NEAL AT YELLOWSTONE

Neal has his skinny dipping plans interrupted by an Elks convention in Yellowstone National Park.

HILDABEAST SNUBBING THE POODLE?

This is juicy. Remember when Hillary Clinton was running around saying that she was not interested in running for president this year, was not interested in being John Kerry's running mate and was going to do everything she could to get him elected? Anybody with half a brain knew she was full of it...after all, a Kerry victory is bad news for her presidential aspirations. She wants to be president, and Kerry stands in the way.

So now comes the word that the Hildabeast will not speak at the Democratic National Convention in Boston at the end of this month. That's right...the most popular national Democrat is not going to be speaking at her parties' convention this year. The Poodle's campaign is spinning this by saying Mrs. Clinton simply did not ask for speaking time. While that may be technically true, there is much, much more to this than meets the eye.

Hillary will probably make a statement soon saying something allegedly gracious about how she didn't want to steal the Souffle's thunder, and this is his convention and his time and the sun...blah blah blah. What is really going on is one of two things. First, Kerry intentionally kept her off the list. He knows she doesn't really want him to win, and she has her eyes on the White House in 2008. Why give speaking time to somebody that is rooting for his failure? The other explanation would be that The Hildabeast does not want to lend her name to the Kerry ticket and boost its chances of succeeding.

Whatever the real reason is, it's not what they're saying it is.

EU PRESIDENT-ELECT CRITICIZES 'ARROGANT AMERICA'

Jose Manuel Barroso, the outgoing Portuguese prime minister who has been nominated as president of the European Commission, yesterday complained about 'arrogant America.' Oh really? What exactly is this waste of oxygen up to?

He went on to say "I think there are magnificent things that exist in the US as well as some fairly horrific things." He didn't say what he meant by horrific...perhaps he means the Islamic terrorists that attacked this country on 9/11. Probably not...since he's a socialist, he's probably talking about the Bush tax cuts. As for the magnificent things, he probably means the U.N.

Let's just look at the record of the 'arrogant America' when it comes to Europe. Now, in situations like this, most people would bring up saving their bacon in World War II, but there are more recent examples. Who protected Europe from the Soviet Union during the Cold War? Arrogant America. Who cleaned up their mess in the Balkans while Europe sat around twiddling their thumbs? It was arrogant America. Who is currently fighting the only meaningful war against Islamic terrorism? Yep....arrogant America.

What's the bottom line here? It's not arrogance...it's envy. He dislikes America for the same reason the rest of his buddies in the Axis of Weasels do: it's the best damn country on Earth.

AL JAZEERA'S NEW CODE OF ETHICS

Arabic satellite television channel Al Jazeera has unveiled a new code of ethics that it says will ensure balanced and sensitive reporting. This ought to be good. Perhaps there are a few things missing from Al Jazeera's new code of ethics.

Will they stop broadcasting the demands of Islamic terrorist hostage-takers? After all, if these thugs knew they couldn't get any face time on TV, they'd stop taking hostages. I doubt we'll see any change there. And what about broadcasting the videos of the beheadings? Are they banning that entirely? We shall see.

Al Jazeera has spent its entire existence being a propaganda machine for Islamic terrorists. During the Iraq war it was so bad, they could have easily been considered a legitimate military target, since they were as bad, if not worse, than Saddam's Iraqi TV was.

READING ASSIGNMENTS

The Philippines has now joined the appeasers, giving into the Islamic terrorists' demands and cutting and running in Iraq.  Michelle Malkin is none too happy, and has a thing or two to say about it.

Bill Cosby continues to tell it like it is...and Walter Williams joins in on the discussion. (Includes language that may be objectionable to some readers, might not be safe for work.)

Tired of jumping through a million hoops just to do something with your computer or some other digital gadget?  So is Thomas Sowell,

A French woman is admitting she made up the whole story about an anti-Semitic attack.  People lie to get attention all the time...but somehow the retraction never gets as much press as the initial accusation.

A man got into an argument with a friend at a pub in Northern England.  He went home and got his sawed-off shotgun, jammed it in his pants and went back to the establishment.  There's only one word for what happened next: ouch.

Kerry finally let it slip on '60 Minutes' on Sunday: he is opposed to the war in Iraq (that's right...the same war he voted for.)  John Podhoretz says these are words that can't be taken back.

The media are nothing more than a bunch of John Kerry cheerleaders, says Brendan Miniter.  What...bias in the media?  Imagine that!

The international court has condemned the building of Israel's wall to keep terrorists out.  Dick Morris says it's absolutely the right thing to do, and wonders why people think Israel has no right to defend itself.

More about Israel's fence...this time from former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

President Bush has been criticized for not speaking to the NAACP convention. Mary Mitchell says the president has absolutely nothing to gain by doing so.

Think John Edwards' new honeymoon with the media will last?  Of course, they want to see him elected.  James Pinkerton explains.

The investigations into the U.N. oil-for-food scam are underway...and Debra Saunders says the U.N. is completely responsible, but will they be held accountable?

Read the intriguing story of the Ivy League nude posture photos (safe for work, just text).  Read more in Wellesley's magazine Counterpoint. (pdf file, some nude pics with article)

Scamming the Nigerian email scammers -- geeks fight back.

What is life like in Iraq now? Read these Iraqiblogs for a taste of every day life in Iraq and the thoughts and feelings of the people.

Listener Billy E. notes this bail bond sign that gives a "disgusting twist to the old Negro spiritual".

Submitted by several listeners, Operation Give, bringing needed items to children in Iraq, can't get two containers of donations to the children because of a little trouble with a shipping company. [looks like this has been resolved! see update at bottom of linked page.]
