BILL COSBY -- PAYING THE PRICE

Now we have a second woman coming forth to accuse Bill Cosby of some sexual impropriety.  This particular event supposedly happened 30 years ago.  After the passage of 30 years this woman deserves to be paid no attention at all.

You have to wonder, though, whether or not these charges against Bill Cosby might have anything to do with Cosby's recent comments about dominant black culture in the United States.  His words have surely stung a lot of people who are used to blaming their shortcomings on white racism.  

NOW DON'T Y'ALL GO AND BUILD A NUKE, YA HEAR?

When it comes to the potential for a massive loss of life, there is no greater outside threat* to America than the threat presented by a nuclear weapon in the hands of terrorists.  Those of you who remember the little experiments run by ABC News know that once Islamic terrorists get their paws on a nuke, they would have no trouble getting it into the United States.  ABC successfully transported nuclear materials -- one shipment from Turkey and the other from Indonesia -- into the heart of New York City and Los Angeles.  

The best way to prevent nuclear terrorism is to keep the nukes out of the hands of Islamic madmen.  Allowing Iran to continue with its nuclear weapons program would not be helpful in that regard, nor would allowing that strange little gargoyle who runs North Korea to continue with his programs.  Kim Jong-Il has never seen a weapons system he didn't want to sell for big bucks.

So ... this morning The Gargoyle announces  that his communist state  is dropping out of six-party nuclear talks and intends to "bolster its nuclear weapons arsenal." This would be the first public admission from the North that they do indeed possess nukes. 

Kim Jong-Il's crowd also whined that the US wants to get rid of them: "The U.S. disclosed its attempt to topple the political system in the DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) at any cost, threatening it with a nuclear stick. This compels us to take a measure to bolster its nuclear weapons arsenal in order to protect the ideology, system, freedom and democracy chosen by the people in the DPRK." Well, isn't this interesting. Since they've now put their cards on the table, perhaps it's time for us to do the same.

Then there's Iran.  The Mad Mullahs have announced that there is no way the U.S. is going to cause them to halt their nuclear program.  That program exists for one reason.  To build nuclear weapons.  A country with that much oil certainly doesn't have a crying need for nuclear power plants.

Dealing with the Mad Mullahs and The Gargoyle would certainly be a lot easier if the rest of the civilized western world would join with the U.S. in standing up to these madmen.  It seems, though, that Western Europe, with the limited exception of Great Britain, is quite content to let the U.S. take the point on this important issue while they spend time appeasing their Muslim populations and playing to the peace at any cost crowd.

In the meantime, there are people in this country who would be thrilled with the thought of the Islamic world possessing nuclear weapons.  In fact, no doubt there are America-hating leftists who would be pleased to see a nuclear terrorist attack on the U.S.  If leftists like Ward Churchill want to see the United States wiped off the face of the earth ... what better way?

In the meantime, it's all too easy for us to talk about what should and should not be done with North Korea and Iraq.  But how would you like to be the person who has to make the decisions here, knowing that whatever you decide, lives will be on the line.

Maybe China and Israel will make this a lot easier for us.

YOU GOTTA LOVE THIS.  I KNOW I DO.

Wal-Mart announced yesterday that it is going to close a store in Jonquiere, Quebec.  For those of you who attended government schools, Quebec is a part of Canada; the part that speaks French.  This particular Wal-Mart was recently unionized.  Now Wal-Mart says that the demands from union negotiators would make it impossible for the store to sustain business.  So, the workers will all be fired and the store will be closed.  The store will close in May.

Should unions be outlawed? Of course not.  People should certainly be free to form a collective to negotiate with one voice with their employer.  By the same token, the employer should be free to say "thanks, but no thanks" and either close doors, or hire employees who have a greater sense of their own individuality.  

There are many things I would like to do or would have liked to have done in my life.  Go into space, for instance, or travel to Everest base camp.  Also on that list is to form a company, hire about 200 people, treat them well, sit back and watch them form a union, and then fire them all and close down.  

Maybe someday.

BOORTZ THE HORSE

Just in case you're the betting kind, Boortz the horse is running in the 7th race at Aqueduct today.  The line yesterday was 3/1.  Yes, the horse was bred in Ocala, Florida where The Talkmaster rules.  It was named after me.  It's not exactly an aircraft carrier, but it's a start.

ANOTHER REALITY SHOW IDEA

Yesterday, in response to the reality show scheduled for British TV based on prison "abuses" at Abu Ghraib, I suggested a reality show where Americans would be taken to London, there to live for several weeks on British cuisine and to be tasked with finding a dentist.  A listener has come up with another idea, this one for a French TV reality show.  Send Americans to France where they would be challenged to find (a) a place to bathe and, (b) deodorant.

READING ASSIGNMENTS

Did Eason Jordan, CNN's chief news honcho, really say that American soldiers in Iraq have deliberately killed journalists?  Quite a few people are worked up over this one.  Here's an account from someone who was in the audience.

Ann Coulter has a name for Ward Churchill, and he'll be pleased to know that it's an American Indian one. She also has a nice little history of all his lies and deception.

What's the best way to stop Hillary Clinton from becoming President of the United States? Dick Morris says the answer is to draft Condoleezza Rice into the 2008 race.

The mainstream media is still in overdrive: the minuscule cuts in Bush's proposed budget are tragic. The Media Research Center has a report.

Here are some pictures from Ward Churchill's department at his university, along with some shots of his anti-American leftist decor.

A high school kid in Rhode Island submitted an art project comparing President Bush to Adolf Hitler. Naturally, since he was attending a government school, this brainwashed little leftist got himself an A.

The mayor of Baltimore is comparing President Bush's budget cuts to 9/11, calling them an attack on America's cities. Of course, he's a Democrat.

Al Sharpton has now taken a break from fighting racism to fight for better conditions for the nation's chickens. Larry Elder wonders what this means for the state of racism in this country.

What's more important: Armstrong Williams accepting payments from the education department, or the head of CNN making treasonous statements in a third country? Marvin Olasky has more.

Larry Kudlow makes the case that the deficits in President Bush's budget are no big deal and the more important issue is growth.

The United Nations is approaching its 60th anniversary and things aren't looking too good. Here's a joint op-ed piece by former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell.
