An excellent analysis of why trying Khalid Shiekh Mohammud in New York is a colossal mistake. The legal jargon is a little dense, sorry.The writer is an attorney who lays out how the trial will inevitably play out. I think he’s exactly right. We’ve seen this already in the trial of Zacharias Moussoui (however it’s spelled), the alleged 20th hijacker. In short it will be a massive media circus, Read More →

In Praise of the Great Leader!
The lyrics are here (there were two songs) if you have the stomach for it. Now, I know the President didn’t have anything to do with this, but when I saw this, it literally sent a chill down my spine. This is how you build up a cult of personality. We do NOT do this kind of thing in America!As an adult, fine, sing whatever you want, you have the freedom to do so. But to teach children this kind Read More →

Hate Mongers and the Apologetic Village Idiot
Just got back from having a nail pulled from my tire, and listened to AM 570 on the way. The Schnitt Show. Never heard the guy before. They were talking about Obama’s speech to the U.N. today. I am disgusted, yet again with BHO’s personal apology tour. This part of the conversation threw me for a loop: A couple of callers who were Jewish rang in. The discussion covered everything from the speech to the nuclear capabilities of Iran. Then they started to talk about “3 1/2 years” and how that coincides as an important countdown on three major religious calendars. This is what got me: Muslims WANT a major war with Israel so that their Messiah will come? Christians want the war to start too? And Muslims hope that the 1/3 of the people who will be destroyed will be mostly Jews and Christians? Are you people out of your mind?? Do you realized that 1/3 of the population of this planet is over 2 billion people? That is over 1,000 times more destruction than what... Read the rest of this entry »
National Healthcare: Another Pipe Dream That Will Break the Bank
Gentle Reader, As I unwound my buck for the umpteenth time, I told him he should be required to get a license to be this stupid! That’s when it dawned on me that our Representatives and Senators need to be given precisely the same message. They should have to buy a license permitting them to be this stupid! That way we voters could rescind their license when they act like arrogant idiots–as they will–automatically kicking them out of Congress! Udall says they will be able to pass national healthcare without votes from the other side of the aisle. Even though they are being vociferously upbraided by those very voters who put them into office, he and many other Reps are determined to defy constituents’ wishes. At present 57% of Americans think all Reps and Senators should be voted out of office, but politicians aren’t worried. Why? Because they think we won’t act on our convictions. So, I have a plan: Let’s send everyone of them a letter informing them that, due to their regularly... Read the rest of this entry »

Sensible Healthcare Reform
I’ve resisted posting on healthcare reform here for 2 reasons:1. No one wants to read a 10,000 word rant complete with charts and analogies.2. I can’t find the time to write said 10,000 word rant.So, I leave it to others with greater powers of brevity. Charles Krauthammer has two suggestions that should be tried before any radical restructuring of the current healthcare system. They will Read More →

Is He or Isn’t He?
Greetings, Gentle Reader, In all my years I have never heard of a candidate for President of the United States failing to produce a legitimate birth certificate. Why would anyone do such as astonishing thing? Supreme Court Justice Souter has given Barack Obama until December 1st to produce an authentic birth certificate, so he legally can be sworn in as President. It is impossible for me to say whether the birth certificate he has shown online has, indeed, been visibly altered, as it has been reported. I’ve never seen it, and I am surely no expert, but if he has no problem producing a legitimate birth certificate, why has it not yet happened? It makes no sense to me that his paternal grandmother would have produced a tape in which she stated that, not only was he born in Kenya, but that she was in the delivery room when it happened, unless it is true. When Obama went to school in Indonesia, where only Indonesian citizens could attend, he was registered as Barry Soetoro, Indonesian citizen. Many... Read the rest of this entry »
