THE FAIRTAX BOOK TOUR

Today the Neal Boortz Show will be coming to you from the WTMA studios in Charleston, South Carolina.  Congressman Linder was with me for another great turnout at the Barnes & Noble in Charleston where we signed well over 500 books.  South Carolina Congressman Henry Brown, one of the co-sponsors of HR-25, stopped by and actually signed books with Congressman Linder and myself!

Tonight it's Birmingham, Alabama.  We'll be at the Books & Co. book store located at 757 Brookwood Village for a 7:00 pm signing. [Fayetteville pictures are up. Greensboro & Charleston pictures are coming. -ww]

BABIES ON THE NO FLY LIST?

These are the people who are protecting us at our airports and other public transportation facilities?  This is the "you don't professionalize unless you federalize" crowd that Tom Daschle was telling us?  You've heard this, haven't you?  The TSA is now stopping babies --- and we're talking about infants - from getting on airplanes because their names show up on no-fly lists.  I could sit here and type for hours without writing anything that increases the understanding you already have of just how absurd this is.  Here is an organization that won't profile .. that won't seek out and pay special attention to the people who are actually threatening us, but that will stop 14-month-old infants from getting on airplanes because their name is on a no-fly list.  I feel so safe now.

WILL THE LAST JEW OUT OF GAZA PLEASE TURN OUT THE LIGHTS

OK, I understand that the Israeli government is trying to make nice with the so-called "Palestinians."  Once again the working theory seems to be that if you show the Arab side in this conflict that you're willing to negotiate and to bend they might actually decide to stop killing Jews and agree to live in some sort of side-by-side peaceful coexistence.  Nice idea, and good try.  It's not going to work.  The Arab/Muslim goal is and will remain to not rest until every Jew, every Israeli is gone from the Middle East.  It doesn't stop there.  The Islamic jihadist's ultimate goal is to convert the world to Islam, and to subjugate those who refuse the conversion.  The sooner we understand this the safer the non-Jewish and non-Islamic world will be.

YOU CAN'T OVERSTATE HOW DANGEROUS THIS NEWS IS

No ... it's not news about terrorists or the economy or politics.  It's news about news.  News about news magazines.  News magazines such as Time and Newsweek are experiencing  .  Newsweek's newsstand sales are down 14%.  In the meantime, Celebrity magazines are experiencing what the Audit Bureau of Circulation refers to as "Sparkling circulation increases."  The American people are more interested in what is going on with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie then they are what is happening in World War IV, the war on Islamic terrorism.

Now, say "dumb masses" three times, real fast.

Wait! I just found this in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's "Vent."  "I'll worry about fighting the Iraqi insurgents when they attack Atlanta. Until that time, why is it our responsibility to protect, defend, and develop the infrastructure of Iraq?"

Once again.... "dumb masses" three more times.  Faster.

CINDY SHEEHAN NEWS

Word is that Bush and anti-war protestor Cindy Sheehan will hold a news conference today during which she will detail her plans for a complete overhaul of the nation's health care industry.  If time permits Ms. Sheehan will also present her solution to global warming.  In the meantime, her husband has filed for divorce.  There are very few people in this country who blame him.

AND HOW ABOUT SOME HATE MAIL?

OK ... so we're getting hundreds of emails every day from people who profess their appreciation for both the show and The FairTax Book.  Well ... with so many positive messages coming across, I have to remind myself that there are still people out there who don't seem to have such warm and fuzzy feelings about me or the program.  So, here's today's installment of Nealz Hate Mail!  We'll go ahead and leave the typos for you to play with.

Neil, you egotistical pompous ass.  I'm so sick and tired of hearing your four and a half hour infomercial every morning on your little Fair Tax book.  Don't let your already fat head explode because you sold a few books.  Who the hell couldn't sell something while advertising, CONSTANTLY, to millions of people, day in and day out, for four and a half hours.  You really need to take a look at your fat, four eyed ass in the mirror and realize your a talk radio host and not Ron Popeil.  As for your hick of a sidekick, Beliiiiiiinda, she has her head stuck so far up your ass it's repulsive.  As is the case for Mr. Buttkiss, Royal.  Congratulations, you sold a few books, now move on and do your       F-ING job fat boy. 

Well .. I guess that pretty much puts me in my place, don't you think?

BILL CLINTON AND OSAMA

This is a complete crock. President Bill Clinton, always looking for a chance to revise history about the impact of his disastrous administration's policies, has now weighed in on the issue of Osama Bin Laden. He says, and I quote: "I desperately wish that I had been president when the FBI and CIA finally confirmed, officially, that bin Laden was responsible for the attack on the U.S.S. Cole. Then we could have launched an attack on Afghanistan early. I don't know if it would have prevented 9/11. But it certainly would have complicated it." Surely you jest, Mr. President.

The U.S. S. Cole was attacked by Al-Qaeda on October 12, 2000. Too late for Bill Clinton to do anything about it, right? Well...not really. What Clinton is really doing is making excuses for his previous 8 years of inaction. Let's take a look at what he could have done to prevent 9/11 along the way, shall we? Let's just hit the high points here...don't want to take up valuable space.

In 1996, Osama Bin Laden was expelled from the Sudan. He was offered to the United States on a silver platter. Bill Clinton turned down the offer, and Osama went to Afghanistan. Would that have prevented 9/11? Preventing Bin Laden from ever going to Afghanistan and setting up a base there? It just might have.

In 1998, Al-Qaeda bombed our embassies in East Africa. What did Bill Clinton do? Nothing, really. He was too busy dealing with Monica Lewinsky to be bothered with such things.

But then, in the same interview, Bill Clinton actually has the gall to say: "I always thought that Bin Laden was a bigger threat than the Bush administration did." Oh really? Why then did you do nothing about it? Because, Mr. President, you're lying. You didn't think Osama Bin Laden was a threat at all.

And 3,000 people paid the ultimate price for your inaction on September 11, 2001.

HOWARD DEAN...AGAIN

The Democrats have to be beginning to wonder just when the time will be ripe to pull the plug on Howard Dean's tenure as the Chairman of the Democratic Party. Dean is at it again...embarrassing himself and the rest of the party. His latest proclamation: Iraqis were better off under Saddam Hussein. How quaint.

Chairman Dean was on "Face The Nation" over the weekend. [pdf of transcript] He actually made the following ridiculous statement: "It looks like today, and this could change, as of today it looks like women will be worse off in Iraq than they were when Saddam Hussein was president of Iraq." Oh really? Setting aside his anti-American statements and slandering of the U.S. Military, let's explore the facts of the situation.

Under Saddam Hussein's rule, there were such a thing as rape rooms. That means Iraqi Fedayeen soldiers and Saddam's sick, twisted sons Uday and Qusay would yank women out of their houses and rape them. Sometimes in front of their families, who would be made to watch. Better off under that system are they, Mr. Dean?

Here's another fact that is lost in the media lies about Iraq. There is more clean water and electricity flowing in Iraq than before the invasion. More schools. Better off under the old system, huh? I think not.

Howard Dean is nuts...but then we already knew that.

CINDY SHEEHAN EXPOSED

A sad day for Cindy Sheehan yesterday. Her husband decided to dump her, filing for divorce. Looks like he had enough of her shenanigans. The divorce filing cites "irreconcilable differences." I suppose that's because there wasn't a check box for "need to get as far away as possible from crazy woman who is ruining my family name." It was probably a long time coming anyway.

But the more interesting news is that more facts are emerging about Cindy Sheehan's first meeting with President Bush. You do know that she's already met with the president, don't you? She is now demanding a second meeting. There are heads of state that don't get two meetings with the commander-in-chief. I suppose she thinks she is special.

At any rate, the folks over at WorldNetDaily decided to do a Google search for images of the Sheehan family and President Bush. Sure enough, there they were: pictures of the Sheehan family with George Bush. The pictures have since been deleted from the Sheehan family website, but not from Google's servers.

Of note: In one of the photos, President Bush is kissing Cindy Sheehan. Not quite the image of a cold, calculating and uncaring president that Cindy is portraying in the media these days, is it? That's because Cindy Sheehan is lying, and she's been caught.

Will you hear about any of this in the mainstream media? Of course not. It would benefit George Bush, and we can't have that, can we?

Intern Heather's mini rant:

Good publicity or bad publicity; it is still publicity. Cindy Sheehan is getting exactly what she wants. Publicity. Even from us, the radio. We all deserve to grieve in any way we need to. I do not think someone's grief should be exploited no matter if she put herself in that position or not. She isn't helping any cause. It is time to let it go, let her go and let the pain of losing Casey go. This is much deeper of a personal issue for her to deal with than it needing to be slammed across the headlines. Casey did not die in vane; none of us would dare to think that. He died so that others could be free; he died a hero. He died doing what his heart led him to do in the first place. Yes, Cindy, we grieve with you too. We grieve for all who have lost their lives, their children, their parents and friends. Some may disagree but it was for the most noble of causes. Thank you Casey, you were braver than I ever could have been.

REDNECK SCRAP BOOK

If you don't have the right tool for the job, improvise. More in the Redneck Scrap Book.

READING ASSIGNMENTS

Another female teacher rocking the world of a teenage schoolboy.  This time it's in the UK, and she's a redhead.  Not quite as hot as the other teachers have been, but beggars can't be choosers, I suppose.

President Bush continues to play the Democrats like a fiddle.  Supreme Court nominee John Roberts is expected to cruise to confirmation without a fight.

The blathering nonsense about "record gas prices" continues.  So how much is it where you are....$2.55? $2.69?  Still not a record.  Not until it goes over $3.03 a gallon, as it did in March of 1981.

Islamic preacher of hate Louis Farrakhan says Mexican President Vicente Fox was right about Mexicans doing the jobs blacks don't want to do.  Not exactly a ringing endorsement.

Steve Forbes is once again pushing the flat tax.  The only problem: it keeps the IRS, you still have to file a return every year and the Imperial Federal Government sucks money out of your paycheck.  Not so with the FairTax.

Did you know that there is good news coming out of Iraq?  Naturally, since it benefits the Bush administration, the mainstream media is burying it.  But Deroy Murdock is not.

The broadcast networks and the mainstream media continue to prop up the loony Cindy Sheehan.  The Media Research Center reports.

Did you know that we do not live in a democracy?  David Limbaugh says our founding fathers understood better than anyone the threats posed by democracy, and instead opted for a constitutional republic.

Do Americans "need" illegal immigration in order to get people to do jobs Americans won't?  Nope...Thomas Sowell explains the economics in plain English.  Don't miss this one.

Cal Thomas has an interesting idea: he says President Bush should meet with Cindy Sheehan a second time, but says he should do it in public, and with women who suffered under Saddam Hussein's regime telling their stories as well. That should make Mrs. Sheehan squirm just a bit.

At this club, you can get some ideas in the toilet before you hook up. Yep, the bathroom is papered in Kama Sutra images.

Here's something you don't see every day: a preying mantis eating a hummingbird.

Heather's Reading Assignments

1976-1999: Fear not! You are exempt my friend. Feel free to smog.

Here is a new one we wouldn't think to look for in airports: marijuana in his shoe. And when I say 'his' I mean the Peanut-President's grandkid.

Being that none of us were there, you have to believe what you believe and it isn't something you can always convince someone of. On the other hand, the Flying Spaghetti Monster created a mountain, trees, and a midget. (It's worth the read. I promise.)

Bedbugs... NOT just in the silly rhymes. Been to a hotel lately?

Go Coach Graham! Cheering for the coach more than for the team .
