AMERICA - The Right Way!! (Day 774) [Remember the Trade Center!!]

[Mr. Mulliner]

I wish I'd seen this on Jay Leno. Pretty good if you ask me.

Jay Leno joked about the preposterousness of liberals thinking they need their own liberal talk radio network when they dominate just about every other media vehicle.

Brit Hume ended his FNC show on Tuesday night with this clip from a recent monologue from Leno on NBC's Tonight Show:

"According to the New York Times, a group of liberal venture capitalists are in the process of developing their own liberal radio network to counter conservative shows like Rush Limbaugh. They feel the liberal viewpoint is not being heard -- except on TV, in the movies, in music, by comedians, magazines and newspapers. Other than that, it's not getting out!"

The fact that Leno knew such sarcasm would draw laughter from a general audience shows it is not just conservatives who realize liberals dominate virtually every medium.

[Mr. Mulliner]

The considerable muslim diaspora of Europe has recently come up with a very strange idea: Mecca-Cola. A French-Arab entrepeneur (a dangerous combination these days) has been trying to cash in on anti-American sentiment among the region's muslims by launching this drink as a rival to the classic Coca-Cola. He advertises using the slogan: "Drink commited, drink Mecca-Cola". According to the official website ten percent of the receipts will be used for a European project while another ten percent will go to developing Palestinian society. Of course there is nothing intrinsically wrong with this clever example of niche-marketing, but it does raise some very serious questions.

Does the muslim community need one more form of overtly anti-American propaganda in these times of hardship for an already embattled minority? Competition won't hurt Coca-Cola and responsible buying is a very good thing, but the world view is already so biased against the Arab and muslim society that this initiative will create even more resentment, certainly in the United States. Something muslims can ill afford.

Also, money that is destined for the Palestinian community often ends up in the wrong hands and the frightening consequenses of this are very salient this day and age. Although I am pretty sure that Al-Qaeda is not behind this endeavor it would be wise to think again and to take notice of the scary, almost totemistic place the Palestinian cause has taken up in the minds of the world's muslims. Like there aren't any other causes to be championed in this part of the world.

Miss M, I've had the same opinion, I could not and cannot understand how he was not killed during the bombing of Taliban caves. If we did not get him, like all glorious, brave, significant leaders he must have sneaked out of the country and has been in hiding ever since. If he is alive and we do get him, I DO FERVENTLY HOPE we see him in leg irons and handcuffs. If we are so close to capturing him, does anyone think he may commit hary kary?

[Molly Pitcher]

Thanks kay, and prayers continue for you, too.

[tillacum]

You have our prayers for Kathryn, dear heart.

[Molly Pitcher]

Senate and House leaders were briefed today???

What's this? Something new?

[Molly Pitcher]

Hi sweetie. Gladly accepting prayers. But Kathryn is Northern Yankee's dear daughter.

HOB needs them too, it sounds like.

[Dog]

A reporter asked Ari about the Daschle briefing...

[lysie]

Oops!! While searching around for the guy we bought our land from I called a elderly lady in Wisconsin whose husband had the same name.

Oh my goodness..I couldn't apologize enough!! :-(

[tillacum]

I miss her too, I do wish she's just drop by and say "HI".

[Chairman_December_19th_Society]

Heading on home now. Later.

[Molly Pitcher]

LOL! That happened to me doing family history research on the internet, finding a name and calling....The poor person on the other end was so understanding!!

[Molly Pitcher]

I need to put up with two or three caterpillars if I want to get to know the butterflies.

[Dog]

[Molly Pitcher]

Hey! So the Dems are attacking the administration's foreign policy.....on the eve or war...

[Neets]
