YOUR PRUNES HAVE A CARBON FOOTPRINT

Elizabeth Edwards, wife of Democrat Party candidate John Edwards, is starting to get all of her fruits and vegetables locally. Why? Because apparently these fruits and vegetables have a carbon footprint. Yup ... when you transport fruit you have to burn fossil fuels .. and that means your next apple is actually causing (gasp!) global warming! The lovely Elizabeth says "I live in North Carolina. I'll probably never eat a tangerine again."

These global warming nut-case cultists want to run our country! They want to charge you extra for your fruits and vegetables because of their carbon footprint! Problem is, we have just enough idiot voters out there to put them in office!

COASTAL RESIDENTS WON'T EVACUATE

There was a story yesterday that one in three coastal residents would not evacuate in the face of an approaching hurricane. Doesn't surprise me a bit. They cite all sorts of reasons, but my guess that right at the top of the list is their knowledge that local authorities are going to hassle them to death when they try to get back to their homes after the storm has passed. If officials would pledge to do nothing to restrict their access to their property after the hurricane has had its way with them, my guess is that many more would be willing to bail.

By the way, have you heard? They're starting to adjust their warnings for the current hurricane season ... downward. It seems that temperatures are just too cool for these hurricanes to generate right now.

Durned global warming again.

GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS

Two boys at a government middle school in Oregon face 10 years in juvenile detention and a lifetime as registered sex offenders.

Their offense? The boys were running down the hallway of Patton Middle School and slapped the butts of some girls as they ran by.

But "bottom-slapping" is against policy in McMinnville Public Schools. So the seventh graders were sent to the vice principal's office where they waited to be interrogated by police. Soon after that, they were read their rights and hauled off in handcuffs. They spent the next five days in juvenile jail.

They are scheduled to go on trial in August.

Good thing there's a statute of limitations on that kind of stuff. I would sure hate to have to be registering as a sex offender.

HILLARY'S "NEW" PROGRESSIVE OUTLOOK

Hillary has decided that she does not want people to label her as a "liberal." Instead, she prefers to be called by my favorite term ... progressive. And not just progressive but a "modern day progressive."

She says the word liberal is now too closely tied with the concept of big government. I suppose her universal healthcare plan is the definition of "small government."

She says that she is "someone who believes strongly in individual rights and freedoms, who believes that we are better as a society when we're working together." That doesn't even make sense. In her "we are in this together" society, where is there room for individual liberties?

You need to remember that when Hillary was pushing her socialized medicine plan 14 years ago she told a group of Republican congressmen that we have to stop worrying about individual rights and start worrying about what is best for society. Trust me ... this woman has no appreciation at all for the concept of individualism, let alone individual rights.

As a true believer that government is what makes this country great, Hillary says that we have got to get our young people back into government service. I'm sorry ... did I say "government." She meant "public" service.

Her solution to global warming? Take away tax breaks for big oil companies. That's her solution. She wants to fund her government green energy projects, as she calls them, with taxes. Typical liberal. Not progressive .... LIBERAL.

GOOD NEWS FROM IRAQ

Support for the Iraq war is creeping up in the polls again. 42% of Americans now think that going into Iraq was the right thing to do.

I'm sure that is just killing Democrats. Also, good news out of Iraq means bad news for Defeatocrats. Al Qaeda is reporting internal rebellion, with many junior members sickened by the violence, and more willing to act as US informants.

Also, others such as Iraqi locals that used to support al Qaeda seem to be changing their tune. This trend seems to be spreading throughout Iraq.

Agreements between Sunni and Shiite tribal leaders have extended beyond those already implemented in the Anbar province.

And why has this good news surfaced? The reports say that increased number of U.S. forces has made the locals feel it's less dangerous for them to rely on America for support.

Today, the House will vote on a bill whether or not to ban permanent military bases in Iraq. This is just another "test" that the Democrats are using to skirt around the issue of Iraq and continue to blame Republicans.

CANADIANS AND HATE SPEECH

A conservative online forum based in Canada received a letter from the Canadian Human Rights Commission. Apparently, the Human Rights Commission received a complaint about the conservative forum FreeDominion.ca, claiming that they fuel ... hate speech.

The remarks that some PC Canadian complained about read as follows: "I can't figure out why the homosexuals I ran into are on the side of the Muslims ... After all, Muslims who practice Sharia law tend to advocate beheading homosexuals."

The complaint said the posting "has a discriminatory content against Muslims, and Free Dominion contributes to disseminating hate literature by allowing it to be on its Web site."

If the case reaches adjudication, it would give the Commission, under the Canadian Human Rights Act, the power to order the Web site to "cease and desist" the publication of hate speech or to impose a monetary fine.

READING ASSIGNMENTS

Talks between Iran and the U.S. didn't seem to go too well ... especially after the US ambassador accused Iran of proving training and weapons to militia extremists. The truth hurts.

How do Americans feel about Muslim extremists in the US? Take a look at this latest Newsweek poll.

Maybe the more you read on this "universal healthcare" nonsense, the more you will begin to understand the outrageous costs of such an ineffective plan.

Thomas Sowell asks an interesting question: Is America today the same as France before WWII? He compares France and Germany to the US and Iran.

In the newest Pew Research Center study, the US tops all other countries surveyed as both their greatest threat and their greatest ally.

The Pew Research Center also polled 47 countries and found that more Muslims throughout the world are rejecting bombs and violence in the name of Islam. 'Bout time.

Florida has come up with a new way to solve cases. Play cards with prisoners. And on the playing cards are unsolved murder and missing persons cases.

Macy's caught some heat from Hispanics for selling T-shirts saying, "Brown is the New White." Oh my! Did some illegals get their feelings hurt?

Some hippy anti-war protesters got naked at a rally for Hillary in San Francisco. Warning, these fun bags are some you many not want to see.

GE is going to launch "green credit cards." Their hope is to encourage its consumers to be conscious of their contributions to pollution.

A former boxing champion was shot in the face after asking some customers in a wine bar to stop smoking.

Looks like Lindsay Lohan, the celebutard, may serve jail time for her DUI, cocaine, and driving without a license. Maybe she can get some guidance from Paris.

Wow. I, the webwench, posted this surveillance video to youtube for our flagship station News/Talk 750 WSB a few months ago. Check out the many disgusting and ignorant comments. Warning: profanity in the comments.
