Glad the Democrats have their priorities straight.

I love when the Drudge Report comes up with fun things like this story.Here is the story basically:"Culture Shock on Capitol Hill: House to Work 5 Days a Week" front-paged the WASHINGTON POST in December.Majority leader Steny Hoyer said members of the House will be expected in the Capitol for votes each week by 6:30 p.m. Monday and will finish their business about 2 p.m. Friday.Explained the POST: "Forget the minimum wage. Or outsourcing jobs overseas. The labor issue most on the minds of members of Congress yesterday was their own: They will have to work five days a week starting in January." But on the morning after the night before, on the first full week of the new congress, Hoyer has pulled back from his vow! A Hoyer press release obtained by the DRUDGE REPORT boldly declares: "Monday, January 8, 2007: The House is not in session." Hill sources claim The House is taking Monday 'off' this week, because of the championship football game between Ohio State and the University of

Stupid Valerie Plame Book Deal Story.

Just found this story through Fark.com which I think is great.First here is Fark's headline for the story:Valerie
Plame
, who was "outed" by the evil Bush whitehouse and damaged our national security, wants to cash in on her persecution, with a new book. The CIA; not so fast, secret agent girl.The story is about Valerie Plame, former CIA employee who was apparently "outed" by someone in the Bush Administration, though she really was doing nothing too exciting, I'm sure this will be shown once the book comes out. Anyway, she was writing a book, but the CIA's panel to decide whether what she put in is allowed to be published has shot the book down pretty much, well boo friggin' hoo.I really only put this story on here because this is another example of a big problem I have with this country, and it's when people have hardship, or they fuck up, or someone screws them, or just anything bad happens to someone they always seem to try and cash in with the book deal. I mean granted, they o

Muslim Preachers Urging Hate in the U.K.
1970-01-01 00:59:59
I found this day old article over at the UKs Observer site. I'm sure this comes as no surprise that a muslim preacher would be spreading hatred. I'm sure the article will piss you off as much as it did me. (I'm loading a gun as we speak). Anyway, I"ll post most of the article here and provide a link at the bottom after my comments.Muslim
worshippers are being urged by radical clerics to ignore British law An undercover investigation has revealed disturbing evidence of Islamic extremism at a number of Britain's leading mosques and Muslim institutions, including an organisation praised by the Prime Minister.Secret video footage reveals Muslim preachers exhorting followers to prepare for jihad, to hit girls for not wearing the hijab, and to create a 'state within a state'. Many of the preachers are linked to the Wahhabi strain of Islam practised in Saudi Arabia, which funds a number of Britain's leading Islamic institutions.Revealed: preachers' messages of hate, Muslim worshippers

."Just before Monday's verdict, the 32-year-old defendant spoke with an American whose mother died on board one of the planes that crashed into the World Trade Center.Dominic Puopolo Jr., a co-plaintiff in the case, earlier joined prosecutors in calling for the maximum penalty, urging the judges to consider the "human and emotional cost" of the 2001 attacks.When the court granted El Motassadeq a final chance to speak, the slightly built, bearded man turned to Puopolo to say, "I understand your suffering. ...

Okay, so this isn't a super serious story but it is another symptom of what is wrong with the way we are handling illegal aliens. Here's a bit of the story with comments to follow:Toys 'R' Us Reverses Decision on Baby ContestNEW YORK (Jan. 6) - After coming under fire for denying a Chinese-American infant a $25,000 prize in a New Year's baby contest because her mother was not a legal U.S. resident, the Toys "R" Us company said Saturday evening that it had reversed its decision.We love all babies," the company said in a written statement Saturday. "Our sweepstakes was intended to welcome the first baby of 2007 and prepare for its future. We deeply regret that this sweepstakes became a point of controversy."The prize was originally supposed to go to Yuki Lin, who was born at the stroke of midnight at New York Downtown Hospital, according to hospital officials.Yuki was born an American citizen.

Check out this story, which is odd in itself but then see what else I found within it.Surgery to Stunt Girl's Growth Sparks DebateBy LINDSEY TANNER, APCHICAGO (Jan. 4) - In a case fraught with ethical questions, the parents of a severely mentally and physically disabled child have stunted her growth to keep their little "pillow angel" a manageable and more portable size.Okay, I was ready to trash these people but it's hard to judge such a unique situation when you're not in it. The idea still seems silly and wrong to me but that's not my problem with this story. Here's a quote from a doctor:Dr. Douglas Diekema, an ethicist at the medical center where Ashley was treated, said he believed her parents were motivated by love and the girl's best interests.Scrreeeeeech....HALT.

Appendix to Anti-Bush Site Post
1970-01-01 00:59:59
Well I commented on FFFAC's post about how these sites go so farrrr out of the stance of logic in order to make Bush look like some kind of devil man or something by using pictures. And the part that bugs me the most is that it seems as though the pictures are the basis of the argument really. Take Bush in a certain picture, and find a picture of someone horrible, say Hitler, or bin laden and put them together, thus instant legitimization of a crazy argument. So I thought that I would take the point to the extreme just to show that it might be a little crazy, so here we go:There and going from these pictures and the logic found on those far-crazyleft sites like moveon.org and others, you can easily say that Pelosi is as bad or worse as Kim Jong Il, as is Hillary Clinton. You can also say that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are easily equal to Hitler and bunker buddy Col. Gen. Ferdinand Schoerner, respectively. And the final picture, though honestly, I shouldn't even have to put with a c
More nukes for Kim Jong Il?
1970-01-01 00:59:59
Found this on ABC News, courtesy of the Drudge Report:"— North Korea appears to have made preparations for another nuclear test, according to U.S. defense officials. "We think they've put everything in place to conduct a test without any notice or warning," a senior U.S. defense official told ABC News. The official cautions that the intelligence is inconclusive as to whether North Korea will actually go ahead with another test but said the preparations are similar to the steps taken by Pyongyang before it shocked the world by conducting its first nuclear test last Oct. 9. Two other senior defense officials confirmed that recent intelligence suggested that the North Koreans appear to be ready to test a nuclear weapon again, but the intelligence community divides over whether another test is likely."*sigh* How long must we deal with this. Noone is sure whether it is going to happen, there are mixed feelings across the intelligence people of the world. Obviously North Korea is

New Air Strikes Reported As Forces Target 1998 Embassy Bombing SuspectsA U.S. air strike hit targets in southern Somalia where Islamic militants were believed to be sheltering suspects in the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies, Somali officials and witnesses said Tuesday. Many people were reported killed.Monday's attack was the first overt military action by the U.S. in Somalia since the 1990s and the legacy of a botched intervention — known as "Black Hawk Down" — that left 18 U.S. servicemen dead.Helicopter gunships launched new attacks Tuesday near the scene of the U.S. air strike, although it was not clear if they were American or Ethiopian aircraft, and it was not known if there were any casualties....U.S. warships have been seeking to capture al Qaed

Walters
and co-host Rosie O'Donnell, sparked by O'Donnell's feud with Donald Trump, boiled over yesterday morning when the portly comic called Walters "a [bleeping] liar." The fight started around 8:30 a.m. when Walters, back from a two-week vacation, walked into the hair and makeup room at ABC studios and tried to hug O'Donnell, whom she hired onto the popular show. According to spies, O'Donnell recoiled from Walters' touch and yelled, "You kept me in the newspapers this whole time!" Both "View" producer Bill Geddie and Walters tried to calm O'Donnell. Walters told her, "I did everything I could to squash the story" - prompting Rosie to scream, "You didn't call me for 10 goddamn days, and you

Found this story through the Drudge Report.Headline:Give us Guns - and troops can go says, Iraqi leader....Nouri al-Maliki
said the insurgency had been bloodier and prolonged because Washington had refused to part with equipment. If it released the necessary arms, US forces could "dramatically" cut their numbers in three to six months, he told The Times....When asked about the Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi's attack on Iraq's capital punishment laws, Mr al-Maliki cited the Italians' summary killing of Benito Mussolini and his stringing-up from a lamppost. Asked how long Iraq would require US troops, Mr al-Maliki said: "If we succeed in implementing the agreement between us to speed up the equipping and providing weapons to our military forces, I think that within three to six months our need for American troops will dramatically go down. That is on condition that there are real, strong efforts to support our military forces and equipping and arming them" ...Mr al-Ma

To paraphrase the Foo Fighters: It's times like these you have to bang your head.I found this video posted from YouTube over at Hotair.com and I took a look because these things make me curious and you must always keep your eye on what the enemy is up to. Its this sort of nonsense that makes me a little insane whenever I see these rabid anti-Bush sites. They make these stupid videos and posters and all sorts of other nonsense, completely throwing logic and sense to the wind, as long as they can make some sort of point that the President is bad.So the content blames Bush if not overtly, then they certainly allude to it being his fault for hmmm....let's see, apparently the kidnapping of drunken Natalee Holloway, Hurricane Katrina, 9/11, they once again bring up vote stealing, talk about Cheney's daughter being a lesbian, talks about how black people are the only people in the army, well, maybe poor people, but....I'm not sure, and it of course says that we need Barack Hussein Obama t

I'm basically about to steal almost a direct post from my buddy the Good Lieutenant over at Mein Blogovault, but I'll trackback him so I don't care how mad he gets.Anyway, something I didn't know was the DrudgeReport was originally the site that brought forth the Lewinsky scandal after Newsweek was apparently going to kill the story. You could probably credit him with firing the first Blogosphere shot across the mainstream media's bow. While I admit it might be something of an insult to him to call his site a blog, Matt Drudge was one of the first to show everyone exactly how powerful any jerk on the internet can be.So check out this tribute to Matt Drudge on Pajamas Media, read the original dispatches from the Drudge Report, and just for the hell of it check out Mein Blogovault where I found this story, great blog over there, a lot of interesting, right-wingy-type things except for his occasional posts about the band Phish, which I have yet to understand.Good day!(h/t The Good L

Here is the letter in it's entirety:Debate in recent days has focused on the possibility of "surging" U.S. combat forces in Iraq. Security is the precondition for political progress and economic development, and we need more troops on the ground. But to make a real difference, any surge must be substantial and sustained. During my recent trip to Iraq, commanders spoke of adding as many as five additional brigades in Baghdad, and one or two additional brigades in Anbar Province. This, I believe, is the minimum we should conside

Then came a comic book illustrating the harrowing journey. Now, Mexico's next effort to reduce the growing death toll of illegal immigration could go high-tech.You have to love the way the Mexican government continues to try and help its citizens LEAVE their country rather than fix what is driving them out in the first place....a proposed project would offer would-be border crossers satellite-tracking devices to use if stranded or injured. The signal could be picked up by U.S. border agents and Mexican Consular officials to coordinate a rescue.I would love if this happened and everytime it went off, once the Mexican Consular got word to the border agents they were allowed to just say "fuck off."

There are some times when I see a blog post or an article such as this one on the internet, that a few options come to mind, one is to grab my gun and destroy the people responsible, the other is to just stop up my nose and ears so that the pressure in my head will cause it to explode, and the third is the one I usually settle on which is to rant and rave on my blog.Here's the cause of today's calamity, a story from the Washington Times I found on Theodore's World seeing as it is short I will print most of the article here for your enjoyment:Veteran

"I think they're real happy I'm not going to join," said Cohen, who succeeded Rep. Harold Ford, D-Tenn., in a majority-black Memphis district. "It's their caucus and they do things their way. You don't force your way in. You need to be invited." Cohen said he became convinced that joining the caucus would be "a social faux pas" after seeing news reports that former Rep. William Lacy Clay Sr., D-Mo., a co-founder of the caucus, had circulated a memo telling members it was "critical" that the group remain "exclusively African- American."

King Jr. Day party that mocked black stereotypes by featuring fried chicken, malt liquor and faux gang apparel. "I feel like there is no excuse for this type of ignorance," said Donald Ray Elder, president of the Stephenville school's chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Photographs posted on social networking Web site Facebook.com showed partygoers wearing Afro wigs and fake gold and silver teeth.

But I saw this story on Reviewjournal.com and it pleased me most definitely, anyway here's the story:A Van Halen reunion tour, with David Lee Roth back in the fold after 22 years, is in the works, with a Las Vegas launch looking good. A late April date at the Palms' new venue, The Pearl, is "99 percent" likely, a source said. It would be the latest coup for Palms owner George Maloof, who will open the 2,500-seat venue with a lineup that includes Tool, Evanescence, Gwen Stefani and possibly Van Halen, all in the first month. A 40-date tour is being discussed. Roth fronted the band from 1974 to 1985 before going solo. He was close to rejoining about 11 years ago, but a blowup caused another rift. Van Halen's last tour, in 2004, grossed about $40 million, with Sammy Hagar as the lead. Anyway click below to watch the video f
