TALIBAN TRIES TO ASSASSINATE CHENEY

The Taliban tried to blow up Dick Cheney today during a visit to a U.S. Military base in Afghanistan.  Depending on whom you ask, either 3 or 24 people were killed by the suicide bomber.  The war on Islamic terrorism continues.  Cheney is in the region to meet with he president of Pakistan...and tell him to crack down a bit harder on terrorists.

Cheney is on the warpath lately...and it's quite refreshing.  He's been taking on the media and the Democrats and not holding back.  He rightly called out Nancy Pelosi for her policies, which support Al-Qaeda's agenda.  When a controversy ensued...he didn't hold back.  He's been taking on the media, appearing on TV shows...complete unapologetic for the war in Iraq.  The question remains:  where has the administration been for the last two years?

Instead of letting the Left and the mainstream media define Iraq as a failure, which its not, they should have been out there swinging the bat...calling out Democrats for their pro-appeasement policies.  But, as the saying goes, better late than never.  Besides, it's not like Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid are ever going to come up with a better plan for Iraq anyway.

AL SHARPTON THURMOND CALLS FOR DNA TEST

Now Al Sharpton says he wants a DNA test to be sure he's really related to Strom Thurmond.  Perhaps they have more in common than they think....after all, Strom Thurmond once ran for president...as did Sharpton.  One thing's for sure, Al's enjoying the publicity.  So why a DNA test?  Maybe there's an inheritance involved.  The truth, of course, is that Sharpton is a publicity whore.  He's getting publicity with the demands, and who knows?  Maybe lightening will strike and Al the Liar will have something else to tout.

One thing's for sure, as the pre-eminent race hustler in America today, Sharpton is going to milk this one for all it's worth.  Sharpton looks pretty damned silly when compared to someone like Barack Obama.   If it does turn out that Sharpton is for sure related to Strom Thurmond, we can expect a book...appearances on TV shows...maybe even Oprah!  Maybe Al will get his own reality show.
 
Now Al just has to get a DNA sample.  Maybe he'll get invited to the Thurmond family reunion.

LET THE HYPOCRISY BEGIN

It has been discovered that Al Gore's Nashville-area mansion has 20 rooms, eight bathrooms and uses more electricity in one month than the average house uses in a year.  A group called the Tennessee Center For Policy Research has gotten its hands on some of Al's gas and electric bills for 2006, and it's not pretty.  I guess that's what you call "an inconvenient truth."  I suppose this falls underneath the category of do as I say, but not as I do.  Is there an Oscar for that?  Maybe Al Gore will win that one next year.

This has always been the problem when it comes to the holier-than-thou leftist environmentalists.  Al Gore will stand up there and tell you America is destroying the planet, thanks to greenhouse gases.  We're supposed to feel guilty for driving our cars, using too much electricity and the like.  And after he's done lecturing us all, Al gets onto his private jet, burns up the jet fuel back to Nashville where he goes back to his mansion.  But back to Al's energy bill.

It's also come out that on average in 2006, Al Gore paid $1,359 a month in electricity...twice in one month what that average household uses in a year.  And natural gas?  Gore used plenty of that, too...$1,080 a month, on average.  Remember ... for most of those months Al wasn't even there!  So what's the problem with all this?  Well, nothing really.

Al Gore is rich...he's entitled to buy his house and use as much electricity and natural gas as he can afford.  But so is everybody else.  So maybe the next time Gore gets up onto his soapbox and starts lecturing the public, somebody will call him out.  Maybe.

With all of the available media attention focused on who is running for president of the United States in 2008, Herman Cain changes the spotlight to the #2 spot on the ticket...the VP slot.  Who is going to wind up with the post?  Cain says we should keep our eye on the governor's office.

A major weapons cache has been found in Iraq.  A factory has been discovered which was used to make roadside bombs...from Iranian components.  Still more evidence that Iran is involved in killing our soldiers....but I'm sure the appeasers in the Democratic Party will find a way to explain it away.

Hillary Clinton has stepped in it.  It turns out she failed to list her and her husband's family charity on a Senate ethics form.  According to The Hildabeast, it was a simple oversight.  Fair enough, but had a Republican done the same thing...would she be so kind?

A new poll says the majority of Americans favor a deadline in Iraq...but only a slight majority...53 percent.  If opposition to the war is so strong, then why don't Democrats cut the funding for the troops.  Wait....there's no support for that either.  Oh well.

Did you know the Federal Reserve helps illegal aliens send money home to Mexico, cheaply and without a Social Security number?  Your tax dollars at work...perhaps the Feds should look at taxing that money.  It's only fair, right?

Former Libertarian presidential candidate Ron Paul has his eye on the GOP nomination.  He says the Republican Party has lost its way, failing to live up to its commitment to smaller government.  That would be the understatement of the century.

Did you know former New York Mayor and present Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani used to be a Democrat?  And why did he switch?  He says he came to the conclusion that Republicans care about the poor more. 

Thomas Sowell says liberals often don't let facts get in the way of their political positions and never is that more evident than with Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.  Sowell says the Left puts Thomas down for somehow being unqualified to be on the court...something the facts just don't support.

Former New York Mayor and liberal Democrat Ed Koch has it right when it comes to Islamic terrorists.  He says appeasing our enemies is not going to bring peace.  Now if he could somehow convince his entire political party of this. 

According to Dick Morris, Barack Obama has a serious problem...and you won't believe what it is.  Evidently Obama is having trouble getting support from the black community...who seems to be backing Hillary.  Without the black vote, Obama is doomed.
