allied to lose elections.
To the "I will not vote for McCain" crowd I say, I hope you grow up soon or we will have Osama Obama or Hellion Hillary making decisions for us all. If you are too immature, please post your address so those of us who care will know where to send their thanks.

Vermont & New Hampshire Citizens Vie For 'Most Arrogantly Stupid' Mantle
At a time that 50 plus million people have been freed from terrorists and our soldiers are risking their lives to not only fight on our behalf, but also to drive a wedge between extremists and the true believers of Islam, here in America there are people that are so stupid they actually spew slogans of support for the troops, hate for their mission and to impeach their Commander-in-chief.
These people are laughable and only believed by like minded idiots and their allies, our enemies.
2 Vt. Towns Approve Bush-Cheney Indictment
Attorney Lacks Authority To Make Arrest On Symbolic Vote
Everybody knows the vote is more symbolic than substantive, but organizer Kurt Daims said the one thing that people can take from this is that it can be done.
Senate candidate calls for Bush’s arrest
Calling President George Bush "the worst president in the history of the United States," Independent U.S. Senate candidate Laurie Dobson stood on the steps of Town Hall Tuesday and called upon the town to indict Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney as war criminals.
Too bad there aren't laws that allow for the indictment the criminally stupid if only to protect them from themselves.

IT'S ALIVE!!!!
Hillary got her huge victory in Ohio where the pesky "new" voters didn't show in the numbers the Obamer needed. In my precinct which has a liberal arts college I saw fewer students voting and a decided lack of students of color. Not much "change" for out of work and out of luck blue collars whose necks are still red and they are keeping her alive.
Texas, well, Texas shoulda, coulda been, but wasn't, but a sqeaker for Hill and the John. The Huck did well, better than expected and the Area 51 voters coptered in for a big night for the doctor. The Huck dropped out while the doctor will labor on.
