PRIVATE SPACE FLIGHT

Three years from inception to accomplishment.  Thirty million dollars.  A private astronaut in sub-orbital space.  Do any of you think that the government could have pulled this one off?  Do you folks realize what was accomplished yesterday?  I'll guarantee that if someone went to NASA and told them to develop a completely new from top to bottom vehicle to send three men into sub-orbital space and return to a landing strip, and to do the whole project for under thirty million .. they couldn't do it.

So ... let me tell you what's next.  Before the month is out my guess is that someone is going to propose that private individuals be prohibited from traveling into space.  Someone will step forward to close off space exploration to all but government. 

Just wait.

SAN FRAN PROPOSES LETTING ILLEGALS VOTE

A plan is being considered to allow non-citizens, including illegal aliens, to vote in San Francisco school board elections.  That's right...I'm calling them Illegal aliens...because that is what they are.  They are here illegally and they are aliens.  Insensitive? Of course...so deal with it.

The proposed November ballot measure is designed to get more parents involved in their child's education. What? They're illegal aliens! What are they doing here in the first place, and what are we doing spending taxpayer money to educate them?  The answer to the "problem" of illegal immigration is simple.  Since they're here illegally, round them up and send them back.  But that would be mean, cries Democrats...who cares. 

Next?  Letting non-citizens, including illegals, to vote in local city council or county commission elections. Then state elections.  The reason is simple.  Immigrants tend to vote Democrat.  If you can't convince American citizens to go with your tax-and-spend big government agenda, maybe you can convince immigrants.

Once again, the left needs as many potential voters as possible...and that includes making as many people dependent on them no matter what price society pays.  Once again, taxpayers are getting screwed. Liberals will stop at nothing to stay in power.

UN LECTURES US OVER OIL PROFITS

United Nations auditors are criticizing the United States for the way it is has spent $11 billion in oil revenues and are whining that they have faced resistance from coalition officials. Huh?  The United Nations is lecturing the United States about how we spend oil revenues?  You've got to be kidding me.

This is rich...the corrupt goons at the United Nations that couldn't run an oil-for-food program without lining their own pockets and ripping off the Iraqi people want to lecture us about oil profits.  This is the same United Nations that took blood money from Saddam Hussein and his cronies and ripped off the Iraqi public.  What more could the UN do to destroy any vestige of respect for institutions that may be left?

And what have we done with the money?  We have spent it on Iraq....every penny.  What did the United Nations do with the money from the oil-for-food scam when they were running it?  Oh that's right...they stole a lot of it.

The United Nations has no right to criticize anyone for how we handle funds in Iraq. 

May I now pause to resurrect the idea one of my listeners had? Move the United Nations to Haiti.  Haiti could become to the UN what the Vatican is to the Roman Catholic Church.  Give them their own country to run, and then walk away.

AIR AMERICA'S FINAL DAYS??

By the way ... when Air America goes tango uniform you can look for an immediate outcry from Democrats, Socialists and their leftist fellow travelers to do something about conservative "hate" radio.  If the left can't succeed with the format, then nobody should be allowed to succeed with the format.  I wonder what legislative  initiatives they'll come up with to shut down Limbaugh, et al.

Wait!  I am a bit late here.  The Senate already has a measure before it that is designed to get The Godfather kicked off Armed Forces Radio.  That's just the beginning ... more to come.

COMO SE LLAMA USTED?

The United States Supreme Court has ruled that you can be arrested if you do not give your name to police.  In a 5-4 vote, the court upheld 21 state laws giving police the right to ask people their name and jail those who do not cooperate.

Is this yet another erosion of our freedoms and liberty? I think that the argument can be made that it is.  But before people run right out and declare this the end of all civilization, put that shoe on the other foot for a second.  Imagine police are hunting a murderer, a rapist or a terrorist....and they have a suspect.  They know who they are looking for, but the suspect refuses to provide his name.  What do they do...let the suspect go?  I think not.

If the worst thing that happens in society is that you have to provide your name to law enforcement when asked, we're all doing fine.  There are much worse infringements taking place on private property rights and economic freedom that people should be more worried about. 

Sadly, people will become far more exercised over the fact that you might have to give your name to a police officer.  How about the fact that the community in which you live might come along at any moment and seize your home so that it can be turned over to Wall-Mart for a parking lot?

Priorities, folks.  Priorities.

READING ASSIGNMENTS

Governor John Rowland of Connecticut resigned from office yesterday.  Apparently there was a drive to impeach him over supposedly improper gifts from friends and businessmen.  Of course, because he is a Republican, the media must chant that as much as possible. But a Democratic politician...no matter what the offense...will get no mention of party affiliation in the news article.

Michael Moore's film distributor is not rejecting support from the terrorist group Hezbollah because they don't want to hurt ticket sales in the Middle East.  What a traitor.

Al-Jazeera television is so anti-Coalition, distorts the news, expresses glee at the killing of Americans and is pro-terrorist.  We should shut it down, says Ralph Peters.

Think the political mudslinging in 2004 is unprecedented?  Think again, says Bill Whalen, who takes a look at some of the more bitter contests in history.

Here's another AP story about allegations about a Republican politician...once again, the party affiliation is the most important element of the news story.  Not if it was a Democrat.  More media bias at its finest.

The Clinton apologists are back from a 3 1/2 year vacation, and already twisting the facts of the 90's.  The Media Research Center is there to call them on it.

Either America is evil and the hatred of it is justified, or the America-haters are evil.  Dennis Prager makes a case for the latter.

The New York Times and the Washington Post got it wrong yet again on the Saddam-Al-Qaeda link.  Joel Mowbray is not the least bit surprised, and explains why.
 
One of the biggest claims by the left is that George W. Bush is a liar.  David Limbaugh takes a look at the evidence, and asks: who's the liar now?

Economists are worried about inflation...should you be too?  Not at all, says Larry Kudlow, who goes on to explain that the markets are a better indicator than talking heads.

Bill Clinton claims he was exonerated in Whitewater and all of his other legal troubles, but as Debra Saunders wonders, just what does he mean by "exoneration?"

The media claims they are not biased.  A recent study shows otherwise, and according to Bruce Bartlett, the bias is the reason people are leaving behind certain media outlets.

Clinton calls his impeachment an 'badge of honor.'  Rich Lowry delves into the seemingly forgotten facts behind Slick Willie's impeachment.

Towing company holds man's wheelchair until he pays bill.
