DON IMUS IN TROUBLE AGAIN Looks like Don Imus has caught the media's attention again, and not in a good way. What do you think about the controversy? Listen to the comments here if you haven't heard it yet. MOVE TO THE FRONT OF THE BOORTZ LINE Always wanted to go toe-to-toe with Neal, but can't get through on the Boortz Show toll-free phone line?

It was only a matter of time, folks ... one of the world's leading scientists on climate change has called for oil company executives to be put on trial for high crimes against humanity and nature. This is what Barack Obama wants to do for working women in America ... entitlements, entitlements, entitlements. Here's a Wall Street Journal article that should put to rest the notion that oil companies should simply drill on the land that they are currently leasing from the federal government. This shouldn't surprise you ... two new studies have found that federal ethanol mandates have significantly increased food prices but have had an "almost too small to measure" effect on gas prices. Maxine Waters is at it again ... this time she is trying to dig herself out of the hole she created after suggesting that the federal government should socialize' oil refineries. Fred Thompson has some thoughts on the Supreme Court's decision to grant the right to habeas corpus to terrorists. Some global warmers dressed as polar bears were protesting the new baseball stadium in Washington D.C. because ExxonMobil has an ad inside the stadium. Government school children in D.C. may have to start walking farther to school because of high gas prices. Government schools in Scotland would not let students make Father's Day cards because they were afraid of embarrassing other students who live with single mothers and lesbian parents. This is a no brainer: One liter of fuel would serve Great Britain for a year and oil reserves would last the expected lifetime of the solar system - if efficiency in the car industry had improved at the same rate as in the computer world. Have fun with this one ... a columnist with the Salt Lake Tribune has her thong in a wad over people who feel the "need to have a handgun on their hips at all times." A listener to the Boortz Show pointed us to this letter to the editor ... clearly this person was educated in a government school. A Muslim asylum seeker in the UK was denied an award for his volunteer work after he refused to shake hands with the woman who was going to present him with the prize. An Australian man has been accused of drunk driving ... in his motorized wheelchair. A dog born without front legs gets a new prosthesis made from model airplane wheels. Cool! The Times has put searchable scans of its newspapers from 1785 to 1995 online. How's that for a time waster? At least it's educational, right? A nice piece profiling some of our soldiers serving in, or about to serve in Iraq and the stories behind their tattoos. |
