Was anyone watching Fox News today, around 10:25am this morning. Something called Helens Court (or some such) was on, and they had a discussion of the girl's chastiy suit. She wants to wear a bracelet; the school rejects it based upon religion intolerance, even though muslim girls are allowed to wear headscarfs as part of their religion. IMO, another straight-forward example of selective bias against the religious basis of the US, masqueraded as a "consititutional separation" argument.

Well, they had this woman on providing arguments in favor of the ban. Here's what she said, believe it or not: "We have to have such bans. Suppose another pop-up religion surfaces next week, and they say they have to wear bracelets of naked women. How could we, if we want to be fair, reject that if we now give in to Christianity"?

Another pop-up religion? What an ass. Here we go again -- selective moral equivalency. I like how they use moral equivalency in these situations; yet reject moral equivalency whenever someone brings up the argument about homosexual marriage: "If men are allowed to marry men, what's to prevent three people from marrying each other"? This is always dismissed as nonsense by the radical left fringe -- yet, "pop-up" religions are always a legitimate concern.

Why are these people allowed to breath oxygen?

Me thinks the New York Times is trying to destroy Rupert Murdoch's rep with this.  Do they have an agenda?

And now, today's Zod-free Shrub Report®:

Happy 62nd anniversary of the signing of the UN Charter. How will you be celebrating? Celebrate like a Peacekeeper: rape a child or accept a bribe today!

Okay. The obvious reason for this story is either;

1. most people are too stupid to understand what Our Lord and Saviour Al Gore is saying
2. The Church needs to ratchet up the fear campaign

The latest on the Doogie Haji story this Report covered last week.

Latest in the growing trend of what this Shrubber calls Hispanic Faux Outrage Syndrome.

90 years ago today, the first American combat troops landed in France. You're welcome, you ungrateful Euro-weenies.

Scientists to begin ground-breaking study on pro wrestling.

Perhaps our Democrat(ic) leaders should stick to more politically-correct sports, like cup-stacking?

One more piece of Pittsburgh news: Funeral director collects baby fetuses. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Oh, and the lawyer in the photo is also the lawyer representing the two po black folk who let their children burn to death while they were out partying.

On this date, 137 years ago, Christmas was declared a legal holiday in the USA.

So what's this deal about Larry Kudlow suggesting that liberals don't get a fair shake because conservative talk radio has all the money? It seems he suggested that libs do better on the Internet because it's less expensive. Heard about this on Rush. Anyone else? Sounds like another lib whine about "It's not fair. They have more money than I do. It's all their fault."

Here's a conundrum:

A $25,000 reward was offered for information leading to the arrest of the person responsible for the May murder of a couple and their 15-year-old son in Lancaster, PA (about 5 miles south of the Hero Squad estate.)

After a fruitless month-long investigation the 15-year-old killer was arrested last week and charged thanks to information provided by a citizen. The caveat: The person who provided the information was the killer's father.

So the question posed in our local newspaper (one that actually swings right, and where HS once interned) is, "Should the dad get the reward?"

Good question to debate, but in my opinion, the answer is yes.

Here is a great link for anybody to keep or check out when a vote takes place, and who voted which way, which they post that info after about a half hour of the vote, the vote total is almost always posted pretty quickly afterward the vote is done.

This is important between now and Thursday on the next Cloture vote on the illegal immigration bill if you want to contact anyone in your state or elsewhere.

I opened my morning mostly leftist rag newpaper (The Frederick News Post- Frederick Maryland) this morning and read the following headline: "Roberts steers high court to right" (I could find it only in the print edition not online). I was livid. Isn't this an editorial opinion and not a news headline? I immediately dashed off a letter to the editor stating that maybe tomorrow's headline should read "Ginsburg steers high court to left" and that editorial comments and opinions shouldn't be disguised as news but labeled as such. One thing I noticed was that the story was picked up not from the AP but from the McClatchy Newspapers. The Frederick News post has just recently been using this news org as a source for news and articles from editorial commentators. I did notice that all the editorial commentary from McClatchy is very liberal left wing slanted in their point of view (more so than most). I even mentioned this in my editorial (which they called and said they were going to publish) I never heard of this organisation. Does anyone have info on them so I can refute the libs when they howl at me when my editorial is published. 

Re:june 26 immigration vote:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.

The bold, italics above point out the action that happened today. We have the right to insist on a new government. Impeach Bush now!

Brownback voted for the Amnesty Bill.

Bye-bye, presidency.
