AFTERTHOUGHT!

SCREAMING KIDS IN A RESTAURANT

Happened to my wife and I last night. Houston's Restaurant on Powers Ferry Road in Cobb County. Family of six ... mom, dad and four toddler-types. Now Houston's is a quality restaurant .. not the place to bring kids. But there they were. One little girl was wearing a princess costume. Boys in t-shirts. They were put in a circular booth and immediately the kids started standing up on the seat and jumping. What fun! Jumping and screaming! And mom and dad thought that they were oh-so-cute!

What would be wrong with a restaurant manager walking over and telling the parents that if they can't bring their kids under control they're going to have to leave?

How about shock collars? We use them for dogs to teach them not to bark, how about using them on kids to teach then not to screech like a banshee at a restaurant. Just a mild shock. Enough to shut the little brat up for a moment or two. A few jolts like this and suddenly you have a well-behaved little angel on your hands.

SAVE THE RICH FIRST

I just love doing this. It's a frontal assault on the phony sensitivities and overblown compassion of candy-assed liberals. ..... if you have two groups of people in need of rescue, but you can only rescue one group, which way do you go? Your two groups are defined as achievers and non-achievers. The non-achievers live mostly off of the efforts of others. The achievers are, for the most part, self-sustaining. When push comes to shove you save the achievers. Remember, when you're looking for a job, try the first poor person you see.

COULTER CATCHING FLACK

You just knew the left was going to go into Ann Coulter's new book "If Democrats had Brains They'd be Republicans." It look like the left is going to focus on Coulter's statement that if women didn't have the right to vote we would never elect another Democrat president. If you would like to look at the science here, instead of just going along with the leftist crowd, get a copy of Dr. John Lott's book "Freedomnomics." There's a chapter there on voting ... it will open your eyes. Here's your link if you want to order the book. I enjoyed it immensely.

Here's a story about the peaceful religion of Islam - tens of thousands of Iranians marched through Tehran chanting "Death to Israel."

One out of every five Democrats ... I mean Defeatocrats ... say that the U.S. would be better off if we lost the war on terror.

Ok, so ya'll didn't believe the gay peacock story? Read it for yourself.

All you woman that wear these push-up bras with underwires, better think twice before you go to visit a courthouse.

This man's pants caught on fire after his iPod Nano exploded in his pocket.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

"We need all of the children in this country to learn Spanish at an early age, not English only!"

-- Dennis "Jose" Kucinich, Democratic presidential candidate (again)

OBAMA AND THE FLAG

Yesterday our Washington correspondent Jamie Dupree brought us the news that the Obama rumor was true. On Wednesday, Obama did an interview with a station in Iowa where he said that he stopped wearing the American flag pin on his lapel. He stopped after the 9/11 attacks and hopes to show his patriotism by explaining his ideas. I think wearing an American Flag on your lapel explains a lot ... as does an announcement that you have made a conscious decision not to do so.

Here's what he said:

"The truth is that right after 9/11 I had a pin ... Shortly after 9/11, particularly because as we're talking about the Iraq war, that became a substitute for I think true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security ... I decided I won't wear that pin on my chest ... Instead, I'm going to try to tell the American people what I believe will make this country great, and hopefully that will be a testament to my patriotism."

AL QAEDA'S SUGAR DADDY

The US military says that American and Iraqi troops have arrested a financer for al Qaeda. The financer had received over $100 million from donors in order to fund insurgent operations in Iraq.

For a while the military has been saying that al Qaeda's expansion was due to its access to external financing. It is hard to tell the exact scale of the financing operation that they are facing.

The man in question distributed $50,000 a month to al Qaeda and employed up to 50 terrorists to plant roadside bombs ... and paid them $3,000 for each operation.

In 2006 there was an attack on the Golden Shrine in Samarra, which is a holy Shia site. This man's money was linked to purchase of explosives used in that attack, which severely escalated violence in the region.

Details of the man's nationality have yet to be released, but apparently he used a leather merchant business as a front, which allowed him to smuggle weapons and explosives. He had shops in Iraq's Falluja and in Syria and Jordan.

The sad part of this story was that he was arrested rather than just killed. But maybe we can get some information out of him that would lead us to some of the people funding Islamic radicalism. Torture him? To tell you the truth .. wouldn't upset me all that much.

SAVE THE RICH FIRST

Make sure rescuers know that you're rich in the event of a disaster...carry the official Boortz "Save Me First, I'm Rich" card in your wallet or purse. Even better, have it tattooed on your body! Oh wait. Okay, maybe we just need a "rich alert" bracelet instead.

HISPANDERING HILLARY

Hillary Clinton wants to legalize illegal immigrants in the United States ... and she wants to invite all of their relatives to come along too. Hillary says that as president she would ensure that an immigration bill is passed that would create "a path to legalization that unites families." Meanwhile, she flaunts the fact that she worked hard to make sure that families weren't disrupted in the last immigration bill.

Her progressive compadre Mike Gravel went a step further to say that illegal aliens are "not illegal" because all they have done is "risk their lives to feed their families." Let's see ... a bank robber risks his life to feed his family? Does that make his actions "not illegal?' Come on, Gravel. Are you really that dumb, or were you just trying to make rank and file Democrats feel good.

But back to Hillary. She also wants to cut the high school dropout rate for Hispanics by one half. She calls the lack of educated Hispanics a "crisis." Part of her plan would include a $100 million investment in a public-private internship program that helps minority students network for future jobs.

Hillary is upset because she feels that the American dream is "receding for too many Americans." What she failed to remember is that illegal aliens aren't Americans, they are in fact criminals.

NO SMOKING APARTMENTS

Lawmakers in some California cities want to ban smoking in apartments and condos. The City Council of Belmont will cast its final vote on the issue next Tuesday. It already won initial approval last week.

In Calabasas, the legislation would trigger fines and evictions if neighbors complain and smokers are given multiple warnings. Initially the anti-smoking law would exist in apartments and most new condos. However the council agreed to changes that would exempt all condos. Also it would set aside a certain number of apartments just for smokers!

Because of the legislation, city council members have received death threats.

Now, how do I feel? Frankly I'm getting a bit worried about all of the anti-smoking laws. If people just can't smoke any more how are we going to quickly identify stupid idiots? It may be politically incorrect to say so, but smoking gives us a tremendous advantage when it comes to spotting ignorant fools. It's like wearing an "I'm stupid" tattoo on your forehead. How do we identify fools when they can't give themselves away with a cigarette any more?

Well ... there's always that baseball hat worn backwards thing ... and tattoos.

Before we move on ... here's a story from across the pond telling us that smokers should be treated like drug addicts. Ya think? What an incredible surprise! Smokers ARE drug addicts!

MUSLIM FOOT BATHS

A Listener sent a email yesterday saying that he's really not all that upset about foot baths being installed all over the place for Muslims. The listener says that this will just mean a shorter wait for a urinal when the bathroom is crowded. Sounds like a very good idea to me. Look ... Muslim radicals at Gitmo regularly throw fecal matter at their guards ... so I see no problem in using their foot baths to answer the call of nature .. unless, of course, some peaceful, loving Muslims happen to be washing their feet at the time. After all, I do have some class.

AT THE POINT OF A GUN

Whenever I state on the air that our federal taxes are collected at the "point of a gun" some people, generally on the left side of things, object. "Oh no!" they say, "Taxes are voluntary!" Fine ... then read this.

Personally I think the two tax evaders covered in this article do more harm than good to the cause of tax reform ... but do note the paragraph about SWAT teams, the military and explosives vehicles.

Here's a prime example of why hate crimes legislation is ridiculous. A gay man was ambushed by a group of men ... but now the judge has to determine whether it is still a "hate crime" because the leader of the ambush is "sexually confused" and thinks he may be gay too.

This New York Times op-ed columnist tries to argue that the "dirty" word used to be "liberal" but now the foulest political insult is "neocon." Hell ... I don't even know what a neocon is. The foulest political insult to me is simply "Democrat."

Democrats in Florida sued their own party after national delegates were stripped of their ability to vote at the convention.

Iran is now telling the US what foreign policy we should pursue. Iran's foreign minister said that the US can't go to war with Iran because the US taxpayers can't afford it.

A juror in the Holy Land Foundation trial is refusing to vote. The Holy Land Foundation was a "Muslim charity" accused of giving aid to Hamas.

The ACLU in Michigan is suing a public charter preparatory high school because administrators suspended a male student with long hair. This is in violation of the dress code. The student has not cut his hair since he was 4-years-old because of his religious beliefs.

I like the title of this Peggy Noonan column: Bush ... Clinton ... Bush ... Clinton ... Getting very sleepy.

CAIR is now attacking talk radio hosts for their anti-Islamic remarks ... hey, CAIR, what about me??!!! Dammit .. I'm fed up with being left out here. If CAIR would stop kissing the collective asses of Islamic radicals some of us might take them a bit more seriously.

More and more cities are claiming themselves to be sanctuary cities - whether it be drivers licenses or other forms of ID. New Haven, Connecticut is issuing municipal IDs that allow immigrants to open bank accounts. When do we get around to cutting off their funds?

Former Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto and President Pervez Musharraf reached a national reconciliation agreement that may lead to a power-sharing deal.

Some people sure are upset with the City Hall in Los Angeles. Looks like politicians' solution is tax, tax, tax ... with little results.

A CNN meteorologist - the mainstream media! - admits that "there are definitely some inaccuracies" in Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth." Saying that there "may be" some inaccuracies in Gores propaganda film is like saying there may be a "few extra pounds" on the Democrat's leading presidential candidate.

Here's a look at John Edwards' "Two Americas" and why his theory of sitting poor kids next to middle-class kids isn't going to solve the problems in government education. Gawd, what a prepuce.

This 51-year-old student at the University of Massachusetts brought his case to federal court after his A- was curved down to a C. He says the university violated his civil and contractual rights and intentionally inflicted "emotional distress."

New York airports are the worst when it comes to flight delays. In the first half of 2007, 40% of arriving flights were late.

A radio station in Detroit apologized to Britney Spears after running a contest to determine when Britney would commit suicide. You mean she hasn't already done that?

What's the latest in the MoveOn Democrat war on Limbaugh? Elizabeth Edwards is saying that Limbaugh's draft exemption was somehow phony ... and that he shouldn't be doing a radio show. Don't worry ... this woman will just become another obscure shrill leftist moonbat as soon as the voters in Iowa send her husband packing.
