THE FAIRTAX BOOK TOUR BEGINS!
We're off to New York City today to begin
the tour to promote
The FairTax Book! John Linder and I will be making
appearances on Several television and radio shows. Look for Congressman
Linder on Greta van Sustren tonight. Linder and I will be on Hannity &
Colmes on Tuesday night. On Wednesday I'll be on CNN's American Morning
and on Cavuto that afternoon. In the meantime, if you can't get to a
bookstore near you, you can order The FairTax Book by clicking on the link
above! We're hatching a scheme for those of you who can't get to a book
signing and for those of you who have ordered your books over the Internet.
We'll be providing you with a way to get the authors' autographs in those books
.. no matter where you are!
In the meantime ... let's see if we can
make so much noise about The FairTax that the handlers in Washington can't help
but notice ... and act! Neal's Book Tour Schedule

MADE HIM DO IT
Now that the 4 would-be
Islamic bombers have been captured in London, the international media and
pro-appeasement Euro-weenies have set about to try and figure out why these
S.O.B's did what they did.
First up, we have a CNN
report today that says a suspect in Italian custody is saying the attempted July
21 bombings
had nothing to do with the bombings on July 7 or Al-Qaeda. He says
he did it to draw attention to the anger over war in Iraq. A ha!
So ... what was Osama's excuse on 9/11? For those of you who went to
government schools, the Iraq action came after 9/11, not before. The implication is that
the war in Iraq made these Islamic terrorists try to do what they did and as a
result, the whole thing is George Bush's fault. Liberal conspiracies are so
neat and tidy, aren't they?
Well, not really. First
of all, people lie. Is Hussain Osman going to tell police if he is a member of
Al-Qaeda? Probably not. Second, if the bombings were because they were mad
about Iraq, how would anyone ever know? But to really understand the thinking
of these psychos, take a look at a few of the supposed quotes from this Islamic
baby killer:
"I am against war. I've
marched in peace rallies and nobody listened to me. I never thought of killing
people." Apparently he never thought of killing people until he decided to blow
up innocent people on July 21st. Fortunately, the bombs didn't go off.
Expect the media and
various other Islamic terrorist apologists to start blaming and justifying the
London bombings because of the war in Iraq. Bush is the real terrorist in their
weak little minds.
JOHN BOLTON HEADED FOR UN
When George Bush
nominated John Bolton to be the next ambassador to the United Nations, it didn't
take long before Democrats lost their minds and announced their opposition to
Bolton. Their main reasons are that he dared to criticize the United Nations
and that he is blunt and direct. Bolton even went so far as to say you could
lop 10 floors off the top of the UN building and it wouldn't make a bit of
difference. Bolton was only partially right...you could tear down the entire UN
headquarters and it wouldn't make any difference. In fact, it might actually
help.
Anyway, Democrats and a
few weak-kneed Republicans in the Senate aren't supporting Bolton. As a result,
they don't have 60 votes to bring the nomination to the floor for a vote. If
this were a Democratic president's nominee, we would never hear the end of the
whining. But as is too often the case, there are different rules when a
Republican president is doing the picking.
So what is George Bush to
do? It turns out there is a loophole that could get John Bolton installed at
the UN right away. It's called a recess appointment, and it's considered an
end-run around the Senate. How does it work? All Bush has to do is wait for
the Senate to go on vacation, then
appoint Bolton to the seat. The only catch?
He can only serve until the next session of Congress begins, which would be
January 2007. That leaves John Bolton about 19 months or so to do the gig.
Despite the Constitution giving the president this power, Democrats are not
pleased. Enter Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd.
Dodd complained on Fox
News Sunday yesterday that Bolton was damaged goods and didn't have the
confidence of the Congress. Too bad. If Dodd says he doesn't have the
confidence of the Congress, then why don't we just have a vote to see for sure?
If the Democrats are right, Bolton won't be confirmed and Bush will pick someone
else.
But the left is afraid he
would be confirmed, which is why they won't allow the vote. Typical.
REDNECK SCRAP BOOK I have to say, I'm a bit curious as to
the story behind this.
Lottery winner that couldn't give up the old homestead? We'll probably never
know. View the entire Redneck Scrap Book.
READING ASSIGNMENTS
Robert Novak has had enough.
He's tired of the CIA abusing his journalistic integrity, so he's speaking out
about the Valerie Plame case. Against the advice of his lawyers. Novak also
says he's chomping at the bit to correct other lies about him.
Do the vast majority of
Muslims in Great Britain renounce terrorism?
Not according to this story...100,000 of them back the London bombers.
Allah would be proud.
Sandy Pants Berger actually has the gall
to blast President Bush for a security failure. This from the guy who exploited
a security failure at the National Archives. Unbelievable.
Professor Mike Adams continues to keep the administration
at UNC-Wilmington on their toes...this time he sets his sights on something
called the Women's Resource Center. Entertaining as always.
Al Gore's new TV station goes on the air today.
it's called "Current TV." It will either succeed, or become one of the many
failed cable channels that litter the countryside.
Victor Davis Hanson has a suggestion for dealing
with jihadists. Don't. Instead, figure out how to defeat them and stop
worrying about the roots of terrorism and other such nonsense.
Why do so many Islamic
terrorists make their home in the United Kingdom?
Mark Steyn says they feel right at home
and in fact are quite cozy.
We're just about to the
60th anniversary of Truman's decision to drop the bomb on Hiroshima.
Richard Frank says new documents show why
the 33rd president did what he did.
With the Teamsters and
the service workers leaving the AFL-CIO this past week, what does that mean for
the labor movement?
Star Parker brings us up to speed.
John Leo points out that political correctness is going to get us all killed.
What's the point of searching little old ladies and Boy Scouts instead of
profiling people who actually look like terrorists? |
