OMEISH RESIGNS FROM VIRGINIA BOARD

Yesterday on Nealz Nuze you might remember a story about the Governor of Virginia appointing Dr. Esam S. Omeish to Virginia's Commission of Immigration. Omeish had links to terrorist groups ... there was a video on YouTube where he calls for the destruction of Israel "the jihad way."

One of our very astute Nuze readers -- Kent from Virginia -- read Nealz Nuze and actually called his local radio station to talk to the Governor (who was a guest on a local show). Apparently this was the first time that the Governor had heard that there were videos of Omeish on YouTube condemning Israel.

Here's a link to the Washington Times story on the subject.

Well now Omeish has resigned from the board. Omeish explained that he "didn't want anything to distract the work of the commission."

Uh huh.

And a huge thanks to Kent for taking action here and talking to the Governor. Oh ... and let's not forget the work of our newest staffer, Cristina Gonzalez. Cristina is the one who found this story and inserted it into Nealz Nuze yesterday. We never did talk about it on the air ... so Cristina gets the credit.

NEWT GINGRICH'S SOLUTIONS DAY

GLOBAL WARMING TAX

Michigan Rep. John Dingell has cooked up a beauty. He is proposing a 50-cent-a-gallon gasoline tax, a carbon tax and scaling back tax breaks for some home owners.

He says, "I'm trying to have everybody understand that this is going to cost, and that it's going to have a measure of pain that you're not going to like." A measure of pain? But get this. According to Dingell, we are all going to share the pain in way that is fair, proper, and acceptable.

Yes .. this is the same John Dingell who is promoting the idea of getting rid of the home mortgage interest deduction for people who are so damned selfish, so piggish as to buy a home of more than 3000 square feet. These homes, you see, are using just too much energy.

Now it's one thing when you get rid of the home mortgage interest deduction at the same time you get rid of the taxes, as the FairTax does ... but Dingell wants to leave the income tax right there where it is. No surprise there.

AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH

England has decided to distribute copies of Al Gore's propaganda film "An Inconvenient Truth" to schools throughout the country as a learning tool. One government official is challenging the Government's decision to give the film to every secondary school in England - the equivalent of American High Schools.

The DVD was sent to more than 3,500 schools as part of a "sustainable schools year of action."

The High Court in England describes the documentary as having "serious scientific inaccuracies, political propaganda and sentimental mush". The government official challenging this lame idea says that it is a partisan film, aimed at influencing and indoctrinating students with political propaganda.

And while we're on the topic of British political pandering ... the British chairman of the new Commission for Equalities and Human Rights wants to rewrite history books. He wants to make sure that history emphasizes the roles played by other races and religions such as Islam.

He says, "Let's rewrite that, so we have an ideal that brings us together so that it can bind us together in stormy times ahead in the next century."

"Stormy times ahead?" With politically correct nonsense like this going on, you bet!

HATE CRIMES BILL

The Senate voted to attach hate crimes legislation to the pending defense authorization bill. Legislation to help states prosecute attacks on homosexuals will now be voted on in conjunction with funding the war in Iraq.

Opponents say that it will ultimately fail, as Bush threatens to veto.

Republicans say that the matter of hate crimes legislation should be left to the states. The better response is that hate crimes legislations not only criminalizes thought, it also sets up different classes of victims. Example: Some people say I look a bit like Idaho Senator Larry Craig. Not that there's anything wrong with that! Well, let's say that Larry Craig and I get mugged on the same Washington DC street by a gang of white skinheads within minutes of each other. The crime against Senator Craig could be considered to be more serious because of the possibility that these skinheads were reacting to stories of his restroom adventures. Me? Just an ordinary white guy. A second class victim.

Yeah ... that's called "equal protection under the law."

CANADIANS FIGHTS MUSLIM DEPRESSION

There is a new bylaw in Vancouver that will ban smoking on most sidewalks in commercial areas, in bus shelters, and restaurant patios.

Great. They could have just stopped there. But no. City council members felt compelled to grant an exception for hookah lounges because "they provide an important cultural space ... for Muslims."

The hookah lounges are said to be "essential" for Muslim immigrants because it helps them cope with depression, which they often experience as newcomers. This article from The Vancouver Sun goes on to point out that "Unlike other immigrants, they can't go to bars because their religion prohibits them from drinking alcohol."

Now isn't that a crying shame. Muslims can kill infidels, but they can't lift a toast to their hairy thunderer in celebration. Sucks to be them.

The debate doesn't end there. The city council is still debating on is whether or not the bylaw should apply to crack cocaine and crystal-meth smoking, not just tobacco. Oh come on now, let's not go overboard with this thing.

READING ASSIGNMENTS

The White House is having its say on how the government can help alleviate airline congestion. Does Bush understand that the biggest part of this problem is the way airlines schedule their flights?

Don't let Hillary fool you, folks. Her government healthcare plan claims to exclude illegal aliens, but this article will show you otherwise.

I mentioned this yesterday, but Wal-Mart is expanding its $4-a-month generic drug program. Private sector solutions to our so-called "health care crisis." Politicians will hate this.

Here are House Minority Leader John Boehner's thoughts on Congressional pork-barrel earmarks. If the Republican leadership had felt this way a few years ago --- and acted --- they might still be in control

Muslim jihadist leaders are inviting Rosie O'Donnell to come and visit them in the Middle East. Do they have burkas that big? Oh, and I knew that veil thing would come in handy sooner or later.

There are more blacks and Latinos in jail than there are in college dorms. Civil rights activists are shocked by the findings. Law enforcement officials are not.

A march in Wisconsin ended with an Iraq veteran taking off his medal and mailing it to Donald Rumsfeld. Check this guy out ... maybe he faked the whole thing like John Kerry.

Tennessee started its cigarette surveillance program yesterday. State Department of Revenue agents will be stopping Tennessee drivers who are spotted buying large amounts of cigarettes in border states. Cigarette taxes jumped to 62 cents per pack as of July 1st.

This guy gets pulled over for not wearing a seat belt. He has a cold and coughs on the police officer. The man is then charged with assault and could face 60 days in jail. A judge now has to decide the intent of the man's cough.

Catholic groups have their panties in a wad because they want people to boycott Miller Brewing Company for sponsoring a San Francisco street fair. The problem is that promotions for the fair included a picture of semi-nude men and women in bondage at a table with sex toys depicting da Vinci's "The Last Supper." Hey, folks. It's San Francisco!

A road crew in Illinois is under fire for painting yellow stripes on the road ... right over a dead raccoon's body. Come on, these are government workers. It was someone else's job to pick up the dead raccoon.

Remember the classic Chevy that Neal donated to Care-A-Thon last year? It has been donated again and is up for raffle. Find out more here.
