OK. IT'S DONE

At around 7:45 on Saturday morning, December 16th, I hit the "send" button on my Outlook Express and sent a document entitled "final draft" to my editors at Harper Collins. "Somebody's Gotta Say It" is now in the can. The final editing process is underway .. that's where they get rid of all those grammatical errors that drive you folks so nuts in the Nuze all the time.

And no ... I'm not going to hire an editor for the Nuze.

What do I think of my efforts? Frankly, I never like anything that I write. I'm my own worst critic. Others who have read some of the chapters are very complimentary. But what the hell do they know? Ditto for the radio show. I just can't tell you how difficult it is for me to listen to myself on the radio.

OK ..wise asses. I know what you're going to do now, so let me help you out. Just cut and paste this into your email to me:

"You think it's difficult for YOU to listen to your show? Well, you ought to try it from OUR end. We know exactly how you feel!"

Now that you have that out of your system, let me just say that I truly hope you enjoy it. It's just basically some red meat mixed in with a little fun. Publication date is Tuesday, February 20th. The book tour starts immediately thereafter!

AND THE RACE IS ON - THE NAG STRAINS FOR THE LEAD

It's time for the supremely calculating Hillary Rodham to cease her effort to appear to the voters as a reasoned middle of the road politician. It's now time to appeal to the moonbat fringe of the Democrat Party. Hillary took a step in that direction saying that most certainly wouldn't have voted for the Iraqi front of the War on Islamic Fascism (though she called it the "war in Iraq") if she had "know what I know now."

How easy is that! Now she's officially on the anti-war side, all cuddly with the "Saddam didn't have any WMDs" crowd, conveniently forgetting that it was her "husband's" administration that adopted the policy that Saddam Hussein must be removed from power in Iraq.

Hillary is also now working to distance herself from her socialist roots. Remember, her own professor at Yale identified her as a socialist. Well, Hillary Rodham isn't the only socialist running for the presidency of a major western nation. France has Segolene Royal. Royal, a regional leader of France's Socialist Party wanted to firm up her credentials by meeting with her counterpart in the U.S. Hillary said no. Smart move, Hillary. There's plenty of time for you to chum up to your socialist pals once you're elected, right?

Don't forget....for Hillary to become the Democratic nominee in 2008 for president, she will have to get through the Democratic primaries. She will have to beat the liberal President Obama. Democratic primary voters are hardcore Leftists. We're about to see the real Hillary Clinton.

THE CHURCH OF GLOBAL WARMING

It would seem appropriate as we are about to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ that we highlight another up and coming religion: Global Warming. Never forget that global warming is not a science, it is not a political position. Global warming is a religion....people who believe in its existence can never be convinced otherwise.

Two senators have gotten into the act recently. The liberal Jay Rockefeller or West Virginia and the Republican in name only, the leftist Olympia Snowe. They wrote an open letter to the CEO of Exxon saying that his company should stop funding global warming skeptics. They referred to those who would question global warming as "deniers." You've heard that word before, right? That's right...from Holocaust deniers to global warming deniers. I guess the deaths of 6 million innocent people is now the same thing as global warming.

Anyway, this attracted the attention of a one Lord Monckton in England, a former adviser to Margaret Thatcher. He's calling out Snowe and Rockefeller, saying people who are skeptical of global warming are actually helping the cause: "Skeptics and those who have the courage to support them are actually helpful in getting the science right." Exactly...what's wrong with questioning the status quo?

But this does not sit well with the global warming fanatics...to them, global warming is real and capitalism is the problem. Never mind that the global temperature has only risen a year in the last 100 years. Never mind the fact that temperature records only go back so far. Never let the facts get in the way of a global warming argument.

DONALD RUMSFELD COMPARED TO HITLER

One of the hosts on the TV show 'The View' compared Donald Rumsfeld to Hitler.

Once again, the Left's template holds true...when they run out of something to say and can no longer criticize your viewpoint or argue with you effectively, they call you a Nazi. It never fails. Joy Behar is just the latest example of this.

She called him "Hitlerlike." This is most interesting. And just how is Donald Rumsfeld like Hitler? Was it because he actually freed millions of people from the brutal reign of Saddam Hussein, a dictator? Actually, Saddam is more like Hitler than Rumsfeld could ever be. Is it because of Rumsfeld's support for the War On Terror? Is it because of Gitmo?

Actually, who knows or cares. Just know that if you're debating a liberal...and they call you Hitler or compare you to a Nazi, you know you've won the argument. It's the equivalent of telling somebody they're stupid or making fun of their appearance. Total defeat. But the Left never passes up the chance to compare a Republican to Hitler, even if it is just a talking head on TV.

Will she apologize? Probably so. Interesting days ahead on "The View."

REDNECK SCRAP BOOK

It must be amusing to be a mail carrier in an area heavily populated by rednecks. More in the Redneck Scrap Book.

READING ASSIGNMENTS

Hillary Clinton is refusing to meet with a socialist candidate for president in France. Segolene Royal evidently wants to meet The Hildabeast and be seen with her, yet Hillary is turning her down. You would think they would be two peas in a pod, both being socialists and all. Guess not.

Marijuana is now officially the biggest cash crop in the United States. Doesn't look like that war on drugs is going too well, does it? How about we worry less about arresting people for drugs and more about actual drug treatment? Just a thought.

Poor Cynthia McKinney. She was booted in the Democratic primary this year and denied another term in the House of Representatives. Now a Republican politician wants to rename Cynthia McKinney Parkway. She just can't catch a break.

This really makes you wonder if President Bush is a conservative or not. Evidently the administration is willing to accept tax increases on higher income brackets, in an attempt to get along with Democrats. So what exactly is the difference between a Republican and a Democrat? Iraq?

The United States is warning that patience with North Korea is running out. Or else what? Are we actually going to do something to stop The Gargoyle's nuclear ambitions? Nope...it's the same old same old...more negotiation and no action.

So who is Pat Buchanan's 'Person Of The Year?' It's surely not Time's choice.....Pat is picking Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian tyrant who denies the Holocaust took place, supports terrorism and wants a nuclear bomb. Why him? Read on to find out.

Thomas Sowell opens up on the District Attorney prosecuting the Duke rape case. He doesn't hold back...and wonders just where the accused young men will go to get their reputation back.

Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney is considered a serious contender for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination. But is he really a conservative? Will he make it through the primaries? Byron York isn't so sure.

Professor Mike Adams is known for not accepting excuses from his students. In today's column, he publishes a letter he wrote back to one student, who was looking for leniency. As you may be guessing, he received none. Always entertaining.

What do the War On Terror and the Cold War have in common? David Limbaugh says that as it turns out, plenty. He says there are parallels between the two that people are missing....and he explains what they are.

Tom Cruise is producing a Scientology film? Wow! Can't wait!

Just added the last batch of alternate punishment suggestions for crybaby Olympic Park bomber, Eric Robert Rudolph. You people are scary.

The war on Christmas is in full swing. Don't believe it? The liberals even have a manual!
