 TONIGHT ... NEW ORLEANS
Last night it was Washington DC where I was honored to be a presenter at the
Media Research Center's 20th Anniversary Gala and Dishonor Awards. Today we once
again do the show from the studios at The Heritage Foundation .. .and then we
make our way to New Orleans! Now I know that the book signing at the Borders
Book Store in Metairie is schedule for 7:00, but my flight from Washington DC
lands at 6:26, so I think that there is a slight chance I may be a few minutes
late. Just sit there and read ... the car is bringing me straight to the book
store. Perhaps the folks from my New Orleans affiliate WIST AM-690 will be on
hand to keep you occupied so you won't even know I'm not there yet!

THE FINAL FOUR IS IN ATLANTA
 And, other than the tax revenue the city will receive, I don't think that there
is a way I could care less. Of all the major sports basketball is the one that
has most closely become identified with general thuggery. I take nothing away
from the athletic skills these people possess, but it would be nice if that
skill were combined with, say, the ability to comprehend this written sentence.
Almost every one of these players fully expects to become a multi-millionaire
playing in the NBA. Some will, most won't ... and it isn't going to be pretty
when it comes to that old "earning a living" thing.
Damage is being done here. Across the nation we have young boys in urban schools
glued to the tube this weekend .. through Monday night .. dreaming of the day
they'll play in the
Final Four and then hear their name called a few months
later as a first round draft choice. For about 99.5% of them it's a pipe dream.
Where are the adults to drill some sense of reality into their heads? Cheering
them on, that's where. Dreaming of their precious first rounder going out and
buying them a home and financing their retirement.
Then we have the bread and circuses aspect of this. It's Friday, and I don't
feel like ranting on this ... suffice it to say that there are many power-hungry
politicians out there who just love all of the attention being languished on
"student" athletes. As long as you're glued to basketball you're paying no
attention to they many different ways they're planning on screwing you.
The crowd may make it a bit hard to get through the airport and home when I
arrive from New Orleans tomorrow ... other than that, no interest.
HARD TO KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT
 As I type this I'm sitting in the Zephyr Deli at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in
Washington DC eating my cup of oatmeal. Just in front of me is a mother and her
daughter chowing down on bagels and croissants. The mother is fat. The daughter,
about 12 I would guess, is an absolute tub of goo. She's a fat little load with
a puffed up face that will weigh close to 300 pounds by the time she's 20. I
want to go up to this mother and tell her that she is as much a child abuser as
anyone who beats or abandons her child ... and why doesn't she do something
about her daughter's weight. And don't give me this "there's probably a medical
problem" crap. I'm sitting here watching both of then stuff the carbs down their
throats. Cream-filled donuts ... the works. Then they waddle to the trash can
stuffing the last morsels down before they throw away the garbage. As they
disappear out the door the tubby daughter has a brand new pastry in her hands.
What an episode!
THE HEARINGS ABOUT NOTHING CONTINUE
The plot thickens in the U.S. Attorney firing non-scandal.
Alberto Gonzales'
former chief of staff says the Attorney General was involved in the firings,
contradicting his boss. Who cares, right? Bored Democrats with no agenda, that's
who. And they show no signs of letting up. Once again, the Democrats are looking
for somebody's head in the administration...and that somebody is Alberto
Gonzales. Get a nice resignation here and victory will be declared. Then it's
off to get the leftist pro-Democrat media to bite on another non-scandal.
Yesterday Kyle Sampson, the AG's former chief of staff said he discussed the
firings with his boss on two occasions. Gonzales said at a press conference 17
days ago that he was not involved in the firings. Gotcha! The attorney general
is obviously a liar that must be fired. New York Senator Chuck Schumer said
Gonzales' credibility has been shattered. But remember, Democrats only worry
about credibility when they're talking about Republicans. Fellow Democrats don't
count. Just ask Bill Clinton or Congressman William "Cold Cash" Jefferson.
But a little further down in the coverage of Sampson's testimony yesterday is
this little nugget: "To my knowledge, no US attorney was asked to resign for the
purpose of influencing a particular case for a particular reason." In other
words, there's nothing to the Democrats' allegations and never was. Is this
witch hunt what people voted for in the last election? Somebody down at the DNC
thinks so.
Oh..and did you know President Bush was going to fire all 93 U.S. Attorneys,
just as his predecessor had done? He only decided to fire eight. An
inconsequential fact.
THE SENATE VOTES FOR AL-QAEDA
 The Senate approved a bill yesterday
calling for the surrender of U.S. forces in
Iraq within a year. The bill, which has no chance of becoming law. Bush says he
will veto it. On the other hand, since there's no abortion or stem cell research
provisions in the bill ... who knows? If he does veto the bill there is no
chance for an override. Islamic fascism, it seems has plenty of friends on
Capitol Hill. Knowing that Joe Lieberman would never vote for such a travesty,
you may be wondering what Republicans went along with this nonsense. The answer
is (of course) Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel and Gordon Smith from Oregon (who?
me neither.)
Check out this quote from Patty Murray, who managed the bill: "Our troops have
done everything we've asked them to do, and now it's time to start bringing them
home." It is? Well then I am sure the Democrats will have no problem cutting off
funding for the war. That will bring them home, right? Well, evidently not. Only
an artificial deadline that will never become law will do, I guess.
So what's wrong with all this? Imagine you're a solider serving in Iraq...and
you turn on the TV and see that your own Senator has voted to surrender in Iraq.
Don't you think that might dent morale just a bit? And what about the
terrorists? They will be more emboldened than ever, knowing that they're winning
the war in the arena of public opinion.
You do know our efforts were showing success in Iraq, don't you? This is the
most dangerous situation for the Democrat Party. Any measure of success in Iraq
costs Democrat Part votes in 2008. Can't let that happen. For God's sake, bring
the troops home before they can actually succeed!
THE U.N. CAN'T GET ANYTHING RIGHT
 The worthless United Nations continues to be useless. Iran goes into Iraqi
waters and kidnaps 15 British sailors, one of them a woman, and
the best they
can do is to express "grave concern." Oh wow! Grave concern! I'm sure that
really curled some beards in Iran. The U.N. originally intended to "deplore" the
hostage-taking, but Russia objected. And here we thought that Putin was mad at
Iran for not paying its bills! I guess not.
Face it. The U.N.'s response to this naked aggression shows that the
organization serves no practical purpose and should be downgraded to a Sunday
afternoon tea society.
Here you have an open-and-shut case of a rogue, dictatorial regime kidnapping
and holding hostage innocent soldiers...soldiers that were not in Iranian waters
when they were apprehended. The Brits have the GPS data to prove it. One of the
sailors is a woman, making the situation all the more outrageous. On top of all
this, Iran is parading the soldiers on TV...in direct violation of the Geneva
Convention.
And what does the UN do? Nothing. Why? Because the UN is anti-American, and that
makes it anti-Brit. It's time for not only the United States to pull out of the
United Nations but for us to kick them out of the United States. Let's form
another international organization composed of countries with elected
governments that adhere to principles of economic freedom and guaranteed rights
for their citizens. The UN? Give it Haiti. The two deserve each other.
The left always tells us we need the U.N. as a place for countries to settle
international disputes. Tell me just one international dispute the UN has
settled! It's a sounding board for third-world anti-Americanism. Nothing more.

Manuel Noreiga...remember him? The former Panamanian dictator, ousted in the
1989 invasion ordered by Bush Senior,
is headed back to his home country. He's been rotting in a prison in Miami,
Florida for the past 17 years.
In another blow to The Hildabeast,
Jesse Jackson has decided to endorse Barack Obama. With every passing day,
the black vote is
starting to slip away from Hillary Clinton...and this latest action by The
Sloganmaster drives the nail further into that coffin.
Dick Morris reports that former Tennessee Senator and 'Law and Order'
prosecutor Fred Thompson is gaining ground in the polls. Of course, there's
one small problem....he's not running for president yet. But the field is so
lackluster, even people who aren't running are tracking high in the polls.
Al Gore is almost a lock for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Turns out the head of the committee that hands out the Nobel Appeasement Prize
is a big Al Gore fan, and recently gave him a standing ovation at a speech
the former vice president gave. At least the next winner won't be a total
America-hater, so that's something.
Actor Alec Baldwin is offering to pay the college tuition of a soldier after
she gets home from the military. Baldwin says this shows he can support the
troops without supporting the war. Maybe other Hollywood Leftists will follow
his example. Probably not.
With the GOP field running a bit thin for 2008, who is a person to vote for?
Steve Forbes says if free-market economics is your concern, then former New York
Mayor Rudy Giuliani is your guy. Forbes says Rudy is a fiscal conservative
and that's good enough for him.
Democrats love to point to Afghanistan as the place where we should be fighting
the war on terror instead of Iraq. Charles Krauthammer begs to differ, saying
Iraq is the more important front, not Afghanistan. It's just not as
important...all you have to do is ask Al-Qaeda.
If you're scratching your head over this supposed Washington scandal where 8
U.S. attorneys were fired, you're not the only one.
But National Review's Byron York offers a full break-down, including an
interpretation of yesterday's hearings.
So what's wrong with America's health care system? Is it that we don't have
enough government involvement, as the Democrats insist? No, the real problem
says former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich is that our health care system
is stuck in the 1950's.
This year marks the 400th anniversary of the settlement at
Jamestown...essentially the birth of the United States.
But Mona Charen says political correctness in Virginian is hampering the
celebration...or as the politicians are calling it, "commemoration."
