SUICIDE BOMB SQUADS ON THE WAY TO THE UNITED STATES?

A video tape has found its way into the hands of ABC news.  Apparently there was a little Al A Qaeda graduation ceremony last week.  (No word yet if you were penalized if your relatives cheered when you got your Al Qaeda diploma.)  The graduation ceremony was to honor teams of freshly minted Islamic homicide bombers, some boys as young as 12 years old. 

The graduation speaker was Taliban military commander Mansoor Dadullah.  I suppose he was chosen our of sympathy.  It seems that his brother was sent to his eternal sand nap in hell last month by U.S. soldiers.  Mansoor the Maniac told the appreciative crowd "These Americans, Canadians, British and Germans come here to Afghanistan from faraway places.  Why shouldn't we go after them?'

Then it was time for the valedictory address!  The prize student turned out to be a homicide bomber who's assignment was to attack a target in Great Britain.  His speech was in English:  "So let me say something about why we are going, along with my team, for a suicide attack in Britain," he said. "Whether my colleagues, companions and Muslim brothers die today or tonight, every drop of our blood will invigorate the Muslim (unintelligible)."  Word is that the unintelligible word was "menace." 

Now U.S. intelligence officials are saying that this was all a stunt ... just part of the sophisticated propaganda machine.  Yeah.  I'm sure that's it.  After all, who ever heard of people just blowing themselves up to kill those they don't particularly like?  After all, even though one of these teams is supposed to be heading to the United States, how in the hell would they get in this country?  Just walk across our borders?  Surely they don't think that they could pull that off, do they? 

I say we just ignore them and concentrate on getting Paris Hilton out of jail.  Whaddaya think?

WHAT DOES HARRY REID HAVE TO DO WITH CLAY PIGEONS?

Well, besides the obvious ... but a clay pigeon is a tactic used in Congress.  Harry Reid wants to use this on the immigration bill to get it passed as quickly as possible. This is so he can move onto more important things, like undermining our military and maintaining his less-popular-than-Bush image. 

The "clay pigeon" tactic calls for all 22 amendments to the amnesty bill to be incorporated into one amendment .. just one amendment containing all 22 elements.  That's the clay pigeon.  The pigeon is then launched and the Senators take their shots.  With the first hit the clay pigeon is smashed into its 22 components.  But since we're really talking about one single amendment here, this means that once a vote is taken on ending debate (and the fix is in) the Senate has only 30 hours to debate all 22 scattered elements of the clay pigeon.  that works out to a little over an hour per amendment.  The reality is that this Senate can't get cranked up in an hour, much less debate an important amendment to a disastrous bill.  Has anyone watched CSPAN??  It takes about 3 years to have a roll call vote, much less 22 of them.  And at the end of the day, you have no choice.  You have to vote!  And if you haven't had the chance to honestly debate the issue, too bad.  Harry Reid is pulling this procedural stunt because he doesn't want to actually talk about each amendment.  No, this would be too logical to actually discuss each part of the legislation. 

Pretty tricky Harry.  We here in talk radio are on to you and your amnesty schemes.  Just remember, we're running the country ... and we know what you are up to! 

WE CAN'T EVEN DEPORT ILLEGAL CRIMINALS

As it is, the federal government is already bogged down with too much immigration paperwork.  So the Congress' plan ... just grant them amnesty!  It's probably out of sheer laziness (and fear) to actually work on the current system, which is clearly failing. 

In the second half of 2006, Colorado officials turned over 15,000 names to federal authorities.  Why?  Because the criminals Colorado was sending to jail had no paperwork.  They were illegal criminals.  And now, they are sitting in Colorado jails - paid for by Colorado taxpayers - and the federal government can't do a darn thing about it.  15,000 criminals, folks!  In just six months!  In one state.  And who knows how many they don't have in jails!

These are criminals.  Not just because they broke the law to get into this country, but they broke the laws of their counties and they are sitting in jail.  And even if the state reports the names, nothing is going to happen.  Nothing.  That's our federal government for you.  Can't even get a simple passport issued.

Congress would rather grant amnesty to these criminals than do what they deserve: deport them.   If the federal government can't even send the illegals home who commit additional crimes (other than coming here in the first place), you know that they aren't serious about the rest.  All they have to do punish anyone who enables this criminal illegal alien enterprise.  That includes the employers, the banks, the landlords ... everyone.  Yank out the welcome mat.  They will self deport.  They'll go home!  If they can't make money, there is no point in being here.  Let them leave.

What's sad is that the number reported increased 71 percent from two years ago.  That is no insignificant increase!  Are more of them suddenly crossing the border?  No.  But we have gotten to a point where this has been allowed to go on for too long.  And amnesty for their crimes is not the way to solve it. 

CUBA DEFENDS ITSELF AGAINST ... THE US?

Fidel Castro has reinforced his hatred for the United States.  Not just the United States, but everything it stands for.  Yesterday, Castro announced that Cuba will continue to build up its defenses against the U.S., and that this would require "more sacrifices" of the Cuban people.  Oh, I'm sorry.  Is 50+ years of communist rule, food rations and government-controlled media not enough of a sacrifice? 

He labels the United States as Cuba's "long-time ideological foe."  No big shocker there.  If there is one thing a socialist can't stand it's freedom.  Cubans did not make America a foe, Castro did.  But don't worry, Castro provides government education to everyone ... isn't he such a nice guy?  It's called indoctrination.  Pretty much the same as here.

And, of course, Castro denounced the U.S. embargo of five decades.  Not unexpected.   But it doesn't take a genius to figure out why.  In a socialist economy, the government owns the means of production.  So if the U.S. doesn't help out, this means the government loses ... not the people.  So for all you liberals out there who keep whining, "But we are hurting the poor people of Cuba!"  Get over  it.  If you understood anything about how the country was run, you would know that the government controls everything.  So any help that we, or any other countries, give, helps one person: Fidel Castro. 

And as for Bush wanting to invade Cuba ... fat chance in hell.  I think George Bush is smart enough to take a look at the Bay of Pigs and realize, once is enough!  Not to mention all those votes he might lose for Republicans.  After all, we can't upset the Hispanics! 

ENGLISH, ANYONE?

For all you government school kiddies out there, don't worry about learning English.  Nah.  It's only a part of the naturalization process.  But to hell with that.  We are granting amnesty these days! 

So if you want to eat lunch in the cafeteria, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has been kind enough to translate the meal application into whatever language you speak!  Well, with the exception of Italian and German.  We're not really sure why.  Maybe we just stopped letting them in.  Or we don't care enough about their votes.

From the June 22^nd USDA report:

"Please be advised that we have finalized the process of translating the Free and Reduced Price School Meals Application package into 25 different languages . . . Arabic, Cambodian, Chinese (Mandarin), Farsi, French, Greek, Haitian, Hindi, Hmong, Japanese, Korean, Kurdish, Laotian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Samoan, Serbo-Croatian, Somali, Spanish, Sudanese, Tagalog, Thai, Urdu, and Vietnamese." 

Isn't that nice of government ... I mean, the taxpayers?  I wonder how much money they paid people to translate?  And how much paper are they going to waste by printing thousands of applications in Kurdish or Haitian? 

It doesn't matter.  What's next?  Requiring lunch ladies to speak the languages so the kiddies in line don't feel bad?  Oh wait, we are still talking about government employees ... never mind!

YOUR FRIENDLY GLOBAL WARMING UPDATE!

Global warming fanatics, you're going to absolutely LOVE this story  First .. here's a column from Bill Steigerwald of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.  Steigerwald writes about Anthony Watts of Chico, California.  Watts is a former TV meteorologist.  Watts did what Al Gore (or our lovely Belinda, for that matter) never did ... he started searching out and looking at some of the 1,221 weather stations that the federal government uses to gather data on temperatures.  That data, of course, is then used to tell us of the threat of global warming!  Government standards say that these temperature measuring stations should be 100 feet from buildings, not on a hot concrete service, and so forth.  Well, it would seem that these regulations aren't exactly being adhered to. 

Believe it or not, Steigerwald and his followers have found temperature measuring stations sitting right next to barrels where trash is burned.  Some are sitting directly in front of air conditioning vents.  Others are located near the tarmac on parking lots and at airports.  Still others are found surrounded by high buildings.  Believe it or not, he even found one official temperature measuring station sitting directly behind an airport ramp where it can be routinely subject to jet blast!  Just what do you think the locations of these official government temperature measuring stations might mean to all of these temperature measurements that are being used by OwlGore and others to convince us of global warming!

Now for the fun.  Pictures! Watts has a website where he's detailing his findings.  The site has been so slammed lately that he has had to go in search of a new server.  The address is http://www.surfacestations.org.  Give it a try .. if he still doesn't have a new server up and running you can get some rather amazing pictures, along with accompanying graphs, on his blog.  Here's your link.

Are you starting to get the feeling that we're being had here?  Sure seems that way.  I wonder what the motivation is?  One thing for sure, the more leftist you are, the more likely you are to go along with this man-made global warming nonsense.  The more anti-capitalist you are, the more likely you are to be worshiping at the altar of the OwlGore.  Noodle it out, my friends.  Connect some dots when you get the chance.

LET'S GET THE MUSLIMS ALL WORKED UP AGAIN!

In 1988 Salman Rushdie wrote "The Satanic Verses."  The book was about a prophet who was led astray by the devil and it resulted in a death sentence for Rushdie.  Well ... here we go again.  It seems that the Queen (that would be the English variety) has Knighted Rushdie.  He is now Sir Salman Rushdie.  Muslims are fit to be tied ---- which doesn't sound like that bad an idea.  And here come the death threats again, this time from government leaders in Pakistan and elsewhere.

Are you folks getting as tired of these Muslim death threats as I am?

JUNK FAXES

Got another junk fax on my home fax machine yesterday.  This one was selling life insurance. There was a form to fill out.  They wanted all of my personal information.  Oddly .. the insurance company soliciting the information wasn't named in the junk fax.  The did, however, include a return fax number.  Well, I'm not stupid enough to respond to an annoying fax like this with personal information; but I am the type that would send them a return fax with a suggestion that they attempt a physical improbability.  I'm certainly not suggesting that you do the same.  In fact, I'm asking you not to.  The mysterious fax number is 800-790-1468. 

READING ASSINGMENTS:

Don't ever miss a Victor Davis Hanson column.  This one:  "Hypocrisy that undermines civilization." 

The U.S. will resume relations with the new Palestinian government, including up to $86 million in aid to help rebuild infrastructure.  How many American taxpayers does it take to solve the Middle East crisis?  The answer is too many. 

The Senate continues to debate the $15 billion energy bill.  The plan?  Take the money away from evil business and save the environment!

You know it's bad when even feminists won't support Hillary Rodham.  Looks like women are too intimidated by her.  Don't worry ladies ... so is Bill. 

But how long did it take until this was going to happen?  Looks like Bill will jump on the campaign trail with Hillary Rodham in Iowa. 

Apparently the Syrians were really sad to see Cindy Sheehan go.  The regime said that "all the honorable people in the world" should continue Cindy's fight.  Translation:  if you hate America, we can still do it without her!

Oh no! Your Senator might have to work this weekend.  Yep.  Isn't that just terrible?  Harry Reid doesn't want to be "the bearer of bad news," but he has too many criminals to grant amnesty to ... and it can't wait 'til next week!

A man sues a casino after losing $600,000 ... here's an idea: take responsibility for your own damn problems and stop trying to blame it on the casino. 

Apparently fewer males out there are getting the snip-snip!  Only about 57% of males currently born in the U.S. are circumcised.  And the number if falling.  Actually, our newest staffer, Cristina, wanted to make sure that you read this story.
