THANKING SOME PEOPLE
First ... thanks to the
Benton County (Arkansas) Republicans for inviting me to speak to their Lincoln
Day Republican dinner. There was, I understand, some minor grumbling
about inviting a Libertarian to speak to a Republican dinner .. but in the end I
think they were pleased. Oh ... and I got to stay in the world's largest
Embassy Suites Hotel .. and the folks at Daisy gave me a custom-made BB gun.
Then there's Tim and Kim Hudson.
Tim pitches for the Atlanta Braves and I was privileged to play in their
"Birdies and Baseball" golf tournament over the weekend and yesterday. By
the way ... we won! No thanks to me. Hard to lose when you play off
of 300 yard drives from Braves closer Tyler Yates.
BROADCASTING TODAY FROM DISNEY!
Since I'm here in Orlando .. might as
well have some Disney fun. I'll be broadcasting today from the radio
studios located inside the Disney MGM Studios at Walt Disney World. You
can come by and gawk and the ugly bald-headed New York times bestselling author
and general reprobate doing the talk radio show if you care to.
HILLARY AND THE OBAMA
"DRESSING" PHOTO
This woman is just
ridiculous. Go ahead ... you bedwetters out there can call it "hate speech" if
you want to .. but she doesn't have an honest bone in her body.
You know the story, don't
you? Over the weekend someone leaked a picture of Barack Obama. The picture
was taken on a trip Obama took to Africa. While there he dressed in the garb of
some tribal chieftans.
Perhaps the damaging thing
about this picture is the fact that in addition to wearing some nifty African
chieftain garb, Obama is wearing a turban. That, of course, makes Obama appear
to be a Muslim. So ... the picture goes to Drudge, with Drudge stating that the
picture came from the Hillary campang. What a sleazy cheap-shot artist this
horrid woman is.
Interestingly, Hillary
says that she knows nothing about the photo
"Every time I traveled to
foreign countries, I wore the costume of the country. You can find dozen of
pictures of me in different parts of the world. You can find me wearing African
outfits, Latin American outfits, Asian outfits, when you travel to foreign
countries, it's a sign of respect. What does that have to do with anything?"
She "knows nothing about
it." Right ... and the whole Monica Lewinsky bit was just cooked up by a "vast
right wing conspiracy," and she didn't know where those Rose Law Firm billing
records were either. Oh .. and she didn't know who hired Craig Livingstone, the
goon who illegally gathered all of those FBI files. She also had no idea that
her "husband" was planning to pardon some Puerto Rican terrorists to enhance
here election chances in New York. Face it, mis amigos. She's a liar. A
pathological liar. She is incapable of telling the truth. She believes that
the "truth" is whatever version of events best serves her interests.
Now Hillary is right.
American politicians don ethnic garb all the time when the visit abroad, and I'm
sure we could find some pictures of Hillary in some rather strange outfits. Big
deal. The reason Hillary's campaign linked this particular picture was because
they knew it would be a clever way to play both the race and the Muslim card.
This isn't a typical white-bread politician dressing up in a guyabera or putting
on an African robe. This is an African-American (one of the few times you'll
hear me use that hyphenated-American nonsense) politician dressed up as an
African leader .. with a turban to boot. Hillary knows that this picture will
play well to the uneducated voters she'll be depending on. One, they don't want
their black president wearing African garb, and two .. they don't want him
wearing a turban.
Hillary's campaign is
imploding. For the past several years Hillary Rodham has been working under the
assumption that this Democrat primary season was to be more of a coronation than
an actual primary fight. These various primaries were supposed to be a victory
tour of sorts .. .with Hillary gallivanting across the country accepting the
love and the accolades of the people who were to be putting her into the White
House in November. Now she's getting her ass kicked, and it's a wonderful thing
to watch.
I do wonder, though, if
Hillary is going to need to continue with this absurd sham marriage after her
White House bid fails. I also wonder if the voters of New York are going to
decide that they need to get rid of this fake New Yorker and hire a Senator who
wants to job to serve New York, and not to position for the presidency.
Mort Krondacke suggested
last night on "Special Report with Brit Hume" that Hillary may be bipolar.
Hmmmmmm.
OBESITY MORE DANGEROUS
THAN TERRORISM?
The Oxford Health Alliance
Summit has decided that governments are too focused on fighting terrorism.
Instead,
government should be focusing on obesity and
other "lifestyle diseases" that are
killing millions more people than terrorism. Well .. isn't that special. I'll
tell you what, though. I areas of the world prone to Muslim suicide bombings
I'm guessing that when you're eating in a restaurant you're a bit less worried
when a fat ass walks in than you are when some bearded Islamic goon walks in
with a heavy coat covering something.
So this conference of
prominent legal and health experts actually believes that we should devote more
of our resources to helping lard asses lose weight? They believe that global
terrorism is seriously less of a threat than obesity or smoking-related
illnesses? Maybe the best solution would be to pave the way for these slobs to
start paying more for health insurance ... or to start rationing health services
to them until they start rationing the food they eat.
BLUETOOTH BURQA
A German designer has
created a digitally-enabled burqa that has the ability
to broadcast a photo of the woman to nearby
cell phones. Markus Kison is the
creator, and he calls it the "CharmingBurka." So far it is not forbidden by
Sharia law.
How it works is that the
burqa has a digital layer that incorporates a Bluetooth antenna. This lets the
woman decide where she wants to position herself virtually. So when the woman
walks by others with Bluetooths, they will light up with a small file that the
woman chooses to broadcast. This could be anything about her identity ... a
picture, cartoon, or even sound.
You know .. I was
wondering how the ladies recognized each other when they were at the market or
walking down the street.
So this burqa isn't
explicitly forbidden because Sharia law never imagined that such a thing would
exist. But, of course, Islamic governments have tried to clamp down on
electronic flirting. In Saudi Arabia, for example, it is popular for teenagers
to send pictures of themselves by phone. Saudi Arabia tried to ban this type of
flirting using camera phones ... but demand was so high that it was eventually
overturned.
Speaking of Saudi Arabia
and flirting.
A story just recently came out
that the religious police of Saudi Arabia have
ordered for the arrest of 57 teenagers for flirting with girls in malls in
Mecca. They were accused of wearing "indecent clothing and playing loud music
and dancing" .... apparently they thought that this would capture the attention
of females.
MUSLIMS IN HIGHER
EDUCATION
Harvard University is
caving in the matters of "multi-cultural education." In order to make Muslim
women more comfortable using the gym,
Harvard has decided to try instituting a
woman-only access time for the gym.
Six hours a week, the gym will be open only for
females in order to accommodate their religious customs.
Here's what Ola Aljawhary,
Harvard's Islamic Society's Islamic Knowledge Committee officer, has to say.
"We live together in one community, it only makes sense for everyone to
compromise slightly in order for everyone to live happily," she said. "This
matter is simple: Can't we just display basic decency and show tolerance and
inclusion for people not a part of the mainstream majority?" Let's watch this
unfold. First it's female-only gym time. Then we'll see footbaths in every
building on campus. Then it will be no pork in the dining halls. All females
must dress modestly in order to not offend a Muslim ... what's to stop this
culture of accommodation from spreading? It doesn't. But it's all in the name
of multi-cultural education.
Here's another way it can
go.
Muslim students in Australia are demanding
that universities restructure their lecture schedules to fit in with the Muslim
prayer timetables. International students, many from Saudi Arabia, have asked
universities in Melbourne to change their class times. Not only that, but they
also want separate male and female areas for eating and recreation to be
established on university campuses.
When do we make a stand
and tell these people 'NOT ONE MORE INCH"?
UH-OH ... CAN'T
DISTRURB THE COLONY OF NEWTS
In England, they were
trying to build a road to bypass a town. That was until they discovered a
colony of protected newts. The great crested newts were found near the Earl
Shilton bypass. Guess how many they found? Between one and ten newts were
found in three ponds around the area.
So what's the solution?
They're going to spend over $3 million to delay the project and try to stop the
news from returning to the area. That's right. The project was supposed to be
finished this year, but now it has been delayed until February 2009. On top of
that, over a million dollars will be spent on steps to stop the newts from
returning and trapping the newts when hibernation ends in the spring.
The Leicestershire County
Council has a legal obligation to make sure that these newts and their habitat
are protected ... all at the taxpayers' expense.
Someday, my friends,
you're going to understand just how hideous the Endangered Species Act is. It
is quite possibly one of the worst pieces of legislation passed in the last 50
or so years.
DEMOCRATS AND THEIR
PORK
Just weeks ago,
Congressional Republicans
launched a website for "earmark reform."
House Republicans said it would serve as a hub for news and information about
Republican efforts to hold Democrats responsible for the earmark reform
promises. The website (earmarkreform.house.gov) has since been ordered by
Democrat leaders to be shut down. Democrats want the website moved to a
different location with a different domain name. Looks like too much
light on a subject that make MoveOn Democrats a little uncomfortable.
READING ASSIGNMENTS:
Nation of Islam's Farrakhan says
that Barack Obama is the "hope of the entire world." Yeah, that's just the
endorsement Obama needed. Thanks for nothing, Louie.
Now that Barack Obama
seems to have monopolized on the message of "hope" ... Hillary seems to be
trying to paint herself as a realist.
Meanwhile,
Hillary says "shame on you" to Barack Obama
because his campaign has "no right" to attack her universal healthcare program
and NAFTA the way that Republicans are expected to ... at least, according to
Hillary.
Two conservative Senators
has placed a hold on Barack Obama's global poverty bill ...
the question is, which two?
Ralph Nader decided to run for president
... again. This egocentric, socialist
jerk just seems to like screwing around with Democrats. Let's sit back and
watch him.
Environmentalists at
Heathrow airport
climbed on top of a British Airways Boeing 777
plane to protest the expansion of
the airport. How the hell did they get into the airport without being shot?
A General Motors executive
called global warming
a total crock of horsesqueeze.
Makes you want to buy a nice Chevy truck, doesn't it?
The government of Pakistan
has ordered
that all Internet service providers block YouTube
because it contains "blasphemous" content and material that is considered
offensive to Islam. The greatest offense to Islam is an understanding of
Islam.
Here's some great news ...
In the last decade,
the number of 16-year-olds with driver's
licenses has dropped from nearly
half to less than one-third.
There is a service out
there providing
``How is my teen driving?'' on a bumper sticker
... complete with a phone number to report erratic or dangerous driving to
parents.
The United Nations has now
taken up the cause of
feeding people bugs and insects.
Can't be any worse than foi gras.
Nicolas Sarkozy wants the
United Nations to make French cuisine
a world heritage item.
In Florida it is illegal
for local governments to use red-light cameras to issue traffic tickets. The
solution? Don't issue traffic tickets,
issue "civil infractions."
A Japanese man has been
collecting welfare benefits for years because he claims to be blind. Only after
filing a criminal complaint with the police saying he was hit by a "red car"
did someone become suspicious that maybe he has
been lying.
Here's a government story
for you. A woman's baby in Great Britain had cancer ... but
doctors accused the mother of abusing the child
and social services took away all of
her children.
Publishers in New Zealand
are banning
children's stories that reference fish and chips
because healthy food in government schools has become a serious issue.
Also from New Zealand,
there are enough names on a petition to force a referendum on a bill that
currently makes it a criminal offense to smack
your children as a part of parental
control. Kiwis ... gotta love 'em.
A man in South Korea says
he went bald because of the stress from being in the military.
Now he is considered a person of national
merit and he is entitled to a
monthly state subsidy for livelihood and other social benefits
A 16-year-old boy has sex
with a 13-year-old girl in Iowa.
Now the boy is a registered sex offender for
