The town fathers were looking for a way to increase attendance and participation at their regular meetings. One member suggested bringing in a hypnotist. The officials agreed.  A famous hypnotist was hired, publicity distributed, and everyone  was pleased. A few weeks later the meeting hall was packed, and the  towns people sat fascinated as the hypnotist withdrew a beautiful antique  pocket watch.  He began to swing it gently back and forth while quietly chanting,  "Watch the watch. The crowd became mesmerized as the watch swayed back and  forth, light gleaming off its polished surface. Hundreds of pairs of eyes  followed ...

Wealthy Make the world Go 'Round From the Rush Limbaugh website My Comments in BLUE There's so much misunderstood about this 40% tax bracket, that I want to explain just who they are. They are not millionaires. Most of them aren't even close to earning a million dollars a year. I'll bet that stuns you, right? I'll bet you think the 40% bracket is made up of only millionaires, billionaires, and gazillionaires. The emphasis on this stimulus package right now is on more government spending, more unemployment benefits, more federally subsidized health care spending. Yes, even in the midst of ...

I want you to know that President Bush has the full support of myself and the Senate.....

This weeks Letterman Top-Ten Contest... http://www.cbs.com/latenight/lateshow/top_ten/contest/ Top Ten Least Popular Videogames One of my entries: "SECRET SQUARE, The Senate Version".... Because Senator Leahy keeps dropping the answers.

What's Your Point Senators? Why are Senators Shumer and Leahy wasting my (taxpayer) money and time worrying about the civil liberties of terrorists? I got so upset today when El-Rushbo reminded me when they tried to curtail our military men & women's civil rights by not counting their absentee ballots in Florida!!! I had to pull over and stop - 'bout busted a blood vessel.... glad my call didn't get through to Rush.... It would of been a continuous bleep after thanking him for the reminder. The proper process is in place, it's working, stop jeopardizing the war effort. If ...

OUT-OF-STEP CHATTERING CLASSES ARE TAKING A FALL The chattering classes are sullen. The president they were sure was a foolish bumbler is doing rather well. He has been patient and forceful. He glued together a coalition that includes a Labor prime minister of Britain, a Russian president and a Pakistani dictator. A number of prominent Democrats admitted -- anonymously, of course -- that they are relieved that Bush is president, not Gore. Here in New York, the news for the chatterers is almost as bad: Rudy Giuliani, the mayor they derided for so long as a reckless demagogue, has emerged ...

Call your Senators today, and tell them to support the Presidentseconomic growth plan. (For those who have been tracking it) President Bush has a plan to protect jobs by stimulating the economy. The House passed legislation, yet the Senate remains deadlocked. The President calls on you to urge your Senators to move quickly to pass an economic stimulus package so he will be able to sign it into law before the end of December.

Media bias, boredom, banality and big-headedness David Limbaugh (archive)  TownHall.com, November 14, 2001 Conservative commentators regularly criticize the elite media for their undisclosed liberal bias and their penchant for creating – rather than reporting –news. Their foolishness continues unabated, but other factors may be contributing to their mischief: boredom and narcissism. This is quite ironic, considering that we're living in a very unboring period of history. We're at war in Afghanistan and under constant threat of terrorist attack at home. Some pundits have even observed that the sobering realities of war have elevated the media above their pre-9-11 Gary ...

War comes with hefty price tag WASHINGTON -- A U.S. helicopter lost in Afghanistan a week ago cost up to twice as much as the government spends yearly on scenic byways. Each cruise missile is worth several American homes. The total expense of the Afghan war may be nearly as hard to find as people hiding in Afghan caves. By one estimate, the military assault is costing $500 million to $1 billion a month -- and above the $1 billion in promised U.S. economic assistance to Pakistan, and debt relief for the country. The Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, ...

The Coming? Political War...   I'm worried, Democrats, and Republacrats (Moderates - either side), are already, or attempting acts political sabotage. I'm sure the White House and RNC are taking notes. I can only hope the same type of planning that is going into the "Terrorist War" happens for the "War of the Ballot Box".    

Hillary Blames 9/11 Attack on Bush Tax Cuts Continued from: #50: Hillary Blames..... It was part of the setup.... they could blame the economy on our "Stupid" President, spin, spin, spin, and Hillary would of been "in" in 2004. (That explains why she looked like a firedog just peed on her leg during the Presidents Joint Address to Congress) 911 just showed us who has the "Right Stuff" and there was nothing the press could do to hide it. Just look forward to a lot more selective/biased reporting (BARF). I can't help but think that she hates police and ...

Hillary Blames 9/11 Attack on Bush Tax Cuts New York Senator Hillary Clinton said Saturday that she blames the Bush administration's tax cut program for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks that leveled the World Trade Center and destroyed part of the Pentagon. "If we hadn't passed the big tax cut last spring, that I believe undermined our fiscal responsibility and our ability to deal with this new threat of terrorism, we wouldn't be in the fix we're in today," Clinton told CNN's Jonathan Karl. In addition to undermining the country's ability to deal with terrorist attacks, Clinton said the ...

HOW TO STOP ISLAMIC TERRORISTS A solution to the problem of Islamic Terrorists was developed by the Army: General John "Black Jack" Pershing - USMA class of '86 (that's 1886)! ...... it worked once in our History. Once in U.S. history an episode of Islamic terrorism was very quickly stopped. It happened in the Philippines about 1911, when Gen. John J. Pershing was in command of the garrison. There had been numerous Islamic terrorist attacks, so "Black Jack" told his boys to catch the terrorists and teach them a lesson. Forced to dig their own graves, the terrorists were all ...

One interesting proposal on how to exact justice for Osama Bin Laden's crimes: Killing him will only create a martyr. Holding him prisoner will  inspire  his  comrades to take hostages to demand his release. Therefore, I suggest we do neither. Let the CIA, Rangers, Seals or whoever covertly captures him, fly him to an undisclosed hospital and have surgeons quickly perform a complete sex  change operation. Then return 'her' to Afghanistan to live under the Taliban.
