Pssshhh.  The focus should be on the videographers for AQ-I encountering hard times due to their hard-pressed struggle to find good video ... which CNN could then broadcast.  It really affects everyone. </sarcasm>

*New It's all Bushs' fault July 31, 2008 - 10:15 ET by kilrod

 Dad-gum-you Bush, you got us into this war we caint win, you bogged us down in a quagmire, caused and involved us in a civil war that will encourage the terorrist to hate us more and to attack our homeland, a war we caint win, we shoulda pulled out months ago, this surge thang caint work, we gotta get out and apologize to the iraqis and the world for tryin to fight the terrorist on there soil instead of ours and turn this country over to the o-Dumb-uh craps so they can fix our poor reputation in the "global community" and tell those terrorist to "quit-it" and stop hateing us. And now you have the nerve to come on national, prime time, msm tv., and tell us the surge worked, the surge troops are already on their way out or, are already out, and the iraqi gov. is lookin like it can stand on it's on and we may actually be winning, and in the meantime we have'nt had a terrorist attack at home, but to top it all off, while you were messin around, playin President and Commander-In-Chief, you caused and/or allowed all those jelly-fish to invade our beaches and sting people.!! Shame on you W, EVERTHING that goes wrong in this country is your fault and i know dam well you had somethin to do with those jelly-fish.

Yes it has everthing to do with the surge, and it will effect the elections, if Mac will take advantage of it, use it in new campaign adds and stuff it down the msms' throat and o-Dumb-uhs' throat, and give plenty of Thanks and credit to our excellent military.

Godspeed to those 11 who died this month and to all those who have given "all" in this war, you are heroes every one and this nation owes you a debt of Eternal Gratitude.!! And to all the men and women who are serving in our Military and protecting this country you have my admiration, my respect and my humble Thank-You, You are all in my Prayers, God Bless

Story today about suicide attack which killed three.

USAToday wrote a recent story revealing the huge difference in deaths over the past year. Who else id doing the same?

DAILY WAVE

In an attempt to out-nanny California, New York City is trying to put a ban on new fast food restaurants in "certain areas".  

Obviously lawmakers don't think that those "certain areas" may need the employment opportunities or tax revenue.  They are just worried that people may eat a french fry.

"Andy, if I worked and served the people in the 13th District in Chicago, I would have known all of the players. And to win that district, would I have gamed the system to run unopposed? Tony Rezko would not have had a seat at my table. Either Obama is a fool and is blind to what should have been obvious, or someone like Tony is fine by Obama’s standards. The guy is a dirtball. And a dirtball would not be part of my circle, certainly not my inner circle. I would rather not be elected than associate with someone like Rezko.

I would not choose Rev. Wright, Rev. Meeks, or Father Plager as my spiritual mentors, not for political reasons or any other reason. Again, he is either blind or an opportunist. Would I be hanging out with Mr. Ayers? Would you? Would you refuse to be photographed with Gavin Newsom? There is a pattern with this guy - he manipulates; and for him the ends justify the means. He lacks character.

Getting not one bill passed in the first 6 years of his career in not inspiring. Having Emil Jones hand him the ball 26 times on the one-yard line in order to make Obama a United States Senator does not cut it either. What deals he made, he did to benefit no one but himself. He never worked long enough in either Senate to help the people who elected him. Andy, I could never imagine you taking credit for legislation someone else slaved over. Starting in his community organizing days he claimed sole responsibility for other people’s accomplishments all for the purpose to boosting his career.

....

Andy, I have consistently found you to be a compassionate person, but more importantly you have always put your money where your mouth is. Does it not bother you that a guy like Obama can serve a poor district and give away a paltry $1000 to charity? He only stepped up his giving when he decided to run for President and he knew his charitable giving would be made public. How could anyone see that much misery and not try to personally do something about it?

Please, show me something this guy ever did that was not done in a calculated fashion to create and advance his own personal narrative? Something selfless, perhaps, just because it was the right thing to do.

Every person I have talked to who worked at the Law Review at Harvard with him, or in the latter part of his career, said the same thing: he was arrogant and self-centered. One person laughed, saying Obama wanted to be King of the World, that he was always running for something, never staying in one place long enough to amass accomplishments or be held accountable. "

It goes on, but she is an honest liberal.

I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they’d never expect it.

Just got a tip on a new-to-me online comic strip. Thought this one was pretty apropos for here and the time stamps on some posts.

LINK:xkcd comic

Every democrat in congress and the DNC  supporters are looking for a National Security Secret to release to the NYSlimes that will result in the death of a few hundred Americans. They killed 90% of the Americans who have died in Iraq by supporting the enemy and can't quench their thirst for blood. 

Old, Retired and glad of it.

This is hysterical!  He is playing old clips.  Love Rita X.  Motherplane, stonehenges, wow!

I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they’d never expect it.

I just finished reading a post at  http://dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/07/29/climate-research-media-focus-whiplash/#comment-70943 and could not believe what I was reading. So I have posted it here for everyones enjoyment, or something like that. It's long, buuuut...

1:11 pm THE FOED PROPOSAL*

Whereas there is lacking only the political and economic will to feed and educate billions of people who form an enlarging base at the bottom of the global, manmade pyramidal economy; and

Whereas the artificially designed construction called the global political economy exists for the benefit of the human community, and supposedly not to satisfy the insatiable greediness of a small minority of the human family who recklessly consume and relentlessly hoard resources at their whim; and

Whereas there are human institutions of the United Nations willing, ready and able to perform the tasks associated with feeding and educating these people; and

Whereas humanitarian action calls out for a resolute, global confrontation of hunger, poverty and illiteracy; and

Whereas humanity naturally protects itself from danger and necessarily safeguards other creatures from extinction; and

Whereas we of humankind live on a relatively small, evidently finite, noticeably frangible planet without causing the irreversible degradation of its environs and the relentless ravage of Earth’s body as a fit place for human habitation by our children and coming generations,

Now, Therefore, We Propose the following Summary of a Program of Action.
_______________________________________________
Target Population:

There are three billion people at the deepest and widest part of the human world’s pyramid-shaped, global political economy.

Administrators:

Under the auspices of the United Nations, the UN Development Program (UNDP) has general administrative authority for the FOED OPERATION; the UN Fund for Population (UNFPA) will be responsible for health education and training; and the World Food Program (WFP) will be put in charge of food nutrition, acquisition and distribution.

Aim:

The construction of 100,000 FOED OPERATION facilities over 20 years, beginning with the most impoverished areas worldwide. These facilities will provide children and adults with food and education, thereby offering an immediate solution to nutritional needs and a long term solution to poverty and ignorance.

Cost:

There are three billion dollars (one dollar per person) for construction costs of FOED OPERATION facilities. Costs related to feeding and educating people would be borne over time by UN member states who will agree to provide 10% of GNP, thought of as a “humanitarian tithe.”

Goal:

Through education, make it possible for fertile human beings to voluntarily make informed, independent decisions regarding reproduction and to reliably provide a foundation for their improved standard of living, in light of evolving understandings of what is sustainable population growth and sustainable economic development.
