Vote to reelect President George W. Bush!
And the Mad Man from Motor City agrees, Cynthia Cassell is the right choice for United States Congress in the 13th District!
60 Minutes??? Shocked I tell ya!
Teresa's been passing out money...
A top NASA climate expert who twice briefed Vice President Dick Cheney on global warming plans to criticize the administration's approach to the issue in a lecture at the University of Iowa tonight and say that a senior administration official told him last year not to discuss dangerous consequences of rising temperatures.
The expert, Dr. James E. Hansen, director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies in Manhattan, expects to say that the Bush administration has ignored growing evidence that sea levels could rise significantly unless prompt action is taken to reduce heat-trapping emissions from smokestacks and tailpipes.
... But Dr. Hansen, first in an interview with The New York Times a week ago and again in his planned lecture today, is the only leading scientist to speak out so publicly while still in the employ of the government.
In the talk, Dr. Hansen, who describes himself as "moderately conservative, middle-of-the-road" [yeah, right]and registered in Pennsylvania as an independent, plans to say that he will vote for Senator John Kerry, while also criticizing some of Mr. Kerry's positions, particularly his pledge to keep nuclear waste out of Nevada. [snip]
He will acknowledge that one of the accolades he has received for his work on climate change is a $250,000 Heinz Award, given in 2001 by a foundation run by Teresa Heinz Kerry, Mr. Kerry's wife. The awards are given to people who advance causes promoted by Senator John Heinz, the Pennsylvania Republican who was Mrs. Heinz Kerry's first husband.
But in an interview yesterday, Dr. Hansen said he was confident that the award had had "no impact on my evaluation of the climate problem or on my political leanings." story
It seems the Doc is fond of gambling.
So I thought I'd see what all the fuss was about over Lord of the Rings. Had to turn it off, the trees reminded me of Kerry and I have seen enough of that mug.
The hunts were tied to an annual house party on private property, and the hunters used buckshot, partly for safety reasons, because of its short range. 'When you see (a deer), you absolutely freeze. Then the game is to see how you can get closer. . . . So you crawl along until you know you have a dead ringer shot.'"
These dolts are pitiful. What, does the butler sweep the area before they start so the sound of crawling through brush and leaves doesn't scare the deer?
If you don't hear from me later tonight, send bail money. :)
I have money ready, just call. :-)
Kerry is such an idiot. Fox news pointed out that the White House has already debunked this story, and Kerry continues to use the NYT story against the President. Everyone knows you can't quote the NYT, they lie and cheat!! Kerry is all negative on the stump. He knows that people hate him, I mean look at him (barf), so the only way he can (cringe) win, is if he attacks the President. All of this will work in our favor, since Americans typically will not vote for the doom and gloom candidate.
I wish I knew how to photoshop, I'd superimpose Kerry's head on Eeyore.
NBC reported last night they had embedded reporters with our troops on 4/1/03 when they went to that weapons location and the weapons were gone by the time they got there.
I've called the NYT to suggest they correct their "reporting".
Ahhhnold!!
At a campaign appearance for a Republican candidate to the California Assembly, Schwarzenegger apologized for being a few minutes late, explaining that he had been pumpkin hunting with his children. Schwarzenegger is married to Maria Shriver, who is Kennedy's niece.
"My kids just brought home a beautiful pumpkin, but you know what? I'm going to return it because it's a Democratic pumpkin. It has the orange colour of John Kerry's tan, and the roundness of Teddy Kennedy," said the Republican governor.
Later, Schwarzenegger made a few more jokes about Kennedy's weight when discussing California's $103 billion US budget.
"That's a lot of money," he said. "Another way to think about it is if you take $100 bills and put them next to each other, they will go half way, truly half way around Teddy Kennedy's stomach."
As the audience guffawed, Schwarzenegger said, "I always like to make jokes about Teddy Kennedy. I think it's always fun to do that. He's one of my favourite relatives. He comes to my house and he eats away all the cake and all the desserts that we have." Story
hehe!
Have you seen this St. Pete Times story?

Kerry's folks are trying to drum up black votes in Florida. But the Times reports that, at Kerry rallies, WHITE SUPPORTERS are having to hold the "African Americans for Kerry" placards.
LOL! I love Florida!

Subject: Social Tips for Rednecks...
In General
1. Never take a beer to an interview.
2. Always identify people in your yard before shooting them.
3. It's considered tacky to take a cooler to church.
4. If you have to vacuum the bed, it's time to change the sheets.
5. Even if you're certain that you're included in the will, it's rude to drive a U-haul to the funeral.
Dining Out
1. When decanting the wine from the box, make sure you tilt the paper cup and pour slowly so as not to 'bruise' the fruit of the wine.
2. If drinking directly from the bottle, always hold it with your hands.
Entertaining in your home
1. A centerpiece for the table should never be anything prepared by a taxidermist.
2. Do not allow the dog to eat at the table, no matter how good his manners are.
Personal Hygiene
1. While ears need to be cleaned regularly, this job should be done in private using one's own truck keys.
2. Even if you live alone, deodorant is not a waste of money.
3. Use of proper toiletries can only delay bathing for a few days.
4. Dirt and grease under the fingernails is a social no-no as they tend to distract from a woman's jewelry and alter the taste of finger foods.
Dating (outside the family)
1. Always offer to bait your date's hook, especially on the first date.
2. Be assertive, Let her know you're interested: "I've been wanting to go out with you ever since I read that stuff on the bathroom walls two years ago."
3. Establish with her parents what time she is expected back. Some will say
10:00 PM. Others might say "Monday." If the latter is the case, it is the man's responsibility to get her to school on time.
Theater Etiquette
1. Crying babies should be taken to the lobby and picked up immediately after the movie has ended .
2. Refrain from talking to the characters on the screen. Tests have proven that they can't hear you.
Weddings
1. Livestock is usually a poor choice for a wedding gift.
2. Kissing the bride for more than 15 seconds might get you shot.
3. For the groom, at least, rent a tux. A leisure suit with a cummerbund and a clean bowling shirt can create a tacky appearance.
4. Though uncomfortable, wear socks and shoes for this special occasion.
Driving Etiquette
1. Dim your headlights for approaching vehicles, even if the gun is loaded and the deer is in sight.
2. When approaching a four-way stop, the vehicle with the largest tires does not always have the right of way.
3. Never tow another car using panty hose and duct tape.
4. When sending your wife down the road with a gas can, it is impolite to ask her to bring back beer too.

Washington Dispatch | 25 Oct 2004 | Frosty Wooldridge
In 1979, American meat packing plant workers earned $17.10 per hour with benefits doing the jobs that Americans, today, reportedly, “won’t do.” In 2004, illegal aliens fill the same jobs at $9.00 an hour with no benefits. They work the jobs that Americans won’t do! Because of indentured servitude wages, they also live 20 to a house and park five cars to a yard!
However, they’re moving into trades Americans used to do. With an added three million illegal aliens crossing our borders annually according to Time Magazine, September 12, 2004, “Who Left the Door Open?” there won’t be any jobs Americans “won’t do”—because there won’t be any jobs left that American middle class workers can do.
In Business Week’s May report, “Working and Poor,” by Michelle Conlin and Aaron Berstein, “In today’s cutthroat job market, the bottom rung is as high as most workers will ever get.”
Edward Plesniak, 36, lost his $10.68 an hour union job as a janitor when the contractor hired illegal alien labor. Plesniak earns $6.00 an hour with no benefits as a floor waxer.
As globalization quickens, the unskilled American worker suffers growing obstacles for a living wage. Not only is he competing with one million legal aliens added to the workforce annually in America, he/she must contend with three million illegal alien workers. Plesniak suffers with millions of Americans. That doesn’t include the 15 million unemployed Americans! It’s an aspect of Third World Momentum.
More distressing, America’s trades stomach an endless invasion of ‘willing workers’ depressing wages while taking jobs away from Americans across the board. Where are they coming from? “Some estimate as many as 95 percent of dry wall tapers represented by Chicago’s painter’s union are Mexican,” Geoff Dougherty, Chicago Tribune, reported. “They come from El Fresnito, Mexico.”
Chicago’s unions serving bricklayers and carpenters are being taken over by Mexicans living in this country, illegally. What has it done to Mexico’s towns? “The main problem is disintegrating families,” said Humberto Alvarez, president of the county of El Fresnito. “We see addiction, dropouts and other problems. The moment the father leaves, the family breaks down.”
While Mexico slathers itself in political grease via Vicente Fox’s inability to dislodge the corrupt, aristocratic upper class (he’s one of them), Fox sends 9.2 million of his poorest countrymen into America to grab the American Dream right out of the hands of Middle Class workers. His plan works, too. Fox’s drone workers return $15 billion annually which is the second leading revenue for his nation’s coffers. All totaled, illegals send $56 billion back to home countries annually. In the meantime, America’s Middle Class spends $7.4 billion educating an estimated 1.3 million illegal alien children. Additionally, Americans pay for health care, free lunch programs, housing assistance and language classes. Furthermore, American taxpayers contend with the $120 billion annual drug trade crossing over Mexico’s borders, aided by their military, which addicts millions of American kids. Not a bad deal for Fox and Mexico’s ruling class.
However, back in America, single parent mothers earning $13,730.00 annually, are not eligible for food stamps or child-care assistance. It’s the reason America suffers the highest child poverty rate in the world. (Business Weekly, May, 2004)
An Associated Press story by Genaro Armas noted, “American black children in deepest poverty is up 50 percent in the past decade. The number of black children living in extreme poverty has risen sharply in recent years. About 932,000 black children fell into that category in 2001, nearly a 50 percent increase from the 622,000 classified that way in 1999 according to the latest figures from the Children’s Defense Fund.”
Worse, 50 percent of the African-American males in New York City are unemployed.
Few leaders make the connection that the outsourcing, insourcing and offshoring of American jobs brings America’s middle class to its knees. Last year, American Flyer, manufacturers of that little red wagon we all pulled as kids--suddenly pulled up stakes and now operates in China. Our trade deficit with China stood at $230 billion in 2003. No wonder! They’re making more profit at 50 cents an hour in a country with 1.3 billion people!
However, when Middle America lacks a paycheck, it can’t buy Domino’s Pizza, cars or step out to the circus. Americans can’t go to movies or take that vacation. They can’t send that first kid off to college.
It’s called the “Wal-Mart Effect.” Chains such as Safeway, Albertson’s and Kroger cut pay and benefits for workers as 40 Wal-Mart stores opened up in a five month period in southern California. Why? Wal-Mart pays less than half the union wages with few benefits. Sherry Kovas, with 26 years as a cashier, made $17.90 an hour but will be losing that wage quickly. “But I’m 44,” she said. “I’m too old to start over.”
Thus, the American Dream is now the Mexican Dream in our country. Trouble is, it’s destroying families in Mexico as it destroys American families in the country that created it. At the current rate of GATT and NAFTA via globalization as well as outsourcing, insourcing and offshoring, Americans will look back on the myth of what was once “The American Dream,” and wonder what happened to it and their families.
Why? With 80 million people added to the planet around the world annually, there is no end of the line for cheap labor as it implants itself and dislodges Americans from the American Dream.

I pointed that out earlier. No one commented on it, so I thought perhaps the midwest was different than other areas of the country.
Thanks for reaffirming my thoughts. I thought maybe I was wrong when no one commented.
I have a new ultimate wish:
The Bush campaign comes out Thursday with ads by.....
BILL COSBY!
His recent remarks to black audiences have been right
in line with conservative "tough love" principles.
Boy, what I'd give to see that!
The woman clutching Blubba by his face could be saying, "Hey, Bill, remember that passionate tryst in the back of your limo? Well, our boy needs braces and new shoes," and Clinton says, "Urp! What was your name again?"
No, you were so spot on correct, that I felt no need to add anything.
His whole campaign is so whacked that I cannot see a victory for the dems, even with the corpse of 'toon working it in Love Park.
