America will never seek a permission slip to defend the security of our country!
Good morning!!
Do not let the victims of the attacks on New York and Washington, nor the brave members of our Nation's military who have given their lives to protect our freedom, die in vain!!
60 Minutes is set to air a hit piece tomorrow night. They will have Richard Clarke on the air who sill say the Administration was so bent on attacking Iraq that for the first two days after September 11, that was all that was discussed. He will say that Rumsfeld remarked: "'There aren't any good targets in Afghanistan and there are lots of good targets in Iraq." Stand by...
USA Today is acknoledging that the work of journalist Jack Kelly contained significant fabrications in at least eight major news stories. These fabrications included an interview with a boat person coming out of Cuba, that he spent the night with Egyptian terrorists in 1997, that he met a vigilante Jewish settler hamed Avi Shapiro in 2001, that he watched a Pakistani student unfold a picture of the Sears Tower and say "this one is mine" in 2001, that he interviewed the daughter of an Iraqi general in 2003, or that he went on a high-speed hunt for Osama bin Laden in 2003. Explanations of how stories were reported from Egypt, Russia, Chechnya, Kosovo, Yugoslavia, Cuba, and Pakistan--all fabricated. Indeed the story that won him a Pulitzer in 2001, where he wrote he was an eyewitness to a suicide bombing in Israel--fake. [Sourced to My Way News.] (But if he wrote anything flattering about UOx42, must have been true.) That a journalist on a left-wing newspaper would lie. Shocking. Just shocking I tell you.
The College Republicans at Roger Williams University have sparked controversy by offering a "whites only scholarship" of $250. Everyone went apolpletic. Minority groups, school officials, even the head of the RNC. One must submit a paper--"why you are proud of your white heritage"--to be considered for the prize. The effort was a parody of minority scholarships. The person undertaking the effort? He is of hispanic background.
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.
Here is a little smiley for you Peach.. get better!

The Ant and the Grasshopper
OLD VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks he's a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in the cold.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!

MODERN VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks he's a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.
CBS, CNN, NBC, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast.
How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper, and everybody cries when they sing "It's Not Easy Being Green."
Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the group singing "We shall overcome." Jesse then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's sake.
Tom Daschle, Dick Gephart, Hillary Clinton and Howard Dean exclaim in an interview with Peter Jennings that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both calls for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his "fair share."
Finally, the EEOC drafts the "Economic Equity and Anti-Grasshopper Act," retroactive to the beginning of the summer.
The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government. Hillary Clinton gets her old law firm to represent the grasshopper in a defamation suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a panel of Federal judges that Bill Clinton appointed from a list of single-parent welfare recipients.
The ant loses the case.
The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in,which just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around him because he doesn't maintain it.
The ant has disappeared in the snow. The grasshopper is found dead in a drug-related incident and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the once peaceful neighborhood.
MORAL OF THE STORY:
Vote Republican.
We had thunderstorms tonight.
We have freeze warnings issued for tomorrow night and Monday night (when the temp may be in the mid-20s).
Welcome to Spring!
KERRY FLOPPED THE DAY BEFORE TOO
