"Gitmo Guards Often Attacked by Detainees" where is the NY Times, WaPo???

The AP has an article about the attacks by the detainees at Club Gitmo, WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE of the Drive-By Media? Will it lead CBS, NBC, ABC??????

I won't hold my breath!

Dead Babies ploy and other

I have to laugh at he fact the Drive-By Media is showing all the dead babies from the Israeli attack on Hezbo's. If the death of Arab (Lebanese) children is such an outrage, why do the leader of Hezbos, Hamas, and Islamic Jihad send children of their followers into Israeli pizza joints and discos to blow themselves up?

Gays harassing straight people using "Breeders" as a perjorative

I heard about this about a week ago and didn't believe it, but apparently in Provincetown, Mass. (What a surprise!) gays are yelling epithets toward straight people calling them, "breeders" and "baby makers." This is so funny, typical, and sad all at the same time. It seems that Provincetown, Mass. is a popular vacation place for gay people. A group supporting gay marriage has posted the names of all the people who have signed a petition which bans gay marriage and the locals have been the target of harassment. The PC police won't call the harassment a "hate crime."

Let's see, if the story was reverse, the news would be screaming about discrimination, and the harassers would be charge with a hate crime. (ask Colin Finnerty about that) But since the harassers are a protected PC group, it's ok.

My comment to the bigots who would call me a "breeder", all I can say is "that's right, thank you, your envious of what I can do and you can't. The only way to increase your kind is through recruitment."

"Finally, a San Francisco protestor with a sign I can get behind!!"

(H/T: New Sisyphus) Any Questions? Where is the Anti-War Leftist outrage over the torture and executions of the Menchaca and Tucker? And when I speak of torture, I mean, disfigurement, beatings, and beheadings. Not being interrogated by a woman or being forced to wear a woman's panty on you head. Last time I check, yesterday, no one has been executed at Club Gitmo.

Helen Thomas, Hezbollah Talking Head

Listening to Helen Thomas questions Tony Snow about the administration's policy and discussions with Israel over the response to the Hezbollah rocket attacks was comical. Helen has been compared to the crazy aunt in the attic. Well, she got out again. Does anyone really take her seriously?

You can tell she has a special place in her heart for the Lebanese people, since she is the child of Lebanese immigrants. If she wants Israel to stop attacking Lebanon, here is a hint. Tell your country men to kick out the terrorist, who are hiding among civilians, and tell them to stop launching weapons at another country.

How does she think the US would react if Mexico launched rocket in to the US?

Joe Wilson & Valerie Plame Lawsuit, Part. 3

There have been so many article about the Wilson/Plame lawsuit, with so many theories on the agenda of the lawsuit. The news that they Wilson's has started a "Legal Support Trust" also strikes me a funny. They have Duke Law Professor Erwin Chemerinski lending his name to the case. If there case was a strong one, there are many Democratic Party friendly Law firms in D.C. who would jump on the case for a contingency basis. The fact they are collecting donations tells me, they don't think the case is very strong, they don't want to spend their own money, and the sharks in D.C. are looking for easy money.

Much like Ted Rall, who claimed if he collected enough donation commitments, that he would sue Ann Coulter for slander. Big problem for Ted, she didn't slander him, and the best part. There were not enough donations. The lawsuit was a loser.

I am sure the main objective of the case is to depose The Veep, Rove and anyone else in the Administration, fishing for embarrassing info, then leak it to the press. Wilson's suit will disappear just before the defendant's lawyers depose Wilson. He will prove to be as big of a joke and blowhard in Washington as Joe "Plagarist" Biden and Schmucky Schumer.

Debra Sanders, of the San Fransisco Chronicle does boil down Valerie and Joe lawsuit and attempt to stay in the spotlight to a simple statement. This statement will also become the main point of the defense. "If Plame's job depended on anonymity, her hubby should not have penned an op-ed piece for the New York Times."

Hezbollah and Israel

A lot of pundit have been pontificating that Hezbollah kidnapped the two Israeli solider for a prisoner exchange. The Israeli government has a history of exchanging soldiers for prisoners at a rate of about 100 prisoners for one soldier. Hezbollah leadership may have been thinking, at Iran's prompting, let's see what Tel Aviv and Washington DC will do with a rocket attack. Israel will bomb for a few days, the worldwide community and the UN will condemn Israel, the Israelis will pull back and exchange 200 or so prisoners for their two soldiers.

But wait, Iran and Syria are Shiite muslims, most of the rest of the Arab community are Sunni's. The Arab League has condemned Hezbollah and Iran. What is going on?? Where is the backing of the rest of the Arab world?

Maybe the rest of the Arab world realize that George will protect Israel and kick their collective asses out of power. The bottom line is that Arab dictators of the world realize they may be the next one to lose power and wealth and be on trial for human rights violations.

I do like Rush Limbaugh's idea about the rockets. Send in Israeli commandos, take over the Hezbollah rocket sites, aim the rockets about 90 degrees to the east and launch them. It would be funny to see the rockets reigning down on Damascus. Watching both Hezbollah and Syria blaming the Israeli for the "attack" would be hilarious.

"But the rockets were launched from Lebanon??????"

"Why are they shooting at us?"

All I can say is that American technology is weaponry at it's very best.

Joe Wilson & Valerie Plame Lawsuit, Part. 2

Joe Wilson has been making the round on the Talk Show circuit for the last few years quoting the Democratic Party Mantra, " Bush Lied Us into War." Wilson also claimed his "investigative" trip to Niger disproves the "16 words" for the 2002 State of the Union Speech. Wilson has also claimed his "covert" CIA agent wife was "outed" in retaliation for his Wall Street Journal article.

Well, let us check Joe Wilson credibility.

Claim-- His trip to Niger was done at the request of the VP.
Fact--- He was sent to Niger by the CIA as a bone for his Consulting Business and he was recommended by his Wife

Claim-- His investigative trip, with consisted of tea time with government officials proves that Saddam was not trying to acquire yellowcake uranium.
Fact--- The Senate intelligence committee stated in their report, that Joe Wilson's info further substantiates the Worldwide intelligence communities option that Saddam was trying to acquire yellowcake. The British Government still stand by the assessment that Saddam was trying to get yellowcake. And their internal inquiry, the Butler report also confirm the intelligence was accurate and not "sexed up".

Claim-- That documents discovered by the Italian intelligence and reviewed by Wilson, that appear to verify Iraq attempts to acquired yellowcake were forgeries.
Truth--- The documents were discovered after the Niger trip and Joe Wilson never saw them.
Wilson later claims he mis-spoke.

Claim-- The outing of Valerie Plame ended her career, ended her income, exposed her identity, and threatened the safety of their family.
Truth--- No one knew what Plame looked like until she posed for Vanity Fair (twice), Time Magazine, and the Washington Post. Wilson and Plame for multi-million dollar advances for a book he wrote and a book she is writing. If they are so worried about exposure, why show up at the televised White House Correspondent's Dinner?

And they have the stones to sue about the Government's invasion of privacy!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

The gall of these two people reminds me of the story of a boy throwing himself at the mercy of the court during sentencing after he was convicted of murdering his parents and reminding the judge that he was an orphan.

For a complete run down of the fact, see NRO. They have the detail boiled down.

The definition of Irony

Iran announce that it will be rationing gasoline to it's citizens. You ask yourself how can a country so rich with oil, have a shortage of gas.

Well, it seems that Iran does not have the refinery capacity to produce enough gasoline for it's own country's need. Apparently, they get a substantial percentage of their gas from Europe. But the Mad Mullahs of Iran are mad at the EU for demanding that the Iranians cease the enrichment of uranium and stop their nuclear program and stopped buying refined gas from the EU and have to resort to rationing.

Too funny.

Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame sue The VP, Rove, and others?!?!?!??!

There are just so many things wrong, silly, and galling about this lawsuit.

Mark Levin's blog sums up several good points. The discovery angle is something that can ultimately help Scooter Libby and dispel the Lunatic Left's claim of outing a covert agent non-sense.

Steven Spruiell National Review (NRO) Media Blog article title boils it down succinctly, "Publicity Hounds Sue for Invasion of Privacy." How much more simple can it be said!

Another NRO blog, "Reconcilable Differences", make more key observations that will show that the entire episode was created to get Karl Rove and the Veep.

I think the whole thing will be throw out before trial, because it will be determined that Joe Wilson became a public figure when he wrote the Wall Street Journal piece and went on the talk show circuit.


But I want a trial!!!! Watching someone like Mark Levin or Ben Gingsberg cross examine Joe Wilson about his credibility would be sooooo entertaining. "Let me see if I understand this," asks Levin. "The US Senate Intelligence Committee report on your trip to Niger says you’re a liar. You said yourself, the document you claimed to see and were fake, were discovered after your wrote the WSJ piece, correct? You claim to fear for the safety of your family and yourself, correct? Also claim your wife is a covert agent for the CIA, but both of you pose for photos to be published in major magazines, like Vanity Fair, Time, etc. Correct? So the US Senate says you’re a liar, and you, yourself said you misspoke. You claim to fear for your safety, yet posed for photos with your wife to be published in major magazines. You also attend the White House Correspondents dinner, an event that is broadcast on TV.

So are you lying now, just mis-speaking, or just posing for the TV cameras?

Dan Rather is truly delusional (and surprise .... biased)

I just saw the Larry King interview of Dan Rather. He still doesn't get it. Combine that with his speech about his baggage from his career.

"Yes, I have baggage. I have the baggage of being a graduate of the journalism school out of the University of South Vietnam. I have baggage from the civil rights movement in Birmingham. I have baggage from Watergate and covering, as the White House and lead correspondent for CBS News, the only president in history who resigned. ..."

"You bet your life I've got a lot of baggage. And make no mistake, I'm proud of it. Yes, I'm biased. I have a very strong bias toward independent journalism, italicized, underlined, put in bold caps. ..."

Remember Dan, you haven't been accountable for your actions...ever. The President and Congress have to be elected and re-elected regularly. The people have a chance of removing bad politicians, one' they don't like, are tinged with scandal, corrupt. There is some accountability.

Where is your accountability? You have been the anchor at CBS for longer than most of Congress. Your ratings have been the lowers of the big three for at least a decade. Where is the accountability? Who elected you as the editor of news content? NOT THE PEOPLE!!!! Until Fox News and Talk Radio, there was no choice. The radio people only get to continue their shows based on ratings. Limbaugh, Hannity, Ingraham, Hewitt, and O'Reilly are not last in their time slot against similar competition. They are not subsidized like those hacks at Air America.

Remember Dan, your newscast was in last place for over a decade!!!!!

North Korean Missiles and the Chinese

OK, everybody in the world is upset with North Korea (NK) and it launching of missile. Japan is really ticked off. Only two world players are not upset. Russia and China!! I suspect Putin has so many internal problems, he like the idea that Kim Jong "Mentally" Ill is keeping US, the EU, Japan, Taiwan and the rest of the non-nuclear world busy. SO what is China's deal. They are the only ones who trade with NK at all. They could just tell NK to pound sand and cut them off, like a parent would do to a misbehaving teenager. Iran is watching closely knowing they are next on George's list of "The Axis of Evil". So what is China's motivation?

Here is an thought, what better way to test our ballistic missile shield than with a real world test. NK plays the bad guy, Chine whistles past the graveyard and get valuable intel on our defense systems. The past two Iraq wars must have all foreign military planners worried. Our superior weapons technology, especially air power must cause the Chinese, Russian and the Mad Mullahs of Iran sleepless nights.

Osama was convinced we were a paper tiger. The two George's showed a willingness to pull the trigger. The Red Chinese want to know our capacity but don't want to challenge it directly. SO they find a "crazy" surrogate. A war with NK would be a slaughter, eventually. Seoul is only 60 miles from the DMZ. A massive NK invasion would have substantial casualties on both side. NK would lose about 70% of their attacking force, not an issue to "Dear Leader". The South Koreans could have a million casualties in the first two weeks before we had enough resources there to repel NK back and save their behinds, again.

If NK attacks, I wonder what all the anti-US military students will be doing? Fighting and defending their country? Or blaming the US for reducing our military presence as the students demanded. They will probably blame us for listening to their demands of reducing our military presence, then demand we repair their country afterward on our nickel.

Fever finally broken, well, World Cup Fever at least

I have been trying to avoid writing something about the World Cup. The "pundits" and"experts" claim futbol the most popular sport in the world, it's played in every country, blah, blah, blah...

Well, I managed to avoid watching any games. I was kinda interested in which country won, but that's about it. Lo and behold, during Sports Center the starting showing the finals highlights. I figured one or two great saves, one of two shots that hit the posts, one goal. 10 seconds later, boring baseball highlights. But the was something exciting for ESPN to show. "Insane" Zidane, the best French player, smashes his head into the chest of an Italian defender. Wow, passion and some physical contact. Well, it explains everything about the French. First of all, it was a lousy head butt. If you are going to do a head butt, aim for the nose or the forehead. You know, do some damage!!! You know you going to get red carded for it, so make sure you take out the defender. Pummel him. Just sucker punch him and keep whaling until the referee pulls you off. Kinda like a real man's sport.... Hockey!!!!

But wait, Zidane is French! I am surprised he didn't run away into the locker room after the head butt, screaming retreat the whole way.

Clinton's Foreign Policy Legacy haunts us again

It's so funny watching all the former Clinton Officials defend the wonderful foreign aid deal they made with North Korean (NoKo) in 1994. We promised them 4-6 billion dollars in aid and they promised to not develop nukes and missiles. Whoops!!! The North Koreans took the aid negotiated by Jimmah Cartah and used what ever money they had left to develop their weapons program. And then after Bill left office, the NoKo announced to the world that they took and money and developed weapon systems anyway. Madeline Not-so-bright is defending the deal even as the NoKo are launching missiles.

Let's review the Clinton Foreign Policy Legacy.
  1. North Korean Foreign Aid Treaty, they got nukes and ICBMs.
  2. Capturing Osama Bin Laden, 9/11.
  3. Bosnia Peace Keeping Force preventing muslim genocide, out with in a year, we're still there.
  4. Darfur, Sudan; something bad is happening in Africa??!?!?!?!?!
And the Donkey Party of JF Kerry, John Murtha, and Hillary want to put in charge of National Defence.

RRRIIIGGGHHHTTT!!!!!

So many things so little rant time.

I don't know where to start.

  1. The NY Times backtracking to the SWIFT program revelations.

  3. The urban farm, used by illegal immigrants, sit in.
  4. Rush Limbaugh and Viagra.
Where to start? Being a good procrastinator, I'll start tomorrow.

Join the LAPD, Why?

The LA Times has another breathless article of the problems the LAPD is having finding recruits to fill all the open vacancies in the Department. They lament that several officers are leaving the LAPD for other agencies for "better pay, newer equipment and less stressful working conditions." Let's examine the "less stressful working conditions." The LA Times always covers police shootings and confrontations in a manner that questions the officers judgment. The local community leader always assume the officers are "racist, sexist, bigot, and homophobes." The Police Chief doesn't defend his officers vigorously. The Civilian Police Commission, who is stacked with anti-police activists, regularly overrule the Chief on use of force policies.

So why would anyone want join the LAPD?

Example, the Devin Brown case? He was a 13 year old boy, who stole a car, was driving it around at 4AM, and tried to run over an LAPD officer who was trying to pull him over. The officer used his gun and shot at the car and driver, when Devon Brown tried backing the car over the officer.

So after the investigation, the Chief stated the use of deadly force was within policy. However, the Police Commission, who are politically connected to the mayor of LA decided that the use of deadly force was "out of policy". The head of the civilian police commission is John Mack, the former head of the LA Urban League, a long time civil rights activist and frequent critic of the LAPD. The Commission reasoning for the "out of policy" use of force is that the officer killed an unarmed 13 year old boy.

WHAT????

I have a few questions for the commission. How does the officer know it is a 13 year old boy? He was driving erratically at 4am. The car was reported stolen. The driver put the car into reverse and tried run him over with a 3000lb car. Isn't the CAR AS A DEADLY WEAPON?

The officer never had a chance against the commission.

So think about it, would you want to work under these circumstances?
