LITE NOTES Neal apologizes for the Nuze-lite today. He had to run off this morning and
give a speech. We've pulled together a few things to keep you busy.  WHO
IS THE #1 TERRORIST?
 If
someone were to ask you who the #1 terrorist in the world was, you would no
doubt immediately answer "Osama Bin Laden." Your reasoning for that
response would be simple: Bin Laden is directly responsible for the death of
innocent people around the world, is an Islamic terrorist and is the most wanted
man on planet Earth.
That is, unless you were one of the 12,000 people that marched through the
streets of the German city of Mainz yesterday. You see, they were protesting
the visit by President George W. Bush. They were carrying signs, that said,
among other things (you guessed it) "#1 Terrorist."
Assuming that since George Bush is not very popular in Germany, it would be safe
to say that this opinion is shared by a large number of the German people. For
example, check out this quote from 49-year-old Thomas Odenweller: "I'm
disgusted by the war in Iraq Bush started that has cost thousands of civilian
lives. Now he's trying to normalize relations with Europe. It must be
stopped." No word if Mr. Odenweller was similarly disgusted by the hundreds
of thousands of people Saddam Hussein murdered in a campaign of genocide.
It is one thing to disagree with the administration's policy, but to call George
Bush a terrorist means you are forecasting to the entire world that your IQ
matches your shoe size. Incidentally, in his first term alone, President Bush
has freed over 50 million Muslims from Saddam Hussein and the hate-filled
Islamic ideology of the Taliban.
Perhaps Germany is still bitter over their defeat in World War II.
YOUR
TAX DOLLARS AT WORK
Another exciting story about how they do things at your friendly neighborhood
government school. This story comes to us from Liberty Middle School in Orlando,
Florida, and involves one seventh-grade kid named Robert Gomez.
Gomez has been suspended from school for 10 days, and is well on his way to
being expelled...meaning, kicked out of school for good. So what did he do to
merit such a punishment? He tossed a rubber band on the desk of a school
teacher. Here's how it went down.
The kid found a rubber band on the floor, picked it up and slipped it on his
wrist. The science teacher demanded the rubber band (no rubber bands allowed in
science class, you know) and so the kid either tossed the rubber band onto the
desk, or shot it toward the science teacher, depending on which version you
believe.
Now, don't get me wrong...if the kid broke the rules, shot the rubber band
toward the teacher, or didn't follow directions...punishment is definitely in
order. Perhaps a little detention. Some extra homework. Whatever.
But you see, in the world of government schools, actions are not judged on a
case-by-case basis. That would require some intelligence and actual thought. So
the brains at Liberty Middle School, led by the principal, Ms. Elisha Gonzalez-Bonnewitz,
have decided that the rubber band incident constitutes what they're calling a
'Level 4 offense.' This is the most severe level...other violations that receive
the same punishment include arson, assault and battery and bomb threats...and
now apparently rubber bands too.
So tossing a rubber band is the same thing as burning down the school, or
slugging the teacher. Nice going, Liberty Middle School.
READING ASSIGNMENTS
The left has now declared war on the bloggers, and
Ann Coulter says it's getting a little bit ridiculous. She specifically
takes a look at the Jeff Gannon affair.
With the media obsession over the declining dollar, it has long been speculated
that Asian countries with large dollar reserves would begin selling them off. Turns
out they're not going to. Just think - all that doom and gloom for
nothing.
Fake Indian and Al-Qaeda supporter Ward Churchill now
admits he isn't really a Native American. Well, actually he says he's
less than 1/4th Indian. Apparently that won't get you on the reservation
these days.
The Bush-bashing media is trying to create more controversy where there is none:
this
time over the president's uncle selling some stock in a defense contractor.
'60 Minutes' is at it again. This time, as
Larry Elder points out, they've run a piece on black/white adoptions.
Amazingly, CBS used the story to bash the United States of America. Read
on.
What do Ward Churchill and George Soros have in common? Joel
Mowbray does a little poking around and finds out 'ole wacky Ward has quite
a money trail.
Violent crime is down in Chicago, and George
Will takes a look at the man leading the charge. By the way, did you
know that Baghdad is about the size of Chicago?
Professor
Mike Adams runs through a list of subjects that high school students should
be taught before they go off to college. He does so as his alter-ego Dr.
Obvious.
Social Security isn't in crisis, it's a disaster that should have never been
brought into existence. Mark
Alexander says FDR had the founding fathers rolling over in their graves with
that one.
PBS and the New York Times are now concerned that the publicly-funded TV network
is only 'slightly' liberal. Brent
Bozell says that's a joke, and says taxpayers should stop footing the bill
for the propaganda. You'd best not play in the Dubai Tennis Championships if you're afraid
of heights. I sure hope we don't break this site, but I can't resist sharing...Baby
