We're doomed!

The Earth spins at 1,000 mph but it travels through space at an incredible 67,000 mph."
We're all gonna blow off!
Well, it's as believable as second hand smoke causing cancer and republicans causing global warming.....

When did this change?

Big Lizards:Blog:Main: "What seems to be misplaced is the lost journalists' ethic of simply conveying the relevant facts -- rather than trying to force a certain reader reaction (of despair, in this case), no matter how inappropriate it may be."
Sad....

United 93- the movie

April 16, 2006 - April 22, 2006 Archives: "I won't tell all the action, but I will say that when they beat down that first terrorist, it was quite possibly the most satisfying, cinematic moment I've ever experienced. I'm not sure what that says about me, but it felt good.
Watching the terrorists' faces drop as they realize they won't be able to complete their mission for god-- priceless. The terrorists are portrayed mercilessly."
Great movie review! My kind of woman!

Loose lips reveal demo's duplicity.

Legislator: 'Illegals' will fill jobs: "West Michigan legislator Doug Bennett believes school districts in West Michigan that privatize their custodian and bus driving jobs will be getting rid of 'everyone you trust,' and giving those jobs to 'illegal immigrants.'
Bennett, a Democrat representing the northern Muskegon County district that includes the Reeths-Puffer school district, repeated his remarks three times during a public rally to protest privatization of school jobs.....
'We all know what's going to happen -- they are going to hire illegal immigrants to fill the jobs,' Bennett told Kathie Oakes..........'It's all about money,' he said.
Bennett attempted to clarify his statements after realizing Oakes was standing next to a Chronicle reporter.
The state legislator said his comments shouldn't be misconstrued as anti-immigrant. He also said he wasn't accusing Reeths-Puffer school officials of knowingly planning to hire illegal immigrants to fill custodial jobs.
Bennett said the likelihood of illegal immigrants working as custodians in the district will increase because the board voted to contract those jobs with Enviro-Clean Services of Holland, said Bennett.
Holland, he said, is known for having many illegal immigrants living there.
This guy is an elected State Rep? PANDERER!

I'm embarrassed....

.... to say I agree with the LA Times.
The pay's the thing - Los Angeles Times: "When people like McGuire have $1.4 billion worth of unused stock options, the whole system of incentives is seriously out of whack. "
Senior executive pay is way out of line. I just know the government can't make it fairer.

We have met the enemy and they are journalists!

Collaborators!
Read the whole thing.
The title tells all.
Seems like the left wants accolades more than victory over those who would, and will continue to, kill Americans. Sickening.....
Reporting so good it's criminal?
April 22, 2006
THERE are a lot of ways to react to the annual award of the Pulitzer Prizes, which occurred this week.
You could congratulate the winners, fulsomely or, as is often the case, through the gritted teeth of a strained smile. You could argue angrily that work more worthy should have won. You could shrug in weary indifference and get on with more important things, like moisturizing the cat. You could quite sensibly ignore the whole thing.
This year, though, there was another reaction, one that speaks in a particular way to this nation's extreme polarization and to the new realities of doing journalism in such an environment.
A number of prominent commentators called for jailing three of the prize winners.

Only on FOX!

The Secret War Against President Bush - John Gibson Judge Napolitano John Gibson Big Story Weekend: "What is really going on here is the secret war by CIA-types against President Bush and his policies. This is the group inside the CIA, think Valerie Plame, who think their opinions and analysis of the world should trump whatever it is the president thinks. If the president goes against their opinion, they call The New York Times and start leaking embarrassing stuff.
It's a war against Bush, waged by Americans.
It's wrong, it's illegal and people are going to start going to jail"
These traitors are working for our enemies while we are at war!

Crooks lose county contract?

Arrests could kill body contract: "A body-removal business could be cut loose by Muskegon County following recent arrests of the owner and two employees and the company's failure to provide required documentation."
Another sweet county deal gone bad. Anyone checkin' where the bodies went?

The truth about gas prices

Blogcritics.org: A Thought On Gasoline Prices - Rats ... Maybe They Sorta Make Sense: "Instead of listening to talking heads or talk show callers to learn about gasoline prices I decided to just sit down for ten minutes and do a little math. You know...the kind of math we learned in elementary school?"
G Gordon Cal sends this link. He's interested in the facts. Too bad so many care less about facts and more about punishing oil companies. Maybe the US Postal Service should bring us gasoline instead of Exxon?

Nazi tactics in GR!

WOODTV.com & WOOD TV8 - Grand Rapids news and weather - GR man denies neo-Nazi ties: "Residents in a northeast side neighborhood stood outside a home on Grove Street Thursday night and passed out fliers that claimed the man who lives there is the Southwest Unit Leader for a neo-Nazi group."
Um, isn't this what the Brown Shirts did to the Jews in 1930s Germany?

No Pulitzer for this reporter

Bill Clinton Decimated the CIA: "Upon taking power in 1993, Risen reports, the Clinton administration 'began slashing the intelligence budget in search of a peace dividend, and Bill Clinton showed almost no interest in intelligence matters.'"
Let's see. Bill Clinton destroys the CIA. The CIA gives George Bush flawed info about Iraq. The drive by media reports "Bush Lied". And no one seems interested in fixing the CIA.

Culture of corruption!

Senior Democrat Exits House Ethics Panel: "The top Democrat on the House ethics committee, Alan Mollohan, will leave the panel _ at least temporarily _ while he defends his own financial conduct, Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi said Friday. "
Top democrat ain't got no ethics? I'm shocked!

Heebee jeebie alert!

'NYT' Sunday Preview: Madeleine Albright Can Leg-Press 400 Pounds: "NEW YORK In an interview in the The New York Times Magazine that will appear this coming Sunday, Madeleine Albright reveals, among other things, that even at 68, she works out three times a week 'and I can leg-press up to 400 pounds.' This follows a discussion of how she does not expect to re-marry, partly because, as she says, 'I'm intimidating, don't you think?'"
Not the first thought that comes to mind....

We're doomed!

Airdisaster.Com Forums - Military Controller Puts Out Warning: "KEALAKEKUA, Hawaii (U.S. Newswire) -- Eric Julien, a former French military air traffic controller and senior airport manager, has completed a study of the comet 73P Schwassmann- Wachmann and declared that a fragment is highly likely to impact the Eart on or around May 25, 2006.

.... just stupid. Sorta like those geezer girl calendars.

Moral equivalence?

GoodShit:: "CIA Officer Fired for Leaking Classified Info to Media
this story of interest to me for two reasons:
1.Leak tells us that the law broken to subvert FISA for NSA...but revealing illegal stuff not acceptable.
2. President is alleged to have leaked story on Valerie Palme (at least ok'd leak to Libby), yet he is not 'fired.'"
Textbook example of "sophistry".

Why is no one listening?

The Standard : "It has turned Syria and Lebanon into its outer defenses, which means that, for the first time since the 7th century, Iran is militarily present on the coast of the Mediterranean. In a massive political jamboree in Teheran last week, Ahmadinejad also assumed control of the 'Jerusalem Cause,' which includes annihilating Israel 'in one storm,' while launching a takeover bid for the cash-starved Hamas government in the West Bank and Gaza."
This has already happened. Very scary.

Suicidal GOPer-ette?

RealClearPolitics - Articles - The GOP's Betrayal On Speech: "Candice Miller, R-Mich., said that restricting 527s would combat ``nauseating ugliness, negativity and hyperpartisanship.'' Oh, so that is what the First Amendment means: Congress shall make no law abridging freedom of speech unless speech annoys politicians."
Does Candice forget how the truth about Kerry got out? Apparently.....

Old news but....

...... the drive by media keeps repeating the "rich don't pay their fair share" mantra. Here's some ammo to counter their lies.


WSJ.com - Taxes: Who Pays, and How Much?: "That tax system is modestly more progressive today than it was a quarter-century ago. In 1980, households in the bottom 20% of the income distribution earned 5.7% of all income and paid 2% of all federal taxes; in 2003 -- the most recent data available -- they earned 4.2% of all income and paid 1% of all taxes. Meanwhile, the highest earning 20% of households earned 45.8% of income in 1980 and paid 56.3% of all taxes. In 2003 those high-income households earned 52.2% of income and paid 65.7% of taxes."

Her first time "loud and disruptive"?

Supermodel arrested for allegedly hitting flight attendant: "The 23-year-old bombshell was aboard Martinair Flight 643 on Thursday. She was ''loud and disruptive all throughout the flight,'' according to a Miami-Dade police spokeswoman."
Someone, get this girl a cheeseburger, fast!

Top Ten Female Streakers

YesButNoButYes: Top Ten Female Streakers: "Top Ten Female Streakers
Streaking - a curiously British phenomenon (that guy who streaked behind David Niven at the Oscars notwithstanding). While I was growing up, it seemed that almost every national sporting event in England was interrupted by a naked runner - usually a short ugly hairy man who proved to the crowd just how cold the weather actually was (see Seinfeld, shrinkage).
But while no-one - male or female - probably gives a damn about seeing male dangly bits jogging across a tennis court, I thought there might "

HOW 'SEX' POL GOT HUSTLED OUT: " 'We actually had nothing on Livingston,' MacDonell tells Page Six. He explains, 'an elected Republican office holder from Louisiana passed us the phone number of a woman who was supposedly Livingston's girlfriend. But when we phoned her, she cursed us and hung up. "
