Britain to bailout Queen? Blog mentioned in article.

Britain :

Apparently, even the Queen of England cannot keep a budget, just like the English Parliament, and like the United States Congress. Then again, a Monarch not keeping a good budget & taxing the bejesus out of folks, caused the American Nation to be birthed...

NY Met David Wright to Give Kidney to Needy Child

New York Examiner
Dennis Hamm
June 30, 2009

NEW YORK, NEW YORK- The New York Mets may be looking at another injury; this one, however, is not baseball related. According to Jonathan Ellis, a representative for David Wright, the New York slugger could be headed to the DL because of a promise he made to a child.

Ellis explains that Wright had been visiting a children's hospital in New York, which Ellis refused to name, as part of the Baseball Outreach program. While there, Wright visited an eight year old child with kidney failure.

"Doctors told us that they had been having difficulties finding a donor," Ellis stated. "The kid told David that he was his biggest fan in the world, but that he couldn't leave his bed to see a real Met game because he was so sick."

The child, Justin LeVert, then asked Mr. Wright if he (LeVert) would ever be able see a Met game. According to Ellis, Wright stated that "he promised that he would see a game, even if he had to give his own kidney to make it happen."

"I thought that David was saying that to be kind. I didn't know he had given doctors blood to see whether he was a match," Ellis said. "Last night he [Wright] got a call from the hospital, and they told him that he would be able to give Justin a kidney if he chose to.

"I was stunned when he told me," Ellis concluded.

The New York Mets recently have had a rash of injuries, including their first baseman Carlos Delgado, center fielder Carlos Beltran, and their short stop Jose Reyes. Yesterday, the team dipped below .500 for the first time in two months. If Wright were to miss significant time on the field, it could prove costly for the team, which is currently only trailing the Phillies by 3 games in the National League East.

Definition of a "coup"

"a sudden and decisive action in politics, esp. one resulting in a change of government illegally or by force."

Memo to world leaders, American main stream media, and all other's who have called the Honduras situation - a Military coup, could we actually understand the meaning of the word, and how it applies to this situation.

1. The government in Honduras was legally removed by the Military, on order of the Supreme Court - in order to defend the Constitution, the Republic, and of course, Freedom.

2. Since this was a legal move, and the dictator wannabe needed to be removed - how else do you do it, except by force?

3. If this is a coup, then the New York Senate debacle is a violent government overthrow.

Then again, if defending the Constitution & the law of the land is violent Military action, I guess all of the Tea Party folks on TaxDay we're all overthrowing the government, I guess the Founding Fathers of America who were fighting for Freedom from British oppression, we're apart of a military coup? The meaning has been used so much, that some are starting to confuse defending Constitutions or fighting for Freedom - with actual fascist takeovers of government.

As we have learned with the Obama administration, words are manipulated to mean new things, for new deceptive ploys. What they did in Honduras, was not only legal, but morally right to support - as Freedom, is only natural for all men on earth, the question is - are you willing to do all to keep that Freedom? As the brave Military, Congress, Supreme Court, and others in Honduras have done.

America needs to stand with the new Honduras government, and with the Iranian protesters....or else....America's standing with and for Freedom, is gone in the wind.

Obama Quick to Condemn Overthrow of Wannabe Dictator, Students Still Waiting in Iran

President Barack Obama was swift to condemn the Constitutional and legal overthrow of a leader in a small, strategically unimportant country. This former leader of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya, attempted to force a referendum on his country deemed illegal by the Honduran Supreme Court.

When Zelaya went forward with his threats, he was summarily removed by the military, as provided by the democratic Constitution. However, the President, who seems to becoming more and more astute on foreign policy, condemned the action. From BBC:

And [Obama] said a "terrible precedent" would be set if the coup were not reversed.

Earlier on Monday, speaking in Managua, the capital of Nicaragua, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez spelled out his opposition to the situation in Honduras.

"We cannot allow a return to the past. We will not permit it," Mr Chavez said.

Meanwhile, in Iran, which holds the world's second-largest oil reserves, Obama has still to call on support on the 'democratically-elected' leader of that country. Instead, he is leaning towards recognition of Ayatollah Khamenei's dictatorship and his lapdog Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Students in Teheran are attempting to fight back against the oppressive theocracy, braving threats of death. President Obama has been very quiet on this subject, letting the students dangle.

I think we're in trouble.

Bernie Madoff Gets 150 Years

This is from the Boston Herald:

U.S. District Court Judge Denny Chin sentenced Bernard Madoff to the maximum 150 years in prison today for running the biggest Ponzi scheme in history, calling the crime: “extraordinarily evil.”

“Symbolism is important,” Chin told Madoff at a New York sentencing hearing.

Earlier, Madoff spoke for the first time about the scam, telling Chin: “I will live with the pain and torment (of hurting people) for the rest of my life.”

“I cannot offer an excuse for my behavior,” Madoff said. “How to do excuse deceiving investors? How do you excuse lying to your sons? How do you excuse lying to your two brothers? How do you excuse lying to a wife who stood by me for 50 years.

“There is no excuse for that,” Madoff told the court. “I made a terrible mistake. . . . I’ve left a legacy of shame for my children and grandchildren. I will live with the pain and torment the rest of my life.”

Then, the scammer turned to victims in the courtroom and said: “I am sorry. I know that doesn’t help you.”

The 71-year-old Madoff faced as much as 150 years in prison for scamming thousands of victims out of $65 billion. The con artist pleaded guilty on March 12 to all 11 fraud counts he had faced.

Nine of the scheme’s victims told the judge at today’s hearing about how the scam destroyed their lives.

“I now live on food stamps. I cannot afford eyeglasses. My laundry is done in a sink. I collect cans and take them to the redemption center,” victim Miriam Siegman told the court. “I now live in fear.”

Maureen Ebel addressed the disgraced financier directly, saying: “Mr. Madoff, goodness is something you have been blind to your whole life. It’s better than all of the homes and yachts you have.”

Dominic Ambrosino told the crook: “This cannot be real. We didn’t do anything wrong (but) we’ve lost our freedom.”

Michael Schwartz argued that the 71-year-old Madoff should die in prison, saying: “His jail cell should be his coffin.”

Madoff didn’t look at his victims as they spoke to him, but stared straight ahead or looked down at his hands.

After the victims addressed the court, Madoff lawyer Ira Sorkin countered that his client deserves a measure of mercy.

“We represent a deeply flawed individual (but) vengeance is not a part of punishment. . . . We do not seek an eye for an eye,” the lawyer told the court.

Prosecutors had asked Chin to impose the maximum 150-year sentence on the scammer, while probation officials recommended 50 years in prison. But Madoff’s lawyers argued for just a 12-year term, citing Madoff’s age and likely lifespan.

The disgraced financier arrived at a Manhattan courthouse shortly before 10 a.m., wearing a dark suit, a white shirt and tie.

New York-based Madoff has been in a Manhattan lock-up since pleading guilty on March 12. However, the U.S. Bureau of Prisons will move the swindler to permanent digs - possibly the Bay State’s Devens Federal Medical Center - soon after today’s court session.

Supreme Court makes historic ruling.

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For the first time, the United States Supreme Court has ruled that hiring/not hiring over fears of racial quotas - is wrong! That employers should hire employees not based on racial quotas, but because of their performance.

Once upon a time, white firefighters passed a Lieutenants exam, only two hispanic firefighters passed the exam, and no black firefighters passed the exam, so instead of rewarding whomever did the best for the promotion - the New Haven fire department promoted no-one, because of racial quotas & because of fear of lawsuit from the black or hispanic firefighters.

Well, the white firefighters fought back, and because of the 5-4 ruling from the Supreme Court this morning, affirmative action could be over forever! Job hiring will hopefully be based on performance, and by the race of ones color - fulfilling the dream of Martin Luther King.

- http://start.localnet.com/article.php?article=D994CQS00.html

Also : Supreme Court Sonia Sotomayor ruled against the white New Haven firefighters, and this is the fourth case to be overturned which she has supported, this should raise eyebrows for all in the United States Senate. Excellent news.

How Obama Has Doomed 134.7 Million People

Rarely in history has a President of the United States acted so quickly, so poorly, and so ineffectively. Not even the infamous Jimmy Carter can hold a candle to how President Obama has handled situations on the ground in Iraq, the Military Base in Guantanamo, or relations aboard the Apology Express in Europe. But no, though the "Commander in Chief" stumbled and fell throughout those mentioned, they are not the worst things he has done.

No, our Chosen One has done much more egregious things that will almost definitely cripple the lives of all involved. In his very young Presidency, there are three groups of people that the President has hurt almost irrevocably: the coming generation of children in the United States, the population of Iran, and the people of the country of Georgia.

You may be surprised to learn about Georgia, since it hasn't been in the news since Russia invaded it last August, claiming they were attacking a "sovereign" neighbor. Since then, the country has fallen from the limelight, and from Obama's mind. While President Bush was in office, he concentrated on countries that were not necessarily in the eye of the world community. Albania, Georgia, and Kosovo were small nations that the former President paid attention to, a couple of which President Obama could point out on the map. Bush fostered the relationship with them, Obama has forgotten.

But why are the 4.7 million citizens of Georgia doomed? Well, President Obama's "new" foreign policy with Russia has been, in his words, "reset." Of course, the symbolic button that the Secretary of State actually said "overlord," which is what Russia has become to Georgia. Georgia is no longer politically important to the world's most popular leader, so it is not important. Russia is bearing down on it's neighbor, and Obama turns a blind eye.

The coming generation of children, which will be the next 25 years, will have approximately 60 million. What can I say; you know it's coming. A stimulus bill, a possible second stimulus bill, the crap & tax bill that has God-knows-what in it, selling our debt to China, and (wait for it) universal health care that will not insure every one and cost over a trillion dollars.

The taxes will be unbelievable. I cannot fathom what the President is thinking when he proposes more and more spending. Does he know what inflation is? Does he know what borrowed time and borrowed money is? Apparently not.

And the saddest one of all: the 70,000,000 people of Iran. When the clearly corrupt took place, which had Ahmadinejad winning more than 100% of the vote in some regions, the President's ingenious plan was to stay quiet. Slowly, but surely, as the Media covered it and polls called for a responce from the President, Obama stepped up his "outrage."

Now, you may ask, Mr. Blog-Writer, why didn't the President speak up in the first place? Well, try not to laugh, the President believed that a tyrannical theocracy wouldn't dare to say the West instigated the revolts if he kept his mouth shut. Guess what, that untrusting government that rigged an election came out and said that we (the US and UK) caused the protests. I can't believe that a government that lies to its people and the world would even fathom blaming someone else for their problems.

Now, the protesters have no support from the United States because the President didn't see the political gain in helping them. He was desperate to keep an idiotic campaign promise to a dictatorial government. Are we responsible for the revolts in Iran? Of course not. People are rallying for freedom and liberty. But you'd be damned to find Obama saying that.

So three countries, Iran, the United States, and Georgia, have felt the hurt of a President who cannot seem to organize a speech around results, but can sure kill a fly. We are five glorious months into President Obama's administration and oh the price we've paid.

Key section of Honduras Constitution.

"Title VII, with two chapters, outlines the process of amending the constitution and sets forth the principle of constitutional inviolability. The constitution may be amended by the National Congress after a two-thirds vote of all its members in two consecutive regular annual sessions. However, several constitutional provisions may not be amended. These consist of the amendment process itself, as well as provisions covering the form of government, national territory, and several articles covering the presidency, including term of office and prohibition from reelection."

- http://countrystudies.us/honduras/84.htm

While I disagree with parts of the Honduras Constitution (Not the above portion, as it appears to be close to the United States Constitution on terms of elections & how to deal with the Constitution), this part is key to the recent news in the Nation, the Constitution clearly defines that the term of office is to never be touched at all, it is a binding amendment, which can never be touched. This is what created the whole situation today, lets recap :

Former President of Honduras wants to change Constitution, and move towards a more Hugo Chavez like government, all of which is against the Constitution, the Republic, and Freedom itself.

Congress, the Supreme Court, Attorney General, the Military, and most in the Nation were looking for a way to stall him or impeach him - as his intentions are illegal, and wrong.

A legal order to remove the former President/dictator wannabe is given to the Military, who then evicts him from the Nation, along with several members of his staff (not from the Nation, just fired him).

The Congress impeaches the dictator on grounds of abusing the Constitution, and install the leader of Congress - till the November elections as President, as per the Constitution.

All the actions are 100% legal, and they have done a great deed - as I have stated countless times before, this is defending the Constitution of a Nation, the Republic form of government, a Democracy, and Freedom from government oppression - as this dictator creep was planning.

Is America standing with Honduras? Declaring how important the Constitution of one Nation is? Nope, in fact - it appears the words of the White House, are in favor of this dictator who was attempting to destroy the democrat process, instead of the Congress, Supreme Court, Military, and the people who were attempting to defend the democratic process. So sad & pathetic a government we have today, especially in terms of foreign policy.

Note :

1.When I first heard the story, I supported the overthrowing of the dictator, on grounds of defending the Republic.
2.Then I supported the impeaching of the dictator, the actions of the Military, and other forces.
3.Now that I know the full picture, that this was an legal order to throw out the dictator - not a military coup as the media is reporting, this was a move of Constitutional, Republican, Democracy, and Freedom protection by the Congress, Supreme Court, Military, and the people of Honduras.

I support this move 100%

Also :

A coup is an overthrow of the complete government, and putting in their own person - this was an act of throwing out a danger to the Nation, and following the Constitution.

Hello to our dozens of faithful readers. As you might have noticed, I haven't been posting much lately, and have taken a job in Oneonta for the month of July that might sideline me from writing. I have a few articles to autopost and I hope that I can chime in.

So I'm off to SUCO today and will be back July 30.

Success in Honduras.

The dictator has been impeached/thrown out.
The Military has let go of the government.
The Congress has appointed a new President - via what the Constitution prescribes.
The Republican form of government in Honduras has been maintained, and National elections will be held in November - without the dictator on the ballot.

For once, a Nation actually fights against tyranny in the Southern/Central American part of the world, for once a Constitution is defended by all costs, for once a dictatorship has been prevented. This is excellent news for the world, and should provide for encouragement to Iranians - except instead of keeping their government, they need to overthrow it - and create a new Constitution, I would consider the United States or Honduras as a good starting point for a Republican form of government.

You must keep freedom, and freedom must keep you. Honduras has protected their Constitution, Republic, and Freedom - unlike forces in neighboring Nations, let this serve as an example of freedom, and being against tyranny, America's leadership & peoples must stand on the side of Honduras, their Constitution, and their successful fight against tyranny - along with support for Iranian protesters, so they to....can enjoy the freedom that people in Honduras clearly hold sacred to them.

President Ousted in Honduras

The Honduran military has ousted Manuel Zelaya, sending him into exile in Costa Rica:

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (June 28) - Soldiers seized the national palace and sent President Manuel Zelaya into exile in Costa Rica early Sunday, hours before a highly disputed constitutional referendum. Zelaya called the action a coup and pledged to serve out the remaining five months of his term.
The President and his Secretary of State were quick to voice their concerns for democracy and the rule of law:
President Barack Obama said he was "deeply concerned" by Zelaya's expulsion and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the arrest should be condemned.

"I call on all political and social actors in Honduras to respect democratic norms, the rule of law and the tenets of the Inter-American Democratic Charter," Obama's statement read.

Of course, the Honduran military acted with the support of that country's supreme court, who had ruled Zelaya's proposals to change the constitution so that he could remain in power illegal. Also of course, Zelaya is a radical leftist allied with Hugo Chavez.

Wow, the Obama administration springs immediately into action to succor a wannabe Marxist dictator, yet Beloved Leader Barrack couldn't find it in his heart to say a few "just words" when Iranians were dying in the streets under the thumb of the mullahs"

- Via the Jawa Report,


http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives/198017.php


From what Obama & Clinton have said, apparently the Constitution & freedoms of the people in Honduras mean nothing, where is Ronald Reagan when you need him?

What would you be willing to do, for freedom?

Imagine you are currently serving in the Military in Honduras, the long standing Constitution has Presidential term limits as the United States has, separation of powers, it is formed like a Republic, the system has worked - a balance between Conservatism & liberalism is working great in Honduras for the political system.

There has been many problems between big government & military coups in the long history of Honduras, however - those problems appear to be small, as the upcoming elections promise to bring about a new President, as President's can only serve one term in the Republic of Honduras.

Now imagine, the power hungry President of Honduras is putting forth a vote - which the Congress of the land, and the Supreme Court has ruled against the law, a vote which would erase term limits, as what occurred in several other South American & Central American Nations - leading to dictatorships.

What would you do? With a vote that could ruin the Republic/Democracy forever, and could establish another dictatorship just like Hugo Chavez, what would you do?

Earlier today, the Military of Honduras stormed the Presidential palace and kicked out the President of Honduras on the day of the historic day, along with the President - they kicked out diplomats from Cuba, and other communist/government controlled Nations as well.

As long as the Military gives up control of the government to the head of the Congress, as the Constitution prescribes, I 100% believe in what the Honduras military has done. A dictator pushing for unlimited Presidential terms, a friend of Hugo Chavez, and the stake of Freedom - Republic - and Democracy at stake, the answer seems clear to me - you must keep freedom, as long as freedom will keep you.

So my question, if you were serving in the Military of Honduras, the the President was pushing for destruction of term limits, a move that has been declared illegal by the Congress of the land, the Supreme Court of the Courts, the Military, and even own political members of the President's party - what would you do? Would you throw out the communists & the President to keep the Republic, Constitution, and Freedom? Or would you do nothing?

Conservatives deemed terrorists yet again.

The speaker of the California Assembly said the following during an interview with the LA Times, the hatred for Conservative talk radio, Conservatives, and Conservatism in general is sickening.

"The Republicans were essentially threatened and terrorized against voting for revenue. Now [some] are facing recalls. They operate under a terrorist threat: "You vote for revenue and your career is over." I don't know why we allow that kind of terrorism to exist. I guess it's about free speech, but it's extremely unfair."

Supposed "blue dog democrats" vote for Cap & Tax.

According to an in depth article by Stop the ACLU, 22 supposed "blue dog democrats" or fiscally conservative democrats voted for the horrific cap & tax act of 2009, the article claims that this is more important then the eight Republican turncoats - as we all knew they were Republicans In Name Only, but these Democrats are in districts that we can win in.

Lets also remember, supposed fiscal Conservative Scott Murphy voted for the legislation & our very own white Obama - Paul Tonko also voted for the legislation as well.

According to the count of the author of this article, 8 of them are in farming areas - well thanks for the added costs!

The backlash will grow, and the Senate will have only one option - not to pass this piece of junk legislation.

List of turncoat Republicans.

The House of Representatives has passed the horrific cap & tax bill by a margin of 219-212, with 8 turncoat Republicans providing liberals the majority to pass a massive tax legislation, government control, destruction of Capitalistic society, more un-Constitutional control over states, etc.

The eight GOP turncoats, are as follows :

Congressmen Bono-Mack.
Congressmen Castle.
Congressmen Kirk.
Congressmen Lance.
Congressmen LoBiondo.
Congressmen McHugh.
Congressmen Reichert.
Congressmen Smith (New Jersey).

For some unknown reason, Republican Congressmen Flake & Sullivan did not vote. And our very own liberal Obama like Congressmen Paul Tonko voted for this legislation, while the supposed fiscal conservative also voted for the horrific cap & tax legislation.

A sad day for America, as of now we have enough votes in the Senate.............

House Passes Energy Bill

This is breaking just now. The Carbon-Emission, possibly job killing, energy-cost increasing piece of... something bill has been accepted by the House of Representatives.

Why, oh merciful God, why?

From Roll Call:

The House passed sweeping climate change legislation on a 219-212 vote Friday afternoon, delivering a major victory for President Barack Obama and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to cap the first half of the year.

Obama, Pelosi and Democratic leaders had launched an all-out lobbying effort at the start of the week and were whipping the bill right up to the vote. It was unclear all day whether Democrats had enough votes to clear the package, with leaders acknowledging the vote would be razor-thin.

Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) stalled the passage of the bill for over an hour by reading the bulk of a 300-page Peterson-Waxman compromise amendment on the House floor.

He contended that no Member of the House had time to read the lengthy amendment because it was filed at 3 a.m. Friday.

Energy and Commerce Chairman Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) attempted to stop Boehner about 10 minutes into the Ohio Republican’s one-man filibuster and requested that Speaker Pro Tem Ellen Tauscher (D-Calif.), who was confirmed Friday to a State Department position, limit the time that Boehner could consume.

Tauscher, citing House tradition to allow the Minority Leader as much time as he chose to consume, declined Waxman’s request, resulting in a cheer by rank-and-file Republicans.

The cap-and-trade bill, which would require steady reductions in carbon dioxide emissions and would set a national standard for renewable electricity, now heads to the Senate, where its prospects are uncertain.

The House win was especially sweet for Pelosi, who sees the bill as her legacy project and has put her credibility on the line by bringing it to the floor without the votes in hand.

Pelosi for weeks had been cracking her whip to move the measure along after it passed the Energy and Commerce Committee, pressuring other chairmen, notably Agriculture Chairman Collin Peterson (D-Minn.) and Ways and Means Chairman Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.), to forgo markups so the measure could come to the floor before the July Fourth recess.

The Speaker effectively squashed Members, including those in her own leadership, who preferred a carbon tax, as well as many rank-and-filers who were reluctant to vote on such a sweeping bill without any guarantee that anything will come out of the Senate.

Democrats credited Waxman and Subcommittee on Energy and Environment Chairman Ed Markey (D-Mass.) for striking compromises and putting together a diverse coalition of support that included just enough Members from key districts representing coal, steel, oil and agricultural interests.

Key to its passage were deals with coal-district Rep. Rick Boucher (D-Va.) in committee and a breakthrough with Peterson earlier this week to pave the way for the vote.

But a series of smaller agreements and promises also were made to secure wavering votes, including strengthening trade provisions, adjusting regulations of the new carbon market and adding language to prevent any state from getting a windfall.

Leadership also assured Members such as Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio) on Friday that regional issues would continue to be refined in conference committee with the Senate. Kaptur and dozens of other Members have complained that other regions of the country already get excessive energy subsidies.

Republican leaders whipped strongly against the vote for the legislation they called “cap and tax,” warning it would wreck an economy already in recession and send jobs overseas.

With energy behind them, House Democrats now can focus squarely on passing a health care overhaul next month.

Joe's Babe of the Week

I don't know what happened, Joe faithful. Apparently, I spent the last week in the captivity of Nicaraguan pirates. Or at least, that what my doctors tell me I saw. Well, anyway, here's my babe of the week:

Joe's Babe of the Week: Barbara Boxer
Do you that creeping sensation you get up your back when you see something scary? For some reason I always get that in my pants when looking at this fine woman. Maybe it's because she's frighteningly pretty, or just frightening, but it's always a doozy.Mrs. Boxer is known for here for her insanity as a representative for California, but known world-wide for her looks. All Joe knows is that he's glad he's wearing Boxer shorts.

Biden does it again.................

While Vice President Joe Biden was speaking at some homosexual event last night, he made yet another gaffe to add to the hall of idiotic Joe Biden statements, and said this as he read it from his teleprompter ......that Tim Kaine is a great Governor of the state of New Jersey! One problem, Jon Corzine is the Governor of New Jersey, Kaine is the Governor of Virginia.

Joe Biden gaffe #3,451.

The last stand for American Capitalism, today.

My fellow Americans, the last stand for the Capitalistic system in America which has made this the greatest Nation & peoples on the earth, is down to the last gasp of freedom to survive in the economic market, the last hope of independence from government intervention, and possibly the last stand. Today, in the House of Representatives the cap & trade legislation will be voted on, this legislation will exert more government interference in the Private sector then every before, it will tax all Americans via rising energy costs, and rising costs of all products. It will also extend unemployment benefits for 3 long years, it will waste billions of dollars, and it will fight something that does not even exist.

Any sane person can tell you "global warming" is a farce, June 2009 has been one of the coldest in the history of New York state, last year was cold for all parts of America & the world, we have not warmed since 1998, and surprise - surprise - the Sun is producing the lowest amount of energy in its normal cycle. In the 1970's we were heading into an "Ice Age", in the 1990's we were heading into an "global warming", what does that tell you - The earth warms & cools by natural climate patterns, which the Sun controls via nuclear reactions on the Sun itself.

This legislation will kill American business forever, it will raise prices of everything, it will destroy the Capitalistic economy once & for all, all for a liberal created fantasy, I urge all to email, write, phone your Congress & Senators and plead with them to vote "NO" to this legislation, we need to take a stand for American Capitalism, it has been destroyed in the Tobacco industry, lets not let this anti-American disease spread.

Michael Jackson Dies at Fifty: Just a Word About Him

As you know, Michael Jackson, the "King of Pop" died yesterday.I have only one comment that I really want to say: while he was alive, the media persecuted him like crazy. I will not say whether or not that was justified, but I just find it incredibly hypocritical that they love him like he was their favorite son.
Seriously, MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, and even in some cases FOX are doing a total 180 on their opinion of him. Overnight he goes from a monster and a tabloid tool to our beloved King.
Where is the decency? Well, that may have died with Michael Jackson too.

The question all never ask.

When you hear of a political scandal, all are interested - however, when the scandal occurs to a Democrat - the main stream media is silent, yet when a Republican is involved in a scandal - the main stream media is outraged. I have decided to do some research, lets expose the true party of corruption.

Democrats vs. Republicans.

Democrats :
President Clinton.
Senator Ted Kennedy.
Senator Torricelli.
Senator Roland Burris.
Senator Harrison Williams Jr.
Senator Chris Dodd.
Senator Harry Reid.
Senator John Edwards.
Congressmen : Barney Frank, Gary Condit, John Murtha, Gerry Studds, Allan Howe, Nancy Pelosi, William Jefferson, George Crockett Jr., Bobby Rush, and many more.
Governors - Elliot Spitzer, Blago, Otto Kerner Jr., David Walters, David Hall, Neil Goldschmidt, Dan Walker, Otto Kerner Sr, Bill Richardson, James McGreevey, Jon Corzine, Schwarznegger (not a Republican on one issue), Patrick, and many more.
Republicans :
Senator Larry Craig.
Senator David Vitter.
Senator John Ensign.
Governor Sanford.
Governor George Ryan.
Congressman Foley.
Congressman John E. Sweeney.
US attorney Johnny Sutton.

There are many more Democrats I did not even include in this article, I am sure I missed some Republicans, however - in a full list, the Democrats are the clear winners of corruption by a two to one ratio.

Also : In respect to Senator Vitter, Senator Ensign, and Governor Sanford - they atleast admitted wrong doing, unlike some Democrats that we know.

Governor Sanford & the Republican 2012 Primary.

As I am sure all have heard, South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford has admitted to having an affair with an old friend from the South American Nation of Argentina, as a Conservative who has supported Sanford through his battle for fiscal Conservatism in South Carolina - this saddens me beyond no end. However, the sickening display of the Main Stream Media & Democrats over the issue makes me sick, as they are gleefully jumping up & down that the GOP has lost the 2012 Presidential election, when in reality - most sane voters, will realize - one man does not make or break a party, unless he is the current President.

A disgusting display as posted on www.newsbusters.org shows an AP writer trying to lump in Governor Jindal, Governor Perry, and Governor Palin all into the same category of Governor Sanford's affair, and trying to paint all of the potential GOP 2012 candidates as hypocrites or pre-determined losers, which is just an outrage. Governor Sanford did wrong by me, as of now he has committed no impeachable offense - like Governor Spitzer, the former New Jersey Governor, or President Bill Clinton - we shall see what results from this travesty.

In conclusion, the GOP is fine for the 2012 election when it comes to a deep field of Conservative Republican candidates, and media attempts to lump all the other candidates in with Sanford's mistake will backfire.

Also, I am very pleased to see Governor Barbour replace Sanford as Chairman of the Republicans Governor Association.

Headlines of the Media if John McCain were President

Mr. K recently did a piece about 'what if John McCain were President," so I figured a do a (hopefully) funny piece about potential media headlines if John McCain were President:

Senator Obama takes tough stance on Health Care, votes "Present"

Unemployment Explodes to 8%


Iran Crushes Opposition, President McCain Blindly Says They are "Bad"

"Vice President Palin Builds Giant Tower on top of Home in Alaska, States that she can see Mexico from her House"

World Peace Declared; Could the President be Doing More for Our Relations Over-Seas?

"John McCain is Old"

Sarah Palin: A Bad Mother and a Bad Person... More at Eleven
(although this one is already a headline)

North Korean Government Falls, Senator Obama States that it is "All Thanks to Him"

"How the World would be a Better Place if Obama were President"

Obama Rescinds Invitations to Iranian Diplomats, Vows He Will "Never Invite Them Over for a Slumber Party" Again

WASHINGTON- After days of being grilled over his open invitation to Iranian diplomats for July 4th celebrations, President Obama today withdrew his offer. At the same time, the President also stated that he was very "upset" at the Iranian government, and that he won't allow them over for that sleep-over party at Billy Mitchell's house this weekend either.

Robert Gibbs, speaking on the subject, tried to put the President's decision in perspective. "After it came out that the President had extended his hand to a tyrannical regime that represses freedom, he refused to withdraw his offer. However, when poll numbers came out that the public was outraged, he took back the invitation.

"But, I'll tell you what, the Iranians are going to miss out. Susie Robinson's supposed to be there too, and, like, all the kids in the neighborhood are going to be there. Iran's going to feel left out and jealous Monday at school."

The President himself also stated that Iran's iron fist has caused it to "miss out on staying up late, eating junk food, and watching movies."

Mahmud Ahmadinejad, the "President" of Iran, released a statement condemning the United States. Speaking through a translator, Ahmadinejad stated that "he didn't want to go anyway," and that he was "too cool for that party anyway."

"I don't like Billy Mitchell, anyway," he added.

The consequences of Obama's decision to disinvite Iran are yet to be fully gauged, but analysts project that Iran's popularity in James Polk Middle School will totally take a hit.

Iran's Electoral Body: No Annulment of Vote, "No Major Fraud"

This stuff has got to make you either laugh or cry. Maybe even both. But either way, this article is from Yahoo! News:

CAIRO – Iran's top electoral body said Tuesday it found "no major fraud" and will not annul the results of the June 12 election, closing the door to a do-over sought by angry opposition supporters alleging systematic vote-rigging.

Since the vote, Iranian government officials have repeatedly suggested that a revote is extremely unlikely. However, Tuesday's announcement by Iran's top electoral body, the Guardian Council, was the clearest yet in ruling out a do-over.

The announcement on Iran's state-run English language Press TV is another sign the regime is determined to crush post-election unrest, the worst since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, rather than seek compromise with the protesters.

Government warnings to the protesters have intensified in recent days, with Iran's supreme leader ordering them off the streets and the feared Revolutionary Guards threatening a tough crackdown. At least 17 people have been killed in near-daily demonstrations, including at least one that drew hundreds of thousands of people.

In a boost for the embattled regime, Russia said Tuesday that it respects the declared election result, which the Iranian government described as a landslide victory for hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The U.S. and many European countries have refrained from challenging the election outcome directly, but have issued increasingly stern warnings against continuing violence meted out to demonstrators.

Ahmadinejad's main challenger, Mir Hossein Mousavi, has charged the election was a fraud and insists he is the true winner.

The Guardian Council found "no major fraud or breach in the election," a spokesman, Abbas Ali Kadkhodaei, was quoted by Press TV as saying. "Therefore, there is no possibility of an annulment taking place."

On Monday, the Guardian Council said — in a rare acknowledgment — that there had been voting irregularities in 50 districts, including local vote counts that exceeded the number of eligible voters. However, the council said the discrepancies were not widespread enough to affect the result.

Ahmadinejad won crucial backing from Russia on Tuesday, with the Foreign Ministry in Moscow saying it respects the declared election result. In a statement on its Web site, the ministry said that disputes about the vote "should be settled in strict compliance with Iran's Constitution and law" and are "exclusively an internal matter."

Russia, a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council, has longtime political and economic ties with Iran where it is helping build a nuclear power plan at Bushehr. In his only trip abroad since the vote, Ahmadinejad traveled to Russia last week for a conference where he was seen prominently shaking hands with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.

Many Western democracies, including the U.S., have criticized the way in which the Iranian government has dealt with the widespread protests, and renewed Iranian government threats of a crackdown have heightened concerns.

In New York, U.N. Secretary Ban Ki-moon urged an "immediate stop to the arrests, threats and use of force," U.N. spokeswoman Michele Montas said Monday.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has called on Iran to recount the votes, but stopped short of alleging electoral fraud. French President Nicolas Sarkozy has been outspoken in his criticism of Iran's response to the demonstrations, but said doors must remain open to continue talks on the country's nuclear program.

In contrast, China, Venezuela and some other developing countries tended to be supportive of the Iranian government, whose nuclear activities, alleged involvement in terrorism and influence in regional conflicts have alarmed the West for years.

After a huge opposition rally a week ago, protests have become smaller, but demonstrators have been more willing to confront Iranian troops.

On Monday, Tehran riot police fired tear gas and live bullets to break up about 200 protesters paying tribute to those killed in the protests, including a young women, Neda Agha Soltan, whose apparent shooting death was captured on video and circulated worldwide. Witnesses said helicopters hovered overhead as riot police fired live rounds and lobbed tear gas to break up the gathering. Security forces ordered people to keep walking and prevented even small groups from gathering.

Caspian Makan, a 37-year-old photojournalist in Tehran who identified himself as Soltan's boyfriend, said she had not been deterred by the risk of protesting. "She only ever said that she wanted one thing, she wanted democracy and freedom for the people of Iran," he told an Associated Press reporter during a telephone call from Tehran.

Severe restrictions on reporters have made it almost impossible to independently verify reports on demonstrations, clashes and casualties. Iran has ordered reporters for international news agencies to stay in their offices, barring them from reporting on the streets.

A number of journalists have been detained since the protests began, though there have been conflicting accounts. The Paris-based Reporters Without Borders put the figure of reporters detained at 34.

The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists said 13 were still in custody, including Newsweek correspondent Maziar Bahari.

The Iranian government must release all journalists and halt "unreasonable and arbitrary measures that are restricting the flow of information," the committee said. "Detaining journalists for reporting news and commentary indicates the government has something to hide."
