Imus is gone, but not everyone is cheering. Thousands of parents of autistic children around the country are reeling at the loss of the one true friend they had in the mainstream media. For them, the silencing of Imus could not have come at a worse time. Of course the messy-headed host said a reprehensible thing, and some form of punishment was not only imperative, but desirable. Comeuppance, almost always, is a good thing. Many enemies of racist and sexist trash talk wanted Don Imus gone, and they got their wish. If you are reading this blog, you may count...

The flood of American liberals sneaking across the border into Canada has intensified in the past week, sparking calls for increased patrols to stop the illegal immigration. The policies of President Bush are prompting the exodus among left leaning citizens who fear they'll soon be required to hunt, pray and agree with Bill O'Reilly. Canadian border farmers say it's not uncommon to see dozens of sociology professors, animal rights activists and Unitarians crossing their fields at night. ''I went out to milk the cows the other day, and there was a Hollywood producer huddled in the barn," said Manitoba farmer...

THE GREAT AMERICAN BOYCOTT -- MAY 1st 2006 WASHINGTON (AFP) Immigrants' rights advocates, elated by the resounding success of Monday's "National Day of Action," which drew the backing of hundreds of thousands of protesters across the United States, now are planning a national boycott which they hope will have an even greater resonance. Organizers are planning the May 1 "Great American Boycott," urging illegal immigrants -- who cannot vote and who have only limited political power -- to flex their economic muscle. Protesters are being urged to refrain from shopping, and to stay away from school and work. You should...

Deceased Steelers Fan Laid Out at Funeral Home on Recliner in Front of TV, Beer at His Side The Associated Press Published: Jul 6, 2005 PITTSBURGH (AP) - James Henry Smith was a zealous Pittsburgh Steelers fan in life, and even death could not keep him from his favorite spot: in a recliner, in front of a TV showing his beloved team in action. Smith, 55, of Pittsburgh, died of prostate cancer Thursday. Because his death wasn't unexpected, his family was able to plan for an unusual viewing Tuesday night. The Samuel E. Coston Funeral Home erected a small stage...

Bring your signs, bells, whistles etc. and you may want to bring a lawn chair. We would like to have a good turn out but have had problems with getting the word out.

Denounce That Mr. Kerry! By Robin Mullins Boyd August 24, 2004 The Swift Boat Veterans have stirred up quite a debate in this country. Despite all of the allegations, the Kerry camp has not answered the questions. The Kerry/Edwards' group has focused solely on the tenuous connections between the Swift Boat Vets and the Bush administration. Ahhh - it brings back fond memories of Hillary's "vast right wing conspiracy". The Swift Boat vets oppose a John Kerry Presidency, so it only makes sense that their contributions have come from supporters of President Bush. How many Kerry supporters do you think...

I thought you might enjoy hearing about Bush Country Ketchup - www.bushcountryketchup.com: the “Official Ketchup of Right-thinking Americans.” Check out the Top Ten if you get a chance; it's pretty funny. While Heinz claims to be an ‘equal-opportunity condiment,’ Bush Country Ketchup is proudly a 100% partisan, conservative condiment. The company was founded by two college friends who took out a $5,000 loan to start the venture. The About Us page has more info on the company’s background. Bush Country Ketchup is slowly making its way into the homes of Americans. The ketchup was featured across the country at the...

I know a lot of you folks coming into town for the G-8 Summit figure you landed in a steam bath. Well, that's just the way the June weather is here in Southeast Georgia. Summer doesn't officially start until June 21, but our summers are like sorry relatives. They come before they're welcome, make everybody uncomfortable and hang around way too long.

Stop reveals ‘naked’ truthBy Lisa Ray Texas City SunPublished May 09, 2004 Two Galveston County Deputies found themselves on the other side of a strip search, Friday. Deputy John Ross and deputy Kyle Cabness, were apparently mistaken for male strippers when they pulled over a limousine containing a mobile bachelorette party. Reports of suspicious activity involving a limousine led Deputy Ross to pull over a vehicle fitting that description in the 1600 block of Highway 87 near Gilchrist around 10 p.m. After sighting the vehicle, Ross called for back up. After the vehicle’s driver checked out, Ross reportedly offered to...

I just recieved this from a friend and am passing it along: Subject: FW: a way around the "do not call" law! FYI- another let's-see-who-I-can-scam-today deal sent to me by a friend... Received this from a retired Judge friend of mine and it is shocking to see how creative that marketing folks can be. This is to all of you that signed up for the "do not call" law. This week I received a card in the mail that looked alright-- It said "vote for your favorite cola - Pepsi or Coke- and receive a complementary 12 pack" It didn't...

THE PENTAGON’S NEW MAP IT EXPLAINS WHY WE’RE GOING TO WAR, AND WHY WE’LL KEEP GOING TO WAR. BY THOMAS P.M. BARNETT, U.S. NAVAL WAR COLLEGE [MAPS BY WILLIAM MCNULTY] Esquire, March 2003 issue Since the end of the cold war, the United States has been trying to come up with an operating theory of the world—and a military strategy to accompany it. Now there’s a leading contender. It involves identifying the problem parts of the world and aggressively shrinking them. Since September 11, 2001, the author, a professor of warfare analysis, has been advising the Office of the Secretary...

Being offended is a substitute for thinking http://www.jewishworldreview.com -- BEING OFFENDED means never having to answer an argument. The conversation went something like this. Caller: "I want you to know your column on drug legalization offended me." Me: "Let me get this straight. Because I said drugs are soul-deadening and far too lethal to legalize, you were offended?" Caller: "That's right. It made me want to hurl." Charming, the way these Gen-Xers express themselves. I don't hear this more than a few dozen times a week: "I'm offended." "I'm deeply offended." "I was really offended." "I found your column very...

Take out a one dollar bill. The one dollar bill you're looking at first came off the presses in 1957 in its present design. This so-called paper money is in fact a cotton and linen blend, with red and blue minute silk fibers running through it. It is actually material. We've all washed it without it falling apart. A special blend of ink is used, the contents we will never know. It is overprinted with symbols and then it is starched to make it water resistant and pressed to give it that nice crisp look. If you look on the...

April 03, 2003 Signs land seven in court By CLIFFORD JEFFERY STURGIS JOURNAL What started as an April Fool's joke involving bad grammar landed seven people in jail Tuesday. Sturgis police arrested seven Sturgis men for placing more than 20 threatening letters on various businesses, schools, banks and at the post office. At least 12 signs were posted Monday morning. Another 20 were put up Tuesday evening, according to Sturgis police. The letters all read "All your base are belong to us and you have no chance to survive, make your time." Information about the letters was forwarded to the...

I'm not real good at judging the numbers but I would say around 800 to maybe 1000 showed up today at a Support the troops Rally in Alvin, Tx.. I wonder how many small towns like this were having Rally's for the troops that don't make the national news. I like to stress there are more of us than there are of the anti war protestors. Was happy to see anymouse there. He was taking a lot of pictures and told me he would post them when I made a thread.. I took a couple pictures I sent to Flyer....

I see a lot of people yelling for peace but I have not heard of one plan for peace. " Books, not Bombs" won't work. The head mullahs won't let anyone read them. If they do, they poke their eyes out. Many around the world and yes, even here think we should mind our own business. Wonder what they would think if we did just that. Here's the plan: 1) The US will apologize to the world for our "interference" in their affairs, past & present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini and the rest of them 'good old boys'. We will...

March 18, 2003 The London Times See men shredded, then say you don't back war By Ann Clwyd "There was a machine designed for shredding plastic. Men were dropped into it and we were again made to watch. Sometimes they went in head first and died quickly. Sometimes they went in feet first and died screaming. It was horrible. I saw 30 people die like this. Their remains would be placed in plastic bags and we were told they would be used as fish food . . . on one occasion, I saw Qusay [President Saddam Hussein's youngest son] personally...

What Hogs do not know There are three things that Hogs don't know .... and liberal Socialist Democrats don't either. First, "Hogs don't know that hogs stink." The hog thinks all of that mud, filth and corruption he is wallowing in is great. The mixture of feces and rotting food scraps being stomped down into the mud and then that slime covering his body seems a good thing to him. That is his values. It's not that the hog can't smell the stench, it's just that he has lived in and eaten from that pollution for so long that to...
