Black is white. Left is right and wrong is right. No truth, no justice and no American way.
Top court eases rules for foreigners to try to stay in US
Will the bottom court ease rules for me when I want what is illegal? Uh-uh, I'm a poor dumb sap WASP who pays my bills on time. A five time loser.
Anyone know if Justice Kennedy is from Hyannis?

Buying Ink By The Thimble Or AP's Future
"Never argue with a man who buys his ink by the barrel …" - Ben Franklin
In the brave new world of AP's inner tubey type thing technology they have issued their view of the world and Al Gore's Internet:
“Cutting and pasting a lot of content into a blog is not what we want to see,” he said. “It is more consistent with the spirit of the Internet to link to content so people can read the whole thing in context.”
If anyone had any doubt that the MSM is living in the past still basking in the glory of deeds and fame, AP has shattered it. It's as if a first year law student, pledging to right perceived wrongs, has announced their world view to a class of admiring peers only to find that little Johnnie Gutenberg has gone and invented the printing press.
I hope that AP doesn't quote me and only provides a link. Otherwise I may have to sue the goobers.

Eugene Luther Vidal, Jr. Embarrasses US and Himself
What do you get when a preening has-been, who never was, except for an exceptionally tart tongue, speaks to that which he has no knowledge?
'100 years to recover from Bush'
It will take the United States a century to recover from the damage wreaked by President George. W Bush, US writer Gore Vidal said in an interview published on Saturday.
"The president behaved like a virtual criminal but we didn't have the courage to sack him for fear of violating the American constitution," Vidal told the El Mundo newspaper.
The author, a trenchant critic of the US-led invasion of Iraq, said it would take the United States "100 years to repair the damage" caused by Bush.
"We live in a dictatorship. We have a fascist government ...which controls the media," he said.
Vidal also said presidential aspirant Barack Obama was "intelligent" adding that it would be a "novelty" to have an "intelligent" person in the White House.
It will probably take a thousand years to recover from the damage of strikingly empty yet pretentious novels written and foisted on students worldwide by agenda driven authors and their agent professors. In a world of vapid artistry and shallow intellectualism, Eugene Luther Vidal, Jr, aka, Gore Vidal, remade himself into a queen's court jester and a renowned author and bon vivant when he is actually a lonely little boy with no meaning or direction in his miserably cheap life. Or he's just po'd that Capote out smarms him alive or dead.
A short (very) novella of Vidal in his own words:
Chapter 1. I can understand companionship. I can understand bought sex in the afternoon. I cannot understand the love affair.
Chapter 2. Never miss a chance to have sex or appear on television.
Chapter 3. Any American who is prepared to run for president should automatically, by definition, be disqualified from ever doing so.
Epilogue. I might be President by now if it weren't for this 'queer' thing.
And Europeans take this little, lonely, bitter old man seriously. Sad for both.

Congressmen Too Stupid To Be Republicans?
New Gang of 14 won’t back McCain
Republican members who have not endorsed or publicly backed McCain include Sens. Chuck Hagel (Neb.) and Jeff Sessions (Ala.) and Reps. Jones, Peterson, John Doolittle (Calif.), Randy Forbes (Va.), Wayne Gilchrest (Md.), Virgil Goode (Va.), Tim Murphy (Pa.), Ron Paul (Texas), Ted Poe (Texas), Todd Tiahrt (Kan.), Dave Weldon (Fla.) and Frank Wolf (Va.).
A short list of what is at stake:
1. The Supreme Court
2. 50+ million Afghani's & Iraqi's freedom at stake
3. Government and its bureaucracy out of control
4. The American family under attack
5. Syria, Iran, China, North Korea and the newUSSR Russia
6. An education system that isn't educating
7. The War on Terror
And the 14 listed above want to help Democrats and Liberals. The encroachment of liberalism in America has been sometimes slow, but persistent in its growth in our nation and government. People such as these have assisted it every step of the way. They are not obstinate, they are obtuse. They're just better dressed Kucinichs.

MSM & Christian Conservative Loss of Faith
I work with and support a great many Christian conservatives. As a group, Christian conservatives are reliably honest and full of conviction and passion. As I have said before, a political axiom is if a group promises 100 volunteers, plan for 100, but expect 10 or 20. With Christian conservatives it is exactly the opposite. If they promise 100 volunteers, expect 100, but plan for 120.
The media is busy planting seeds of discord by saying that Christian conservatives want McCain to lose so America will get what it deserves, thus waking America up. Articles such as the one below point this out:
“One experienced, credible activist in Christian politics who would not let his name be used told me that Huckabee, in personal conversation with him, had embraced the concept that an Obama presidency might be what the American people deserve,” wrote Washington Post columnist Robert Novak.
Novak is called "The Prince of Darkness" for good reason. He is just another reporter painting the darkness just before the dawn a deeper shade of dark. I do not believe Christian conservatives, as a group, are jumping for joy over McCain, but I know they are aware of family issues, economic issues, and the possible Supreme Court vacancies. I also know they are not whiners. Christian conservatives will work their tails off within the Party system to make substantive and positive changes.
I hope their leaders have not obtained "stuck on stupid" lessons. It is too critical and their ceding the White House to ultra liberals would be critically, nee criminally, stupid.

Obama Does Bush
Who will be Obama's veep? I'm not thinking Hillary. Nor little Johnnie Edwards. Please sweet Lord, no talk of Gore or Kerry again.
Barack needs depth. Hell, he needs width, height and everything else. Outside of a great impersonation of MLK and others, Barack needs a ton of help starting with basic math and history.
He' have the MSM wing of the Democrat Party helping him. That's a plus, even in today's world of MSM jokes. He'll have the unions bagging money and effort for him. They've got no other place to go since the Socialist Party thing didn't pan out.
Barack will also have the entire education union establishment working every class, every lecture and every coffee klatch to lecture on his behalf. They'll belittle Republicans on campus, naming them as Nazis, but only in the name of free speech and truth to justice which requires a liberal victory.
About Michelle, well one man's wife is another's ......
Well, there will always be pluses and minuses for the Obamaman, but why worry. He's got the lock on the nomination and the election which wipes out any problems.
He pulls a Bush and names one of his nominating committee members as veep.
Hidden millions. Weeping babies. Swooning couples. The MSM in perpetual orgasm running similarities, photos and outright lies 24/7.
Enter Caroline Kennedy. Instant Camelot. Instant success, but it won't be Wright. That's something. I guess.

Japanese Hillbillies In Space
Okay, the new part is 30 some feet long and narrow, but has a porch under construction, but not finished and a shed.
It now appears that along with hurricanes and divorce, there is another reason somebody's gonna lose a trailer, that being if NASA needs one.

Lebanon, Ohio
This house is now a museum and is quite interesting. More interesting is there is a house next door built by the sister of the owner the home in the photograph. It is a duplicate except it is painted white to appear bigger which it is because in a game of one-upmanship the sister's home (the same floor plan) has slightly larger rooms making the house slightly larger.
................................................................... This other house is just cool.

Walter Reed troops’ Amazon wish list
Shamelessly taken from This Ain't Hell for a great cause.
From Ace of Spades, we get the Amazon wish list of troops recovering at Walter Reed.
It’s cheap and easy so do it.
From Ace of Spades, we get the Amazon wish list of troops recovering at Walter Reed.
The movies and games are part of a larger effort by CAUSE, a group founded in
2003 by 4 West Point grads who had served together in Vietnam. The idea behind
CAUSE is that morale among active and recovering soldiers and Marines can be
dramatically improved through R&R activities. At Walter Reed, CAUSE has
facilities at the Mologne House, which is an outpatient dormitory for personnel
and their families. The CAUSE library carries DVDs, as well as video games and
equipment and is open to anyone at Walter Reed, free of charge.My goal this summer is to try and fulfill the wish list…
And please feel free to pass this link on for others to contribute and for those of you with blogs (you know who you are), please consider publicizing this effort.
It’s cheap and easy so do it.
Rebels Can't Attend Own Graduation
"We are very clear that the Confederate flag is a symbol of hatred, bigotry and racism," said Rick Kaufman, the Executive Director of Community Relations at Bloomington Kennedy High School.
Huh? It is?
First of all, it is NOT the Confederate flag. It IS the Confederate battle flag. It is the flag of an army and its soldiers, not the flag of a government.
Second, it is ignorance that keeps hatred, bigotry and racism not only alive, but institutionalized in our schools and our governance.
So, Rick, looks like the ball's in your court.

For The Sixth Time; Where is Jack Murtha's Apology To The Marines?
"There was no firefight. There was no IED that killed these innocent people. Our troops overreacted because of the pressure on them, and they killed innocent civilians in cold blood"(Murtha, May 19, 2006)
A court martial on Wednesday acquitted a US Marine for his role in the deaths of 24 civilians in Haditha in Iraq in 2005, the sixth man to be exonerated in the affair, a military official said. (June 5, 2008)
Murtha didn't just lie, he killed Marines in cold calculated politics.

Hillary Out? For Sure?
Unless Obama gets the deadly Little Rock Flu the Democrats have their chosen one.
Idle Rich To Arrest Bush, etal
Good news/Bad news here. These people live in a dream world where they are still running against George W. Bush and they valiantly slay dragons to save maidens donned in tie-dye and are adorned with flowers in their hair.On the other hand, their mommy is gonna be pissed when she finds out they are sneaking computer time without her there to chaperone.
Serious time outs will be had all around. And no snacks after nap time.

Richard C. Reid - Still A Moron, But A Imprisoned Moron
In my email this morning a rememberance...
Remember the guy who got on a plane with a bomb built into his shoe and tried to light it?
Did you know his trial is over?
Did you know he was sentenced?
Did you see/hear any of the judges comments on TV/Radio?
Didn't think so.
Everyone should hear what the judge had to say....
Ruling by Judge William Young, US District Court:
Prior to sentencing, the Judge asked the defendant if he had anything to say.
His response: After admitting his guilt to the court for the record, Reid also admitted his "Allegiance to Osama bin Laden, to Islam, and to the religion of Allah," defiantly stated "I think I will not apologize for my actions," and told the court "I am at war with your country."
Judge Young then delivered the statement quoted below:
January 30, 2003, United States vs. Reid. Judge Young: "Mr. Richard C. Reid, hearken now to the sentence the Court imposes upon you.On counts 1, 5 and 6 the Court sentences you to life in prison in the custody of the United States Attorney General. On counts 2, 3, 4 and 7, the Court sentences you to 20 years in prison on each count, the sentence on each count to run consecutive with the other.
That's 80 years. On count 8 the Court sentences you to the mandatory 30 years consecutive to the 80 years just imposed. The Court imposes upon you each of the eight counts a fine of $250,000 for the aggregate fine of $2 million. The Court accepts the government's recommendation with respect to restitution and orders restitution in the amount of $298.17 to Andre Bousquet and $5,784 to American Airlines. The Court imposes upon you the $800 special assessment.
The Court imposes upon you five years supervised release simply because the law requires it. But the life sentences are real life sentences so I need go no further. This is the sentence that is provided for by our statutes. It is a fair and just sentence. It is a righteous sentence.
Let me explain this to you. We are not afraid of you or any of your terrorist co-conspirators, Mr. Reid. We are Americans. We have been through the fire before. There is all too much war talk here and I say that to everyone with the utmost respect. Here in this court, we deal with individuals as individuals and care for individuals as individuals. As human beings, we reach out for justice.
You are not an enemy combatant. You are a terrorist. You are not a soldier in any war. You are a terrorist. To give you that reference, to call you a soldier, gives you far too much stature. Whether it is the officers of government who do it or your attorney who does it, or if you think you are a soldier. You are not----- you are a terrorist. And we do not negotiate with terrorists. We do not meet with terrorists. We do not sign documents with terrorists. We hunt them down one by one and bring them to justice.
So war talk is way out of line in this court. You are a big fellow. But you are not that big. You're no warrior. I've known warriors. You are a terrorist. A species of criminal that is guilty of multiple attempted murders. In a very real sense, State Trooper Santiago had it right when you first were taken off that plane and into custody and you wondered where the press and where the TV crews were, and he said: "You're no big deal."
You are no big deal.
What your able counsel and what the equally able United States attorneys have grappled with and what I have as honestly as I know how tried to grapple with, is why you did something so horrific. What was it that led you here to this courtroom today?
I have listened respectfully to what you have to say. And I ask you to search your heart and ask yourself what sort of unfathomable hate led you to do what you are guilty and admit you are guilty of doing. And I have an answer for you. It may not satisfy you, but as I search this entire record, it comes as close to understanding as I know.
It seems to me you hate the one thing that to us is most precious. You hate our freedom. Our individual freedom... Our individual freedom to live as we choose, to come and go as we choose, to believe or not believe as we individually choose... Here, in this society, the very wind carries freedom. It carries it everywhere from sea to shining sea. It is because we prize individual freedom so much that you are here in this beautiful courtroom. So that everyone can see, truly see, that justice is administered fairly, individually, and discretely. It is for freedom's sake that your lawyers are striving so vigorously on your behalf and have filed appeals, will go on in their representation of you before other judges.
We Americans are all about freedom. Because we all know that the way we treat you, Mr. Reid, is the measure of our own liberties. Make no mistake though. It is yet true that we will bear any burden; pay any price, to preserve our freedoms. Look around this courtroom. Mark it well. The world is not going to long remember what you or I say here. Day after tomorrow, it will be forgotten, but this, however, will long endure. Here in this courtroom and courtrooms all across America, the American people will gather to see that justice, individual justice, justice, not war, individual justice is in fact being done. The very President of the United States through his officers will have to come into courtrooms and lay out evidence on which specific matters can be judged and juries of citizens will gather to sit and judge that evidence democratically, to mold and shape and refine our sense of justice.
See that flag, Mr. Reid? That's the flag of the United States of America That flag will fly there long after this is all forgotten. That flag stands for freedom. And it always will.
Mr. Custody Officer. Stand him down.
So, how much of this Judge's comments did we hear on our TV sets?We need more judges like Judge Young, but that's another subject. Pass this around. Everyone should and needs to hear, this fine judge, powerful words that strike home.

Al Qaeda, Nukes & US
Al-Qaeda's terrifying vision of a devastated America in the wake of a nuclear attack Washington is laid to waste. The Capitol is a blackened, smoking ruin. The White House has been razed. Countless thousands are dead.
This is the apocalyptic scene terrorists hope to create if they ever get their hands on a nuclear bomb.
Al Sahab puts out more than 80 'officially sanctioned' videos a year to keep up the propaganda on the West. And the Internet shows how easy it is to stir up militancy. One message with the Washington picture said: 'The next strike's in the heart of America. When? When? When? And How?'
Last night FBI sources said Al Qaeda was desperate to get its hands on a weapon of mass destruction, be it nuclear, chemical, or biological.
So far that is only a dream... or, as this picture suggests, a nightmare.
But remember, al Qaeda is made up of patriots only wanting America out of the Middle East and Asia so that they can bring peace and honey to the regions.

Last American To Leave Miami Should Grab The Flag & Turn Off The Lights
In Miami, Spanish is becoming the primary language
Melissa Green's mother spoke Spanish, but she never learned - her father forbid it. Today, that's a frequent problem in this city where the English-speaking population is outnumbered.
The 49-year-old flower shop owner and Miami native said her inability to speak "espanol" makes it difficult to conduct business, seek help at stores and even ask directions. She finds it "frustrating."
"It makes it hard for some people to find a job because they don't speak Spanish, and I don't think that it is right," said Green, who sometimes calls a Spanish-speaking friend to translate for customers who don't speak English.
"Sometimes I think they should learn it," she said.
"The Anglo population is leaving," said Juan Clark, a sociology professor at Miami Dade College. "One of the reactions is to emigrate toward the north. They resent the fact that (an American) has to learn Spanish in order to have advantages to work. If one doesn't speak Spanish, it's a disadvantage."

"It makes it hard for some people to find a job because they don't speak Spanish, and I don't think that it is right," said Green, who sometimes calls a Spanish-speaking friend to translate for customers who don't speak English.
"Sometimes I think they should learn it," she said.
"The Anglo population is leaving," said Juan Clark, a sociology professor at Miami Dade College. "One of the reactions is to emigrate toward the north. They resent the fact that (an American) has to learn Spanish in order to have advantages to work. If one doesn't speak Spanish, it's a disadvantage."
