YESTERDAY'S ZEIFMAN INTERVIEW!

Well ... hope you didn't miss it. Yesterday's interview with Jerry Zeifman. Zeifman was the Chief Counsel and Chief of Staff of the House Judiciary Committee during its investigation of Richard Nixon.

You've heard endless times of the heroic efforts put forth by one Hillary Rodham as a lawyer on that committee. She was hired by Zeifman. If you were listening yesterday you heard Mr. Zeifman describe how Hillary hid documents which showed that Nixon was clearly entitled to legal counsel during that committee's investigation ... then she proceeded to write a legal memorandum saying that no such precedent existed. Simply put .. .unethical and dishonest. For more details, look at yesterday's Nealz Nuze.

Here is a sampling of some of the email we received about that interview:

Well ... if you missed the interview, there's still hope --- if, that is, you're a subscriber (it's free) to the Boortz Blast newsletter. Today's edition will have the audio of the complete interview. If you're not a subscriber ... perhaps you should be.

CAPITOL HILL GETS A GREEN MAKEOVER

Nancy Pelosi has been on this tear since she took office to "Green the Capitol." Now the Congress is forced to eat expensive organic food, the House is purchasing carbon offsets for its greenhouse-gas emissions, and the list of absurdities goes on and on. Her latest project is to install energy efficient lighting around the Capitol exterior. Nancy's spokesman Drew Hammill says that this project is not about the money ... since when are they ever concerned about money? But the new lights bring our "beacon of democracy" in line with other landmarks and will be "a beacon to all reminding us of the need to address the global climate crisis."

Gag. Maybe she should just introduce a resolution telling the sun to stop churning out so much solar radiation right now. Perhaps that would help.

So this is as far as Congress will go to adhere to Nancy's quest to combat global warming. The contract to design the lighting system was directed by Representative Robert Brady, a Democrat from Pennsylvania and chairman of the House Administration Committee. Well guess who happens to win the bid for the design project ... the Lighting Practice of Philadelphia, which also happens to be in Brady's district. Convenient? You might say so, considering that two lower bids were rejected before settling on this company's price of $671,900. That's right. All of that tax payer money just to make the Capitol lighting "eco-friendly."

Now are you ready for the real kicker ... the current annual electric bill for lighting the exterior of the Capitol eight hours every night is $15,000. So even if the new lights miraculously reduced energy consumption to zero, it would take the tax payers more than 45 years just to recoup the money it cost to build the new system, if we compare the cost to the current electric bill.

That, my friends, is the definition of a government project.

MUSLIMS IN THE UNITED NATIONS ... CAN'T STAND THE HEAT

Arab diplomats have decided that they are tired of being criticized for their comments made during UN Security Council meetings. Their solution is to kick out the media. No reporters. No public, period. No open meetings. We want to bash Israel in private!

Things are still pretty hush-hush, but an Arab UN diplomat met with the ambassador of one of the five permanent members of the Security Council a few days ago. Apparently, the topic of discussion was holding all sessions behind closed doors. While the prospect of this may be unlikely, it wouldn't surprise me that the UN would cave to Muslim demands. Hell ... they're caving into to Muslim demands all around the world! Why not at the UN? The UN really needs to work on shedding its pro-America image ... remember?

VIOLATING YOUR HUMAN RIGHTS

Have you ever noticed that when someone gets offended in Canada, it is automatically a violation of their human rights? Well this story is no different. This time it is the Sikhs in Canada. They have their turbans in a wad because they must wear hard hats when working in sawmills. Two Sikhs have filed a human rights complaint because they have been working at a sawmill for years without hard hats ... all of the sudden, they are required to wear them. They call the news "pretty devastating." Can't someone get out there and design a turban that looks like a hard hat? Or, maybe this is the solution.

PROTECT YOURSELF, GET SUSPENDED

So think about the different ways this scenario could play out. James could refuse and be shot in the head. James could give the guy the money and run and this thug could get away with armed robbery. James could give the guy the money and get shot anyway. Or James could pull out his own registered handgun, shoot the armed robber three times and get away with his life.

Thankfully James went with the last option. He had a valid handgun permit and used it at an appropriate time to protect himself when he had a gun pointed at his head. There is some bad news here. The predator survived his injuries. He does, however, face first-degree robbery charges. Perhaps he'll get a short sentence and when he gets out of jail he'll pull this stunt again and get killed for good this time.

So where does this story really turn sour? Pizza Hut has now suspended James William Spiers. And who knows if he will ever be able to return to work. The vice president of human resources at Pizza Hut says that employees are not allowed to carry guns "because we believe that that is the safest for everybody." Gawd, what a fool. Tell that to James, whose life was possibly saved because he chose to protect himself. Basically, what this woman at the Pizza Hut headquarters is saying that she would rather have had one of her employees shot (and possibly killed) rather than allow them to protect themselves. What an asinine train of thought.

Pizzas are fattening [here's a pdf of Pizza Hut's nutrition information, just for the heck of it]... forget Pizza Hut.

THE NECESSITIES OF A GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRAT

In Bothell, Washington the government school district is considering closing a school in order to save money. But that seems a bit ironic considering the school district is using tax payer money to buy home electronics for its administrators for personal use. Sounds like a great use of tax dollars if you ask me.

The Northshore School District has been buying administrators TVs, digital cameras and iPods. They justify the spending by explaining that it is "part of their pay" and it "helps makes them familiar with technology." What a bunch of horsesqueeze. Are you believing this crap?

Out of 93 eligible administrators, all but 13 of them have taken advantage of this "benefit," costing the taxpayers $119,000.

READING ASSIGNMENTS

Here's a link we should make a permanent part of Nealz Nuze. Teacher's unions need to be exposed. They are the most dangerous group operating in this country. More dangerous than organized crime. Hell ... the ten worst union-protected teachers ARE organized crime. Here's the link so you can enter the contest.

Uh oh. Here we go with the 3am phone ads again. This one will be answering the call for an economic crisis. I think that this ad is clearly racist. There are two kids in the bed .. and neither is black.

Hillary wants to offer US businesses $7 billion a year in tax incentives to encourage them not to ship jobs overseas ... I've got an even better tax incentive. It's called the FairTax. Get in there and sign the petition ... we want over 100,000 signatures before tax day. That's not too much to ask of you, is it?

Al Gore may find his way back to Washington after all ... Barack Obama says that he would consider Gore for a Cabinet position. How about Secretary of Con Jobs.

Republicans still haven't cleaned up their act. With pork barrel spending like this, it will be a while before they should gain any control in Congress.

You really need to check in with Dick Morris several times a week.

States are suing the EPA in order to force a decision on whether or not to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. I'm telling you, then need to regulate solar radiation.

Did anyone happen to catch this article that appeared in Newsweek, of all places, called "The Cooling World" ... well I guess you wouldn't have unless you had a subscription in 1975. (Be sure to check out the plan to melt the Arctic ice cap by covering it with black soot.)

Students at many college campuses are now demanding mix-gender dormitories. Well, the politically correct term is "gender-neutral" so as to not offend those who have a hard time identifying with a specific sex.

Saudi Arabia tried to appear moderate by saying it would host a conference to open up dialogue between the three monotheistic faiths, Islam, Judaism and Christianity ... that was until they decided that the Jews couldn't come.

A San Francisco grassroots organization has decided it wants to honor President Bush ... by naming a wastewater treatment facility in his honor. Give 'em a break. This is San Francisco we're talking about.

Apparently Americans today are not any happier than earlier generations, despite the fact that we now have higher standards of living.

Did you know that Texas had a "pole tax"? Well apparently this pole tax, too, is unconstitutional.

A government school student in Texas will be rewarded $15,000 for pain and mental anguish and for future mental anguish after his teacher put soap in his mouth.

A man in Wales is under police investigation after putting a mosquito device on his property to drive away juvenile delinquents. Local residents are afraid that the device will harm innocent children. Oh my God! Not the CHILDREN!

This is arguably an optical illusion ... it's either a socialist dictator or Mickey Mouse. Not quite sure.
