IF WE LET EUROPE DECIDE

To say that Europeans are fond of Barack Obama would be an understatement. It seems that he has reached the same level of adulation and worship as he has in the United States. So when asked who Europeans would prefer to see elected as the next US president, it is no surprise that citizens of France, Germany and the UK all chose Barack Obama ... by a landslide. In the UK, Obama was favored 60-15. In France, 64-4. And in Germany, they chose Barack Obama by a margin of 62-10 over John McCain. Frankly, I'm surprised that the numbers were this low.

Now if it were up to people like Barack Obama, the opinions of these foreign countries would matter. Remember Obama's thermostat comment ... "We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK." What does it matter what other countries think about our habits? In fact, what business is it of our president? But the Europeans sure can't wait for this guy to be in power.

Now here's something that you won't hear from any of the networks when it comes to analyzing the European infatuation over Obama. Several months ago the Pew Research Center did some polling in Europe. That polling showed that 58 percent of Europeans want the United States to be weakened. They want a weaker America. Oddly, that 58 percent figure is pretty close to the margin for Obama. So how are you going to feel about European attitudes about our presidential election if you walk up to someone on the street and have this dialogue:

"Would you like the United States to be weaker or stronger."

"Weaker."

"Who do you support, then, for president?"

"Barack Obama"

Does anyone care to look into the motives behind this European love affair with The Messiah?

JUST CAN'T WAIT TO GET THAT NATIONALIZED HEALTH CARE

Oh yes .. this is going to be so wonderful. What a thrill. But ... the people demand that the government take care of them, and the politicians are only thrilled to respond if it means they can keep their precious positions of power.

Three stores came our way in just the last two days. The first was of a woman in Britain who was diagnosed with a small melanoma – skin cancer. Just a small spot. Problem was, it took her a few months to see a specialist to get it removed. By then it had spread and now she's going through the chemotherapy thing. May not survive. My own experience in this country – you know, the country with the hideous health care system – was somewhat different. The lady what cuts my hairs told me she saw a spot on my noggin that she didn't like. Within one hour I was being looked at by a specialist. But then again, we don't have that wonderful national health care scheme they have in the UK.

Then there a story I saw last night on Fox News. This time it is Canada. You know how much liberals love to brag about Canada. Preliminary tests show that this young teenage girl has a budding tumor in her brain. She's now waiting for an MRI. Can't get an appointment for five weeks. Then, after the MRI, it is going to take another four to five months to get an appointment with a specialist to read the MRI an recommend a course of action. In the meantime this girl is suffering blackouts and cannot go to school. We just don't know what we're missing down here without this wonderful Canadian health care system looking over us.

Back to the UK. Another woman diagnosed with cancer. Her problem isn't a wait. Her problem is that she just flat can't get the operation. They're telling her that at 61 she's just too old. The health care services she seeks will be better spent on someone with longer to live.

But you folks pay no attention to these stores. Rationing won't happen here. There will be no months-long waits to have a melanoma removed. You'll be able to get an MRI within hours, or at least by the next day, if needed. After all .. this is the U.S. government we're talking about. A model of efficiency. Our national health care is just going to be paradise on earth. If you don't believe me you just go check out the emergency room of your local charity hospital. Look at all of the people there waiting to be treated for something that a spoonful of cough medicine or a squirt of Neosporin could cure. That ought to convince you.

GUESS WHICH CANDIDATE WILL WIN THE HOMELESS VOTE

Apparently Barack Obama can count on a newly empowered class of voter: the homeless. Michael Stoops, the executive director of the National Coalition of the Homeless says, "Low income and homeless people are more energized than I have ever seen before."

Well ... they're that damned energized, tell them to go out and get a job!

The mentality from those in the homeless industry is that if you are homeless you care more about who gets elected because your life depends on your ability to live the life of a parasite. A tick. And if some politician comes along that is going to make you work to earn a living, then the homeless must make sure that person is not elected. The only work a tick wants to do is whatever it takes to find a host who's blood they can feast on.

Now, imagine that you are a homeless person. And you somehow finagled your way into the voting booth (without a permanent address or proof of ID) ... which candidate would you vote for? The candidate who wants to privatize the healthcare sector, supports a free-market economy, and preaches self reliance. Or the candidate who wants to redistribute the wealth by taxing the hell out of the evil rich to make sure that everybody has their "fair share." My guess is that you will go with option #2, which leaves you with Barack Obama.

How about an example? Shera Greenwich, a mother of two who lives in a shelter in New York City says, "I see so much change in the future if Obama is elected President ... I think he can get America back on track." Well, even a homeless person has managed to pick up on Obama's message ... change. That's it. This woman actually believes that if Barack Obama is elected president, she will no longer be homeless and that America will get back on track. What track? How about the lovely Shera getting her own (undoubtedly) fat tail back on track? She's sitting around waiting for someone – Barack Obama – to do it for her.

Another woman, Mendy Harris from Phoenix lost her home after her husband lost his job. She says, "I want to try to get security for my family, retirement, health issues, all of those things, to try and get myself a little piece of mind." This is what she expects the government to do for her and her family. And her husband is drinking the Kool-Aide too. Mendy says that her husband hasn't voted since he was 18, but he is seriously about voting in this election. And he will be voting Democrat. Yeah .. that government-provided-security Kook-Aide .. the favorite flavor of the parasite class.

CONFESSIONS FROM A FORMER GREENHOUSE SCIENTIST

David Evans used to be a consultant to the Australian Greenhouse Office. He spent six years with the Australian government building models about the influence of carbon emissions on our atmosphere. This was the Aussie who wrote the carbon accounting model that measures Australia's compliance with the Kyoto Protocol.

Well .. guess what Dr. Evans is saying today? Since he started working in the office in 1999, "new evidence has seriously weakened the case that carbon emissions are the main cause of global warming." By the year 2007, the evidence is conclusive: carbon played only a minor role in recent global warming and was not the main cause.

Dr. Evans put together some basic facts for the public and government officials in regards to global warming. Here is just a taste.

1. The greenhouse signature is missing. We have been looking and measuring for years, and cannot find it.

2. There is no evidence to support the idea that carbon emissions cause significant global warming.

3. The satellites that measure the world's temperature all say that the warming trend ended in 2001, and that the temperature has dropped about 0.6C in the past year (to the temperature of 1980).

4. The new ice cores show that in the past six global warmings over the past half a million years, the temperature rises occurred on average 800 years before the accompanying rise in atmospheric carbon. Which says something important about which was cause and which was effect.

Keeping that last point in mind, Al Gore still preaches in his movie that the ice cores are the sole reason for believing that carbon emissions cause global warming. Dr. Evans says, "In any other political context our cynical and experienced press corps would surely have called this dishonest and widely questioned the politician's assertion."

So instead, what do we get? The world has spent $50 billion on global warming since 1990 and yet there is no evidence that carbon emissions are actually causing global warming! It's a fraud. A fraud to enrich Gore, and a fraud designed to form the basis for repeated attacks on capitalism and free market economies.

Would someone out there please wake up?

DEAR TAMPA LISTENERS...

Unfortunately our longtime radio affiliate WWBA 1040 AM decided to take my show off the air, explaining we didn't have enough of you listening, which is absurd. I know there are thousands of you loyal listeners who have been calling and emailing this week to express your frustration and irritation over what has happened. Please feel free to let the station know you are out there and miss the "talkmaster":

READING ASSIGNMENTS

Could Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal be the one to save the Republican Party this election? Yeah, right. It's going to take a lot more than that. Something like divine intervention

Here's an article about Barack Obama's lack of experience. The title says it all: Obama Faking It.

Remember how Barack and Michelle didn't want their daughters talking to the press. Never mind. They are going to appear in People magazine. Just what this American Idol election needs.

Guess who didn't have to pay taxes to fill up on gas? The committee hosting the Democrat National Convention in Denver.

Obama's campaign plane apparently has a new name ... O-Force One. Ohhhhh ... that is just soooo presidential!

Republicans in Washington sent a letter to the New York Times asking them to allow a third party to run a full-page ad featuring the rejected opinion piece by John McCain.

Apparently Obama can't keep straight which committees he is a member of in the Senate. Maybe that's because he stopped actually working as a Senator after only 143 days. He goes back every once in a while when it will benefit his political image.

Speaking of the Times ... here's some great news. Second quarter earnings for the New York Times fell 82% from a year ago.

The Environmental Protection Agency has now released it proposed regulations in the name of global warming.

I've been saying this for a while, folks ... this phony campaign against man-made global warming isn't about the environment. It's about the economy and big government.

A federal appeals court has struck down an unconstitutional law that would force websites with "adult material" to verify the age of its visitors. Just how in the hell were they supposed to do that?

The federal minimum wage is going to jump 70 cents today ... more people can prepare to be laid off.

The people of Oregon get to vote on whether they want to tie teacher pay and job security to student performance ... and the teachers unions are furious. If the measure wins lawsuits will certainly be on the way.

Bill Gates and Michael Bloomberg have teamed up to spend $500 million to stop people around the world from smoking. Good.

There have been two good things as a result of high gas prices ... less teenagers on the road and fewer traffic deaths. Maybe they are related?

This is a very interesting take on my presentation at the U.S. Embassy in London last week – from a Muslim no less.. One problem though. At no time during the presentation did I ever refer to myself as a "journalist." In fact, I made it clear that I did NOT consider what I do to be journalism. Why can't some people listen? It's really not all that hard.

This story comes from our home-state of Georgia. Parents and school officials in Twiggs County are happy that they will once again be allowed to use paddles to spank students.

Another DRT story ... this one is from Gainesville. Gotta love it.

Here's irony for ya: An identity thief apparently used a Palm City man's credit card to charge a program used to prevent identity theft.

The optical illusion linked off the home page has been updated. We know you'll be staring at it for hours looking for the hidden image.
