Women and Hardware
Harlow was fixing a door and he found that he needed a new hinge,so he
sent his wife Mary to the hardware store. At the hardware store, Mary saw a
beautiful teapot on a top shelf while she was waiting for Carl,the
manager,to finish waiting on a customer.
When Carl was finished, Mary asked "How much for the teapot?"
Carl replied, "That's silver and it costs $100!"
"My goodness, that sure is a lotta money!" Mary exclaimed. Then
she proceeded to describe the hinge that Harlow had sent her to buy,
and Carl went to the back room to find it.
From the back room Carl yelled, "Mary, you wanna screw for that hinge?"'
Mary replied, "No, but I will for the teapot."
This is why you can't send a woman to a hardware store.

SLIME!
Mamamontezz sent me the link to this story. I can't post on it; it just disgusts me too much.
All I can say is I sincerely hope that both defendants get the maximum penalty allowed by law.
Given my choice, they would be held for life in a sealed cell that was flooded twice a day, just to the point where they could drown....good thing the Constitution has that little prohibition from "cruel and unusual punishment" to protect slime like this from people like me....good that I'm protected from sinking to their level.

Murtha: Hero, or Putz?
Rep. Murtha has used his status as a Viet Nam war hero to lend weight to his accusations of President Bush as, among other things, condicting an "illegal war". Rep. Murtha has two purple hearts for wounds sustained in combat, leading one to believe that he does have "gravitas" as the LSM would call it.
But DOES he really deserve that gravitas?
Marc Morano and Randy Hall seem to think they have found evidence that Murtha is more like another Democratic "war hero", and doesn't deserve the medals that he received.
Mr. Murtha, unlike the other poseur, DID volunteer for service in Viet Nam, and he deserves recognition for that, but if it can be proven that he doesn't deserve the extra recognition for service that those medals represent, he shows that he too, was thinking of a future political career when he gamed the system to get them...but at least he didn't use them to avoid furthur military service.
Are the charges legitimate? I can't say, there isn't enough information as yet to be certain, but one thing that does lend credence to the charges is Mr. Murtha's refusal to release his military records that could answer the question one way or another to both sides satisfaction. What do you have to hide Mr. Murtha?
Release your records and prove the other side wrong, and you increase your standing as a critic of the war.
I do respect Mr. Murtha's service, but his current statments belie everything that that service stood for, and the fact he won't settle this question as easily as he could only further lessens the respect for that service that he should be accrued. Prior service only extends so far, present actions can eiter enhance that respect, or destroy it. For myself, I don't care whether the charges are true or not; Mr. Murtha's statements destroyed any respect that I felt due him.
He has let partisian politics taint what was a good record.
"
Once a Marine;ALWAYS a Marine" is the Corps' (unofficial) proud credo, but I think they would like to make an exception in Rep. Murtha's case.

Hoo-AH!
Lifted from GuK:
Close your eyes and make this image: It's blazing summer heat in Ar Ramadi, and the Marines have just finished an important anti-insurgent operation. A CNN reporter is "embedded", and has been covering the action, and his cameraman has just gotten a video of a Marine sniper making a kill with his M-24 sniper rifle.
The CNN reporter waits until the Marine and his spotter have stood down, and he goes up to the sniper and sticks the microphone in the sniper's grimy face. "What do you feel when you kill an enemy freedom fighter like that?" the reporter asks the Marine.
The Marine squints some dust from his eyes, looks the reporter up and down, and says, "Recoil, sir."

Maybe someone could ask a reporter someday, "Why do you ask such stupid questions".
I've never understood why they will always ask, "how did you feel when...".

Why are we even affording CNN the protection of an armed escort into the battle? They are there for two reasons only, one is to discredit our military and our country, the other is for the monetary gain of selling the story, both cililian enterprises and as such let CNN independantly provide for the reporters safety.

Islam: "Peaceful" or Not?
There is an interesting artical about Hal Lindsey at World Net Daily that posits that the more a Muslim reads the Quran, the more likely he will become a "radical".
You may dismaiss Hal Lindsey as a "radical/Fundementalist" Christian, but I do believe that his theory should be looked into more closely. And if the correlation can be demonstrated, it should put to rest all the assertions by apologists that "Islam is a peaceful religion".
The fact that 95% of all conflicts in the world today involve Islam as one of the primary antagonists seems to me to lend credence to Mr. Lindsey's theory.
And yes, I'm aware that ANY religion can be used as a basis for launching aggression against non-adherants to that religion, but seemingly, in the last two centurys or so, Islam is the only one to do so.

Terror Strike?
Could there be a major terrorist attack in the US in the next thirty days?
Christopher Brown, an analyst with the CIA, believes so.
He believes that he's discerned a pattern between the release of video statements by Ayman al-Zawahiri, Al Quida's number two leader, and major terorist activity. Mr. Brown posits that the videos are a trigger mechanism to start the countdown on planned terrorist operations.
As he puts it:
Regarding the video release pattern, "once can be an interesting anomaly, twice could be a coincidence, but three times is a pattern,"
This is even more aprepo, when you see the reaction that has ensued since it was revealed that President Bush authorized warrantless wiretapping of communications originating from known associates of terrorism in other countries into the US. These are the methods by which information can be gathered to discover and block a terror attack, yet it seems that many would rather rant about Bush as a Naziesque violater of privacy than to do the things needed to actually try to stop attacks before they occur.
These communications are by their nature ephemeral and not conducive to legalistic manuevers. That great care in effective oversight of such operations to ensure that they don't go past the line is obvious, but the argument has reached hysterical proportions, with partisianship being the base motivator, forgetting that while they argue legalisms, the enemy within is moving, preparing to kill as many of our citizens as possible.
President Bush SHOULD be faulted by allowing our borders to remain as porous to infiltration as they sadly are, but not for doing what was necessary to trying to halt the actions of the infiltrators once here.

According to Brown, if the pattern is correct, it will be by Feb 11. Wanda.
Elections have nothing to do with it.

Another Hero
There are civilian heroes here at home, as well as the usual servicemen doing their turn in the Sandbox. Mr. Kim fits the true definition of a hero, one who risks his own life in the defense of others.

Good work, Mr Kim. But the way the court system operates the hood will have another weapon and be robbing stores again within a couple of weeks. Too damn bad the robber didn't fall on the machete during the chase-point first up his butt.

If you want to give Bush credit when the Dow hits 1100, that's okay by me. Just be sure you give him the same credit when it sinks into the toilet. We both know which happens more often.

I take it your Irony Observation quotient is pretty low, Wanda./taking tongue out of cheek.
Presidents don't have all that much to do with the day to day market...But even YOU must see that praising him for a high market when all the media does is tout economic disaster (despite EVERY normally observed indicator showing the exact opposite), is a delicious turnabout on the "blame Bush" crowd.

"I'm using a cane today, and it's driving the press nuts. (Laughter.) They keep asking my staff what happened to the Vice President, is it serious? And so I said, no, Secretary Rumsfeld bit me in the ankle. (Laughter.) Not to worry. (Laughter.) But don't tell him I said that. (Laughter.) "

Illegal Immigrant Card?
I found this over at GuyK's place, and as a legal immigrant/naturalized citizen myself, I find it particularly poignant:
I think Guy has it right when he opines that one effective way of stemming such immigration is to stop it from the emplyers side by instituting LARGE fines on those that employ illegals. No jobs, no illegals. Simple cause and effect.
It might not stop it totally, there are always those that believe that they will "get away with it", but it would be a large step forward in the border war, not to mention, providing some extra checks preventing terrorists such easy access into the country as they now have.

Excepting for some of us who have Native Americans as ancestors, we all come from immigrants. Immigration is not the problem. It is the illegal immigration and the immigrants who are bankrupting the social welfare system. If there are not enough Americans to do the jobs then work with other countries including Mexico to import guest workers. But the public should keep one thing in mind-no cuntry has ever survived very long by depending on a sub culture of cheap labor. Labor must be paid enough to buy a part of what they produce. I am probably one of the most rabid anti-union people around but I also understand a bit about macro economics.

Guy,
Unions have nothing to do with this. Unions are a business, just like the businesses they work agai...er...with. Unions just produce unhappy workers. That's their job. The fact that unions may have, at one point in their history, gotten pay raises for those workers is purely by accident. Unhappy workers is the goal.
I'm all for immigration, LEGAL immigration. (and, sorry, Guy, the 'Native Americans' aren't 'native', nor are they 'American'. They're immigrants, just like everyone else. Unless you are a Creationist, like me.) A country's wealth is SOLELY determined by the number of inhabitants it possesses, since 100% of the cost of EVERYTHING in the world is labor cost. So, the more workers a country has, the more it can produce. The more it can produce, the more wealth it has. Communism is just a severe retardant on that equation, but, it's still applicable.

Will the Progressives ever realize we're in a WORLD WAR?
HERE IS yet another example of plain speaking by a representative of Islamofacism, outlineing their end goal; nothing less than a world-wide Islamic state under Shar'ia.
Progressives are constantly trying to blame the US and/or "Western Culture" as the cause of the conflict, yet the Islamofacists themselves make no such claims.
They state their end goal clearly enough, as well as continually demonstrate their willingness to commit any act of atrocity in furthurance of that goal:
"Second, install sharia (Islamic law) on the entire Earth and spread Islamic justice there (...). The attacks will not cease until after the victory of Islam and the setting up of sharia," he swore.
~Abu Musab al-Zarqawi (emph. mine D)
HOW'S THIS for "hate speech"?:
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, said in an audio tape put onto the Internet Sunday that rockets had been fired at Israel from Lebanon last month "on the instructions" of the network's overall chief Osama bin Laden.
"The rocket firing at the ancestors of monkeys and pigs from the south of Lebanon was only the start of a blessed in-depth strike against the Zionist enemy"
These are the people that Cindy Sheehan considers "freedom fighters"?!?
Also interesting to note:
"Zarqawi also said the guerrillas had carried out nearly 800 operations against "the crusader forces" since the occupation of Iraq, putting "crusader" casualties at around 40,000 soldiers."
Funny, I thought we had only lost 2038 ? Not to make light of those that paid the ultimate cost of freedom, but thats quite a discrepancy; between 2038 and 40,000....maybe it's some new form of Islamic math?

What makes you think 'progressives' don't realize we're in a war?
I don't see anyone denying we're in the middle of a war. Of course I don't know if you could say 'the middle' because we're in the midst of a war with no end. How do you win the war on terror? By defeating the terrorist. Which considerning we don't know who is and who is not a terrorist and exactly where they're all hiding out, it's pretty much an unending and unwinnable war.
Let me ask you this, how is the idea of spreading Islam throught the world any different than the idea of spreading Christianity? Or democracy for that matter. Of course we think our religion and our idea of government is better. It's OUR's it has to be better. But guess what? Muslims think THEIR's is better. They believe there's is the one true God. Granted, most Christians would never harm anyone in their pursuit of spreading their faith, but one only need look at Pat Robertson and James Dobson to know even Christians have their radicals.
Do you think for one minute that George W. Bush is not as determined and as passionate about his goal of 'spreading democracy' as Abu Musab al-Azrqawi is about spreading Islam? Do you understand they see us as the infidels?
The truth is we are engaged in a war of religion and beliefs. It's becoming increasingly clear that both sides are willing to do ANYTHING to win. That, Delfsman is the realty of the war in which we are in.

Wanda, your idiocy is showing.
The "war" between Islam and civilization was declared about 1200 years ago, by Mohammed.
You also seem to think that spreading "democracy" is a bad thing, and should be halted.
Of course, being a Regressive, you aren't a big fan of individuality, or the rights of the individual to speak for themselves. Dialectic Materialism doesn't allow for individuality. You really should read up on the philosophy that guides your beliefs and actions.
Moron.

"how is the idea of spreading Islam throught the world any different than the idea of spreading Christianity? Or democracy for that matter."
Well Wanda, the difference is that we don't behead those that won't convert, we don't specifically target women and babies with bombs.
Radical Islam is a byproduct of the tyranies that much of the ME lives under, so yes, I do believe spreading democracy is a way to fight terrorism. Democracy can free people that would otherwise BECOME terrorists, because they see no other choice. (yes that is a dream at the moment, but who said dreamers were the exclusive province of the Progressives?; the difference is we don't pretend the dream can be the reality if we just say it is so long and loud enough, we do the nitty gritty, dreary work to prepare the soil so that the dream may blossom.)
".. our idea of government is better. It's OUR's it has to be better. But guess what? Muslims think THEIR's is better."
But ours IS demonstrably better, not just because it's the system WE live under, but because it provides more and better for the greatest number of people. We lament the plight of the "poor" in this country, but that's a relative term..only in America do the poor own cars, have airconditioning, and color tvs, and if a certain Democratic proposal goes through they will soon have computers and broadband access PROVIDED by Uncle Sugar too.
My parents raised 6 kids on $60-75 a week, so I know what it's like to be "poor",but compared to the REAl poor in most of the world, we were living in luxury.
"but one only need look at Pat Robertson and James Dobson to know even Christians have their radicals."
Yeah we DO have our "radicals" and nutjobs, but that's ANOTHER difference between "us' and "them"...here, we laugh at them, there, they follow them as holy men, to the point of strapping semtex on their children at their "holy man's" command and sending them out to kill "infidel" women and children. THERE the president of their country calls Jews the "progenitors of apes and swine", and strangly enough, without one word of approbation from the PC Progressives. I'm sick of the attempts to make moral equivilencies were truly none exist.
"Do you think for one minute that George W. Bush is not as determined and as passionate about his goal of 'spreading democracy' as Abu Musab al-Azrqawi is about spreading Islam?"
I sure HOPE so! Democracy will be the only way to prevent a holocaust the likes of which I don't believe anyone younger than 70 or so can even truly imagine. I have second hand "memories" of the Death Camps and the brutalities of WW2 from my father, who lived it, and I don't think for one moment that what I imagine and "remember" comes even close to the reality
"Do you understand they see us as the infidels?"
I truly believe that the average conservative actually understands that better than the average progressive. you see, WE actually understand what the term means in their context, and understand the depth of what it means to them. All too many progressives just consider it a hollow bargaining position from which to strike a bargain from.
"It's becoming increasingly clear that both sides are willing to do ANYTHING to win. That, Delfsman is the realty of the war in which we are in."
There JUST may be hope for you yet, Wanda. As soon as you come to realize the underlying truths of that statement, we'll be here to welcome you into the fold of a TRUE reality based world. A world where we see it as it truly is; with the HOPE of someday turning it into what we would WISH it to be.

Humble, your response is why I don't comment on more rightwing blogs. You people are incapable of having a civil conversation.
Please tell me how it is that I can be both a regressive and a progressive?
Being a "pro"gressive, I'm a big fan of individuality, and the rights of the individual to speak for themselves. Apparently far more than you are. Since you have no respect for me or my opinions.
Democracy is not a bad thing. But neither is Islam. It is only the radicals on both sides that want to force others to bow to their idea of what is 'right'. If what we're experiencing in this country today is the kind of democracy your talking about, then maybe we should try sweeping around our own back door before we go trying to tell other people how to live their lives.
People of other countries have their own cultures, their own ways of life. The United States has no business trying to force them to bend to our idea of government or religion. It is one thing to defend oneself from those who attack you. It's entirely another to try to force your ideals on others.
I believe to each his own. I believe in the right of every individual to worship as he or she pleases. I believe in the right of free speech and the right to make one's own personal private choices. I believe the government should stay out of my bedroom, my bank account, and my library account.
If there's anyone who's displaying regressive characteristics it's you.
Delftsman, I find it interesting that you would mention the holocaust. I recently read an article by a holocaust survivor who said he was moving back to Germany. Why? Because he said he recognized what what happening here in this country. He'd seen it before. I fear he may be right. I know you don't want to believe that, but the reality is the 'right' of today has more in common with the narrowminded one one deminsional viewpoint of communisim than liberals ever could. Liberals by definition believe in liberation, not repression. Am I a liberal? You bet I am. Am I progressive? Yes sir! Do I support the rights of all granted by our Constitution? Yes I do. Do I think we have the right or responsiblity to force those beliefs on people of other countries? I do not.
Democracy is a great thing. If it's really a democracy.

HDD did paint with too broad a brush when it comes to you Wanda, but when you align yourself with dogs, you're going to suffer fleas.
"I believe in the right of every individual to worship as he or she pleases."
UNLESS they do it in public, of course. THAT might offend someone.
"Do I support the rights of all granted by our Constitution?"
WITH the exception of the 2nd. Amendment. I believe you do think you support the rights in the Constitution (with the one exception above)...even the rights not enumerated in it, but put in place under "emanations of the penumbra" thereof.
"Democracy is a great thing. If it's really a democracy."
One problem there Wanda..we are NOT and were never designed to be a democracy, we are a Republic. The U.S. certainly has it's faults, but it's still the closest thing to goal of individual freedom and opportunity that has ever existed. Only the Progressives seem to think that "if it's not perfect, it must be evil".
"The United States has no business trying to force them to bend to our idea of government or religion. It is one thing to defend oneself from those who attack you."
I would agree with you but for one thing,
Wanda...just WHAT do you do when the end goal of a different culture and/or religion is your utter destruction? THEY say it's their goal. THEY have demonstrated a willingness and an ability to turn their rhetoric into physical action. THEY say that they will continue until they have achieved their goal. EVERY time diplomacy was engaged in, THEY used it as a way to rebuild strength to be able to continue the fight. We gave them money for development and the betterment of their people, and it was used for the benefit of the despots and their arms aquisition programs, even as they continued to build resentments against their benefactors.
There is a time for diplomacy, and there is a time for arms; I don't supppose it's any secret which time I believe it is.

Interestingly enough, Wanda, Delfts' father is a non-Jewish holocaust survivor as well. And given the opportunity to return to Europe, I can truly say he would not avail himself of it.
Second, and this is to all of you from both ends of this situation, please remember that this country does not base its method of governing on Democracy. This is not a democracy by any stretch of the imagination. And I, for one, would rue the day this nation ever becomes one.
A democratically elected Representative Republic is what we live in, regardless of what Miss Smith may have told all of you in the third grade. If we lived in the "Democracy" that so many either believe we have, or that so many more wish we have, we'd be mired in ridiculous votes and referenda on a weekly basis. Do I really want Mob Rule? No, and absent the pitchforks and torches that is what a true Democracy is.
I'll take a pass on that, please. And if that is what your friend wants, Wanda, I wish him well and good luck. He'll never find it, and he'll find himself in fear of the Mob once again. You'd think people would learn, wouldn't you?

Okay, Wanda, you asked for it.
You label yourself a "progressive", but, you are actually a REgressive. Your "ideas" on individuality and governing have already been tried, MANY times in history. Each time, those "ideas" were a colossal FAILURE.
The "progressive" movement is based upon Dialectic Materialism, which is the philosophy created by Karl Marx and Freidrich Engels, which they then used to create the economic model of Communism. DM holds that individuals have NO effect on society, only movements do. Don't believe me? Look it up. Research it. I did.
Individuality is anathema to the "progressive" movement. What are you "progressing" towards? Communism. Communism doesn't recognize the rights of the individual.
In addition, EVERY SINGLE PRIMARY ADVOCATE of "individual rights" in the US since about 1920 has been a Communist. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE! I do not speak of the current Useful Idiots (Stalin's term for you all), but, the philosophers and thinkers who shaped the arguement.
As to your idiocy of "We don't have the right to tell immigrants how to live in the US": Are you aware that Islam allows slavery, the beating of women, forced prostitution, killing of women, counts women as less than half a man, and does not recognize the rights of others to be non-Muslim? And those are just the highlights of it! According to you, Muslims should be allowed to follow THEIR religion, even though it runs counter to our LAWS and culture! What idiocy!
In addition to that, name me ONE country that has prospered without a central cultural identity. JUST ONE!
I'll give you a hint: Find the Austrio-Hungarian Empire on your map sometime, and book a flight there. That should keep you occupied for the rest of your life.

Weird Howard Puts his foot in it ---AGAIN
“There are no Democrats who took money from Jack Abramoff, not one, not one single Democrat. Every person named in this scandal is a Republican. Every person under investigation is a Republican. Every person indicted is a Republican. This is a Republican finance scandal. There is no evidence that Jack Abramoff ever gave any Democrat any money and we’ve looked through all of the F.E.C. reports to make sure that’s true…I know the Republican National Committee would like to get the Democrats involved in this. They're scared. They should be scared. They haven't told the truth. They have misled the American people, and now it appears they're stealing from Indian tribes. The Democrats are not involved in this.”

Lil' Howie proves yet again that he doesn't live in the same world as the rest of us. I just hope that he keeps bloviating though, he's the best thing for the Republican party since they passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. (Another rewrite of history that doesn't seem to be recalled, but that's a different post.)
I blatently stole this from
Wild Thing, only I don't have the cool art work.

Source on those numbers? I've been trying to confirm this and can't find the source.

Steph, check the CBO and the Campaign finance offices, they're all a matter of public record.

WHY didn't I think of this?
Finally, someone has come out with a 100 % bipartisan
political bumper sticker. The hottest selling bumper sticker comes
from New York State:
2008 - "RUN, HILLARY, RUN"
Democrats put it on the rear bumper
Republicans put it on the front bumper.

Bubba
Bubba Knows Everyone!
Bubba was bragging to his boss one day, "You know, I know everyone that there is to know. Just name someone, anyone, and I know them." Tired of his boasting, his boss called his bluff, "OK, Bubba how about Tom Cruise?"
"Sure, yes, Tom and I are old friends, and I can prove it."
So Bubba and his boss fly out to Hollywood and knock on Tom Cruise's door, and sure enough, Tom Cruise, shouts, "Bubba! Great to see you! You and your friend come right in and join me for lunch!"
Although impressed, Bubba's boss is still skeptical. After they leave Cruise's house, he tells Bubba that he thinks Bubba's knowing Cruise was just lucky.
"No, no, just name anyone else," Bubba says.
"President Clinton, "his boss quickly retorts.
"Yes," Bubba says, "I know him, let's fly out to Washington." And off they go.
At the White House, Clinton spots Bubba on the tour and motions him and his boss over, saying, "Bubba, what a surprise, I was just on my way to a meeting, but you and your friend come on in and let's have a cup of coffee first and catch up."
Well, the boss is very shaken by now, but still not totally convinced. After they leave the White House grounds, he expresses his doubts to Bubba, who again implores him to name anyone else.
"The Pope," his boss replies. "Sure!" says Bubba. "My folks are from Poland, and I've known the Pope a long time." So off they fly to Rome.
Bubba and his boss are assembled with the masses in Vatican Square when Bubba says, "This will never work. I can't catch the Pope's eye among all these people. Tell you what, I know all the guards so let me just go upstairs and I'll come out on the balcony with the Pope." And he disappears into the crowd headed toward the Vatican.
Sure enough, half an hour later Bubba emerges with the Pope on the balcony. But by the time Bubba returns, he finds that his boss has had a heart attack and is surrounded by paramedics. Working his way to his boss' side, Bubba asks him, "What happened?"
His boss looks up and says, "I was doing fine until you and the Pope came out on the balcony and the man next to me said, 'Who's that on the balcony with Bubba?'"

New Prayer
My friend Jack sent me this today, and even though I'm an Agnostic, I feel the same outrage at the anti-religion atitude in the government schools indoctrination centers. The only thing that I can affirm is that, as long as there are quizzes, tests, and year end exams, they can never truly get prayer out of school.
Now I sit me down in school
Where praying is against the rule
For this great nation under God
Finds mention of Him very odd.
If Scripture now the class recites,
It violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I bow
Becomes a Federal matter now.
Our hair can be purple, orange or green,
That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.
The law is specific, the law is precise.
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.
For praying in a public hall
Might offend someone with no faith at all
In silence alone we must meditate,
God's name is prohibited by the state.
We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,
And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks.
They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.
To quote the Good Book makes me liable.
We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.
It's "inappropriate" to teach right from wrong,
We're taught that such "judgments" do not belong.
We can get our condoms and birth controls,
Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles.
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,
No word of God must reach this crowd.
It's scary here I must confess,
When chaos reigns the school's a mess.
So, Lord, this silent plea I make:
Should I be shot; My soul please take!
Amen
If you aren't ashamed to do this, please pass this on.
Jesus said, " If you are ashamed of me," I will be ashamed
of you before my Father."
Not ashamed. Passing this on.

Murtha's Comeuppance
Michelle Malkin isolated the video of Rep. Murtha getting his clock cleaned by one of those "demoralized" soldiers he keeps harping about.
The look on Murthas face says it all.

Someone must have incriminating pictures of "Martha."

Walter, I'd say this video would be pretty incriminating, along with video of most of his speeches, with regard to any treason proceedings that might take place.

heh.
I love it when a politician gets verbally mugged by one of the "unwashed masses" or "stupid grunts" they love to condescend to.
hm....gives me an idea...maybe we could organized a Town Hall Meeting Brigade, and just scurry across the country, verbally mugging all these stupid politicians, and making them eat their own words?

Well darn, it won't let me post my comment.
I hope that's going to be a non partisian town hall meeting. Because there are quite a few politicians on both sides (well in all fairness there will be more on one side than the other) that are about to get their comeuppance. Just ask 'the hammer'.

Yeah, Saddam was "just misunderstood"
Yeah, the Left and their "experts" say that Saddam would never have worked with Al Qiada and vice versa.
One group were religious fanatics and Saddam was a secularist, after all....Too bad that the documentation found in Iraq on three Terrorist training camps run by Saddams Elite Republican Guard belie that meme....facts have such a bad habit of ruining a perfectly good meme to use against President Bush..

Do you think they will let something like a fact get in the way of trying to spread it? They knew it was bogus when they started. Their entire strategy is based on hoping enough people who hear the lie never actually hear the truth.

I doubt that this will make the major media but the bloggers will know the truth

Of course the truth is all that really matters. Right?
