Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Jesus, and Jesse Jackson.
Message to Jesse: self-praise is no praise. Also: the gig is up.
You'd better get out of town with as much cash as you can before the protestors, illegitimate children, and IRS enquiries get to you. I'd make for Canada if I were you. Not too far away, don't you know. Mind you, it is kind of cold, and the pickings will be kind of slim - there are no Canadian equivalents of GE or Freddie Mac to shakedown. But at least you'll be free among people who'll protect you if you come out with the occasional anti-Bush rant.

Hmmmm. Well, here in the US I regularly see "Christians" with bumper stickers showing a "Truth" fish eating a "Darwin" fish.
Of course, we don't have Christian "militants" going around shooting atheist tourists.
If I were a Copt, I'd have left Egypt long ago.
I may not be terribly brave, but you'd be surprised at how smart I am.

This is beyond sad.
So, here we have the Saudis laughing at us.
You know, the country that provided most of the 9/11 murderers.
You know, the country that gave us Osama bin Ladin.
You know, the country that funds Islamic terrorism worldwide.
They're laughing at us.
After 9/11, after Bali, after Istanbul, they're laughing at us.
They might be better served to work out how they're going to save their own backsides from the terrorists they've been nurturing within their own borders.
It may give them a bit of a laugh to poke a bit of cheap fun at us, but I didn't see much comedy when we saved their backsides from Saddam back in ' 90 and '91. Typical Arabs: at your feet when they're afraid, at your throat when they're not. No wonder Arabs hate dogs so much: you hate to be reminded of your own swings between cringing fear and rabidity.
Here's the deal: no matter what they say, and come what may, we are here to stay in Iraq. We're going to make Iraq stable and free. We're going to make it an shining example for the rest of the world, especially the Saudi kleptocracy.
We're going to show the Arab world that its problem is not the Jews, nor the Americans, nor MOSSAD, nor the CIA, but the Saudi princes and their brother kleptocrats across the Arab world.
When the Arab masses finally realize who their real enemy is, well, I hope that those cringing thieves have plenty of cash stashed abroad, and a plane standing by to take them to it.
Otherwise, well, I'll get some entertainment from seeing the crowds drag them through the streets while rubbing shoe-soles in their faces; I'll probably switch channels when the beheadings start.

God! What a great President!
Shows appreciation for the troops, and sucks ths oxygen out of the Presidential campaign of America's most prominent Stalinist.

Amnesty Internation can go perform an impossible act on itself.
The Miami PD did exactly the right thing. These leftist pricks did a number on Seattle, and Miami was determined not to see a repeat. Now that the Miami PD has broken a couple of hippy heads to prevent the destruction of private property, Amnesty is all over the police.
Where the hell were they when Seattle was being vandalized?
To hell with them.
It's one thing that sickens me about the left: they can dish it out, but they sure can't take it. Give them half a chance and they're rioting in the streets and putting bricks through windows. Arrest them, however, and the next thing you know you've got a stinking hippy with a stinking hippy lawyer in your face.
I say give them no quarter. For the G-8 meeting in Georgia, give the police rubber bullet guns like the ones the Brits use in Northern Ireland. Then bring on the hippies. The great thing about them is that since they're so dissolute from drug abuse, you barely have to lead them when you're aiming.
Aging hippies make the best targets.

Someday we'll all be Chinese.
Christ! Talk about ungrateful! The US bends itself free this cow from a Chinese jail, and she pays us back by selling military technology to the government that had imprisoned her, *and* she cheats on her income taxes.
Chinese people are hard to figure. Take Mao, that butcher. During the Great Leap Forward, he caused a famine that starved tens of millions to death. He had a sex live of which Clinton would have been jealous; plus, he gave the clap to about every woman he had sex with. Yet try to talk about this to any Chinese person. You won't get a peep.
It's a Confucian thing, I'm sure, but it's not terribly healthy, this respectful awe of leaders with demonstrated psychotic tendencies. Even as they live in a free country.
If they'll do these things in a green tree, what will they do in the dry?

Brits, and Europeans in general, can put up with Americans who seem ashamed to be American.
Bill Clinton: popular.
George Bush: Not!
Bill Clinton: popular.
George Bush: Not!
I think this nicely summarizes the protests during the President's visit to Great Britain.

God! Chirac is such a loser.
Not only is France in Free Fall, but French Prime Ministers are now claiming British victories.
Still, give him a couple of days and he'll be back on to hating Anglo-Saxons and French thugs will be back to defacing British and American war graves.

After 9/11, a lot of Americans were asking "Why do they hate us?" I think I've figured it out: it's Hollywood's fault.
There are two sides to American culture: popular, and high. Hollywood produces and exports American low culture.
Hollywood does not export American high culture. In fact, Hollywood would not know American high culture if it (high culture) grabbed it (Hollywood) by the scrotum and gave its testicles a good hard squeeze. Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!
Now, consider yourself a Mullah straight out of the middle ages, dealing with American low culture, as packaged and distributed by Hollywood.
American low culture presents you with Madonna frenching Britney; or "Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!"; or CSI; or The Sopranos; or Sex and the City; or MTV. Violence, self-involvement, perversion.
This from the land of increasingly overweight, illiterate, ignorant, know-nothings. Not that I mean that perjoratively, since all cultures are equally beautiful and valid.
Oh, did I forgot to mention: American's have this belief system called "Policial Correctness." According to this belief system, all cultures are equally beautiful and valid. Even the ones where they kill women to preserve family honor, collapse walls on gays to punish them for being gay, preserve slavery into the 21st century, and strap bombs to children after convincing them to kill themselves and a few Israelis.
So American low culture is just as beautiful and valid as your Holy Koran, so shut the fuck up and take it. Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!
Well of course you're going to do your nut, crash a few airliners into a few buildings and announce that the streets will run red with the blood of the infidel.
I mean, without these infidels and their combat fatigues, AK-47s, sound and video recording equipment, satellite networks, etc., all you'd be is a tall lanky Islamofascist nut in yak-wool underwear. Yet, these same people, with much of the same equipment, are building legions of apostates with nothing more than Britney, Madonna, some frenching, and Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!

Instead of a US circle around the USSR, we're about to have a circle around the core of
European Fascist-Socialism.

Howard Dean will be the Democrat candidate for President.
Well, maybe Jean Francois Kerry could be, if he could get himself retroactively killed in Vietnam.

Here's what you get for bowing and scraping to France and Germany, to try to get into the EU.
Question to the Turkish Parliament: Where are France and Germany now? Oh, and where are Israel and the USA?

The President is about to make a state visit to Great Britain, and the left is going psycho. They've been on the retreat since Grenada in 1983, and they hate it. They hate to see representative republics and capitalism in the ascendent.
Their violence is in proportion to the importance of what Blair and Bush are accomplishing.
The left wants to see capitalism and freedom brought low. The left wants defeat in Iraq. For the left to be happy American and Great Britain and their allies in Iraq have to be defeated. They're even raising money to support the remaining Baathists in Iraq. For shame!
"Boy" Assad and "Starvation" Mugabe were able to visit London with with no complaints from the left. If Bush were to pre-announce a surrender in Iraq, he'd be feted in the streets.
My belief is that neither Blair nor Bush will go wobbly. Islamofascism is going onto the trash heap of history.
The left? Well, think about this, from The Rape of the Lock:
With earnest Eyes, and round unthinking Face,
He first the Snuff-box open'd, then the Case,
And thus broke out--- "My Lord, why, what the Devil?
"Z---ds! damn the Lock! 'fore Gad, you must be civil!
"Plague on't! 'tis past a Jest---nay prithee, Pox!
"Give her the Hair---he spoke, and rapp'd his Box.
It grieves me much (reply'd the Peer again)
Who speaks so well shou'd ever speak in vain.

The one unfortunate aspect of this is that he'll be in jail for 25 years before he gets to die. He could actually die of old age, or of a stroke, or of a heart attack, instead of actually being executed.
Meanwhile 13 families get to live with this murderer's continued existence. Where's justice for them?
The upside to this, I guess, is that the Government now has a sample of his, and his accomplice's, DNA.

1984 Alert!
So, the Government gets to collect DNA from juveniles. Juveniles! Hello!?
What's next? Automatic analysis of the samples to determine individuals with "undesirable" (as legislated) traits, followed by confinement at Gitmo?
When President McKinley was assassinated, the murderer was caught, tried, and hanged within a month. Nowadays, a murderer can rape and murder 48+ women, and get away with life in prison.
Punishment is completely failing to match crime, so criminals do whatever the hell they want. Rather than punish adequately and make examples, *all* of us get to lose our rights. All of us get to lose our fifth amendment rights against self-incrimination, when we're juveniles.
How about this as a compromise: simply hang juveniles who commit capital crimes, give adult sentences for other criminal behavior, and leave the rest of us alone.
Of course, Government isn't going to do that. Government is all about increasing its own power. Government wants something on everyone, to keep us controllable. I know there's nothing new about this insight, it just makes me sad that this sort of stuff can go on and most Americans are only worried about seeing the Paris Hilton sex video.

I guess we can call of the hunt for Osama. Now, if only Saddam would strap himself to an al-Samud and take his celestial dirt nap.

The surest way to know that the USA PATRIOT Act is not a threat to our civil liberties is that this bastard is able to spew his venom.
Looking at this map of Georgia, you can see that everywhere there's a college, there's Democrat money to be found. Rome, Athens, Carrollton, Savannah, Atlanta, Statesboro, Carrollton, Valdosta, etc.
Everywhere else, it's neutral to Republican.
Not that there's any political bias in academia, or anything.

Message to Michael Kinsley: Do you remember 9/11?
Christ! How these liberal bigots sicken me.
This is a prime example of how liberals simply airbrush events out of existence. Nine months into Bush's Presidency, Islamofascism decides to have a go at the U.S. The World Trade Center is destroyed; the Pentagon is damaged; one other aircraft goes down over Pennsylvania, its intended destination the Capitol or the White House.
The President, in pursuit of U.S. self interest, is advancing freedom abroad. This is not a change of mind, nor a Comintern U-turn. It's simply acting on principles he's already stated.
It only looks like a U-turn when Comintern apparachiks like Michael Kinsley have airbrushed 9/11 out of history.

Sorry to be so late on this, but does anyone think that some rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of "Spiritus Mundi"
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
-- William Butler Yeats, "The Second Coming"
KSA fed the beast, as 6,000+ princes tried to bend the oil revenue in service of their cocks. Now the beast is grown beyond them. At the end of their lives they can look to leave nothing but a memory of their collective appetite.
They're Arabs; worse, they're KSA Arabs. What else can you expect of them?

I just had a random thought:
In the American Presidency, second term is last term.
Hmmmmmmm.
Does anyone think that the last term might be the term to really bring the hammer down?
- Arafat: target of a well-aimed MOAB
- Palestine as a country: see "Arafat"
- Boy Assad: Ditto
- The Iranian Mullahs: Ditto
- The Korean Guy with the bad haircut and nuke plants Clinton gave him: Ditto
Here's the deal: When Bush wins his second term, he has no motivation but to seek what he thinks is right. Does he have a track record? (Yes.) Does this indicate anything for the next four? (Oh, yes.)
Message to al Qaeda: You ain't seen nuthin' yet.
Another message to al Qaeda: After you've been disposed of, American kids *still* won't have a clue what you were all about.
Message to Araby in general: Straighten up and fly right, or you *will* lose your chance to appear in a "Star Trek" episode.

Welcome to the Wild Wild South.
Buckhead is kind of interesting. Go up Peachtree a bit and you pass God and Mammon. Go down Peachtree a bit and you run into gay, gentrified Ansley Park. Go west a bit and you're passing the Governor's Mansion.
Buckhead? A little bit of Sodom.
It used to be a place for wild drunken parties. The worst you had to worry about, really, was getting run down by a drunk driver as you meandered drunkenly across the street.
Nowadays you can sit outdoors at Brio on any Saturday or Sunday afternoon and watch the black Hell's Angels fartingly motor their gigantic Harleys up and down the street between Brio and The Roxy. Leather jackets and German coal-scuttle helmets (chromed pickelhaub in one extreme case) are de rigueur. Those white people deserve some exhaust fumes and noise with their pasta.
In the evening, the gagsta crowd arrives and the shootings commence. And let's face it: it's black-on-black violence, in a predominantly white neighborhood. So, in true American fashion, an issue of public order now has a race card added and everyone's being very careful about what they say and do. In the case of Shirley Franklin, it's say nothing and do less. Of course, when you're over your head in shit, it's probably better to keep your mouth shut.
OK, here's the deal: Buckhead has become popular with the thug element of black society. These lowlives come to Buckhead to strut and flounce, show off their obnoxiously loud cars and motorcycles, and occasionally kill each other. Increasingly, the only people in Buckhead after dark are these thugs, and the people who chose to live there because they thought they were moving to a fashionable part of town. Like Professional Widow Coretta Scott King.
Paul Howard, the incompetent DA, is no threat to these thugs. Having him prosecute you is really only a worry if you're a white skinhead caught in broad daylight beating up a black man while surrounded by fifty witnesses. If you're black, and especially if you're a black athlete, you've no real worries. He'll botch something and you'll be away after your next ho - when you've shot the brother with whom she was hanging.
Also, since the Buckhead population is mostly white, it's of no real interest to the Atlanta City Council or the Fulton County Commission. The attitude in both places is generally that those white bastards deserve a bit of payback for 400 years of oppression.
The situation in Buckhead will continue to worsen until a stray round goes past Professional Widow Coretta Scott King's head. Then, and only then, will there be any change.
Well, there may be another way to improve things: give one of Shirley Franklin's relatives a business in Buckhead and you'll never lack for cops on the beat.
Hey, it's working at the airport.

You know what: I'm glad this psycho bastard has been caught. When he's convicted, I'll be willing to pull the switch. And I hope it's the one on "Old Sparky", not that pussy lethal injection machine.
But...
Does anyone think it's weird and just a little fascist that the police "tracked Humphreys electronically by locating his cellphone." I mean, what's next? Tracking chips inserted at birth, so the Government can know where we are all the time?
I can hear the argument right now: that it was ok to be able to do this to catch a criminal. However, criminal is what the Government says it is. Fine, catch murderers today. But what's next? Automatic tracking of people who criticize Hillary so it'll be easier to round them up and ship them via packed cattle car to concentration camps in Nebraska?
The implanted chip thing is coming, believe me. First off, locator technology is getting small and cheap enough. Second, what self-respecting criminal is now going to carry a cell phone? In fact, I see a rash of phonejackings coming up. I mean, if you've just murdered someone, why scruple at another to get some comm. gear.
Hey, while we're at it, why not have chips to report the presence or absence of THC, ethanol, narcotics, caffeine, nicotine. Why force companies to do piss tests? Instead, just set the world up so they can use some sort of RFID scanner to get your vitals. (And...think of the advantages this would give your insurance company! In fact, while we're at it, let's have devices to report on any genetic predispositions you might have.) And...if you do get hired, they'll be able to tell when you're at your desk, or in the bathroom, or at lunch. And if your employer isn't tracking your keystrokes, the government will be able to install tracking software and monitor your activity for a few months without telling you.
And the beauty of all this tracking technology is that it can be totally optional:
- You don't have to accept the tracking chip, you just can't have a driver's license, or a job, if you don't accept it.
- You don't have to accept an "eNarc" (TM) chip, you just can't get insurance, or a job, without one.
You'll be completely free to be an eSerf, or starve.

Daschle's instructions to Rockefeller, and the Democrat part of the Senate Intelligence Committe in general:
"We have carefully reviewed our options under the rules and believe we have identified the best approach. Our plan is as follows:
1) Pull the majority along as far as we can on issues that may lead to major new disclosures regarding improper or questionable conduct by Administration officials. We are having some success in that regard. For example, in addition to the President's State of the Union speech, the Chairman has agreed to look at the activities of the Office of the Secretary of Defense (e.g. Rumsfeld, Feith and Wolfowitz) as well as Secretary Bolton's office at the State Department. The fact that the Chairman supports our investigations into these offices, and cosigns our requests for information, is helpful and potentially crucial. We don't know what we will find, but our prospects for getting the access we seek is far greater when we have the backing of the Majority. (Note: We can verbally mention some of the intriguing leads we are pursuing).
2) Assiduously prepare Democratic "additional views" to attach to any interim of final reports the committee may release. Committee rules provide this opportunity and we intend to take full advantage of it. In that regard, we have already compiled all the public statements on Iraq made by senior Administration officials. We will identify the most exaggerated claims and contrast them with the intelligence estimates that have since been declassified. Our additional views will also, among other things, castigate the majority for seeking to limit the scope of the inquiry. The Democrats will then be in a strong position to reopen the question of establishing an independent commission (i.e. the Corzine amendment).
3) Prepare to launch an Independent investigation when it becomes clear we have exhausted the opportunity to usefully collaborate with the Majority. We can pull the trigger on an independent investigation of the Administration's use of intelligence at any time -- but we can only do so once. The best time to do so will probably be next year either:
A) After we have already released our additional views on an interim report -- thereby providing as many as three opportunities to make our case to the public: (1) additional view on the interim report; (2) announcement of our independent investigation; and (3) additional views on the final investigation; or
B) Once we identify solid leads the Majority does not want to pursue. We would attract more coverage and have greater credibility in that context that on e in which we simply launch an independent investigation based on principled but vague notions regarding the "use" of intelligence.
In the meantime, even without a specifically authorized independent investigation, we continue to act independently when we encounter foot-dragging on the part of the Majority. For example, the FBI Niger investigation was done solely at the request of the Vice Chairman; we have independently submitted written questions to DoD; and we are preparing further independent requests for information.
Summary
Intelligence issues are clearly secondary to the public's concern regarding the insurgency in Iraq. Yet, we have an important role to play in revealing the misleading -- if not flagrantly dishonest methods and motives - of the senior Administration officials who made the case for a unilateral, preemptive war. The approach outline above seems to offer the best prospect for exposing the Administration's dubious motives and motives. "
If I have this right, the Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee have decided that no matter what's turned up by their "bipartisan" investigation of US intelligence, they intend to do everything they can to make the President look as bad as possible.
They intend to gull the Chairman as long as they can, lead him around by the nose as long as they can, and when they're done with him, stab him in the back.
This, during a time of war.
Zell Miller has it exactly right: "If what has happened here is not treason, it is its first cousin."
Democrats. Scum of the earth.

Barbra Streisand loses it.
First off, since she never read the script, and only spent four hours at the set, I'm amazed she has an opinion to express about this.
It's hard to tell where to start in this. Let's just go sentence by sentence.
Barbra says that in 1964 CBS gave her "complete artistic control in creating television specials..." OK, but CBS never promised to broadcast anything she made. I wonder if she kept that in mind as she was creating?
As for caving to "right wing Republican pressure," as far as I can tell, the pressure actually came from a groundswell of public opinion. Does Barbra really think Les Moonves is really going to knuckle under to "right wing Republican pressure?" No way. Never.
Mind you, I can think of one kind of pressure that would cause CBS to take such action: advertisers. Don't look to the RNC, Barbra, look to the people with a vested interest in not being boycotted for supporting the broadcast of a Democrat Big Lie.
Democrats never muscle the First Amendment? McCain-Feingold. Hello?!
The difference between the Kennedy "biopic" and the Reagan movie is that the Kennedy biopic had a relationship with reality. The Reagan movie contained few if any facts and an awful lot of invention. Can you see the difference?
This is not censorship. No law was involved in this, no government. CBS could have broadcast the movie to the public, it just decided it would prefer not to alienate its (steadily declining) audience.
As for that prior-restraint BS, there was no information to be broadcast, just a pack of lies.
When Rush calls Democrats on really bad lies, he says "Barbra Streisand!"
Well, Barbra Streisand!

Barbra Streisand has lost it.
Just look at the claims:
- She was on the set "for a total of 4 hours of one day." Fair enough, but what about her husband? They don't talk about work? Well maybe they do. Talk about *her* work.
- She "never even read the script." Well, no, of course not. She had one of her flunkies read it for her and give her a book report. Jesus, Barbra, we know you hate Republicans, we know you want Democrats to look good, we know you can only achieve that by sliming Republicans until they look worse than the lowlife Arkansas scum you've inflicted on us. We know you knew the contents of the script, else you wouldn't have let your trained eunuch loose on it. For God's sake, stop lying to us.
- Her husband "was not responsible for what is depicted in it." Right, he was just "following orders."
- On Reagan, Republicans "cannot stand that some of the more unpleasant truths about his character." As I understand it, the movie gives short shrift to everything he actually did, and plays up things everyone says he never did.
- Reagan "was slow in responding to AIDS as a public health crisis. Does anyone remember 1981? '82? '83? HIV wasn't even named. It was known that there was a virus that appeared to affect gay men and Haitians. That was pretty much it. Besides, reacting slowly to a crisis is not quite the same as wishing fire and brimstone on people. Unless, of course, it serves the purpose of sliming one of America's greatest presidents.
- "Reagan is glorified by conservatives because what other Republican leader of recent history are they going to point towards?" Well, not quite. He ended the Cold War. He got America out of its post-Jimmy funk. He got the hostages home. He started an economic boom we're still enjoying. He's glorified because he's worth glorifying.
She finishes with some codswallop about Clinton, her and Moonves being equally comfortable with their view of his back passage.
I hope that on November 16th and 18th that CBS will end its time as a channel for the Democrat Big Lie. I'm not holding my breath.

Now I remember why I resigned my commission.
