HANNITY'S FREEDOM CONCERT

Can I say a bit more about the concert? First of all ... I can't sing. Ask me to carry a tune and I sound like a pregnant pig undergoing a c-section. But I am going to have to count as one of the highlights of my insipid existence on this globe last night's experience of getting on stage in front of 13,000 astonished people and joining Sean Hannity and Scott Slade in "singing" the verses of "The Devil Went Down to Georgia." Sean took the first verse ... me the second, and our WSB morning man (and the current title holder of the nation's Numero Uno radio personality) Scott Slade took the third. We're going to do all we can to get a link to the audio of that travesty up here on the Nuze ASAP, and look for a video on YouTube in the near future! I gotta tell you, Charlie Daniels is one of the finest Americans out there, and I'm proud to count him as a friend.

Ditto for Larry the Cable Guy and Ron White! They were both there last night also. I've known both for a couple of years now, and every minute spent with them is an adventure. By the way .. I'll not confirm that Larry doesn't have a hair on his rear end ... that because he wouldn't tell a joke I shared with him last night before the show. It's the one that ends with "well hold its little nose!' Not a dirty word in the entire joke .... But neither Larry nor Ron has the nads to tell it. Several weeks ago Ron told me "Hey, Boortz. Don't you know that women don't like ______ _______ jokes?" Well, the first rule of a comic is to capture the women in the audience. As with most things in life, enlist the women and the men will follow right along. Royal promises to tell the joke during his next appearance at Atlanta's Punchline.

Hannity! You did a spectacular job putting this thing together, and the money that will go to educate the children of wounded and deceased veterans of the War on Terror will be a Godsend.

AND DUE TO THE CONCERT .....

The entire Boortz crew was up way past our bedtimes last night. Hence ... not what you might call a really loaded Nuze. We'll try to add some more as the day goes on.

MAYBE IT'S JUST IMPOSSIBLE TO ENFORCE IMMIGRATION LAWS

OK .. I know. Some of you are going to say I'm talking about me. Go ahead and have your fun. What I'm talking about is attempts on the part of Cobb County, Georgia to do something on the local level about illegal immigration. I guess the county officials think that they're going to have to do something on their own since it is pretty much clear at this point that the federal government is going to do nothing ... not even enforce the laws we have right now.

In Cobb County they're thinking about a law relating to the number of unrelated people that can live in any single-family residence. Since illegals have shown a propensity for cramming 15 or more people into one three-bedroom home, it is thought that this might make it just a bit more uncomfortable for illegals to exceed their welcome.

Well, here come the "Latino activists." They're screaming bloody murder that this law is aimed at a specific racial group and is, therefore, (a) racist, (b) illegal, (c) evil, (d) wicked and (e) mean and nasty.

OK ... let's noodle this one out. Is it just possible that Hispanics make up the bulk .. somewhere close to, say, 95% of illegal aliens in the country? So, if you're going to pass any law that tries to address the problem of criminal aliens, isn't it just possible that that law is going to have a disproportionate affect on Hispanics? Couldn't Homer Simpson figure this one out?

So .. here's the deal. Illegals and those who support them, have a ready-made weapon that they can use against us in the battle to enforce our laws. Since, insofar as illegal immigration is concerned, most miscreants are Hispanic, we are completely unable to enforce those laws because it would disproportionately affect --- (guess who?) --- Hispanics! Therefore, you can't pass any laws that would have a meaningful affect on illegal immigration!

Don't you just love political correctness?

COME TO ATLANTA. HAVE YOUR CAR STOLEN

Automobile thefts are up 18% in Atlanta. Over 90% of auto thieves are never caught and put in jail. Apparently the Atlanta police close an auto theft file as soon as the car is recovered. Finger prints ... never mind. Case closed.

Why bring this up? No big deal, you say? We'll you're probably right. I just wanted to tell you of a proposal that was made about 15 years ago by one of our illustrious Georgia Governors. This governor (no real point in naming him) actually proposed a new law in Georgia whereby no first-time auto thieves would be sentenced to jail. Only probation and a fine for first-timers. The governor's proposal never went anywhere. Or so it seems. One could make the argument that this is, in effect, what we have now. Oh well, it's only your auto insurance premiums we're talking about it.

Now that I've mentioned insurance. How about a clause in insurance policies which states that there will be no payment if it can be shown that your car was stolen because you left the keys inside. Yeah ... like that's going to happen.

UNLIKELY TO SURVIVE

The terrorist who slammed his jeep into the Glasgow airport will die.  Oh golly, that's just awful, isn't it?  He got what he deserves.  He tried to kill innocent civilians ... he is lucky that he has survived this long.

There are third degree burns covering his body.  His doctors say that they are fatal.  Don't you just hate that?  Don't you also hate the fact that burns are some of the most painful injuries you can suffer?  May Allah be praised!  It's Allah who is torturing this Islamic SOB like this ... trying to get a point across, so to speak.  Dr. Terrorist MD has lost so much skin that it is too difficult to prevent infection.  Clearly he did not accomplish his mission to kill non-believers (in Islam, that is) that technically speaking, hasn't he failed? May his death be long and painful, Allah willing. 

And one other thing, this man has been kept alive in a hospital.  He was transferred to the hospital in an intensive care ambulance.  Those are mighty expensive ... then we have all the medical bills that are keeping this crispy Muslim alive.  I sure as hell hope that this isn't covered under the UK's socialized healthcare.  Wouldn't you be furious if your tax dollar were helping keep this terrorist alive - dressing his wounds, feeding him, bathing him, transferring him around in fancy ambulances.  Reverse the characters and the burn patient just gets shot.

APPEASING ISLAMIC TERRORISTS

We can't have the Ten Commandments up in any government building.  The ACLU will throw a snit fit if we even try.  God forbid we dare to mix Christianity with government.  But the hypocrisy of government is astounding.  Government officials seem to be more and more willing to bend over backward for any Muslim group or organization.  They want prayer in schools, fine.  They want foot baths, fine.  Muslim-safe food in the school cafeterias?  No problem.                                  

Well if you walk into the FBI building in Omaha, Nebraska, there is a giant plaque on the wall.  Usually the plaque would be covered up by a Christmas tree around the holidays, but that wouldn't be PC ... would it? 

The plaque is from the Muslim Public Affairs Council and the American Muslim Association. It is commemorating the victims of September 11th.  This, my friends, is nothing less than a PR scam.  Let me tell you why:

• The Executive Director of Muslim Public Affairs Council, Al-Marayati went on the radio and suggested that Israel had the most to gain by the 9/11 attacks and should be considered the chief suspect.
   
• The Communications Director of the Muslim Public Affairs Council was the managing editor of a publication applauding Osama bin Laden as a "great Mujahid," a "philanthropist" and a "freedom fighter."
   
• Richard Gephart (a democrat), while the House minority leader,  appointed Al-Marayati to head a National Commission on Terrorism.  The appointment was finally rescinded after backlash saying that Al-Marayati has a "long record over many, many years of rationalizing and justifying terrorism."

And the list continues folks.  Are you seeing this?  This should be a government outrage if I've ever heard one.  I've said it before,  not all Muslims are terrorists.  However, there are Muslims terrorists that have absolutely no place in our government ... that should have absolutely no sway over our politics, our schools, our lives, and our tax dollars. 

GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS

Both sides of this story demonstrate the battle between government educators and the government educated. 

A teacher at a government elementary school wrapped tape around a student's head to get him to shut up.  Apparently the tape job was so good that it covered the child's nose, mouth and ears.  Ok, so maybe this is a little over the top. 

The excuse for the child's disruptive behavior?  You guessed it!  ADD - Attention Deficit Disorder.  That's right ... don't blame the parents or the child for the behavior, blame the lack of meds.  Yep.  He's ADD and therefore he can't help it. 

And that's not all.  The parents are so upset about the pain and ridicule their precious little angel had to endure.  The parents claim he suffered "pain and fear of attending school."  That's a problem?  If these children knew what was happening to them, every one of them would be scared to death of attending a government school.  

READING ASSIGNMENTS?

First .. and I shouldn't have to post this here because it is something you should be checking every day. James Taranto's Best of the Web from the Wall Street Journal. In this edition you learn of the BBC misleading folks about an anti-terrorism rally.

Something else you should be checking every day. The latest from The Media Research Center. Be sure to check out the twice-weekly CyberAlerts.

It looks like we're taking a trip through some of the websites I use often for the stuff I spew on the air. Don't forget Fark.com. (I'm giving away all my secrets here).

Back to the Wall Street Journal. On the editorial page there's a column saying that the surge in Iraq is working ... but will the peace-at-any-price crowd in Washington allow it to continue? The writers at the Wall Street Journal editorial page are, of course, nothing but a bunch of war mongers.

Walter Williams has some questions for the pro-amnesty crowd; many of which, he says, are his "libertarian friends."

More from John Stossel about his experience interviewing Michael Moore.

Looks like there's going to be a global warming showdown in Congress here pretty soon. Now that's a (non) heated debate.

Wow, I could have told you this one.  A study says that U.S. teenagers have little interest in news.

There was a little security scare in Times Square yesterday.  Closed down several blocks in Manhattan.  But apparently the object turned out to be forgotten luggage.

This will make for a great marriage.  A bride is fined on her wedding day (still in her wedding dress!) for attacking her husband with a stiletto high-heeled shoe.

The McCain camp is having a tough time right now.  Maybe that amnesty bill wasn't such a good idea John.

Talk about punishment!  The Chinese executed the former head of the State Food and Drug Administration.

Don't have an affair if you are in Iran.  They just stoned a man to death for having a little fling.  Are we back in the stone ages??

A Muslim female in Britain is arrested for listening to her iPod under her hijab ... during a murder trial! 

A magazine wants to publish more graphic coverage of the war ... I assume to try and scare it's readers into disagreeing with the war.

Like obese people need any more excuses to be fat, sit on the couch and eat potato chips.  A study shows that obese people live longer.  Yeah, they can live but what can they actually do?

Speaking of food ... a couple skipped out on an expensive dinner bill ($410.09).  The owner of the restaurant happened to see the couple later that evening, eating at another dinner at a different restaurant.  So the upset owner is a former judo instructor.  He chases the couple down (who fled), pinned the man in a back alley and waited for police to arrive.  How's that for service?
