ONE MORE DAY AT THE AFLAC CANCER CENTER

Once again today The Neal Boortz Show will be broadcasting live from the Aflac Cancer Center at Children's Hospital in Atlanta. This is the second day of our sixth annual Care-a-Thon raising money for these brave children suffering from childhood cancer and their incredible families.

An update ... as of yesterday the bid on my 1925 Chevy Superior was up to $31,000. I know we can get a lot more for this beauty. I went to Carl Black of Roswell yesterday afternoon and drove the Chevy around for a bit. What a hoot! Here are some pictures from that visit. I can't describe how beautiful this car is. I'm telling you, if I were a Chevrolet dealer somewhere I would pay big bucks to have this Chevy sitting on my showroom floor .. and get a good tax deduction in the process!

Let's see how high we can get the bid on this incredible antique car. Call 1-888-750-2772 to bid or make a donation.

Neal will tell you all about this on the show today and give you a chance to bid on it

EXCELLENT ANALOGY

Dag nab it. I cut-and-pasted this from an article, an email, or from somewhere on the Internet yesterday ... and for the life of me I can't remember this morning who I should give the credit to!

At any rate ... Its an analogy ... a simple analogy that describes the futility of negotiating peace with Islamic fascists. Here it is ... if you can't figure it out, thank your government school teacher:

WHY THE DEMOCRATS ARE SITTING THIS ONE OUT

It should be clear that the Democrat Party simply does not want to be engaged in the war against Islamic fascism. The Democrat Party is clearly becoming the Democrat-Appeasement Party. Good for the Islamic murderers. Bad for us.

Why, though, do the Democrats find it so terribly difficult -- almost impossible -- to even so much as admit that we are actually in a hot, shooting war with Islamic fascism? They simply view this as something that can be settled if we just sit down, be nice, and talk a lot.

Noodle it out. It's all about power. Political power. Regaining power and then retaining it.

Democrats know that the voting public views the Republicans as more likely to act to defend our country when we are under threat. The trick, then, is to make sure that the voters don't feel we're under a threat. Democrats know that if the voters come to understand that there is a grave threat to the security of the American people -- a threat, for instance, from Iran's nuclear program, and from Islamic radicals around the world -- then these voters are not going to be likely to vote for a party that they view as weak on defending America.

Democrats like John Kerry are trying to convince the people that Islamic terrorism is no more than a simple law enforcement problem. Find them. Arrest them. Try them. Jail them. Oh, and by the way, make sure they get their full plate of Constitutional rights in the process ... even though they most certainly aren't entitled to them.

Listen to these appeasers! "The war in Iraq is wrong." "We need to talk to Iran." "We need to make Israel stop killing all those innocent civilians."

Listen, friends. There is no "war in Iraq." There is no "War in Afghanistan." There's the Iraq front and the Afghan front in the world-wide war against Islamic fascism. Instinctively, you know this.

That's what scares the Democrat-Appeasement party so much.

IN THIS ELECTION, IT'S EASY TO FIGURE OUT WHO NOT TO VOTE FOR

This is for my friends in my second home of Naples, Florida.

It seems you have a little school board election coming up, right? Several seats on the Collier County School Board are up for grabs in a September 5th Primary.

The Collier County teacher's unions have done you a real favor. They've pointed out who you should not vote for in District 5. They did this by endorsing one of the three candidates.

The Collier County teacher's union is endorsing Virginia Ortino. Why? Well ... she's a teacher, for one ... but she also parrots the typical teacher's union line about spending more money.

Studies have shown that the best "quick fix" to our government schools is to reduce the power of the teacher's unions. When you vote against the candidates endorsed by the teacher's unions you reduce their power.

How much more simple can we make this?

OK .. THAT'S IT FROM ME ...

Now I head to the AFLAC Cancer Center so I can visit with some of the kids before the show. I leave the rest of the notes up to my staff ... with a bit of guidance from me.

NAGIN TAKES A SHOT AT NEW YORK

• After 1 year and billions of dollars, New Orleans is still a mess.
   
• Nagin still has never been held to account for waiting until 24 hours before Katrina to evacuate his people.  This led to many deaths on the part of people who should be long gone.
   
• Nagin still has never been held to account for sending people to the convention center, despite knowing that they weren't prepared to handle it.
   
• And, he still has never been held to account for letting dozens of empty school buses sit idle....when those buses could have been used to evacuate people.

RACE-BASED SURVIVOR CAUSING CONTROVERSY

Things have been a little slow in the reality TV department lately.  The once white-hot segment of television shows has cooled.  That could have something to do with the fact that we now have 10,000 reality shows about everything you could possibly imagine.  This has also affected one of the original reality shows, 'Survivor' on CBS.

So, with ratings slowing...it was time to spice things up a bit.  The people at the show decided to do something different this year.  They're going to start the show out with 4 teams:  an Asian team, a white team, a black team and a Latino one.  That should really get people watching.  But not everybody is happy with this.

Officials in New York City, of all places, want the show pulled.  According to City Councilman John Liu, "The idea of having a battle of the races is preposterous.  How could anybody be so desperate for ratings?"  CBS says they recognize the show will be controversial.  Of course, they know exactly what they're doing.

I have no problem with the Survivor format. There is nothing in the world wrong with ethnic pride .. and this is all about ethnic pride. However ... if you're handicapping this show, a few suggestions:

• If survival depends on math skills ... bet on the Asians.
   
• If survival depends on the ability to withstand cold temperatures ... bet on the white guys.
   
• If survival depends on a strong work ethic ... go with the Hispanics.
   
• If survival depends on outrunning something that wants to eat you ... bet on the black team.

So there you have it...your own personal 'Survivor' viewing guide!

CAIR HAS A SPECIAL GUEST

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

Remember the Duke rape case?  This is the one where a bunch of Duke University lacrosse players supposedly raped that stripper?  Well, the files from that case have been released...and don't say a whole lot.  Looks like the D.A. may have been had on this one.

The State Department is in an uproar over Israel's use of American-made bombs to bomb Hezbollah in Lebanon.  Evidently we have some sort of secret agreement that prevents this.  Who cares....they're the good guys.  We should be happy Israel is using our gear to blow up Islamic terrorists.

Evidently some bus driver down in Louisiana still thinks this is 1955 when it comes to race relations.  Nine black children were ordered to the back of the bus by the driver, who said the front seats were for white children.  The NAACP is thinking about demanding a formal probe by the Department of Justice.  How about just firing the bus driver and moving on?

Today we would like to give an honorable mention to Lake County, Indiana Criminal Court Judge Diane Boswell.  She detained 5 people for ringing cell phones and fined one person $100 who admitted theirs went off.  Perhaps people will finally get the message.  Now we just need movie theaters to enact the same policy.

Certain Republicans are starting to get off the Operation Iraqi Freedom bus, one by one.  Connecticut Republican Congressman Christopher Shays says we can't stay in Iraq forever and it's time for an exit plan.  Expect more of this as the election draws nearer.

Charles Krauthammer notes the current administration's policy seems to be taking on a more diplomatic tone.  But he points out that this isn't really helping things in the case of say, North Korea.  Krauthammer says once a nation goes nuclear, it's too late to prevent it.

Debra Saunders tells us about an outrageous case in which the Bush Administration is prosecuting two Border Patrol agents for shooting a drug smuggler.  Saunders says the message seems to be that if you do your job, you're going to prison.

If you have any doubts about who won the war in Lebanon, Michael Young will set you straight.  He says all you have to do is listen to the Syrian president to find out what really happened.

Today Thomas Sowell continues his series on race and economics...which was brought to light recently when Andrew Young made his comments about other groups ripping off black people. 

The grand prediction in this year's election is that the Democrats are headed for a big win.  But Mona Charen says we get that every year...and it seldom turns out to be right.
