 RUN, DICK! RUN!
 The Hag is at it again.
Anyone who has watched
White House press conferences with any regularity for the last 150 years knows
who Helen Thomas is. Formerly of United Press International, and now a
syndicated columnist, she's been covering the White House since the Lincoln
administration (actually, JFK..but it seems like forever.)
Anyway, in recent years,
Helen Thomas has been putting on her tinfoil hat and conducting her Bush-bashing
tirades from the White House briefing room and
in her columns. Tiring of her
act, George W. Bush decided in 2003 to make a few changes. He moved Thomas from
the front row of the press corps to the back. Helen didn't like this very
much. Already a leftist Bush-hater, she cranked up the rhetoric even more. Now
today we get word that she's finally lost her mind.
A Washington newspaper is
reporting that Helen Thomas said
she would kill herself if Vice President Dick
Cheney ran for president. Here's the quote:
"The day Dick Cheney is
going to run for president, I'll kill myself. All we need is one more liar. I
think he'd like to run, but it would be a sad day for the country if he does."
No it wouldn't, sweetie. Not if you whacked your sorry self.
First of all, a couple of
things. Dick Cheney is not going to run for president. He has this abundantly
clear. Once his term is up in January 2009, he's out of there. No more
politics. So he's not running and doesn't want to run. This is just another of
Helen's straw man arguments, although one she is using to threaten to kill
herself. Read into that what you will.
Then there's the snide
"liar" remark. This refers to the leftist fantasy that "Bush lied" about the
war in Iraq. Unable to produce a single shred of evidence that any such lie
exists, Democrats like Thomas just repeat the accusation over and over again,
hoping one day it will come true.
Typical Helen Thomas
rant...but moderately entertaining. Hey ... Helen. If
you do it, make it pay-per-view, with the proceeds going to some suicide
prevention organization. I'll watch. There's a fine line between
fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot.

MUSLIMS CONDEMN TERROR...OR DO THEY?
Good news yesterday.
Muslims finally publicly condemned terrorism. Islamic scholars in the U.S. and
Canada issued a "fatwa" (an Islamic ruling, for you government school types)
stating that targeting innocent people is forbidden and that those who commit
such acts of violence are criminals, rather than martyrs. American Muslim
leaders say they're frustrated that many equate the Islamic faith with
terrorism.
So this seems to be a bit
of good news. But wait! If you actually start to look at the messenger, you
begin to realize that all is not as it seems. As a number of bloggers noticed,
the press conference announcing the Fatwa was organized by CAIR, The Council on
American Islamic Relations. The group making the announcement was something
called the Fiqh Council of North America (FCNA.) Here's just a sampling of some
of the people affiliated with these groups, and their ties to terrorism:
--Taha Jaber Al-Alwani,
Chairman of the FCNA, named in court papers as being associated with Islamic
Jihad, the Palestinian terror group.
--Sheikh Muhammad al-Hanooti
(such long names aren't they?,) who serves on the Fiqh council, has in the past
called for jihad against the United States and Great Britain. Among his
greatest hits: "Allah, the curse of Allah will become true on the infidel Jews
and on the tyrannical Americans."
As for CAIR --- this crowd
has repeatedly covered for the Islamic terror groups Hamas and Islamic
Jihad. They have called the War On Terror a "War Against Islam."
So just in case anybody is
getting all warm in fuzzy inside about American Muslim groups finally condemning
terrorism, you'll have to consider the source on this one. Good sign? Yes
... let's see if the follow-through is there, or if this is just a PR response
to increasing anger toward the wonderful, peaceful religion of Islam. When
they turn in a few Al Qaeda cells operating in the United States perhaps I'll
start to believe them.
TEDDY KENNEDY ON NOMINEES
 Among the great mysteries
of our time include how they constructed the pyramids in Egypt, whether or not
there is intelligent life on other planets and just how in the hell Edward M.
'Teddy' Kennedy has been elected and re-elected to the United States Senate by
the voters of Massachusetts for 43 years running. At any rate, back to the
present....Ted Kennedy is on the Senate Judiciary Committee that will be
considering the nomination of George Bush's Supreme Court nominee John Roberts.
Kennedy has said that
Roberts will be expected to answer questions about how he might rule on certain
cases before the court. This includes areas of liberal concern like affirmative
action, abortion and other hot button topics. It's become the rallying cry of
the leftists on the committee like Kennedy, Dick Durbin and Chuck Schumer.
Roberts will have to answer.
But it seems Kennedy was
singing a different tune back when it was a liberal nominee by a Democratic
president. Speaking in 1967 about Thurgood Marshall's confirmation hearings,
Kennedy had this to say:
"We have to respect that
any nominee to the Supreme Court would have to defer any comments on any
matters, which are either before the court or very likely to be before the
court. This has been a procedure which has been followed in the past and is one
which I think is based upon sound legal precedent."
Of course, it's only sound
legal precedent if it's a Democrat making the nomination. Neal is being nice today.
One of the girls in the programming department will be celebrating her birthday
soon. So, I told her that she could post a link to a dog rescue, Second Chance
Animal Rescue Group, where she adopted her wonderful rottie from. She would like
those of you in Atlanta to check it out if you are looking for a new best
friend. Or, maybe you would just like to make a donation to a great cause!
Thanks for the help! www.secondchancedogs.org.> REDNECK SCRAP BOOK If you have a drill or even some sort of sharp, pointy object you can
avoid paying a locksmith to
fix your lock. Yep, there's no end in sight for the
Redneck Scrap Book. READING
ASSIGNMENTS
Here's some nice reading material
about the shady characters that run the FCNA and CAIR, the two Islamic
organizations
that supposedly are denouncing terrorism.
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is breaking
with the Bush administration over federal funding for stem cell research. The
media will no doubt play this up.
The fight for John
Roberts' confirmation is gearing up. Will he be confirmed?
David Limbaugh says probably so...even
the Democrats can't stand in the way of this one.
Resident Bush-basher and
conspiracy nut film director Oliver Stone is planning a movie about 9/11.
More nonsense from another unhinged Hollywood leftist.
According to Forbes
magazine,
Condoleezza Rice is the most powerful woman in the world.
If she were a liberal, the rest of the media would agree. Otherwise, Oprah
heads their list.
People would be outraged
is a feeble 85-year-old were permitted to be a commercial airline pilot, writes
Jeff Jacoby.
Why on Earth then do we let people who are obviously in a declining state
remain on the Supreme Court?
Peter Arnett, former CNN
reporter, still is a huge fan of Saddam Hussein.
The Media Research Center reports.
Oliver North has something to say about
Jane Fonda's tour of the United States in her vegetable oil-powered bus.
During the presidential
campaign, The Poodle and the Democrats said North Korea was more of a threat
than Iraq.
Mona Charen says it's funny...we haven't heard much about it since.
Great Britain has a problem.
Charles Krauthammer reports that a large portion
of the UK's Muslim population is siding with the July 7 bombers. Looks like CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations
has
managed to get a talk show host thrown off the air because of his comments
on Islam. Thus far we aren't aware of CAIR trying to have any Imams
removed from their Mosques because of their comments about infidels or the
United States. Dog vs Porcupine. I think the
porcupine won this one... Heather's Reading Assignments The suicide
bombers don't eat pork or kill pigs, right? Well, someone from University of
Tennessee has come up with a diversion from having their car bombed.
Would you like bacon on that? I rode
Marta for the first time last weekend. There were mice. Personally, I don't
think I would WANT to eat in a metro station, but all she had was a fry and that
was 5 years ago.
Judge Roberts upheld Metro's policies saying that neither the
4th or 5th amendments were being violated. I'm a
practicing Christian too, but should you really rub someone else's nose in it?
I'm not a supporter of Islam at all, but this just might go
too far. The people of his church can believe this
all they want within their church, this hinges on straight-up-rude.
Sunni Muslim joining the Marine Corps
, it may not be too late for them. The discipline and
tradition mirror his beliefs, says Rahman. Hey, whatever straightens them out,
but how do we know who we are to trust? His mosque won't even let him go inside. This just
frustrates the mess out of me!
So the piece of the shuttle that fell off may have hit the
wing. Now, why couldn't they have taken the delay
and launch in September they could repair this thing? |
