CHANGES Neal's operation was successful and he'll be back on the air Monday. You
should call her Wanda from now on though. Bryan, Belinda, Royal and Laura will
keep you in Nuze until then.  DEMOCRATIC
VOTE-HUNTING
The Poodle and The Hildabeast held a press conference in Washington yesterday to
advance their proposals for "election reform." Of course, it's
important to remember that liberals only want election reform when they lose. If
they win, the system worked fine. Remember the media template: liberals are
victorious, conservatives take power.
So naturally, since Democrats are having problems at the polls, it's time to rig
the game a little further in their favor. Senators Clinton and Kerry went to the
podium in Washington D.C. and proceeded to propose the following nonsense: 1.)
That Election Day be made a federal holiday to encourage voting and 2.) Allow
ex-felons to vote. It's called the "Count Every Vote Act" so named in
honor of the liberal myth that not all votes were counted in the 2000 election.
It's hard to know where to even begin with this legislative pant load. First,
John Kerry lied outright at the press conference when he said "This has
nothing to do with me. It is not partisan, or shouldn't be." Riiiight. If
it has nothing to do with him, then what was he doing at the press conference?
The Poodle wants to further cement his victim status as somebody that was
somehow ripped off in the 2004 election.
Then there's the whole question of making Election Day a federal holiday. We
don't need any more holidays. If it were made a federal holiday, millions and
millions of dollars would be lost because we would have to pay federal employees
not to work that day. That would be a nice little payout to the Democratic
government employee unions. And letting convicted felons vote? Boy, the
Democrats are really getting desperate.
Since the left can't get votes at the ballot box the old-fashioned way, they're
resorting to trying to rig the game. This whole plan will probably go nowhere,
and for good reason.
CURTAINS
FOR RATHER
 CBS
is planning a prime-time sendoff for Dan Rather next month. It will reportedly
focus on his career at CBS, beginning with his coverage of the Kennedy
assassination and even covering his forged documents fiasco. The one-hour
special will air on his last night anchoring, March 9th. It will probably be a
very warm and fuzzy look over the years at the accomplishments of The Dan.
But will it cover the real Dan Rather? Will we hear about his relentless,
over-the-top, leftist bias? His now twenty-year career bashing the Bushes? And
what about last fall's forged documents case. That Dan Rather smeared a sitting
president with what he had to know were fake and forged documents, then tried to
get away with it, is inexcusable. But in reality, he did get away with it. Sure,
he's being booted from the anchor chair, but that was going to happen anyway.
Dan Rather should've been fired outright a long time ago. Instead, he'll be
celebrated. At least he's leaving.
THEY
ALWAYS COME BACK
Leftist liberals always announce that if a Republican is elected president of
the United States, they're leaving the country. Then when said Republican is
elected or re-elected, they always manage to stay. The reason? The United States
is the best damn country in the world, and they know it. Where else will people
pay them millions of dollars to entertain us, in spite of their extreme
political views?
So anyway, news of a different sort out of the entertainment world yesterday.
This time coming from rock singer Alanis Morissette. First though, a little
background. In April of 2004, speaking at the Canadian Juno awards. Morissette
had this to say about the United States: "We live in a land (Canada) where
we still think the human body is beautiful and we're not afraid of the female
breast." (Take a gander at her outfit.
Warning for those at work: it's a nude suit) She was, of course, criticizing all
of the uproar over Janet Jackson's Super Bowl flash. She also complained about a
US radio station that made her change some of the naughty lyrics in one of her
songs, saying: "They're in an era when they're scared, when there's lots of
fear." Sounds like Ms. Morissette doesn't like the United States very much.
Now flash-forward back to today. Last week, she took the oath of citizenship in
Los Angeles and is now an American citizen. Speaking of the honor, she said
"There was a turning point during the ceremony where I felt connected to
this country in a way that I didn't quite expect. America has been really great
to me and I have felt welcomed since the day I came here."
They always come back.
IRAQI
CHILDREN NEED SHOES Belinda pulled this note from a soldier in Iraq out of the email. Here's a
little thing you can do to make a difference. Dear Mr. Boortz,
My name is Sgt. Lamar Price I am currently with the 278th. Regemental Combat
Team at Camp Caldwell Iraq. I am writting to ask you for help with a project I
am trying to start here. A few weeks ago the 278th. opened a school in the
area near here. I became aware that a lot of the children did not have shoes
and were going to school barefoot in 50 degree weather. I am asking people to
mail one pair of children's shoes to my address in Iraq. They can be any size
boys or girls. They do not have to be new just servicable. I will then collect
them and give to our patrols and convoys to pass out. My address is Sgt. Lamar
Price RHHT278RCT PLT7 Camp Caldwell Iraq APO AEO 09374 As you know the United
States does more good for the people of Iraq than ever gets reported in the
media. Mr. Boortz, any advice or help you can give to get the word out will be
deeply appreciated.
Thank you
Sgt. Lamar Price
READING ASSIGNMENTS
Hollywood bigwig and Democratic contributor David Geffen says
Hillary can't win the presidency. That doesn't mean she won't try.
If President Bush's Social Security reform does not pass, Charles
Krauthammer has an interesting explanation of why. He says it was a
mistake for Bush to mention the program's bankruptcy date of 2042.
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was a bit testy during his testimony before
Congress this week, and David
Limbaugh says you can't blame him. How would you feel if you were
blamed for every little thing?
Media bias has less to do with conservative or liberal views than whether or not
the media is doing its job. Thomas
Sowell wonders, for instance, why John Kerry's discharge papers are dated
during the Carter administration?
Lean? Tight? Austere? These are words being used to describe President Bush's
budget, but George
Will reminds us that it is nothing of the sort. $2.57 trillion is far from
being a lean budget.
Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan's testimony in front of Congress in support of
President Bush's Social Security accounts was ignored by some of those in the
media. I wonder why? The
Media Research Center has a report.
Is John Negroponte a good choice to be the first National Intelligence
Director? Ralph
Peters says the choice is very promising.
Fox News' Susan Estrich and the LA Times' (and former Crossfire host) Michael
Kinsley
are battling it out in public over the lack of women writers on the
editorial page. This one is fun to watch.
Vladimir Putin seems to be running off the democracy rails in Russia, so what is
the United States to do?
James M. Goldgeier & Michael McFaul have some advice for President Bush.
Good news for "progressive thinkers" (leftist windbags.) Clear
Channel is adopting liberal programming. They're going to have to be
careful....falling asleep while driving is not considered safe.
A school district in Ohio is
being sued by some parents because a teacher made their kid spray himself with
Lysol in front of the class. The reason? Because the kid
smelled...as in...BO. Perhaps the Lysol treatment is a bit extreme, but
what is the teacher supposed to do? Hose him down? Still adding a few of your embarrassing
hot air stories here. Our friends the flaggots show just how
badly they suck at the PhotoShop. Ladies, worried that your wardrobe isn't pleasing to God? Exorcise Satan from
your closet and fill it with Modest
Apparel. |
