Giuliani: Personal life doesn’t affect career 2007-04-05 19:10:00 Ok... I have been accused already of attacked Giuliani
by my fellow republicans. I am not ANTI-Giuliani... However, I am asking questions and so should you as well! I really am not happy with the current field of possible republican nominees, and I will continue to be vocal about it. And to those of you have decided to email me and complain about my negative Giuliani coverage... Get a damn life, this is my take on the former mayor, who seems way too liberal to be in the republican party. And this is coming from me; "a moderate war-hawk".Giuliani: Personal

BLOG OF THE WEEK: MEDIA LIES 2007-04-04 17:19:00 The problem is and always has been cowardice and avarice. Our politicians are much more interested in self-aggrandizement and self-enrichment than they are in what's good for the country.So, while everyone was in a agreement before the war began, the Democrats saw a political opening when Joe Wilson pandered his lies to the media and they dove in, without any regard to the damage it would do to us or to the world. And some Republicans, cowering in fear at the onslaught of lies from the Democrats and the media, caved in and began attacking the President. Again, with no regard to the lasting damage it could do to this country and to the world...........Where would Iraq be indeed? And how many Iraqis would be alive today if America had been united and focused on the mission?Those days are long gone, however. The best we can hope for is that America can survive the present divisiveness and somehow turn the mess we have now into a victory. The alternative is far too discouraging to even co

Re-Post: "How Can You Support This Iraq War?" 2007-04-03 21:36:00 America, Do We Get Squeemish over War?Wednesday, November 15, 2006Have we become like many of the nations in western europe? We overwhelmingly support going into combat to fight terrorists and evil dictators like Saddam.. but just a few years later we are sick of it to the point we are willing to forget why we fight.Many I find on news shows on the television poke fun at the struggle in Iraq
and even go as far as to say that our men and women are dying for no reason. The planes struck the twin towers and the pentagon on that Tuesday morning and American flags went up everywhere, on every vehicle beside every home America came together. But day after day following the attacks on our homeland we became more tired of this global war to combat terror. Flags began disappearing off vehicles and houses, democrats began questioning the Bush administration and went as far to make over the wall accusations of conspiracy and deliberate distortion of facts pertaining to the reasons why we went in Read more:Support
Life Is Not So Grand For This Red Sox Fan 2007-04-03 20:49:00 OK, I am a little angry!The Boston Red Sox blew their opener against the Kansas City Royals, even with their ace Curt Schilling on the mound. I'm still going to remain calm and hold out for something good to happen... Maybe I'll have to wait a month or two.. or maybe all year but hell, it's just life as a Boston Red Sox fan. SIDE NOTE:Curt Schilling should run for the U.S. Senate in MA. His career as a pitcher certainly isn't lasting as long as he expected it to.Tags: boston red sox, red sox royals, curt schilling, baseball

A Little Intel On Microsoft's New OS Windows Vista 2007-04-02 11:41:00 Collected from my friends at http://www.extremetech.comThere's a lot of confusion about WindowsVista
these days. Many online discussion forums have a great number of users who express no desire to upgrade to Vista. Sure, we've all seen the screenshots and maybe a video or two of Vista in action, but for many it only seems like new tricks for an old dog. Yeah, it's got some fancy 3D effects in the interface, but OS X has been doing that for years now, and it's still Windows underneath, right? The sentiment seems to be that Vista is another Windows ME—an avoidable upgrade that isn't really going to breathe new life into your computer.Perhaps part of the problem is that people just don't know what Vista has in store for them. Microsoft
has gone big on the very high-level marketing with slogans like "Bringing Clarity to Your World" and has delivered detailed nitty-gritty explanations of the underpinnings to the enthusiast press, but it has done so in a slipshod fashion. We're her Read more:Intel

Rudy Giuliani to Tony Blair: Stand Up to Iran ????? what up with that? 2007-04-02 10:31:00 NEWSMAX.COM Friday, March 30, 2007 7:34 a.m. EDTRepublican presidential contender Rudy Giuliani
says British Prime Minister Tony Blair
shouldn't back down on his refusal to negotiate the release of 15 British sailors and marines detained in Iran."I urge Tony Blair
to stand up to them," Giuliani said after shaking hands and dining at a barbecue restaurant Thursday evening in downtown Oklahoma City.Ok, Mr Giuliani has no experience on the federal level and is underestimating how sensative this situation is. There are 15-16 members of the British Armed Forces basically held hostige under false justification. Now... Correct me if I am wrong, but the good man and former mayor Giuliani should only step where there is ground for him to stand on. And in this situation, a political maneuver is not warranted nor required by a former mayor from our nation's largest city; especially since there is a delicate diplomatic process the British are trying to put forward to ensure the safety and s Read more:Rudy Giuliani

U.S. TO STRIKE IRAN ON GOOD FRIDAY? 2007-04-02 09:16:00 By JERUSALEM POST STAFF AND APThe United States will be ready to launch a missile attack on Iran's nuclear facilities as soon as early this month, perhaps "from 4 a.m. until 4 p.m. on April 6," according to reports in the Russian media on Saturday.According to Russian intelligence sources, the reports said, the US has devised a plan to attack several targets in Iran, and an assault could be carried out by launching missiles from fighter jets and warships stationed in the Persian Gulf.Russian news agency RIA Novosti quoted a security official as saying, "Russian intelligence has information that the US Armed Forces stationed in the Persian Gulf have nearly completed preparations for a missile strike against Iranian territory."

IRAN: test test... this is just a test y'all 2007-04-02 08:43:00 Iranian state television aired new video Sunday showing two of the 15 captured British sailors pointing to a spot on a map of the Persian Gulf where they were seized and acknowledging it was in Iranian territorial waters. This was just starting to play out as boring to me as reality television. It's something Iran feels they need to do; not to prove a point, but yet to test our will.I am convinced of this for a few reasons. A. Iran's support inside the country for it's rulers is depleting fast (this proves as a way to nationalize the issues and try to claim easy political capital over blaming the west for their domestic turmoil)B. Iran's leaders are well aware of the impending attack on their soil if they were to harm the British sailors held captiveC. And this I believe is perhaps the biggest reason for all of this, but again this is just my take on it.. Iran, among many other of our potential adversaries have watched as our President's support crumbles from within his ow

Gen. Abizaid Warns Against Timetables for Iraq 2006-11-16 05:46:00 Wednesday, Nov. 15, 2006 12:26 a.m. ESTGen. Abizaid Warns Against Timetables for Iraq
The top U.S. commander in the Middle East warned Congress Wednesday against setting a timetable for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq, saying it would impede commanders in managing U.S. and Iraqi forces.The assertion by Gen. John Abizaid seemed to put him at odds with some Democrats pressing the Bush administration to begin pulling out of Iraq.Abizaid spoke as the Senate Armed Services Committee began re-examining U.S. policy in the wake of last week's Democratic election victory, which gave them control of Congress starting next year.In arguing against a timetable for troop withdrawals, Abizaid told the committee that he and other U.S. commanders need flexibility in managing U.S. forces and determining how and when to pass on responsibility to Iraqi forces."Specific timetables limit that flexibility," the general said.Tags: Gen.

This is My Pick for '08 2006-11-16 05:40:00 Presidental Election 2008 Thoughts... Current mood: calm If Condoleeza Rice does not step in and vie for the republican nomination, my vote will go to Gov. Mitt Romney (R) -MA.In all realism the only two people that I can see winning the presidency from the republican side would be Condi or John McCain. Because the republican's support from moderates and democrats has been waning with the obvious push for the religious conservative turnout in '04, republicans now have to put up someone who can bring out enough of the people on the right but still be moderate enough to unite the party and attract independant and democratic voters. No one will do this better than Senator John McCain of Arizona. He's socially and foreign policy-wise conservative, yet seems to exhibit alot of restraint to take the same edge on alot of domestic issues that might lessen the little guy's chance in this country. He's appealing to men & women alike for his service for the country, however I question h
Missile-Defense System Test Succeeds 2007-04-08 08:44:00 By AUDREY McAVOYSource Article HereHONOLULU (AP) - The military shot down a Scud-type missile in this year's second successful test of a new technology meant to knock down ballistic missiles in their final minute of flight, the MissileDefense
Agency said Friday.A ship off Kauai fired a target missile before 9 p.m. Hawaii Standard Time Thursday. Three minutes later, soldiers with the U.S. Army's 6th Air Defense Artillery Brigade launched an interceptor missile from Kauai that destroyed the target over the Pacific, according to the agency.The military says it already can shoot down missiles in their last stage of flight by using Patriot anti-missile batteries. But the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system would be able to protect larger areas than the Patriot system because it intercepts targets at a higher altitude, said agency spokeswoman Pam Rogers.The new system had its first successful test last year at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. It had another successful test Read more:System
GOP Message To Speaker Pelosi... GET BACK TO WORK! 2007-04-09 23:46:00 Source: Drudge ReportGOP SLAMS PELOSI: GET BACK TO WORKMon Apr 09 2007 10:28:28 ETToday, GOP Leaders from both chambers urged SpeakerPelosi
to call the House back into session immediately to finish its work on the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations bill for the troops. Speaker Pelosi neglected to appoint House conferees before the two-week break, further delaying negotiations on a final bill. The joint letter to Pelosi is attached. Text follows:Dear Speaker Pelosi:We are writing to urge you to call the House back into session immediately so that Congress can finish its work on the emergency legislation to fund the Global War on Terrorism. This funding request has been pending since February 5, but your leadership team chose to leave town for more than two weeks rather than completing this bill. As a result, our troops have been put at risk.We are especially troubled by the House's failure to appoint conferees.

A PARTY DIVIDED: Democratic Leadership Is Unwinding 2007-04-10 23:06:00 THE DEMOCRATIC TAILSPIN IS UNFOLDING The Associated Press: "Reid Says He'll Try To Cut Off War Funds" (4/2/07) The Associated Press: "Levin: Senate Will Keep Paying For War" (4/8/07) Simply unbelievable.... yet so very typical of the leftists in congress. They are starting to crack inside their own political maneuvering. "We're not going to vote to cut funding, period," Levin said. "But what we should do, and we're going to do, is continue to press this president to put some pressure on the Iraqi leaders to reach a political settlement." But the this democratic senator seems to be trumpeting for his party's leadership who has gone on record stating the opposite: "We're not going to back up one second on this, on this veto threat," said Reid, pointing out that a report last week by the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service concluded that the military does not need the new funding until July. But again Sen. Reid, you have promised Read more:Democratic

Man, they got tattoos and –McGUIRK: Some hard-core hos.IMUS: That’s some nappy-headed hos there. I’m gonna tell you that now, man, that’s some — woo.

The more I look at Rutgers, they look exactly like the Toronto Raptors.Well I agree with Al Sharpton and his cronies on one issue. This comment was horrible and should never have been said and deserves the sincerest apology. However I disagree with him and his fellow radicalists when it comes to the whole "boot him off the air" crap. We live in a free society, we must allow the market to dictate whether or not Imus stays on the air. It is NOT our call. Why doesn't Rev. Sharpton a Read more:Bigot
