Due to the increasing popularity of corn as a base for the fuel ethanol, as well as its continuing demand as food, corn crop plantings are being increased by 19%, according to this AP article.
[It's a] boom has been fueled by sky high corn prices, a result largely attributed to rising production of corn-based ethanol. Corn futures in electronic trading on the Chicago Board of Trade was trending higher, with corn for July delivery up 8 cents to $3.48 a bushel.
Obviously there's a lot of money to be made.
While the popularity of ethanol is in response to concerns about Middle Eastern oil supplies, it's not necessarily all it's cracked up to be. This Business Week article points out the problems with ethanol, including its inefficiency when compared with oil, and its propensity for pollution.
My question to you: when will corn farms start being labeled as "greedy corporate interests" in the same way that oil companies are now?
I know this doesn't mean a lot to you coming from a pinko like myself, but those who worry about these things have a HUGE problem with the corn industry. The government gives gigantic insentives for farmers to plant more and more corn. That's why buying all the bastardized corn based products in the grocery store (sodas, chips, cookies -- anything with corn syrup or corn oil) is so very much cheaper than buying fruits, vegetables, meats, or most other grains. You know, real food. This means that poorer people become obese, with the result that those with the least insurance are more likely to need health care. It also means that buying corn from US is cheaper than, for example, Mexico growing it on their own. As this was/is a staple of their diet, millions of farmers went out of business, which leads to (guess what?) increased illegal immigration. Now that corn prices are going up and their are few corn farmers in Mexico to make up the need -- you guessed it -- more illegal immigration. So, yes "greedy corporate interests" indeed, although I can't believe we actually agree on something. :)

Rather than taking food out of people's mouths and putting it in the gas tank, it might be a little more efficient just to overrule the ecokooks and lighten restrictions on oil drilling off the coast and in Alaska.
Soak corn in the husk in lightly sugared water for three hours:
Place husks over red-hot coals for eight to ten minutes ( NOT direct flame 8-10" up from coals) and turn whole husks repeating time until husk gets a dark brown.
Remove: Pull back husk and test kernals.
Peel Husk back
Dip The corn ( not the husk, Progressive) in a 10-12" deep coffee can of melted butter and garlic
Cover buttered corn in table salt and fine black pepper
Repeat the process - Pick your teeth when sated.
Eat like a Patriot!
Eat like a patriot, die like a patriot - patriotism being the last refuge of a scoundrel, to put it mildly, and to para-phrase Samuel Addams.

Look folks, bio-fuels have been available all along. You can run a Diesel Engine on peanut oil, or left over oil from cafes. You could run your car on olive oil. The combustion engine was invented before the discovery of crude oil!!!!!
And of course you know that Mr. Diesel, an excellent swimmer, died from drowning in an inch of water. You do know that, right?
You big sillys could have run your car on corn oil all along. Think of the independence from Arabs. We could have told the Saudis to go f themselves a long time ago, were it not for the Bush Family ties to the Saudis, who finance them.

Progressives! I am putting together a think tank of eco-friendly scientists, gear-heads, Nascar enthusiasts and Patogonia catalog junkies to build a car that runs on Noam Chomsky - on; over; reverse and repeat.

Mudkitty,
It is; yes, it is. Progressives have all the good humor and 'aw, shucks' sweet nature of a rib-tickling Taliban gab fest and buffet after one those great celebrations of diversity - the beheading of women out of dress code. Those folks are a scream!
Chicagoans of Irish descent, such as myself, have thinking manner that others call rambling.
Pat's quite knowledgeable on Illinois politics, and yes, we have our ethanol lobby here. Not only are there a lot for corn farms in the Land of Lincoln, but ethanol behometh Archer Daniels Midland is based in downstate Illinois.
In point of fact, Congressman Jesse Jackson - Kid Staples - (D) IL is working overtime - well he says that he is anyway - to pave over the richest soil in America.
His Abraham Lincoln Airport Boon doggle that will enrich himself, The Family, and a group of Elmhurst Lawyers ( Republicans BTW) wants to put flawed runways over farmland in Peotone and Beecher townships.
This site has been laughed at by FAA and most other people who have more than 20Watt intellects.
Illinois is a great agricultural treasure: developers and hucksters and their Progressive pals would see it go otherwise.
Hey Aaron, no where near 50 posts. I only respond to snotty, stupid and unprovoked comments made by dim-bulbs. Otherwise, I am a Kitty cat.
Thanks Pat: I forgot to add that these ethanol plants are located in rural areas that are struggling to keep young people from moving away--due to a lack of jobs. This strengthens their hands, especially in the senate, where rural states have a bigger say.
More on ethanol's downside: Drought and plant disease.
In one of her finest columns to date, Noonan discusses a major difference between the immigrants to America today and the immigrants of yesterday. A snippet:
A problem with newer immigrants now is that for some it's no longer necessary to make The Decision. They don't always have to cast their lot. There are so many ways not to let go of the old country now, from choosing to believe that America is only about money, to technology that encourages you to stay in constant touch with the land you left, to TV stations that broadcast in the old language. If you're an immigrant now, you don't have to let go. Which means you don't have to fully join, to enmesh. Your psychic investment in America doesn't have to be full. It can be provisional, temporary. Or underdeveloped, or not developed at all.
And this may have implications down the road, and I suspect people whose families have been here a long time are concerned about it. It's one of the reasons so many Americans want a pause, a stopping of the flow, a time for the new ones to settle down and settle in. It's why they oppose the mischief of the Masters of the Universe, as they're being called, in Washington, who make believe they cannot close our borders while they claim they can competently micromanage all other aspects of immigration.
And exactly the kind of thing I've been fuming about for the past few years while we've had Mexican flags flown in our faces by millions of arrogant immigrants. Speaking as someone who's only a second generation American (my grandparents came here from Italy and Lithuania), I have taken great interest recently in exploring my roots. But nowhere in my family's past do I find that my ancestors refused to learn English or to be part of the American culture they worked so hard to join. My family applied for citizenship and became Americans, it's not that hard. Others can do the same. Or go back from whence they came if they're so proud of their previous country.
What's wrong with a Mexican flag? What's wrong with flags? Or do you guys just use flags as an excuse to fight.
There's no difference between the bigotry of now and the "then" that crazy Noonan writes about.

Mudkitty,
Flags are cool. Italian, Irish, Polish, Mexican, Israeli, Danish, or Tonganese are fine on celebrate ethnic diversity day in our neighborhoods.
Refusing to join with all the other flag wavers who hold the American flag higher than the one of their ancestry is dumb.
It is not a stamp of ethnic pride to be left in the dust and wait several generations for the ACLU to sue your place in American life - that is just dumb.

Muddy,
You got us rolling on lawns here in Chicago! Keep that sap flowing!
This video clip of Sen. Arlen Specter (RINO-PA) speaking about the "silent majority" who must obviously be in favor of the amnesty bill, which failed cloture earlier today. You people who faxed, e-mailed, and phoned your senators about your displeasure? A minority, obviously.
Allahpundit's headline says it all: The people at my gym told me they liked the bill, says Specter
I'm sorry I missed you at the gym the other day, Senator; I was probably at work.
What a repulsive elitist. And Congress wonders why its approval ratings are in the toilet? Wyatt, this man is YOUR senator!!!
I'm SO glad to see that everyone who called their Senators and Representatives have succeeded in squashing this heinous bill. It's nice to see the good guys win every once in a while.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Despite low approval ratings and hard feelings from last year's elections, Democrats and Republicans in the House are reaching out for an approximately $4,400 pay raise that would increase their salaries to almost $170,000.
The cost-of-living raise endorsed Wednesday evening gets lawmakers back on track for automatic pay raises after a fight between the parties last year and again in January killed the pay increase due this year. That was the first interruption of the annual congressional pay boost in seven years.
They have the crummiest job rating ever, and they're asking to get their automatic pay raise reinstated?
This part is rich:
Most members support the pay raise as a means of retaining experienced lawmakers and of making sure that Congress is not simply dominated by wealthy people. Many lawmakers maintain homes both in the expensive Washington housing market and back in their districts. On most days, they meet with lobbyists making far more than they do.
Take a look at these congressional perks and tell me if you think these guys are suffering.
If I do a rotten job at work, I don't get a raise. In fact, I may get fired. If Congress does a rotten job, they can still vote themselves a pay raise. Something's wrong here.
Yeah, working with people who make more than you do is just SUCH a difficult burden to bear. Please - right now I'm sitting outside the office of someone who makes roughly 10 times what I do, and that's just salary; doesn't count bonuses and other perks.
It's called being adequately compensated for the job you are doing. Oh wait, if we apply that to Congress then they should be making less than minimum wage, since they are doing a less than minimum kind of job for their employer - the United States citizens. And yes, that is CITIZENS, not citizen-wannabes.
Since my mother has lived under Hitler's rule as a youth in Germany and has been an American citizen for over 40 years, I shall have to ask her to tell me the similarities she sees between the two as I am sure there are many...NOT!
What a crazy argument! I try to listen to both sides but in this instant, the argument being presented that Bush is Worst than Hitler is just plain lunacy!
Another great article, Pam! Keep up the good work!
I am a Democrat and did not vote for the President; I would knock the I-Pod off of my son if I ever heard him refere to the President as anything but the President or President Bush.
In recent days I have cast full support to Senator John McCain, as I believe he is the one man in this country who can lead in time of War.
Plenty of his critics have villainized his support of Immigration Reform. Now that it is dead perhaps we can all get back to the real specter of Islamist Terrorism and the safety of our young men and women in uniform.
God Bless America and the President of the United States!
Snark: Hannity Shows Voinovich Up in Amnesty Debate
(Scroll down for update...)
On today's radio show, Sean Hannity caused Sen. George Voinovich (R-OH) to get hot under the collar. The man who made sure we all knew he's been in the business of legislating for "40 years!" wouldn't answer many of Hannity's questions directly, pretty much accused him of being a bully, and ended up hanging up in a huff. Hot Air helpfully provides the audio.
As Aaron said in an e-mail, it's embarrassing. The man didn't even seem to have a full handle on what he'll be voting on! And I know not everyone is a fan of Hannity's style, but if Voinovich couldn't handle himself without shouting accusations and evading questions, then what does that say about his debating points? Hannity was prepared with questions based on the bill's facts, and Voinovich essentially ran away. Not impressive behavior from an elder statesman.
Since Voinovich is the media's new darling, along with Sen. Richard Lugar (R-IN), because of his recent calls for the US to start pulling out of Iraq, don't be surprised if he gets sympathetic treatment from the usual suspects during tomorrow's news cycle for having been "jumped on" by Hannity.
Forty years, eh? Maybe it's time for the good senator to think about hitting the golf course -- permanently.
The fate of U.S. immigration legislation was cast into doubt when at least six senators who helped revive the proposed overhaul said they either oppose or are leaning against a move to permit a vote on final passage.
The measure is in more jeopardy ``than I thought a few hours ago,'' said Senator Christopher Dodd, a Connecticut Democrat.
The supporters' strategy of disposing of amendments that threatened the legislation's bipartisan support hit a procedural snag late in the day, adding to the uncertainty. The Senate refused to set aside an amendment by Montana Democrats Max Baucus and Jon Tester that would dilute requirements employers verify the identity of new workers.
Under Senate rules, Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, now can't move to consider other provisions without getting the consent of all 100 senators.
``I think this hurts'' the measure, said Texas Republican John Cornyn, an opponent.
I'm surprised Dodd, who's busy running a pathetic presidential campaign, was even around long enough to have any idea! Sorry, had to get that dig in.
Tony Blair is now the former Prime Minister of Britain. He made a final speech before the House of Commons this morning. His successor, Treasury chief Gordon Brown, takes control of the reins as of today.
While he is known for his unfortunate social liberalism (he has helped usher in Britain's ever-growing nanny state status), Blair has been a steadfast friend to the US during difficult times. Not once has he backed down from his decision to ally with us in Afghanistan and Iraq. In fact, he used this morning's speech to confirm that:
Blair also used the session to say he was sorry for the perils faced by British troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, but he gave no apology for his decisions to back the United States in taking military action.
Blair expressed condolences to the families of the fallen, this week including two in Iraq and one in Afghanistan.
"I am truly sorry about the dangers that they face today in Iraq and Afghanistan," Blair said.
"I know some may think that they face these dangers in vain; I don't and I never will. I believe they are fighting for the security of this country and the wider world against people who would destroy our way of life," he said.
"Whatever view people take of my decisions, I think there is only way view to take of them: they are the bravest and the best," Blair added.
I know I wish Tony Blair only the best in the years to come. He stuck by us through thick and thin. Whether Gordon Brown will, or whether he will choose to let this unique trans-Atlantic friendship wither on the vine, remains to be seen.
Thanks for everything, Tony! (AP photo/Tom Hevezi)
A bill that would have allowed the children of illegal immigrants living in Connecticut to pay the same in-state tuition fees as residents may have died with Gov. M. Jodi Rell's veto Tuesday.
"This bill does not address the underlying problem that these students face that they are not legal residents of the United States," the governor said. "The requirement that students file an application to legalize their status would, in essence, be notification to the government that they are here illegally and it would greatly increase the likelihood of their deportation."
[...]
"I understand that these students are not responsible for their undocumented status, having come to the United States with their parents," the governor said. "The fact remains that these students and their parents are here illegally and neither sympathy nor good intentions can ameliorate that fact."
Rell said the most prudent step is to "wait for resolution at the federal level" as to issues involving illegal immigration.
Rell does have some liberal social tendencies, hence her worry that applying for a tuition break would cause the students to be deported. But she did the right thing regardless, and I'm very pleased.
There is a chance the veto could be overridden. A two-thirds majority vote is needed. But this won't go away even if the veto holds, as Rep. Felipe Reinoso, D-Bridgeport, said he will reintroduce it in that case.
Reinoso is a naturalized citizen from Peru. I'm rather surprised that someone who followed the rules would be looking for breaks for those who didn't...
"After five years of opposing most assertions of government power to fight terrorism, these liberals are ready to wield it to fight conservative talk radio. After maintaining that the First Amendment protects nude dancing, they are ready to argue that it doesn't quite apply to people broadcasting conservative views over the airwaves." ~ Rich Lowry on leftwing proposals to re-establish the Fairness Doctrine.
It'd be a Pyrrhic victory for the Dems. The networks would sue, and probably win in court. And the listeners to talk radio would drag themselves and any sympathetic voter to polling places and throw the Dems out.
It's not looking good, and as Michelle says, "Republican leaders will have to answer for this." They're the ones who hopped on to this disgraceful bill, and we need to make sure they pay for it come election time.
Everyone who voted for cloture must be voted out of office, even if they vote against the actual bill — I mean especially if they vote against the actual bill, since that would show them to be all the more duplicitous and cowardly.
John Gibson rakes Peter "At Least Stalin and Hitler Meant Well" Mehlman over the coals. Hot Air has the audio, and it's worth the listen to hear Mehlman "um" and "er" as Gibson rips his so-called reasoning to shreds.
Mehlman, who coined "yada yada yada" (the phrase made famous on Seinfeld) may want to stick to that comedy writing thing and leave foreign policy critiques to the adults.
Thompson, preparing to formally announce his candidacy, leads the pack in the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey with 27% support. That gives him a four-point advantage over former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani who is currently preferred by 23% of Likely Primary Voters. A week ago, it was Thompson 28% and Giuliani 27%. Two weeks ago, they were tied at 24%. Prior to that time, Giuliani had been on top in every weekly Rasmussen Reports poll for five months
Thompson leads Giuliani by 13 percentage points among conservative primary voters while Giuliani leads among moderates.
Among Republicans, 74% now have a favorable opinion of Giuliani. Thats down from 82% in late May. Twenty-three percent (23%) of Republican voters have an unfavorable opinion of the former Mayor. Thompsons numbers among the GOP faithful have been moving in the opposite direction. Sixty-six percent (66%) of GOP voters have a favorable opinion of the actor while just 18% have an unfavorable view.
Among those with more strongly held opinions, Thompson currently has an edge --21% of Republicans have a Very Favorable opinion of him while 14% have a Very Unfavorable opinion. For Giuliani, those numbers are 18% Very Favorable opinion and 19% Very Unfavorable.
I still like Rudy and would support him wholeheartedly if he were to be nominated, but Fred is looking more and more like the man for me in the primaries. No wonder the Democrats aren't pulling any punches with a man who has yet to formally announce his candidacy!
It is interesting that the Dems have their panties in a knot over a man who hasn't formally declared his candidacy yet. And the only thing they can seem to do is focus on his past, as if that is any indication of his future performance. The fact that he is a relative political outsider may definitely make him a more attractive candidate to a country weary of "professional politicians".
And I'm with you - I like Guiliani as well and would support his candidacy. But I'm hoping it will be all Fred, all the time.
It seems George Clooney's ego knows no bounds. He attributes an increase in tourism, along with a plan to build parking lots and a promenade on the beach in Laglio, Italy (off Lake Como), to his owning a villa there.
"My concern is that this village that has stood for hundreds of years would be destroyed simply because I happened to have lived there for the last six years. I told my neighbors that I would do what they wanted. And it seemed that they didn't want to demolish the harbor where all the local fishermen keep their boats," Clooney said.
He's participating in a protest against the project. If he really thinks his presence is contributing to the unpopular development, why doesn't he sell the villa and stop spending time in Laglio?
But then, that would require sacrifice on Clooney's part...something many pampered celebs aren't particularly good at.
Public secondary schools in Britain will be told to stop teaching traditional lessons and replace them with "month-long interdisciplinary projects on topics such as global warming." Forget the basics. Let's do projects instead!
This comes on the heels of some British schools dropping Holocaust studies for fear of offending Muslim students.
I shudder to think how prepared for the world British students will be. And I shudder to think that our schools might latch on to this ridiculous trend.
The states are becoming more and more frustrated with the federal government's inability or refusal to deal with the problem of illegal aliens, and according to this WaPo article, there are a number of them willing to do something about it. Among those states considering or enacting legislation:
*Oklahoma passed a law restricting illegals' access to all forms of official ID, barring them from receiving public assistance, and is handing out fines to employers who hire them. Nebraska and Idaho are considering similar legislation.
*Michigan lawmakers have considered taking away health and welfare benefits from illegals.
*In Arizona, a proposal is on the table that would allow police to ask people they arrest about their citizenship status, and if they cannot produce documentation, seize them and hold them until they can be deported.
*Virginia approved a proposal to strip charities and other organizations of state and local funding if the money is used to provide services to illegals.
*Maryland legislators defeated a proposal that would have allowed illegals to pay in-state college tuition, and they are currently considering putting a 5% surcharge on wire money transfers to Mexico.
Meanwhile, our federal government hasn't figured out that the majority of Americans are sick and tired of their gross mishandling of the illegal alien problem. They live in a bubble in Washington DC. I'm looking forward to the day when that bubble pops.

Worldview: How Bad is Anti-Americanism and Anti-Europeanism?
Has George W. Bush provoked the current anti-American sentiment so prevalent in Europe these days? And what about anti-European sentiments here? The show Worldview, showcased on 18 Doughty Street, takes on that question. Here's a five-minute clip:
Nancy Pelosi and her staff support the troops. Really! But which troops? Liberty Dog found a photo of a soldier and a doctor on Pelosi's website, accompanying a headline touting better healthcare for our military. Can you see what's wrong with it?
Peter Franklin Paul, who has launched a civil fraud suit against Hillary and Bill Clinton, released a tape to World Net Daily. On the tape, we hear Hillary's unmistakable nasal tones on speaker phone thanking Paul, Stan Lee, and others for their work on her behalf for a Hollywood gala that was intended to raise money for Clinton's first Senate run.
Refresher on the suit:
Paul's complaint charges President Clinton destroyed his entertainment company to get out of a $17 million deal in which Clinton promised to promote the firm in exchange for stock, cash options and massive contributions to his wife's 2000 campaign. Paul contends he was directed by the Clintons and Democratic Party leaders to foot the bill for the Hollywood event.
For the past six years, Hillary has been denying any involvement in the planning, because any such involvement would mean Paul's donations were a direct contribution to her Senate campaign, a violation of federal statutes regarding "hard money" contributions.

When a presidential candidate receives 1% (or less) in various polls, he needs to do something -- anything -- to get voters to notice him. And so Chris Dodd has enlisted the aid of Paul Simon to help entertain voters when he heads to Iowa in early July.
Why Paul Simon, famous for his '60s music-making with Art Garfunkle (Bridge Over Troubled Water) and later solo works (Kodachrome and You Can Call Me Al)?
"Paul is a long time friend," [Dodd] said, "and one of the most important voices in American music, and he has been tireless in his service to the greater good of people throughout our country and the world."
I doubt even Simon's musical talents will breathe new life into this sinking campaign, but you can't blame Dodd for trying just about anything. Any port in a storm, as the saying goes. And if voters find Dodd a bit dull, at least they can enjoy the music.
He's hoping Paul Simon will excite the voters...
best of luck!
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will not be permitted to use State Department funds to travel to nations that are known to have sponsored terrorism if a Republican amendment to appropriations legislation passes the House on Thursday.
The amendment to the $34 billion State and Foreign Operations bill, offered by Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), prohibits funds to be used to travel to Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan or Syria.
King believes Pelosi violated
the Logan Act, a 1799 law signed by President John Adams that prohibits unauthorized U.S. citizens from interfering with relations between the United States and foreign governments.
Will it pass? Who knows? But I'm glad someone decided to take some action.
Deskiewicz and Castro say they do not think of green weddings as a fad and wanted to incorporate only elements that reflect sustainability in a responsible way. Instead of toss-aside party favors, they are giving departing guests small jars of honey from Ritchie's Honey Farm in Manassas. The caterer will set up a recycling station on-site. Organic fair-trade coffee will be served. Leftover food will be donated to a homeless shelter.
But there are limits: "I did go ahead with a regular dress," Deskiewicz says. She chose a silk wedding gown rather than one made of hemp (though those are indeed available, for $329, at http://www.rawganique.com).
So, are they going to be really serious about this, by being celibate on their honeymoon? That way they don't contribute as much carbon dioxide during periods of heavy breathing. Or they can practice holding their breath during honeymoon activities.
Or maybe they can just buy "Sex carbon credits" to offset the extra carbon dioxide.
We've been hearing a lot lately about the rights of animals. A couple of out-there examples include Knut, the polar bear in a German zoo had his rights "abused" because the zoo decided to have a human raise him when his mother rejected him; and since chimpanzees share 97% of our genetic makeup, they therefore deserve the same rights humans enjoy.
Now, a group called Earthjustice has submitted a paper to the UN Human Rights Council that essentially says the environment has rights too.
The 2007 Environmental Rights Report reviews recent developments and case studies demonstrating the connection between the environment and human rights at the international, regional, and domestic levels. The report also provides a comprehensive list of national constitutional provisions protecting environmental rights.
"We are happy to report that 118 national constitutions across the globe now recognize the right to a clean and healthy environment," said Rosaleen O'Gara of Earthjustice. "Unfortunately, violations of environmental rights continue to mount for millions of people. The disruptions caused by global warming are just the latest example of such violations. With this report we hope all international, regional, and national institutions will understand that 'the right to life, liberty and security of person' and other rights established in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights often depend on a healthy environment."
Don't get me wrong. I'm all for promoting a clean and healthy environment whenever possible. But I do question the idea of environmental "rights," as that opens up a nasty can of worms just right for the Al Gore crowd. When the rights of a tree become just as, if not more than, important than the rights of a human, where to we go next?
Why are Westerners so insecure about everything that is so wonderful about the West: political freedom, free press, freedom of expression, equal rights for women and men and gays and heterosexuals, critical thinking, and the great strength of scrutinizing ideas - and especially faith? ... If we do not understand the differences between Islam and the West - why one is so great and the other so low - and we don't fight back and win this battle of ideas in order to preserve our civilization, in my view there is no point to your profession [journalism] or mine." ~ Ayaan Hirsi Ali, advocate for women's rights in Islamic cultures
Taliban "Graduation" Leader Swapped for Italian Hostage
ABCNews.com's The Blotter has an update on their exclusive story of the recent Taliban "graduation ceremony":
The Taliban military commander [Mansoor Dadullah] who led the "graduation ceremony" for 300 suicide bombers was one of five men released from an Afghanistan prison earlier this year in exchange for a kidnapped Italian journalist.
[...]
Journalist Daniel Mastrogiacomo was kidnapped along with his interpreter and driver by Taliban fighters in early March.
A hostage trade was negotiated, in part by an Italian-run hospital organization, for his release in exchange for the release of five senior Taliban commanders that were in the custody of the Afghan federal government.
As Noel Sheppard noted, this story has gotten short shrift from the rest of the mainstream media.
Meanwhile, there continues to be plenty of coverage of the unfortunate deaths of seven children in Afghanistan during a US-led airstrike aimed at killing al-Qaeda operatives.
Is it possible that the Afghan children were killed because the Taliban purposely used them as human shields? Why isn't it commonly realized that these Muslim Extremists surround themselves with innocent civilians when they fight?
Of course it's possible...in fact, I'd bet on it. But that sort of possibility is not generally considered in elite media circles. It just wouldn't support their agenda.
An Open Letter to George Bush, Lindsey Graham, John McCain, et al
My blogging friend Reverse Vampyr wrote an open letter to our Republican leaders who are backing the amnesty bill. Brilliant:
Stop with the ridiculous posturing and harumphing. ENFORCE THE LAWS WE ALREADY HAVE before you dare to ask us for 4.4 BILLION DOLLARS to fund new laws you know you'll never enforce.
It's disgusting enough that the Republican party has been asleep at the wheel when it comes to illegal immigration. But it turns my stomach to watch as you get in bed with the likes of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senator Ted Kennedy as you attempt to transmogrify 20 million lawbreakers into legal voters.
Read the whole thing here. He tells it like it is.
The upcoming Die Hard movie starring Bruce Willis entitled Live Free or Die Hard is being hyped both here at home and abroad. The Brussels Journal located both the US movie poster and the European one, and they ask you if you can find the differences between the two.
The first 50 readers to correctly identify the differences get a "get out of shari'a free" card. (Okay, I made that part up.)

Former Tennessee senator Fred Thompson is seriously considering entering the race for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination. (An official announcement is expected in early July.) Within the past several months, weve seen public sentiment on the right go from Fred who? to Run, Fred, run! While leftwing bigwigs scoff at the notion of another conservative actor/politician with down home appeal, more and more people on the right are becoming intrigued by the idea of casting a vote that could very well put Thompson in the White House. FredMania is taking conservatives by storm. What exactly is it that makes his potential candidacy so tempting?
Melanie Morgan, conservative talk show host and chairman of MoveAmericaForward.org, is able to describe much of Thompsons attraction in one sentence:
Unlike the current crop of declared Republican and Democrat candidates, who have spent years plotting and scheming about how they could win their way to the White House, Fred Thompson is truly being drafted to run by people who are sick of abandoned principles and lack of a moral center.
So many presidential candidates have been dreaming of sitting behind that big desk in the Oval Office since they were knee high to a grasshopper, that its refreshing to learn that Thompson is getting involved so that he can make a difference. After all, he quit a successful acting gig in order to give his candidacy a serious chance. Its not like he was at loose ends with nothing else to do except make a run for president. Yes, there is likely some ego involved in his decision, but thats to be expected if he plans to put himself on a pedestal for the American public to knock down should they so choose. But from what we can tell, its not the ego driving Thompsons quest, but a true desire to serve something we have come to expect less and less from our politicians.
Telling it like it is
Jay Leno asked Thompson if he wanted to be president when he appeared on The Tonight Show on June 12. Thompsons answer? Ive never craved the job of president, but I want to do some things that only a president can do. So the answer is yes.
A direct answer! We arent used to such straight talk from our elected leaders, who often speak out of both sides of their mouths in order to please everyone (and usually end up pleasing no one but themselves). Camille Paglia calls Thompson phlegmatically pithy with a homespun act [that] feels tired and looks tired. Perhaps it seems that way to limousine liberals, who shudder delicately at the idea of anything that has a whiff of what Paglia calls vintage 1910 small town life. But many of us prefer the homespun candidate to one whose slick exterior likely hides more than it enhances.
Thompson has also been compared to Ronald Reagan, a man dubbed the great communicator. Part of being a great leader is being able to get your ideas across to the people. Unfortunately, President George W. Bush is found wanting in this crucial category (and Im not talking about how he mangles the occasional word like nuclear). If the people dont know exactly what it is their president wants to accomplish and why, they arent very likely to play along. Thompsons ability to make us feel comfortable as he explains his vision for a better America will certainly work for him, not against him, no matter what leftists like Camille Paglia think about his so-called homespun act.
Thompson has slyly asserted himself as the easy going but tough guy of the right who also happens to be media savvy, more John Wayne than Reagan. And oddly enough in American politics, it all strikes many of us as genuine.
But he isnt qualified!
Much of the complaining we hear about Thompson is that he doesnt have the qualifications needed to be president: he hasnt run anything, nor did he sponsor any major legislation when he was in the Senate. If thats the case, then the three top Democrat contenders should step down immediately! True, Thompson is not what one would call a Washington insider. But isnt it that whole incestuous you scratch my back, Ill scratch yours atmosphere in D.C. that has Americans in an uproar? Current Congressional approval ratings of 27% are lower than that of the president. As a former senator, Thompson must have a fair idea how Washington works but he has not held office since 2002, which helps label him as more of an outsider. (Another Republican candidate who is running as an outsider is former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani.)
Other Thompson detractors say they dont know anything about him other than his abbreviated resume of lawyer, lobbyist, senator and actor. Obviously they havent been reading his online commentary on sites like TownHall.com and his radio commentary on ABCRadio.com. Where Thompson stands on the issues is easy to find if you know where to look.
On the issues
One of the biggest concerns of our time is national security, and Iraq could be described as the litmus test of our commitment to it. During an interview with Peter Robinson of the Hoover Institution, Thompson said the following about our involvement in Iraq:
How we come out of that and how were viewed by friend and foe alike is going to impact our stability and our freedom for a long, long time in this country. So we ought to be very, very careful about the decisions we make in terms of precipitously pulling out of there or wholesale pulling out of there before theres any stability.
During the same interview, he also said he would increase military and homeland security spending, as well as revamp our intelligence capabilities. Thankfully, Thompson does not seem to be the kind of man to dance to the tune of cut-and-run Democrats like Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. Stability in the Middle East may seem like a pipe dream these days, but its imperative that Iraq not be turned over to al-Qaeda and Iranian interests, which it surely would if we pulled out before the country could defend itself against such deadly interlopers.
Thompson also advocates lower tax rates and overturning Roe v. Wade, turning abortion legislation back over to the states. These are two matters near and dear to many a conservative heart.
The bottom line
From the interview with Peter Robinson, we get a glimpse of how Thompson views himself as a candidate versus his Republican rivals. His comments also say a lot about the man himself:
Its not about me or them, its about the country. Having another good man in the race is not going to hurt our country, and at the end of the day the people will make that decision. It has to do with your view, it has to do with your electability. I will happily abide by what they [the American people] decide and well be together in November.
For some conservatives, its the candidate who most embodies their core values, including national security, taxes and abortion. For others, its who can beat whomever the Democrats nominate. Does Thompson fit both of these conditions? Since he hasnt declared himself as an official candidate, we can only speculate based upon his past actions as a senator, writings, speeches and interviews. Yet even this week, he traveled to Britain to meet with former prime minister Margaret Thatcher and deliver a speech entitled Strengthening the Transatlantic Alliance to the Policy Exchange. He is also said to be planning a trip to Israel later in the year.
July cant come soon enough for Fred Heads, the nickname for Thompsons admiring supporters. If and when he makes it official, well be able to get a better idea as to whether or not Fred Thompson will be the man to beat in November of 2008.
South of the Border Illegals Set Fires to Avoid Detection
Illegal aliens, including drug smugglers, are setting wildfires so that they can cross the border undetected while the fires are being dealt with.
At least five fires were set below a Border Patrol observation post during the operation in an effort to burn the agents out, according to a Forest Service report. The fires were extinguished, and no one was arrested.
Wildfires are being set by alien and drug smugglers, authorities said, to create a diversion in an attempt to gain undetected access across the border. The fires correspond to a dramatic rise in assaults against Border Patrol agents -- up more than 100 percent over last year.
Thanks to Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean being sentenced to federal prison for shooting a drug smuggler in the rear end, we now have a rise in assaults against agents, as well as destruction to nature and a corresponding waste in manpower and other resources to fight the fires. Nice.
But they're just a bunch of hardworking people who really, really want to be part and parcel of America, right?
The latest Gallup/USA Today poll ties Fred Thompson with John McCain for the Republican nomination, with Rudy Giuliani still on top. Awesome!
One of the publicly humiliated Duke lacrosse players is planning on filing a civil suit against recently disbarred, former Durham district attorney Mike Nifong. Nifong's statements during his hearing last week that he still feels "something happened in that bathroom" at that infamous party made it "difficult" for Reade Seligmann to feel any kind of sympathy for him. Good. The big question is, however, will Seligmann be able to collect if he wins? With his profession stripped from him, Nifong will be hard pressed to make a living, let alone pay a civil settlement. Ah well, if you play with fire, prepare to get burned. (I hear McDonald's may be hiring.)
Al Gore is upset that Paris Hilton is getting more press than global warming fears. "The planet is in distress and all of the attention is on Paris Hilton. We have to ask ourselves what is going on here? Translation: "Paris Hilton is getting more attention than me. What is going on here?" Look, I find all Paris, all the time news cycles annoying as well, and lament that more people know about what's going on with her than in Gaza, for example. However, I will make the exception in that anything which takes away some of the ill-deserved spotlight from hypocrite Al Gore's proclamations that we must all make sacrifices (except him and his celebrity friends) to "save" the earth is a good thing. Go Paris!
CNN is reporting that conservative bloggers are in "full revolt" over the "comprehensive immigration reform" bill that is being brought back from the dead like Frankenstein's monster. (h/t Tim B.) Well, duh! The nutshell version of our complaint is secure the border and get a handle on the visa system first; we can worry about who's here afterward. But I have to wonder if it's such a good thing that the left-leaning MSM is now on to the fact that we're unhappy with President Bush and Republican leadership in general...
Finally, in case you're suffering for the latest news on Paris Hilton, she gave her father a homemade Father's Day card, crafted with love behind bars. Poor Rick Hilton, unable to hug Paris because she's behind glass during his visits. Geraldo Rivera was all over it like sauce on pasta yesterday. Neil Boortz put it best:
Yes .. yesterday was Father's day. Just how many sons and daughters had to spend the day thinking about their fathers serving in harm's way in Iraq and Afghanistan. Some of these children will never see their fathers again ... and Craig Rivera is worried about how tough it is on the Hilton family to have their twit child in jail on Father's Day.
Al should tie his cause to Paris Hilton's struggle. For instance, he could move to put those energy-saving light bulbs, the ones that you have (even in the populous Chicago area) drive 50 miles to get recycled. Or, better, he could have prisoners at the LA County Jail, or at Rikers Island or Cook County Jail recycle them.
As to Fathers day the dissenters of anything discriminatory are raging:
The National Organization for Women (NOW) and other women advocacy groups have filed suit against the Bush Administration seeking to abolish Fathers Day.The American Civil Liberties Union, filing on behalf of the organizations said the day runs afoul of equal protection and Title IX provisions and should be abolished because it is discriminatory against women. "It is time to move beyond the pattern male discrimination against women so prevalent in the home and the workplace," according to a press release.
More padding for the pockets of the ACLU who will look to make millions in legal fees over this.Look for the ACLU to file suite against all holidays because they somewhere, somehow, upset someone.
The BBC biased? Say it ain't so! An internal report says the BBC is biased regarding its coverage on "single-issue political causes" like man-made global warming and poverty in Africa, although the report finds day-to-day coverage on politics and world events continues to be impartial.
Excuse me while I laugh over that last bit.
Money quote:
It warns that celebrities must not be pandered to and allowed to hijack the BBC schedule.
This references the slew of slanted coverage given to Live 8 back in 2005, coverage which included not only showing the concerts on all of its channels, but also anti-poverty story lines in some popular BBC television shows at the same time.
More:
The report concludes BBC staff must be more willing to challenge their own beliefs.
It reads: There is a tendency to 'group think with too many staff inhabiting a shared space and comfort zone.
A staff impartiality seminar held last year is also documented in the report, at which executives admitted they would broadcast images of the Bible being thrown away but not the Koran, in case Muslims were offended.
During the seminar a senior BBC reporter criticised the corporation for being anti-American.
The report was jointly commissioned by BBC managers and the board of governors and will be published by the BBC Trust, which has since replaced the governors.
Deliberately offending Christians and Americans but bending over backward to suck up to Muslims? Check.
I don't expect this report to change things much, however. Nor do I expect any such report to be done by any of our major media outlets. But I suppose the report is a step in the right direction.
Television Viewing Habits Shed Light on Immigration Debate
That's the name of this very interesting post by Aaron over at Lifelike Pundits. As we all know, Mexicans and other illegal aliens are dying to assimilate into American culture. Take a look at what they're watching to see just how much.
And can any of us say we are surprised by this? With signs in stores written in English and Spanis, with most voice-prompt systems providing a choice for English or Spanish, there is really no incentive for Hispanic immigrants to learn English, is there? They want to recreate their own societies within our own. And I have no problem with them holding onto to their traditions and heritage, but NOT at the expense of those of us born here or those who emigrated legally.
LOL, steve. It is a total shame that Latin Americans are not getting the educational benefit of "America's Got Talent".

I'd also like to point out that there are only 3 shows on the Latino list, and two of them are soap operas -- I'd like to see the actual list of 10. This actually points to the fact that most Latino men don't watch much television, especially during the day, as latino men have an extremely low unemployment rate in this country.
Today I joined Aaron and Pat for an edition of LifelikePundits Radio on Blogtalk Radio. Our topics today were debunking the 9/11 Truth movement (Pat's specialty on his Screw Loose Change blog) and how some conservatives like Linda Chavez think that conservatives who oppose the current "immigration reform" bill are closet racists. I wrote an article about this issue over at FamilySecurityMatters.org last week.

I’m amazed, I must say. Seldom do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and entertaining, and without a doubt, you've hit the nail on the head. The problem is an issue that too few men and women are speaking intelligently about. I'm very happy I stumbled across this in my hunt for something relating to this.
Strange this post is totaly unrelated to what I was searching google for, but it was listed on the first page. I guess your doing something right if Google likes you enough to put you on the first page of a non related search.
This website online is really a stroll-by for all the data you needed about this and didn't know who to ask. Glimpse right here, and also you'll undoubtedly uncover it.
Undeniably believe that which you stated. Your favorite justification seemed to be on the web the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people consider worries that they plainly do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
Awesome blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere? A design like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog shine. Please let me know where you got your design. Thanks
I think this is one of the most vital information for me. And i'm glad reading your article. But wanna remark on few general things, The website style is wonderful, the articles is really nice : D. Good job, cheers
Great blog here! Also your web site loads up very fast! What host are you using? Can I get your affiliate link to your host? I wish my website loaded up as quickly as yours lol
Nice read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing some research on that. And he actually bought me lunch since I found it for him smile Thus let me rephrase that: Thank you for lunch! “Not only is the universe stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we can imagine.” by Sir Arthur Eddington.
I had heard about this video all week, but the first chance I had to view it was over at Reverse_Vampyr's blog today. It's a wonderful tribute to our soldiers by 15-year-old Lizzie Palmer. For those of you who haven't seen it yet, please take a few minutes out to watch. Be sure to have a tissue box nearby.
And then, as RV suggests, send a care package to our soldiers if you can.
The fact that I managed to sleep for most of the ride home on a bus filled with hyper 11-year-olds shows how tiring it can be to make sure your group of kiddies doesn't get lost in a very large museum.
The entire fifth grade of my younger daughter's school went to the Museum of Natural History in New York today. It had been close to twenty years since I've been there, and I'll have to go again, because the kids just whizzed by everything. Since I was a kid, I have been the kind of person who actually likes to read the small signs next to every exhibit, but that certainly didn't happen today.
It was amusing, however, to see the reactions to the lifelike wax figures of American Indians, etc., in the buff as they lived all those years ago.
The best part was the planetarium show, about how collisions in space likely formed the Earth, moon, and so on. Planetarium shows have certainly changed since I was a kid, where the host would sit in the middle of the room with the big projector and point to the large pictures of the constellations and planets. Today's shows are amazing! Too bad they also have to be narrated by big stars like commie Robert Redford. It annoys me that big movie stars have mooched in on doing narrations and other voice work, something that actors specializing in voice work used to do.
Anyway, something else that has changed is the fact that you no longer have to go on bumpy old school buses, but comfy coach buses with bathrooms and a DVD player with screens throughout. Unfortunately, the movie we watched on the way to the museum was Happy Feet, which was supposedly about a penguin who danced instead of singing, but was ultimately about the evils of humans who overfished and were starving the penguins.
Of course, we had to make a stop at the gift shop, and I saw a wonderful item called a "Global Warming" mug. " I found one online here. The box screams, "See our coastlines disappear!" All for $14.95 plus tax.
First of all, I don't run into too many WesConn grads who are not rabid liberals (MA, WCSC, 1976). Congratulations on keeping your head while others around you lost theirs.
As my wife and I homeschooled our kids, we would often take them on museum trips. The assumptions made by the "scientists" represented at the various natural history museums in New England were always astounding. They were, however, good starting places for discussion with the kids on a variety of topics, not the least of which were truth and reality.
Yes, I am a masochist...I signed up to chaperone my fifth grader's field trip to the Museum of Natural History today...so I'll be spending my day trying to keep hyped-up kids from wreaking havoc wherever they go. (I dread the bus ride.)
WASHINGTON (AP) - Former President Clinton made more than $10 million in paid speeches last year, according to new filings that show he and his presidential- candidate wife have at least $10 million in the bank, and may have closer to $50 million.
According to financial disclosure forms made public Thursday, Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton hold two accounts, each valued at somewhere between $5 and $25 million. One is an old-fashioned bank account; the other is a blind trust.
The reports indicate that when it comes to family wealth, Clinton is the wealthiest of the members of Congress running for president. Of all the presidential candidates, only Mitt Romney, whose assets are between $190 million and $250 million, may lay claim to being more affluent.
More details about the other top candidates can be found in the article.
I wonder how much Hillary is willing to have taken away from her for the common good?
Great list. And I totally agree with having Mr. Thomas Sowell at #1. As much as I like Ann Coulter, I would put Walter Williams second. (But then, it's YOUR list, isn't it?) ;)
Angelina Jolie must take her cues from the Democrats.
How else to explain her attempt to ban FOX News channel and all FOX affiliates from covering the premiere of her upcoming flick "A Mighty Heart"? Or her insistence of making interviewers sign an agreement to avoid certain questions (like those about her relationships) and that if violated, she would be free to terminate the interview and confiscate the tape?
Quoting an AP reporter who canceled a scheduled interview,
"I wouldn't sign it. Who does she think she is?"
Who indeed? Perhaps she equates herself with wannabe royalty. While she was in Namibia last year with Brad Pitt, they wouldn't allow any journalists other than those from Namibia to be present at their reception with Sam Nujoma, who has been Namibia's "president" for the last 25 years. Oh, I forgot to mention he's also the minister of information and broadcasting. He must have given them a few good tips on dealing with the media.
How ironic that in the upcoming movie, Jolie is portraying the wife of Daniel Pearl, the Wall Street Journal reporter who was kidnapped and brutally beheaded by Islamist terrorist thugs as he investigated the case of shoe bomber Richard Reid and ties between al-Qaeda and Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence.
But actors and actresses don't need to learn life lessons from the parts they play. Collecting a nice fat paycheck and looking down on the unwashed masses who fork over money to see them on the silver screen is good enough.
UPDATE: Newsbusters blogger Warner Todd Huston wonders (typos in original corrected):
Do none of these Hollyweird people have even the tiniest ability at introspection? Or are they so absolutely sure of own god-like status that the fallibility of ordinary man is beyond their ken in their minds? Are they so focused on their ultimate goals that the path to them is immaterial? Is integrity such an unknown concept out on the left coast?
My regular column at Family Security Matters this week extolls the virtues of the nonstop coverage of Paris Hilton's incarceration. Yes folks, there is a silver lining.
Part of the I'm With Fred site, the Fred File is now up and running. He actually writes some of the posts himself, and comments are open.
My blog is not on the blogroll...*sob*...but considering those that are, I shouldn't be surprised that my insignificant rantings are not included. However, I am pleased to say that American Thinker made the cut, a site I am fortunate enough to contribute to from time to time. I'll have to be content with that. ;-)
I am also eager to see Fred Thompson enter the GOP nomination race. I still believe that Rudy will be the eventual candidate, but Fred Thompson is much more palatable to conservatives that believe they do not have a horse in this race as of yet.
Mr Thompson. i heard a speach where you said you would ask senior citizens to take a cut in benifets. My question , will you also ask all your big oil friendds to get out of SS. what about Tobacco. and all the other corperate leaches you help put on while you were in Senate. How about you and the Congress , will you also take a cut. didn't think so. thats why it Better dead than Fred
Vanity Fair wants you to be concerned about the plight of the poor and sick in Africa. Their July "Africa" issue has 20 different covers, each with two famous and/or popular people (depending on your political views) on it. And if that's not enough to convince you to cough up the $4.50 cover price, it's been guest-edited by Bono. I'm sure he did it all by his lonesome, too, considering his vast expertise in editing and the magazine industry and all that. Ahem.
RadarOnline points out that while VF will magnanimously donate $5 from each online subscription during the month of June to the Global Fund, there are some facts about "doing all we can" for those poor folks in Africa that Hollywood and its sycophants would rather gloss over.
If Bono cared half as much about writing good music - U2 hasn't been palatable for a decade - as he does the plight of Africa, the world would be a much better place.
I was never a fan of U2. I could never understand the appeal of either them or REM. You're talking to someone who actually started dozing off at an REM concert (I was dragged against my will and had to be at work at 5:45 am the next day).
And I'd really like to smack those glasses off of Bono's head!
Are you asking us to be upset that a major magazine is trying to do some good, or that U2's fame didn't last as long as Bono's will to work passionately for a cause, or is it just that they're wasting money on Africa? Where are we going with this?

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
This waspretty beneficial material. Overall I think this is well worth a bookmark, thanks

I just love document Blogmeister USA: The Vanity of Vanity Fair Shines Through. Many thanks for expressing your ideas. I would personally also like to express the fact that video games are actually improving. Modern tools and innovative developments have made it simpler to create reasonable and active games. All these fun video games weren't actually sensible when the actual theory was first getting experimented with. Just like other designs of know-how, online games also had to move forward as a result of several generations.

I love the post Blogmeister USA: The Vanity of Vanity Fair Shines Through and I have a text just for helping The Financial system And also Ecology. There are lots of techniques to save energy and take care of our environment: change incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescents, start using the microwave oven instead of a typical electric range or oven, turn off your printer and lcd screen whenever not in use, drive the car sensibly simply because intense driving may reduce your gas mileage by thirty-three percent at highway speeds.
Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
Looking at Blogmeister USA: The Vanity of Vanity Fair Shines Through I made the decision to leave a nice note for webmaster. Maintain the great tasks, I hope to see soon similar articles. Also the website loads up extremely fast!
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.

I don't really like livejournal or xanga. I already have both of those. I was going to try deadjournal because I read on here that it was really good, but I don't want to have to pay for it and you have to have an invite code to get in free.

I really appreciate article Blogmeister USA: The Vanity of Vanity Fair Shines Through. Many thanks for revealing your ideas. I'd also want to express that computer games have been improving. Modern technology and enhancements have served develop realistic and also interactive flash games. These kinds of fun games were not really sensible when the actual concept was first getting tried. Just like other designs of electronics, flash games also had to evolve through many years.

I have been surfing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be a lot more useful than ever before.

Hello, i think that i saw you visited my web site thus i came to “return the favor”.I am trying to find things to improve my site!I suppose its ok to use a few of your ideas!!
Of course it was bound to happen. As Fred Thompson's popularity grows, his rivals will do what they can to poke holes in his political persona. This is politics, folks, and it's what happens when you run for office. According to Politico (h/t Cookiewrangler), the key problem areas for Thompson include:
*His lobbyist past
*His career as a trial lawyer
*He backed McCain-Feingold
*He can be a centrist
*He believes abortion should be regulated by the states
*As a lobbyist, Thompson made $1.3 million over two decades. That breaks down to what, $65K per year? Not exactly big bucks when you compare it to what other lobbyists make. And the money was earned legally, even if you don't approve of lobbyists. Mountain, meet molehill.
*So, he was a trial lawyer. Most of our representatives in the House and Senate are lawyers of one kind or another by trade. If we began "outing" all of the lawyers, there would barely be anyone left in Washington! (Say, that's not a half-bad idea...) Seriously, though, most of the major candidates on both sides (Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, John Edwards, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama) were either active lawyers at one point or at least attained a law degree. Trial lawyers as a group may have a lousy reputation, but it doesn't follow that all trial lawyers are lousy. Thompson also served as an assistant U.S. attorney, Watergate congressional counsel, and helped uncover a payoff scheme that put a Tennessee governor behind bars. He doesn't sound much greedier than your average lawyer to me.
*He backed McCain-Feingold. Well, I'm not a fan of the legislation, and it's too bad that he voted yes. But I am not the kind of voter who is so unyielding that I will refuse to forgive a candidate for disappointing me now and then. Don't forget who signed that legislation...
*The charge of centrist stems mainly from Thompson's split vote on Clinton's impeachment. Thompson's statement about why he voted the way he did can be seen here. But his conclusion boils down why he voted the way he did:
Is removal appropriate when the President lied to the grand jury that he denied to his aides that he had engaged in sex only as he had defined it, when in fact he had denied engaging in oral sex? Is removal warranted because the President stated that his relationship began as a friendship in the wrong year and actually encompassed more telephone encounters than could truthfully be described as `occasional'? To ask the question is to answer it. In my opinion, these statements, while wrong and perhaps indictable after the President leaves office, do not justify removal of the President from office.
He didn't believe the punishment fit the crime. And if he stands by his vote, you have to respect it, even if you don't agree with it. Honestly? This is water under the bridge. Bill Clinton's behavior with women while in the White House is an unattractive blot on our history to be sure, but let's put that particular incident behind us. (We should worry, though, if his partner in "crime" Hillary were to be elected.)
*Thompson's stance on abortion matches mine: I believe it should be a state issue, not a Supreme Court issue. Abortion on demand bothers me, but frankly it is not the defining issue for me. National security is number one in my book. Everything else is gravy.
Thompson was on the Tonight Show last night. I was too pooped to stay up, so I caught the highlights on Hot Air. It's the first time he actually admitted he wants to be president, even though he hasn't been dreaming of it all of his life. And the audience seemed to like him. He even made Leno laugh.
The left has started piling on Thompson for being too "folksy" and another "dumb" actor. Camille Paglia, whom I sometimes agree with, sometimes not (although I always find her work enjoyable to read), said
Right now, the Democrats best hope may be for the Republicans to veer right and nominate an erratic aging boy like the seedy Newt Gingrich or a Hollywood caricature of vintage 1910 American small-town life like the phlegmatically pithy Fred Thompson, whose homespun act feels tired and looks tired.
Small-town life. You can hear Paglia shuddering from here. Her response to Thompson's appeal is sadly typical of many liberals, who believe their sophistication is too much for red state rubes to handle. Oh, to be as worthy of adulation as they are!
Once Thompson officially announces, he can take part in debates. We'll then get a better idea of who he is, what he stands for, and what he has to offer. In the meantime, keep reading his columns on TownHall.com and elsewhere to start your education on Thompson. Will he hold up? Only time will tell.
I have to say to be earning 65K two decades ago was a lot of money. Considering middle manager position in a medium sized corporation only made $18,000 per year.
I also see Thompson with strong poll numbers based on his persona he plays on television. His education is average. (check wikipedia)
He also has NO experience leading large organizations or putting together substantial legislation. I look as the resumes of the candidates and I have to stay there is nothing that I find on Thompson's resume that would make him qualified to be President.
May be you can show me some experience he has that proves otherwise.
Perhaps it IS that seeming inexperience that makes him the PERFECT candidate to be President. No ties to big business or worse, big energy/big oil. Earned his money the hard way. Oh yeah, and brains.
UPDATE: LGF effectively picks apart the whitewashed Reuters article itself.
You know, this business about Muslim cab drivers in Minneapolis getting into a snit because they're being told they cannot discriminate against passengers who are carrying alcohol really burns my toast. Here's why.
Here in America, if you choose a profession where you are obliged to serve the general public, you don't get to pick and choose who you serve and who you don't serve. According to the article linked above, the former commissioner of Minnesota's Department of Human Rights is in the corner with the Muslim cab drivers.
"Five or six times a month, somebody will get the second or third cab, rather than the first cab," [Stephen] Cooper said. "That seems pretty minor."
Sure it's a minor incovenience. But there are pharmacists who are getting fired because they refuse to dispense the "morning after" pill in accordance with their religious beliefs. Just as an alcohol-carrying passenger can catch another cab, surely a woman can go to a different pharmacy.
And can you imagine the uproar if an emergency room doctor refused to treat someone based on religious beliefs?
See what I mean? We can't have it both ways. In America, there are some people who claim that religous beliefs have no place in public life whatsoever. I don't necessarily believe that's true. But if we make concessions for one religion because it's the cause du jour, then we need to start making concessions for other religions. And see where opening that can of worms will get you.
"But if we make concessions for one religion because it's the cause du jour, then we need to start making concessions for other religions. And see where opening that can of worms will get you."
Yeah, but only one religion threatens to behead you if you disagree with them...
I've written an extra article for Family Security Matters this week, and it's in response to Linda Chavez blaming racism for the backlash against illegal immigration. You can read it here.
As you likely know, Fred Thompson caught up to Rudy Giuliani amongst Republicans in the latest Rasmussen poll. He'll also be on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno tonight (11:30 pm ET). If you're interested in finding out more about Fred!, you might want to tune in.
"There's a new Congress in town." Yes, Nancy. But this new Congress doesn't seem to be doing much better than the last one. In fact this Congress, which is controlled by the Democrats, is at its lowest approval rating in a decade.
A new LA Times/Bloomberg poll indicates that congressional approval ratings have gone from 36% in January to 27% today. 63% go so far as to say the way this Congress operates is "business as usual."
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is not faring well in comparison with one of her predecessors, Newt Gingrich. 46% of respondents in this poll said they approved of Gingrich when he headed the Republican majority in 1994, as opposed to only 36% approving of Pelosi now. As Gingrich prepares for a possible run for president, this kind of news is not likely welcome in certain circles. Get ready for a flurry of old Gingrich scandals to be rehashed in the weeks to come.
Could pork barrel spending, wasting time on non-binding resolutions and no-confidence votes, announcing premature defeat in Iraq, pushing an illegal immigrant amnesty bill, and a recent House indictment on bribery have anything to do with it?
According to a poll that Rasmussens just released Harry Reid has a whooping 19% approval rating.Point that out to the people who point to Bush's approval rating and you hear the sounds of silence.
The media is beginning to look at Newt Gingrich as a possible candidate for the presidency. This AP article by Libby Quaid is entitled A look at Gingrich's business empire, and discusses the ways in which Gingrich has made his living since leaving the House nine years ago. My media bias alert system is in full swing.
The first clue is the article's title. Newt Gingrich has a "business empire?" He is paid for making speeches, writing books, giving television and radio commentary, and for consulting. He also has a political action committee that pays for some of his travel, and which will be his starting point should he decide to jump into the race.
We are duly informed that Gingrich and his aides will not disclose how much he makes from his writing and his speeches. So what? He's a private citizen, and as such, is not required to disclose his income. (Would Libby Quaid like to share her W2s with the rest of us? If I thought you all wouldn't die laughing, I might let you know how much I get paid too.) Should Gingrich officially enter the race, then he'll have to fill out an income disclosure form. But he's under no obligation to do so now. Meanwhile, we get the impression of yet another Republican fat cat who is pulling down big bucks.
You know, I can think of another prominent politician who has re-entered private life and makes money by writing, consulting, and making speeches. His name is Bill Clinton, and he rakes in millions from his activities. In speechmaking alone since he left the White House, he has made nearly $40 million. That doesn't take into account consulting fees for various companies and the advance he received for his biography. The only reason we have any idea as to what he makes is because his wife is a senator who is also running for president. Therefore, his income must be made public along with hers. Would Clinton's activities be called a "business empire" too? Somehow, I doubt it.
Articles like this are only the tip of the iceberg. Let the muckraking begin!
Do you mean the piddly paycheck from my day job and all the hours I put into my writing (both here and for FSM and elsewhere) for which I get no remuneration? Some empire. If the capitalist system depended upon me, we'd all be in a lot of trouble, LOL!

Its good as your other content : D, appreciate it for posting . "Age is a function of mind over matter if you don't mind, it doesn't matter." by Leroy Robert Satchel Paige.
John Hawkins over at Right Wing News has done his quarterly ranking of his top 40 favorite blogs. I thought I'd get on the bandwagon with my (much smaller) list of top 10 favorites. These are blogs that I visit regularly and comment and/or link frequently.
*A caveat: I made a conscious decision NOT to include any blogs by my blog friends (those I correspond with regularly), because I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. ("Hey, why didn't she include me?")*
*Regular readers know that I contribute on occasion to American Thinker...however, as I am not in charge of content, I felt it was not a problem to include it. Hey, I'm not getting paid for any of this!
That's okay, Pam. I know that my blog is terrible now, if it ever was any good. At some point, I will bring back the fight and maybe I can worm my way this list next year despite the caveat disclaimer thingy. You would be on my list though. Just saying.
LOL..thanks TD. I figure you must be busier having a life than I am at the moment, which is why your blogging has been sparse. And more power to you! ;-)
Pam, May I suggest http://www.realclearpolitics.com/
As a possibility in the future. I find it a good place to do a check of what stories are out there w/o having to go to all the MSM sites.
When it comes to certain social policies, I rarely see eye to eye with my senator, Joe Lieberman. (For example, he supported last week's failed amnesty bill.) However, when it comes to national security and our military, he and I are on the same page.
Lieberman, who recently returned from his seventh or eighth trip to Iraq, proposes a pre-emptive strike against Iran, whose meddling in Iraq and elsewhere is no secret.
"We've said so publicly that the Iranians have a base in Iran at which they are training Iraqis who are coming in and killing Americans. By some estimates, they have killed as many as 200 American soldiers," Lieberman said. "Well, we can tell them we want them to stop that. But if there's any hope of the Iranians living according to the international rule of law and stopping, for instance, their nuclear weapons development, we can't just talk to them."
He added, "If they don't play by the rules, we've got to use our force, and to me, that would include taking military action to stop them from doing what they're doing."
Lieberman said much of the action could probably be done by air, although he would leave the strategy to the generals in charge. "I want to make clear I'm not talking about a massive ground invasion of Iran," Lieberman said.
In stark contrast, Democrat presidential candidate Bill Richardson recommends first talking to Iran, and then threatening them with sanctions. It's a tactic similar to warning your child that you're going to send him to bed without supper if he doesn't stop misbehaving. While it might work on a four-year-old, it isn't likely to work on the likes of Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. This is a man who wishes to wipe Israel off the map, and has said that, "Anybody who recognizes Israel will burn in the fire of the Islamic nation's fury." Yeah, he sounds really reasonable.
About as reasonable as the now-dead Saddam Hussein.
I must respectfully disagree with you regarding
Richardson's important breakthrough in terms of Iraq policy, especially in the context of Lieberman now threatening to use nuclear weapons, without so much as a discussion with the UN General Assembly, an ill considered posturing I find totally absurd and even dangerous, having studied the effects at Hiroshima and Nagasaki as much as I have. Allow me to digress a bit to examine a slightly different but related topic:
Richardsons ideas on a possible US boycott of the Olympics.
I strongly agree with Richardsons innovative idea put forth during the New Hampshire debates, in view of the general silence among nations vis--vis Chinas ghastly atrocities in the human rights realm, and not just about China and Darfur, but especially towards Tibetans, and especially with its dozens of prisons which for Tibetans are exactly like Auschwitz and Dachau. I posited the same idea in 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006, in correspondence to His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, and to many heads-of-state, that the moral indignation of the nations in the Olympics in Beijing in 2008 could be harnessed into at least the threat of a boycott, perhaps worded more diplomatically. During the debate, Sen. Edwards clearly agreed with this point by Richardson.
Make no mistake: this is probably the last chance in human history to do anything constructive about Tibet, to prevent henceforth the genocidal treatment of Tibetans remaining in Tibet, which has since 1959 seen 1.2 million Tibetans killed, roughly 20% of the entire population of Tibet. If American political powers and their pundits wont use the remains of our powers of moral suasion in the world at large, and if we are to once again docilely capitulate to dimwitted politicians who say that the Olympics is only about sport, and not about politics, we are no better than the many nations who were oblivious to the growing obviousness of the genocide of Jews in Europe before and during World War II.
Actually, the USA was for many years totally oblivious in this regard, whether you blame Roosevelt or anti-Semitics in the State Department, all of which is thoroughly documented in Arthur Morses book, While Six Million Died. In that light, we think Richardson is on the right track, and even more so, when you consider the dead pets and the poisoned toothpaste from China. That is just not about politics: that was life and death for many, including at least 100 dead, mostly children, in Panama!
News: In what may be its most audacious Olympic act yet, Chinas Ministry of Public Security has issued an incredible directive that lists 43 categories of unwanteds who are to be investigated and barred from the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Pariah groups include: - eerily vague key individuals in ideological fields - overseas hostile forces - counter-revolutionary figures - the Dalai Lama and all affiliates - members of religious entities not sanctioned by the state (e.g. Roman Catholics) - individuals whoinstigate discontentment toward the Chinese Communist Party through the Internet, - and even certain types of handicapped persons. Members of the Falun Gong would be barred, as would family members of deceased persons killed in riots a euphemism for events such as the Tiananmen Massacre and Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang province, which the regime brands national separatists. Only at the very bottom of the directive does it identify violent terrorists and members of illegal organizations as targets for investigation and possible barring.
Respectfully,
Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL) has been named as co-chair of the Clinton presidential campaign. To refresh your memory, Hastings is a former federal judge who was impeached on corruption and perjury, and removed from office in 1989.
Nancy Pelosi, drainer of corrupt swamps, was all set to name Hastings as chair of the House Intelligence Committee earlier this year, but it turns out people remembered she had been among those voting for Hastings' impeachment. Oops!
How fitting that Hastings should be such a large player in Mrs. Bill Clinton's campaign! Let's take a trip down memory lane to see what another Clinton presidency could be like:
- The only president ever impeached on grounds of personal malfeasance
- Most number of convictions and guilty pleas by friends and associates
- Most number of cabinet officials to come under criminal investigation
- Most number of witnesses to flee country or refuse to testify
- Most number of witnesses to die suddenly
- First president sued for sexual harassment.
- First president accused of rape.
- First first lady to come under criminal investigation
- Largest criminal plea agreement in an illegal campaign contribution case
- First president to establish a legal defense fund.
- Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions
- Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions from abroad
Remember, the Clinton years of the '90s were a two-for-one special! Anyone for a second helping?
Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney and John McCain are the current GOP frontrunners in the race for the White House. But a couple of possible late entries could change everything. (If you follow politics even part of the time, you'll know what I'm talking about.) My pal Jonathan Strong, aka The Strong Conservative, writes about these possibilities for the Sarasota HeraldTribune today.
Right Wing News has the scoop on how Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) put a stick in the spokes of the "comprehensive immigration reform" bicycle wheel long enough to allow other opponents to draft some amendments to the bill, which contributed to the ultimate vote against cloture last night. Nice job, Jim.
this is one amusing aspect, as many have embraced a form of vitriol, where they say they are abandoning the GOP.
but here again, we have an example of a fine effort of a Republican fighting for debate and amendments to some better legislation.
in fact, prior to NOV. 2006, the GOP listened to the anger and killed comprehensive immigration reform, producing a Border Fence Bill only, signed by this President.
and they were not rewarded at the polls at all...
it seems to be a vivid contradiction.
so far, the Republican Party, listening to the Conservative base, has prevented the concerning aspects of immigration reform from being made into law, and they aren't thanked or appreciated for their effort.
it makes little sense.
i remain deeply thankful here, for the Republican Party, (considering nothing is perfect in any sense)...
Have the Republicans realized that if this bill passes, they will never have a majority in the House or the Senate, and will never again have a Republican president?
I'm not sure how to put this without being accused of some sort of racism, but a large majority of the illegal immigrants, once they become legal, will be voting for the democrats. So basically, the Republicans like Lindsay Graham and John McCain, if able to succeed in this legislation, would ensure democratic leadership for the foreseeable future.

Chris Dodd, (sadly) one of my elected representatives in the Senate, is running for president. If you didn't know, it's because he's near the bottom of the heap of Democrat Oval Office wannabes. "Dodd who?" is a common refrain among nationwide voters.
Dodd, who has a barely-used law degree because he's been in either the House or Senate for the last 30 plus years, has declared that the Constitutional rights of terrorist detainees have been violated. And he wants you to care! Here's the e-mail I received from his campaign yesterday...it made me want to vomit. (Apparently his views are over at HuffPo as well):
America doesn't start wars - we end them.
We don't turn away from the world - we lead it.
And we don't commit torture - we condemn it.
All of this was true until the current administration, and we shouldn't wait until we elect a new President before we stand up to the mistakes made by this one.
There is no doubt that we live in dangerous times and that America has real enemies, but the actions of this Administration have made us more vulnerable as nation, not less.
That is why I intend to do everything within my power to bring a bill I introduced earlier this year, the "Restoring the Constitution Act," to a vote in the United States Senate.
But today I need your help. Watch my video discussing the bill and upload your own explaining why you believe America is most secure when we draw strength from our highest ideals, not our worst fears.
http://www.restore-habeas.org
During last weekend's debate, I was asked what a top priority for the Dodd Administration would be during my first 100 days in office. My answer was clear, "I would try to restore the Constitutional rights in this country" and I wouldn't need one hundred days to do it.
Indeed, we must restore habeas corpus, but to regain our moral standing in the world requires more than that alone.
That is why the "Restoring the Constitution Act" would also prevent the use of evidence in court gained through the unreliable and immoral practices of torture and coercion, limit the authority of the President to interpret the meaning and application of the Geneva Conventions and make that authority subject to congressional and judicial oversight, and narrow the definition of unlawful enemy combatant to individuals who directly participate in a zone of active combat against the United States, and individuals who participated in attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001.
Watch the video explaining the "Restoring the Constitution Act," upload your own, and sign on as a citizen co-sponsor.
http://www.restore-habeas.org
In removing habeas corpus protections, the Military Commissions Act affirmed vengeance as a tool in fighting terrorism discarding sixty years of precedent and respect for the rule of law.
The subjugation of habeas and the use of torture make us weaker as a nation, not stronger. It's time we stand up and say once and for all that the choice between vengeance and security is a false choice that American leadership ought to draw strength from not our worst fears but our highest ideals.
Please take a moment to learn about the "Restoring the Constitution Act" and get involved in its passage.
http://www.restore-habeas.org
Justice Jackson said of the Nuremberg Trials, "To pass these defendants a poisoned chalice is to put it to our own lips as well."
If we fail to rise to this moment, I fear we will be drinking from that chalice for many years to come. In the end, by restoring our fundamental principles we serve not only the interest of justice, but also the long term interests of the United States.
Now I'm not a lawyer, but even I could see that this man is blowing more smoke out of his rear end than a Mack truck. But my pals Aaron and Charles over at Lifelike Pundits have given this nonsense the smackdown it deserves. Aaron is not a lawyer, but Charles is...he was just admitted to the Illinois bar earlier this year and, unlike Dodd, plans to use his law degree. Please click here to see why Chris Dodd is so full of hot air that if he were a conservative, the Goracle would try to have him condemned for single-handedly turning our planet into a sauna.
He's like Sam Brownback and Tommy Thompson, a bland guy who just hasn't caught fire--and won't. Dodd's in the race to stay, though, courtesy of his banking ties.
I noted that comment too, "I would try to restore the Constitutional rights in this country."
On my site, I said, something along the lines of "I wasn't aware mine were taken away." Some lib troll jumped on me for that, but it's true, mine haven't been taken away. And what constitutional rights does a foreign terrorist (oops, "alleged" terrorist) have?
The amnesty, er, I mean comprehensive immigration reform bill, didn't make the cloture vote again tonight, which means that it will be removed from the Senate floor. This means there is little chance that it will be revived this year.
The vote was 45-50 against limiting debate on the bill, 15 short of the 60 that the bill's supporters needed to prevail. Most Republicans voted to block Democrats' efforts to bring the bill to a final vote.
The legislation, which had been endorsed by President Bush, would tighten borders, institute a new system to prevent employers from hiring undocumented workers in addition to giving up to 12 million illegal immigrants a pathway to legal status.
As Larwyn said in an e-mail, "Americans won...La Raza lost."
Michelle Malkin has been covering this extensively over this past week; she has up-to-the-minute coverage here.
Harry Reid, who was among those trying to cram this down our throats and called illegal aliens "undocumented Americans" is now doing damage control, saying that removing the bill from the floor would let such important talk as regulating gas prices (price controls are never a good idea, BTW) and trying to give Alberto Gonzalez the boot. Let the finger pointing and political spin begin. As is expected, of course.
If Congress would work on enforcing the laws we have before spending time making new ones, perhaps they'd get more popular support. A FOX News poll said 58% of Americans want to see enforcement of existing laws first.
Why our elected representatives haven't figured that out yet is beyond me.
To those of you who contacted your senators and/or blogged about this to get the word out, pat yourselves on the back. We elect these people to represent us, not illegal aliens who shouldn't be here, much less demand the rights we enjoy. We need to remind Congress more often that they serve at our pleasure.
Patterico has a must-read post today. He asks three air marshals (one retired) if they think the Syrians on NorthWest Airlines Flight 327 back in 2004 was a dry run and if so, why?
In addition to what you might expect to hear, there's a bit about illegal immigrants that shouldn't be ignored.
Frank Luntz was on Sean Hannity's radio show yesterday afternoon (I caught part of that), and he was also on Hannity and Colmes last night. Luntz is a political analyst who uses focus groups to see where a candidate is standing and from what he says, John McCain's prospects are sinking fast, while Fred Thompson's are rising just as quickly.
The biggest problem for McCain is his support of the amnesty bill. They can call it comprehensive immigration reform, but what it boils down to is amnesty, conditional though it may be. The problem with too many politicians is that they forget that the voters have eyes, ears, and minds with which to process what they see and hear. And the voters are angry. As for Thompson, it's not just star appeal. There's a lot more to his attraction than that.
Hot Air has a portion of Luntz's appearance on H&C last night. Take a look...it's highly informative. Meanwhile, Ace points out why these citizens-in-waiting will not "more than pay for themselves" with the taxes collected on their earnings.
I shudder to think that this man might inflict his particular brand of leadership -- or is that non-leadership? -- on the rest of the country. Rep. Ray Nagin? And to what purpose? Getting off the sinking ship that is New Orleans in order to save his own sorry tookus? Read the article and see what you think.
According to Patrick Ruffini, Fred Thompson's new website I'm With Fred has raised a whopping $220 thousand in an 18-hour period. He also tells us that people signing up as "Friends of Fred" (including yours truly) have been doing so at the rate of 1,500 per hour.
Commenters on the above post are not impressed, but for a guy who hasn't offically announced his candidacy, I'd say it's not too shabby.
Count me in as one of the Friends of Fred as well. My mom sent me an old article (March of this year) about how Thompson could be the next Reagan. It's a very interesting read; I put something on my own blog here.
Yes, he said it, and he put it on his website. Hot Air also has the video in case Reid's people pull it.
According to one of the most powerful elected officials in our nation, these are not illegal aliens, they are "undocumented Americans." To borrow a phrase from the global warming crowd, "the debate is over" in the mind of Reid and his likeminded cronies.
"America" is a continent -- two, actually. So anyone coming from, oh, say, Mexico, is an American. Canadians? Also Americans. Brazilians? Um...you get the picture.
posted by Ro at June 6, 2007 04:42 PM
As of 8:05am EST today, June 7th, the video is no longer on Reid's site. I searched his entire site using the word "undocumented" and all I could find was "undocumented immigrant"...so it would appear spin-control is in full swing on Reid's site.
When's the last time you heard anyone from any of those countries call themselves Americans? Interesting, though, how when European snobs complain about uncouth Americans on holiday, everyone knows who they're talking about...and it's not the Brazilians or Mexicans.
People from those countries DO call themselves Americans. In fact, if you watch a US or European movie with Spanish subtitles, they'll generally translate "American" to "estadounidense", because it makes a lot more sense to people from Central and South America. To millions of people, the word "American" is a lot like the word "Asian", designating a large region, no a particular country. My point, I guess, is that maybe it's a bit over the top to get too bent out of shape over this comment.

I wouldn't say we are that "over-the-top", as this comment fits with the Leftist mindset, i.e., it is just the sort of thing we would expect him to say.
Walter Williams, along with Thomas Sowell, are two of the brightest and most thoughtful minds in America today. In Williams' column on Town Hall today, he picks up on a theme of recent articles by Thomas Sowell about the "war of words" and parlays it into a simple lesson on economics.
Liberals often denounce free markets as immoral. The reality is exactly the opposite. Free markets, characterized by peaceable, voluntary exchange, with respect for property rights and the rule of law, are more moral than any other system of resource allocation. Let's examine just one reason for the superior morality of free markets.
The official Fred Thompson campaign site is up. Called I'm With Fred, there currently isn't much to see on it, but there is a "donate" button, along with a place to sign up to be a "friend of Fred."
I'm a HAP HAP HAPPY GIRL this morning! Woot!!! Already signed up as a Friend of Fred - minimal involvement at present but I might actually want to take part in campaign efforts WHEN he gets the nomination.
A Thompson/Guiliani ticket (in that order) would be a dream come true. NOW the debates will actually have some bite and meaning.
Casting Call for Extras in the Next Indiana Jones Movie
Consider the following to be a public service announcement from Blogmeister USA:
Do you live in Connecticut? Have you always dreamed of being an extra in a movie? Then read on...the following information was sent to me by an acquaintance:
The production is holding an open casting call for extras to appear in a sequence where Indy tears through campus on a motorcycle (along Chapel Street in New Haven). The call, organized by Billy Dowd Casting, will be held on Monday, June 11 and Tuesday, June 12 at the Omni Hotel at Yale between 1 p.m.-9 p.m. both days.
You must be 18 years or older, and you must bring a headshot with you to the casting call. (Photos will not be returned, so make sure that it's not your only copy.) Filming of the New Haven sequence will take place between June 28 and July 7.
No, I'm not going...but if you do and you are chosen, let me know! After all, it may be your last chance to see an aging Harrison Ford in a live action scene, LOL!
The company that has paid Bill Clinton over $2 million in consulting fees (with more on the way) since leaving the White House, and has ferried Mrs. Bill Clinton around on its corporate jet to the tune of nearly $1 million, is now employing Nancy Pelosi's son Paul.
Paul Pelosi Jr. was hired as a senior vice president at InfoUSA about a month after his mother became speaker. He also holds another full-time job as a home loan officer. Neither company seems to mind that he works for the other.
The only thing I can think of is that CEO Vinod Gupta likes having connections to powerful people. You never know when you might need them...especially now that InfoUSA's practice of renting or selling mailing lists to people who defraud old people has become known. Also, Gupta is being sued by shareholders for squandering the company's money on what they say is personal use and political projects.
According to the NewsMax article:
A person familiar with the arrangement says Gupta treats Pelosi as a "trophy" and has the Speaker's son accompany him at high profile meetings around the country.
Pelosi denied the suggestion he is being used because of his family ties.
"I don't think that's really what happens," he said.
Nor does he "think" his hiring was related to his mother becoming speaker, he said. But he acknowledged the timing raises a "good question."
Of course he denied it. Would you like to even think that you might have been hired because one of your parents is a powerful politician and not because you're such a great catch? Of course, he may well be a great addition to the company. But I wouldn't want to think that a company approached me just because they thought my connection to people in high places might come in handy.
I'll be featured on AM 650 KGAB Cheyenne (Wyoming) tomorrow morning right after the 7:30 am Mountain (9:30 am Eastern) news block in my guise as a FamilySecurityMatters.org contributing editor. Morning hosts Dave and Amy will be talking to me about the piece I wrote for FSM last week entitled Saying Goodbye to Cindy Sheehan.
If you're interested in tuning in, KGAB has a live stream available here.
UPDATE 6/5/07: Just got off the phone with Dave, whom I enjoyed speaking with. Unfortunately the only caller was someone who wanted to talk about the replacement for the Wyoming Republican senator who just died last night, and he started kvetching that it would be Dick Cheney's doing if a Republican was chosen to replace Sen. Thomas. Sheesh, the man hasn't even been buried yet! Other than that, the discussion went swimmingly!
It's been a long time in coming, but Rep. William J. "Cold Cash" Jefferson (D-LA) is set to be charged in an ongoing corruption case later today, with the dossier of evidence said to be over an inch thick. If convicted, an anonymous source says he could spend up to 200 years in prison.
Background: Nearly two years ago, approximately $90,000 in cash was found stashed in Jefferson's freezer. A former aide, Brett Pfeffer, admitted to soliciting bribes on Jefferson's behalf. Vernon Jackson, a telecommunications executive, 'fessed up to paying up to $1 million in bribes to Jefferson in exchange for help in overseas business deals. Both men agreed to cooperate with officials in exchange for plea bargains. (They were sentenced to eight and seven years in prison, respectively.) Jefferson is also said to have been videotaped taking a $100,000 bribe, the bulk of which was found in his freezer.
In an unrelated incident, Jefferson used National Guardsmen to check on his property and retrieve personal items in the aftermath of Katrina. There's nothing like putting your power to good use...
In spite of the cloud hanging around Jefferson's head, he was re-elected last year. Perhaps the sludgy water of the hurricane's wake had something to do with the state of mind of the voters. Or maybe they like having someone with the taint of corruption as their representative in Congress.
At the time of the raid, House leaders on both sides complained that the feds overstepped their bounds when they raided Jefferson's home, saying it was unconstitutional. That debate continues...and Congress wonders why it has such a low approval rating.
Well, Nancy? Is it time to drain the swamp yet? And will the press give this as much coverage as they did to Randy "Duke" Cunningham?
Jefferson is pond scum. The people that blindly support him are not alot better. The ACLU will claim that he is exempt from search warrants because of his office, but he will find that his ragity butt will end up in the COOLER. No one is exempt from the law. There is some immunity for these elite butt heads, but this type of action on the part of "Cold Cash" Jefferson will result in him spending some time with Paris and the rest.
William Jefferson makes life harder for other blacks because of his powerful position and untimitigated gall and greed.It never fails to find hands in the cookie jar when funds are flying around loose with no checks and balances. $90,000 in the freezer when others after Katrina went hungry. It is too bad I cannot be in Louisiana with my trusty straight razor.

I had a quick question in which I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing. I've had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out. I truly do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints? Cheers!
Throughout the awesome design of things you actually receive an A+ with regard to effort and hard work. Where you actually lost me was first in your details. As people say, the devil is in the details... And that couldn't be more correct in this article. Having said that, allow me reveal to you just what did give good results. Your writing is really powerful which is possibly the reason why I am taking an effort to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. 2nd, whilst I can certainly see a jumps in reasoning you make, I am not convinced of exactly how you seem to connect your ideas which inturn produce the actual conclusion. For the moment I shall yield to your position however hope in the near future you actually connect the dots better.

Oh my goodness! a great article dude. Thank you Nonetheless I'll be experiencing trouble with ur rss . Don’t know why Struggling to sign as much as it. Probably there is certainly any person finding identical rss difficulty? Any person who knows kindly respond. Thnkx
Its such as you learn my mind! You appear to understand a lot about this, such as you wrote the e-book in it or something. I feel that you simply can do with a few % to pressure the message house a bit, but other than that, this is excellent blog. An excellent read. I'll certainly be back.
I would like to show appreciation to this writer for rescuing me from such a scenario. As a result of checking throughout the the net and obtaining opinions which are not beneficial, I figured my entire life was over. Living devoid of the approaches to the problems you've resolved all through your blog post is a crucial case, as well as ones that might have in a wrong way affected my career if I had not discovered your web site. Your own capability and kindness in handling all the stuff was priceless. I'm not sure what I would have done if I hadn't come across such a stuff like this. I am able to at this point look ahead to my future. Thanks so much for this specialized and result oriented guide. I won't think twice to refer your web page to any individual who desires direction on this matter.
Typifying the attitude of today's liberal, former hippies are not thrilled at the idea of their property values declining in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco due to loitering street punk drug addicts and panhandlers, as noted in this LA Times article from last week pointed out by Michelle Malkin.
I had to laugh at this bit:
John Grima, a program director at the Haight Ashbury Free Clinic, founded in the 1960s, says his agency provides "nonjudgmental" services for homeless youths. "Still, there's this assumption of a free ride," he said.
Grima said a teen asked him for change on Haight Street. Grima offered him slices of pepperoni pizza. The young man refused, saying he was vegetarian.
"I said, 'OK, then don't eat it,' then I got mad," Grima said. "I said, 'Wait a minute, I don't owe you anything. I'm happy to help you, but I don't owe you a thing.' "
"I don't owe you anything." Grima had better watch out...someone might confuse him with a conservative.
What a bunch of whiners. Former hippies who revolted against polite society and whose motto was "turn on, tune in and drop out" are now annoyed by the next generation of kids who want to "stick it to the man?" I have no sympathy.
It has been said that a Conservative is a Liberal that has been mugged. For Haight Ashbury, maybe a Conservative is an old hippie that has been mugged.
I guess they have their Birkenstocks in a bundle (you can probably do better than that).
Al Gore's Skill Set Not Appreciated by Average Americans
Following up on the smartest guy in the room meme, Al Gore is now inferring that he's above all the chicanery that is part and parcel of politics:
"It may be easier to fix it from the outside," he said. "Again, I haven't ruled out for all time thinking about politics again. It's just that the way it works now, I don't think that the skills I have are the ones that are most likely to be rewarded within this system. It's like a washing machine that is permanently set on the spin cycle. It doesn't stop spinning. That creates real problems for a politics based on reason."
Friends have urged him to run for president again, but he wants to see a "transformation of this conversation of democracy" that de-emphasizes imagery and spin-doctoring.
"I expect it will take a lot more time," Gore said. "I'm grateful for those who have a good opinion of me, to the point where they think I ought to run again, but I am not convinced myself that's the best way for me to serve."
"I don't think the skills I have are the ones that are most likely to be rewarded in this system." Translation: I wasn't good enough for you then, so I'm going to pout for a while more before deciding if I should grace you with my presence this time around. Those sour grapes from the 2000 election have left a lingering bitter aftertaste. Perhaps some Listerine would help?
And what skills would those be anyway? Talking out of both sides of your mouth? Believing yourself to be above everyone else? Preaching one philosophy while practicing another? Being the one who decides what's best for everyone else? Sounds like he'd be a perfect fit for the Democrat Party of today.
Keep on spinning, Al, because no matter how much you deny it, you are the master of the spin cycle. "Transformation of this conversation of democracy" indeed.
You have to admit that Al Gore is good at keeping to his one central message on global warming. Shoveling whatever he needs for decades to keep the Big Lie alive, 'til it is part of the mainstream paradigm, where we blame everything from diseases to blizzards on human-caused global warming.
Hmmm... I didn't realize I had discovered a new diet plan, though now that I think about it, the thought does kill the appetite. I should've advertised and charged for a new diet plan before posting the "love child revelation" on my blog. But I couldn't resist. The guy really is a younger version of Gore. Go see for yourself via the link in my previous comment.
Do Global Warming Alarmists Really Believe Their Own Hype?
I'm a regular reader of Moonbattery, where Van Helsing discusses the latest news of the day with not only a conservative viewpoint, but a refreshingly amusing writing style. I am also a frequent commenter, and enjoy reading the comments of regulars like V the K, Nance and Archonix, among others.
A recent post about the incredible brainpower of Al Gore really got the comments going from both sides. Part of the thread went off on an "is there really a God?" tangent, but that's not what I'd like to discuss here. Jay Guevara (real name? pseudonym?) had some excellent points to make on the current fad regarding global warming caused by man, something the Goracle seems to be firmly convinced of. The following is an excerpt from one of his comments, which was part of a back-and-forth between him and a couple of believers:
Here's the news: no one really believes in global warming. No one. Laurie David claims to believes in it, but jets around the country. Would she do that if she really thought it was dooming her and everyone else? If she thought jet travel caused breast cancer, would she indulge in that regardless of the risk? Of course not. Conclusion: she doesn't really believe it either.
Global warming advocacy is an opportunity for galloping narcissists to attract attention by striking a fashionable pose, a new wrinkle on the Hollywood award shows. Nothing more. ("I'm not an overindulged superannuated adolescent! I'm a concerned human being! Look at me, emulate me, adulate me, I'm cool! Really! All the cool people say so!") Anyone who actually believed our survival hung in the balance would be agitating to ban, inter alia, all rock concerts, television, film, vacation travel, and other frivolous wastes of energy and build nuclear power plants. Ain't gonna happen. Pigs will have an Air Force before then.
Anthropogenic global warming is an exercise in psychology, not science. The hysteria of those propounding it is by itself a dead giveaway. Those of us of a certain age (ahem) have seen so many doomsday scares come and go that it's hard to keep a straight face on hearing the most recent one. (As Abraham Lincoln said, "No matter how much cats fight, there always seems to be plenty of kittens." And somehow despite all the doomsday scenarios, the freeways become more and more crowded.) I'm old enough to remember when global cooling (caused by aerosol deodorants) was going to kill us all, and the polar bears were going to march down over the ice sheets and eat everyone in Miami. Now these maritime bears that can swim 60 miles out to sea are drowning. Teach 'em to mess with us!
Much like Wall Street touts, global warming poses the moral hazard that there's no downside to being an alarmist, because everyone will forget erroneous predictions. Only if the predictions are borne out, or appear as if they might be, will those making them point them out to all and sundry. A case in point: last year NOAA predicted a "very active" hurricane year, with four to six category 3 or higher storms, yada yada. Outcome: bupkis. Oops.
We should make the prediction business interesting. If a climatologist makes a public prediction that's substantially wrong, he should be fired and banned from getting federal funding. Now - he was saying?
Face it - global warming is a fad. Nothing more. Cynics are manipulating the cognitively disenfranchised (subtext: "vote for liberals, or we're all doomed, doomed I tell you!" Women are especially susceptible to the "It's for the children!" nonsense. It establishes their bona fides as mothers, or hopeful mothers-to-be.). In five years' time, global warming will join Y2K, heterosexual AIDS, killer bees, the ozone hole (now worse than ever, btw), and shark summer as the punchline of a joke. And you'll be telling people that you always had your doubts about it, and never really believed it. (I know: I tell people I never wore bell bottoms.) The grownups will nod gravely, and shoot bemused sidelong glances at each other, too polite to guffaw out loud.
You heard it here first.
Brilliant! I thought you'd enjoy it as much as I did!
Hey, we're not the ones who believed the fad about Saddam having large quantities of WMD ready to attack the US with his Al Quida friends, are we?
At least those of us who believe that human beings are contributing to some unknown extent to the current warming of the earth's atmosphere, and who are concerned about the potential effects such warming may result in, HAVEN'T BEEN PROVEN WRONG ... yet.
I disagree -- well, kinda. Rush calls it the half-vast left-wing's religion. It's also another way to segregate, and to distinguish, the haves from the have-nots. It's a caste system.
It's not that the Laurie Davids and the Algores actually believe this claptrap; it's their way to tell the hoi pollois how to live. DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO.
Frankly, calling Global Warming a "fad" is completely ridiculous when it is the scientific consensus and endorsed by not only the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (which is required to include the opinions of countries who have absolutely no interest in seeing a cut-back on carbon-producing industries a la oil, like Saudi Arabia), but major American Scientific bodies as well like the American National Academy of the Sciences. It also ignores the wide body of scientific evidence supporting global warming. For a better telling on this, I strongly suggest you visit www.realclimate.org, a blog run by several scientists who work in global warming-related areas.
In a way, it's actually a testament as to why the disinformation campaigns run by companies such as Exxon-Mobil are so effective. They don't need to prove Global Warming wrong; they simply need to cast doubt and make successful Ad Hominem attacks against scientists associated with Global Warming.
WSJ Journal Editorial from 1984 Called for Open Borders
Anyone wondering if the Wall Street Journal's stance on the current "comprehensive immigration reform" bill being debated in the Senate (they support it) is a new phenomenon from this traditionally conservative paper can wonder no more.
It's not.
BizzyBlog has reproduced a WSJ editorial from July 3, 1984 entitled "In Praise of Huddled Masses." In it, the WSJ editorial board welcomes the idea of open borders, and labels those who would control our borders as "nativist patriots." (I guess that's better than calling us "scaremongering bigots.") The editorial also likens a border wall to keep illegals out to the former Berlin Wall, which was designed to keep miserable people in. Not much of a comparison, when you think about it.
I encourage you to head on over and read it in its entirety. As much as I am for capitalism and free enterprise, I bristle at the idea of America's corporate power players deciding that their desire for cheap labor is more important than not only our national security, but our national sovereignty.
Nobody would give much of a damn about this bill (except the unions, who are rabid against the guest-worker program deflating wages of their members) if we didn't have such a bloated entitlement program for our citizenry.
Why is it so difficult to grasp the notion of a series of smaller bills that do one specific thing at a time, i.e., border security? Why the need to cram a thousand-page tome down our throats?

On the campaign trail yesterday, Republican nominee contender Mitt Romney called Mrs. Bill Clinton's plans for bigger government and more social programs a "European caricature."
"Her view is the old, classic, European caricature that we describe of big government, big taxation, welfare state...She gave a speech a couple of days ago and laid out her vision for America. And as I listened to her I figured her platform wouldn't even get her elected in France."
I laughed when I read that, and apparently the jibe received real laughs in Sioux City, Iowa, where he made the speech.
Romney's right, of course. Just last month, France rejected socialism when they elected Nicolas Sarkozy, a conservative who wants to lessen the intrusion of government into industry and create a freer market that would in turn create more jobs in a country with double digit unemployment, highest among young adults.
Romney also brought up the successful statewide health plan he implemented when he was governor of Massachusetts. I don't know enough about it to comment, but I know I wouldn't be bragging about that to people in the Midwest, who tend to be more mistrustful of big government planning than the Socialist Commonwealth of Massachusetts, home of Teddy Kennedy and John Kerry, both of whom never met a socialist program they didn't like.
Check out this paragraph from the AP story:
In recent French elections, conservative Nicolas Sarkozy captured the presidency, defeating Segolene Royal in her bid to become France's first female president.
Notice that Sarkozy is labeled as a conservative (true), but Royal's status as a socialist is left out? Reading between the lines, one might think Royal was defeated because she was a woman, not because she wanted to keep France's failing socialism intact. You can bet that if Mrs. Bill Clinton is either not nominated or is nominated and loses the election that the press will be playing the sexist card, not admitting that her policies could possibly have anything to do with her defeat.
I like Romney and although he's not my first choice, we could certainly do worse for a president. I'm not worried so much about his good looks as his policies, unlike out-of-work actor Ben Affleck, whose complaints about Romney on Real Time with Bill Maher last week included his being "all clean cut and he looks like a Ken doll." But then that ends up being a compliment, even Romney's being a Mormon, as Affleck went on to say Rudy Giuliani is "crazy" and John McCain is "completely insane."
This is how the great political minds in Hollywood think. Thank goodness "actor/activists" like Affleck aren't really running anything but their mouths.

I liked this part best: "Romneys main mouth Eric Fehrnstrom, when asked to comment about the Affleck rant, told the Track in an e-mail: I think the polite thing to say is no comment. We dont spend a lot of time thinking about what Hollywood actors are saying about the presidential campaign.
And when was the last time Mr. Afflicted indicated he supported our troops...He's from the Sean Penn school of activism apparently.
