One more falsehood from the Obama Cadre: “47 million are uninsured”; such ridiculously overblown statements seem a hallmark of this particular Democrat-controlled government. I guess their philosophy is, "the bigger the fish story, the more people will be inclined to believe it". Actually, though, it’s closer to 17 million, and some say even less than that. Many of those are younger, healthier people, simply opting out of health insurance for the present, orth...
Y'know....I'll admit, back around election time, I was scared of Obama. I dreaded what the country might become, with such a leftist-liberal radical loon in the Oval Office and a majority party of Socilaist, liberal whackos in control of the House and Senate, as well. A party of people whose concerns have been shown to lie more with non-traditional, anti-American ideals and interests, than with advancing the cause of Americanism. It frightened me; it did. I fear...
From the Associated Press....... By NICHOLAS PAPHITIS Associated Press Writer ATHENS, Greece (AP) - An anti-tank shell was fired at the U.S. Embassy early Friday, striking the front of the building but causing no injuries. A senior police official said the blast was an act of terrorism, raising fears of a resurgence of far-left Greek militant groups. Police cordoned off streets around the heavily guarded building after the explosion shortly before 6 a.m. The shell struck ...
On April 5th, a young Pittsburgh area boy was walking down the hall when a black-and-brown painted squirt gun slipped from his backpack and sent waves of hyperventillating panic through his elementary school. Police were called and his fate was ultimately thrown to the mercy of the district School Board.

Someone may already have mentioned this somewhere on here, but I heard on the news that the Isreali navy offered to assist the Egytptians with searh and rescue operations in the Red Sea. Given that perhaps 1400 or more people were dead or dying, one would think that any offered help would be snagged up in a heartbeat. Not so. The Isreali offer was coldly rebuffed by the Egytians. At this time, I've heard no actual, stated reasons for the rebuff, but I think we all know why. It doesn't tak...
"Jill's Lounge, a Class Act". That's how the commercials go, going on to relate the salacious joys to be offered at Jill's, an upper class (if there is such a thing---"upper class" for those places usually means a $10 or more cover and $5 or more beers) strip club at the Dallas Pike Truck Stop in Triadelphia, West Virginia (a few miles east of Wheeling). To join in the Christmas celebration and get in some community work to show that they're not all naked Booties, Boobs and Hoo-has, they...
From WalMart.com's "What's New" feature...... Body in Tree Mistaken for Halloween Décor A woman who apparently committed suicide by hanging herself in a tree remained there for hours after her death because passersby assumed it was a macabre Halloween decoration. The Associated Press reports that late on Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning, the unnamed 42-year-old woman used a rope to hang herself in the tree that was located across the street from homes in Frederica, Del. Her bo...
I keep seeing images of devastation and desperation in New Orleans, and keep wondering to myself where the help is. Why do we keep seeing images of dead and dying residents holed up in shelters and on the streets, with no water, food, or rescuers in sight? What's wrong? I watch the news, but I just don't get it; am I missing something? Why, if help is not forthcoming, do they sit in the same places day after day, waiting for buses and relief that never comes? After all, if buses can trucks ...
I wish I had a link for this, but I couldn't find one. As some of you know, I clean offices for a living. When I clean one in particular, I often find, in the trash, appropriately enough, a copy of "The Week", that great liberal rag of a publication. Sometimes I take it and use it for bathroom reading, and sometimes for more practical purposes, just in case the stall is out of paper (as I'm pretty efficient, however, this rarely happens). In the June 3rd issue there was an article on how...
2,000 Demonstrate at Iraqi Bombing Site By RAWYA RAGEH BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - More than 2,000 people demonstrated Tuesday at the site of a car bombing south of Baghdad that killed 125 people, chanting ``No to terrorism!'' An Internet statement purportedly by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's al-Qaida in Iraq group claimed responsibility the bombing. A French journalist abducted nearly two months ago, meanwhile, pleaded for help in a video that surfaced Tuesday, saying she was in failing hea...
I've said before that I would feel safer with Iran holding a few nukes rather than N. Korea, who I, too, feel is more likely to use them in anger. What I would worry about, though, would be Iran's tendency to support terrorism; I think it more than likely that they just might slip a bomb or two to some whacko group with the right amount of cash, or even on credit, if they promised to use it against Isreal (or even the US). After all....though Iran probably (or maybe) wouldn't use nukes on Is...
Defrocked Priest Sentenced for Raping Boy By DENISE LAVOIE BOSTON (AP) - Defrocked priest Paul Shanley, a central figure in the Boston Archdiocese clergy sex abuse scandal, was sentenced Tuesday to 12 to 15 years in prison for raping a boy repeatedly in the 1980s, sometimes in a church confessional. ``It is difficult to imagine a more egregious misuse of trust and authority,'' Judge Stephen Neel said in imposing the term. But he turned aside a prosecutor's request for a life senten...

post deleted Is this the right way to do this? I've never had to do it.
Why in the world would the liberal whackos choose a dork like Al Franken to be their big, new spokesperson? I hated him as a kid, watching him on SNL in the 70s. I've been pondering this enigma for some time, and here's my answer: They aren't funny. They're so self-important and take their issues so seriously that they have to resort to using a pseudo-intellectual, pseudo-celebrity "comedian", a synchophantic, political-pundit-wannabe like him to present their face to the public. The Ri...
