MCCAIN TAKES A CRACK AT THE HOUSING CRISIS

Ok, so if you want the details of John McCain's housing plan and his plan to "ease the burden" of unemployment, just read the article. Or, of course, you can listen to me. What is clear from McCain's proposals is that he is leaning more to the idea of having the government become more involved in covering for people who .. in many cases ... showed complete irresponsibility in getting into a mortgage loan they cannot now handle. Now the government is going to "guarantee" some of these mortgages. There's something else I want McCain to further explain. The loans will be rewritten under his proposal to more accurately reflect the true value of the property. What does this mean? Does this mean that the lenders will take a hit on some of the principal of their loan? Details, please.

Again ... a reminder. Much of this mortgage crisis came along when the loony left started demanding that mortgage lenders do more to bring minorities and people with marginal credit into the wonderful world of home ownership. As a result of threats from leftists in government the subprime mortgage business was born. Now we see the results. Remember ... about 96% of the people with mortgages in this country are paying them just fine. Also, many of those who have bailed on their mortgages are investors who took a chance and lost. They're just walking away.

McCain also has some plan to use tax money to pay benefits to the unemployed. He used a phrase I'm not too fond of. He wants to use tax funds to help people "unfortunate enough" to lost their jobs. There's that "lucky" thing again. If you lose a job you're just unlucky. It couldn't possibly be because you made a conscious decision to remain in a line of work that you know ... or should know ... is pretty much doomed. I mean, what can you say to someone holding on to their precious textile job in the Carolinas or their manufacturing job in the North. If you're smart you get some training, expand your education, and get out now. If you're not ... you wait to be bailed out by the government.

We already have unemployment benefits that are paid for by the employers .. with money withheld from the employees. How much tax money do we need to throw after this?

NUKES FOR ALL MUSLIM NATIONS?

This should make you feel real good. Iran's judiciary chief told the leaders of Qatar (that's another Muslim nation) that Iran would be willing to put its nuclear expertise at the service of all Muslim states.

And the UN can't get a freaking resolution passed to do anything about these goons?

So ... let's just be sure we don't do anything about Iran and their nuclear program. There will be plenty of time after the first mushroom cloud.

RANDI RHODES IS OUTTA HERE

The ever-failing (in spite of my financial help) Air America left wing talk radio network has accepted Randi Rhodes' resignation. She was initially suspended after referring to Hillary Clinton and Geraldine Ferraro as f___ing whores at a promotional appearance for Air America. Now she's canned "resigned".

Interesting ... Randi Rhodes calls for someone to assassinate George Bush and nothing happens. She calls Hillary Clinton a whore and she's off Air America. Hmmmmmm

THE NEOCON ROLE IN 9/11

The UN Human Rights Council has an Alex Jones surrogate in its midst. Richard Falk, a professor of international law at Princeton University, was assigned by the UN to monitor the conflict between Israel and Palestine. But somewhere along the way, Mr. Falk took it upon himself to call for an official commission to study the role neoconservatives may have played in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Acknowledging that his specialty is human rights and international law, Mr. Falk is now taking a power trip to devote some of his time (as a UN official) to challenging the official version of 9/11 according to the neocons.

Here's just a brief synopsis of what Mr. Falk has to say, "It is possibly true that especially the neoconservatives thought there was a situation in the country and in the world where something had to happen to wake up the American people. Whether they are innocent about the contention that they made that something happen or not, I don't think we can answer definitively at this point. All we can say is there is a lot of grounds for suspicion, there should be an official investigation of the sort the 9/11 commission did not engage in and that the failure to do these things is cheating the American people and in some sense the people of the world of a greater confidence in what really happened than they presently possess."

You know, I'm thankful for idiots like this. People like Falk make my job so much easier.

THE LAMEST PUB IN TOWN

In Great Britain, the Halal Inn is the very first alcohol-free Islamic pub ... at least, the first that we here at the Neal Boortz Show know of. It offers quite a selection of juices that you can sip will playing darts, praying in the prayer room or sitting in the steam room. (A steam room in a pub?) Oh and don't forget that traditional Islamic songs will be played in the background, rather than that offensive Western music.

I suppose they'll bring in some of their favorite Islamic comics to entertain the crowd. The Blue Turban Comedy Tour. One of these comics is floating the idea of a new TV show. "Are you smarter than Mohammed?"

One of the owners describes the place as, "It's a gathering place for people who abide by strict Islamic rulings and don't like going to places where they serve alcohol." Sounds like a pant-load of fun.

BACKING OFF THE IMMIGRATION RAIDS

The Mayor of Los Angeles is a candyass. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa wants federal officials to stop their workplace immigration raids because it would have "severe and long-lasting effects" on the local economy. You allow people to continue to break the law if enforcing the law would affect your economy. He does not mention the severe and long-lasting effects on the American taxpayers paying for illegals' healthcare. Or what about the long-lasting cost to incarcerate illegals? He does not mention the severe and long-lasting effects of Hispanic gangs on his streets, or drug-related crimes or violence. He doesn't mention anything about the number of deaths that occur every day at the hands of an illegal alien behind the wheel. And yet Antonio Villaraigosa wants the federal government to "rethink" its policy? Instead, he wants the government to focus on employers that mistreat their workers.

Los Angeles voters need to rethink Villaraigosa. Fat chance that.

READING ASSIGNMENTS

There is no al Qaeda in Iraq? Barack Obama seems to be stumbling over that notion. By the way ... did you happen to see Obama on The View? My God! I thought they were going to rape him!

When Barack Obama isn't available to do a newspaper interview after several requests, the paper finally decides that Obama will never agree to the interview because it is a gay newspaper.

The State Department has decided that it would not be "in the interest of peace" for Jimmy Carter to meet with senior officials of Hamas, considering it is a terrorist organization. Oh come on. Let the guy meet with Hamas. Carter just loves people like this ... and it will keep him occupied.

This is absurd. Osama bin Laden's right-hand man is being set up with British benefits for life because deporting him would violate his human rights.

Randi Rhodes officially got the boot from Air America after refusing to apologize for her comments about Hillary Clinton.

Another anti-military moonbat. A writer for the Los Angeles Times is upset that General Petraeus wears too much Army regalia, calling him a "ribbon creep."

When the Muslim community is upset by an Air Force Academy seminar about Islam, set up an anti-Catholic seminar to make things equal.

The NAACP thought it would be a great idea to celebrate its Annual Fight for Freedom by inviting Jeremiah Wright to speak. The NAACP is just a shadow of the organization it once was ... a weak shadow.

When you are a state senator and you propose a bill to sharply increase fines for speeding in school zones, it may be a bad idea to be caught speeding in a school zone ... on the same day your bill is debated on the senate floor.

It looks like only 29% of American adults favor nationalized health insurance ... so why are the politicians pushing these policies if few actually want them. I'll tell you why - power.

This is the best news you will hear all day: Illegal alien deportations are on the rise. Whoop whoop.

When your son gets arrested for robbing people at gun point with a gun he got out of your closet ... the excuse, "he fell in with the wrong crowd" just doesn't seem to cut it. Your son IS the wrong crowd.

Families and survivors of the Virginia Tech massacre have cut a deal with the state for $11 million.

A professor at Lake Superior State University was told to take down paraphernalia on his office door including a photo of Ronald Reagan, a political cartoon mocking Dick Cheney's hunting accident, and political cartoons about Islamic terrorism because the displays were "hateful and bigoted."

A Muslim Student Association is hosting a "scarves for solidarity" program where all women will get a free hijab to wear in solidarity for battered women.

A listener found this website called Carbon Credit Killers ... OwlGore would not be too pleased.

Colorado has a bill to create a "Colorado Carbon Fund" special license plate. No telling whether they will allow owners of SUVs to buy the plates.

Now the hunters are upset that global warming is going to kill off the animals and there won't be anything left to hunt.

The month of March wasn't good for global warmers ... because it was the 52nd coolest March ever recorded.
