EXCUSE ME ... BUT I BELIEVE I CALLED THIS ONE
Sometime last week I made the following prediction:
As soon as John Mark Karr arrives safely back in The
United States his former wife will come up with a photograph taken on Christmas
Day of 1996, the day JonBenet Ramsey was found dead in Boulder, Colorado, which
will show that John Mark Karr was in either Alabama or Atlanta on that day.
Well ... guess what?
John Mark Karr is now safely back in the United States,
and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution is now reporting that family members have
found a photograph taken Christmas Day of 1996 showing not Karr, but his three
children in Atlanta, Georgia. True, John Mark Karr isn't in the photo, but
family members say that Karr never missed being with his kids on Christmas day,
and that no family member can remember a Christmas when the children were this
age that Karr wasn't there.
This whole thing is unraveling faster than Clinton's "I
didn't have sex with that woman" story.
 GOTTA LOVE THE UNITED NATIONS!
 It seems that Hezbollah had a bit of
help in killing Israeli soldiers during their five-week war. The help came
in the form of nifty little
night vision goggles found by the IDF. How
many? Try 250 sets found in a Hezbollah stronghold.
Now this may come as a bit of a surprise to you, but Hezbollah doesn't
exactly have a manufacturing process cranking out these night vision
goggles. The were made in England.
How, you ask, did they come to be in the possession of Hezbollah? It
seems that these goggles were shipped from Great Britain to Iran in 2003
under a United Nations program to combat rampant drug smuggling in Iran.
So ... here's your chain of possession. From Great Britain to the United
Nations. From the UN to Iran. From Iran to Hezbollah.
Any questions?
SOME BAD NEWS FOR THE GLOBAL WARMING FANATICS
What bad news?
The hurricane season. Things aren't quite going the way the global
warming crowd predicted. There have only been three tropical storms thus
far. This is about average for the short term, but if you average it out
over multiple years this would be below average.
Hurricanes? Thanks for asking, but there hasn't been one as of yet.
None. Nada. Zip. Nunca. Averaging between 19044 and 2005 we would have
seen about 1.5 hurricanes thus far. Again ... we've seen none.
According to
weatherstreet.com the National Weather Service predicted 12 to 15 named
storms by December of this year. There were 27 last year. Now it looks
like the 12 to 15 prediction may be a bit high.
OK ... so the global warming nuts were wrong. They predicted a horrible
hurricane season. It isn't happening. So ... what's different? What
happened? Here's where you global warmistas need to sit down. Surface
temperatures on the world's oceans are getting ...... cooler. According to
a paper to be published next month in Geophysical Research Letters, between
2003 and 2005 globally averaged temperatures in the upper levels of the
ocean have cooled. They've cooled not just a little ... but dramatically.
Sea surface temperatures in the western Atlantic .. where hurricanes are
fueled ... are now slightly below normal.
Oh well. Whatchagonna do!
There's always the glaciers you can go to in order to prove your global
warming scenario.
More news. A soon-to-be released study by a Danish university says that
Greenland's glaciers have been shrinking for most the past 100 years. The
study of 247 of the 350 glaciers on Disko island shows that 70% of these
glaciers have been retreating at a rate of about 8 meters a year since the
end of the 1880s. There was apparently a real surge in glacier melting
caused by a warming of the earth's atmosphere during the 1920s.
Damned SUVs. The 1920 General Motors Yukon is being cited as a
significant cause.
OK you global warmistas. Back to the drawing boards. Surely you'll find
something new to use in your efforts to slow down the economy of the United
States.
THE YEAR AFTER KATRINA
 In one week, we will be at the one year mark since Hurricane Katrina. Brace
yourself for the media coverage...it will be non-stop. You can bet all of
the networks will send anchors down to New Orleans to broadcast from the
Ninth Ward. Expect to be bombarded with the following:
- Despite a year and billions of dollars going by, New Orleans is
still a mess. The implication is that the American taxpayer is supposed
to reconstruct New Orleans into a condition better than it ever was.
It's time to face the facts: the only thing that is going to bring back
New Orleans is private investment.
- The levies still aren't fully reconstructed and ready for another
Katrina-style hurricane. Who knows if those levies ever really were
good enough to withstand a huge hurricane? Doesn't matter ... the state
of the levies will be laid on the Bush administration in some manner.
- There will be no negative words about New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin.
Well, maybe a few ... but remember .....
- It's all still George W. Bush's fault. Remember, according to the
media and the Democrats, any injustice being committed anywhere in the
world is the fault of George W. Bush somehow.
In fact, it's already started. On CNN today we see New Orleans Mayor Ray
"Chocolate City" Nagin complaining that the Feds haven't sent enough money.
And there you have it, that's the mindset. Sitting and waiting for the
check to come from the government. Instead of getting out there and
hustling in the private sector, there Nagin sits....waiting for more of your
money. Nice going, Mr. Mayor.
So brace yourself...the Katrina pity party is about to get into full swing.
And don't forget the new Spike Lee movie about the levies, which we all know
were intentionally blown by Dick Cheney to drown all of the black people in
New Orleans.
WHILE WE'RE SHEDDING TEARS FOR NEW ORLEANS ...
.... How about a few tears for cities like Houston, Texas where tens of
thousands of so-called Katrina "victims" were sent. Houstonians are paying
for their generosity big-time in the form of increased social welfare costs
for victims who insist on remaining victims, and a Katrina refugee crime
wave that shows no signs of abating.
THE ISLAMIC DAY OF RECKONING
Today is August 22nd. Just another day? Well, not really. According to
the Muslim calendar,
this is a special day. It marks the return of the 12th
imam. We could go on and on about the particulars...but the bottom line is
it's a significant day. So what does this matter?
Well, there
has been a lot of rumor that some sort of terrorist attack might
happen on this day. Where did that come from? Do the research. There is
no shortage of radical Muslim literature stating the significance of this
particular day. Why, none other than your friend and mine, Iranian
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has suggested that today might be a day of
significance for the Islamo-fascist movement. Today is also the day that
Iran is supposed to present a response to the U.N.'s plan to diffuse the
international tensions over their nuclear program.
Iran's reply is expected to be handed over today to diplomats from China,
France, Russia, Britain, Germany and so on. Since we don't have diplomatic
relations with Iran, Switzerland will be our representative. I hate to be
the one to ruin all of the suspense, but here is what you can expect Iran's
response to be: they will tell the world to go screw themselves.
And why not? What is the world going to do against Iran? Pass another U.N.
resolution? Tehran knows there's no way Russia and China are going to
impose economic sanctions. They know the United States isn't going to move
against them militarily. The Iranians have the upper hand, as they clearly
showed in Lebanon...where their support of Hezbollah led to that terrorist
group's victory over Israel.
As for the significance of the date...who knows. We face the eminent threat
of another Islamic terrorist threat every day. By appeasing Iran, we are
ensuring that one day in the not-too-distant future, a nuclear device will
fall in the hands of an Islamic terrorist. Then we really will have
problems.
PRESIDENT BUSH STAYS THE COURSE
 Yesterday
George W. Bush gave a press conference and talked about the
situation in Iraq. He correctly pointed out that cutting and running from
Iraq would be a disaster. He is right. Just pulling up and leaving would
be like handing a nice, big present to Osama Bin Laden. Talk about
encouraging the Islamic terrorists ... that ought to just about take care of
it!
He also acknowledged the fact that Iraq has come a bit of a mess, saying it
was "straining the psyche of our country." That would be an
understatement. In poll after poll, it's the biggest source of
dissatisfaction among voters there is...after maybe gas prices. So what do
we do now?
The only way we can leave is for the Iraqis to take over. It's a tough pill
to swallow, because all of this might not be happening had we kept order
after the invasion and not disbanded the Iraqi Army. But what's done is
done. It's time to light a fire under the Iraqis and make them realize they
have to start taking over. It's time to share the pain.
And what about the Democrats? They don't have a plan. Their plan is to say
George Bush's plan doesn't work, which is no plan at all.
WHY THE "HATE" WORD?
 Time magazine is getting a lot of attention for its 10th Hillary Clinton
cover. This edition has a cover story on "The Presidential Ambitions of
Hillary Clinton." At the lower left corner of the cover you have two
boxes. You are asked to check the box beside "Love her" or "Hate her."
Now I've heard a lot of comments about this cover, but not one about the
language chosen for the check-boxes. Why didn't Time put check-boxes for
"Love her" and "Fear her"? Why not "Good for America" and "Bad for
America"?
Well .. now that I've asked the question, I'll give you the answer.
Time Magazine is solidly behind Hillary's candidacy. Come on folks,
she's been on the cover 10 times! So the editors at Time wanted to come up
with wording for the cover poll that would paint those who would support
Hillary as being full of love, while those who would not support her are
just brimming over with hate.
This is a favorite and somewhat new tactic of liberals. Whenever someone
expresses dissatisfaction with a liberal politician or idea the left will be
quick to brand that person's opposition as based on "hate." Once you have
branded your ideological opponent as being full of "hate" you no longer feel
compelled to address the issues that have been brought to the table by that
person. It's as if the left is saying "I don't need to respond to your
questions, ideas or objections because you are full of hate. I don't deal
with hateful people."
Now I'm certainly not saying that I don't actually hate people. I do. I
know it's not nice ... but there are people out there I truly loathe and
would love to send to their eternal celestial dirt nap. At the top of the
list would be child-killers, like that man who killed Polly Klass and the
Florida whack-job who kept that little girl imprisoned in his closet for a
day or so before he killed her. Having said that, I can not bring myself to
hate people who have a different view of life and politics than do I.
I believe that America is a great country because of the dynamic of
freedom ... people living and interacting with each other under a system of
law based on individual rights, responsibilities and liberty. Hillary
Clinton believes that America is great because of it's government. is that
a reason to hate her? Certainly not. It is, though, a reason to fear her
and to pray that she never fulfills her dream of the presidency.
For Time magazine, however, the choice is simple. Either you love
Hillary Clinton and you can't wait to see her sworn in, or you just simply
hate her. There's no room left for appreciating her as a human being, but
opposing any designs she may have on political power.
REDNECK SCRAP BOOK
When you have a true emergency, you
get the message out any way you can. More in the Redneck Scrap Book.
READING ASSIGNMENTS
A new book says
Osama Bin Laden has a crush on Whitney Houston and told somebody she was
the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Well, now we know Osama doesn't
get the National Enquirer.
Proving once again just how tolerant they are, some
Democrats are calling for Joe Lieberman to be expelled from the party.
If the Democrats were smart, they'd realize they have a winner....Lieberman
currently leads the polls in Connecticut by 12 points.
The Hildabeast looks like she doesn't have anything to worry about when
it comes to winning re-election to the New York Senate this fall. Yet
another one of her challengers has suspended their campaign, this time for
personal reasons. I guess New Yorkers are satisfied with their Senate seat
being rented for 2 years.
Pat Buchanan is on the warpath, promoting his book and warning that
illegal aliens from third world countries are going to take over the United
States. His book is already sitting at #2 on Amazon.com...can you believe
it?
With Joe Lieberman running ahead in Connecticut with a lot of Republican
support,
columnist Kevin Rennie says Joe is actually going to help Republicans in the
upcoming midterm election. And no one can help the Republican candidate
for Senate in Connecticut.
The threat that nuclear weapons pose in the hands of North Korea and Iran is
the biggest threat looming over the United States today, says Thomas Sowell.
So why aren't we doing anything about it? Good question.
Pat Buchanan reacts to a recent column in the Weekly Standard praising
Harry Truman and Franklin D. Roosevelt. He says there aren't many reasons
why a conservative should be praising the World War II-era leaders. He also
says the piece points out just how lost conservatism is these days.
Economic wizard Larry Kudlow says George W. Bush has one thing very right.
It's his policy of low taxes and the media is ignoring the successes that
come from it. The fact is we're experiencing a very strong economy right
now.
Democrats by and large oppose the war in Iraq,
but David Limbaugh says they only have one problem....what is their
plan? He says a simple flow chart could be constructed to represent their
arguments.
Bill Murchison has some advice for people who are none too pleased with the
current crop of Republicans running things: don't vote for the
Democrats. The alternative to what we have now is Senate Majority Leader
Harry Reid and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. If that doesn't make your
hair stand up, nothing will. |
