HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SOME OF THE BEST MEN AND WOMEN ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH!

FED UP --- I'M MAKING THE SWITCH .... TO FOX.

I've mentioned many times that I generally watch CNN in the mornings while I'm preparing for my program.  Fox News Channel is definitely my first choice throughout the rest of the day, but that morning coffee-klatch "Fox & Friends" bit is just too much for me to stomach.  Until now.

My first 30 minutes of watching the morning news is generally spent in the workout room.  That would be the first 30 Minutes of CNN's "Daybreak" with Carol Costello.  During that first thirty minutes of CNN watching this morning I saw the following:

1.  They ran a story saying that House Republicans had "abandoned" its plans to push for drilling in ANWR.  During that report CNN showed video of Alaska that most definitely was NOT taped in Section 1002 of ANWR.  Snow-capped mountains, rolling grasslands with rushing streams .. this is not ANWR Section 1002.  They even ran video of tourists enjoying a white-water rafting trip.  This is not ANWR Section 1002 ... so why did CNN run these videos?  Simple .. because they know that only a very small percentage of Americans realize that the portion of ANWR which has been specifically set aside for oil exploration, known as Section 1002, is not what you would call picturesque.  In the winter it resembles a frozen-over Wal-Mart parking lot.  Capitalizing on this ignorance CNN tries to put forth the image that exploration in Section 1002 would ravage beautiful countryside and interrupt tourist rafting trips.

2.  Then CNN runs a story from Paris.  Almost 485 cars were torched last night in the City of Lights.  The CNN reporter told us that the violence was being caused by "disadvantaged youth who have been rioting."  Not one single time in the entire report did CNN mention that these rioters were Muslim.  Why?  Well, maybe it's just political correctness.  Then again, maybe their goal is to soften any language that might alert Americans to the fact that the Islamic radicals are still out there, and that they are, in fact, making some rather astounding headway in their efforts to bring the Western world to its knees under Islamic culture and law.

3.  Plus, we have the continuing CNN coverage of what they would most certainly like us to believe is a huge scandal over oil company profits.  Again, not once did any CNN expert or reporter make any mention of oil company profit margins or price-to-earnings ratios.  Instead, they just made references to "windfall" profits.  In addition, their entire coverage during that first report centered on what the oil company executives were making.  Nothing about supply and demand.  Not one segment that could be construed as informational as to how the free enterprise system works.  Just "windfall" profits and evil oil executives making tons of money (but still less than Oprah makes).

So ... as soon as I got off the ellipse machine and took my shower, I walked into my office and put on Fox & Friends.  I'm going to give them a try for a few days.  Giggly sometimes?  Perhaps so.  But maybe they won't make the leftist agenda quite so obvious.

MORE ISLAMIC MURDER

If you flip on the television today, you will be greeted by report after report about the Muslim homicide bombings in Jordan that insinuates that our policy in Iraq is solely to blame.  If we hadn't deposed Saddam Hussein all would be sweetness, sunshine, blue skies and green lights throughout the Middle East.  Two goals at work here:

1.) To inoculate and excuse the Muslim murderers of any and all responsibility for their actions.  Hell ... let's not even call them Muslims!  You see this at work in France too.  All those riots there are because France just hasn't assimilated those poor "disadvantaged" youths. 

2.) Carrying it a step further ... It's George W. Bush's fault.  Remember, anytime a Muslim anywhere in the world takes the life of another human being, it's Bush's fault...you know, because we're in Iraq.

Also, notice the entry of  Richard Clarke into the coverage.  According to Saint Richard, all of these attacks are happening at the behest of Al-Qaeda....due to our presence in Iraq.  So the media laps it up...convinced that hey...if we would just stop making them mad, they would stop killing innocent people.  Remember, offending a Muslim is a crime punishable by death.

Never mind the fact that these attacks have nothing to do with Iraq...the Islamic murderers that pulled the rip cord under their vests and took the proverbial eternal celestial desert sand nap did so not because of Iraq, but because they hate all non-believers.  To the fundamentalist Muslims, if you do not worship Allah, you must be either converted, subjugated or killed.

Oh...and we weren't in Iraq on September 11, 2001...yet the Islamic terrorists still struck.  What was their excuse then?

SO MUCH FOR DRILLING IN ANWR

Yesterday, the House Republicans caved in and got the measure erased from a budget bill that would allow drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska, also known as ANWR.  Despite the fact that the area where they would drill was designated for such activity and despite the Senate passing a similar measure....drilling in ANWR is dead .... for now.

The move against new drilling was led by leftist Congressman Charles Bass of New Hampshire.  Said the "moderate" Republican:  "Rather then reversing decades of protection for this publicly held land, focusing greater attention on renewable energy sources, alternate fuels, and more efficient systems and appliances would yield more net energy savings than could come from ANWR and would have a higher benefit on the nation's long-term economic leadership and security."  Sounds like somebody faxed Howard Dean's talking points to Representative Bass' office by mistake.

On the one hand, politicians sit on their committees grilling oil executives about their profits and the high price of gasoline, yet when it comes time to actually doing something about it, like drilling for more oil...they stand in the way.

So the next time you fill your tank, remember it is the government keeping the price high, not oil companies.

More people are starting to notice that the rioters in France are overwhelmingly Muslim....but you're not allowed to say it.  David Sands and Sharon Behn have more.

Joel Mowbray agrees ... the media just won't identify the rioters in Paris for who they really are.  Muslims.
