FRIDAY, January 9, 2004THINGS JUST HAVE TO GET BETTER TODAY Has this ever happened to you? I sit here this morning working on my program notes. I have a good little "Random Thoughts" section going and some great reading assignments. I notice that there are too many files loaded onto my computer and I start to delete a few ... and what do I do? I delete my program notes. Sooooo ... with time now running short here I am trying to recreate them and get to the studios. Yes ---- there was a dialogue box which asked me if I was sure I wanted to delete the file. I said yes. Looks like I need a second dialogue box which says "Are you sure, moron?" Oh well ... let's see what we can get done. RANDOM THOUGHTS They caught Jerry William Jones in North Georgia last night. He tried to kill himself but evidently wasn't as good at that as he is at strangling 10-month-old little girls. Good. Make him well. There are some bubbas in our Georgia prisons who can't wait to make this child-killer their personal girlfriend. He has such purrrty hair. There is only one Democratic candidate who is seeing his poll numbers go up right now. That would be Weasely Clark, the Clinton candidate. Looks like the grand Clinton plan is working to perfection right now. Things have to be kept clear for The Hildabeast to run in 2008. Elecia Battle now admits that she was lying when she said that she bought that winning lottery ticket in Ohio, and then lost it when she dropped her purse. Her attorney says that she made a mistake. COME ON, FOLKS. SHOW A LITTLE RESPONSIBILITY HERE Not a day goes by that we don't get several email messages from people forwarding that rumor about Target Stores. The story is that some Veteran's group asked a local Target store to sponsor a Vietnam Veteran's tribute in their area. The Target store reportedly responded with this message:
Relax, folks. It's not true! It's a fraud .. and internet hoax. It didn't happen. There are people working at these Target stores, and these people can lose their jobs if these irresponsible and untrue rumors get spread to the point that Target starts losing business. For the real story click here. And try to spend some time investigating these rumors before you spread them. OUR E-MAIL MESSAGE OF THE DAY I just thought I would share the thoughts of one Lou Miller [mlou181@netscape.com] with you today. This is his email to me: I didn't try to correct the syntax or spelling ... after all, If I don't do that for my own web page, why do it with his email?
You know .. if people ever figure out that I actually enjoy knowing how badly I'm getting on their nerves, they would stop sending me these wonderful messages. HOWARD DEAN'S PAST COMING BACK TO HAUNT HIM
If this isn't an example of how the Democratic party eats their own, I don't
know what is. Back when Howard Dean was Governor of Vermont, he used to
regularly appear on a PBS show called "The Editors." Turns out he
said some not-nice things about Al Gore. "He has a lot of attributes,
but...there are some things I am concerned about. One of them is being quick
on your feet. He is not." Apparently, he was fast enough on his feet to
endorse Dean and give the shaft to his former running mate, Joe Lieberman.
He also thought so highly of the Iowa caucases he is now competing in to say
that people "can't stand there and listen to everyone else's opinions for
eight hours about how to fix the world." Another dandy from the
same series of shows: "George Bush, I believe, is in his soul a
moderate." That should make good fodder for the first debate if he is the
nominee. He also lamented in February 1999, regarding Palestinian terrorist
Yasser Arafat, that "The next great tragedy is going to be Arafat's
passing, believe it or not." Oh joy..just the man we need in the oval
office.
If Howard Dean thought locking away his records while he was governor was
going to keep his past from haunting him, he's about to get his reality check.
The next 10 months are going to be so much fun, can you stand it?
IT'S ABOUT TIME
Ever since Gene Cernan was the last man on the moon in 1972, we have not had a
human being set foot on any planet besides Earth. That could be about to
change. President Bush is preparing to unveil a major policy initiative next
week aimed at returning humans to the moon and establishing a permanent
presence there around 2013. The lunar landing would set the stage for
missions to Mars, White House sources were quoted as saying.
Some of the things under consideration also include retiring the shuttle fleet
and phasing out the international space station. It's about time we stop
spending billions of dollars orbiting the earth studying the effects of
gravity on tree frogs and actually do some real space exploration.
Imagine that. Good idea to get rid of the International Space Station, while
we're at it. The thing sprung a leak this week anyway.
OH...ABOUT THE GUN THING...YES, NO..MAYBE....
You may have read that Dr. Dean was a big supporter of gun rights while he was
Governor. Not if you ask the people actually involved. On a questionnaire a
gun rights group sent him in July of 1988, Dean wrote at the bottom: "I,
as always, reserve the right to change my position if compelling evidence
warrants it." Oh..how nice.
A former Vermont sheriff says "He speaks out of both sides of his mouth
on this stuff." Where have we heard that before? In recent months, Dean
has indicated he favors renewing the assault weapons ban and background checks
for those who shop at gun shows. Again, the position depends on the time of
day, the audience, maybe the direction of the wind...who knows.
DEAN CAMPAIGN ACCUSED OF FRAUD ALREADY
Richard Gephardt's campaign manager Steve Murphy has accused the Dean campaign
yesterday of planning to sneak non-Iowans into the January 19th Iowa caucuses
to pose as state residents and vote for Dean. I guess the Democrats have to
practice for the November election somehow.
"It has come to our attention that your campaign in Iowa is engaged in an
effort to violate caucus rules and send out-of-state supporters to pose as
Iowa residents and caucus in cities and towns across the state," Murphy
wrote in a letter to the Dean campaign. Joe Trippi, Dean campaign
manager, calls the charge "ridiculous." So much for being
"the party of inclusion."
READING ASSIGNMENTS
The Wall Street Journal says that Bush's
new immigration plan might actually be good for our country's security and
economy. OK ... I'm willing to learn, but I still suspect what we
saw was pure Hispandering. David
Limbaugh seems to agree with me. Charles Krauthammer is next to the plate to take a few swings at Howard Dean's absurd "we're no safer" statement. Uh oh. It's Ann Coulter again. Fasten your seat belts and have a good read. The Democrats are loading their weapons for a major assault on George Bush over the deficit issue. Here's Bruce Bartley's take. What a great picture, apparently taken by a special forces soldier documenting the capture of Saddam with a camera. Can you imagine the smell? This
serial killer is in serious condition after murdering four people and
leading police on a chase, then attempting suicide. Too bad he didn't finish
himself off.
General Weasly Clark, speaking on abortion, says "life
begins with the mother's decision." He didn't say how long the mother
had to decide. No ... we're not going to discuss abortion on the
air. I just wanted you to read this so you'll know what is causing
the zealots to jump on Clark.
Ever wonder if your water bill is right? Imagine being this
guy.
Mexican President Vicente Fox called
President Bush's plan to liberalize US immigration law "a good
start," but said "we're going for more." Of course...that was
the goal all along. To legalize all illegal immigrants in the United States
and make a mockery of our laws. Thanks for nothing, El Presidente.
This
nonsense is back: slave reparations. Bob Brown, a former Black Panther,
filed a lawsuit claiming 71 defendants owe reparations for slavery. This
should be fun...will the loony left be able to create a class of victims out
of people who no longer exist?
A
great column about the many people that live in Pete Roseland.
John Fund writes
about what it's like to visit North Korea. Hint: go somewhere else.
The
truth is where you find it: Thomas Sowell writes about verbal posturing.
Brent Bozell has issued a
$1 million challenge to Tom Brokaw and NBC to prove their liberal bias.
Will
tourists keep visiting the US? Of course they will...it's the best damn
country on Earth. |
