AHMADINEJAD AT GROUND ZERO

This is worse than disgusting.

Iran's president is already causing a stir by coming to New York City and the United Nations. As if that wasn't bad enough, this Islamic fascist wants his personal tour of Ground Zero. Instead of a resounding "You've got to be kidding," New York's Mayor Bloomberg originally went along, considering the idea that Ahmadinejad be escorted down to ground zero ... assumingly to pay his "respects." After the outrage that erupted yesterday afternoon, it's safe to say that Bloomberg may be having 2nd, 3rd and 4th thoughts.

Tax dollars are already paying for his NYPD and Secret Service security detail, while he visits New York. No doubt that his little trip downtown would also be paid for by American tax dollars.

Iran is a state supporter of terrorism. Iran is a known supporter and supplier of weapons for extremist who attack U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. The idea of letting this Muslim fascist visit ground zero, where he would most likely inwardly gloat over the successes of his terrorist brothers, is outrageous. There is not one ounce of doubt in my mind that pictures of this event would soon make their way around the Islamic world with captions such as "Courageous Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (peace be upon his beard) visits the site of Islam's great victory over the infidels of the Great Satan."

The only reason we're letting this SOB into this country in the first place is because we have to ... this is where the United Nations is headquartered. Here we have yet another argument for moving the UN headquarters somewhere else. How grand would it be to watch the UN headquarters on the East River being imploded! Maybe we could conveniently forget to tell the delegations from Iran, Syria and Saudi Arabia of the pending demolition and they could take the same ride those innocents took in the World Trade Towers.

Mitt Romney had a good point, "Instead of entertaining Ahmadinejad, we should be indicting him."

Update: Finally a police spokesman has announced that they will not allow him to visit ground zero. Good. But just the fact that they would entertain the idea is just absurd.

WHY DEMOCRATS JUST ABSOLUTELY HATE BEING CALLED .....

I've always being one who likes to get under the skin of the collective left, and glorioski, have I found a way to rattle Democrats. You just refer to their wonderful party as the Democrat Party! Lordy, does this put a burr in their thongs.

Well .. now I think I've found out why! A buddy of mine at CNN (who, for obvious reasons, shall remain unnamed) provided me with some interesting information.

Joseph J. Ellis wrote a book called "Founding Brothers, The Revolutionary Generation." I ordered my copy this morning. One of the Amazon.com reviews for this book says "This book is really unique in that it gives a really interesting perspective not only on the men [our founding fathers] , but the dynamic between them."

Now in that book by this renowned historian you will find some tasty information on the origination of the word "democrat." Many times I've told you that our founding fathers were none too fond of the idea of democracy, or, as they viewed it, mob rule.

Here's the quote:

"... the term "democrat" originated as an epithet and referred to 'one who
panders to the crude and mindless whims of the masses.'"

Don't you love it? Could anything better define today's Democrat Party? Get with the program folks. It's the Democrat, not the "Democratic" Party.

A PEACEFUL RELIGION

The Taliban is up to its dirty tricks again ... using children as human shields during battle. The U.S. coalition forces held their fire for quite some time during a battle in southern Afghanistan as Taliban fighters used the children to protect themselves.

Aircraft were held from bombing the site after spotting the children being used as shields. Major Chris Belcher, a coalition spokesman says that this shows that The Taliban really don't care about Afghans ... well duh.

Meanwhile, President Hamid Karzai strongly criticized the U.S. and NATO forces for causing civilian causalities.

A report Sunday found shipments of armor-piercing bombs being sent from Iran to the Taliban in Afghanistan. Two other shipments from Iran were also intercepted recently, but it can't be confirmed that they were sent from Iran's government.

Ahmadinejad, our highly-awaited visitor, says he has "serious doubts" that his country is supplying weapons to the Taliban. Yeah, sure he does.

CHAVEZ TIME

Hugo Chavez has decided that he wants to change all of the clocks in his country. Venezuela will be turning its clocks back half an hour. Yep, only a half an hour.

And he wants this done ... by Monday.

Chavez says, "I don't care if they call me crazy, the new time will go ahead, let them call me whatever they want." Then he plays the blame game, "I'm not to blame. I received a recommendation and said I liked the idea."

Hugo the Horrible says that this is for the children waking up for school. Now they can wake up in the daylight.

Funnily enough, Chavez and his brother (the education secretary) announced this one on their live show. But they somehow gave Venezuelans the wrong instructions, telling them to move the clocks forward, rather than back. Guess that little detail just slipped his mind ... such as it is.

Chavez maintains that this time change is not strange, and he wants to distance himself from hourly divisions as they are "dictated by the imperial United States."

PROTECTION FOR OBESE AMERICANS

Oh .. this one is rich.

Bill Richardson, Democrat candidate for president, says that obese Americans should be brought under the protection of the Americans for Disabilities Act. He says that this falls under the category of "basic civil rights."

Give me a break, would you? Pushing for obese people to be protected by the A.D.A. would mean that oversight on such matters as hiring and firing would belong to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. So much for businesses offering incentives for your weight loss ... that would discriminate!

In his own version of universal health coverage, Richardson wants to "dramatically" boost research efforts on obesity. He also wants to use federal funds (read: tax dollars) to have colleges offer fitness classes ... so students don't gain the freshmen 15.

We don't NEED research on obesity. Why do we have to spend millions upon millions of taxpayer dollars to figure out that people become lard asses by not exercising and eating too much of the wrong foods?

Your tax dollars at work ladies and gentlemen!

MEXICAN LESSON PLANS ... IN AMERICA?

It was only a matter of time, folks.

Government schools in Oregon are using school curriculums from Mexico. Three Oregon high schools are using Mexican textbooks, Web sites, DVDs and CDs to teach math, science and even U.S. history to Spanish-speaking students. The materials are provided for free by the Mexican government.

Oregon's Department of Education and Mexico's secretary of public education are becoming friendly. They are trying to align school curriculums so that courses in Mexico would be equivalent to American courses and vice versa.

In Washington, 30 government schools already use Mexico's curriculum. The Yakima School District was among the first to implement the curriculum. It cost them an estimated $60,000 AMERICAN tax dollars. So far in Oregon, it has cost tax payers $10,000, not to mention over $2,000 to maintain the computers used to support Mexico's Web site ... yes, MEXICO's Web site.

It looks to me like this Mexican invasion thing is working out rather well for them, don't you think?

REDNECK SCRAP BOOK

READING ASSIGNMENTS

O.J. Simpson was released from jail. Bail was set at $125,000 on armed robbery charges.

Dan Rather filed a $70 million lawsuit against the network, its corporate parent and three of his former superiors for violation of contract. Now Gunga Dan will sit back and wait for CBS to settle for a few million. Lawsuit lotteries!

The ACLU and Muslim advocacy groups have teamed up to sue the FBI and the Justice Department for failing to turn over documents on the surveillance of Muslim-Americans. Hell ... it's good to know that there even IS surveillance of Muslims in this country.

Here's what a liberal government education will do. A student from Central Connecticut State University wrote an article "Bush or bin Laden: Who is More Evil?" The student then goes on to ignorantly point out that "the imminent danger of terrorism exists now more than ever because of Bush's actions." So radical Islam is clearly not the problem here. Someday, when this student has children and (perhaps) a responsible job in the private sector somewhere, he or she is going to read this article and think "How could I have ever been so mindlessly stupid?"

The U.N. is going to decide the legality of the U.S. embargo on Cuba. What gives the U.N. the right to determine which countries the U.S. can sanction and how we go about it?

Meanwhile, the US Congress voted on allowing "war on terror" suspects held in Guantanamo Bay to challenge their detention in U.S. federal courts. The bill failed in the Senate.

A recent survey shows that most Americans do not want the government to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine. They felt that media should be government-free. Put Hillary in the White House and we'll see how that changes.

Turkey is all over the map. Its prime minister has now lifted the ban on women wearing headscarves at state universities. The issue has been at the head of the arduous debate in Turkey over the separation of religion and state.

A 70-year-old grandmother was charged with a landscape violation and resisting arrest after an officer tried to cite her for not watering her lawn.

This study says that students at top American universities don't know squat about American history, economics, government or international relations. The average score on a civics test, as a college senior, was only 53.2%. Hopefully you aren't surprised.

A woman sued the National Board of Medical Examiners for not giving her more time on her break than the allotted 45-minutes ... so that she could go and breast-feed her baby. She already had special accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act for dyslexia and ADHD. And you wonder why women don't advance in the workplace like men do.

A German politician wants marriage licenses to only last seven years ... with an option to renew! Every seven years the government would require you to renew your vows. Something tells me the government would make money off of a scheme like this. Good for the children, don't you think?

Speaking of marriages ... More than half the Americans who would have celebrated their 25th wedding anniversaries since 2000 were either divorced, separated or widowed.

The owners of the dry cleaner that was sued for $54 million have officially had to close up shop.

How can you make chowing down on a chocolate bar worse for you? Just add bacon!

Good grief! Did you know there was a website out there called Fat Chicks in Party Hats? We thought WE were insensitive....Oh yeah, and DON'T go there. You have been warned.
