Media leans how to photoshop, Round I

Rush Limbaugh's site shows two examples of the media blowing some protests WAY out of proportion. One is of the "Grip Reaper" in front of the White House, and the other is of Al Sharpton and Cindy-disgruntled-liberal-mother-Sheehan.

Listen to his broadcast here.
See the article here.

9/11 memorial NOT to be a site for multi-cultural blather

Pataki Bars Museum From World Trade Center Memorial Site - New York Times:

"The I.F.C. cannot be located on the memorial quadrant,' Mr. Pataki said in a statement issued shortly before 5 p.m. That quadrant, at the southwest corner of the trade center site, contains the footprints of the twin towers. It is regarded by many as sacred ground, too hallowed for a museum dealing with 9/11 in the context of greater geopolitics and social history.

'There remains too much opposition, too much controversy over the programming of the I.F.C.,' the governor said, 'and we must move forward with our first priority, the creation of an inspiring memorial.' Mr. Pataki said he had instructed the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation to 'work with the I.F.C. to explore other locations.'"

Good. The Islamic terrorsits don't need to be memorialized in a location they destroyed to begin with.

Pataki has some spine. Yay.

Turkey accused of torturing mentally disabled

Turkey accused of torturing mentally disabled - Yahoo! News:
"'We have identified a practice of torture: the use of electroconvulsive treatments (ECT) without anaesthesia,' he told a news conference.

'We have found children in orphanages and rehabilitation centres tied down to their beds, denied medical treatment, left without rehabilitation and left without the support they need to get food to keep them alive.'"

And we are all concerned about Abu Grab????????
Lets get some perspective here folks!

Decentralize and Network the Federal Government Now

Opinion from PC Magazine: Decentralize and Network the Federal Government Now: "Things would work more effectively with teleconferencing, and the Congress folks wouldn't be so hounded by lobbyists in a corrupting environment. Lobbyists would have to travel to the districts."


This guy usually comments on the PC world, but this is a pretty interesting idea. It does get the representatives closer to their constituants...

New evolution spat in U.S. schools goes to court

New evolution spat in U.S. schools goes to court: "PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - A new battle over teaching about man's origins in U.S. schools goes to court for the first time next week, pitting Christian conservatives against educators and scientists in a trial viewed as the biggest test of the issue since the late 1980s.

Eleven parents of students at a Pennsylvania high school are suing over the school district's decision to include 'intelligent design' -- an alternative to evolution that involves a God-like creator -- in the curriculum of ninth-grade biology classes."

What is wrong with presenting 2 points of view? If one is more truthful then the other, then the students wil be able to decide. Or iis it that the evolution is the weaker theory of the two?

Hamas is a bunch of bloody liars. But we knew that.

My Way News: "GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) - Israel ordered ground forces to the Gaza border Saturday and threatened a 'crushing' response after Israeli towns were hit by the first major Hamas rocket barrage from the coastal territory since Israel's pullout two weeks earlier.

Israel also resumed airstrikes against Hamas targets, hitting several suspected weapons workshops, and imposed a blanket closure that bars all Palestinians from its territory."


Yes, pulling out of the Gaza Strip will grant peace and security... I think not. Isereal should just bulldoze each and every one of the paliestenians out of Isrealie land. Save a lot of lives in the long run.

Roberts passes the political gauntlet

BREITBART.COM - Just The News: "The official tally of 13-5 was anticlimatic, with the committee's 10 majority Republicans lined up solidly behind the conservative judge's nomination to the full Senate weeks in advance.

But the decision by three Democrats to join Republican efforts to make Roberts the nation's 109th Supreme Court justice outlined the division in the minority caucus over whether Democrats can, or should, mount even symbolic opposition to Roberts to send President Bush a message on his next Supreme Court nomination."

He's got a genius level IQ, and all the argueing was just a symbolic political nature. The democrats have no concern for their country, just their political power.

BREITBART.COM - Just The News: "N. Korea Accuses U.S. of Plotting Attack
Sep 21 3:09 PM US/Eastern


By KELLY OLSEN
Associated Press Writer

SEOUL, South Korea

In a second day of bluster after its disarmament accord, North Korea accused the United States on Wednesday of planning a nuclear attack and warned it could retaliate.

North Korea 'is fully ready to decisively control a pre-emptive nuclear attack with a strong retaliatory blow,'

Since then, however, the North's rhetoric has underscored its unpredictability and cast doubt on its commitment to the accord hammered out with China, Japan, Russia, South Korea and the United States after four rounds of contentious negotiations stretching over two years.

North Korea said Tuesday it would not dismantle its atomic arms program unless Washington agreed to supply light-water nuclear reactors for generating electricity _ a condition the U.S. government has already rejected.
"


Their paranoid, they insane, and they don't want to give up their bing guns. Not that I would either...

ABC News: Amid Katrina Chaos, Congressman Used National Guard to Visit Home

ABC News: Amid Katrina Chaos, Congressman Used National Guard to Visit Home: "Amid the chaos and confusion that engulfed New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina struck, a congressman used National Guard troops to check on his property and rescue his personal belongings — even while New Orleans residents were trying to get rescued from rooftops, ABC News has learned. "

Hehehe.. Wonder what he was taking from his house?

North Korea Demands Nuke Reactor From U.S.

BREITBART.COM - Just The News: "North Korea said Tuesday it would not dismantle its nuclear weapons program until the United States first provides an atomic energy reactor, casting doubt on its commitment to a breakthrough agreement reached at international arms talks.

The North insisted during arms talks that began last week in Beijing that it be given a light-water reactor, a type less easily diverted for weapons use, in exchange for abandoning nuclear weapons. The agreement reached at the talks' end Monday _ the first since the negotiations began in August 2003 _ says the six countries in the negotiations will discuss the reactor issue 'at an appropriate time.'

Both the United States and Japan, members of the six-nation disarmament talks, rejected the North's latest demand.

'This is not the agreement that they signed and we'll give them some time to reflect on the agreement they signed,' U.S. State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said"

They think their dealing with the clintons. Thank God they are not.

Up in the red flame of a bloated bureaucracy

Mirror.co.uk - News - EXCLUSIVE: UP IN FLAMES:
"'The FDA has recalled aid from Britain because it has been condemned as unfit for human consumption, despite the fact that these are Nato approved rations of exactly the same type fed to British soldiers in Iraq.

'Under Nato, American soldiers are also entitled to eat such rations, yet the starving of the American South will see them go up in smoke because of FDA red tape madness.'"

And this is why letting the federal government work in a disaster area is a bad idea. Let the state an local officialls do their job, they are closer to the problem. If they need assistance, then more funding can come, but not a direct involvement a IDIOTIC AGENCY that will not use these rations, or even stockpile them for a later emergency.
Fragging feds... This is about the same food we feed our soldiers, and it is Unfit for consuption??

Croatian Zoo Features Humans Exhibit

Yahoo! News

This is retarded. Two separate cages, one with natural materials, and the other with essentially a couch potato. The natural one is labeled "good" and the potato is labeled the "Most dangerous creature on earth"

This is about as nuts as wanting to count the chimps in the US census....

(Thanks to Liz for sending me this)

Clinton Global Initiative

Newsday.com:

What do you do when you've been president, wrote a 903 page book, and built your library?
You try to solve world poverty, global warming, injustice, and other small issues through a Kyoto protocol type system.

Let's stay in the Lone Star State

Some of the Uprooted Won't Go Home Again: "HOUSTON, Sept. 15 -- Fewer than half of all New Orleans evacuees living in emergency shelters here said they will move back home, while two-thirds of those who want to relocate planned to settle permanently in the Houston area, according to a survey by The Washington Post, the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation and the Harvard School of Public Health."


Who wouldn't want to stay in texas, rather then returning to the liberal run poverty stricken mess of the "big easy".

Iraqi, U.S. troops offensive meeting with success (No Suprise)

Iraqi, U.S. troops find bomb factory / 15 suspected rebels killed in military attack on town: "The government's upbeat assessments were reflected in the footage on state-controlled television. Iraqis often criticize the nascent armed forces for firing their weapons wildly into the air. But on Sunday night, Al-Iraqiya showed Iraqi soldiers in desert camouflage uniforms alertly marching through deserted Tal Afar neighborhoods and calmly guarding a group of about 20 suspected insurgents.

The station showed a demonstration of about 150 people of Tal Afar holding banners declaring: 'We call on the government to kick out terrorists from Tal Afar.' One young man told a television interviewer, 'What we want from the Iraqi government is to kill those terrorists.'"

Haha. There is good news folks! Just look through the gloom, and we're having success.
