 CAN YOU HELP US OUT
 This morning you may have taken your child to
school.
No ... I'm not going to get into a diatribe about government vs. private
education here. I just want to point out that this morning you sent a
perfectly healthy child off to school. That's great. This morning I'll be seeing a lot of parents who couldn't take their
children to school. Instead, they took them to the hospital for treatment
... for cancer. Today I will be broadcasting from the Aflac Cancer Center at Children's
Hospital in Atlanta. I'll be in the midst of some of the bravest parents
and children I've ever known. These brave children are fighting various
forms of childhood cancer and blood disorders. It's truly a privilege to be
there today and tomorrow to try to help. For (I believe) the fifth year in a row my flagship radio station,
Atlanta's News Talk 750 WSB, will be broadcasting our annual Care-a-Thon
from the Aflac Cancer Center. The program will sound pretty much the same
as always ... but there will be moments where we'll talk to some of these
parents and children to learn more about their story. Can you help? Would you mind digging into your pocket and donate a few
dollars to help the Aflac Cancer Center along?
Here's a link for an online donation form. Also ... as you listen to me
talking to some of these children you can learn more about them by clicking
on the same link. Thanks so much. See more pictures of us broadcasting from the Aflac Cancer Center at
Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. AND YOU CAN BID ON MY 1925 CHEVROLET CABRIOLET!  When I recently leased my new BMW
645 Ci from
one
of my sponsor, United BMW Gwinnett. I was faced with the need to get rid
of a car. There are only so many parking spaces you know. So ... I have
donated
my 1925 Chevrolet Cabriolet to be auctioned off during our broadcast
Care-a-Thon. I had another auto restoration specialist working on the car
(as you can see) when he unfortunately passed away. The good folks at Carl
Black of Roswell took over the restoration and have done a spectacular job.
Today this car will be on display in the main showroom of
Carl Black Pontiac Buick GMC Hummer of Roswell. The restoration
has just been completed ...
see the pictures here.
This car will be auctioned off tomorrow. We'll give you the details on
how the auction will be conducted in tomorrow's Nuze and on the air. Every
single penny raised from the auction of this car will go to the Aflac Cancer
Center. Not one penny for me, not one penny for Carl Black. If you want to
learn more I'll have a Carl Black representative on the air for a few
minutes today describing the restoration process and just how great this
wonderful antique Chevy will look in your garage. NOW ... TURNING THINGS OVER TO MY TRUSTY STAFF No time for notes. I have to head to the hospital for today's
broadcast. So ... Bryan, Belinda and Laura will take over from here. AIRLINE PASSENGERS TAKING CONTROL
Since it has become apparent that governments around the world aren't really
going to do anything about the threat posed on airplanes by Islamic
terrorism, the airline passengers have taken control of things. Sadly, the
TSA (and its counterparts all over the globe) don't want to engage in racial
profiling.
But the people who have to fly on these airplanes...that put their lives on
the line and actually want to live until they reach their next destination,
are beginning to take action. Two recent incidents illustrate this
perfectly. The first involves a situation that took place on a flight last
week from Spain to the UK.
Two Muslim students were acting in a suspicious manner. The news coverage
doesn't say exactly what they were doing, but it was enough to bother the
passengers...and that's when it started. Some of the passengers informed
the flight crew of what was taken place, then a bunch of the passengers
stormed off the plane.
The suspicious fliers were removed from the plane at
gunpoint and the flight was on its way. The kids turned out to be clean,
but who cares. Since nearly every airplane hijacker in the last 30 years
has been an Arab Muslim, these passengers were simply playing the odds.
The second case involves something that took place yesterday. A Northwest
flight from Amsterdam to India was escorted back to the airport by Dutch
F-16's and
12 passengers were arrested for suspicious behavior. These
passengers were of Middle Eastern origin and were passing around a cell
phone on the plane, something that's not allowed. The other fliers weren't
having it, so the plane was sent back and those in question were marched off
by air marshals.
The message from government regarding airline security has been clear:
because of political correctness, they are not going to do anything to
prevent a repeat of 9/11. It's nice to see the passengers taking the
matters into their own hands.
HERE COMES JESSE JACKSON
 Whenever there's trouble in the world...whenever you have a problem, and no
one else can help...maybe you can hire...The Sloganmaster. That's right,
Jesse Jackson has announced that he is
putting together a delegation of
religious figures and heading to the Middle East. His plan: extending the
cease-fire in Lebanon (yawn,) arranging humanitarian aid (nothing wrong with
that) and looking into a number of hostages situations, including Fox News'
Steve Centanni and his camera man. (Now we're getting somewhere.)
This is where Jesse Jackson actually proves himself useful. For whatever
reason, despite his career as a race warlord, Jesse has been very good at
convincing third world dictators to give up hostages. He got a Navy pilot
out of Syria in 1984. Americans out of Cuba that same year. He got
Milosevic to let 3 Americans go in 1999. The bottom line is, when it comes
to cutting these hostages loose, Jesse's pretty good at it.
Now if only he could apply the same logic, compassion and intelligence he
has in these situations to his efforts in the United States. Perhaps then
Jesse Jackson would be more than just another race pimp with a rent-a-mob.
Because when it comes to this, he is a master negotiator.
RUDY SAYS WHAT EVERYONE'S THINKING
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, the current favorite for the 2008
Republican nomination because he could beat Hillary, has finally said what
everyone in the GOP has been thinking. And that is that
they want Hillary
Clinton to win the 2008 Democratic nomination and run for president. In
fact, not only do they want it...they're hoping for it.
The reason: because there is nothing better for fundraising, for getting out
the vote and for stirring up the base than mentioning the very idea that
Hillary Rodham Clinton could become our new Commander-In-Chief. In fact,
Rudy called it perfectly. He says Mrs. Clinton has the distinction of being
the best fundraiser for both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party.
Imagine the campaign commercials....speeches The Hildabeast has given over
the years to radical leftist organizations, being featured prominently.
Some of the things she's said in the past...printed right on campaign
literature. Republicans couldn't buy better advertising than that. A
Hillary candidacy is the greatest gift the Republican Party will have been
given since Walter Mondale in 1984.
But the Democrats are already sold on the idea. Perhaps they'll wise up
between now and then.
THE GOVERNMENT OUTRAGE OF THE DAY
Today's outrage comes to us courtesy of the federal government. In
particular, the Medicare program. For those of you miseducated in
government schools, that's the government health insurance program for
people over 65. It comes out of your check every pay period...under the
secret code name of "FICA." Our conservative Republican President George W.
Bush expanded that program by what will wind up costing a trillion dollars.
It was called the prescription drug benefit for Medicare.
But anyway, today we're just talking about $50 million dollars. Think about
how much money that is. Now imagine taking $50 million dollars and throwing
it down a rathole....or setting in on fire. Running it through the paper
shredder. Blowing it at the race track. But that's just what "The Centers
for Medicare and Medicaid Services " did.
You see, these brilliant folks sent out 231,000 checks for $215 each to
Medicare recipients to reimburse them for their glorious prescription drug
coverage. I'm not going to bore you with how it happened....but it was a
mistake. Those
231,000 people weren't supposed to get the 215 bucks. So
now the government wants it back.
Doesn't sound like much, does it? But a $215 mistake 231,000 times comes to
fifty million dollars. Money the government will never see again, most
likely. After all, if you get a check from the feds, you spend it, right?
Just remember: this is what we have to look forward to if we ever wind up
with socialized medicine in this country. You think your HMO is bad? Just
wait.
WOW, DO YOU THINK I SAID SOMETHING TO MAKE THIS PERSON MAD? Subject: you are a buffoon

Message:
you are a craven jackal and A buffoon of the first order. I pray
that you die in a flaming plane crash and your wife and daughter
with you. You cur and scoundrel, I pray that you die in another
Hurricane katrina. One day, you'll be in the same position as
the black and poor of New orleans were. I know exactly how
you'll act: like a whore. You sodomite swine. |
So ... now that Kahan has that off his chest, we'll just move right along
here .............. REDNECK SCRAP BOOK I don't think you need to be a redneck to appreciate the kind of
fun you could have with these
balloons. More in the Redneck Scrap Book.
READING ASSIGNMENTS
Some top Republicans are concerned that
the threat being posed by Iran is being downplayed. They're right...imagine
what's going to happen once Iran gets their hands on a nuclear bomb....and sells
that bomb to a terrorist organization like Al-Qaeda.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary
Michael Chertoff has really drunk the Kool-Aid on this one. He says the
administration has ended its catch-and-release program for illegal aliens.
Finally, the ones they catch will be sent back home. He says the policy has a
deterrent effect on illegal immigration. Yeah right.
You may have heard that the IRS is turning over taxpayers' information to
private collectors, in an attempt to collect past debts.
But now the IRS is warning against phony debt collectors. Here comes the
abuse!
Remember those scary-looking dudes that snatched Elian Gonzalez from his
relatives' house in Miami and sent him back to Cuba? Well,
those same elite SWAT teams may be sent to the Mexican border to help with
the problem of illegal aliens. Excellent...it's about time.
The Anti-Defamation League isn't taking Amnesty International's Israel-bashing
lying down.
ADL National Director Abraham Foxman called the group's comments "bigoted,
biased and borderline anti- Semitic." It's about time somebody started calling
Amnesty on its political agenda.
With all that's gone on recently,
Victor Davis Hanson reviews what we know and have learned about Islamic
terrorists. First, he says, they are obsessed with death. Second, Hanson
lets out the dirty little secret: oil money is the engine that drives radical
Islam. Don't miss this one.
The Democratic Party claims to be in favor of the War On Terror, but against the
war in Iraq.
Ann Coulter calls them on it, saying you can't be for one or the other. The
battle in Iraq is part of the War On Terror, but Democrats are doing their best
to trick people into believing it isn't.
Andrew Young's comments about Jewish people, Koreans and Arabs got him fired
from Wal-Mart, but
Thomas Sowell says the effect of these comments goes far beyond Young and the
fallout. He says it exposes decades of economic ignorance. Read on.
Israel went into Lebanon and took on Hezbollah, then gave up when the going got
rough.
Columnist Max Boot says that for its next battle, Israel should march into Syria
and clean house. He favors pre-emptive war, rather than waiting for
something bad to happen first.
Republicans in Washington are on the ropes. Democrats might even take control
of things this fall. But as disgusted as some people may be with the process,
Larry Elder asks the question: do you really want the Democrats in charge? If your major is evolutionary biology, you're
automatically disqualified from receiving federal grant money. An
inadvertent omission, or....? |
