According to a new Harris Poll:
  • 64 percent believe that Saddam Hussein had strong links to Al Qaeda.
  • 47 percent believe that Saddam Hussein helped plan and support the hijackers who attacked the U.S. on September 11, 2001.
  • 44 percent actually believe that several of the hijackers who attacked the U.S. on September 11 were Iraqis.
  • 36 percent believe that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction when the U.S. invaded.


At least FOX News Viewers know better.
 
Rick Santorum has been hitting the road, touting Social Security Privatization Personalization Awesomeizination. Some fine young Americans belonging to the Drexel Republicans came out in support with cheers of "HEY HO, SOCIAL SECURITY HAS GOT TO GO!"

That's the spirit... but someone should tell them that destroying Social Security is a secret. Shh.

A few days earlier, Rick was trying to explain to greedy Republicans who don't give a fuck about fags why they should hate them:

"I know there are some people who may be economic conservatives and not consider themselves cultural conservatives," he said. Addressing himself to them, he tried to explain how banning gay marriage is crucial to laissez-faire governing. "Think about those communities where marriage does not exist," he said, invoking their poverty and illegitimacy. "What you see is a model of what life would look like in a country that has fathers and mothers not wedded together in strong relationships to raise children." In poor neighborhoods, he said, there's a strong government presence, "because if Mom and Dad isn't there to raise the child, someone else has to bridge the gap, and that someone else is always the government."

It's pretty clear logic. Gay marriage will result in less marriages and single parents will cause the government to step in to raise or punish their child destroying our economy.

Oh, but no abortions.



Homophobia is fucking awesome. Shit's like duct tape, it can do anything.
 

Jeff Gannon just relaunched his blog, http://www.jeffgannon.com.

The Left was so scared of him, it had to take him down!

That man, he sure is a poet.

And he doesn't need any fancy Blog software for his blog, like the elite, well-funded left uses. He does just fine with HTML and Microsoft Frontpage.

And boy, he really lays into Old Media©:

After all, I had “no journalistic credentials” despite the fact that I had written over 500 articles for Talon News over a two-year period. I must be a plant, because there simply cannot be a conservative journalist walking on the hallowed domain of the Fourth Estate built over an old swimming pool.

...

The Left is always celebrates about second chances, except when it comes to conservatives. The only exception to that rule is when a conservative goes over to the dark side, like David Brock did. I have received many emails exhorting me to betray my “handlers” and expose their plans, citing him as the example to follow.

So nah. naah nah nah.

Jeff Gannon reprinted over 500 White House press releases for Talon News which was almost ranked the 640,000th most popular Web site in the ENTIRE WORLD. And he did got in the White House briefing room two years ago because of these articles he's written in the last two years.

Other "journalists" take a story and put it in their own words, but there is no better way to inform people on the White House's position than to just copy and paste from their Web site. He is a journalist, OKAY. You is always celebrates second chances so its time to let this guy back into the White House and shut you're mouth.
 
1 Month down, 47 left to go.
we're all pouters now

oh man

shut up, you don't have to live with him
 


A high-school junior was arrested for "terroristic threatening" after writing a traitorous short story about zombies.

"My story is based on fiction," said Poole, who faces a second-degree felony terrorist threatening charge. "It's a fake story. I made it up. I've been working on one of my short stories, (and) the short story they found was about zombies. Yes, it did say a high school. It was about a high school over ran by zombies."

Even so, police say the nature of the story makes it a felony. "Anytime you make any threat or possess matter involving a school or function it's a felony in the state of Kentucky," said Winchester Police detective Steven Caudill.


Don't worry, liberals. He won't be able to be executed, since the nature of the story makes him already dead.

Update: Fictional mass-murderer, Anthony Hopkins, is still at large. Kentucky state police consider him armed and extremely pretentious.
 

Here's an innovative solution.

Prosecutors alleged Wednesday that a well-known carpenter and former Christian school leader strangled his wife so he could pursue relationships with other women.

"It's very clear that ... divorce was not an option, that it was frowned upon by the Lord, he believed," Assistant Dist. Atty. Brandon Jones said. "This was the easier way out for him, rather than divorce." At the time of his wife's death, Martin K. "Marty" Miller, 46, was advertising himself on Internet dating sites and having an affair with a woman he'd met in an online adult chat room, according to testimony at Miller's preliminary hearing in District Court.


This guy went overboard. If you're a married man having sex with an unmarried or non-slave woman, it's debatable as to if you're even committing sin and you surely don't have to be stoned to death.
 


So, the terrorist organization, The ACLU, is now complaining that we're locking up eleven year-old children who are out to destroy America.
Satan

Children as young as 11 years old were held at Abu Ghraib, the Iraqi prison at the centre of the US prisoner abuse scandal, official documents reveal.
...
Her assertion was among documents obtained via legal action by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
...
In one case, witness statements among the released documents allege that four drunken Americans took a 17-year-old female prisoner from her cell and forced her to expose her breasts and kissed her.

In another documented incident, troops are alleged to have smeared mud on the detained 17-year-old son of an Iraqi general and forced his father to watch him shiver in the cold.

Brig Gen Karpinski, who was in charge at Abu Ghraib from July to November 2003, said she often visited the prison's youngest inmates.

She said in her interview that she thought one boy "looked like he was eight years old".
terraist

"He told me he was almost 12," she said. "He told me his brother was there with him, but he really wanted to see his mother, could he please call his mother. He was crying."

She said the military began holding children and women at Abu Ghraib from mid-2003. She did not say what the youngsters had been locked up for.
...
In her interview, she said Maj Gen Walter Wodjakowski, then the second most senior army general in Iraq, told her in the summer of 2003 not to release more prisoners, even if they were innocent.

"I don't care if we're holding 15,000 innocent civilians," she said Maj Gen Wodjakowski told her. "We're winning the war."

In other news, Michael Jackson has just enlisted in.... oh, nevermind.
 
Terri Schiavo's case has been in litigation in Florida courts for the last seven years, through 19 different judges and six courts. The activist judges and pro-death doctors testifying in the case came to the conclusion that after only fifteen years with a liquified brain, her case was hopeless, and she should be allowed to die.

Thankfully, our Republican congress saw her picture, realized she could save their asses be saved, and came to her rescue. Senate Majority Leader and heart surgeon Bill Frist says she could get better! And he adopted and dissected homeless cats in his spare time and knows about more AIDS transmission than the rest of the medical community, so he should know what he's talking about here.

Come on, it doesn't take a brain surgeon to see that Terri Schiavo is alive. Thank god our legislative branch stepped up and nullified seven years worth of medical testimony and litigation. Hopefully we'll be able to do this every time activist state judiciaries don't make extreme right-wing rulings.

But I have one question that's been bugging me.

IS THIS HOSPICE AUSCWITZ?

Teri Schiavo

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT A HOSPICE WOULD JUST LET HER DIE?!

I have a lot more to say about this, but I'm headed out to Burger King to eat a cow or chicken or some animal with more cerebral activity than Terri Schiavo.
 
I haven't updated in a while, I know. I've been busy faxing Jeb Bush, asking him to kidnap Terri Schiavo. And when I'm not doing that, I'm attempting to summon the power of The Lord through my crucifix. If I concentrate hard enough, I should be able to wield his awesome power and enact his will my own damn self.

Democrats (I call them Deathocrats) are just going to let Terri Schiavo die! Her parents have even promised to water her three times a day, but no, Democrats are going to make her ascend to heaven and spend eternity in bliss and reattain physical perfection (including the restoration of her liquid brain)!

Time to storm the citadel!
 
Scott Heldreth, "veteran member" of Operation Rescue and convicted rapist, has garnered much press after his son was arrested for violent support of Terri Schiavo's feeding tube. Once again, that liberal media fails to note when sex offenders become good, upstanding Christians.

Do you think you could be so cheery and full of the Lord's Grace during your sex-offender mugshot?

In honor of the trials and rapes of this poor family, I'd like to dedicate this song about Terri Schiavo from a pre-pubescent punk band and their manager/songwriter/dad, Attila and the Huns.

Hidden Away (mp3)
By Attila and the Huns

I see you laying there on my TV screen
I hear the words but I don’t know what they mean
They say that you are not aware of anything
But any fool can see what’s really happening

The very ones who should be looking out for you
Have done their best to make sure no-one’s helping you
Your friends and family would save you If they could
But evil’s winning over good.

Terri Marie
How can it be?
We see you laugh and you cry
How could they want you to die?

Terri Marie
It’s as plain as can be
We all hope and we pray
That there will be a day
You’ll be able to tell
the story that’s hidden away

We know your days would go by much more happily
If you could only spend them with your family
There are people who could help you out there
But you were separated from the ones who care

There’s millions of us who have heard your cries
And we won’t give up till we stop the lies
We’ll stand up for you so you’re not alone
‘till you can stand up on your own…
 
Stephen Johnson was tapped by Our Fearless Leader last week to head the E.P.A. Unlike other recent nominees, Stephen Johnson actually excelled at his job. More than that, he's been breaking ground testing pesticides on humans. Makes sense. You want to test shit out on poor, worthless, lazy babies before exposing real people to that garbage.

johnson and bush, who is hopefully not drooling on himself again

During President Clinton's administration, the E.P.A. would not consider the results of controversial trials that tested pesticides on people. But after Mr. Bush was elected, Johnson changed E.P.A. policy to resume consideration. However, a panel of scientists and ethicists convened by the E.P.A. in 1998 determined that these types of trials were unethical and scientifically unsuitable to estimate the safety of chemicals.

In 2001, the trials considered by the E.P.A. gave paid subjects doses of pesticides 100 to 300 times greater than levels that E.P.A. officials considered safe for the general public. The E.P.A. evaluated three studies that year from Dow Chemicals, Bayer Corporation, and the Gowan Company. The Bayer and Gowan studies were conducted in third-world countries, where volunteers were more readily available, while Dow conducted their study in Nebraska.

In the Dow study, human subjects were given doses four times the level that the E.P.A. knew produced adverse affects in animals. Although subjects suffered numbness in the upper arms, the Dow doctors ruled that this was "possibly" related to the pesticide. Other subjects complained of headaches, nausea, vomiting and stomach cramps. Again, the doctors in the Dow study determined that these symptoms were "possibly" or "probably" related to the chemical. But in the final analysis of the study, Dow concluded that the pesticide did not produce any symptoms. And yet the E.P.A. considered it.

It's wasn't surprising then that in October of last year, Johnson strongly supported a study in which infants will be monitored for health impacts as they undergo exposure to known toxic chemicals for a two year period. The Children's Environmental Exposure Research Study, dubiously known as CHEERS, will analyze how chemicals can be ingested, inhaled, or absorbed by children ranging from infants to three year olds. The study will analyze 60 infants and toddlers in Duval County, Florida who are routinely exposed to pesticides in their homes. Yet the E.P.A. acknowledges that pesticide exposure is a documented risk factor for some types of childhood cancer and the early onset of asthma.

Other aspects of CHEERS are equally troublesome. The participants will be selected from six health clinics and three hospitals in Duval County. The E.P.A. study proposal noted that “Although all Duval County citizens are eligible to use the [health care] centers, they primarily serve individuals with lower incomes. In the year 2000, 75 percent of the users of the clinics for pregnancy issues were at or below the poverty level.” The proposal also cited that “The percentage of births to individuals classified as black in the U.S. Census is higher at these three hospitals than for the County as a whole.”

The E.P.A. is targeting the poor and African-Americans for the study, presumably in the hope that they will be less informed about the dangers of exposing their children to pesticides, and will therefore continue to expose them over the two year period. The study actually mandates that participants not be provided information about the proper ways to apply or store pesticides around the home. And the parents cannot be informed of the risks of prolonged or excessive exposure to pesticides. Additionally, the study does not provide steps to intervene if the children show signs of developmental delay or register high levels of exposure to pesticides in the periodic testing.

Parents receive $970 for participating in the study, but only if they continue over the two year period.

Of course, the liberal media fucks up the story again. Parents of these worthless guinea pigs not only get nearly a grand but they also get to keep the camera the E.P.A. uses to film their vommiting brat, a t-shirt, a calendar and MORE.



So, know any good cannibals we can put in charge of the Food and Drug Administration? Wolfowitz already has a new job.
 
How dare activist judges take it upon themselves to interpret the law and decide that we can kill the braindead but not juvenile criminals?

proper dildo or butt plug use
James Dobson, of Focus on the Family agrees:

But the aspect of it that concerns us the most is that all the great moral decisions in this country, whether it's the sanctity of life or the definition of marriage, or what we can do with the Ten Commandments, all of them are made by the courts. Our founding fathers intended that this would be a government of the people, by the people, for the people. But now the final arbiter of every significant moral issue comes down to unelected, unaccountable judges to the judiciary.

...

And there is, you know, almost a feeling of futility when it comes to the courts handing down decisions that contradict the will of the people.

You know, we saw it two weeks ago with regard to executing minors. Seventy percent of the people disagree with that. It doesn't matter what the people think and the -- neither the executive nor the legislature will step in.

Right on, but I can't find this seventy percent figure. CNN reports that 34% of Americans support killing minors. Likewise, 28% supported keeping Terri Schiavo on a feeding tube.

Now, there are 300 million Americans. 28% of that is 84 million. How much hubris does it take for one unelected official to make a judgement that 84 million people disagree with?

Isn't this a democracy? Didn't our founding fathers want us to be ruled by "the tyranny of the majority?"

At last, there is peace in the Holy City.

Unable to join forces to stop poverty, starvation, disease or war, Muslim, Christian and Jewish religious leaders in Jerusalem have banded together to join forces over the gravest of threats. Queers are preparing to celebrate their "Pride" in the Holy City.

[M]ajor leaders of the three faiths - Christianity, Judaism and Islam - are making a rare show of unity to try to stop the festival.

"They are creating a deep and terrible sorrow that is unbearable," Shlomo Amar, Israel's Sephardic chief rabbi said of Jerusalem's Open House, the LGBT center which is organizing the celebration.

"We can't permit anybody to come and make the Holy City dirty. This is very ugly and very nasty to have these people come to Jerusalem," Abdel Aziz Bukhari, a Sufi sheik, said.

"God destroyed those cities and everyone in them," said Muslim cleric Abdel-Salem Menasra. "I'm warning everybody, God will destroy Jerusalem together with the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims."

Man, I hope we get a new Pope right quick. We're going to need a super hero to prevent world destruction from a Jerusalem Circuit Party.
 
What a Hero


COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) _ A South Carolina lawmaker has asked Rudy Giuliani to pay back all of a $100,000 fee he was given by a hospital group for a speech at a tsunami relief fund-raiser two months ago.

Giuliani donated $20,000 of the fee and kept the rest after the Feb. 9 event in Columbia.

The sponsor of the event, the South Carolina Hospital Association, said Giuliani gave back twice what they asked for and the group has no problem with him keeping the other $80,000.

But Rep. Tracy Edge, R-North Myrtle Beach, said he is upset because the speech was widely publicized as a charity event. "Nowhere was it disclosed that Mayor Giuliani was being paid for his appearance," said Edge, who wants the former New York mayor to repay the entire amount
 
Lawmakers In Fla. Back Public Use of Deadly Force
jeb bush michael savage

TALLAHASSEE, April 5 -- People in Florida will be allowed to kill in self-defense on the street without trying to flee under a new measure passed Tuesday that critics say will bring a Wild West mentality and innocent deaths.

The Florida House, citing the need to allow people to "stand their ground," voted 94 to 20 to codify and expand court rulings that allow people to use deadly force to protect themselves in their homes without first trying to escape.

The new bill goes further by allowing citizens to use deadly force in a public place if they have a reasonable belief they are in danger of death or great bodily harm. It applies to all means of force that may result in death, although the legislative debate focused on guns.

The "Stand Your Ground" bill passed the Senate last week, 39 to 0, and now goes to Gov. Jeb Bush (R), who indicated he will sign it.

"This is about meeting force with force," said Rep. Dennis Baxley (R-Ocala), the House sponsor. "If I'm attacked, I should not have to retreat."

Critics have few objections to allowing people to protect themselves from intruders in their homes but said the provision making it easier to use deadly force in public gives gun owners a license to kill. They added that the measure could lead to racially motivated killings and promote deadly escalations of arguments.

"For a House that talks about the culture of life, it's ironic that we would be devaluing life in this bill," Rep. Dan Gelber (D-Miami Beach) said. "That's exactly what we're doing."


I'm hoping the MinuteMen will form a Florida battalion and permanently deal with those threatening Cubans.

James Guckert, visionary pundit and brilliant sage, appeared on a National Press Club panel discussing "What is a Journalist?"

If you ask me, the National "Press" Club was more interested in asking if a male prostitute with atrocious grammar, a two day/$50 journalism certificate and a tendancy to plagerise was a journalist. Frickin' Liberal Elites.

Despite the hostile enviornment, Jim made brilliant points.

  1. The press is so anti-bush that the administration was forced to pay Armstrong Williams "to get a fair hearing" on No Child Left Behind.
  2. He brought the red-county map to demonstrate the point that despite Bush's win was only by 2%, that the country is actually 95% conservative. However his printer ran out of red ink, so all the counties were green.
  3. He explained attributing a fake quote to Harry Reid. He meant to say "Harry Reid speaks AS IF there are soup lines." He just left out the small phrase "as if."

Watch the highlight video. It's great.
 
President Bush could not have chosen a better representative of our commitment to International Diplomacy than John Bolton.

John Nation, new ambasador to the United Nations
Barbara Boxer shows her displeasure.
First, the evidence suggests that Bolton, while he was undersecretary of state, tried to pressure and dismiss intelligence analysts who challenged his own preconceptions.

Second, he skirted questions of whether the United Nations should have done more to prevent the 1994 genocide in Rwanda—and thus the underlying issue of whether the United Nations should play any role in such matters. (It should be added that Bolton's evasion was matched by that of the committee's members, who failed to push the question more directly.)

Third, he looked and sounded like a man at best uninterested in, and often contemptuous of, the United Nations as an institution.
...

Sen. Barbara Boxer today showed a video clip of Bolton's now-famous 1994 speech before the World Federalists, in which he uttered such classic lines as, "There is no such thing as the United Nations," and "If the U.N. Secretariat Building in New York lost 10 stories, it wouldn't make a bit of difference."
 
Finally, someone "pays homage" to the administration.

Dick Cheney the Slime Mold Beetle
Entomologists Quentin Wheeler and Kelly B. Miller, who recently had the task of naming 65 newly discovered species of slime-mold beetles, named three species after the president, vice president and defense secretary.

The monikers: Agathidium bushi Miller and Wheeler, Agathidium cheneyi Miller and Wheeler, and Agathidium rumsfeldi Miller and Wheeler.
 
I keep trying to post about Tom DeLay but it just makes my server blue-screen.

Greed and corruption make the body wither.
 
But what's their policy regarding pre-emptive pre-emptive nuclear strikes?

The U.S. military is considering allowing regional combatant commanders to request presidential approval for pre-emptive nuclear strikes against possible attacks with weapons of mass destruction on the United States or its allies, according to a draft nuclear operations paper.

The paper identifies nuclear, biological and chemical weapons as requiring pre-emptive strikes to prevent their use.

Allowing pre-emptive nuclear strikes against possible biological and chemical attacks would effectively contradict a "negative security assurance" policy declared 10 years ago by the Clinton administration during an international conference to review the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.

laura bush as the joker from batman
Also, over the weekend, Laura made a hilarious joke about Georgie's penchant for death and destruction.

"George's answer to any problem at the ranch is to cut it down with a chainsaw. Which I think is why he and Cheney and Rumsfeld get along so well.

   April 27, 2005

 

Shit, it looks like I'm going to be forced to cut my vacation short too.

There're many a soul out there displeased with the Administration's handling of Hurricane Katrina.

People are angry that in early 2001, FEMA ranked the most catastrophic disasters facing the country to be a terrorist attack in New York City, a flood in New Orleans and an earthquake in San Francisco.

[In early 2001] the Federal Emergency Management Agency ranked the potential damage to New Orleans as among the three likeliest, most castastrophic disasters facing this country. The other two? A massive earthquake in San Francisco, and, almost prophetically, a terrorist attack on New York City.

People are complaining that Bush diverted flood engineers' funding to the war in Iraq.

Yet after 2003, the flow of federal dollars toward [the Southeast Louisiana Urban Flood Control Project] dropped to a trickle. The Corps never tried to hide the fact that the spending pressures of the war in Iraq, as well as homeland security -- coming at the same time as federal tax cuts -- was the reason for the strain. At least nine articles in the Times-Picayune from 2004 and 2005 specifically cite the cost of Iraq as a reason for the lack of hurricane- and flood-control dollars.
One project that a contractor had been racing to finish this summer: a bridge and levee job right at the 17th Street Canal, site of the main breach on Monday.
[...]
The Newhouse News Service article published Tuesday night observed, "The Louisiana congressional delegation urged Congress earlier this year to dedicate a stream of federal money to Louisiana's coast, only to be opposed by the White House. ... In its budget, the Bush administration proposed a significant reduction in funding for southeast Louisiana's chief hurricane protection project. Bush proposed $10.4 million, a sixth of what local officials say they need."

People are angry that when a Category 5 hurricane that the national weather service warned would cause "AT LEAST ONE HALF OF WELL CONSTRUCTED HOMES WILL HAVE ROOF AND WALL FAILURE." that no preparations were made to try and get people out of the path of certain death.

But look, that didn't happen!

And as far as not dealing with the aftermath... well, you can't have a contingency plan for everything.

September 11th was a wake-up call. We realized we needed to secure our airlines and airports.

Who would've thought a situation might arise in which massive amounts of people would need to be evacuated, given food, medical supplies and shelter?
 
Remember Terri Schiavo? Democrats were against food and water then.

They mocked us as we kicked and screamed and cried.

And she wasn't even Black.

And now they're flip-flopping.

- Al Gore arranged for his plane, personally evacuated victims while declining interviews.
- George Bush pulled Coast Guard and firemen off duty to be his backdrop as he finally pretended to give a shit on Friday, but his never-ending smirk betrayed him. Said photo-op halted delivery of three tons of food.


- Now Rep. John Conyers wants to exempt Katrina victims from brutal new bankruptcy laws.
- Senator Rick Santorum suggests fining Katrina victims for all the hassle.


- Rumsfeld is busy preparing a party for Operation Enduring/Iraqi Freedom.
- Cindy Sheehan and the Veterans for Peace stop their anti-war tour to take Camp Casey to Lousiana and start round-the-clock relief efforts. (also, they need help. send them supplies)


- Congressional Republicans wanted a $231M Bridge to an Alaskan Island with 50 residents
- Congressional Democrats wanted to fund FEMA and give the Army Engineers the $40M they requested for New Orleans' Levees.


- Howard Dean "has suspended political fundraising for now, directing all funds that come in to the relief effort, postponed the DNC fall meeting that was scheduled for this week, and granted leave to any staff member who wishes to aid in the relief effort."
- Speaker of the house Denny Hastert misses the vote for Katrina aid to attend a fundraiser. In fact, most Republican fundraisers are still in full gear.


- Hillary Clinton calls for an independent investigation
- George W. Bush vows to investigate himself.
- Tom DeLay cancels an investigation in the House.
- Hillary Clinton says fuck the fuck off.


What is their problem? You're either for life or you're against it.

Although staunchly opposed to pre-marital sex and abortion, Hager would anally rape his sleeping wife after she suffered bouts of narcolepsy. Ms. Hager never complained, just took the large piles of money off the dresser the next morning. When these allegations finally surfaced, Hager, a gynecologist, claimed that he missed. Meanwhile, Dr. Hager has single-handedly blocked over-the-counter sales of the morning-after pill from being legal because of his strong, Christian values.

The Bush administration last year quietly rewrote the rules for allowing gays and lesbians to receive national-security clearances, drawing complaints from civil rights activists.

The Bush administration said security clearances cannot be denied "solely on the basis of the sexual orientation of the individual." But it removed language saying sexual orientation "may not be used as a basis for or a disqualifying factor in determining a person's eligibility for a security clearance."
