Oooooh. Eeeevil Karl Rove! And the Ever So Angelic Clintons.

Ah, the imitable eeeevil Karl Rove escaped from the clutches of Liberal, "peace-loving" looney bunch. Karl Rove had this to say. If the Bush Administration is the most corrupt, then you have certainly been keeping your head buried in the sand way too long. Talk about major corruptions here by Democrats and the Clinton Administration. I suggest you read the major corruptions link first before moving forward. An eye-opening detail.

But remember again, kiddies, an indictment is not a conviction. But of course, you would count them automatically as "guilty" whenever the word "indict" comes across your mouths. Oh, also, "investigation" doesn't mean they're guilty, either.

Here's one crime that came out on January 7, 2005 when Hillary's campaign finance director was indicted that day while earlier another person associated with this finance campaign cover-up was sent to jail for 15 years. And why not hold Hillary Clinton accountable for her actions in the fund-raising fraud?

October 19, 2005 – The California Appellate Court ruled that Hillary would not be dismissed from the caset as she had requested, but also that the case is remanded to the trial court to correct an error -- the trial court had ruled based on the date the anti-SLAPP motion was filed, rather than the date it was served on the parties. Now we will see whether the trial judge decides to waive the 30-day requirement or deny the motion once again. Since Hillary's attorney waited 6 months to file the motion, the date error may not make much difference.

See the October 5, 2005 signing by Governor Schwarzenegger Signs Bill Restoring Protections to Landmark Free Speech Law where the bill was drawn up by Assembly woman Lieber to help ensure that victims of meritless SLAPP lawsuits can seek damages from filers of lawsuits.

Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation—or ‘SLAPPs’—are lawsuits filed with the intent of stifling a defendant’s exercise of his or her First Amendment rights. Typically filed by corporations, real estate developers, or government officials against individuals who oppose them on public issues, SLAPPs have no merit but the suit instead intimidates opponents into silence, and sends a clear message to others that they too risk being sued if they speak out. The anti-SLAPP law was enacted to allow a court to declare such a suit a SLAPP and dismiss the case at an early stage in the proceedings.

And here is how it got started with the lawsuit against Hillary. And here is a website called Hillcap - the hillary clinton accountability that has the details on The Hillary Election Fraud Conspiracy: How Democrat leaders conspired with the Clintons to obtain millions in campaign contributions and hide it from the Feds, and lots more in this website.

Yet, how come none of this constitute as a scandal while DeLay, Frist and Rove are considered as humongous scandals?

That's because the many of the MSM and much of the looney Liberals hate, hate, hate the Republicans and President Bush and anybody associated with the Bush Administration. Their hate is shown by giving unproportional news coverages when it comes to scandals, or for that matter "scandals."

What if Miers was Bush 2nd Choice and Janice Rogers Brown was Really his First Choice?

I thought that Janice Rogers Brown would've been President Bush's 1st choice. Perhaps it was his first choice all along (I'm hoping here) but picked Miers banking that either way if she wins the vote it would be good. If not then President Bush will have a benchmark to use just as Jason Smith theorized. However, I believe what the Administration really wanted (hopefully true) as a first choice was Janet Rogers Brown as the Supreme court nominee. It'd would have been a distastrous combo punch out had it gone Brown first...and then Miers. Others feel sorry for Miers for getting caught in the crossfire, but I disagree. I think everybody in the Administration, including Miers, knew this was coming. Maybe they were trying to prepare and use this as set-up just in case.

Now, if President Bush nominates Janice Brown, it'd be an excellent woman to have for the Supreme court. I'd imagine with the benchmark already set after Meirs withdrew her nomination it'd be a way to help ensure that the Democrats get themselves pinched into a corner if they are going to be the rabid bunch by going after a 2nd nominated woman. But this time it'd be a first nominated black woman for the Supreme court. What a quandry for the Democrats to face!

Janice Rogers Brown qualifies well to be the next Supreme court judge with her experience in being in the 2nd highest court in the land. She has a sharecropper story and did everything herself by pulling her own bootstrap. She is a woman, and if voted for the Supreme court, she'll be the 1st black woman judge in the Supreme court history

We had the first woman judge, Sandra Day O'Connor, now since retired.

We had the first black judge, Thurgood Marshall. Died some years ago.

We have the second black judge Clarence Thomas.

We have the second woman judge, Ruth Ginsburg.

It is clear, I believe, that the Administration's goal is to have another woman Supreme court judge just to keep Supreme court "balanced" on the judges makeup. Rather than ruin two choices for a woman judge (Miers and Brown in that order), he choose Miers to go first and then, if it doesn't work out, Bush would capitalize on the responses from the Democrats who would not have wanted Janice Rogers Brown in the first place but may acquience so not to look like hypocrites and/or racist by going ahead and vote Janet Rogers Brown for the Supreme court.

Now, what do you think would have happened had President Bush picked Brown first instead of Miers? After the Democrats voted for John Roberts to be the Chief Justice after trying to find excuses not to vote for him, all very weak, no way in hell will they sit back and not have things their way and let President Bush "get away with it" this time around. Here's why.

But for all the accolades and praise from family and friends, her reception in Washington among Democrats in the Senate has not been pleasant.

Minority Leader Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) said, "Her opinions, if they weren't on such serious matters, would be laughable."

Democrats who are blocking her nomination say she is out of the mainstream and a judicial activist. They say her decisions and speeches show her to be opposed to government, abortion and even hostile to civil rights. They say that because she has ruled against affirmative action programs in the past.

Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) remarked, "We are not going to turn back by appointing judges to lifetime positions who will bring us and return us back to those days of discrimination and prejudice."

In her confirmation hearing two years ago, Justice Brown tried to address the concern of Kennedy and others.

"Probably the most important thing that we have ever done is to try and guarantee people equality under the law,” said Rogers Brown. “And maybe that's because I have lived in a time when that was not so."

Her mom admits that the unfair criticism bothers her, and Janice, too, to a certain degree.

Holland said, "She hides it very well, but I know that it bothers her because it bothers me. Some of it is so negative. They take some things that she says out of context."

She added, "It hurts, but I pray a lot. God does answer prayer."

Part of why Democrats are so opposed to Brown is because of comments in some of her speeches, like this one: “Where government advances and it advances relentlessly, freedom is imperiled; community impoverished; religion marginalized and civilization itself jeopardized...”

And in another speech, she said, “These are perilous times for people of faith, not in the sense that we are going to lose our lives, but in the sense that it will cost you something if you are a person of faith who stands up for what you believe in, and say those things out loud."

Her mom believes that outspokenness does not sit well with her opposition. Holland said, "She tells it like it is. And they don't like it They don't like to hear the truth."

So, Miers was the first on the chopping block. The Democrats had their taste of blood and got what they wanted and got Miers to withdraw her nomination. Now, it would be Brown's turn but there's a problem this time. For the Democrats to try and reject a 2nd nominated woman for the Supreme court, a 2nd black woman nominated for the Supreme court, they would look foolish in the eyes of their black constituents, and their constituents in general, if they try and stop Janice Rogers Brown. Doing this would portray many of the Democrats as just being plain racist and/or hypocrites.

It would have been easier for the Democrats to try and reject Brown had she been nominated first. And then probably easier still to reject Miers as the 2nd choice (rather than the first) because of her background and such. Noticed how weak she was when she presented her case before the Senate Panel? And how the Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter returned the committee's questionnaire to Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers after many lawmakers found her original answers unacceptable??

I think the whole thing was a clever set up by the Administration and Miers agreed to go along with it and wouldn't matter if she won the seat or not since the first objective by the Administration was to get another woman onto the Supreme Court panel. The Administration was banking on the Democrats' reaction toward Miers. And if Miers nomination fails, then Janice Rogers Brown would be next and use the Democrats' past response against them.

Was it all a set-up? Was it a plan for the Democrats to waste their political capital on Miers before moving on to Brown? Was this designed to be a clever fallback tactic by the Administration should the Miers nomination not go through?

Seems like it.

UPDATE: The Anchoress Online seems to think so, too. So does Generation Why? And "Underneath the Robes" gives an example of a decoy used for the nomination of John Roberts and gives names of other potential female judges that could be up for nomination.

Not a National Security Issue when Nahidmobarekeh Spreads Dried Human Feces on Pastries?

Here's a guy with a foreign sounding name, possibly of Middle Eastern orgin, who got caught sprinkling dried, grated human feces on pastries at a Fiesta grocery store. The guys name is Behrouz Nahidmobarekeh. A 49 year old cab driver. But the FBI determined that it (or he) was not a National security issue.

So, sprinkling dried feces on foods in public places where the possibility of human pathogens may exist in the feces is not considered a terrorist threat or a National security issue? Can the FBI elaborate a bit more? Say, that Behrouz was just a nutball but with a suspicious sounding name?

When Liberal News Editors Sides with Terrorists via Doctoring of Photo of Rice

Imagine the surprise. Here were are helping Iraq establish itself as a democratic and free country away from dictatorship, terror, and despotism. The editor Mikhail Metzel, of the Associated Press, writes up a story and has the undoctored photo here in WaPo while USAToday gets away with Metzel's story by using the doctored photo of Dr. Rice. altering the appearance in her eyes making her look more demonic. Nice to know that USAToday would prefer to take this approach while the U.S. helps Iraq establish itself as a democratic and free country.

Karaoke for the Deaf

Here's a very, very funny and creative clip by a British comedian David Armand who plays out a "mime-like" rendition of a song called "Torn" by an Australian singer Natalia Imbruglia. The comedy act is not in a very "ASL"-like repertoire performance. But nonetheless his performance is absolutely priceless. He doesn't perform the full lyrics but use about 1/2 of it for his performance. The lyrics are in blue while in parentheses I try include description of the signs to help you follow the lyrics and the music with his "mime-like" performance.

I thought I saw a man (man = shows a long weiner)

brought (both hands cupped comes up)

to life (makes a circle)

*

He was warm (fans himself)

He came around (cowboy lasso)

And he was dignified (imitates wearing a monacle - "sophisticated")

*

He showed me what it was to cry (he cries)

*

Well you couldn't be that man I adored (pumps heart)

*

You don't seem to know

Or seem to care

What your heart is for

*

I don't know him (him = weiner)

anymore

*

I don't care

I have no luck (checks pocket for cash)

I don't miss it all that much (bow and arrow -miss)

There's just so many things (points finger all over the place)

that I can't touch (touches his palm)

I'm torn (rips a paper)

*

I'm all out of faith (points finger down to hell)

This is how I feel (feels body)

I'm cold (shivers)

and

I am shamed (covers mouth)

Lying naked on the floor (covers anatomy, imitates with arms of legs spread on floor)

*

Illusion never changed (imitates a magician)

Into something real (reels in a fish)

I'm wide awake (imitates fish "awake")

and I can see the perfect sky (he see and makes a circle)

is torn (tears an invisible paper)

*

You're a little late (fake scolding talk, points to watch)

I'm already torn

*

(He ad libs from here on out)

For those of you who are frowning about this clip, lighten up! For those who are wearing cochlear implants, this is a good time to improve your hearing by watching this clip to try and listen and follow the lyrics. You'll really enjoy this comedy routine. I promise you that. For those who wears a hearing aid, it's funny and try and follow the lyrics as you watch. Now, for those who are Deaf/deaf it's still funny if you watch the performance since it follows the stanza ("breaks") in the lyrics.

Guess what the sign is for "man" ?

It's a comedy fer Pete's sake! Lighten up, dudes.

This guy a genius. He's going to go places and people love his performance "Torn." Already this is being circulated all over the internet passing around this very funny clip.

Enjoy.

Haven't You Heard? Iraq Constitution Passes Muster Among Iraqi Voters

Yes. Shocking news for Liberals out there in la-la land. They've been screaming quagmire for the past 2 and half years. And for the second successful time the Iraqis used their new found democracy to vote. And the recent vote for the constitution referendum passed muster:

The vote on the constitution was 78.59 percent in favor of ratification and 21.41 percent against, the Independent Electoral Commission of Iraq said. The charter required a simple majority nationwide with the provision that if two-thirds of the voters in any three provinces rejected it, the constitution would be defeated.

The referendum results, announced after a 10-day audit following allegations of fraud, confirmed previous indications that Sunni Arabs failed to produce the two-thirds "no" vote they would have needed in at least three of Iraq's 18 provinces to defeat the constitution.

The charter is considered a major step in Iraq's democratic reforms, clearing the way for the election of a new, full-term Iraqi parliament on Dec. 15. Such steps are important in any decision about the future withdrawal of U.S.-led forces from Iraq.

Congrats to the Iraqi people. Proof of concept that democracy does work whether if the referendum passed or failed. Of course, there will be naysayers, doomsayers and people who just drip with venom that'll come out of the woodwork everytime something successful happens.

I wonder if the Sheehan crowd will make a note of the successful Iraq constitutional referendum vote? For democracy to gain a foothold requires time, committment, faith and blood. As always, freedom is never free. Sacrifice is what it takes. Sheehan forgets that very readily just to make a buck and a shot at momentary fame and recognition defiling and embarrassing the memory of her dead son. She even has an excuse for that, too.

UPDATE: Sheehan, despite her pathetic excuse, smiled all the way to the police's paddy wagon along with other women sitting there, glumly and not looking too thrilled about getting arrested. See the video. Kudos to Sheehan on exploiting capitalism via politics and recognition.

More glummy article about the Iraq Constitution (before the successful passing of the referedum) by Sheehan and misses wildly the whole concept of freedom and democracy. Freedom is never free. We're there to help. Any step toward a more democratic and free country is always a success for the horribly oppressed people rather than be under the iron fist of tyranny and despotism and not have a voice.

A 1,005 lb Monster Bench Press!

Gene Rychlak Jr. Heard of him? I've been watching him and he's come a long way to actually bench press over (barely) 1000 lbs. Here's a video (allow about 30 seconds to load if you have a fast line) of him benching, officially, for the books 1005 lbs. at the 2004 IPA Nationals. He became the 1st man to bench over 1000 lbs. That's 1/2 a ton, folks! Considering that he weighed 380lbs at 6 ft 1 inch which makes him a rather large and rotund man. And extremely strong, too. He makes my bench press (without a bench shirt that I never use or have) of 340 lbs seem puny. But hey, that guy weighs nearly twice as me and a few inches taller. Just to note the difference a bit more, Gene was able to bench press 2.64 times his body weight but that was with a bench shirt which can can give him an additional 10% extra lift. In my opinion, using a bench shirt is pretty much like cheating since it acts like a spring. Regardless, this would mean I would have to bench press 475 lbs. I know what 475lbs feels like since I do partial bench presses (about once every 3 weeks) upward to 550 lbs by pressing up and down (at least one time for the heaviest ones) of about 3 or 4 inches from the top position rather than from the top down to the chest and back upward which would be the stand bench press. BTW, partial bench presses is scheduled for tomorrow. I'd be lucky if I can even budge an inch or two upward for 600 lbs. I can't imagine the pressure of 1000 lbs on a human body. It's something you have to get use to after awhile. After 21 years of working out with the weights, plus a 3 year hiatus, it is certainly fun to get back in again and make gains once again, bigger gains this time.

If there is one sport that I find interesting it's the Strongman games. Try and pick up a round, heavy concrete/stone ball. If you thought a medicine ball was heavy, you haven't picked up a stone ball before. Tire flips and farmer's walk are usually standard fares in a strongman games. There are numerous other events, and the one who completes all of the events with the most points wins the competition. Each games are not the same and most events are usually standard with some additional ones added.

In the past these games were reserved only for the heaviest and strongest persons but now there are more of these strongman games in the lighter weight category with the lightest category being under 200 lbs for men. At least the under 200lbs is much more palatable to work up to than to getting up to 231 lbs just to take advantage of the extra weight and strength gains. Usually these strongman events have only just two weight categories such as 232 lbs and over, and under 231 lbs.

Whatever the weight category, I think it's a fun sport to watch or even more so to participate in one. And over the years these strongman events have become more popular (thanks to ESPN) just like poker tournaments have gotten popular over the years. In fact, there is one deaf person that I'm aware of that have participated in a strongman event. And that would be Andy Medak.

Are you a deaf or hh strongman, powerlifter, or an olympic lifter?

When Washington Post Gets Duped by Telegraph Daily on False Reporting

Now, the Washington Post must be seeing red for printing out an inaccurate report on the claim that one US civilian contractor was burned alive and killed while 3 others were shot in the head as reported by Britain's Daily Telegraph with the headline emblazoned:

U.S. Confirms Killing Of Contractors in Iraq - Four Were Slain by Angry Mob Last Month

"U.S. confirms killing"? And how exactly did the Washington Post ensured that it was confirmed? Because the Daily Telegraph says so? Didn't John Ward Anderson and Steve Fainaru from Washington Post Foreign Service who wrote that in yesterday's article ever tried calling a few military people just to double check on the Daily Telegraph's supposed "confirmation" ?

It is interesting, however, that the Daily Telegraph wrote that story on October 22, 2005, a few days after the burning of the Taliban dead bodies was reported by the media. Either they were careless in their reporting, or there is an agenda here to mislead others with disinformation. Either way, it was poor journalistic work. Even many of the bloggers can do better. This is little comfort coming from the MSM outlets on hoping that they follow a bit of proper journalism protocol seeing how big a boo boo they both made.

Here's the actual confirmation as reported by the Associated Press today:

BAGHDAD, Iraq The U-S military is denying a newspaper report that the bodies of four American contractors killed in Iraq were set on fire by a mob.

The military says all four were in their vehicles with bullet wounds and one of them was burned from a vehicle fire. It says another one was injured but later died of his wounds.

What will Washington Post (and the rest of the MSM) do to ensure that they follow through with the proper journalistic protocols on ensuring that the story they have is correct and not just hearsay?

Both WaPo and DT need to do some answering here.

Ok, how many of you bloggers out there were duped by this and ranted over the fake reporting by WaPo and Daily Telegraph?

Hurricane Wilma on the Fast Track to Florida

Hurricane Wilma is on a fast track now with speed of 12 mph (NE) and will probably go a little faster as the day wears on. Amy Kurz and her family, we're thinking of you. Batten down the hatches! Also, my mother and her husband live just 40 miles east of Fort Myers. They, too, have already put up the shutters on her windows. They have enough food and water, drinks to last a couple of weeks and expect the power to go out for a few days or so.

And, no, this isn't the result of "global warning," either. It's the same trend that we had 1950s and 1960s when we had a rash of hurricanes. Oh sure, we had more Cat. 5 hurricanes in one season in the past but the frequency of Class 3 or higher hurricanes is mimicking the trend back in the 1950s and 1960s. Must've been some serious global warming then. And then it got relatively "quiet" after that only to get cranked up again, from th e mid-1990s onward.

Oh, btw, Greenland's ice sheet has been thickening up (here and especially here) and if all of that ice melted, it would raise the sea water level about 15 to 20 feet. If we're in a "global warning" as so many chicken littles are saying, then why are the ice sheets of Greenland have been getting thicker every year?

*Since 1980, there has been an advance of more than 55% of the 625 mountain glaciers under observation by the World Glacier Monitoring group in Zurich. (From 1926 to 1960, some 70-95% of these glaciers were in retreat.)

• A comparison of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 1965 and
1990 Plant Hardiness Zone Maps, shows a southward change of one zone, or 10°F, between 1965 and 1990.

• Careful measurements of the oxygen isotope ratios in German oaks, which are rigorously calibrated to temperature data, show a 1°C temperature decline from 1350 to 1800 (the lowpoint of the Little Ice Age). Temperature thereafter increased by 1°C from 1800 to 1930, and has been declining since then.

• From weather stations in the Alps, and in the Nordic countries, we find the temperature decline since 1930 is also 1°C.

• Satellite measurements have shown growth in the height and breadth of the huge Greenland ice sheet, the largest in the Northern Hemisphere.

Others (a great source of info!) have noted elsewhere that ice and snow are accumulating as well as changes in avg. temperature which in many places have gotten colder.

Go ahead and play the chicken little game while feigning ignorance my little chickadees.

Lady-Boys and Girlie-Men, Terrorists and Terrorist Sympathizers

Oh..oh....oh!....hand wringers over there....there, too....how about here? Don't get yourself in a tizzy, I'm talking about those Islamic terrorist dogs who would even eat their own brothers if it would serve a purpose. Those Islamic terrorists and extremists, and sympathizers, are needlessly being overly sensitive ignoring even the facts they have also mutilated US soldiers and American bodies time and time again. It's called..*gasp!...war.

Time Magazine reported yesterday that U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan had to burn the bodies of dead Islamic terrorists because they were BLOATED and they STANK under the 90 degrees plus heat! Well, have you ever smelled dead but obviously bloated bodies rotting under the sun for a few days? It isn't air freshner that's for sure.

It was then that Lt. Nelson took the decision that could jeopardize his service career. "We decided to burn the bodies," one soldier recounts, "because they were bloated and they stank." News of this cremation may have remained on these scorching hills of southern Afghanistan, had the gruesome act not been recorded on film by an Australian photojournalist, Stephen Dupont. Instead, when the footage aired on Australian TV on Wednesday, it unleashed world outrage. A Pentagon spokesman described the incident as "repugnant" and said that the army was launching a criminal investigation into the alleged desecration of the corpses, which is in violation of the Geneva Convention on human rights.

Fueling the furor was the fact that the TV report showed that after the bodies were torched, a U.S. Psychological-Operations team descended on Gonbaz in Humvees with their loudspeakers booming: "Taliban, you are cowardly dogs. You are too scared to come down and retrieve the bodies. This just proves you are the lady-boys we always believed you to be."

Well, that's a new new insult, "Lady-boys." Must be a slight derivative of Arnold's smack, "Girlie-men." It's all part of the Psy-Ops on the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq by American forces. Surely, more Hand Wringers of America will step forward and do some more analysis claiming that by taunting Islamic terrorists with such insults as "Lady-boys" will be damaging to their psyche and well-being. And giving an excuse to handle this war with kids gloves thus leading to a more "sensitive war." Pink bonnets and flowers for the terrorists.

Yeah, that's the ticket.

Burn 'em, boys! Burn the Lady-boys.

Heh.

And, a Semper Fi, too!

U.N. Supports Despotism, Islamic Terrorism, and Tyranny

This goes from bad to worse for the U.N. now that more documents and evidence that seemingly ties the U.N. to the al Qaeda network. Another reason why the U.N. shouldn't be trusted. There are numerous dictators that are a member of U.N. One is Robert Mugabe who is a poster boy for the U.N. and a ruthless dictator of Zimbabwe who starves his own people for political purposes on World Food Day and compares President Bush to Hitler.

Most of the civilized world recognizes Robert Mugabe as a brutal tyrant responsible for transforming what was once the breadbasket of the African continent into a place of destitution, and dependence on the West.

The United States alone has donated nearly $300 million worth of food to Zimbabwe since 2002, and it's hard to see how a single penny of that aid did not go to waste.

This is a country where government-sanctioned theft of land from white farmers has led to black starvation, and where information about the regime's grain reserves are guarded from the U.N. and the Zimbabwean people in the way terrorist states keep secret their weapons of mass destruction programs.

Someone naive to the U.N.'s ways might expect to see sanctions imposed on Mugabe's regime. Instead, Mugabe was invited to speak to the 60th anniversary of the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization in Rome — in spite of a European Union ban on Mugabe's travel.

If you support the U.N. you also support Islamic terrorism, despotism, tyranny and dictatorship. It's time to weed out the vile and corrupt U.N. once and for all.

Sensitive Liberals Lending a Hand to Sensitive Muslim Fanatics?

I heard about this yesterday and Michelle Malkins re-iterates this again at her site about the burning of corpses of Taliban fighters in Afghanistan that Moonbats are making hay over this new allegation by the Australian "journalists" with a television footage that purportedly shows US soldiers burning the bodies. This time it's the "abuse" of corpses that took place in a battle field. Well, I can see how sensitive Liberal journalists beget a sensitive Liberal audience. Next time, we'll make sure US troops get permission from the enemy on what to do with a dead Islamic terrorist body and help them pick up the 1000 pieces, too.

Hey, I have no qualms about burning them up. It's no different than Taliban fighters getting caught in a burning hut caused by the Coalition weapons. Or a 500 lb bomb ripping through their "secret" headquarters blowing them up into several thousand pieces. How many of those Taliban fighters had to abandoned their brothers to rot under the sun? This is war. What do the Australian journalists want? A more sensitive war?

Haven't we forgotten what the evils of Islamic terrorists have done when they also multilate corpses?

Remember this one?


3000 dead. Burned. Crushed, Dismembered.
Many of them unaccounted for. We can't
account for them. Why should the Talibans?


Hey, I'm for burning up the bodies of Taliban fighters if it necessary on war against terrorism as part of their psychological warfare tactics. Now, if the Taliban fighters had enough sense to stop their 14th century backward thinking maybe they (and the women) would be better off in today's society by stopping this nonsense. Remember, we are at war and the battle field is not a playground. Many do go MIA. We're not playing Guatanamo Bay here handling the Koran with white kids gloves and give jailed Islamic terrorists the 5 star spa treatment at Club Gitmo. This is a battle field. A completely different scenario here. I'd say that once these Islamic terrorists get killed in action, bury them all in pig skins. Burn 'em. Let them rot under the sun for months. Or let the vultures eat the corpses and turn them into vulture droppings. If the Taliban fighters want to claim the bodies, they'd best surrender first. Simple as that.

One Year Anniversary of Kokonut Pundits

Well, well, well. It's been one year to this day that I started my blog called "Kokonut Pundits." People have cried over it. People have threatened me over it. People have laughed. People have cursed over it. People have found it to be an enjoyable read. People were intimidated by it. A few have decided to become a stalker where in one case I have earned one offical fan of"Kokonut Pundits" who is a bonafide Deaf stalker accessing multiple computers just to let me know that' he's a crackpot. And there were people who cannot read well went over into simpler territories by visiting other blogsites. A surprise did come when there were people who met me on the streets and talked about my blogsite. And so on. Always something interesting.

My first blog was called "Opening salvo against Kerry's grab."

It happened. Finally happened when a Democrat deaf and hard of hearing American group called "National Deaf and Hard of Hearing Americans for Kerry/Edwards Steering Committee" (a mouthful!) was officially endorsed by the Kerry/Edwards in their website as the lay claims to 28 million deaf and hard of hearing Americans as their own. Needless to say they do not represent me, nor to the million others deaf and hard of hearing Americans who support George W. Bush

Thus began my foray into the world of other people's ludicrousness by pointing out their inanities. Their creativity of it. Or simply because I found them interesting enough to blog the details on my blog site. Of course, you wouldn't want to forget my famous Bush rally pictures. That was some classic pictures I took.

My blogsite "Kokonut Pundits" was referred to a few times in Michelle Malkin, Iowa Voice. Blogs for Bush, and Captains Quarters, for example. Plus numerous other lesser known Conservatives (and Liberals) that have linked to my blogsite to reference my articles.

As for sizing up my blogsite with others, here they are:

On the Technorati scale, my blog is now ranked at #4,968 with 798 links from 202 sites. The number of blogs that Technorati covers stands at 19.9 million blogs.

My "Average Per Day" hits currently stands at 101.

My "Average Vist Length" has gone up remarkably over the last several months with average visit length of exactly at 4:00 (4 minutes).

So far, over 26,000 hits or the number of times people have visited my blogsite. Although two months went missing when I took the Site Meter button off but later I decided to put it back up again. I joined the Site Meter on December 11, 2004 versus starting my blog on October 22, 2004. So the number should be a little bit higher, probably close to 30,000 by now. But hey, 26,000 is fine.

Now, what will the 2nd year bode me in my continued blogging while I cover politics, deafness issues, Republicans, Liberals, sensitive Democrats, national security, technology and so on? Only time will tell. This blogging is a hobby (out of few others I do) of mine since I do enjoy writing like so many others out there.

Are you going to blog or what?

Hurricane Wilma's Eye Over Cozumel

Amazing radar photo of Hurricane Wilma's eye over the island of Cozumel. The length of the island is 30 miles long while the eye of the hurricane encompasses the whole island with the eye being about 40 miles along the oblong length of it. Constant windspeed of 145 mph has certainly battered the island and as of right now, it's calm blue skies where people are undoubtedly coming out of their shelters with many of them not knowing that the storm isn't over! The second phase of the storm is almost upon them. The eastern and northeastern quadrant of the storm is the worst part. Keep them in your prayers.


Now you people, get back into your shelters! This island is going to get destroyed and will feel the economic impact with destroyed infrastructures and no tourism for years to come. Cancel your 2006 spring break, folks.

Hey! No Fair! DeLay's Smiling!

Just as I thought this would happen. "Dems Complain About DeLay's Smiling Mug Shot"

The Texas Republican is smiling, dressed in a suit and wearing his House pin.
Unlike most mug shots, the photograph being circulated on the Internet does not include written information at the bottom, so it looks more like an ordinary snapshot than a mug shot.

That bothers many of the bloggers on the Democrat's "Kicking Ass" website.

Some complained that the official mug shot "doesn't look real -- no ID markings, no booking numbers, etc." Others wanted to see the profile shot."I want a copy of the warrent [sic] for the back of a t-shirt and his mug on the front," one Democrat wrote. Others indicated they'd like to wipe the smile off DeLay's face.

Ha ha! Outwitted. Ever see a movie called "Dumb and Dumber" ?

Curses, foiled again! So desperate are these Liberal nutballs they decided to produce fake mugshots instead for their own T-shirt. Even a sorry Liberal radio station tried their hands at photoshopping using Nick Nolte's own mugshot and his famous disheveled look with Tom DeLay's face.

Next, maybe they'll try and look for a Texas statute buried somewhere that specifically forbade any smiling (only if you want to leave the country) for those arrested and booked when they get photographed.


Free Democratic Party seal is now

Deaf Frappers!

The Frapper! is a Google mapping website for those who want to make their own locator map based on a group's affiliations or commonalities anywhere from deafness to politics. There are now several deaf and hard of hearing groups that are using the Frapper! website for their own fun and purpose.

Deafreedom is starting to have its members put their names on the map. Deaf America has one, too. Cochlear Implantees are making themselves known. There is even a Deaf Bloggers map that's starting. Then there's this "Deaf Gang" and "Deaf Climbers." And finally there is a "Gallaudet Alumni" map, apparently very new for those who graduated from Gallaudet University. Here's another one.

Check out the search result on "deaf" every so often and you may find more deaf groups that are added to the "deaf" Frapper! list.

Hey, if you have a particular interest, hobby or an affiliation and want to know where those people are? Create one! It's easy. So, start your Frapper! today.


UPDATE: Here's a weird one.

Thanks for the info Mizhko.

Smile, Tom DeLay! Smile!

Drats! Foiled Again. Now, Democrats can't use Tom DeLay's mugshot photo. It is just...too.. cheerful!

The horrors! How dare he, uh...smile! Next thing Liberals will say that his smiling is a sign of arrogance. Little do they know. He smiles cause he knows Liberals cannot do anything with that photograph except whine about it. And yet they still have him convicted. Remember kiddies, he stand indicted, not convicted. Very typical of them. Remember the old adage, innocent until proven guilty? Tom DeLay is innocent as of now. The very reason why we shouldn't trust people who have the "Guilty until proven innocent" mentality. You know who those people are.




Republican Tom DeLay took a big smile for his much touted and expected mugshot after being issued for an arrest warrant. Note the clean look. Sparkly smile. No creases in the suit. The House of Representatives security pin on his lapel meticuously positioned. Oh, double drats! The perfectly arranged tie. The well combed hair. And none of the dreary and humiliating photo shot seen elsewhere in other people's mugshots. How dare he smile for a mugshot!! Why, he, he, he was just indicted! And yet he was called into court for fingerprinting and a mugshot like a common criminal just as the Democrats had hoped for.

Note to kiddies once more, "indicted" does not mean guilty nor is it a conviction, either. It's the conviction charge that counts where the charged gets to wear that special orange prison jumpsuit. Although this is what the Democrats were hoping for by making Tom DeLay look like a common criminal who wasn't even convicted yet. If you're convicted of a crime(s), then certainly you'd have nothing to smile for. Heck, this is probably Tom Delay's best photo shot ever. So atypical is his mugshot it outshines the sleazy and CONVICTED (not indicted) Liberal Democrat James Traficant's own bland and dreary mugshot with an unkempt look to it.

James Traficant, the hairhat-wearing former Ohio congressman, was photographed at the Summit County, Ohio jail in July 2002. The disgraced Democrat was awaiting transfer to a federal prison where he will serve eight years after being found guilty of racketeering, bribery, and fraud charges.

And I'll bet with Tom DeLay's new mugshot photo he will use this photo for future political events or rallies. I'm sure he'll be signing his new glossy 11 x 13 copies of his mugshot for his political admirers soon enough.

Because the overly zealous Liberal D.A. Ronnie Earle continues to be the idiot, he probably did not realize that under Texas law Tom DeLay was allowed to be booked at a place of his choosing. And yet the MSM press dogs were salivating at the prospect of taking pictures of him taking the "perp walk" to Fort Bend county where he resides. Instead, he goes to Harris County Sheriff's Department in Houston. By surrendering in Houston, DeLay was able to avoid the now obviously gullible media press corps that were camped out in nearby Fort Bend County after being led to believe he would choose to be booked there so close to his home. You would think he'd be that stupid to let the press to take pictures of him going into the county Sherrif's office? DeLay flew into Texas on a private jet with two Capitol Hill police officers. And then promptly (I'm assuming here since he's not that stupid to stay around) flew back out while the media hounds ended up scratching their heads looking like jackasses. Well, they are mostly that.

What a smart Republican.

What dumb Liberals and MSM Liberal dogs.

Tom DeLay smartly avoided all of the paparazzi-like media photos, the frenzy, the whole mainstream media going agog over this rare opportunity only to get the slip. And the Liberals get foiled once more when he smiled for the camera making the photo look as good or even better as any standard Congressional photo.

Now, if you haven't figured it out, it was all a fabricated sham dreamt up by none other than the Travis county prosecutor, Ronnie Earle. The next step? Sue the living daylight out of Ronnie Earle for prosecutorial misconduct and the misuse of District Attorney's power for political purposes.

Joel Hinrichs and the Missing 51,000 lbs of Urea Nitrate Fertilizer

One of the reason that may have gotten the FBI and the Joint Terrorism Task Force's intense scrutiny and secretive nature over Joel Hinrichs may be related to the 51,000 pounds of urea nitrate that went missing on May 25, 2005 in Little Rock, AK. And red flags were waving when Joel Hinrichs attempted to purchase a significant amount of ammonium nitrate fertilizer at a feed store in Norman, OK, two days earlier before his suicide (or attempted murder) near the Oklahoma University stadium packed with 84,000 people on Saturday, October 1, 2005.

Oklahoma University President, David Boren, attempted to brush this aside 48 hours after the incident as completely unrelated to terrorism. Jason Smith of Generation Why? has more on this questioning the FBI, JTTF, and David Boren.

According to Douglas J. Hagmann, Director of Homeland Security US website, and Randy Taylor, Senior Analyst, opinion about the OU President and FBI's response to the suicide, by saying the whole thing was "Baloney" in their October 13, 2005 article "Fibs, Fertilizer & the FBI." They explain with their own (conspiracy) theory about the extra hush hush work:

On Wednesday, May 25, 2005, 51,000 pounds of urea fertilizer went missing in Little Rock, Arkansas. To date, that fertilizer has yet to be found. on Wednesday, June 1, 2005, Highway Information Sharing and Analysis Center issued a bulletin about the missing J & M Transport truck, the driver and cargo. The FBI became involved, at that time citing the potential for the cargo to be used as a critical component in a fertilizer-based explosive. BOLO's or "Be on the Lookout" bulletins were issued, and FBI agents searched the Arkansas area for the missing truck, its driver and contents.

On June 3, 2005, after the empty truck was found - but not the 51,000 pounds of fertilizer, the FBI called off their search for the missing fertilizer as they determined that the cargo "was not particularly dangerous." According to FBI spokesman Special Agent Steve Frazier, the Terrorism Task Force "determined that the missing fertilizer was urea-based and used primarily for grass and rice - not the more hazardous nitrate-based fertilizer." It should be noted that the latter is what "lone despondent O.U. bomber Joel Henry Hinrichs was shopping for 2 days before his death by explosion.

The explosion that killed Joel Hinrichs had enough explosives, a tiny amount but no info on the ounces it used that killed him. Or how spectactular it was whether body parts flew or not. But the Northeast Intelligence Network has a video of 3.53 ounces (100 grams) or almost 1/4 lb of urea nitrate fertilizer used in a explosion demo that was taken off of a jihad website. The amount of urea nitrate used weighed 3 times more than the average cell phone.

Now, we have 51,000 POUNDS! of urea nitrate missing. Looking at the video of urea nitrate that was ignited contained barely 1/4 pound of the stuff. Imagine 51,000 pounds of it going off. Or have 510 of these 100 pounds of urea nitrate being placed in various key areas to maim, destroy and murder innocent U.S. civilians.

Randy Taylor has this to say,

From the main component of the fertilizer bomb to the explanations of the Oklahoma office of the FBI and the President of O.U., their explanations are truly manure.

The mainstream media continues to be conspicuous by their absence in their coverage of the O.U. bombing story - and the 51,000 pounds of urea nitrate is conspicuously absent as well.

It does sound fishy. Even Mark Tapscott has this to say when found out yesterday that Joel Hinrichs shaved his beard before inquiring about the fertilizer at the Norman, OK feed store:

It should be noted that Islamic suicide bombers often shave just prior to carrying out their deadly acts. This is not "proof" that Hinrichs was on a similar suicide bombing mission, of course, but his beard was one of his most memorable features. His father has said that his son "looked like Abraham Lincoln since he was in high school."

If Joel's beard was his identity throughout high school and beyond, why the shaving of the beard? One of many questions in this FBI/JTTF investigation that goes unanswered.

Indeed.

Now, here's a tangent FYI. If you want to help, go visit the Google map site "Known Terrorist Activities or Attacks" and enter your own piece of linked information of terrorist actitivies around the U.S./Canada (or even the world). I decided to set this up for my own sake but would be nice for bloggers to help with the additional info of different activities. Watch out for duplicates. Might get interesting on seeing what pattern emerges from this. We need the bloggers help in on this.

Known Terrorist Activities or Attacks via Google Map

Folks, I created a Google Map via Frappr! to map Known Terrorist Activities or Attacks in the United States and Canada (or anywhere else in the world, it wouldn't hurt). It is very easy to use. Just provide the zip code of the location of a known Islamic terrorist activity (or attack) reported in the news (or by bloggers just when the MSM won't cover it), add a few words or explaination in the shout box and provide a link to the information you provided. Please, I cannot stress how important it is to provide a link so that verification can be done for the sake of veracity and relevancy. And make sure the information hasn't been provided just to keep the duplicity down to a minimum and less clutter on the map.

If you want to help in being a part of the mapping process just click on the link and follow the rest of instruction. Everybody can help. If the FBI won't give us the details of these locations, we can provide our own map for the readers to get their news sources and information off of the Google map.

Also, again, make sure you are not adding the same information that was already added to the map. We needn't any unnecessary clutter of redundant information. If it hasn't been mentioned and you have the required information then put it down on the Google map for the readers. Hopefully with the bloggers' help we just might be able to produce an interesting and informative map result! Bloggers and those concerned about terrorist activities in the United States can certainly be a big part of this mapping effort. There are bloggers who do and then there are bloggers who don't.

Nowadays, it is by no coincidence that well known Conservative or well minded bloggers such as Michelle Malkin, Mark Tapscott, or Jason Smith of Generation Why? are known to hold certain journalist integrity by providing important info because wanting to know the truth isn't a crime. But compare to the MSM, they continue to indulge in their own petty refusals to cover certain news that we may consider important and possibly life saving information where we are in the midst of a war against terrorism. Even if they do cover these news they usually have it buried on page A22 in their newspapers. Little justice does that do.

I am hoping that over time (in short order with the bloggers' help and their voracious appetite for information) we may able to quickly see a pattern emerge based on the locations of past terrorist activities or, God forbid, attacks. I started with the 9/11 attack as an example and a link to Wikipedia to get it going. You guys can help me with the rest. Now, go and dig as much information as far back as possible and provide any credible information of known Islamic terrorist activities or attacks that took place and put it on the map. Even prior to 9/11/2001 such as the bombing at the WTC in 1993 or earlier if there is enough information.

Start your digging and watch the transformation unfold.

And start passing around the "Known Terrorist Activities and Attacks" link and add it to your blog. Let your favorite blogger or friends know about this link.

Hey, this could get quite interesting if ya'll just jump in!


Semper Fi!

Deaf Bloggers Google Map

Got this message from somebody who gave me this new hyperlink address to a Google mapping site that contains the locations of "Deaf Bloggers." It's new and looks like only a few were added so far.

This is a Google map beta version called "Frapper!" Apparently it's very easy to use, of course. Just add your zip code, your blogsite name, any message to add in the shout box, and add your link address. Simple! A quick and easy visual look on where everybody is located at a glance. You can even make your own whether it's based on Deaf Chat Coffee locations or whatever. If there is a valid zip code in the United States and, apparently, in Canada (or anywhere else in the world) then you can put down your own location on the Frapper! map or if you're a deaf/hh blogger add it to the Deaf Bloggers Frapper! site.

Pass it around the Deaf Bloggers Frapper! address link and add it to your blog!
http://www.risingconcepts.com/frapper/deafbloggers

It's neat and fun. Google is really getting creative here.

UPDATE: Did some playing around in a different Google map and realized that while writing comments in the shout box, be sure to hit the return key often keeping the writing short in length rather than having one long uninterupted written length which will show up as a stretched out bubble on the Google map. Click on "Banjo" the very first Deaf blogger to put his name on the map and you'll see what I mean.

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff Says All Illegal Aliens Out!

Finally. Finally! Somebody in the administration has the gut to publicly announce that all illegal aliens in the United States need to be deported back to their country. Why? Well, they're here illegally you dimwits! Why do you need passports to visit other countries? And if you're caught there illegally without a passport or some other documents does it mean you get to stay there? There you go. That's using you're own noodles. That's what grey matters are for.

Our goal at DHS (Homeland Security) is to completely eliminate the 'catch and release' enforcement problem, and return every single illegal entrant, no exceptions.

"It should be possible to achieve significant and measurable progress to this end in less than a year," Chertoff told a Senate hearing. Thousands of "Mexicans who are caught entering the United States illegally are returned immediately to Mexico. But other parts of the system have nearly collapsed under the weight of numbers. The problem is especially severe for non-Mexicans apprehended at the southwest border," Chertoff explained.

"Today, a non-Mexican illegal immigrant caught trying to enter the United States across the southwest border has an 80 percent chance of being released immediately because we lack the holding facilities," he added.

"Through a comprehensive approach, we are moving to end this 'catch and release' style of border enforcement by reengineering our detention and removal process."

Chertoff's remarks in favor of returning "every illegal entrant, no exceptions" appeared to conflict directly with the US policy toward illegal Cuban migrants.

Read his lips..."No exceptions!" This whole illegal aliens and porous borders are considered a national security issue. Now, I'm sure Mexicathat are here illegally are planning ways to go into hidings. Now, I favor those who enter the U.S. legally whether to visit or to become a citizen someday. If you don't think so, then I'd suggest you leave your front door open all the time so anybody can come in as they wish.

We'll see how this one goes. That's the first step, announce that you're coming to get the illegal aliens and get them out for those who do not have the proper documents.

Another Soldier Steps In for Clarification on the "Staged" Accusation

Like I said, interview the damn soldiers for clarifications about the so-called "staged" teleconference with President Bush last week! These MSM outlets are total idiots. They go out of their way to bash President Bush on the live teleconference saying everything was staged and that the soldiers' own words weren't their own. Now, we have another soldier stepping forward adding more to the old phrase about the MSM on catching them "red handed" for their deceitfulness. From the Chattanooga Times Free Press:

A Chattanooga soldier now in Iraq with the 278th Regimental Combat Team said soldiers used their own words during comments made last week in a satellite discussion with President Bush.

"We wanted to give President Bush a no-kidding assessment of what we have all been working 14- (to) 18-hour days on for the last 11 months," said Lt. Gregg Murphy, of Chattanooga. "We gave him the God’s honest truth as we know it."

The dialogue was among President Bush and 10 U.S. soldiers stationed in Iraq last Thursday on the eve of Iraq’s constitutional referendum. Media outlets have called the event staged because the solders went through a rehearsal before talking live with President Bush.

"Staged infers that we were given scripts and that we followed those scripts," Lt. Murphy wrote in an e-mail to the Chattanooga Times Free Press. "This is not true. None of the members on the panel used any words that were not their own."

Lt. Murphy said he was chosen to travel to Tikrit, Iraq, for the interview because he had spent the last three months leading an Iraqi army training program at a 278th base near the Iranian border.

They can't even track them down for clarification but these soldiers had to step forward for the clarification. The MSM sure can track down some yahoo guy in Texas about the fakey Bush memo in a moment's notice but refuse to ask the soldiers for clarification about their wordings...was it their own or not? Of course they were. You a fool or what?


Hat tip: Michelle Malkin

"If you must judge, judge wisely"

The motto written in Arabic and emblazoned in gold on the wall of a newly refurbished Iraqi court was seen a few days ago in a special Foxnews special of the upcoming Saddam trial. The pithy and wise motto says "If you must judge, judge wisely." I had assumed that this was some quote found in the Koran but after some extensive searching I couldn't find it. Perhaps under a different wording? Can anybody provide a passage quote? It would make sense coming from the Koran to use such quotes as some of the U.S. courts do the same. Regardless, that pithy quote reminds me of a statue of a blindfolded lady holding up a gravity scale seen in U.S. courts which signifies a "balanced" judgement without bias.

Conspiracy Theories versus Questionings

It's really funny when Liberals attack conservative bloggers whenever they question certain loose ends found in an investigation and brand them as a practicing conspiracy theorist. One, uh, Libertarian, said in reponse to my blog on Joel Hinrichs' death by self inflicted bombing:

"...looney right wing bloggers think it's a planned terrorist attack and question why the "MSM" (in their translation - "liberal media") is not reporting about that suicide. Kokonutguy says, "You can tell whose side the MSM is on....the side of the terrorists and not inform the public at large......."

If anybody ever take the time to actually read my blog, or other well respected true journalistic style reporting bloggers that I have linked like Tapscott's (who is, btw, a real practicing professional journalist), you'll see that I and others do not subscribe to a conspiracy theory about Joel Hinrichs. We do not make arguments for a terrorist connecton but rather question the surrounding incidents when there were many suspcicious incidents to begin with.

Michelle Malkin who had lots of questions about the incident, rather than committing to a conspiracy theory, tried to explain to a Wall Street Journal "journalist" who contacted her by phone to ask questions about the bombing incident in Norman, Oklahoma, a place where known terrorist activities took place. Much to the "journalist's" dismay, he didn't find a rabid conservative conspiracy theorist.

It's funny when people already conclude even before the FBI make the final conclusion that:

Joel's a lonely boy who wanted to end his life. There's no evidence he is tied to any terrorist organizations.

No. Not quite. Mince words you must you people. The FBI never said that there's no proof of a terrorist connection.

On October 4, the FBI issued a statement saying:

"At this time, there is no known link between Hinrichs and any terrorist or extremist organization(s) or activities."

Note the words, "At this time," which means the investigation is ongoing until they can determine exactly whether or not that there is indeed a terrorist connection or ties to Islamic organization(s). Why else would there be the FBI and Joint Terrorism Task Force at work here when it could simply be the Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearm (ATF) doing the investigation?

The string of incidents albeit suspicious in nature ought to be enough to force those to ask questions just as I have done with the Hinrichs' case. Michelle Malkin's reiterate once again to the reporter:

I explained that unlike the MSM, most of the blogs I have linked to were simply trying to find out the truth about the strange incident-and that meant keeping open the possibility that Hinrichs meant to commit murder and that he may have been swayed by extremist Islamic views.

Indeed. Next time, work on using that brain matter some more. I have never said there was a terrorist connection but simply asked questions that the FBI and JTTF have not answered so far. Until all possibilities are exhausted, the FBI and JTTF will provide the final conclusive report to the public.

New Mexico Spaceport, Where is That?

For those spacenuts or for those with a passing interest about space, here's my new blogsite about the upcoming New Mexico Spaceport where the next X-Prize Cup will take place in 2006. As the date gets closer, more details will be provided. Check out the cool photos of where the spaceport will be located.

Prepped, Staged, Scripted, Coached and Rehearsal.

The words used in the Newsbuster Part 2: Shocked, Just Shocked Net Reporters Hype “Staged” Bush Event with Troops were "prepped," "staged," "Scripted," and "Rehearsed." These is the classic MSM attempt to make this an issue rather than to cover the Iraq's successful voting for the constitution referendum.

Here are the key "shocking" words used to try and highlight this important non-issue coverage one day before the Iraq's historical referendum vote.

Staged, 8 times.
Scripted, 3 times.
Prepped, 1 time
Rehearsal, 3 times.
Coached, 11 times.

The MSM is going nuts over this in such an unprecendented disproportion compared to Gore and Clinton's obviously staged events, which was received with very little fanfare by the MSM.

All this preparation with the soldiers was done before news reporters covering the rehearsals which indicated that nothing was trying to be hidden from the public. How come the MSM don't take a note on that one?

And here's peppy Katie Couric's tongue-in-cheek commentary wondering if this had gone too far:

"Many White House photo-ops are staged events, but did the most recent one go too far? President Bush held a video conference on Thursday with U.S. troops in Iraq. But some eyebrows were raised by what came over the satellite beforehand: A Pentagon aide rehearsing the soldiers' answers."

Maybe bring up Clinton's Normandy beach where he suddenly "found" rocks on the glass smooth sandy beach and made them into a cross, and then he shed a tear or two? Here's one reporter O'Donnell telling Couric about what the White House said:

O'Donnell: "The White House had said the soldier's comments were not pre-screened, expressing only their opinions. The larger context of all this, President Bush has found the war's cost an increasingly tough sell at home. Here he called on soldiers to help make the case."

And why not? Ever wonder why the MSM do not report on anything good that has happened in Iraq? Where many, many, many! good things that were done in Iraq so far that the MSM refuse to touch with a 10ft pole. This is not balanced coverage and the MSM is doing their best to hide the actual going ons in Iraq. How conveniently the MSM ignored the facts of a great many things that took place. It's always a "quagmire." I guess January's vote was a "quagmire"? So was yesterday's historic vote with some 60 - 65% of the Iraqis voting. That's a "quagmire," too, according to the MSM outlets full with Liberals working hard at deceitfulness and half-truths to outright purposeful hiding of positive events.

Major General Rick Lynch in Iraq maintained that “those soldiers yesterday were giving their opinion" in a live interview with Miles O'Brien. O'Donnell makes a point here.

O'Donnell: "Master Sergeant Corine Lombardo said the soldiers had discussed their answers, but knew what they wanted to say, and practiced to appear articulate before the Commander-in-Chief. And a top spokesman for the Department of Defense also put out a statement trying to further clarify what happened. Saying in part [text on screen] 'No one intended to tell them what to think or how to express themselves. Going through likely questions in advance was meant solely to help the troops feel at ease. We certainly regret any perception that they were told what to say. It is not the case.'

And yet, again, nobody during the rehearsal hid their practices from the reporters covering this preparation for a live teleconference with the President. O'Brien continues to try (and sputters) in his feeble attempt to say that words were put into the soldiers' mouths:

Major General Rick Lynch, via satellite from Iraq: "We have absolutely no concern. I’ve got to tell you, yesterday was blown out of proportion. There are technical details that we battle every day here in Iraq. And all we were trying to do yesterday is work through the technical issues of young service members talking to their Commander-in-Chief. None of those service members were coached as to what to say."

O’Brien, talking over Lynch: "No, no, no, there was, but there was–"

Lynch: "None of those service members were coached as to what to say."

O’Brien: "–there was, there was more than technical. There was more than technical. There was editorial content in all of that. It wasn’t just, you know, can you hear me, I can hear you kind of stuff. It was actually, here’s what he’s going to say, here’s what you might want to say in response, right?"

Lynch: "Again, that’s blown out of proportion. Those young men and women were expressing their opinion. If you come over and talk to the soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines we have on the ground her in Iraq today, they arevery proud of what they're doing. They're protecting freedom and our way of life and they're proud of that fact and they will express their opinion when asked. Every visitor that comes over that talks to our soldiers leaves with a positive assessment. And those soldiers yesterday were giving their opinion."

And finally, none of the MSM ever interviewed the soldiers who were a part of the teleconference with President Bush. And you know why the MSM won't interview the soldiers for clarification about their teleconference, or even just interview at random about the successes occuring in Iraq on their (the Iraqis) march to democracy and freedom? Because they are afraid of the actual truth and do not like losing. Just like what one clueless reporter hoped it get negative fodder to bash some more on President Bush from the evacuees of New Orleans.

Please, MSM outlets, go and interview those soldiers!!

Again, all this is a non-issue solely designed to take away or minimize the successes of the (then upcoming) Iraq's historical constitution referendum vote. A democracy in action that the MSM is careful not to provide with much fanfare. All throughout the war against terrorism, the MSM has consistently provided negative coverage that was designed to demoralize the troops, America and give aid and comfort to the enemy terrorists by providing them fodder and support for their own murderous agenda against America and freedom loving countries.

Now, that the voting was a smashing success, the MSM will use this "staged" story as a way to upstage the freedom-loving Iraqis who risked their lives to vote with the minds made possible only because America recognized the value of freedom.

How ironic. MSM values their own freedom but bash other countries that are trying to achieve their own freedom. Edward Daley has more on this ridiculousness. And here is a video of the Iraqis celebrating their freedom and democracy yesterday that the MSM refuse to cover (hat tip: Iraq the Model).

Tapscott on Oklahoma University Bombing Incident

Read Mark Tapscott's blog as he continues to delve into the suspicious nature of the Hinrichs' suicide (or accidental) bombing at Oklahomo University with more questions than there are answers. Also, he was on CNN yesterday discussing the case with a retired FBI agent who said:

Interesting day. I taped two sessions, the latter with host Aaron Brown and Pat Demuro (SP?), a former FBI agent who seemed almost as unconvinced as I am of the lone suicide scenario that has been the official explanation since only a few hours after Hinrichs died.

The thing is this, you have a suicide bombing (unless it was an accidental one but not likely if the bomb was strapped to his chest, kiddies) here in the United States, which is very, very rare. Even rarer if the bombing suicide took place in the venue of a public place only yards away from the OU football stadium where 84,000 fans were there. Plus surrounding incidents as wanting to buy a large quantity of ammonium nitrate fertilizer at a feed store. Has a Pakistani roommate. The quantity of bomb-making materials found in Hinrichs apartment with enough explosive power to jolt the city of Norman, Oklahoma. The city itself has a history of terrorists residing there. Mosques. And lots more.
One cannot simply say, oh, he was a loner and acted alone, and leave it at that. A dangerous follow through for anybody not concerned where this may lead to. Not acting on these questions could result more innocent Americans getting killed. Foolhardy for Liberals to even suggest letting this investigation go. We need to know the where, the how, and why he did this. Was he inspired by terrorists and acted alone? Are there other connections? Why near a public venue for this suicide? Etc...etc...

Even the FBI is not denying nor confirming that there are terrorist connections. It's too early to say. The investigation continues. Read Tapscott's blog to get the latest update. A good read.

Will the Moonbats Rise Up Again to Protest Iraq's Vote on the Constitution Referendum?

Remember this famous photo below after the hugely successful January 3o, 2005 Iraqi election? Even some of the Europeans were actually praising the successful election.




And also the sacrifices and dangers that the Iraqi people were willing to face to have this precious freedom that Americans take for granted to vote whomever they want.


Remember this one in the photo below when anti-freedom Liberals protested in March of 2005 about the successful, freedom loving Iraqis who voted willingly without coercion for the past 35 years?


I blogged this ugly detail back in March to recap on my January 2005 blog prediction that people will come out to protest the Iraqi vote in of all places, America. Lt. Smash has more on that Moonbatty day of anti-freedom Liberals that were out in force that day after Iraq's first successful vote in January 2005.



Numero uno! Viva la freedom! October 15, 2005. Iraq.

And now, the next victory photo seen above is from today's voting results in Iraq on the constitution referendum from Lt. Smash live-blogging on this historic event.

What will the anti-freedom Liberals say next after this election? It is expected to be just as a successful turnout as the one back in January 2005. More dour faced anti-freedom Liberals to protest this (a freedom they have here in America) successful voting process in Iraq? More purple middle-fingered anti-freedom Liberals hawking the street to protest this historic freedom loving event? What else?

They are certainly and hoping desperately to see Iraq fail rather than support this freedom for Iraqis from oppression, tyranny and despair when they have so much freedom here in the United States to protest such a concept over in Iraq. How ironic. Much of these Liberals would rather have Saddam Hussein back!

No. Freedom is what the Iraqis want. The Janaury 2005 election proved just that. And this election will prove it even more.


UPDATE: Michelle Malkin has more.

As polls closed at 5 p.m. (10 a.m. EDT), people in Baghdad fired guns into the air in celebration. Some Iraqis passed out sweets in the street, just ahead of the end of the day's Ramadan fast. Insurgents attacked five of Baghdad's 1,200 polling stations with shootings and bombs, wounding seven voters, but there were no major attacks reported as U.S. and Iraqi forces clamped down with major security measures around balloting sites. The United States hopes the constitution will be approved so Iraqis can form a permanent, representative government and secure the country so Washington can start withdrawing its 150,000 troops.

Indeed. Only 5 out 1200 polling stations were affected by attacks. No need to speak for the small minds of Islamic terrorists.
