Hillary - For The Common Good
Over at soundfury they've spotted Hillary out in the wild, in her natural environment, and this is what they overheard her say about your tax cut:
Now that's Progressivism for you folks. Vote Republican.
We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good.
Now that's Progressivism for you folks. Vote Republican.

Surprise, Surprise
Iraqis given power two days early!
This doesn't mean the bombing will suddenly stop, but any bombings now will look worse to the Iraqi people. At least it should anyway.
For a pessimistic view on the transfer, read this report from the BBC.

When Is Nazi Week On The History Channel?
Some Germans need to watch it because they haven't learned a thing since WWII. In fact, it looks like they are in denial of their past crimes and want to equate Abu Ghraib with Auschwitz.
Their minds have been polluted once again.

Sarasota principal defends Bush from "Fahrenheit 9/11" portrayal
Then you get the know-it-all movie critic, turned political hack, Rex Reed, who calls Moore's film "Magic." Who will you believe? Moore/Reed or people who witnessed the event?
Did Rex Reed fall for that movie hook, line and sinker or what? As Wayne and Garth would say, "Fished in!!!"

Zaraqawi's Oath
It's going to be a rough week and I doubt the June 30th handover will stop the violence or slow it down much. It's gonna take time...
A whole lot of precious time
It's gonna take patience and time, ummm
To do it, to do it, to do it, to do it, to do it,
To do it right child
Sorry about that, I couldn't help it.
The week leading up to the formal transfer of power to the Iraqi interim government will be punctuated by heavy yet pointless violence. The event is as unstoppable as the Overlord invasion, Zarqawi or no. The enemy had better prepare his fallback position and prepare for the next phase of the campaign.

Al Gore To Accuse Bush Of (enter something here)
All together now...
WHO CARES!!!!
-via DRUDGE
WHO CARES!!!!
In a major Washington policy address this Thursday, former Vice President Al Gore will accuse the Bush Administration of intentionally misleading the American people by continuing to falsely claim a connection between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda.
He will charge that Bush and Cheney have "institutionalized dishonesty as an essential element of their policy process."
Gore will also urge the broadcast media to further resist Administration efforts to manipulate and intimidate them, to fearlessly report the fact that there is no Al Qaeda/Saddam collaborative relationship, as the 9/11 Commission staff report has concluded.
Gore will also discuss the implications of the Administration's claim to be above the law in ordering the torture of suspects - and their claim that the Commander in Chief's power trumps all other laws. He will call for the Administration to reveal all orders given the military on the treatment of prisoners.

Jack Ryan, Your Republican Candidate For Senate
Ryan papers contain allegations he pressured wife for public sex
Man did he blow it. Jeri Ryan is HOT! and he ruined their marriage over kinky sex, and he wanted to watch rather than participate. Is he some kinda sicko? What a moron.
Seriously though, if this is true, he should bow out of the race.

Kerry Says - Raise Minimum Wage
Pearls of Wisdom
Our economy is not work because dorks like you won't live the dang thing alone!
"George Bush wants to say to people 'Isn't it terrific, aren't things rosy,'' Kerry said. 'But our economy is not working for the average American. I believe we can do better. I'm an optimist. We're the can-do country."

Zoroastrians
This article claims that the Zoroastrians are thought to be the first monotheistic believers and it dates the founding of their religion at 600 BC.
The Law was given to Moses around 1300 BC according to this. And the Hebrews had worshipped one God since the first Hebrew (Abraham) some 400-500 years earlier.
I'm not buying it. Just another attempt to make Christianity out to be a man-made thing.

Sweeping stun guns to target crowds
Reminds me of the guns from GhostBusters.
Of course I wouldn't want to be a recipient of the shock, but it's better than death if you ask me.
Human rights groups say they could be used as "instruments of torture", but so can paper-clips and a can of spam. The point is, its a non-lethal weapon, do you see North Korea or Iran developing these? I wish these stupid liberal "human rights" groups would complain about the real threats to human rights in the Axis of EvilTM countries.
This intense pulse - which is said not to harm the eyes - ionises the air, producing long, thread-like filaments of glowing plasma that can be sustained by repeating the pulse every few milliseconds. This plasma channel is then used to deliver a shock to the victims similar to a Taser's 50,000-volt, 26-watt shock.

The Statisticians Say 1%, Gays Say 10%
Who do you believe?
Here's a good quote from the article:
Uh huh... can you say denial?
So now homosexuality isn't genetic, because if you have EVER had sex with someone of the same sex, then you're automatically gay. So you may have consciously made a choice to go from hetero to homo and back again? Isn't it obvious that people don't use their heads when it comes to political issues? If you take sides in a political issue then all of the data magically supports your position, objectivity be damned.
See what I mean? They cling to a study from the 40s and 50s because it supports their position.
Here's one last thing that caught my eye...
Emphasis mine of course. So even this "lecturer" on sociology has a bias. What the heck is a lecturer anyway? What qualifies you to be able to go around talking about a subject?
I wish we could just do away with polls altogether because they are pointless. No matter what the poll says, each side will claim to be the majority.
Here's a good quote from the article:
Mr. Arron contends that the numbers are much lower than what he's seen elsewhere.
"We expected that the first time it happened. When you ask somebody to reveal something in a survey for the first time, you're going to get underreporting," he said. "Over time, as the question gets repeated, we're going to see the number go up to where most studies indicate."

Uh huh... can you say denial?
Statscan asked people whether they considered themselves heterosexual, homosexual or bisexual, rather than asking respondents whether they had ever had a sexual relationship with someone of the same sex.
So now homosexuality isn't genetic, because if you have EVER had sex with someone of the same sex, then you're automatically gay. So you may have consciously made a choice to go from hetero to homo and back again? Isn't it obvious that people don't use their heads when it comes to political issues? If you take sides in a political issue then all of the data magically supports your position, objectivity be damned.
The 10-per-cent figure usually cited by the gay community comes from research by Alfred Kinsey, who in the late 1940s and early 1950s found that one in 10 men were homosexual.
See what I mean? They cling to a study from the 40s and 50s because it supports their position.
Here's one last thing that caught my eye...
"Clearly, from a right-wing perspective, they'd like to see the numbers lower," he said. "From the more libertarian perspective, they'd like to see the numbers more accurate, or higher. So nobody's going to be satisfied."
Emphasis mine of course. So even this "lecturer" on sociology has a bias. What the heck is a lecturer anyway? What qualifies you to be able to go around talking about a subject?

El Paso, Texas Named Sweatiest U.S. City
Wow! That's a lot of perspiration. We need to find a way to harvest all of this sweat since the world is turning to dust.
Is Effingham, IL on that list? It's usually 90+ degrees with 70%+ humidity in the summer.
By Long's calculations, in just four hours, El Paso's residents produce enough sweat to fill an Olympic swimming pool, with individuals shedding more than 36 fluid ounces of perspiration an hour.

Reaganite by Association? His Family Won't Allow It
This article seems to think that the Reagan family doesn't like George Bush. The Times fails to mention the political affiliation of Ron Jr. and Patty Davis (Reagan's Daughter). I don't know what Patty is, but Ron is very liberal and not ashamed to admit it. I wouldn't say he speaks for his father or his brother Mike.
Liberals just can't keep their political views quiet when it comes to Bush (even at state funerals). If Mike Reagan were to comment on GWB's term in office, I'm 100% sure he would say Bush was more like Reagan than his father, Bush 41.

Check out message #6 in the message board area.
Um, wouldn't it still be a a handout if the gov't gave $119B to buy insurance? Yahoo message boards are overrun by morons.

Treker Post
Saw the season finale of Enterprise Saturday at 12:00 AM (please move it up at least an hour WTHI!!) and I must say it was a rather good episode. But the cliffhanger threw me for a loop. Even Lileks mentions it in the Bleat today so I'm not the only one that liked it.
<SPOILER ALERT/>
The Xindi superweapon was destroyed and Archer was thought to have been killed, but NO, he was somehow thrown back to Nazi era Europe where no one could recognize his uniform except one Nazi. But it was no ordinary Nazi, it was an ALIEN!! It sure looked like a Reman from Nemesis.
Not sure if I like all of the time travel crap, but there's plenty of action. I just hope they can resolve this "temporal cold war" story line and get the Enterprise back into Federation history mode.
