Monday Musings and Ramblings

News item - Mary Mapes recently said her story on the President’s Guard service was “true” and “no one has proved that the documents were not authentic."

News item – Ted Kennedy tried to save people who were stuck in the water. No, really…

News item – Palestinians are up in arms and quite upset over being targeted by suicide bombers.

News item – racial attacks are increasing at an alarming rate.
1. black lefties in Maryland attack the Lt Governor, a black man, by pelting him with oreo cookies, depicting him in blackface on a website, and calling him names such as “Uncle Tom”. This action is defended as appropriate by black Democratic leaders. One state senator said, “If you are bold enough to run, you have to take whatever the voters are going to give you.”
2. This comes within days of an editorial in the Milwaukee Sentinel (sadly the link now calls for registration) calling for Judge Clarence Thomas to have an asterisk(I found another link that works) “because he arguably does not represent the views of mainstream black America.”
3. In a related story – black students in NC are accused by other blacks as “acting white” if they make good grades.
The silence from Jesse Jackson, Charles Rangel, et al, is astounding.

News Item – the Washington Post has a story on a covert CIA operation in Europe and the silence from the lefties is deafening. Perhaps they had their shorts wadded out from all the fuss over the Valerie Plame non-scandal.

News item – A post in my local newspaper where people call in with their opinions contained a post by someone who maintained that had the Democrats won the White House instead of Bush, the terrorists “never would’ve hit us”, conveniently forgetting all those attacks in the 90’s like the first World Trade Center bombing, US Embassies, the Khobar Towers, and the USS Cole.

News item – leftie after leftie trot themselves in front of cameras to discuss Supreme Court nominations and accuse the Republicans of having a litmus test, and they maintain a straight face while doing so.

News item – France, which prides itself on smashing America whenever possible, has its hands full with rioting from those who think the French government is not quite fair to them.

News item – in yet another PC example of zero tolerance gone wild, a child is forced to walk around all day in school in their underwear. Although it does not say, I wager the costume was Bush, or maybe something religious. Or the school might have considered the costume a weapon.

News item – An employee at a San Francisco (I know I could just stop right there) Child Welfare Agency shows pictures from a gay S&M porn site that involve a staff psychiatrist to a supervisor. When the pictures are forwarded up the chain of command (the term is used loosely in this instance), a top level supervisor orders an immediate investigation -- of the supervisor for creating a hostile work environment. Evidently, they don’t consider it wrong for child psychiatrists from foster care programs to publicly pose in gay porn, but somehow it’s wrong to be aware of them doing it, and hostile to help them in their attempt to publicize their lifestyle. Where is the ACLU on this? No, the answer is not “at the website doing research”.

News item – it’s almost daily that some Leftie somewhere decries the fact that more people are incarcerated, yet the crime rate has fallen, and the sledgehammer of irony just misses another one…

News item – Anthrax, a weapon certifiably capable of destruction in the “mass” column, was found quite some time ago in Iraq, a fact which continues to elude most ‘journalists’.

You just can’t make this stuff up, people. The Lefties continue to shoot themselves in the foot (and other parts of their anatomy). It’s to the point of being insanely hilarious. Comedians dream of coming up with material that good.
