 JUST A FEW THOUGHTS
Sorry folks ... not exactly a lot of stuff in the Nuze this morning ... I
overslept by 90 minutes. Damn ... it felt good.
They've found more than a dozen chemical weapons shells in Iraq. These weapons
contain enough sarin and mustard gas to kill over 100,000 people. I wonder what
the killing capability of the chemical weapons found in Iraq has to be before
the Democrats will admit that any have been found.
Islamic terrorists in Iraq are now trying to recruit some of Saddam's weapons
scientists. Still the left sees no threat from these people. We'll probably hear
from Ted Kennedy that these terrorists wouldn't be trying to recruit these
scientists if the United States had just left them alone.
The New York Times says that Michael Moore's new movie "blithely tramples
the boundary between documentary and demagoguery" and that it is more like
an "editorial cartoon." That's what the Times says. What does DNC
Chairman Terry McAuliffe have to say about the film? He says he believes its
assertions and that it is "fair and factually based." These are the
people we want running our country, aren't they?
Big time kudos to Venus Williams. What a class act. A scoring error by an
official at the Wimbledon yesterday may well have cost her the match. Did she
complain? No. She said that one scoring error wasn't to blame for her loss. That
makes her a champion in my eyes. We don't see this level of class in
professional sports these days.
MY, HOW THE FREELOADERS WHINE
The Atlanta Journal Constitution has a story today about poor Ruby Fair. Ruby,
you see, is 91 years old. She lives in a nursing home. Since 2001 the taxpayers
of the State of Georgia have been paying for her stay. Ruby Fair owns 162 acres
of land in east Georgia. Now the state of Georgia wants to take that land and
sell it so that the taxpayers can be reimbursed for Ruby's care.
Oh man ... you should hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth going on over this
plan. Ruby's children asked if state officials were "going to bear down
this hard on our elderly population and go for the jugular vein?" Hey,
kids. The taxpayers have been forking over big bucks for a few years not to take
care of your mother. Where were you then? Were you whining about the state using
its police power to seize money from people you don't even know to pay for your
mother's nursing home care? Does it occur to you that these people had something
else they could be spending that money for? Maybe they had medical expenses in
their own family that needed to be covered. Maybe they were behind on their
mortgage, or needed repairs to their car. Did that bother you? No, you just
stood by and watched the state use its police power to seize money from complete
strangers to care for your mother. I sure would be interested to find out just
how much you two were willing to dip into your savings to pay for your mother's
medical care. But hell, why should you? Why even bother when the state will take
care of it all for you!
We all know what the deal here is, don't we? Ruby Fair's kids will get those 162
acres once she gets tucked in for that eternal celestial dirt nap. Now the state
is threatening to take that land, sell it, and reimburse the people who have
been taking care of Ruby Fair while her children dreamed of inheritances.
Then we have William Morris. He's quoted in the article also. His wife's uncle
is in a Fairburn nursing home at state expense. Evidently the wife's uncle has
some assets that the state is eyeing. William Morris says "this is theft
... hard-core theft." Pray tell, Mr. Morris, what is it when the government
takes money away from me to pay for your relative's nursing home stay? Let me
see if I get this straight: You take money from me to pay for your wife's
uncle's medical care, no problem. You make your uncle pay the costs of his own
care and that's theft. Yeah, I think I get it. You were educated in a government
school, weren't you?
The run isn't over. We also have William Pinkney. His parents are both in a
taxpayer-funded community health services program. Pinkney says that it was his
father's dream to leave his property to his children and grandchildren.
"Unfortunately with this proposal, their American dream just went
away." OK .. now let me get this straight. Your version of the American
dream is to use the police power of government to force other people to pay
medical bills for your parents so that their estate will remain intact for you
to inherit when they die. Fascinating.
How did we ever arrive at the point in this country where Americans think that
they have some sort of an enforceable right to reach into the pockets of
complete strangers to get the money to cover their personal needs? Oh, I forgot.
Democrats. Democrats and government schools. AL
GORE OFF HIS ROCKER AGAIN
 Former
Vice President Al Gore is at it again. This time, he's really gone off his
rocker. That's right...he's headed straight for the loony bin.
Before you read the rest of this, stop and consider the following: had the
Florida Supreme Court gotten its way, Al Gore might very well be the president
of the United States. That's right...he might have his finger on the
button. THE button...the big one that blows up the world. We owe a
great debt of gratitude to 538 voters in the state of Florida.
So yesterday, Al Gore snuck out of the nut house in order to deliver another
speech. Now, what exactly is the point of all this? Is he
campaigning for The Poodle? Nope...he isn't clearing these speeches
through the sKerry campaign. Is he running for office? Not that he
has said. So what could possible be his motivation for making speech after
speech bashing the president of the United States in a time of war?
Bitterness, that's what. Al Gore cannot let go of the fact that he was
groomed all of his life to be president of the United States, yet he fell
short. He came so close, very, very close...getting millions of
votes...but he couldn't cross the finish line. It was right there in his
hands...the presidency...his place in history...and he couldn't get it
done. The man apparently now cannot live with himself. Too bad. What
a sore loser.
Anyway...the nuts and bolts of the speech are pretty much more of the same
claptrap we've heard from him before. He is accusing the president of
ignoring the warning signs of 9/11 (even though his administration did nothing
about terrorism for 8 long years) and claims there is no link between Saddam and
Al-Qaeda, which a lie, and he knows it, but it's something liberals won't let go
of.
Ladies and Gentlemen....Al Gore is insane.
CHENEY
DROPS THE BOMB
Did Dick Cheney really drop the "F" bomb on Patrick Leahy on the floor
of the United States Senate? If so, I think I've changed my mind. I want him to
stay on the Bush ticket. A lot of these Democrats need a good F you.
Every once in awhile something happens in Washington that is just so much fun,
the story bears being told more than a few times. This is one of those
occasions. Yesterday, Vice President Dick Cheney went down to the Senate for the
annual Senate Class photo. Now, you may wonder why Cheney would be in that
photo. For those of you who attended government schools, the vice president is
also the President of the Senate. Learn something new everyday, right? That's
why you listen to the show. Anyway, on with the story.
Patrick Leahy, the Senator from the People's Republic of Vermont, has recently
criticized Cheney publicly over contracts that were awarded to Halliburton in
the rebuilding of Iraq. Cheney used to be the CEO of Halliburton, and the
implication is that Cheney is somehow enriching his buddies at his former
company. The Vice President has severed all ties with Halliburton, but that's
never been enough for the Democrats. So Cheney, in seeing Leahy at the event,
decided to call him out on it, scolding him for his recent remarks.
Leahy shot back that Cheney had once accused him of being a bad Catholic, a
reference to a Bush judicial nominee battle last year that had some
conservatives accusing the Democrats of being anti-Catholic because the nominee,
William Pryor, was Catholic. That's when the wheels fell off, and what happened
next was nothing short of priceless.
Now, since the FCC might be reading this, I'm not going to tell you exactly what
the vice president said, but it was either "___ off," or "go
______ yourself." You can use your imagination to fill in the rest.
The media and the Democrats will soon be demanding Cheney apologize. He ought to
tell them the same thing he told Leahy.
BILL
CONTINUES HILLARY '08 CAMPAIGN
Anyone who thinks the release of Bill Clinton's memoirs is not carefully timed
so as to take attention away from The Poodle has another thing coming. Saturday
Night Bill knows that if Kerry wins, his wife will probably never be president.
So essentially, the Clinton media maneuvering is all designed to doom the
candidacy of The Souffle. We're already seeing it play out.
Last night on Larry King, Clinton once again praised the Bush administration's
efforts in Iraq (don't be distracted by Clinton's little side argument about
waiting for inspections to be completed.) This is at least the second time
Clinton has praised the Bush administration...saying that he would have
basically done what George Bush did, and that in a post 9-11 world, Saddam could
not be ignored. There was also the time that Clinton defended Bush by saying
that "he's just doing that he said would do" when he ran in 2000.
Now...imagine you're The Poodle. You and your underlings are out there trying to
bash President Bush as much as possible, and trying to convince the public that
he misled the nation and is a liar. At the very same time this is going on,
President Clinton, the last Democratic president and the heaviest hitter of your
party is out there absorbing the spotlight and praising your opponent. What do
you do? The answer is nothing....there's nothing sKerry can do. He's stuck.
The Clintons will see to it that the candidacy of John Kerry is doomed. You just
watch.
READING ASSIGNMENTS The
Associated Press is suing to get all of President Bush's military
records. Think the AP is going to sue The Poodle to get all of his
military records? Of course not, because the Bush-bashing liberals in the
media are biased. Max
Boot says Bill Clinton is a clever fellow, to be sure, but he is completely
clueless about character. The biased media has jumped at the chance to embarrass the president and
interview this demoted CIA analyst "anonymous." The
Media Research Center has a report.
The new European Union's Constitution runs 300 pages long, and Rich
Tucker talks about how the Euro-weenies still don't get it.

Krauthammer looks at the legacy of Bill Clinton.
The media loved to talk about Bill Clinton's gift of
"compartmentalization." Jonah
Goldberg undos the psychobabble.
Ex-diplomats have come out in support of The Souffle...Joel
Mowbray says many of the current diplomats also support Kerry...because
they're appeasers.
