What a combo!

My Way - Sports News: "Roger Federer and Tiger Woods broke open two bottles of Dom Perignon and toasted - to a growing friendship, greatness and Grand Slams.
With his new best pal watching from a corner box, Federer rocketed a final forehand past Andy Roddick, then fell to his knees and flopped onto his back. He'd won his third straight U.S. Open title in convincing fashion, 6-2, 4-6, 7-5, 6-1 Sunday.
When it was over, Federer returned to the locker room, cracked open the champagne and spent an hour with perhaps the only other athlete on the planet who understands such sheer domination. "

Dick DeVos For Governor: "While Alticor makes products in Michigan and sells them in 80 countries and territories around the world, Governor Granholm's Small Business Jobs Recruiter owns a factory in China that exports products to the U.S.
Under Governor Granholm, Michigan buys Chinese-made Keno pencils for the Michigan lottery. (Detroit News; 6/26/05)
The Governor also supports MEGA grants that give incentives to Ford and GM while they are expanding operations overseas.
Because she has no political motivation to attack these Michigan companies, she only attacks Dick DeVos and Alticor. "

Special election to fill DeLay seat set for Nov. 7

Sounds like the GOPers trumped the happless Demos once again.
Special election to fill DeLay seat set for Nov. 7: "Gov. Rick Perry ordered on Tuesday a special election for the unexpired term of U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay to coincide with the general election Nov. 7, when only two months will remain on DeLay's term."

They wonder why we don't trust them any more...

Not the hole truth Herald Sun: "It's bad enough that friends of Hezbollah terrorists could trick so many journalists with just a tall story and a rusty Lebanese ambulance.
Worse is that some of those journalists seemed so eager to believe this ambulance was indeed wickedly blown up by an Israeli missile fired straight through the big red cross on its roof -- leaving not even a scorch mark.
But worst is that even now that this hoax has been exposed, none of the countless writers and commentators who fell for it have admitted to passing on as fact the propaganda of terrorists. "

Debbie Schlussel: "That is, unless you believe tourists take a bevy of photos of grates of a bridge, showing the bridge supports below, as reported by skilled WJRT-TV Flint investigative reporter Jeff Piechowski. Tourism photos? Hardly. So why did the Michigan State Police Chief lie? All politics. He works for Michigan lefty Governor Jennifer Granholm, who is in the back pocket of Michigan's Islamofascist community"

Broder "Thanks a lot, Democrats"

"What was lost [with the new Democratic plan for early primaries in Nevada and South Carolina] was any sense of public deliberation about the choice of the next president. In the general election, people have two months or more to evaluate two or maybe three candidates. In the early primaries, eight or 10 people may be vying. What is most needed is time -- and a place -- for them to be carefully examined. Historically, New Hampshire has fulfilled that responsibility. Voters there -- in both parties and especially among the numerous independents who also vote in the primary -- take their role seriously. They turn up at town meetings and they ask probing questions.... [But now] the country will be forced to witness the huge field of candidates flashing by in perpetual motion during the December holidays and the frantic first weeks of January, not standing still anywhere long enough to be measured for the job they are trying to win. Thanks a lot, Democrats" -- Washington Post columnist David Broder on the Democratic Party's plan to increase "diversity" by scheduling a more crowded slate of early primary races.

Underground HipHop 4 Dummies: Rap Lyrics Translated / Rapping For Dummies / How to Rap for Dummies: "Lyrics:

And my jam knock in the Mitsubishi

Girls pee pee when they see me, Nava-hoes creep me in they tee pee

As I lay down laws like I lay carpet

Stop it - if you think your gonna make a profit

TRANSLATION:

I enjoy playing my music loudly on my car stereo. Apparently, women enjoy this also because they become sexually aroused when they see me driving. Oddly enough, when I visit the Native American reservations, some of the more sexually promiscuous Indian women attempt to seduce me in their homes. Their intent is to divest me of my earnings. Such actions are unacceptable."

Democrats quash free speech!

Tapscott’s Copy Desk: "With a 3-3 vote featuring Democrat commissioners supporting the silencing of political speech against congressional incumbents and Republican commissioners in favoring of allowing it, the Federal Elections Commission has now made it official - As required by the McCain-Feingold Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Act of 2002, there can be no paid political broadcast ads criticizing incumbent Members of Congress for the two months prior to the Nov. 7 election.
This is the ultimate form of Incumbent Protection Act, short of repealing elections.

Granholm catering to the murderer lobby

Come on. Seven years is a long time. Heck, she only murdered him. I bet her husband was a real ass....probably deserved it....they only used an ax.......
Dying prisoner must wait a month for hearing: "Gov. Jennifer Granholm asked the parole board to reconsider its earlier vote against releasing Ringleka. The board set the hearing in September, Granholm spokeswoman Liz Boyd said, because someone objected to the governor's request that it waive the usual 30-day waiting period....
Ringleka, 56, has served seven years of a 20-year sentence after pleading guilty to second degree murder in the 1999 death of her husband, Howard, of Stanton.Ringleka, 56, of Stanton, was sentenced to at least 20 years in prison in October 2000 after she pleaded guilty to second-degree murder for the killing of her husband, Howard. Her father and stepmother said she was abused by her husband. Her lover, Weldon Mosby, and a hitman they hired, Eric McMurtry, of Detroit, are serving life in prison for the ax murder. A third man, Jerome Gass, of Detroit, is serving 9 1/2 to 15 years for his part in the slaying.

I'm wonderin'....

Would The Chronicle's editorial be so.....understanding, if a GOPer was governor? Yeah, right....
Eagle-Ottawa had long, proud history in Grand Haven: "While some might decry the shutdown as a sign of Michigan's weakness, the plant's owners forthrightly admitted that nothing could have kept the production lines rolling. Company officials told union leaders that neither restructuring of wages nor benefits would have saved the plant. "

Clueless?

WSJ.com - Great Alaska Shoot Out: "Alaska is among the most Republican states in the country, and maybe that explains why incumbent Governor Frank Murkowski finished third in Tuesday's GOP primary, with a mere 19% of the vote. We're hard-pressed to remember an incumbent anytime, anywhere receiving that small a share of the vote, and it's a warning to office holders everywhere about the sour public mood."
Let me help you out. 4 incumbents dumped. 2 GOPer, 2 demos. 3 of the 4 moved left. GONE! This isn't anti incumbent (as the leftist MSM touts), it's anti-leftist politician. Leiberman will beat his leftist opponent in Connecticut to complete the sweep. America remains on course!
