Fla. County Urged To Ditch Voting Machines

I see. The results of the elections were still not to your liking so of course it had to be the voting machines that were at fault. It couldn't possibly be that the voters actually voted the way they did.
Huh. I've looked at several sites and cannot find which party Mr. Lester Sola belongs to. Coincidence ? Even the official Miami-Dade Government Site does not disclose his affiliation. Huh.

I've now gone through around fifty pages trying to ascertain his party affiliation. Nothing. I wonder why that would be ?

I sent off the following e-mail to see if I could find out:

I was wondering sir, I've been trying for an hour to ascertain your party affiliation with no success. I've visited hundreds of web sites and have as yet found no mention as to what party you belong to, if any. Would you care to disclose it ? Thank you in advance.

NYC Mayoral Candidates Learning Spanish

This is disgusting. What happened to the "melting pot" ? Are candidates learning Gaelic, Hungarian, German, Polish, French, Dutch, Mandarin or any of the hundreds of other languages for votes ? No. Do we want the mess that Canada has ? A country speaking more than one official language can not for long be one country. When you move here you decide to become an American. Part of being American is speaking American English. What makes the Spanish language so important above the others ? If your culture and your former country were so great, why the hell did you feel the need to leave there and come here ? We must stop this nonsense before it's too late and the United States of America ceases to be. Maybe it's to late already.

The "Bad" Economy And "High" Gas Prices

I went and visited my folks this weekend. They live on Table Rock Lake. (Actually they live on the shore of Table Rock Lake because the house would sink if they lived on Table Rock Lake... but I digress.) The lake is rather remote from most areas of significant population. Yet there they were. Hundreds of boaters happily blowing their money and having fun. I don't recall a Memorial Day Weekend with more tourists. Despite the MSM's harping on how tight things are and how gas prices are choking the life out of us. They were there. I guess none of them read about how hard things are today. They obviously didn't read the newspapers or watch the television reports telling them that they couldn't afford a vacation, telling them that gas prices were draining them dry. If they did bother to read or listen to the MSM, how then do you explain so many hundreds of boaters in our little stretch of water alone ? Could it be the MSM was pushing an agenda again ? Hmmm.

A Battle Against Illegal Workers, With An Unlikely Driving Force

Mr. Vasquez, 55, a Republican county commissioner and Mexican-American in a region where Latinos are ascendant, has been on a crusade against illegal immigration, what he calls "an imminent invasion" from south of the border.

Huh. I guess Mr. Vasquez is a racist against his own race ? I wonder what the Moonbats will say about this ?

He has also sent a bill to the Mexican government for more than $2 million; that is the cost, he said, of Mexicans who are in the county illegally.

I like this guy !

Protests Hit Illegal Immigration Summit

More than 150 demonstrators used placards and bullhorns and waved Mexican flags to get their message out: "Racists, go home!" they screamed. "They're creating division among Americans," he said. "We don't need it."

Ah yes, the ever boring "Race Card". It doesn't matter that they're breaking the law, it's race that's the real issue. Typical Moonbat speak. If you can't when an argument logically, accuse the opposition of racism.

In a 45-minute speech Sunday, Gilchrist said a declaration of war is committed every time a Mexican flag is planted on American soil. "If this isn't a declaration of war, I don't know what is," Gilchrist said.

He may have a point there. See my earlier post: Mexicans Or Terrorists ?

"There is something fundamentally wrong and very dangerous about a society in which so few have so much and so many have so little"

What country is he talking about ? Most of the "poor" in this country have air-conditioning, homes, cars, TVs, radios, etc. If morons like this guy and his supporters would actually visit a third world country and see what real poverty is, maybe they'd change their tune. Not likely though. To these Moonbats, America and Capitalism are the cause of all social woes. They continually ignore that the highest standards of living per capita are in Capitalistic societies. Their boring "Blame America" mantra ignores the inconvenient fact that the areas on the planet that have the worst conditions did so long before America even existed. It's like Dr. Savage says, "Liberalism is a mental disease."

Suspect Caught Next to Wanted Poster

Reid: Deal Could Bring Bipartisanship

What a crock. Bipartisanship ? Is that why they're Forcing a delay on the Bolton final vote ? Is that why they refuse to participate on the Medicaid Commission ?

"Americans are sick and tired of getting caught in the crossfire of partisan sniping," Reid said Thursday in a speech at the National Press Club. "Americans want us to put the commonsense center ahead of nonsense."

Within hours of the speech, Reid and other Democrats voted to block a final confirmation vote on John R. Bolton's nomination as U.N. ambassador, and Majority Leader Bill Frist fired back.

"Some 72 hours after hailing an agreement that sought to end partisan filibusters, the Democrats have launched yet another partisan filibuster," he said in a written statement. "Actions speak volumes, and so does inaction. Given the chance to advance the cause of comity in the Senate, the Democrats have chosen partisan confrontation over cooperation. And rather than working to advance America's agenda and act by voting on the floor, the Democrats keep stepping on the brake."

It seems to me that the partisan sniper is Reid.

"John Bolton, the very first issue we turned to, we got what looks to me like a filibuster," Frist said. "It certainly sounds like a filibuster ... it quacks like a filibuster."

I love that quote.

Oh, I See... Blame The Bush Administration For Newsweak's Crap

With respect, who made you the editor of Newsweek? Do you think it's appropriate for you, at that podium, speaking with the authority of the President of the United States, to tell an American magazine what they should print?

Uh... when it's a lie and it damages our country's interests immeasurably... F'ing A Right !

You're pressuring them.

He should.

Q Are you asking them to write a story about how great the American military is; is that what you're saying here?

MR. McCLELLAN: Elisabeth, let me finish my sentence. Our military --

Q You've already said what you're -- I know what -- how it ends.

Oh ! That's good objective reporting. You don't care what he has to say. You can't accept anything other than what your arrogant Moonbat mind has already concluded. Due to your powers of telepathy you knew what he was going to say. Great "Journalist". The Whitehouse and the entire country; hell the entire world has a right to demand a full explanation for how, based on one source, Newsweak could print a story that was obviously aimed at not only damaging the current Administration, but our military and our Country. And this Elisabeth had the audacity to defend Newsweak ? What they did was indefeasible. Especially looking at their history of suppressing stories that were true.

The audacity and arrogance of the MSM is unbelievable. Newsweak releases an unconfirmed story that seriously damages this country; a story that they have no proof of and this "Reporter" attacks the Bush Administration for demanding the truth ? For demanding accountability ? What ? The press can publish anything they want as fact ? Last time I read the definition of libel, they can't. They should be held accountable and the Whitehouse should demand that they be held accountable. Is this where the MSM is today ? Where even when a story is published that is a fabrication they side with the liars ? They blame everyone but the liars ? I thought they claimed their profession was in uncovering the truth, not defending those that report lies. And they wonder why their ratings continue to plummet.

Read the entire transcript. It's amazing how petty, self-serving and self-centered these "journalists" are. They look at the Bush Administration as the "Bad Guy" here. It's mind boggling.

Poll: U.S. divided on same-sex marriage

Huh. That's funny. Just last year voters in eleven states didn't seem very divided.

In the four Southern states, the amendments received at least three-quarters of the votes, including 86 percent in Mississippi; the closest outcome besides Oregon was in Michigan, where the ban got 59 percent.

So what's this nonsense about ? The MSM is trying to tell us yet again that we don't think what we think we think... I think.

More On (Moron ?) Newsweak's Craporting

In the wake of the deaths and riots caused by their previous report, Newsweek exhibits what can only be described as criminal behavior with the concluding paragraphs of their current story, printing additional unproven claims of Qur'an-flushing

These bastards need to be taken down. Now.

Good Point... Almost

Drop a crucifix in a glass of urine, and its art.Complain about it, and the left tells you that you are a phillistine. Drop a Koran in a urinal, its desecration and cause for bloodshed. Point out that many Muslims are overreacting, and the left tells you that you are a culturally insensitive bigot - Scott Free

With all do respects Mr. Miracle... the Koran was never dropped down a toilet !

My Letter To Newsweak

Feel free to embellish.


WebEditors@newsweek.com
Letters@newsweek.com
I demand that you fire immediately Mark Whitaker, Michael Isikoff and John Barry and all involved in the scandalous report that left several dead and will undoubtedly leave more dead in the future. The report that your magazine ran alleging that our soldiers were desecrating the Koran was based upon one person's hearsay. You had no other evidence other than one "a knowledgeable U.S. government source". Yet your alleged "news" magazine chose to run the story without any collaborating witnesses. Your story caused and will continue to cause untold deaths around the world for the sake of a fictitious story that you hoped would discredit and dishonor our President, our Military and our Country. You should all be brought to trial on charges of slander, libel, sedition, giving aid and comfort to the enemy and treason. What your organization did goes past reprehensible. You deliberately sabotaged our nation's quest for a better world and peace with the faith of Islam. Despicable does not begin to describe your character.

Well really, it's pretty f'ing obvious now isn't it ?

22% say the government should be allowed to censor the press

The Government did censor the press during World War Two. We won that war. Funny how the wars in which we lost or tied the media filled our homes with crap about how the war was unjust and un-winnable on a daily basis. Just as they're doing now. They also were free to spread lies about the conduct of our military and suppressed the conduct of our enemies just as they're doing now.

only 4 in 10 among the public feel that way (believe the media does a good or excellent job on accuracy)

Again, with all that the MSM has inflicted upon the American People, is this really surprising ? The MSM has lied to us. Demonstrably and arrogantly. More so over the past four years than at anytime in my lifetime. How can they even pretend to be giving us the unbiased facts in any story ? They can't. They have proven themselves to be liars and collaborators with the enemy in a time of war over and over again.

journalists reported picking Kerry over Bush by 68% to 25%

Why am I not surprised ? They never asked any hard questions of Kerry, of which there were hundreds of questions that need to be answered... Let alone asked. Kerry was a traitor and gave aid and comfort to our enemy (North Vietnam for you that attended Public Schools). The MSM gave that Traitor a complete pass and endorsed him on a daily basis for President of The United States ! UnF'ingBelievable. And they wonder why the American Public is rejecting them in droves ? More and more each day ? What a bunch of morons ! LOL ! I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm pissed off at the MSM right now. Something needs to be done to stop them from spreading lies about our President, our Military, our Country. They must be held accountable for the filth they pour on us every day.

Newsweek Says Koran Desecration Report Is Wrong

Newsweak Is Responsible For Countless Deaths
They retract.
That's a big help to our country. How many Muslims will hear, let alone believe the retraction ? How many people died because of Newsweek's sloppy journalism ? How many Americans will die in the future because of new recruits to the Jihad generated by this bogus report ? Newsweek has surpassed SeeB.S. as the worst example of the MSM. There should be a full criminal investigation into Newsweek's inciting riots among other charges.
The Afghans demand an explaination. But NOT for Newsweek printing a false story, they want an explanation as to why our soldiers were desecrating the Koran. Which they weren't. Thanks a lot Newsweak. I can see that Newsweak has the same agenda as the rest of the MSM. Tear down the Bush Administration. Tear down our military. Tear down our country. Destroy anything good that the conservative movement has done simply because it was Conservatives that made good happen. No matter the cost. They are beyond revulsion.
They did the same thing SeeB.S. did. They rushed into a story and wanted to believe the worst. They hoped for the worst. They wanted the worst. They needed the worst. So they printed it. Damaging our country immeasurably in the process. Traitors. Beyond disgust.
Newsweek Apologizes for Quran Story Errors

"We regret that we got any part of our story wrong, and extend our sympathies to victims of the violence and to the U.S. soldiers caught in its midst," Newsweek Editor Mark Whitaker wrote in a note to readers.

Don't believe it for a second. This was exactly what they wanted to happen. They wanted the fragile emerging Democracies of Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon, et all to be dealt a blow to make the Bush Administration look bad. Lies lies lies. Mark Whitaker, Michael Isikoff and John Barry and all involved should be tried for sedition and treason. At the very least they should be tried for criminal negligence. To bad there's not a charge for criminal incompetence.
Newsweek Apologizes for Quran Story Errors

Whitaker wrote that the magazine's information came from "a knowledgeable U.S. government source,"

Sounds kinda like that "unimpeachable source"... Doesn't it ?
Again. Anything to hurt the Bush Administration. Anything to hurt our Military. Anything to hurt America.

The issue here is to get the truth out, to acknowledge as quickly as possible what happened, and that's what we're trying to do," Klaidman told the "CBS Evening News" on Sunday.

Oh ! The SeeB.S. Evening News ! Now there's a news organization we can trust !

Many of the 520 inmates at Guantanamo are Muslims arrested during the U.S.-led war against the Taliban and its al-Qaida allies in Afghanistan.

Huh. Imagine that. Many of the members of the Taliban and al-Qaida are Muslims ! What insight ! Heavens ! This must mean that we are persecuting Muslims ! How else are we to interpret this ?

Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said in a statement that the original story was "demonstrably false" and "irresponsible," and "had significant consequences that reverberated throughout Muslim communities around the world."

"But what the hey ! It's the press and they have the right to spread filthy lies about our government and military, right ?"

"Newsweek hid behind anonymous sources, which by their own admission do not withstand scrutiny," Whitman said. "Unfortunately, they cannot retract the damage they have done to this nation or those that were viciously attacked by those false allegations."

Damned right. They should pay for this outrage.

Whitaker wrote that the magazine's information came from "a knowledgeable U.S. government source," and before it published the item, writers Michael Isikoff and John Barry sought comment from two Defense Department officials. One declined to respond, and the other challenged another part of the story but did not dispute the Quran charge, Whitaker said.

So they called only two other sources neither of which could confirm or deny the accusations and still they ran with the story ? They caused and will continue to cause untold deaths from this "journalism". They are beneath scum.

The good Captain at Captain's Quarters Take.
From Instapundit

Two points: (1) If they had wrongly reported the race of a criminal and produced a lynching, they'd feel much worse -- which is why they generally don't report such things, a degree of sensitivity they don't extend to reporting on, you know, minor topics like wars; and (2) If a blogger had made a similar mistake, with similar consequences, we'd be hearing about Big Media's superior fact-checking and layers of editors. People died, and U.S. military and diplomatic efforts were damaged, because - let's be clear here -- Newsweek was too anxious to get out a story that would make the Bush Administration and the military look bad.

Another jury deadlocked on the question last year after the defense argued for manslaughter, a crime committed in a heat of passion sparked by sexual deception. The defense infuriated Araujo's family and transgender activists who called it a case of blaming the victim.

According to testimony from the defendants' first trial, both Merel and Magidson had sex with Araujo and became suspicious that she was not biologically female.

If I had sex with someone and then found out I'd been mislead, I'd be pretty f'ing upset too. I don't think I'd kill the person though. I think the family and the activists are wrong in saying that it's a case of blaming the victim here. "Araujo" made victims out of the men as well. While the men were wrong in killing the person, he/she was cetainly not a totaly innocent victim.

Japan To Fete Russia War Victory, Still No Treaty

Did you know that technically they're still at war ? Huh.

Death Penalty Opponents Protest

Death penalty opponents set off Sunday on a five-day walk to protest the state's plans to execute a serial killer who admitted killing and raping eight young women in Connecticut and New York in the early 1980s.

As usual with moonbats, no crime, no matter how heinous deserves the death penalty.

See what this animal did.

New Silver Dollar Honors Justice Marshall

In public remarks, Breyer praised John Marshall as the court's greatest justice for establishing the Supreme Court as an equal, third branch of government. Before the Marbury ruling, justices did "apparently nothing," Breyer joked.

Ah the good old days, when the the justices weren't screwing this country.

Reid Calls Bush 'A Loser'

Huh.
Seems to me Kerry was the 'Loser'.


Come to think of it, the entire Demoncratic Party lost pretty big last election.

Dog Breastfeeds Two Tiger Cubs

A dog feeds two tiger cubs in a zoo in Hefei, East China's Anhui Province on May 2, 2005. The tiger mother, who gave birth to the two cubs on May 1 is unable to produce enough milk and the zoo keepers found a dog to act as the wet nurse.

Time Travelers To Meet In Not Too Distant Future

Suppose it is the future - maybe a thousand years from now. There is no static cling, diapers change themselves, and everyone who is anyone summers on Mars.

What's more, it is possible to travel back in time, to any place, any era. Where would people go? Would they zoom to a 2005 Saturday night for chips and burgers in a college courtyard, eager to schmooze with computer science majors possessing way too many brain cells ?

Sure, that sounds almost like fun.

Why not, say some students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who have organized what they call the first convention for time travelers.

Actually, they contend that theirs is the only time traveler convention the world needs, because people from the future can travel to it anytime they want.

"I would hope they would come with the idea of showing us that time travel is possible," said Amal Dorai, 22, the graduate student who thought up the convention, which is to be this Saturday on the M.I.T. campus. "Maybe they could leave something with us. It is possible they might look slightly different, the shape of the head, the body proportions."

The event is potluck and alcohol-free - present-day humans are bringing things like brownies

Alcohol-free ? Why would anyone want to go to that ? It should have read "Free alcohol".

FDA To Bar Gays As Sperm Donors

OK, the link is to SeeB.S. but if it's true I don't see a problem here.

The Food and Drug Administration has rejected calls to scrap the provision, insisting that gay men collectively pose a higher-than-average risk of carrying the AIDS virus

That's kind of a "DUH". The thing is, how the @!#$ are they going to know someone's Gay ? (unless they're a flamer of course)
Yeah... pretty obvious he's going to be banned... he is a member of the Film Actors Guild...

Band Banned From Performing 'Louie Louie'

Benton Harbor Superintendent Paula Dawning cited the song's allegedly raunchy lyrics in ordering the McCord Middle School band not to perform it in Saturday's Grand Floral Parade

?

The FBI spent two years investigating the lyrics before declaring they not only were not obscene but also were "unintelligible at any speed."

That's what I thought... I mean really... does anyone actually know WTF the lyrics are ?

Three Snails Thought Extinct Discovered

"Those snails and mussels have a lot to do with quality of life for the people of Alabama,"

'dem's good eat'n !

Alabama is known to be the nation's top spot for extinct and imperiled mollusks

Now there's a reason to be put on the map !

I've always said it was my favorite snail

Huh... I don't seem to have a favorite snail...

The scientists were so excited upon discovering the snails that they all started doing the "Happy Dance"... whereupon they accidentally smashed all of the snails to death...

I'm still a little unclear here... did he find three snails belonging to one species or three different species ?

Rip Scornsby, a mollusk biologist who recently won a hot-dog-eating contest at an early season’s fair in Missouri, rediscovered the “cobble elimia” and the “nodulose” Coosa River snail while diving in the Coosa River searching for a contact lens that popped out of his right eye when an oar from his rowboat hit him in the head accidentally while being moved from one side of the rowboat to the other by a mentally challenged relative

Bush Aide Urges Dems To Work With GOP

"We'd like to see more cooperation from the Democrats," Card said. "We have some serious problems in this country that must be addressed. We'd like to see the Democrats be part of the solution rather than just carp about the problem,"

That would be nice, but it won't happen. The Dems don't have anything but the same old Socialist ideas they've inflicted upon us for fifty years. Their ideas are more of the same, lots more.

Asked whether Democrats were being obstructionists, Card said: "On some issues I think they are."

Huh. Someone actually telling it like it is.

Democrats deny they are holding up progress. Rather, they criticize the president for what they say is his unwillingness to reach compromises with the minority party and his insistence on his own proposals.

The Dems are the ones that are unwilling to compromise. They refuse to discuss any changes to Social Security that include private retirement accounts. Bush is insisting on his own proposals ? Imagine that, he has a proposal and actually has the audacity to stick with it ? Any idea that isn't from the Demoncrats must automatically be dropped ? That's compromise for you.

Card said congressional Democrats have failed to provide their own plan for fixing Social Security. "It's time for them to acknowledge the problem and offer to do something about it. Because the status quo is not acceptable.

The only idea I've heard from the Demoncrats is to raise taxes. Yeah, that'll fix it.

Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., hit back. "You know, I'd like to see the president being willing to really engage in a bipartisan debate. He has said, basically: This is my plan, take it or leave it." "My idea is that we sit down and have a true bipartisan negotiation. The president seems unwilling to do that,"

I guess Leahy's thinking that most Americans didn't actually watch the President's prime time news conference last Thursday.

House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California said she was proud of her party's approach to Social Security. "They have been willing to take the heat to keep the focus on what the president is proposing. And what the president is proposing is really an assault on the middle class,"

Having voluntary control over a tiny fraction of our retirement is an assault on the middle class. Only a liberal loony like Pelosi would think that.

It's good to see some Republicans are starting to develop backbones and stop putting up with the Demoncrats crap.

The Collapse of Big Media

To many Americans, today’s newspaper is irrelevant, and network news is as compelling as whatever is being offered over on the Home Shopping Network. Maybe less.

A lot less IMHO.

Hillary Blames Bush for North Korea Nukes

"They couldn't do that when George Bush became president, and now they can," Mrs. Clinton complained to the New York Times.

What a load. Her husband's incompetent Administration started this mess and of course she blames Bush, hoping the majority of Americans are to stupid to remember what happened during the Clinton Administration and counting on the MSM not to remind us.

The top Democrat pointed her finger at the Bush administration despite a 1999 congressional finding that North Korea first obtained the capacity to develop nuclear weapons under her husband's administration, which actually gave Kim Jong Il nuclear technology in exchange for the promise that he would not make weapons.

The advisory group also warned that North Korea would soon be able to hit the U.S. with ICBMs - and blamed the Clinton administration for facilitating Pyongyang's progress.

Just so.

What Exactly Is A Cat ?

Cats do what they want, when they want.
They rarely listen to you.
They're totally unpredictable.
They whine when they are not happy.
When you want to play they want to be left alone.
When you want to be alone, they want to play.
They expect you to cater to their every whim.
They're moody.
They leave their hair everywhere.
They drive you nuts.

Cats are small women in fur coats.

Huh. So that's where the "term" came from...

Study Finds 209 Animals Sexually Abused In Sweden Since 1970s

Mostly horses

Well, we all know how horses can be, what with that come hither look in their eyes.

Authors of the report noted Sweden has not outlawed bestiality, as has Canada, Britain and some U.S. states.

Some U.S. States ? Oh, that's right... Massachusetts.

Abusers can only be prosecuted if the animal is physically injured.

Sounds fair. Besides the animals don't seem to mind.

The study found 209 cases of sexual abuse of animals, including 161 involving horses, 18 dogs and 17 cattle.

What ? No sheep ?

Norwegian Court Convicts First Woman For Rape

Happy May Day Comrades !

Activist spirit comes alive on May Day

Thousands of Communists rallied under pictures of Lenin and Stalin along with traditional red-and-white, hammer-and-sickle banners

Radical activists from the National Bolshevik Party and the Red Youth Avant-Garde political group fought briefly with riot police in the Russian capital

That's how I like to celibrate May Day... Bash a Commie's head !

This one really confused me:

French demonstrators used May Day to voice opinions on France's upcoming referendum on the European Union constitution and the government's decision to cancel a traditional Monday that falls on May 16 this year.

How does one go about canceling a Monday ? Traditional or otherwise ?

'Organise Or Die'
What's with the "Do (fill in the blank) or die" rhetoric liberals (AKA:Communists) use lately ? Remember the "Vote Or Die" crap from the election ? I don't recall anyone dieing from not voting.

Organise or die. Even the bible says so: 'It is not good for any worker to stand alone'.

Where in the bible does it say that ? Always be wary of Communists quoting scripture.

Man Kept Dead Mom In Freezer For Four Years

Years earlier his mother was attacked by a cat, resulting in her blood landing on the walls of their house, and he was worried he'd be charged with murder

In all those years it never occured to him to clean the walls ?
