Daily Kos Loses a Vital Voice:
Rosie leaving "The Spew":
April 25, 2007 — Rosie (That's the first time in history that fire has melted steel) O'Donnell is leaving "The View." ABC has been unable to come to a contractual agreement with "The View" co-host. As a result, her duties on the show will come to an end mid-June.
Look for her to replace Howard Dean as DNC Chair. I can't wait to hear what she says now that the contractual dog collar is off of her ample, multi-chinned neck.
Halliburton astronomers confirm:
Another planet ripe for plunder:
It's got the same climate as Earth, plus water and gravity. A newly discovered planet is the most stunning evidence that life - just like us - might be out there. Above a calm, dark ocean, a huge, bloated red sun rises in the sky - a full ten times the size of our Sun as seen from Earth. Small waves lap at a sandy shore and on the beach, something stirs...
I just hope it has oil! Bwahahahahahahaha!! New 9/11 if Democrats win:
MANCHESTER, N.H. —- Rudy Giuliani said if a Democrat is elected president in 2008, America will be at risk for another terrorist attack on the scale of Sept. 11, 2001.But if a Republican is elected, he said, especially if it is him, terrorist attacks can be anticipated and stopped. “If any Republican is elected president —- and I think obviously I would be the best at this —- we will remain on offense and will anticipate what [the terrorists] will do and try to stop them before they do it,” Giuliani said."I listen a little to the Democrats and if one of them gets elected, we are going on defense. We will wave the white flag on Iraq. We will cut back on the Patriot Act, electronic surveillance, interrogation and we will be back to our pre-Sept. 11 attitude of defense."
If there is terrorist attack under a democrat administration, the response will likely be some form of Carbon Tax, especially if planes are used or perhaps a naval blockade until the country harboring said terrorist organization purchases Carbon Offsets to negate any possible environmental damage...
Yeltsin, in spite (or because) of his drinking, outlived the average Russian by 20 years:
MOSCOW - Russia bid a solemn farewell Wednesday to Boris Yeltsin, its first post-Soviet leader, in a funeral presided over by some two dozen white-robed priests and a crowd of dignitaries including President Vladimir Putin and two former U.S. leaders. Before the funeral in central Moscow, more than 20,000 people had filed through the Cathedral of Christ the Savior to view the body of Yeltsin, who died Monday at age 76. After the viewing ended, dignitaries including former U.S. presidents Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush arrived and offered condolences to Yeltsin’s black-clad widow Naina. Many of the mourners said they admired Yeltsin for breaking the grip of monolithic Communism and moving the country toward full-fledged democracy — and said they fear his successor Vladimir Putin is reversing the progress.
PBS silences Moderate Muslims:
Why won't PBS run with this story? There's a new documentary out there called "Islam vs. Islamists: Voices from the Muslim Center." This documentary was produced by moderate Muslims who oppose the Islamist agenda ... and who are willing to actually put their safety on the line by speaking out. The film was produced with taxpayer dollars --- about 600,000 of them -- and was supposed to be a part of a series on PBS. Now PBS isn't going to run it. And why not? Because the film says that Islamists are working to build a parallel society and a parallel system of laws in the West. The West, for those of you educated in government schools, would include Europe and the United States. The documentary says that the Islamic radicals are intent on enforcing a strict system of Islamic law that would be imposed in selected areas outside of the framework of the laws of that particular country. So .. as I asked ... why has PBS decided not to run the film? Because, says PBS's Robert MacNeil, it is just too "one-sided." Besides that, it's "alarmist." Alarmist? Just what is the problem there? If this is the design of the Islamists why shouldn't we be sounding an alarm? And ... the laugh of the day just has to be PBS saying that they're not going to run something because it's "one-sided."All of this sure makes us look mighty strong in the face of the Islamic jihad, doesn't it? Here's your story.
Harry's War:
We're going to pick up Senate seats as a result of this war. Senator Schumer has shown me numbers that are compelling and astounding. --Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, April 12.
Gen. David Petraeus is in Washington this week, where on Monday he briefed President Bush on the progress of the new military strategy in Iraq. Today he will give similar briefings on Capitol Hill, but maybe he should save his breath. As fellow four-star Harry Reid recently informed America, the war Gen. Petraeus is fighting and trying to win is already "lost." Mr. Reid has since tried to "clarify" that remark, and in a speech Monday he laid out his own strategy for Iraq. But perhaps we ought to be grateful for his earlier candor in laying out the strategic judgment--and nakedly political rationale--that underlies the latest Congressional bid to force a withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq starting this fall. By doing so, he and the Democrats are taking ownership of whatever ugly outcome follows a U.S. defeat in Iraq.
This isn't to say that the Administration hasn't made its share of major blunders in this war. But at least Mr. Bush and his commanders are now trying to make up for these mistakes with a strategy to put Prime Minister Maliki's government on a stronger footing, secure Baghdad and the Sunni provinces against al Qaeda and allow for an eventual, honorable, U.S. withdrawal. That's more than can be said for Mr. Reid and the Democratic left, who are making the job for our troops more difficult by undermining U.S. morale and Iraqi confidence in American support.
The more I listen to The Land Speculator (D) The Strip and Jack Murtha, the more I believe it. A defeat in Iraq only benefits Democrats...
