“When I was a kid, we said that we were precluded from going to certain neighborhoods because of the color of our skin … Now the neighborhoods are the neighborhoods of ideas, you’re not supposed to be there because … of the color of your skin.” ~ Clarence Thomas
2. And speaking of higher education - - I’m a big zombie fan, but let me tell you, if I found out my sons were wasting their time, and my money, on crap like this while in college, they’d be flipping burgers for a living in a heartbeat.
3. They are calling for a draft. The left that is. Since the beginning of the Iraq War is has always been the Democrats calling for a draft. The military doesn’t want one. Nor does the GOP. Why you ask? Because you can’t have a anti-war movement of any consequence unless you are forcing people to fight it. We aren’t. Our guys and gals want to defend their country, and that pisses off those who want to retreat.
1. Oregon man says he is pregnant. I thought this was some big scientific breakthrough (or more probably a National Enquirer story) until I found out it was just a woman who had chest reconstruction and grew a beard.
2. Nancy Reagan is endorsing McCain. Good news for McCain which can only help his image with the Republican base. What with Obama and Hillary making fools of themselves, McCain is looking better and better.
3. Yeah, that’s what he says in public, but in private you just know da Pope and the Cardinals were exchanging high-fives and doing the baby-circle dance. Take that Mohammad.
5. If you do nothing else today, check out this video and have a good cry. Or at least tear-up like me.
6. And this woman differs from every woman on Earth in exactly what way?
7. Long story short - the Vets for Freedom were giving a presentation to some high school kids in Minnesota. The anti-American, anti-military members morons of the Democratic Underground and some equally suspect parents scared the wimpy principal into cancelling the presentation, so the local community showed up in force to welcome the Vets along with some good kids who skipped school to see them. Good on the community and the kids who skipped school. Shame on the DU, the complaining parents and the school officials who cowed down to this pressure.
1. Welcome to the preview of a Democratic president and congress and say hello to higher taxes. But the money will be for the children, right?
2. Welcome to the world of the Pastor of Barack Hussein and Michelle Obama, a man who is Obama’s acknowledged “spiritual mentor” for 20 years, married the couple, baptized their kids and who’s sermon titled “Audacity of Hope” was the inspiration for Obama’s book of the same name:
“The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing ‘God Bless America.’ No, no, no, God damn America, that’s in the Bible for killing innocent people,” he said in a 2003 sermon. “God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme.”
“We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye,” Rev. Wright said in a sermon on Sept. 16, 2001.
“We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America’s chickens are coming home to roost,” he told his congregation.
Nope, he’s not Obama, but you know darn well that people don’t belong to churches for decades unless they believe what the pastor and the rest of the congregation believes. If they don’t, they leave for other churches. It’s science (not to get into a whole faith/science debate here). And by the way. He raised his kids in this church listening to this crap. What kind of people do that? How good is his raved-about judgement if he does that? And to make things worse - he simply will not dump the guy. He downplays it and says he doesn’t agree but then makes excuses for this racist while at the same time playing the race card on anyone who criticises him about anything. This isn’t the way a man who is supposed to be a “race healer, not a race warrior” should act.
4. Anti-war reporting is helping Iraqi insurgents. Well, duhhh. This war has without a doubt been more difficult, costly, and lasted longer due to the main stream media’s concentration on bad news and anti-war rhetoric rather than good news (of which there has been plenty), pro-American stories, and tales of our many heroes over there. There are so many people here in America who should be ashamed for supporting out enemies this way. Despite this bombardment of bad news, it appears that only 18 percent of Americans think we should withdraw immediately from Iraq. Wow. Americans really do prefer winning over losing.
5. The Tennessee flying saucer house. I’ve seen it in person. It’s pretty cool.
7. More Obama news. Seems he got $1,000,000 in earmarks for the Chicago hospital where his wife is Vice President of Community Affairs. At a sweet salary of $316,962 which is an increase from $121,910 just before her husband was elected to the Senate. Coincidence, I am sure. I’m also sure they are she is worth every penny.
8. And what about that Al Quaeda - Saddam connection? You know the one that Democrats say never existed and Republicans say did, but have been hard-pressed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt? Well, it looks like there was one after all.
Captured Iraqi documents have uncovered evidence that links the regime of Saddam Hussein to regional and global terrorism, including a variety of revolutionary, liberation, nationalist and Islamic terrorist organizations. While these documents do not reveal direct coordination and assistance between the Saddam regime and the al Qaeda network, they do indicate that Saddam was willing to use, albeit cautiously, operatives affiliated with al Qaeda as long as Saddam could have these terrorist-operatives monitored closely. Because Saddam’s security organizations and Osama bin Laden’s terrorist network operated with similar aims (at least in the short term), considerable overlap was inevitable when monitoring, contacting, financing, and training the same outside groups. This created both the appearance of and, in some way, a “de facto” link between the organizations. At times, these organizations would work together in pursuit of shared goals but still maintain their autonomy and independence because of innate caution and mutual distrust. Though the execution of Iraqi terror plots was not always successful, evidence shows that Saddam’s use of terrorist tactics and his support for terrorist groups remained strong up until the collapse of the regime.
There’s no “smoking gun” in this report, but as a criminal and counterintelligence investigator with 24 years experience I can tell you that most cases are made with circumstantial evidence not smoking guns. This is good stuff. There was a connection. Not that any Democrat is ever going to believe it, but there was a connection.
9. It keeps coming back to Obama. This time he voted against his own tax and spending bill. You know, the one he keeps campaigning on. Makes your head spin, I tell ya.
10. I don’t care who she is, no way I would pay this unless I get to play with those hooters. She would also have to promise not to talk all evening.
“Let me say at the outset that I vehemently disagree and strongly condemn the statements that have been the subject of this controversy,” he said in the statement. “I categorically denounce any statement that disparages our great country or serves to divide us from our allies. I also believe that words that degrade individuals have no place in our public dialogue, whether it’s on the campaign stump or in the pulpit. In sum, I reject outright the statements by Rev. Wright that are at issue.”
Took him long enough. And I suppose I should take him at his word, but to be truthful I don’t believe him at all. He had to do this after all the race-cards he had been throwing at Hillary or he wouldn’t be able to throw anymore. Still, politically it lets the MSM off the hook as they can now call the incident over and move on to other things. They hated covering it, the little they did, and this means they concentrate on Hillary and McCain again.
Plus, his statement isn’t all it seems to be. Okay, maybe they are over-analyzing it, but hey, it’s not like he’s the only candidate that has been subject to analyzing. Then again, his distancing himself from Wright was predicted by the parties involved.
Wearing high heels is good for a woman’s sex life.
The sight of stilettos may shoot up a man’s libido. But, if a study is to be believed, wearing high-heel shoes can boost a woman’s sexual desire.
Researchers in Italy have found that wearing higher heels — earlier linked to a range of problems — actually improves a woman’s pelvic floor muscles, thereby boosting her sex life.
“Women often have difficulty in carrying out the right exercises for the pelvic zone and wearing heels could be the solution. It’s good to know they have potential health benefits,” according to lead researcher Dr Maria Cerruto.The researchers analysed a study of 66 women aged under 50 before coming to the conclusion. They found that those who held their foot at a 15 degree angle to the ground had as good posture as those who wore flat shoes, and crucially showed less electrical activity in the pelvic muscles, an essential component of female body.
A related study disclosed evidence that edible panties help lower cholesterol.
