.... 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."

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).

Democrats Vow Not To Give Up Hopelessness The Onion - America's Finest News Source:
February 27, 2006 Issue 42 09
WASHINGTON, DC In a press conference on the steps of the Capitol Monday, Congressional Democrats announced that, despite the scandals plaguing the Republican Party and widespread calls for change in Washington, their party will remain true to its hopeless direction.
'We are entirely capable of bungling this opportunity to regain control of the House and Senate and the trust of the American people,' Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said to scattered applause. 'It will take some doing, but we're in this for the long and pointless haul.' "

JF Buckley: Intellectual Terrorist by Mike S. Adams - Apr 16, 2006: "As a gay man I have long ago realized that the world is full of homophobic, hate-mongers who, of course, say that they are not. So, I am not shocked, only deeply saddened�and THREATENED�that such mindless folks are on this great campus. I am ending now, with the hope that I have seriously challenged you Scott, and anyone who �thinks� as you purport to do. You have made me fearful and uneasy being a gay man on this campus. I am, in fact, notifying the OSU-M campus, and Ohio State University in general, that I no longer feel safe doing my job. I am being harassed"

"Republicans Hate Latinos"

Threads2: "Tucson,'Republicans Hate Latinos'' read the headline on Friday's front-page in red, all-capital letters. No attribution. Just stated as fact. That quote has been in the news since labor activist Dolores Huerta used the phrase in an April 3 speech at Tucson High School. The statement appeared as a quotation above four photos, including one of Huerta. Yet in the Star's presentation, the quote was not attributed, instead presented as fact and in eye-catching red. "

Let's see, a federal grant from a bankrupt country, a loan from a bankrupt state and subsidized surfing for all. What's going to happen to companies that employed people and paid taxes to offer this service?
Unstrung - WiMax/Broadband Wireless - WiMax to Muskegon - Wireless Networking News Analysis: "
In one of the most significant WiMax deployments to date, regional service provider Arialink Broadband says it will build out a broadband wireless network for all of Muskegon County, Mich., using 802.16e equipment from Samsung Corp. .
The Muskegon County network is a public/private partnership funded by a $2.2 million federal grant from the Dept. of Housing and Urban Development along with a $4.5 million loan from the state of Michigan's Economic Development Corporation. Arialink will also invest $6 million of its own funds to build the network, says CEO Jason Schreiber. The company has committed to providing high-speed Internet access at speeds of 3 Mbit/s at a cost of $18.99 a month. Faster, higher-priced versions of the service will be available to residents and businesses in the area, providing mobile broadband at bandwidths of 10 Mbit/s and up. "

The power of the press!

News-Leader.com Nation/World: "Taxes rise and fall from one administration to the next, but the unpopularity of the income tax system is constant.
An Ipsos Poll finds that almost six of 10 people say the system is unfair, a percentage virtually unchanged from two decades ago."
Amazing poll given the fact that the rich pay a greater percentage of federal income taxes than ever before. Fewer people may rely on the MSM for information today but their sophistry continues to misinform the masses. They must be so proud.

Peeps Researching Peeps!

Peep Research - Staley Library, Millikin University, Decatur, IL: "Although scientific and health research has been conducted on Peeps, most notably that appearing on the Peep Research website (see http://www.peepresearch.org), we have noted an absence of research focusing on the ability of Peeps themselves to actually do research."
About time this valuable research gets its proper recognition!

Pretty clear to me.

New chief justice joins the court's 'liberal' minority: "This is ironic, because it has long been argued that court conservatives such as Roberts are 'strict constructionists,' obedient to the wishes of the nation's Founding Fathers in their interpretation of the Constitution. That's laughable and this case proves it. "
From The Muskegon Chronicle's editorial page. The fine editorialists state "... it has been long argued...", then call that argument "laughable" and then purport to disprove said argument. The problem is the only voices shouting this idiotic "argument" came from The Chronicle and other hystericals on the left. Do they realize how transparent they are?

Steyn warns us again.

Printer Friendly: "Bill Clinton, the Sultan of Swing, gave an interesting speech last week, apropos foreign policy: 'Anytime somebody said in my presidency, 'If you don't do this, people will think you're weak,' I always asked the same question for eight years: 'Can we kill 'em tomorrow?' If we can kill 'em tomorrow, then we're not weak, and we might be wise enough to try to find an alternative way.'
The trouble was tomorrow never came -- from the first World Trade Center attack to Khobar Towers to the African Embassy bombings to the USS Cole. Manana is not a policy. The Iranians are merely the latest to understand that."
We've already tried the ostrich approach of Clinton. I didn't work. It never works. Why is the left committed to trying it again?

Peace in our time?

Bombs That Would Backfire - New York Times: "WHITE HOUSE spokesmen have played down press reports that the Pentagon has accelerated planning to bomb Iran. We would like to believe that the administration is not intent on starting another war, because a conflict with Iran could be even more damaging to our interests than the current struggle in Iraq has been. A brief look at history shows why."
This disgusting historical amnesia conveniently ignores the hundreds of thousands of dead innocents the Iranian leaders have already guaranteed will happen, soon.

Good law!

Medicaid Hurdle for Immigrants May Hurt Others - New York Times: "More than 50 million Medicaid recipients will soon have to produce birth certificates, passports or other documents to prove that they are United States citizens, and everyone who applies for coverage after June 30 will have to show similar documents under a new federal law......
State officials worry that many blacks, American Indians and other poor people will be unable to come up with the documents needed to prove citizenship.
But because it might inconvenience some, the left will fight it to the end. There is a difference in political parties.

More compassionate liberals.....

Politics Michigan finds this gem from the liberal blogosphere. No wonder drugs for depression are selling so well.....
Politics [Michigan]: "This is the actual posting of some blogger in Saline, Michigan..without editing:
"If you vote for DeVos for governor in 2006, than you're a racist. This is not my opinion, this is incontrovertible fact. Either vote for someone else, or don't vote at all. It's a simple choice, really.

If you want to vote for DeVos, than fine. Just deal with the fact that you're racist slime. Your children will spend their entire lives trying to erase their connection to you."

Have a nice day.
It's amazing that the left is in such disaray...if this is what they have sunk too, they have lost their ability to have an argument or put forth a premise and supporting data. "

Bozo law has unintended consequences.

Wage law could give overtime to thousands: "Robert Boonin, an Ann Arbor-area attorney who specializes in labor law, said the change 'could have devastating effects on employers who have to pay highly compensated employees overtime for the first time.'
'I've talked to some employers about it, and they're amazed,' said Boonin, "
That giant sucking sound you hear is highly compendated jobs leaving Michigan.

FOXNews.com - Iran President: Israel Will Be Annihilated: "President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called Israel a 'permanent threat' to the Middle East that will 'soon' be liberated. .....'Like it or not, the Zionist regime is heading toward annihilation,' Ahmadinejad said at the opening of a conference in support of the Palestinians. 'The Zionist regime is a rotten, dried tree that will be eliminated by one storm.'
Ahmadinejad provoked a world outcry in October when he said Israel should be 'wiped off the map.'

Howling at the moon?

Too angry to think clearly. Bummer for the angry left.
Decision '08: "In the angry life of Maryscott O'Connor, the rage begins as soon as she opens her eyes and realizes that her president is still George W. Bush. The sun has yet to rise and her family is asleep, but no matter; as soon as the realization kicks in, O'Connor, 37, is out of bed and heading toward her computer.
Out there, awaiting her building fury: the Angry Left, where O'Connor's reputation is as one of the angriest of all. "One long, sustained scream" is how she describes the writing she does for various Web logs, as she wonders what she should scream about this day."

Everyone knew this?

This has been going on for decades, right here in Michigan. Why even have an INS (newly renamed USCIS) if we won't enforce our laws? And the politicians want more laws they won't enforce? A pox on both parties!
