Enjoy your 72 pigs, idiots.US forces bust network of suicide bombers
BAGHDAD, March 23: US occupation forces raided a “suicide bombing network” in Iraq’s restive Diyala province on Sunday, killing 12 men, six of whom had shaved their bodies in preparation for becoming human bombs, the US military said.
Major Winfield Danielson,
a US military spokesman, told AFP, without elaborating, that the raid was launched east of the Diyala’s capital Baquba.
When ground forces closed in on the “target building”, they came under small arms fire, Danielson said.

I'm told #7 Stop-Loss opened to only $1.6 million Friday from just 1,291 plays and should eke out $4+M. Although the drama from MTV Films was the best-reviewed movie opening this weekend, Paramount wasn't expecting much because no Iraq war-themed movie has yet to perform at the box office. "It's not looking good," a studio source told me before the weekend. "No one wants to see Iraq war movies. No matter what we put out there in terms of great cast or trailers, people were completely turned off. It's a function of the marketplace not being ready to address this conflict in a dramatic way because the war itself is something that's unresolved yet. It's a shame because it's a good movie that's just ahead of its time."As usual, the elites in Hollyweird remain clueless. To reiterate:
"No one wants to see Iraq war movies. No matter what we put out there in terms of great cast or trailers, people were completely turned off.WTF do you mean "no matter what we put out there," when the only thing that you do put out are bilge-driven baby-killer movies or movies that badmouth the mission.
It's a function of the marketplace not being ready to address this conflict in a dramatic way because the war itself is something that's unresolved yet.Thank you, Captain Clueless, for that bit of self-absorbed, ill-informed tripe. But it is your constant drumbeat of anti-mission, anti-troop bilge that the marketplace refuses to buy.

Everyone's favorite little troll-kin, who nearly fell off the face of the geopolitical map the past nine months or so, is at it again:Will someone just go and slap this buffoon?SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea threatened South Korea with destruction Sunday after Seoul's top military officer said it would consider attacking the communist nation if it tried to carry out a nuclear attack.
"Our military will not sit idle until warmongers launch a pre-emptive strike," the North's official Korean Central News agency said. "Everything will be in ashes, not just a sea of fire, if our advanced pre-emptive strike once begins."
The statement, issued by an unidentified military commentator, marked the third straight day of bellicose rhetoric from North Korea, which is angry over the harsher line South Korea's new president has taken against Pyongyang since assuming office last month.
On Friday North Korea test-fired a barrage of missiles into the sea and warned that it would "mercilessly wipe out" any South Korean warships that violate its waters near their disputed sea border.

More Democrat ‘aid and comfort’ to the enemy
By Mark Alexander
From the “keen sense of the obvious” department at Harvard University, researchers at the Kennedy School of Government reported this week what anyone with a lick of common sense already knew: When Democrats and their Leftmedia instruments of propaganda openly condemn Operation Iraqi Freedom, they embolden our enemy.
The research team determined that the more strident the political dissention of OIF reflected in U.S. media stories or polls (read: “Pollaganda”), the more frequent were attacks against civilians and U.S. military forces in Iraq. Notably, in areas with greater access to international news media, the quantifiable increases were greater.
The report, “Is There an ‘Emboldenment’ Effect? Evidence from the Insurgency in Iraq,”, concludes that attacks increased between seven and ten percent following “high-mention weeks,” like the two before the November 2006 midterm elections, when Leftist political rhetoric was at full steam.
Since the onset of hostilities with Jihadistan, and particularly in the wake of 9/11 and our military response (OEF and OIF), I have written a few pointed essays about how Democrats and their Leftmedia minions lend support to our enemy with political fodder designed to appeal to their Leftist constituency.
Of course, there is a distinction between constructive criticism and traitorous rhetoric, but in time of war one must choose words to express dissent very carefully. In this respect, some notable Democrats have been reckless to the point of treason.
Until the current presidential campaign, the benchmark for spewing anti-American rhetoric against OIF was established by John Kerry, whose ‘04 campaign modus operandi went well beyond thoughtful dissent about OIF. He even poked fun at the competence of our warriors, claiming they were “stuck in Iraq.”
Of course, Kerry had plenty of experience providing aid and comfort to the enemy, beginning with his infamous anti-American activities during the Vietnam War, with his comrade “Hanoi” Jane Fonda.
Who better than General Vo Nguyen Giap, supreme leader of the North Vietnamese Army, to outline how Kerry and the Leftmedia embolden the enemy. In a 1989 interview with CBS, Giap recalled: “We paid a high price [during the Tet offensive] but so did you [Americans]... not only in lives and materiel. Do not forget the war was brought into the living rooms of the American people... The most important result of the Tet offensive was it made you de-escalate the bombing, and it brought you to the negotiation table. It was, therefore, a victory... The war was fought on many fronts. At that time the most important one was American public opinion.” (emphasis added)
In ‘04, Kerry was joined in his efforts to embolden Iraqi insurgents by a cadre of congressional Demo-gogues who continued to spew traitorous rhetoric.
A year ago, I participated in high-level security briefings with CENTCOM and SOCOM commanders, one of whom discussed the topic “Media as Terrain” —how our adversaries use the media as a battleground.
Shortly after that briefing, I penned an essay that pointedly condemned Democrats for aiding and abetting the enemy. In “Memo to the American Media from Sheikh Muhammad al-Zawahiri,” I focused on a most revealing quote: “I say to you: that we are in a battle, and that more than half of this battle is taking place in the battlefield of the media.” That quote was part of an intercepted and authenticated communiqué from Osama bin Laden’s chief lieutenant to the now-departed Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
Read that quote again, and let it sink in.
Yet Democrats and their media organs continue to crank out cover stories like “We’re losing” from Newsweek.
Indeed, Islamist leaders must be thrilled by the support they receive from America’s “useful idiots,” those card-carrying apologists for a socialist political and economic agenda—essentially, advocates for Marxist-Leninist-Maoist collectivism.
Article III, Section 3 of the United States Constitution notes: “Treason against the United States, shall consist in... adhering to [our] enemies, giving them aid and comfort.”
When I raised my hand in preparation to serve my country, the oath I took was to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic... So help me God.”
According to General Giap, Ayman al-Zawahiri, and now researchers at Harvard, there is plenty of evidence that Demo-gogues and their Leftmedia talking heads have provided ample “aid and comfort” to the enemy.
There is already a petition to prosecute John Kerry for treason. Perhaps it is time to add a few more Demos to th list, starting with Kerry’s lapdog, Barack Obama.

When it comes to health, Minnesota is No. 1, but the Gopher state has slipped a bit when it comes to livability. That's according to CQ Press, which is out with its list of the most healthy and livable states for 2008.
Minnesota supplanted Vermont as the nation's most healthy state, marking the first time since 1999 that Minnesota has come out on top in the annual survey. In its "Health Care State Rankings 2008: Health Care Across America" survey released Wednesday, the publisher examined 21 factors such as access to health care providers, affordability of health care and the general health of the population to come up with this year's list.

Obama Would Have Left if Wright Stayed
WASHINGTON (AP) - White House hopeful Barack Obama suggests he would have left his Chicago church had his longtime pastor, whose fiery anti-American comments about U.S. foreign policy and race relations threatened Obama's campaign, not stepped down.
``Had the reverend not retired, and had he not acknowledged that what he had said had deeply offended people and were inappropriate and mischaracterized what I believe is the greatness of this country, for all its flaws, then I wouldn't have felt comfortable staying at the church,'' Obama said Thursday during a taping of the ABC talk show, ``The View.'' The interview will be broadcast Friday.
Let's see now-- at first Obama didn't have a clue, then he admitted he did have a clue, and denounced Wright, but then he said that he couldn't disown Wright any more than his now famously-racist (thanks to Obama) grandmother, but now he says he'd have left the church that he had attended for 20 years if Wright had not retired.

Specialty loan programs give Muslim buyers opportunities
By Britt Johnsen, bljohnsen@stcloudtimes.com
Published: March 26. 2008 12:30AMIt took more than two years, but Hassan Shire finally got a loan to start his business.
He hopes to get a permit soon to build his cafe — Kushite Gourmet Coffee — on West St. Germain Street.
"It was a happy ending," he said through interpreter Mohamoud Mohamed, founder and director of the St. Cloud Area Somali Salvation Organization.
But those two years weren't easy. Shire, a Muslim, had difficulty obtaining a loan that would accommodate his faith. Islamic laws forbid Muslims from earning or paying interest.
SASSO is working with some area banks to help more Somali Muslims find success through home ownership or entrepreneurship.
Banks are creating loan programs that allow Muslims such as Shire to obtain financing for homes, businesses or cars. The programs meet American banking standards and regulations while complying with Islamic beliefs.

Good luck!

Dear people at Charter Communications:
Why, in all that is sacred, would I choose to spend $37,429.36 on "high speed internet" for life?
Let's break it down here, shall we?
At $54.99 per month, the current price for your highest internet speed, your currently-stated high bid of $37429.36 would buy nearly 681 months, or nearly 57 years of service.
Given that, note that I am:These considerations lead to a number of conclusions:
- Currently 48 years old. Which means that I'll be at the young age of 105 before I even reach the "break even" point. Even if the high bidder was a wealthy 20-year old, that would mean that the bidder would need to reach the ripe old age of 77 years old before he or she started getting "free" internet.
- That is, of course, given that the price of internet will remain constant or go higher in the coming years. Moore's Law suggests otherwise. The cost of long-distance telephony over time is a good analogy.
- That is, of course, also given that high speed internet remains in the same form and infrastructure 57 years from today as it is today. This I highly doubt.
Sincerely,
- I will not bid on this auction, given the fact that "my momma didn't raise no fool."
- I'm quite taken aback that a supposedly above-board organization like Charter Communications would actually pull a scam like this. If I could see through this ruse, then certainly anyone with half a brain, taking more than a minute to look at it, can figure it out as well. This cannot bode well, IMO, for public relations. There may have been a redeeming value if the proceeds of said auction were to go to charity; but since they are not, it is my assessment that there are truly nefarious, shady, con-man like intentions at play.
- Given your highly restrictive rules, specifically that heirs aren't able to take advantage of the spoils of "victory" should the high bidder meet an untimely demise, (not to mention that after three years, if you move out of range of Charter, you lose your $37k) stands as proof to me that you have less-than-honorable intentions in this matter.
- Given the above, as a current Charter customer, I wouldn't feel bad at all about discontinuing my long-standing relationship with Charter Cable, and Charter Cable High Speed Internet, specifically. I don't make it a practice to do business with con-men.

I was there this morning. Still no apology nor retraction. Surprising. Not.So anyway, here’s my question: When you
copy and paste a line that 5,000 other leftybloggerswrite:If bloggers are saying one thing about John McCain this week it’s that the 71-year-old has some serious grit. Of course, that grit comes in the form of McCain Mouth, a deformity that apparently causes teeth to look like a mess of yellowed and contorted Chiclets. Today, BuzzFeed.com has picked up on the mouth meme, turning McCain’s piano-key chompers into an official phenomenon.
The consensus? “They’re old.”
Well, not nearly as old as the Senator is.
Because - you do realize this, don’t you, Ms. Priesmeyer? - Senator McCain had a bunch of his teeth broken off at the gumline while he was being held as a POW. Which, of course, can set a guy up for a whole lifetime o’ dental hurt.
But you didn’t know that - right? If you’d known that, you’d never, ever have written such a deeply, disturbingly dumb piece. Right?
...that, in fact, was a good, apparently sincere apology. The only question that remains in my mind, is why was the apology issued by Steve Perry, when the offending article was written by Molly Priesmier?UPDATE: McCain's teeth -- an apology
To answer the question from GOP blogger Michael Brodkorb that kicked off the controversy about this post yesterday: No, neither Molly Priesmeyer nor I was aware that McCain had had his teeth broken as a North Vietnamese prisoner of war. No, we would not have piled on with further aspersions on the appearance of his teeth if we had known.
The item was not intended to make a serious point of any sort, as we thought the headline suggested right off the bat ("The dental gap: Does McCain have presidential teeth?"). It was a bit of web ephemera that we found funny mainly for its absurdity--sort of like the videos we've posted from Obama Girl, the McCain Girls, and La Pequena, and items we've written about phenomena such as social media sites obsessed with Barack Obama. The POW backstory turns a joke noted in passing into a lousy joke. And we're sorry for that.
We're also sorry that this dust-up has inadvertently provided yet another sideshow in which genuinely important questions about the candidate and his campaign are circumvented. There's far too much of that going around.
--Steve Perry

[SNIP]Mrs. Obama went to "work for the community" at the University of Chicago Hospitals in 2002 as the executive director of community affairs, a liaison between the institution and its surrounding community of rich and poor.
Two months after her husband was sworn in as U.S. senator in January 2005, she was promoted to vice president of external affairs and community relations.
In 2004, according to the Chicago Tribune, her salary was $121,910. In Zanesville that year, the median household income was $37,192. For the people of Zanesville, paying off student loans from Princeton and Harvard Law School is a problem they'd like to have.
Yep, only in old mean, hateful, awful, "G-ddm America!"One of the corporate boards she sat on, according to Crain's Chicago Business, was that of TreeHouse Foods, to which she was elected in June 2005. That year she was paid $45,000 for being on the TreeHouse board. 2005 was a very good year for the Obamas.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports that Michelle was on the board of TreeHouse Foods in November 2005, when one of its divisions announced plans to close its pickle and relish plant in La Junta, Colo., displacing 150 mainly Hispanic workers.
The following year her husband, Barack, chastised Wal-Mart for its treatment of workers. The TreeHouse workers could have used a helping hand from Michelle.
Paying for summer camp got a lot easier when her salary at the University of Chicago Hospitals nearly tripled to $316,962 in 2005, just after her husband became the junior senator from Illinois. A sheer coincidence, of course, that has nothing to do with her husband casting votes on the future of health care in the U.S. Senate, or that her name might be a donation magnet.
CHORUS:
Grandma got run over by Obama
On his way to Denver the other eve.
You might say Obama's not a racist,
But as for me an' Grandpa, we believe.
He'd been taking so much flak now,
From being buds with Pastor Wright.
Who spread his hate-speech 'bout our nation,
Even though Obama's mom was white.
When we found her the next morning,
At the scene of the attack
She had "racist" tattooed on her forehead,
And Obama's footprints 'cross her back.
CHORUS
Now we're so proud of ol' Obama,
He'd explained it oh so well.
There's race problems in this country
But even Grandma's racist
so what the hell! (Refrain)
It's not a campaign without Grandma,
All the family's dressed in black.
And we just can't help but wonder
Who's the next family member he'll attack! (HE'LL ATTACK!)

neighbors,
Better watch out for yourselves.
They should never vote for POTUS,

Moronic. Self-centered. Self-aggrandizing. Imbecilic. Bastards.CHICAGO — Six Iraq war protesters disrupted an Easter Mass on Sunday, shouting and squirting fake blood on themselves and parishioners in a packed auditorium.
Three men and three women startled the crowd during Cardinal Francis George's homily, yelling "Even the Pope calls for peace" as they were removed from the Mass by security guards and ushers.
One Mass attendee, Mike Wainscott of Chicago, yelled at the anti-war protesters.
"Are you happy with yourselves?" he said. "There were kids in there. You scared little kids with your selfish act. Are you happy now?"
The group, which calls itself Catholic Schoolgirls Against the War, said in a statement after the arrests that they targeted the Holy Name Cathedral on Easter to reach a large audience, including Chicago's most prominent Catholic citizens and the press, which usually covers the services.
(emphases mine) CHICAGO — The new pastor of Barack Obama’s church delivered a defiant defense of its retiring reverend Sunday, comparing media coverage of Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. to a modern-day lynching that resembles Jesus’ death at the hands of the Romans.Comparing Jeremiah Wright to the fate of Jesus Christ?
In a sunrise Easter sermon, Rev. Otis Moss III never mentioned Wright by name, but implied that his mentor, who has delivered sermons in which he likened the U.S. to the Ku Klux Klan and declared it damned for its “state-sponsored terrorism,” is facing the same challenges Jesus did.”No one should start a ministry with lynching, no one should end their ministry with lynching,” Moss said.

As is such the case with liberal democrats... From a source of mine
On Saturday March 8, 2008 State Senator Larry Pogemiller and State Representative Phyllis Kahn held a town a meeting at the Brian Coyle Center in South Minneapolis. The advertised purpose of the meeting was to get feedback from constitutents on topics like the state budget, the gas tax and transportation funding. In reality, it was a way for these two long-time DFL incumbents to tell you what they think of your ability (or lack thereof) to think and act for yourself. Direct from Senator Pogemiller:
"I think it's simplistic and naive to say people can spend their money better than the government."and he went on to include... "The notion that everybody can individually spend their money better than government I, I just think is trite, wrongheaded and anti-democratic."
Oh, good and gracious Mr.Pogemiller... forgive we, the plebiscite masses, for not being as intellectually gifted as the likes of you and your elite liberal comrades! To you, oh wise and powerful Pogemiller, do we pledge our lives and our fortunes, and our unwavering trust in you to do what is best for us. How dare we, the "little people" even have the audacity to think that we know better what to do with our own money than you and your enlightened liberal democrat brethren. I do so bow to your superior wisdom. Forgive our misunderstanding of what is and isn't democratic. A thousand pardons, Sahib.
NOT.
Well, on second thought, it may indeed be "anti-democratic" to believe that people who earn the money should have a larger say in how it is or isn't spent, or can decide as well as the government ways in which to spend the money they earn. Well, anti-Democrat (DFL) party, at any rate.
His royal benificent Lord Potentate, The "Grand and Glorious" Lawrence Pogemiller has given us proof that that is indeed the case.

The Church that Barack Obama has attended for the past twenty years has endorsed and published an article that calls for the destruction of Israel, that according to World Net Daily.
JERUSALEM – Sen. Barack Obama’s Chicago church reprinted a manifesto by Hamas that defended terrorism as legitimate resistance, refused to recognize the right of Israel to exist and compared the terror group’s official charter – which calls for the murder of Jews – to America’s Declaration of Independence.The Hamas piece was published on the “Pastor’s Page” of the Trinity United Church of Christ newsletter reserved for Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., whose anti-American, anti-Israel remarks landed Obama in hot water, prompting the presidential candidate to deliver a major race speech earlier this week.
Hamas, responsible for scores of shootings, suicide bombings and rocket launchings against civilian population centers, is listed as a terrorist group by the U.S. State Department.
The revelation follows a recent WND article quoting Israeli security officials who expressed “concern” about Robert Malley, an adviser to Obama who has advocated negotiations with Hamas and providing international assistance to the terrorist group.
So, not only has Barack’s pastor damned America; he saw it fit to endorse an organization whose main purpose is to oversee the destruction of Israel.
The Rev. Wright saga continues.

The Democratic candidates are finally starting to realize that when it comes to tackling race, they run the risk doing nothing other than airing their own dirty laundry.National Public Radio national correspondent Juan Williams, a FOX News analyst, said a potential complication following Obama’s speech is the attention that it continues to draw to the issue of race. It poses a problem in a campaign where the candidates are trying to focus on the economy, national security and health care.
“He doesn’t want to be the black candidate in the race, because he wants to be the candidate who transcends race … suddenly he’s back in the box as just a black candidate,” Williams said.
The race issue appears to have had an effect on voters.
A CBS poll showed that 25 percent of those surveyed had heard “a lot” about Wright’s comments, while 33 percent had heard some. Of those aware of the story, 15 percent of Democrats, 36 percent of Independents and 47 percent of Republicans said it made them see Obama less favorably.
A Rasmussen survey taken from March 14-16 of 1,200 likely voters showed 56 percent of those interviewed were less likely to vote for Obama because of the Wright’s sermons.
And for the second day in a row, Clinton took the lead in the Gallup daily tracking poll. The poll from March 15-17 showed Clinton with 47 percent support among Democrats and Obama with 44 percent. The two candidates have been neck-and neck throughout the month of March.
Obama’s speech Tuesday was widely praised as a heartfelt, candid assessment of racial divisions that put bitterness between whites and blacks in historical context.
“With this speech Barack Obama showed he’s ready to be president of the United States,” said Democratic strategist Dan Gerstein. “The question now is, is America ready for Barack Obama?”
But it was also widely noted that Obama will probably not be done with the race issue if he becomes the Democratic candidate.

Do I really have to remind the Senator of the Tenth Amendment?SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) -- Democrat Barack Obama on Monday promised Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans help with their grievances - save one. "I know it drives you nuts. But I'm not going to lower the drinking age," the presidential candidate said.
Army veteran Ernest Johnson, 23, of Connecticut, said one of the things that peeved him before he turned 21 was that he couldn't come home and drink a beer - even though he was old enough to serve in the armed services and die for his country.
Obama told Johnson he sympathized, but that setting the legal drinking age at 21 had helped reduce drunken driving incidents and should remain.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.Just where in the Constitution is the power for the President of the United States to severally and/or otherwise dictate to states their respective legal drinking age?

I weep for our nation.NEW YORK (AP) — A businessman claims in a lawsuit that he was injured when a stripper giving him a lap dance swiveled and smacked him in the face with the heel of her shoe.
Stephen Chang, a securities trader, said in court papers filed Friday that he was at the Hot Lap Dance Club near Madison Square Garden and was getting a paid lap dance when the accident occurred early Nov. 2, 2007.
According to the lawsuit, as the dancer swung around, the heel of her shoe hit him in the eye, causing him “serious injuries.”
A man who identified himself as the manager of the Hot Lap Dance Club said he was unaware of the accident or the state Supreme Court lawsuit. The club’s lawyer, Stephen Ateshoglou, did not immediately return a call.

Commander in Chief? I think not.
Unless she wants to head a kamikaze patrol.
Wanting to burnish her anti-American victory credentials, and taking a move out of Harry Reid’s (D-Morticians Union) playbook, Commander-In-Chief wannabe Hillary Clinton joined in the ranting of the rabid anti-war left and, with extreme prejudice, threw our soldiers and their mission under the proverbial bus:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democrat Hillary Clinton charged on Monday the Iraq war may end up costing Americans $1 trillion and further strain the economy, as she made her case for a prompt U.S. troop pullout from a war “we cannot win.”
This week marks the fifth anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, but voters now say the economy is their top issue in the campaign for the November presidential election.
Clinton, the former first lady who is trying to convince voters she has foreign policy gravitas, hurled criticism both at her rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, and the Republicans’ choice, Arizona Sen. John McCain.
Foreign policy gravitas? Declaring the Iraq war lost, in spite of the successes of this past year?
Commander in chief, my hairy backside.
The more and more I see these two demo-bozos slip into their real character, or lack thereof, the better and better John McCain is looking.
Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are not fit to run a one-car funeral, much less the world’s most potent (and benevolent) military.

"I will slow our development of future combat systems."
CHICAGO, March 5 — The Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., senior pastor of the popular Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago and spiritual mentor to Senator Barack Obama, thought he knew what he would be doing on Feb. 10, the day of Senator Obama’s presidential announcement.So the Rev. Al was less-than-pleased. But my friends, Obama's understanding of the possible need to distance himself from Rev. Wright was noted nearly a year ago, in April 2007:After all, back in January, Mr. Obama had asked Mr. Wright if he would begin the event by delivering a public invocation.
But Mr. Wright said Mr. Obama called him the night before the Feb. 10 announcement and rescinded the invitation to give the invocation.
“Fifteen minutes before Shabbos I get a call from Barack,” Mr. Wright said in an interview on Monday, recalling that he was at an interfaith conference at the time. “One of his members had talked him into uninviting me,” Mr. Wright said, referring to Mr. Obama’s campaign advisers.
Some black leaders are questioning Mr. Obama’s decision to distance his campaign from Mr. Wright because of the campaign’s apparent fear of criticism over Mr. Wright’s teachings, which some say are overly Afrocentric to the point of excluding whites. [Now there's an understatement if I've ever heard one--ED]
“Senator Obama is proud of his pastor and his church, but because of the type of attention it was receiving on blogs and conservative talk shows, he decided to avoid having statements and beliefs being used out of context and forcing the entire church to defend itself,” Mr. Burton said.
Instead, Mr. Obama asked Mr. Wright’s successor as pastor at Trinity, the Rev. Otis Moss III, to speak. Mr. Moss declined.
In recent weeks, word of Mr. Obama’s treatment of Mr. Wright has reached black leaders like the Rev. Al Sharpton and given them pause.
“I have not discussed this with Senator Obama in detail, but I can see why callers of mine and other clergymen would be concerned, because the issue is standing by your own pastor,” Mr. Sharpton said.
Even if the heretofore thought-of- clean-as-the-wind-driven snow Barack Obama survives this flap (and I don't think he will); he will no doubt be damaged goods as the good Senator John McCain hands him his backside in November.From an April 2007 New York Times article:
“If Barack gets past the primary, he might have to publicly distance himself from me,” Mr. Wright said with a shrug. “I said it to Barack personally, and he said yeah, that might have to happen.”
Somehow that quote seems relevant today, with the news that Barack Obama has distanced himself from Jeremiah Wright.
“Let me say at the outset that I vehemently disagree and strongly condemn the statements that have been the subject of this controversy,” he said in the statement. “I categorically denounce any statement that disparages our great country or serves to divide us from our allies. I also believe that words that degrade individuals have no place in our public dialogue, whether it’s on the campaign stump or in the pulpit. In sum, I reject outright the statements by Rev. Wright that are at issue.”Hmmm... I wonder if Michelle Obama has gotten the memo:
The statements that Rev. Wright made that are the cause of this controversy were not statements I personally heard him preach while I sat in the pews of Trinity or heard him utter in private conversation. When these statements first came to my attention, it was at the beginning of my presidential campaign. I made it clear at the time that I strongly condemned his comments. But because Rev. Wright was on the verge of retirement, and because of my strong links to the Trinity faith community, where I married my wife and where my daughters were baptized, I did not think it appropriate to leave the church.So, Barack Obama had been going to the church for 20 years now, and all of Wright's sermons have been pure as the wind-driven snow, save for these few, eh?

Letting pedophiles go, letting crack dealers go...A 23-year-old man found guilty of selling crack cocaine three times near an elementary school and then fled during his trial, will not serve prison time, MyFOXKC.com reported.
Aunrekki D. West was convicted of three Class A felonies — two counts of delivering a controlled substance near a school and one count of second degree drug trafficking, the Web site reported.
They carry a sentence of 10 years to life in prison on Jan. 9, according to the report.
The Platte County Prosecutor's Office asked the court to sentence him to 15 years on each count, running them consecutively for a total sentence of 45 years, but instead they gave West five years probation after serving 60 days, the station reported.
West will be ordered released on March 15, because the court gave him credit for time served.

In what was certainly a minority appeal for sanity,The state Court of Criminal Appeals voted 4-1 in favor of Riccardo Gino Ferrante, who was arrested in 2006 for situating a camera underneath the girl's skirt at a Target store and taking photographs.
Ferrante, now 34, was charged under a "Peeping Tom" statute that requires the victim to be "in a place where there is a right to a reasonable expectation of privacy." Testimony indicated he followed the girl, knelt down behind her and placed the camera under her skirt.
In January 2007, Tulsa County District Judge Tom Gillert ordered Ferrante's felony charge dismissed. That was based upon a determination that "the person photographed was not in a place where she had a reasonable expectation of privacy," according to the appellate ruling issued last week.
The District Attorney's Office had appealed Gillert's ruling to the Court of Criminal Appeals.
"We agree with the district court's analysis," stated the opinion written by Appeals Judge Charles Johnson, with Judges Charles Chapel, David Lewis and Arlene Johnson concurring.
These lower-than-scum judges are no doubt the same liberal ACLU-types who, basking in the mindset of sexification of young girls, allowed unlimited access to pornography in public libraries, struck down parental involvement through the negation of parental notification laws, and have been largely responsible for statistics like these. These bastards, who supposedly took oaths that they would protect the public good, need to be summarily removed from their positions of public trust and thrown out of office on their collective ears.Appeals Judge Gary Lumpkin wrote that "what this decision does is state to women who desire to wear dresses that there is no expectation of privacy as to what they have covered with their dress."
"In other words, it is open season for peeping Toms in public places who want to look under a woman's dress," Lumpkin wrote.
He said he found the majority's finding of no reasonable expectation of privacy "interesting and disturbing."

This "ethics reform" bill will create an unaccountable, supposedly "independent" commission comprised of six people that will serve as personal pit bulls that can bring forth charges against congressmen anonymously without probable cause, with no chance for the accused congressman to face their accusers!In an interview with Laura Ingraham today, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (MN-6th CD) tells of the "kangaroo court" that this bill will create in the House of Representatives:House Democrats had crafted legislation, an ethics bill in name only, that will do nothing to clean-up Washington. In fact, many non-partisan experts believe that it will only further empower the special interests.
Tonight, on the House floor, House Democrats were headed towards defeat. They were opposed by a bipartisan coalition of Members, who wanted to work towards meaningful ethics reform, rather than accept the empty rhetoric offered by the House Democrat Leadership. At the end of the vote, the bipartisan coalition had prevailed; yet, Speaker Pelosi held the vote open and strong-armed less senior Representatives into voting her way. This action violated House rules that were enacted in January of last year.

Well, as anyone who hasn’t been living under a rock knows by now, New York’s Democratic governor Eliot Spitzer finally got a taste of his own medicine. At first, I really wasn’t going to post on this, thinking that it’s New York’s problem with which to deal; but what I really found noteworthy in terms of national politics is the relative silence of a national candidate for POTUS, namely one Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Herself a longstanding party on the receiving end of marital infidelity, Hillary could have done herself and the women’s movement a lot of good by coming out full bore at the outset of this scandal by decrying Spitzer’s actions.
But once again, as was the case of her reactions (or lack thereof) to the multiple indiscretions perpetrated by her husband, Hillary remains silent. And for the same reason. Knowing full well that a divorce from Bill Clinton would be a divorce from her ever gaining the power she so desired; Hillary is no doubt likewise conflicted regarding the severing of ties to Eliot Spitzer.
For Spitzer, aside from being a scumbag, is also a democrat Super Delegate. Committed to voting for Hillary.
And truth be told, the Clintons, being the quintessential Machiavellians that they are, have never been ones to allow nefarious backgrounds to get in the way of their stated objectives.
So if the causes of feminism, and of women being treated as objects once again have to take a back seat to Hillary’s presidential aspirations, so be it.
The end, after all, justifies the means.

Dear Neighbor:Thanks for being there, Steve~!
I'm getting back to you again today (Thursday) to report what happened with the Tax Bill.
After all Republicans and some DFLers voted against the earlier version, it went to the Senate where many measures were removed; they did keep most of the federal tax conformity provisions which will save Minnesotans millions of dollars. As it came back to us from the Senate, this bill represented real compromise, and fiscal moderation.
It wasn't everything we wanted but it is a good bill overall for Minnesotans, it accomplishes federal tax conformity. For this reason, I voted for concurrence on the Tax Bill, which passed the House on a 132 to 1 vote.
This shows how, by standing firm for changes we need and principles that are important, we can accomplish compromise and moderation in legislation. This is the first tax reducing legislation we've passed this session.
Several committees will be meeting into the night, including committees on which I serve addressing education and health care. Thanks for your continued interest.
Sincerely in service,
State Rep. Steve Gottwalt

From the party that nearly coined the mantra, “COUNT EVERY VOTE!” back in the 2000 elections, comes a message to democrat voters in Michigan and Florida:
On Wednesday, Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, a Democrat, and Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, a Republican, released a joint statement, urging the national parties to “seat our delegates.”“The right to vote is at the very foundation of our democracy,” the governors said. Given the record turnout in this primary season, “it is reprehensible that anyone would seek to silence the voices of 5,163,271 Americans. It is intolerable that the national political parties have denied the citizens of Michigan and Florida their votes and voices at their respective national conventions,” Granholm and Crist said.
No
The Democratic National Committee sent a pointed message to Florida and Michigan on Wednesday:
“We’re glad to hear that the Governors of Michigan and Florida are willing to lend their weight to help resolve this issue,” Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean said in a news release.
“As we’ve said all along, we strongly encourage the Michigan and Florida state parties to follow the rules, so today’s public overtures are good news.”But the answer is no, Dean continued: “The Democratic Nominee will be determined in accordance with party rules, and out of respect for the presidential campaigns and the states that did not violate party rules, we are not going to change the rules in the middle of the game.”
So the Democrats have in effect disenfranchised the vote of laid-off auto workers in Detroit, not to mention senior citizens and Latinos in Florida.
How magnanimous of the DNC.
But one must remember, disenfranchisement of the voters is nothing new in the liberal democrat playbook. Remember,
Disenfranchising the MilitaryGore talks of “unity.” But now we learn the Clinton-Gore administration didn’t want any soldiers to vote on base.
Basking in his Florida Supreme Court victory last night, Al Gore waxed high-minded. “Both Gov. Bush and I should urge all our supporters to refrain from any comments . . . that could make it harder for us to come together as one nation when the process is completed,” he declared in a speech at his residence, delivered just in time for the 11 o’clock news on the East Coast.
But what about the actions of Mr. Gore’s supporters? Down in Florida, in a concerted effort to trim George W. Bush’s margin of victory, they challenged a great many overseas absentee ballots, many of which come from military members. County canvassers disqualified a total of 1,527 ballots from overseas, according to an Associated Press report–more than 40% of the total. What could be more divisive than disfranchising Americans who are risking their lives to defend their country?
For decades now, the DNC and the ilk of their leadership have loved to masquerade as a voice for “the common man;” but the dirty little secret remains– there is a clear pattern of and a marked willingness to throw the common man under the bus when it suits their agenda. From the many democrats who refused to vote for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (a much-higher percentage of Republicans than Democrats voted for the measure), to the “bimbo eruption patrols” during the Clinton administration that denied civil rights and due process to Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey and Juanita Broderick; to their willingness to trample on personal property rights and parental rights to push an agenda or further a special interest, the Democrats have proven time and time again that they care for the common man to much the same degree that Ted Bundy cared about his dates.
Count. Every. Vote.
Oh Really?
In reality, the DNC’s decision to disenfranchise rank-and-file voters in Michigan and Florida, just to smite the leadership of their respective state parties, was a tactical error from day one. As a result, the DNC and their respective endorsed candidates have left themselves wide open for a beating by Republicans just as sure as if Howard Dean stepped in the ring, handcuffed and blindfolded, against Mike Tyson.
Fish in a barrel, my friends. Fish in a barrel.
It’s another event-filled week at your State Capital. Dozens of bills are rushing through committees as the Legislature appears geared to pass legislation quickly and adjourn. My concern is that haste can make waste, and we should be careful about passing huge rafts of legislation during a session intended to focus on state infrastructure bonding.
Today, “Justin’s Bill,” which redefines the requirements for a legal prescription in the State of Minnesota, passed unanimously in the Senate Health, Housing and Family Security Committee. The bill provides important statutory language to help enforcement agencies crack down on the illicit online trafficking of prescription drugs. The bill is named after Justin Pearson who died from abuse of prescription pain killers he was able to purchase easily online without any evidence of medical assessment. Justin’s father, Dan Pearson, brought this issue to me last year and asked for my help in addressing this new and growing threat. Justin’s Bill has now passed the necessary committees in both
houses of the Legislature, and now goes to the floor in the House and Senate for final votes. Governor Pawlenty has already indicated strong support for the bill, and it should become law within the next few weeks.
All Republicans and several DFLers in the House voted against the Tax Bill early Tuesday morning, sending a strong message to the Senate and legislative leaders that new taxes in the bill need to be removed. As a result, the Senate stripped out some of the tax increases, leaving us closer to what Republicans proposed in the first place: A Tax Bill that
accomplishes federal tax conformity (saving Minnesotans millions of dollars) without all the new taxes. Let’s hope that’s how it comes out of conference committee so it can be signed into law.
The House Bonding Bill proposal came out this week. It includes $2 million for the St. Cloud Civic Center, $14.8 million for St. Cloud State University’s Brown Science Hall renovation, nearly $1 million for SCSU’s science and engineering lab design, $200,000 for St. Cloud Technical College’s allied health building (formerly HealthPartners) renovation, and $372,000 for the Rocori Trail project. The bill does not contain any funding for additional land for Quarry Park as I had requested.
The House Bonding proposal also comes with a hefty price tag of $967 million -- well in excess of the state’s $835 million limit based on our most recent state budget forecast. That needs to be pared down to maintain fiscal responsibility, especially as we face a state budget deficit and challenging economic times. With several “pork barrel” projects included in the bill, there are certainly opportunities to trim the “fat” and bring the bill in line with our fiscal limit. The bill is expected to be up for debate on the House floor tomorrow (Thursday).
Minnesota faces a nearly $1 billion budget deficit for the current two-year budget. That deficit is projected to grow to $2 billion in the next biennium unless we make changes now. The tough work of the Legislature is just ahead, as we make difficult decisions to balance our budget. We must resist the urge to cover the balance by dipping too
deeply into state budget reserves. We also need to re-prioritize state spending, trim expenses, and live within our means instead of raising taxes and fees. In doing so, I will continue my commitment to keeping K-12 education Minnesota’s top funding priority.
Health care reform legislation is moving through the Legislature at a lightening pace. While the basic concepts of focusing on prevention and wellness, “medical home,” and reporting quality and cost of care measures to consumers are not new, “the devil's in the details,” and many approaches proposed this session come with more questions than
answers. Many include hidden implementation costs, tax/fee increases, or cost-shifting. Some would drive providers out of the state, or force others to consolidate.
Minnesota has the highest quality of care, overall costs 15% below the national average, and the highest percentage of people with health coverage in the nation. We are consistently ranked the number one or number two healthiest states in the nation. To protect our lead, we need careful, incremental reforms, not sweeping “bold” measures that could do more harm than good.
That’s the news from your State Capital at mid-week. I’ll try to get you another update at the end of the week. As you can tell, things are moving fast – perhaps too fast to be well considered.
As always, it is an honor and privilege to serve as your State Representative. Please keep in touch, and let me know how I can help!

I know that pancreatic cancer, along with being one of the most deadly of cancers, is also one of the most painful."Dirty Dancing" star Patrick Swayze has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer — one of the most fatal forms of the disease — and is currently undergoing treatment, a representative for the actor said Wednesday in a written statement.
The statement followed a report earlier in the day by the National Enquirer that said Swayze, 55, had five weeks to live because doctors in late January had diagnosed pancreatic cancer that had spread to other organs.
Swayze’s rep issued a statement Wednesday after the report began circulating, claiming the star is continuing his normal work schedule, and Swayze’s doctor said the reports of Swayze's imminent death are unfounded.

A major airline is under fire from environmentalists for flying an aircraft across the Atlantic with only five passengers on board.Will somebody, somewhere, find these idiots and slap them upside the head? So, a commercial airline, in order to keep their customers happy, books an extra flight so that they can get to their destination in a timely manner, and these complete and utter morons wail and gnash their teeth over it?It led to American Airlines being accused of reckless behaviour by green lobby groups.
The latest "eco- scandal" flight took place on February 9 after American was forced to cancel one of its four daily services from Chicago to London.
While it was able to find places for nearly all the passengers on the fully-booked flight, five still had to be accommodated. Those who did fly were upgraded to the business class cabin.
But while they enjoyed lavish hospitality, the airline was accused of an "obscene waste of fuel" by Friends of the Earth.
If brains were energy, these vile ignoramuses couldn't drive a piss-ant's hybrid car half-way around a bee-bee. But if chutzpah were energy, they'd power us into the next century and beyond.

(Actually, it would be pretty scary having either President Obama or President Hillary Clinton answering that call... either way we're screwed....but I digress.)“(Obama’s) entire campaign is based on one speech he gave at an anti-war rally in 2002,” Clinton told reporters on the plane to Fort Worth, Texas, Saturday, claiming her rival never followed up that speech with action in the U.S. Senate. “As they say in Texas, a lot of cattle, no hat.”
The ad, playing only in Texas, shows images of sleeping children and asks voters who they want “answering the phone” during a crisis. It’s prompted a bitter back-and-forth between the candidates.
