I have absolutely no problem with the Cordoba Mosque. If they wish to build this mosque for the sake of tolerance and to advance the cause of peace and harmony among all, then it should be built - but only if the following conditions are met.
A church, a synagogue, a buddhist temple, perhaps a wiccan grove must be built in Mecca to truly establish once and for all that Islam is a religion of peace and one secure enough to prove it's superiority through ideals only.
These religious establishments must be funded wholly by external financial sources. If Cordoba house can be funded by rich multibillionare oil sheiks, then American evangelists should be able to raise the funds without fear of harassment.
Any and all who wish to worship at these holy establishments should be free to do so without interference, whether instigated by the state or by individuals. This is to be expected in a tolerant society.
If any wish to convert, they should be free of the fear of death. Christians, Jews , Hindus and Buddhists don't threaten their lapsed, nor do they seek to kill those who've left their respective faiths.
"What you've seen in some of the statements that have been made by these terrorist organizations is that they do not regard African life as valuable in and of itself. They see it as a potential place where you can carry out ideological battles that kill innocents without regard to long-term consequences for their short-term tactical gains." - Barack Obama
He doesn't get it, does he? Well, of course he doesn't - we all know he doesn't.
Earlier this week, Andrea Mitchell of NBC had to apologize on-air for characterizing western Virginia as “redneck, sort of bordering-on-Appalachia country.”
During a report on the Obama campaign, she had been comparing that part of the state to northern Virginia, which she characterized as a "high-tech corridor." In other words, the classy area near Washington D.C. where she likes to hang out.
Clue to Andrea: western Virginia is part of Appalachia. Get an atlas.
Remember when Don Imus got fired for calling black girls on a basketball team "nappy headed hos?" A tasteless comment, yes, and he apologized too...but got canned by MSNBC anyway. Yet Andrea Mitchell, another NBC employee, makes an equally offensive remark characterizing an entire region, apologizes, and life goes on. But you see, since she made her comment about the "wrong kind" of people - in this instance white people who live in rural areas - it's okay. How does that grab you?
For the record: I don't think Andrea Mitchell should be fired for being an idiot. But Imus shouldn't have been fired either. It's the blatant double standard that ticks me off.
It's okay to make offensive remarks...just make sure they're about rednecks.
Trust me, we rednecks don't give a crap if she calls us out. At least we don't work in the media, that would mean that we were stupid. A study found that the lowest IQs were found in journalism schools.
Katrina vs. California Wildfire: Double Standard Time
Last night on Bill O'Reilly, I saw a clip of Jamie Lee Curtis ranting that the fact that so many people live in the areas hit by the wildfires is part of the reason for those fires, and that they have themselves to blame. (Never mind the arson investigation.) And George Carlin is saying something similar.
But why is it okay to blame the residents of Southern California for the fact that their homes were destroyed just because they live there, when it wasn't okay to blame the destruction of homes in New Orleans on the residents for living there? New Orleans has been described as a soup bowl. It also sits behind huge levees that hold back the Mississippi River and Lake Ponchartrain, and on the other side there's the Gulf of Mexico. The city continues to sink, and some experts believe it will completely surrounded by the Gulf in less than 100 years.
But it wasn't nice to say "mean" things about New Orleans. Yet the same amount of homes have been affected by fires in California, and now it's time to blame the home owners?
I believe anyone who lives in an area prone to high risks such as wildfire, flooding, hurricanes and so on should be able to do so -- but don't come crying to the taxpayer to bail you out when *gasp* your home is destroyed in a disaster that was bound to happen eventually simply by the nature of the area you live in.
I'm sorry for those who lost their homes in California, just as I'm sorry for those who lost theirs in New Orleans. But lets keep the same standard when it comes time to apportion blame. And let's at least wait until the flames die down.
Oh, and when is Jamie Lee Curtis going to set an example and move away from the Southern California tinderbox? Or is that just another liberal example of "do as I say"?
On another note, it's refreshing to see competent local and state governments dealing with this disaster. No one was left stranded like in New Orleans, there was plenty of supplies and shelter for refugees, and while people like Barbara Boxer were ready to blame the war in Iraq for there not being enough National Guard personnel available, it turns out that 17,000 were ready and available, but aren't needed as of yet. And the feds were there too, ready to step up when needed. (If you watch the O'Reilly video linked above, you'll see Schwarzenegger giving it to a reporter from ABC for "looking" for bad news. Classic!)
One more question: where's the international outpouring of aid and support? Ooh, that's right...no one cares when it happens to us.
Pam, are there possibilities of storms, droughts, fires, hurricanes, or any other sort of disaster near where you live? If any of these things happened on such a massive scale that almost a MILLION people had to leave their homes (like my folks in SoCal), would you expect the government to say, "eh -- they chose to live there, so we can't burden the other taxpayers with helping them out!"?
Ugh -- I can't even tell if you are saying we should have compassion for those who have lost their homes unlike those crazy liberal movie stars, or that we shouldn't have compassion for them because they live in a densely packed area and our tax money goes to disaster relief.

Pam, if there wasn't anything to complain about, people would start something on their own, and then, blame the other guy for starting it.
seeing Hillary and Bill Clinton EVERYWHERE again, like a Wildfire or a Hurricane of Corruption, is turning my fall blue.
At lease IRAQ is showing great results, as al Qaeda is losing, and the US is winning.
I agree, it is refreshing to see more competent local Government.
Blanco at least paid for her pathetic efforts.
Ms. Curtis is correct in many aspects, as when I lived in the LA arena, every year those areas burned, and then they rebuilt, with massive cost to everyone else.
Such is the California experience...
There are soooo many people, it is no wonder the creep into some dangerous environments grows.
Perhaps they should be building more ENVIRO-friendly...
Where is that NOBEL winner, and why didn't he build the fire proof abode?
Ego goes a long way, especially fighting fire.
Wouldn't it be a nice gesture, if Hillary decided to end her campaign for the Presidency, donating all her money to the victims of the California fires, and Bill did the same with the Library and Ponzi Foundation?
Back in 2004, Byron York took a look at the origins of Media Matters for America. Since the group is currently creating a false controversy over something Rush Limbaugh supposedly said about our soldiers (one that Senate Dems have only been too happy to jump into), National Review is re-running the piece today. It's a must-read if you'd like to know more about this group and its agenda.
Oh, and you must read Ann Coulter's take on the whole thing...masterful and amusing as always.
Speaking of which, I'll be joining Andrea Shea-King on her Blogtalk Radio show tonight at 9pm Eastern to discuss it the attack on Limbaugh and its implications for free speech -- not just for conservatives, but everyone. Click here to listen, and click here to join the chat room. We hope you'll join us!
UPDATE: MSNBC's Norah O'Donnell cuts off Sgt. Mark Seavey from the American Legion when he tries to explain the plural "soldiers" that has everyone in a tizzy, and then gives the Vote Vets guy the "last word." She also seems to imply by the gravity of her tone that Clear Channel's CEO should have heeded the letter written by Harry Reid and his merry band of senators and forced Rush to apologize. Check it out:
It's no surprise that Dems jump on this kinda thing, even when they're so obviously wrong. It is appalling, however, that some of the very ones screaming the loudest are the same ones who have been the most unpatriotic toward our soldiers. The chutzpah of the Dems knows no bounds.
Hugo Chavez is a sensitive guy. So sensitive, in fact, that he's decided to monitor the speech of foreign visitors to Venezuela...and if they say anything that hurts Hugo's feelings, they are to be deported.
The comments came after the President of Mexico's ruling conservative party criticized Chavez for seeking to do away with term limits at a recent pro-democracy conference in Caracas. "No foreigner, whoever it is, can come here to attack us," Chavez said. "How long are we going to allow a person, from any country in the world, to come to our own house to say there's a dictatorship here, that the President is a tyrant, and no one does anything about it?"
Indeed! Of course, that standard doesn't apply to Hugo, as he felt free to call President Bush the "Devil" when he visted the U.N. last year which, for those of you who forget, is in New York City. He also made similarly derogatory remarks during a speech in Harlem on the same trip.
Leftwingers here should be taking note that the freedom they enjoy that allows them to compare President Bush to Hitler does not exist in that utopian paradise Venezuela. But I'm sure that irony is lost upon many.
A government that cannot stand up to criticism is not a government of free men, but a tyranny. Only those who know their power has not been bestowed upon them by the people, but snatched in a power grab, feel the need to shut anyone up who would dare to speak out against them -- lest others begin to question the legitimacy of said leaders.
We'll be hearing about re-education camps and gulags next in sunny Venezuela.
Sticks and stones may break bones, but your namecalling really hurts me!
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 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.

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.

There are certainly a variety of particulars like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to carry up. I offer the thoughts above as basic inspiration however clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where a very powerful factor can be working in sincere good faith.

Needed to compose you that very little word to be able to say thanks a lot yet again for your striking tactics you have shared on this site. It has been surprisingly open-handed of you to present publicly what exactly numerous people might have sold as an e-book to end up making some cash for themselves, especially now that you might have done it if you desired. Those basics also worked to be the good way to recognize that someone else have similar fervor really like mine to figure out many more on the subject of this issue.

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.

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...
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).
Ed Lasky reports over at American Thinker that Senator Bill Frist has been completely cleared of insider trading charges regarding the company his family founded, Hospital Corporation of America. The MSM was all over it at the time, as you can see by this, this and this.
That was then, this is now.
Now that Senator Frist has been completely cleared of the charges of insider trading, I have not seen this reported anywhere - not in the New York Times, for example. However, at least the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal takes note of Frist's innocence and also of the witch hunt that afflicted him and that seemingly drove him from public life.
Frist may well ponder the question first posed by former U.S. Secretary of Labor Ray Donovan-who, while serving in the Reagan Administration, was also slandered with charges later proved to be false: "Which office do I go to get my reputation back".
Meanwhile, the MSM also continues to ignore allegations that Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) had a conflict of interest while she was chair of a Senate subcommittee that oversees military construction. Several lucrative contracts went to the company her husband owns.

Excellent blog here! Also your website loads up fast! What host are you using? Can I get your affiliate link to your host? I wish my website loaded up as fast as yours lol
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
Mrs. Bill Clinton, Joe Biden, Evan Bayh, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Jay Rockefeller, John Edwards, Howard Dean: all of these politicians who are now saying going into Iraq was a mistake didn't think so a few years back. Here they are in their own words. (This little film, sponsored by GOP.com, takes a few minutes to load, and is less than four minutes in length.)
Facts can sometimes be an inconvenient thing. Especially for a certain presidential candidate who now says things like, "If I had been president in October of 2002, I would not have started this war." Back then, she said, I can support the president, I can suport an action against Saddam Hussein because I think it's in the long-term interests of our national security." This piece is loaded with that and other tasty little tidbits.
Is this your excuse? Seriously? After 6 years of republicans in the majority? This is why the republicans are screw ups? The Democrats made them do it?
If you haven't been questioning the Dems' attack on Alberto Gonzalez firing eight US attorneys yet, it's time to get your head out from under that rock. One of the most obvious "crock alert" soundings is that Janet Reno, of the Clinton administration, fired all 93 US attorneys in a "joint decision" with the White House. All 93? That's a whole lot of pink slips. If nothing else, environmentalists should have jumped on them for wasting paper on all the paperwork involved with such a huge sweep.
Then, there's the possibility that ongoing investigations will put Dems in a bad light (h/t Kitty).
But the clincher that screams "political expediency" is this: Hillary Clinton's campaign is sending out an e-mail asking supporters to "join" her in asking Gonzalez to resign. (Thanks to The Man for passing it on. If anyone else would like to see it, I'd be happy to forward it.) This passage jumped out at me:
Why should Gonzales resign? Because he is at the center of a widening scandal over the firing of several U.S. attorneys -- firings we now know to be political. These attacks on the impartiality of the federal government's prosecutors are a genuine threat to the foundations of our justice system.
It's so bad that one U.S. attorney in Arkansas was fired to make room for a former aide to Karl Rove.
One US attorney was fired to make room for a Rove crony? Does Hillary conveniently forget that the entire staff of the White House Travel Office was fired to make room for her political cronies Darnell Martens and Harry Thomason? Claiming that there was "misconduct" in the Travel Office, seven longtime employees were hustled out, forced to leave the White House grounds on the floor in the back of a van. The FBI was called in, and reputations were viciously and callously smeared in the quest to make the ouster look legitimate. (Billy Dale, the Travel Office head, was eventually tried for fraud but the jury acquitted him.) For a Travelgate refresher, click here.
Clinton supporters contend that the firings of the 93 US attorneys and the seven Travel Office employees were the right of the Clinton administration because anyone appointed to such positions serves at the pleasure of the president. This is true. It is also true that the eight US attorneys fired by Gonzalez served at the pleasure of the current president.
That the Democrats choose to start this obvious battle is very telling indeed.
News flash: the US attorney are "at will" employees who operate at the pleasure of the President. If they're not enacting administration policy, he is completely within the President's Constitutional powers to remove them. The Bush administration is doing the same thing the Clinton administration did, arguably however, in not such partisan fashion. But even if that were so, this so-called scandal is nothing more than more Democrat hypocrisy. And Hillary's demagoguing with the phrase "the politicization of our prosecutorial system" is about as pot-meet-kettle as it gets.
It's sad that Gonzales is losing his spine so quickly on this, admitting to "mistakes" that amount to a minor breach in protocol. And turncoats like John Sununu are quick to cave to Dem pressure.
The Republicans need to learn from Clinton's successful political strategies. Deny, deny, deny. And get ugly early.
I've avoided the Ann Coulter flap thus far because I've been thinking it over. I very often jump on a topic the moment it's hot because I want to get my two cents in along with the rest of the crowd, but this time, I've decided to mull it over longer than usual because there's more than just a slur involved.
The firestorm that has erupted over Coulter's use of the word "faggot" when referring to John Edwards on both sides of the aisle is the biggest I've seen since Mark Foley was caught out sending suggestive e-mails and IMs to teen interns. And, like the Foley case, a tremendous double standard has been applied.
When Bill Clinton was found out to have had inappropriate relations with Monica Lewinsky, who was of the age of consent but could be easily swayed by someone in a position of power, the left said it was his personal business that should not have been exposed to the light of day. When Foley was found out to have had inappropriate contact (he hadn't actually physically done anything) with male pages who were of the age of consent but could be easily swayed by someone in a position of power, the left cried out against it. Thing is, the right did too, and Foley was not only shown the door, but was the subject of condemnation by rightwing pundits.
Now, Ann Coulter called Edwards a "faggot" at CPAC, and the left is screaming for her head. So are many on the right. In fact, an open letter to CPAC organizers by many prominent rightwing bloggers asks them not to invite Coulter to future conventions, saying "the age of Ann has passed."
As usual, the right steps up to criticize one of its own when a trespass has been made. But what about the left?
Last Friday, Bill Maher made comments to the effect that if Dick Cheney were to die, other people might live. Tacky, offensive, out of line, and the right was all over it for days. But the left (including the MSM)? Nary a peep. HBO obviously didn't feel it was a problem. Yet Maher is well-known for such inflammatory statements. In fact, his contract with ABC for his former show, Politically Incorrect, was not renewed over his the "terrorists were not cowards" remark shortly after 9/11.
"These are sensitive times, and I should've been more clear when, in a discussion of how we have in the past conducted our war on terrorism, I said 'We have been the cowards. ... ' The problem there is the word 'we,' I think. It's indistinct, and I should've been more clear."
Perhaps if Maher had said what he did a few years later, he would not have lost his job. But emotions were riding high, and even the left was conscious of appearances. Now, however, the Bush administration is in the left's doghouse, and Maher's recent remark about Cheney can be chalked up to free speech, right?
Here's Coulter's clarification about her "faggot" comment:
"'Faggot isn't offensive to gays; it has nothing to do with gays," Coulter said on "Hannity and Colmes" Monday night. "It's a schoolyard taunt meaning 'wuss,' and unless you're telling me that John Edwards is gay, it was not applied to a gay person."
[...]
Coulter called the whole controversy another example of the mainstream media's "speech totalitarianism" and says she sees no reason to apologize for a joking comment that was taken out of context.
Coulter made a comment she says she meant as a joke and will not apologize for it. That shows courage, since in today's political world, we are immediately expected to apologize the minute someone is offended by something we say. What good does the apology do? If she's willing to accept the consequences of her actions, which may or not may include less guest appearances at conventions, fewer television appearances, decreased speaking invitations and the bottom falling out of her book sales, then so be it. It's called taking responsibility.
Those who wish to distance themselves from Coulter because they feel she doesn't help the conservative cause are certainly welcome to do so. Yet Coulter embodies something that the left has a lot of, but the right doesn't: someone who plays hardball. She plays by the left's rules, and the double standard applied to her comments in comparison with others (Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden making "jokes" at the expense of Indians; President Bush constantly being compared to Hitler and found lacking; Sen. Dick Durbin comparing our soldiers to Nazis; etc.), is breathtaking.
The right is constantly complaining that the left is trying to stifle free speech by imposing speech codes, some formal, some informal, rather than let people use their common sense. Speech codes on college campuses are a favorite target of the right. In Florida, a Democrat legislator is hoping to ban the "offensive" term "illegal alien." Elsewhere, legislators look to eradicate the "n" word.
The key, as always, is personal responsibility. If Coulter and others choose to use speech that is offensive to some, they should certainly accept whatever consequences come their way. Forced apologies do nothing, but serve to give publicity to those demanding the apology.
I have been a fan of Coulter for some years now, and admit that I will probably continue to be one. Her style is not for everyone, and she has had her fair share of detractors well before now. But until the left denounces those on their side who make similarly outrageous comments, I won't be shedding too many tears the next time Coulter offends.
(Rhymes with Right wonders why corporate sponsorship being pulled from Coulter's site is okay (and even encouraged) by the left, while boycotting of the Dixie Chicks by fans was considered unfair?)
I think its funny and sad.Funny because they are only individuals and they can be shut off and out. Sad because they have been pressured into apologizes for free speech. After all it was not long ago that Muslims were on the streets of New York demanding the holocaust of Jews and they were not being demanded to apologize or take sensitivity classes.Furthermore this detracts from the election and issues such as the chipping away of free speech.
BMeister, you make a well argued case. Better than most I've seen.
If we prosecuted 'free speech,'
Ted Kennedy and John Murtha would be doing 10 to 20;
the NY Times would be the new home for a check cashing corporation;
Michael Moore would have been turned over to the Sunnis for final retribution;
And the Dixie, I mean Yankee, Roadkill would be wearing their veils and flaunting it in Afghanistan.
I thought it might have been in bad taste, but it didn't bother me too much.
Interesting that so many conservatives want to throw her under the bus. When she first said it, the crowd cheered.
Here's perspective from Bruce Thornton at Victor Davis Hanson's website.
--excerpt--
"If you want to participate, you have to be able to take it. The only alternative is some sort of control by an elite that always ends up stifling the expression of ideas and serving a narrow political interest — exactly what we see today in our universities and media."
Anyone who gets their thong all twisted by something like this, needs to chill out and loosen up their baby-blue track pants and go back to their macrame.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — An airline employee led former Vice President Al Gore and two associates around airport security lines before police spotted the breach and required them to be screened, an airport spokeswoman said Thursday.
The American Airlines employee led the three down to the lower baggage level Wednesday and swiped each of them through a secure turnstile with her security badge, Nashville International Airport spokeswoman Lynne Lowrance said. She declined to identify the employee.
An airport officer assigned to escort Gore to his gate was to meet him at the security checkpoint, but Gore never came through, Lowrance said. The officer found Gore, his communications director Kalee Kreider and another staffer waiting at the gate for their flight.
The officer asked them if they went through security, and when they said they hadn't, they were taken back and fully screened. Gore did not complain and cooperated fully, Lowrance said.
"Everyone goes through security," she said of the employee's action. "It showed bad judgment. They were trying to be helpful, maybe too helpful."
Okay, bonus points for not complaining when getting caught receiving preferential treatment, but why didn't Gore insist on doing the right thing in the first place? The guy isn't a god (although his eco-followers think he is), nor is he VP any longer. He's a private citizen like the rest of us, and as such, has to follow the rules, as inconvenient as they may be.
Traveling to Wisconsin, the former vice president was pulled aside for random security screening at Reagan National Airport before boarding the 7:15 p.m. flight to Milwaukee on Friday.
Passengers sharing Flight 406 were startled to hear Gore being told, "Sorry, sir, you have to go through extra screening," and to witness security personnel rifling through his briefcase and suitcase, a witness said.
"You're looking out and seeing Al Gore's unmentionables in his big, carry-on suitcase," said Mark Graul of Green Bay. "You could tell he was thinking, 'This is not happening to me.'
"He did not have a happy look on his face. Basically the whole plane boarded before they got through looking through his stuff.
"He patiently went through it and then took a seat in the front row with, I assume, an aide," Graul said.
Perhaps any chance Gore can avoid having his organic cotton briefs and Tom's of Maine natural deodorant being flung about in front of the plebes, he'll take it.
And perhaps maybe he'll start a corporation that offers "airport security offsets" to people rich enough and important enough to pay for them?

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.

Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

By now, many of you following the Al Gore Environmental Circus have heard that the "carbon offsets" Gore purchases from Generation Investment Management are really purchases from himself, as he is one of the founders and serves as chair. As blogger Bill Hobbs notes, he's buying stocks, not offsets. Saving the planet? The only green thing Al Gore seems interested in comes in tens, twenties and fifties. (Can you say "tax dodge" boys and girls?)
Here we have a major American politician who is calling for policies that would impose huge costs on society but appears to be profiting handsomely himself; who is leading an extravagant lifestyle while demanding sacrifices from ordinary people; and who is calling on the media to suppress the views of those with whom he disagrees, while at the same time urging more government regulation in the name of "fairness" to his partisan and ideological allies.
Why is it left to think tanks and bloggers to investigate and expose all this? Why aren't the mainstream media all over the story? Could it be . . . bias?
I believe it was a caller to Rush Limbaugh yesterday that asked if he himself could start selling these "carbon credits". I don't recall Rush's exact answer (I was negotiating traffic), but the caller reasoned that he himself could take measures to save energy (and thus carbon dioxide), thus entitling him to sell some of those credits. I think Rush's answer was "maybe".
I suppose the fact that I have recycled aluminum cans for 30+ years means that I have saved "X-amount" of energy. Recycling saves about 95% of the electricity needed to make new aluminum from bauxite, so if I could estimate how much aluminum I recycle per average year...
One year in the 1980s, I made it a goal to hustle and recycle more than my body weight in a single year (about 180 lbs. at that time), by asking friends to save their cans. I did it, so can I still sell the carbon credits acquired that year?
So we don't affect good, productive Americans, maybe we can market these "lone wolf" carbon credits to the "Hollywood crowd".
George Soros is a Bush-hater extraordinaire and sugar daddy of many leftwing causes. He gave heavily to MoveOn.org and other "soft money" enterprises during the 2004 election in order to oust George Bush from the White House, and has been a harsh critic of the war in Iraq.
However, it turns out that Soros is businessman first, peacenik socialist second:
According to papers filed with the SEC, in the fourth quarter of 2006 Soros purchased nearly 2 million shares of ... hold your breath ... Halliburton. The Halliburton shares reportedly went for an average purchase price of $31.30 a share. That puts Soros' total investment in Halliburton at around $62.6 million, or about 2 percent of his total portfolio.
Only two percent of his portfolio? I wouldn't mind being able to spend $62.6 million...would you?
Halliburton? The evil corporation that survives much like a vampire does, by sucking the life out of victims (in this case soldiers)? Halliburton, once headed by Dick Cheney, who is only "out-evilled" by his boss Bush?
Don't expect principles to get in the way of accepting Soros' next big donation toward a leftwing cause, however. No matter how much they talk about the evils of money, they don't want to give up their share.
I've been complaining about the double standards of self-proclaimed ecologist and climate expert Al Gore for a while now, but Sean Hannity, on the most recent episode of his new Sunday show Hannity's America, really lets the bloated gas bag have it. Check it out. (h/t: Newsbusters) It won't stop Ol' Gassy's bloviating, but the more people who find out about the rules for him versus the rules for us, maybe they'll think twice about his eagerness to silence the critics of his theories.

WASHINGTON — A photograph and videotape of a Texas soldier dying in Iraq published by the New York Times have triggered anger from his relatives and Army colleagues and revived a long-standing debate about which images of war are proper to show.
The journalists involved, Times reporter Damien Cave and Getty Images photographer Robert Nickelsberg, working for the Times, had their status as so-called embedded journalists suspended Tuesday by the Army corps in Baghdad, military officials said, because they violated a signed agreement not to publish photos or video of any wounded soldiers without official consent.
[...]
Tom Rosenstiel, director of the Project for Excellence in Journalism in Washington, said the incident was typical of the dilemmas that face news organizations in war.
"The fact that a photograph upset people, even family members, is not always sufficient reason not to run it," Rosenstiel said. "Editors may decide that there is a compelling public interest in running a photograph precisely because it does upset an audience."
The agreement that journalists are asked to sign as a condition of embedding has 14 rules. Rule 11 covers military casualties: "Names, video, identifiable written/oral description or identifiable photographs of wounded service members will not be released without service member's prior written consent."
The ground rule goes on to say, "In respect for family members, names or images clearly identifying individuals 'killed in action' will not be released." The rule says names of soldiers killed can be released a day after family notification, but it does not address photographs or video images.
From what I gather, the video and photo that were released clearly identified the soldier, in violation of the ground rule.
As Steve from S&L notes,
If Sgt. Leija had been a POW, publishing photos of his dying would have violated the Geneva Conventions.
The legality of the photos/video can be decided by the powers that be. However, it's interesting to note who the media worries about offending, and who it doesn't.
The New York Times and many other news outlets would not post the Muhammed cartoons in order not to "offend" the sensibilities of Muslims. This, in spite of the fact that by the time the MSM had the opportunity to show them, they had become an important part of what was becoming a major international story, not just a gratuitous poke in the eye. The reason? Muslims are becoming a protected class Western society because of the fear of violent retribution they have managed to instill in the hearts and minds of many. (One Canadian town is taking a stand.) It's unlikely that Sgt. Leija's family will send a suicide bomber into the NYT's offices in order to get revenge for being offended.
In the aftermath of 9/11, news outlets stopped showing pictures of people jumping out of the windows of the Twin Towers because the images were "upsetting." Are the relatives of 9/11 victims more prone to being upset than by the relatives of slain soldiers?
Soldiers are not high on the list of respected people for leftwingers, and the MSM is highly populated with leftwingers. The MSM has been doing its level best to give us a negative picture of the war. To heighten that negative view, they chose to show Sgt. Leija's last tragic moments as a "lesson" in the brutalities of war and why we should pull out now: to avoid more such tragic ends to "children" whom are being "sent" into war. Therefore, his relatives are not worthy of the consideration due to the families of other people who meet a violent end.
Surely the memory of Sgt. Leija deserves better.
UPDATE (2/1/07, 3:05 pm): Here is Michelle Malkin's take on it.
Thanks Pam H/T goes to Sweetness-light they made me aware of this. Make sure you spread the word. MSM wont be to willing to tell on themselves and I am afraid this will Fade away.I want to see NY times in court and thats the least of sentiments where they need to go H**l!
Agreeing with Mike, I'd like to see Rosenstiel's 'compelling public interest' in court in a thousand places. Sue them. Especially if the NYT is a party.
Considering the considerable damage suffered by this country from the decisions of the NYTimes, it's not surprising to have them glamorize the death of an American soldier. I'm glad to see the blogosphere's condemnation. America must pull the Times down.
Came across this story got me wondering if this is why they did what they did:
http://www.breitbart.com/news/2007/01/31/D8N0AEB80.html
If this ties with that then them SOBs`
What could possibly be "compelling" to the public about watching a soldier - or anyone - die. I agree, why all the sensitivity about offending Muslims with political cartoons, but no sensitivity at all about publishing photos of someone dying...
January 28, 2007 -- COLUMBIA University President Lee Bollinger lives large. The educator, who pulls down an annual $685,930 in salary and benefits, had the largest expense account of any of the Ivy League school chiefs, racking up $93,743 for the 2004-2005 fiscal year, the student-run Columbia Spectator newspaper reports. The university declined to give Page Six a breakdown.
As Kitty says, "and they complain about CEOs." Where's the outrage? Aren't universities supposed to be above such petty things as (gasp) money? Aren't college-level educators worried about the wage gap between people who make as much as Bollinger and the rest of us? Ah, it's always different when you're the one making the big bucks, eh?
(BTW, Columbia is where the Minutemen were basically forced offstage by a bunch of student thugs. To my knowledge, Bollinger has yet to do something substantive about it.)
Arnold Kling at TCS Daily has part of the answer in reform. Apparently parents will not have enough sense to pull the strings upon the university system. (ONe writer has said that the government so subsidizes the average public education that the system is self perpetuating.) I am not sure how we get to the free market envisioned below.
(quote below)
"The best sign of a vibrant education sector would be more institutional failure. With sufficient competition and innovation, we would see colleges and universities fold or merge at the same rate as ordinary businesses. We would see schools shut down because parents send their children elsewhere. We would see large layoffs in some school systems, with hiring taking place among successful start-ups."
I have to say, a $700,000 salary is not that exorbinant when compared with the CEO salaries that the press is so outraged. I disagree with that outrage as well, but trying to draw a parallel to university presidents seems a bit thin to me.
Sure, many CEOs make much more than that. But I believe university presidents also have their housing provided. I'd love not to have to pay for a mortgage, etc.
I guess the point I was trying to make was that university personnel are often very vocal about their opposition to anyone who makes six figures or more...and that university presidents who make this kind of money with no one blinking an eye seems kind of hypocritical.
I don't get to listen to Rush, CPR or Sean Hannity at work anymore because the internet firewalls at my company don't allow for online streaming, and I can't get AM radio reception. So I miss my daily dose of live conservative commentary.
I wish I had been listening to Rush yesterday, but fortunately he posts a lot of good things that happen on his show on his website. A woman called yesterday from Nebraska to talk about how Nebraskans are dealing with the aftermath of back-to-back icestorms in late December, which she said had been likened to a class 5 hurricane. Here's part of the call transcript:
CALLER:...I realize that they are very serious ranching problems in Colorado but the fact that they are covering shoveling in Colorado and didn't mention that there were thousands of people in central Nebraska who were without power, just kind of floored me. But I do know why it wasn't coveted by the national media, and I kind of want to thank them, because we here are very independent, very self-sufficient, and extremely caring people. We are America's heartland.
RUSH: Flyover country.
CALLER: Mm-hmm. But --
RUSH: Well, that's what the liberals call it.
CALLER: Oh, flyover, that's right.
RUSH: You're just something they fly over on their way to their sophisticated hangouts on both coasts.
CALLER: That's true. But, you know, we're not newsworthy because our governor wasn't on television complaining that FEMA wasn't here at our door. What was going on here is what should happen in the midst of national disasters. People were looking out for everybody else. Everybody who had something was looking for how they could share it with their neighbor. People were looking out for old people who were without power. People were looking out for people with small children who were without power. People were driving out into the country to get people who were stranded in their homes. I know an electrician of mine who was hooking up generators for free. They had brought in power workers from all over the country, and I just want to say, "Thank you, thank you, thank you," to all the people who worked on this and were working 15 to 18 hour days in the cold and in the snow, working to get us back on our feet, and everybody here, there was no whining. There was no complaining. There was power that was out for weeks!
RUSH: Great, and there was no FEMA --
CALLER: Yeah, there was no FEMA.
RUSH: -- and there was no FEMA in Denver, and there was no media anywhere blaming Bush for causing the national disaster.
CALLER: Exactly.
RUSH: There was no media demanding that FEMA show up.
CALLER: Mmm-hmm.
RUSH: And you know why? Because nobody in the media cares about you.
CALLER: Well, because we're not whiners and complainers. We're not exactly what make big news.
RUSH: Yeah, but it's not that.
CALLER: We're not busy cursing the darkness. We're too busy lighting our candle. We are trying to find our own way out of what is befalling us. I can tell you I am so grateful to live among the people that I live with, and I just cannot say enough how proud I am.
RUSH: Well, let me tell you something.
CALLER: Mmm-hmm?
RUSH: People would be tempted -- in listening to you, Ann, people would be tempted -- to think that your description of events is what's unique in this country. Sadly, that's not the case. Your description of how neighborhoods and states band together and help themselves in times of trouble like this is quite common in this country, because the people of this country are good people. What's unique and unfortunate is the kind of reaction we got after Hurricane Katrina. It's not all that unique, but there are people who have been raised to sit around and wait for the government to do whatever it is that they need done. They know nothing else. So you go to these very liberal enclaves and those attitudes exist. I've always found it fascinating that, in that big snowstorm, the ice storms that you're describing, there was more coverage of the cattle that were stranded than of the 44 people that they had to dig out of cars and so forth who had died.
That got reported, but all this media was showing helicopters dropping hay and other kind of things for wildlife that was stranded out there to eat. It's not hard to understand why that was not sexy to the media. For one thing, the skin color was wrong. It would be hard to make victims out of people like that. But New Orleans was made to order. New Orleans fits a template of American liberalism -- or the aftermath of Katrina, I should say, fits a template -- and that is, we still have a two-class society in this country: "Poor black people, and they are not cared for. "They are not liked. They are ignored, and if we could, we'd just find a way to be done with them," and that's what the media thinks a lot of people in this country have as a racist attitude. So here came this hurricane, and here came all this destruction, and here comes the government totally ill-equipped to deal with something this large. No bureaucracy anywhere could have, and you throw in the hatred of George W. Bush and the desire to do anything possible to ruin his administration, and it's like the Duke rape case.
That fits a template, a societal template that the left has. Look at the way the University administration there reacted! The minute the charges were made, the lacrosse team is shut down, the coach is fired and the kids are kicked out of school. One shred of evidence has not ever been produced to say these kids did it, and yet the faculty and everybody was demanding that they be run out of Durham, run out of town forever, because it fits a template that liberals and the media in this country have. What happened to you doesn't fit a template. It's ignored. It's not interesting to them -- and the success stories are not what they're about. They're not going to run around and do stories on how well you all banded together and people sacrificed and the electrician you're talking about was donating generators. That's not sexy. That's not news. They want victims. They want destruction. They want death and they want mayhem that they can show, so that they can then point fingers of blame at it! Plus, it'd be very hard for them to get there. It was an ice storm and it was snow. They'll stand out in the middle of the street in the cities where they live to report that it's snowing, but to actually go into that mess themselves -- and some of the airports were closed, it was a convenient excuse not to get there, just take local footage from the helicopters that were flying around shooting things. It's a great story. I'm glad you called, Ann. Thanks much.
Nebraskans going through hardships in the aftermath of a tremendous storm, and the media barely mentions it. But with Katrina and New Orleans, you had round the clock coverage for weeks. And they're still harping on it.
And the libs want to put fetters on programs like Rush's by reinstating the Fairness Doctrine because they don't like for their hypocrisy to be highlighted. This is why now, more than ever, we need these alternative voices to the pap being spoonfed to the American public by the MSM.
What if a congressman violated Congressional ethics standards and no one cared?
Congressman Jim McDermott (D-WA) was found to have violated Congressional ethics standards when he leaked an illegally taped phonecall between then-Republican House speaker Newt Gingrich and GOP leaders.
In a report released days after Congress adjourned, the ethics panel said that McDermott, a former ranking member of the panel, failed to meet his obligations as a committee leader.
"Representative McDermott's secretive disclosures to the news media ... risked undermining the ethics process regarding" former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, the report said.
McDermott's actions "were not consistent with the spirit of the committee's rules," the panel added in a 25-page report.
The committee took no further action beyond release of the report.
With their votes, the American people asked for change. They cast their ballots in favor of a New Direction.
They called for greater integrity in Washington, and Democrats pledge to make this the most honest, ethical, and open Congress in history.
Now some of you may be saying, "But it was almost ten years ago! Water under the bridge." I say baloney. It may have taken ten years to finally come to a conclusion on this fiasco, but McDermott needs to be taken to task.
How about this, from a speech by McDermott posted on his own website?
Freedom in America does not mean granting the government unlimited and unchecked powers to snoop into private lives without any counterbalance.
Last time I checked, individuals (Congressmen or no) weren't given that right either. At least the Bush administration is trying to stop another terrorist attack by Islamofascists on American soil. And the phone surveillance progam is kosher, by the way. What was McDermott trying to do? Sully the name of a fellow politician in the hopes of torpedoing him. Yet McDermott is given a pass by Nancy "Ethics Queen" Pelosi and her cronies.
"New Direction" indeed. Sounds like business as usual to me.
I love it when the Dems rant and rave about "The Culture of Corruption," but suffer immediate amnesia when some "source" leaks a White House memo or other backdoor shenanigans that further their cause.

Wasn't McDermott one of the ones that visited Saddam in Baghdad, right before our invasion and announced that Saddam had more credibility than President Bush?

"We want to take the country in a new direction, not just for privileged America," Pelosi said in a jab at Bush and his fellow Republicans who had been in control of Congress.
What’s interesting about Nancy Pelosi is that she and her husband not only are very influential in the Democrat Party, they’re very wealthy. With Nancy Pelosi, her commitment to organized labor essentially ends when it comes to her own businesses. Nancy Pelosi and her husband own a Napa Valley vineyard that’s worth about $25 million. They grow very expensive grapes for very expensive wines, and they don’t use members of the United Farm Workers to pick their grapes. This winner of the Cesar Chavez award hires only hire non-union contractors.
There are plenty of union contractors in Napa Valley and there are other wineries that use them, its’ just that the Pelosis don’t have happen to among them. They also sell their grapes to non-union wineries. They recently held investments in two other wine businesses that were also strictly non-union.
But it gets even worse than that. Nancy Pelosi and her husband also own a chain of restaurants and a hotel in Napa Valley, California. Despite her public commitment to the Hotel Employees & Restaurant Employees Union, you better not join that union and work for the Pelosis, because you will end up getting fired. For example, they are partners in a hotel with 250 employees, which is strictly non-union. They are among the very few owners of Piati, a chain of Italian restaurants with 900 employees. Again, if you try to join the union when you work for the Pelosis in their restaurant, you will be fired.
One other issue for Nancy Pelosi. I hate to pick on her, but it’s just so inviting. As they say in the military, it’s a target-rich environment. With Nancy Pelosi, another big issue is the environment. She always makes statements that, with us, the environment is not an issue, it’s an ethic, it’s a value. Which is a nice way of saying, “I love the environment, but not when it comes to our own businesses.” A lot of people don’t realize that, in 1996, Nancy Pelosi and her husband and fewer than 10 other partners wanted to build a golf course and country club outside of San Jose, California, called the CordeValle Country Club. In order to get approval to build on these 275 acres, they had to comply with some very stringent county environmental regulations. Now the California tiger salamander and the Western pond turtle are apparently endangered species and they’re very, very common on these 275 acres that the Pelosis wanted to develop.
So the agreement they struck with local regulators was, we’ll build the golf course, we’ll set up some holding ponds and we’ll create a natural habitat to make sure that these environmental endangered species survive.
Of course, they built the golf course. It opened in 2000. If you want to join, the membership is $250,000. But they never followed the environmental regulations. The ponds were never built for these endangered species. For seven years, they also failed to file any of the environmental reports required by the California Fish and Wildlife Commission. A 2004 County Environmental Compliance Report found all kinds of environmental problems on the Pelosis’ golf course.
Remember with Nancy Pelosi, her commitment to the environment is not just an issue, it’s an ethic and a value. What does that actually mean in practical terms? Did they turn around and build this habitat and comply? No, they solved the problem the old-fashioned way: they hired lobbyists and they got the environmental regulations changed. So if you go to the CordeValle Country Club today and play golf, it’s a wonderful course, but there will be no holding ponds. There will be no endangered species and the Pelosis seem to be quite happy with that.
So the next time Nancy Pelosi or some of her Democratic friends start spouting off about privileged America, be aware that they are a part of that population. And take what they say or propose with the proverbial grain of salt.
Unlike Nancy Pelosi, a vast number of Republicans clearly understand that it is a privilege to BE an American! Pelosi and her gang of leftwingnuts don't understand that.

Democrats and their MSM cheerleaders have been pummeling Republicans with the Mark Foley e-mail/IM scandal. Despite the fact that House Speaker Dennis Hastert says he knew nothing about the IMs and what little he knew of the e-mails was not deemed worthy of investigation by the FBI, Democrats are demanding that he step down. They keep on asking, "Who knew what and when?"
Will they be asking the same questions of Minority Leader Harry Reid and the rest of the Democratic leadership in the Senate?
Reid, it has been discovered, collected $1.1 million in a land sale in Las Vegas on land that he no longer owned privately, but had transferred it to an associate in exchange for a stake in that associate's company. Reid did not disclose any of this on his annual ethics report, which is in direct violation of Senate ethics.
According to Reid and his aids, he continued to pay all taxes on the land between its initial purchase in 1998 and eventual sale to developers who wanted to build a shopping center in 2004. The question is, if everything was on the up and up, why not include it on your ethics report, Senator Reid?
What's also interesting is that the land was part of a government land swap deal that Reid supported. It looks like a real conflict of interest. As a public servant, Reid is not supposed to profit from the public policies he supports and/or creates.
This is not a paltry sum we are talking about. Reid more than doubled his initial investment, bringing in more than a million smackers. And with the Democrats saying that Republicans are mired in a "culture of corruption," one would think that they would be the first to admit to an error in judgment, and ask Reid to either step down as Minority Leader at the very least.
Funny thing, though: Reid hung up on the AP reporter who called asking for comment on the story. As Mark Levin pointed out on his radio show last night, the story broke on the AP...not exactly a bastion of Republican support. He also pointed out that there were no anonymous sources, which so often accompanies these kinds of stories, so it doesn't sound like one of those conservative hit jobs we've been hearing so much about lately. And don't expect it to be on the front page of the New York Times. I took a quick glance at its home page today and saw no story (but Foley is still being talked about). It is on the Washington Post's home page, although you have to scroll down a bit.
Don't get your hopes up, though. Harry Reid will still be Minority Leader and Democrats will rally round him, saying he did nothing wrong. It won't be like Tom DeLay, who was hounded out of his leadership post (and isn't seeking reelection) because he was indicted for funnelling money into Texas legislative races and for having a connection to Jack Abramoff.
After all, being a Democrat has its privileges. One of them is never having to admit you're wrong.

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.

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.

For a while now Pepsi has been known for making and selling oddly flavored versions of their famous Pepsi soda. They’ve experimented with clear, white, clear, red, and now they’re going blue with Pepsi blue.
However this turns out, this is the last time I'll be discussing it at length here.
First off, let me say that what Mark Foley did was wrong. Even though he never approached any of them or had physical contact (that we know of), it should be considered harassment by a man in a position of power over young volunteers. The only correct thing Foley has done in this sorry episode is to have stepped down as Congressman.
There is word that the IMs he sent were to a young man of legal age. While it does not excuse Foley for abusing his position, the Democrats now have one less thing to bleat about. ("It's about the children!")
What I cannot believe -- or rather, I should say I can believe -- is the way the Democrats are playing the old double standard card with absolutely no shame. This is the party:
-that continues to support a man who walked away from a serious accident, leaving a young woman to drown, because his reputation as a married man was obviously more important than her life.
-that gave us Congressman Gerry Studds, who was proven to have been in a physical relationship with a 17-year-old male page. Studds was merely censured, not forced to step down, and was re-elected five times.
-that told us then-fifty-something Bill Clinton's "indiscretions" with then-19-year-old Monica Lewinsky were private and that we should just "move on." (Catchy name, eh?)
-that would rather celebrate Jim McGreevey's "coming out" as a gay man than what prompted his sudden decision to make his personal life public: his extremely corrupt administration.
-that gave us Congressman William Jefferson (D-LA), who was found to have $90,000 in bribery money in his freezer. The same William Jefferson who used National Guard troops to bring personal property out of his home in the aftermath of Katrina. Jefferson was asked to step down from a lucrative committee assignment, but was not asked to step down from his Congressional seat.
-that excused Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-RI) for his DUI incident in Washington DC earlier this year.
When a Democrat shows human flaws, we are supposed to forgive and understand. When a Republican shows the same human flaws, we are supposed to roast him over the proverbial coals until he smokes.
Rot.
We need to hold all of our elected officials to higher standards, no matter what the party. And we need to apply the law to all of our elected officials in the same way it is held to ordinary citizens. Unlike the royalty we sought to escape back in 1776, we are all equal before the law. This includes those who make the laws.
Mark Foley abused his power, but those who knew about it and sat on the story until it was politically expedient are just as culpable in this mess. They too need to be held accountable.
I note in regards to Clinton, the issue for myself, was that the Chief Law Enforcement Officer was willing to lie, manipulate, undermine the laws in this Country.
His predator nature was clearly on display, and the unethical nature of exploiting an intern who worked in the White House was pathetic enough. It was also revealing, that this troubled fool, was not paying attention to the job, with 2am phone calls to this youth.
However, with his history of abuses against people who worked for him, mixed with the idea he would abuse Our laws, to try to hide his ugly behavior, was sound reason for his removal. A sitting President being held in contempt in his own sexual harrassment trial says it all.
And Democrats went out of their way to defend him, and promote this negligence...
In fact, we now know, the MSM hid much of the concerning nature of Bill Clinton's past to the American Public to aid his election.
Now, it appears the partisans in ABC, with groups funded by Soros, have orchestrated the exploitation of a deeply troubled Congressman named Foley.
They are now doing the exact opposite (as opposed to Bill's folly), to try to empower Democrats. It is not about News, or the victim of a troubled predator, but the push to give Democrats power.
Terrific post, Pam! Has anyone ever noticed that when Republicans cross the line and there is ample evidence of it (Cunningham, Ney, Packwood) or even, often, when there is not (Gingrich, Delay, Scarborough), they are rooted out of office by their own, but Democrats rally around the cretins (you forgot Barney Frank, by the way) and start calling the accusers dirty names? How interesting.
And the Studds thing in particular (he was given a standing ovation by the members of his party following his censure and then elected to head a prime committee by them) shows the Dems to be absolutely ridiculous hypocrites here. It's a shame more folks don't follow politics closely enough to notice these things. Sigh...
Yesterday it was Bill Clinton, Madeleine Albright and Sandy Berger who were whining and whinging about the portrayal of the Clinton administration in the years leading up to 9/11, and asking for certain scene changes. Now Democrat leaders are actually warning ABC to pull the miniseries.
John Kerry said the following about Republicans earlier this year, but he may as well be talking about his own party today:
America has always been stronger when we have not only proclaimed free speech, but listened to it. Yes, in every war, there have been those who demand suppression and silencing. And although no one is being jailed today for speaking out against the war in Iraq, the spirit of intolerance for dissent has risen steadily, and the habit of labeling dissenters as unpatriotic has become the common currency of the politicians currently running our country.
Dismissing dissent is not only wrong, but dangerous when America's leadership is unwilling to admit mistakes, unwilling to engage in honest discussion of the nation's direction, and unwilling to hold itself accountable for the consequences of decisions made without genuine disclosure, or genuine debate.
So I urge you to write to ABC and urge them to run the 9/11 miniseries as scheduled. Artistic license was not a problem for the Democrats when many prominent party members attended the premiere of Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11, a movie highly critical of the Bush administration. The hypocrisy demonstrated here is staggering, especially when one considers that Moore's movie was made while Bush was president, and the ABC miniseries is being aired 5 years after Clinton's term ended. And the Bush administration, as usual, took the high road and said nothing about Moore's film. (Nor did they say anything about the upcoming film Death of a President, which fictionalizes President Bush's assassination.)
As Rush Limbaugh said on his show yesterday, people usually start squawking when criticism hits close to home. We can't let the Democrats get away with what amounts to censorship and a denial of First Amendment rights because they are unhappy with a movie's portrayal of Bill Clinton. ABC has already altered some scenes. They shouldn't cave in any more.
Funny how you don't comment on the fact that the producers & directors of this miniseries admit they just made shit up for "dramatic effect"! The've basically admitted this is out and out propaganda. No broadcast network aired "Farenheit 911." By giving the stamp of approval to this piece of garbage, ABC is lowering itself to the level of Fox "News." You right-wingers are amazing. You can't hold your own in a real argument, so you're fine with just lying about your opponents' conduct and their positions. Then you take pride in the lies. You repeat them, and even embellish them. You obviously have learned from history, mostly from the likes of Goebbels and Stalin. You guys made the phrase "swift boat" synonymous with bullshit. Pretty sad that a political movement would take such pride in being characterized by a contempt for the truty.

It seems Barack Obama is not practicing what he preaches. After extolling the virtue of driving hybrids and exhorting others to shun SUVs, the good senator drove away in a GNC Envoy. His rep spun a yarn about the Envoy being a Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV), but according to Drudge, this particular car is not yet ready for the fuel blend.
I guess Obama is joining the "Do As I Say, Not As I Do" club, whose president is none other than Al "I Like Being Noticed" Gore.
Barack Obama rides in one of these, but doesn't want you to!
Being associated with any symbol that reminds one of Naziism in our society is taboo -- and for good reason. (Why do you think leftists love to call President Bush Hitler and his supporters Nazis? Nothing like comparing them to one of history's most evil villains and his henchmen.) But Jeff Jacoby has a few observations:
Nazi regalia may be strictly taboo, but communist emblems have never been trendier. Enter "hammer and sickle" into a shopping search engine, and up pop dozens of products adorned with the Marxist brand -- T-shirts and ski caps, bracelet charms and keychains, posters of Lenin and "Soviet Kremlin Stainless Steel Flasks."
The glamorization of communist imagery is widespread. On West 4th Street in Manhattan, the popular KGB Bar is known for its literary readings and Soviet propaganda posters. In Los Angeles, the La La Ling boutique sells baby clothing emblazoned with the face of Che Guevara, Fidel Castro's bloody henchman. At the House of Mao, a popular eatery in Singapore, waiters in Chinese army uniforms serve Long March Chicken, and a giant picture of Mao Zedong dominates one wall.
"A French government agency, the National Lottery, was crazy enough to use Stalin and Mao in one of its advertising campaigns," observed Stephane Courtois in his introduction to The Black Book of Communism, a scholarly survey of communist crimes. "Would anyone even dare to come up with the idea of featuring Hitler or Goebbels in its commercials?"
What explains such "communist chic?" How can people who would never dream of drinking in a pub called Gestapo cheerfully hang out at the KGB Bar? If the swastika is an undisputed symbol of unspeakable evil, can the hammer-and-sickle and other emblems of communism be anything less?
The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled against a California student the right to wear a t-shirt to school that says the following:
"Be Ashamed, Our School Embraced What God Has Condemned'' (on the front) and "Homosexuality Is Shameful'' (on the back)
The ruling is as follows:
"We conclude that'' Poway High School student Tyler Harper's wearing of his T-shirt " 'collides with the rights of other students' in the most fundamental way,'' wrote 9th Circuit Judge Stephen Reinhardt, quoting a passage from Tinker vs. Des Moines Independent Community School District, a seminal U.S. Supreme Court decision on the free speech rights of students.
"Public school students who may be injured by verbal assaults on the basis of a core identifying characteristic such as race, religion, or sexual orientation have a right to be free from such attacks while on school campuses. As Tinker clearly states, students have the right to 'be secure and to be let alone,' '' Reinhardt said.
"Being secure involves not only the freedom from physical assaults but from psychological attacks that cause young people to question their self-worth and their rightful place in society. The 'right to be let alone' has been recognized by the Supreme Court … as the most comprehensive of rights and the right most valued by civilized men,'' Reinhardt said.
In other words, certain groups of people are being told that they are guaranteed the right not to have their feelings hurt.
Isn't that what this is all about?
One caveat: I believe that schools have the right to enforce dress codes. However, if they are going to enforce it against one group, they should be even-handed. Giving preference to one group over another isn't they way to go about it.
Here's a scenario: Anti-Bush t-shirts can be seen just about anywhere in this country. If President Bush took it into his head to sue the wearers and/or the manufacturers of such shirts because it was a "psychological attack that caused him to question his self-worth in our society," the suit would be tossed out faster than yesterday's newspaper. And I would agree: freedom of speech should not be trumped by hurt feelings. (In any case, the president has more to worry about than malicious malcontents wearing obnoxious t-shirts.)
That's not to say that a t-shirt saying "this (insert person/group) must die" or other such violent vitriol should be tolerated. It's one thing to criticize. It's another thing to threaten violence. This is where any civilized society should draw the line.
It's also not to say that people shouldn't think twice about what message they choose to broadcast to the general public. I don't think it's a good thing to go out of your way to offend someone else...but to demand such compliance is another matter entirely. Especially when, as an example, the student in question was offended by pro-gay issues being openly discussed at his school.
What about his being offended? What about his rightful place in society? What about his religious beliefs, which are what prompted him to wear the shirt? Are they not worth defending? No one seems to worry about the feelings of a Christian who believes homosexuality is a sin.
And therein lies the problem. By elevating the status of one special interest group over another, we are giving lie to the very foundations our country was built on. The First Amendment rights of a student who believes homosexuality to be sinful have been trampled in an effort to keep homosexual students from getting their feelings hurt.
No matter who you are or what you do, not everyone is going to like you and/or agree with your actions. This is a lesson that everyone needs to learn at an early age. By banning certain t-shirts at school, certain students are being told that their feelings are more important than someone else's rights.
A group called the National Center for Men has filed a lawsuit they are calling "Roe v. Wade for Men." Here are the facts: A 25-year-old computer programmer named Matt Dubay of Saginaw, Mich., was ordered by a judge to pay $500 per month in child support for a daughter he fathered with his ex-girlfriend. His contention -- and that of the National Center for Men -- is that this requirement is unconstitutional because it violates the equal protection clause.
Dubay does not dispute that he is the child's father. Rather, he claims that during the course of his relationship with the mother, he was given to understand that she could not become pregnant because of a physical condition. He insists that she knew he did not want to have children with her. The courts, he and his advocates argue, are forcing parenthood upon him in a way that they cannot do to a woman. Here's the money quote from the NCM website:
More than three decades ago Roe vs. Wade gave women control of their reproductive lives but nothing in the law changed for men. Women can now have sexual intimacy without sacrificing reproductive choice. Women now have the freedom and security to enjoy lovemaking without the fear of forced procreation. Women now have control of their lives after an unplanned conception. But men are routinely forced to give up control, forced to be financially responsible for choices only women are permitted to make, forced to relinquish reproductive choice as the price of intimacy.
Charen points out:
The point (and it is not one the feminists will find in their quiver) is that sexuality requires responsibility -- and that doesn't just mean using birth control. It means that if you engage in sex you have an automatic obligation to any child that may result. Pro-choice women have been vociferously rejecting this responsibility for decades. It should come as no surprise that men are inclined to do the same.
What is not being discussed here are men who have a relationship, have children, and then shirk their financial duties toward the kids (as in cases of divorce, abandonment, etc.). What is being discussed are men who unknowingly impregnate a woman (as in the case described above) and then are forced to support the child if the woman decides to have it.
Why is that fair? Don't they get to have reproductive choice too?
I am what's called an abortion moderate. I don't think it should be outlawed completely, but I believe in a first trimester limit (except in cases where the mother's life is endangered), and I also believe it should be a state legislative matter, not a national one. Oh, and birth control? More people should be utilizing it if they aren't planning on having children.
I also think that this whole "it only affects the woman thing" is a big bunch of marlarkey.
The problem here is the double standard. Men are expected to shut up both when the woman decides to abort and when she decides to keep a child. When does he get a say?
Sadly enough, the ones who are really affected are the children. If more people thought about them, perhaps we wouldn't be hearing so much about sexual and reproductive rights.
And the final word (in my mind) over the hoo ha regarding Dick Cheney's shooting accident goes to one of my favorites, Thomas Sowell:
The media are so full of themselves -- among other things that they are full of -- that they act as if the government exists to provide them with something to publicize. The time is long overdue to put these people in their place. Where is Margaret Tutwiler when we need her?
Democrats are having a field day with Dick Cheney's hunting accident. Hillary is among those who are asking why it took so long for the information to become public, and implying that a coverup was in the works.
You know Kennedy's sitting on the sidelines wishing he could weigh in on this matter but thinking, instead, he probably ought to just have another drink.

how is vince foster's suicide and mary jo kopechne in any way similar to a hunting accident?
by the way, why do you call new england a liberal wasteland? i live in new england and think it's beautiful. maybe you should enjoy the conservative heaven of indiana, or west virginia. just don't go in those mines...
And while I choose to live in New England, that doesn't mean I have to like the politcial views that seem to be so popular here. Most of my family is here, which is a very important part of my decision to live here. And yours seems to be the typical snobby view of the Midwest. I have lived there as well, and it's a very nice place. I have also lived in the West. So suffice it to say, I have a pretty good idea of what it's like in different areas of the country. Politics aren't the only reason to decide on a place to live. Pretty lame.
what coverup? the authorities in both cases ruled that they were instances of suicide and accidental death, respectively.
i'm just using the same arguments conservatives use, "if you don't like it here then move out." i personally wouldn't ever want to live in flyover country but that doesn't mean there is anything bad about those godforsaken areas.
Mary Jo Kopechne was ALIVE in the water for a full hour -- Kennedy had plenty of time to get her out. He decided to walk away, think about it for 19 hours, called his attorney and then the cops. No one will ever forget or forgive Kennedy for this (even though he paid the family off).
Vince Foster -- spectulation all around this mess. He was linked very closely with Hillary (romanace?? hate to think it would be that). Hillary and Billy KNOW they were responsible for his death - maybe not directly pulling the gun but having it set up. I believe the majority of the people think the Clintons had something to do with this -- but, again, somehow the Clintons always seem to bounce back up -- unfortunate.
Libs like steve comment without thinking. They are so used to the excuses the left gives Kennedy and Hillary that when confronted with the absolute true facts like Kennedy plea bargained a manslaughter conviction, they run away to spew their inaccuracies and Krap elsewhere.
Debra Saunders has a great column on Town Hall today regarding the senators' questioning of Samuel Alito during the SCOTUS hearings. In particular, she has some scathing criticism of Ted Kennedy:
I've never understood what senators were thinking in allowing Kennedy on the Judiciary Committee in the first place. While Kennedy seems to consider himself a champion for the little guy, he is a walking tribute to a system that, in its low moments, allows the rich and powerful to get away with crimes that would put others behind bars. He is a discredit to the system.
Read the whole thing. Kennedy lobs questions about Alito's past connections with "questionable" associations, while he himself was allowed to put a terrible incident behind him with a slap on the wrist -- all thanks to money and family connections. Yet bringing up Chappaquiddick is considered to be poor sportsmanship among Dems and other Kennedy supporters. Sorry, but belonging to a club that might have had discriminatory leanings and allowing a woman to die (because even being with her is a blot on a married man's reputation) are two completely different things.
If Kennedy wishes people would stop bringing up Chappaquiddick, perhaps he should stop trying to smear folks like Alito with past associations that probably didn't mean much at the time and mean even less now.
A judge on Monday ruled that prosecutors can subpoena Rush Limbaugh's doctors as part an investigation into whether the conservative talk show commentator illegally bought painkillers.
I just got nauseated. Both stories are sourced from AP (the Associated Press). It's good to know how unbiased our MSM is, isn't it? Poor Colin Farrell is suffering from exhaustion and is recovering from his "dependency" on painkillers after an injury, while Rush, a "conservative talk show commentator illegally bought painkillers." Of course, Rush also got addicted to the painkillers after having back surgery, and what the ruling really meant was that prosecutors couldn't question his doctors regarding his treatment.
Both stories factually true. Both stories the victim of spin. Who got the better end of the deal?
The MSM is traditionally in favor of Hollywood, out of control models, and Political Liberals getting the benefit of the doubt. Look at when Clooney, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Ted Kennedy, etc. get caught. The sympathy just flows.
On the other hand, if the MSM could physically crucify Rush Limbaugh and burn him while nailed on the cross, they would and any other tortures they could dream up.

One of my pet peeves is double standards. In his column on Town Hall today, John Leo tackles this topic as it relates to politics today. A sample:
Planned Parenthood adopted a more comic double stance on abortion: Young girls are fully capable of choosing to abort without informing their parents, but they could not enter a Planned Parenthood pro-abortion poster contest without parental approval. The fine print on the contest said, "Children under age 18 must have a parent or legal guardian's permission to submit designs." No, you wouldn't want young teens making drastic poster decisions without input from Mom or Dad.
Conservatives don't get away scot-free, as Leo has a few zingers for them too. But definitely read it...he makes many good points.
