A Live Air America Radio Band Aid Solution

In David Reinhard's editorial he offered a great idea on how to help the cash-strapped, scandal ridden, check bouncin' Air America Radio by setting up a Live Air America Radio Band Aid or the L.A.A.R.B.A solution. Get Dixie Chicks, Madonna, Sheryl Crow, Bruce Springsteen and Barbara Streisand on board to help with the Band Aid solution to help cover Air America Radio's string of faux pas and financial inequities, though questionable at times, that are testing Air America Radio's finances with debts in the millions. Selling T-shirts, coffee mugs, and bumper stickers can no longer help support Air America Radio's finances and so a Band Aid solution is needed.

We know that Al Franken cannot do this by himself to garner the needed help and exposure of Air America Radio. Air America Radio. Al Franken, Randi Rhodes, and all of the Liberals who listen to Air America Radio need your help to keep this flotsam afloat by setting up the first ever temporary Band Aid solution.

Support the Live Air America Radio Band Aid and help end the needless sufferering of Al Franken's constant embarrassment among Liberals everywhere.

When Mainstream Media Refuse to Cover Air America Scandal

Cox and Forkum

That's why we have bloggers when cBS, NBC, NYTimes, ABC et al failed (ie refused) to cover the news on Air America Radio scandal. Check out Technorati's list of bloggers covering Air America as well. Only Foxnews cable station covered the scandal as far as a major news source covering the scandal. Michelle Malkin covers it well. Not only the financial scandal is the current problem, there were questions in the past that Air America Radio was (or maybe still is or has been) a campaign finance loophole machination.

I think the airness in Air America Radio is deflating.

Morgan Spurlock Watch

Remember the show "Super Size Me" about how one guy, Morgan Spurlock, who lived off of McDonalds food for 30 days by doubling his normal caloric intake of 5000 calories a day? And how he skewed the whole results after 30 days with high blood pressure, bad cholesterol readings, and absolutely no excercise with the exception of lifting up a Big Mac, fries and coke?:

Sayer is a biology professor who replicated Spurlock's thirty-day experiment to teach his students about how the documentary medium can be abused to further a political agenda. The difference between Sayer and Spurlock: Sayer didn't deliberately double his daily calorie intake, nor did he stop exercising. He ate three meals per day at McDonalds, diversified what he ate, and was able to keep his calorie count between 2,000 and 3,000. Over 30 days, he lost 17 pounds. His blood pressure dropped. And his cholesterol basically remained the same. He suffered none of the effects Spurlock shows in Super Size Me.

Really. It's all about personal responsibility. Spurlock showed none of it.

The experiment is the most interesting, but not necessarily the most informative, aspect of Super Size Me. Spurlock goes on a one-month McDonald's spree in which he eats three gluttonous meals per day. He plays by a few rules: everything he eats has to be on the McDonald's menu, he must sample every food choice at least once, and he only super sizes when asked by a cashier. Over the course of his study, he gains 25 pounds; experiences an extreme increase in cholesterol; suffers sexual dysfunction, headaches, and nausea; and shows signs of addiction. It's not a pretty picture, and, while the extremity of Spurlock's reactions are in part a result of his excessive indulgence(5000 calories per day), it illustrates a point about the unhealthiness of fast food eating.

Anybody who does that deserve that kind of fate. However, McDonalds does provide nutritional information so that customers can make an informed decision regarding which food to eat if they are trying to manage their dietary intake. Something that Spurlock hardly want to acknowledge. His attitude reflects that in his videos a la Michael Moore when lying and/or disinformation is the way to go to become a star. Will Michael Moore continue to eat at McDonalds?

Pathetic.

Check out the Morgan Spurlock Watch blogsite - a blog devoted to holding Mr. Spurlock accountable for the inaccuracies and factual distortions in his movie, book, and TV show.

UPDATE: More goodies about Morgan Spurlock and his pathetic attempts on filming documentaries where half-truths are hardly the case.

Also, what Netrox failed to note is that you can eat 5k worth of calories a day for 30 days practically at any food establishments from the fast foods to a 5-star French restaurant and still suffer the consequences of bloating oneself up to 25 and feel absolutely miserable! And, oh, the thin man he refers to in the documentary? He never ate 5k worth of McDonalds everyday. And thin doesn't equate being healthy, either. And many fast foods do carry alternate meals consisting of salads, fruits and whole grain! See here, here, here, here at Subway, here, here, KFC, and, of course, the best and worst of fast foods (2002) in America when it comes to vegetables, fruits and grain. My wife absolutely loves Wendy's Mandarin Chicken Salad. So much for "lack" of healthy choices. The choices are growing.

But Americans want tasty food...not tofu. But there's always room for more food imagination and the right mix to appease both types of consumers who choose between healthy foods and regular fast foods.

Where are the fast food resturants that serve dishes that are rich in vegetables and fruits and whole grains? I want them. Bet you cannot find one.- Netrox

I just did. Netrox doesn't look very hard, apparently. Was he swayed and blinded by Spurlock's schlockumentary thinking that corporate America of the fast food industry is not thinking about alternative healthy choices??

Spurlock sends a terrible message to America: "Obesity is not your responsibility. It's the fault of greedy corporations." This is where Netrox is wrong regarding Spurlock's "documentary" as not being biased. It is extremely biased that is literally tilting to one side. "Super Size Me" demonizes fast food to such a high degree.

Bottom line, Spurlock never discussed about personal responsibility when it comes to eating at fast food restuarants and exercising in his, uh, "documentary" and that his eating 5k for 30 days is not typical of what most Americans eat at fast food restaurants.

Not biased? Yeah, right.

Wolcott and Al Capone: Lost cousins?

These hoity toity Vanity Fair writers must use their own caricatures of themselves instead of a photograph? We know why. A caricature of a person does make him or her look slim and brings about his or her "best" and prominent features. Michelle Malkin makes a point about James Wolcott, a "professional" editorial writer in Vanity Fair, relishing his role on making fun of other people's physical appearances by picking on Ed Morrissey of Captain's Quarters blog. Angry in the Great White North takes a jab at James Wolcott's "professional" editorialized article on making fun of Ed Morrissey's of Captain's Quarters.

Now, far from it for me to say that there isn't any resemblance between Capone and Wolcott. But one thing for sure, I wouldn't want to hang around with Al Capone who had a penchant for a baseball bat on a human being's head. He's simply a disgusting figure. Simply.... creepy.


Al Capone & James Wolcott

But hey, many of us bloggers would rather debate on the merits of an argument at hand rather than sling mud, call people names and generally be a creepy person to begin with. I guess James Wolcott doesn't fit the bill as a "professional" writer.

When Al Franken Explodes

Found this blogsite detailing the puerile outburst of Al Franken after he agreed to go to Michael Medved's table for a radio spotlight only to find O'Neil (Swift Vets and POWs for Truth (about John Kerry)) at the table, too.

Too bad I missed this radio show since it happened this February even though I occasionally listen to Michael Medved's radio show. Be sure to click on the blogsite in the link above to download a video clip of the incident. It's not much.

Evidently what happened was that Medved ran into Franken and asked him if he would like to stop by the table to do a couple of minutes on the show. Getting an affirmative, Medved then ran into O'Neil and made the same offer. Franken's outburst was based on his paranoid claim that Medved "set him up" and "ambushed" him by setting up a debate with O'Neil without giving him a day or so to prepare.

As O'Neil said, if you are telling the truth, you don't need time to get yourself prepared. That, of course, was after Franken stormed off in a huff, carrying his hissy fit to the door.

I don't know what happened with Laura, but there was talk of Franken throwing a chair to the floor in another fit of rage earlier. Franken denied this, saying he had just pushed back and stood up and the chair fell over, but later O'Neil agreed with Medved that the chair had been thrown to the floor in anger, and they said something like 400 people saw this.But Franken did get in his pro-Kerry mantra, about Kerry serving "two tours of duty in Viet Nam', etc.Someone should tell him there is a difference between a fool and a comic.

Here's another account from commenter in that blogsite:

Al Franken reprised his role in "Trading Places" and went ape today on the Michael Medved show when he arrived at Michael's table on radio row for a brief appearance to find John O'Neill of SwiftVets fame sitting next to Medved prepared for a "debate" with Franken.

A crowd quickly gathered hoping for another RNC-Habib like outburst and, although disappointed, was treated to Franken tossing a chair and then Franken angrily denying that he tossed a chair ("it fell over when I walked away").

Franken'e eyes literally bulging out of his head. I was 3 feet free Franken and the corner of his mouth was twitching and his hands were curled up in close to a fist.

Here's a different website detailing the whole Franken fiasco.


Hey Al! Bring...it....on!

I think Al need to put up his fists and get it out of his system.

Uh, yeah. Right.

Lawyers Weigh In on Air America If "Stealing" of Kiddie Funds Actually Existed

Go here and see what lawyers have to say about Air America's fiscal fiasco on the stealing or "misappropriating" funds meant for kids and alzheimer patients.

When Liberals Become the Poster Children of “Hate Speech”

What is funny nowadays is whenever I point out certain things about an individual classless retort about the deads they turn it around and call it "griping" or "bitching". There is a difference between pointing out uncool, thoughtlesss remarks versus actually bitching all the time. Remember, I don't hold a weekly or monthly "Bitch Session" submitted by readers and have their gossipy, complaining and real bonafide whining remarks displayed on my blog.

We have many Democrats who will use their own hate and bile to smear good standing people so they can score political points. They will lie to such an extent just to hurt people. Such people as Durbin, Kennedy, Pelosi, Reid, and a few more feel what that they say justifies their political motives, even if it means costing people lives or reduce troops moral. This is not griping. Nor is it bitching. But a fact on what they do for people who are absolutely CLUELESS of what is going on. If anything, hate seems to be many of the Liberals' middle name. Once their cogs stop turning or get kinked in their thinking and use their emotions instead of rationale thinking they tend to end up going completely bonkers (warning: extremely graphic. You may get sick, bleh. I nearly barfed). They lose all sense of rationality and clear thinking when hate is their game plan. This is also the terrorists' game plan as well.

Very uncool. Very.... uncool.

Senate Backs Boy Scouts of America Use of Military Bases

I guess the Senate vote of 98-0 to allow BSA the use of military bases mean nothing to ACLU but it does put things into perspective when nobody in the Senate opposed the vote.

The Senate voted Tuesday to allow U.S. military bases to continue to host Boy Scout events, responding to lawsuits and a federal court ruling aimed at severing relationships between the government and the youth group.

In a 98-0 vote, the Senate approved the provision continuing the hosting of Boy Scout events as part of massive bill setting Defense Department policy for next year. After the vote, Senate leaders decided to put off further debate and votes on the overall bill, probably until fall when Congress returns from a month long break.

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., a former Boy Scout who sponsored the Senate provision, said it is necessary to push back on a spate of lawsuits to limit Boy Scout activities on government property.

The provision adopted Tuesday says Boy Scouts should be treated the same as other national youth organizations Frist said it "removes any doubt that federal agencies may welcome Scouts to hold meetings, go camping on federal property or hold scouting events and public forums" on government property.

The ACLU opposes the BSA because they do not allow gays or atheists because it goes against BSA's values. Ever wonder why the ACLU doesn't screech when the BSA also does not allow women or girls into their private organization?

Let's wait and see what fall brings us.

When People Jump for Joy for Dead Boy Scouts Leaders

A tragic accident at a Boy Scouts of America (BSA) jamboree where 4 adult Boy Scouts leaders were killed by electrocution when one of the tent pole they were erecting touched an overhead electrical wire. Despite the tremendous loss the families of the victims still hold the faith.

However, at least one Deaf person exults happily in a macabre manner the deaths of BSA leaders:

Boo hoo. 4 hearie men dead. Good riddance. Why? Because the BSA is firmly against gays.

People like him would rather hold a higher regard for Islamic terrorists who would rather (and do) kill gays as a practice of their religion? Just because this private organization holds an organizational belief about gays and their lifestyles justify in jumping for joy in seeing somebody die of a horrible and painful death? The BSA is a private organization in the belief of a higher Supreme Being and because it is a private religious organization they have the right to accept who can attend or be hired/fired based on their religious moral belief and values where the Supreme Court confirmed that right 5 years ago. This would be true of any other private organization including the KKK. As with most private organizations (except for NAMBLA and it's women's version) I am sure the BSA would want avoid this. But that is beside the point when it's all about the right of a private organization to hire or fire whoever they want that violates the private organization's moral and religious precept.

Now, having said that, we still get lunatic fringes whooping it up for dead BSA leaders. I've already outlined one. Sadly though. Now, it would be equally disdainful and repugnant to hear from pastors or religious leaders who would whoop it up for dead GBLT leaders killed in an accident or die from testicular cancer. Disagreement has its place but not extremism when emotion clouds judgements which is attributed to having a few loose screws getting in the way.

Air America Stealing Money from Poor-Inner City Kids and Elderly?

The Air America radio show hosted by, ahem, Al Franken and Randi Rhodes, your local Liberal idiots, is in hot waters. Very hot waters. In New York Air America is being investigated for shucking federal and local funds in the, most likely, "hundreds of thousands of dollars" all meant for inner-city kids and the elderly citizens into the station's own bank account.

According to published reports, the allegations involve Charles Rosen, the founder of Gloria Wise who has stepped down as executive director, investing city contract funds in Air America Radio, the liberal talk radio network.

Evan Cohen, Air America's former chairman, had served as Gloria Wise's director of development.

The Bronx News has learned,

through informed sources, that the diversion of hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Gloria Wise Boys & Girls Club in Co-op City to the liberal Air America Radio is at the center of the city’s probe of corruption at the local club.

The money, which was reportedly paid to Air America as a loan, was supposed to be paid back with interest, two unidentified informed sources told the News. One source added that Air America officials, led by an official of the Gloria Wise Club, agreed to help the local club by publicizing its activities.

To date, no indictments have been handed down in the New York City Department of Investigation’s ongoing probe of the Gloria Wise Club’s reported transfer of funds to Air America.

.

.

Cohen, who is reportedly at the center of the Gloria Wise probe, is a Guam-based investors who was reportedly a key principal in the start-up of Air America, which has been billed as the liberals’ answer to conservative talk-show hosts like Rush Limbaugh, Shaun Hannity, Bob Grant, Michael Savage, and G. Gordon Liddy.

How desperate is Air America radio show to keep that cash? Ever wonder why the show is called "Err America"?

Boy, talk about stealing lolipops from kids and kicking grandpa out into the street.

Hat tip: Michelle Malkin.

UPDATE: The monies taken from elderly citizens were for Alzheimer patients. The monies stolen were used to invest in Air America radio program. You don't take money that were specifically targeted for a program and put into some hot stock expecting a return. You simply don't! Even under the guise as a "loan". We're talking $500,000 dollars here that the Gloria Wise Boys and Girls Club never received.

As Captain's Quarters said:

Has Air America paid back the loan, or even made preliminary payments? We don't know; AA hasn't issued a statement, and more curiously, the national media hasn't asked them. The only papers covering this story are the New York Daily News (but not in its national paper) and the Gotham Gazette, a local newspaper for New Yorkers covering the borough beat. It seems to me that if Salem Radio or Clear Channel had taken money from poor children and Alzheimer's patients to stay on the air, we would hear about that from all major media outlets within nanoseconds of it coming out.

Cough up the money Air America. NOW!

UPDATE2: Check out Gloria Wise Community Center that has a campsite called "Camp Air America" which is located on Lake Stahahe among the 46,000 wooded acres of Harriman State Park, just 40 miles north of New York City.

How ironic.

And please read Jonathan Larson's blog under the AirAmericaRadio.com website where he attempted to pitch to the audience for donation to Camp Air America.

It (i.e. camping) taught me a great deal of self-sufficiency, which later served me well, especially when I went off to college. If you went to camp, think back on how much that time -- and, yeah, some of it might have been tough or painful -- ended up shaping who you've become. That's an opportunity every kid should have. We'll be talking about why for the next few weeks. Your donations (click on the "Camp Air America" ad to the left) have already started coming in. When we're done, we'll fill you in on what you've made possible. I hope you'll be a part of it. Thanks.

See? Maybe if Air America hadn't taken the $500,000 dollars to fund Air America radio show this donation pitch wouldn't be needed.

Morning Sedition will be helping to raise money for Camp Air America this June and July.

Go ahead a register on Larson's blog and start asking about the missing $500,000 for Gloria Wise Boys and Girls Club that would've helped Camp Air America. No wonder they're going full tilt this June and July asking for donation considering where the $500,000 went in the first place!

Remnants of Emily Hits New Mexico...slightly

Well, in the death throes of Hurricane Emily it dumped massive amount of rain in the northeastern section of Mexico. The remaining clouds or the remnants of Emily did in fact reach the lower portion of southern New Mexico. My town of Alamogordo received less than a quarter inch of rain from the remnants of Emily that produced rainshowers over my area. No wind except from the down draft of the rainfall. All part of the July-August monsoon season where moisture flow from the southeast picking up moisture off of the Gulf ocean.

Naysayers were wrong about the remnants of Emily not to hit New Mexico. It did. So much for their intelligence in the sciences.

Lance Armstrong wins 7th Tour de France! The dope is on them.

In an amazing 21-stage ultra-marathon bicycle race Lance Armstrong wins his seventh consecutive Tour de France victory today. What an amazing individual.

Armstrong's new record of seven wins confirmed him as one of the greatest cyclists ever, and capped a career where he came back from cancer to dominate cycling's most prestigious and taxing race.

Of course, you will have you ever so ultra-jealous French people and people in general who do not like Lance Armstrong because he overcame is testicular cancer which had spread throughout his body. Or that they are suspcious of his 7 Tour de France wins but not suspicious of the old record of 5 Tour de France wins held by their own Frenchmen Jacques Anquetil and Bernard Hinault. How typical.

And we have the ever so chant of "Dope! Dope!" by losers in the crowd and everywhere else on the planet at Armstrong's 7th win. This showed their extreme jealousy, petulant and wanker attitudes. Poor sportsman ship and jealousy all because Lance worked hard at this?

Cancer survivors, autograph hunters and enamored admirers pushed, shove, and yelled "Lance! Lance!" outside his bus in the mornings for a smile, a signature, or a word from the champion. He had bodyguards to keep the crowds at bay — ruffling feathers of cycling purists who sniffed at his "American" ways.

Some spectators would shout obscenities or "dope!" — doper. To some, his comeback from cancer and his uphill bursts of speed that left rivals gasping in the Alps and Pyrenees were too good to be true.

Armstrong insisted that he simply trained, worked and prepared harder than anyone. He was drug-tested hundreds of times, in and out of competition, but never found to have committed any infractions.

Congratulations Lance! Who says hard work is never the answer? Honesty, integrity and hard work makes a man humble and humbled even more so after beating cancer after staring death in the eye. There are some people I know need to grow up about Lance and should take cue from Lance on the integrity of hard work.

Support Lance Armstrong's cancer website and his own website. Cancer information can certainly help save people lives.


UPDATE: Boo hoo to the whiners (aka stalkers) sneaking around among Gallaudet University's multitude of computers screaming "FOUL!!" about Lance Armstrong's winning the 7th Tour de France and his successes in life while over-coming adversity. C'est la vie! Stop complaining! I swear, people acting like big overgrown, fat babies around here. Here, have a sucker!

Hey, let's give a big U.S.A. salute to Lance!!

A Lemonade Stand in Quantico to Help U.S. Soldiers

What a better business icon than seeing a few young and savvy business people run a lemonade stand in Quantico, Virginia? Two 9-year olds and one 7-year old run the lemonade stand to help raise money through the "Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund" for families of Marines and Sailors who were wounded during combat or training. Ever since the fund started, it has helped over 1,000 families with over $1.7 million in grants. The ubiquitous lemonade stands that pop up every summer around the United States, this one lemonade stand helped contribute to the fund.

“The children started the stand because they wanted to help the injured Marines,” said Lisa Killeen, mother of Kelsey and Megan. “Hayden's mother, Rene Bardorf, is one of the founders of the Semper Fi Fund, and I am a caseworker for Bethesda and Walter Reed. The kids have seen us working and wanted to do something on their own to help.”

Each of the girls has her own job: Megan holds the sign up at passing cars, greeting everyone with her smile, and points to the location of the stand. Kelsey pours the lemonade, bakes cookies for the stand, and hands out Semper Fi Fund cards. Hayden takes the orders, gets the ice, and hands out the lemonade. And they all do it with a smile.

After 5 days they managed to raise $205.

More lemonade stands to help soldiers seen here despite the myth that Republicans hate lemonade which turns out that Liberals hate lemonade in this one.

This is what America is about. Help your fellow American soldiers all you can do. Sadly, Newsweek, Kennedy and Durbin all refused to do this by preferring to slur, injure and put our U.S. soldiers at risk so they can score political points.

A salute to the kids and a hearty Semper Fi!

Hypocrite John Kerry Demands Records of Supreme Court Nominee John Roberts

How very stupid, repugnant and hypocritical of Senator John F. Kerry to demand that

the White House release "in their entirety" all documents and memos from Supreme Court nominee John Roberts' tenure in two Republican administrations.

This is nothing but a farce on Kerry's end when he refused to turn over all of his Navy records via the SF 180 form prior to the Presidential election and afterwards when he promised he would. He never really did a few months ago.

John Kerry said:

We cannot do our duty if either Judge Roberts or the Bush administration hides elements of his professional record.

And people voted for John Kerry last year? Are they that gullible or what?

Senator Kerry, stick it where the sun doesn't shine. You have not yet provided the SF 180 in allowing the release of ALL of your Navy record. Why are you still not keeping your promise? Are you hiding something? What an effin lying weasel!

We called for Kerry to execute a form which would permit anyone to examine his full and unexpulgated [sic] military records at the Navy Department and the National Personnel Records Center. Instead he executed a form permitting his hometown paper to obtain the records currently at the Navy Department. The Navy Department previously indicated its records did not include various materials. This is hardly what we called for. If he did execute a complete release of all records we could then answer questions such as (1)Did he ever receive orders to Cambodia or file any report of such a mission (whether at Christmas or otherwise); (2) What was his discharge status between 1970 and 1978 (when he received a discharge) and was it affected by his meetings in 1970 and 1971 with the North Vietnamese? (3)why did he receive much later citations for medals purportedly signed by Secretary Lehman who said he did not know of them; (4) Are there Hostile Fire and Personnel Injured by Hostile Fire Reports for Kerry's Dec. 1968 Purple Heart (when the officer in charge of the boat Admiral Schacte, the treating Surgeon Louis Letson, and Kerry's Division Commander deny there was hostile fire causing a scratch) awarded three months later under unknown circumstances.

Netherlands Dutch Court Clears Anti-Gay Imam

Well, I'm not surprised about the Imam ruling knowing that parts of European cities are strained with Muslim extremists (and fundamentalists) running amok even though this ruling was read 3 years ago.

A Dutch court has cleared a Muslim cleric of charges of discrimination after he denounced homosexuality as a contagious disease.

The court ruled that the imam could not be convicted because of his constitutional right to religious freedom.

The judge said that while he did consider the imam's comments discriminatory, he was free to base his remarks on the text of the Koran.

It's only a matter of time til these Islamic terrorists start bombing cities in the Netherlands. One thing for sure, the LGBT community cannot use Iraq as an excuse why these nutto terrorists are going after them. Try blaming the Koran for once as the source and justification for terrorizing people ("infidels") of all kinds through threats, intimidations and killings. Although the Dutch parliament is currently debating a draft law presented by the government on radicalism combat, including a TV show to monitor sermons delivered by imams. But you still have these terrorists living in the Netherlands. This is the price to pay when a country becomes too liberal in their policy toward allowing too many radical and extremist people to live in their country which will someday be a country belonging to Muslims being that they may likely someday become the majority.

British LGBT Receives Threats from Muslim Fundamentalists

How ironic. Gay leaders in the U.K. receives death threats from Muslim fundamentalists. Seems like most British gay and lesbian organizations are leftists that support Palestinian terrorists and other terrorists in Iraq, as well as their terrorism tactic that is now boomeranging on them. Here is their thanks.

I wonder how long until they realize the radicalness and extremism of these terrorist groups really are. They sincerely and desperately want to bomb the LGBT's hinnies to kingdom come because they see LBGT's lifestyle as a direct threat to their own religious Islamic beliefs.

Islamic terrorists are preaching and guaranteeing martydom and 72 virgins in heaven for suicide bombers. Now, it's not about 72 gay virgins but the male bomber's expectation is about the 72 FEMALE virgins in heaven. All hokey stuff. But does it at all ring a bell here on where these Islamic terrorists are going with? Hello? I'm knocking on your heads. And yet the LBGT try and support them at the same time? It's like throwing gasoline on a bonfire but you're soaked in it, too.

That's a definition of pure idiocy....and suicide, too.

Hurricane Emily to Hit Just South of Texas

Want to see Hurricane Emily in action from South Padre Island, Texas? Go here to see the webcam of Emily in action. Here's a bouy that's recording wind speed, temperature and wave action just south of South Padre Island near Port Isabel. Windspeed is measured in meters per second. For every 1 m/s = 2.2 mph. Right now, winds are gusting up to 11 m/s or about 23 mph.

We'll see in a few days if the remnants of Hurricane Emily will impact New Mexico. Meanwhile, batten down the hatches!!

Super Typhoon "Haitang" to Hit Taiwan

Hurricanes. Big mothers they are. But Super Typhoon "Haitang" is one big typhoon...bigger than hurricane Emily. A "Super Typhoon" merely means it is a Category 5 storm with sustained winds greater than 155 mph or 135 knots.

A continuous update on Super Typhoon Haitang can be seen here.



The island of Taiwan can be seen in the
upper left corner of photo.


Haitang, with winds gusting to as high as 185 mph (300 kph), is heading west north-west across the pacific at about 16 mph, the U.S. government's Joint Typhoon Warning Center Web site said in an advisory issued earlier today.

The typhoon was about 860 kilometers east-south east of the island at 2:30 p.m. local time, Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau said in a statement.

The eye of the storm, the first big one of the western Pacific's typhoon season, will probably make landfall in Taiwan sometime after 8 a.m. on July 18, the Typhoon Warning Center said. Sustained winds, now at 150 mph, are forecast to increase to as high as 161 mph with gusts, up to 196 mph by tomorrow.


Praying that the people of Taiwan survives this monster noting the fact that the hurricane force winds and higher will nearly encapsulate the whole island.

David Corn "Outed" Valeria Plame?

Now, it seems to be that writer David Corn outed Valeria Plame that started all this Karl Rove brouhahahahas. Remember folks, Karl Rove was never the target in this probe to find out who the "leaker" was or where it came from.

Now, as for leaking CIA information publicly, all you have to do is look at John F. Kerry's naming of names on the Senate floor this year by outing a CIA agent.

United States senators, including former presidential candidate John Kerry, may have inadvertently blown the cover of a CIA agent.

At a hearing to discuss the nomination of John Bolton as US ambassador to the United Nations, politicians discussed a dispute over Bolton’s treatment of an intelligence analyst.

The analyst was referred to as “Mr Smith” but when Kerry read from a transcript of closed door interviews he mentioned a name that had not previously come up.

“Did Otto Reich share his belief that Fulton Armstrong should be removed from his position? The answer is yes,” Kerry said.“Did John Bolton share that view? Yes.”

While it was not completely clear whether Armstrong was the spy, Bolton replied: “As I said, I had lost confidence in Mr Smith, and I conveyed that. I thought that was the honest thing to do.”

Where's the outrage over that? Typical Liberals they are who go after Rove believing he's absolutely guilty. Well, he's not.

Yet, in one of John Kerry's secret closed door committee back in the Sandinista days in February 1987 somehow leaked the name of a covert CIA agent:

I said, "Senator, this has been the hardest testimony I ever gave in my life."He looked up, glasses perched on his nose.

"Why?"

"Because, sir, it is extremely difficult to have to answer questions from someone you do not respect."...I told him outright, "Senator, my name was leaked by your committee as being involved with drugs. I take that very seriously because it affects my family, my reputation, and my friends."

Kerry looked at me sternly and said, "You're making a very serious accusation, because this committee doesn't leak."

"Senator, leaked or not it was in every goddamned newspaper that, at one of your closed committee hearings, Ramón Milian Rodríguez said I solicited money. That is a damned lie."

Felix Rodriguez wanted his testimony made available to the public, but "Kerry and Blum" refused.

Then we have Senator Leahy (D) or "Leaky Leahy" as he is fondly remembered as:

"Leaky Leahy," allegedly threatened to sabotage classified strategies he didn't like.

Leahy ‘inadvertently' disclosed a top-secret communications intercept during a 1985 television interview.

"The intercept … made possible the capture of the Arab terrorists who had hijacked the cruise ship Achille Lauro and murdered American citizens. …"

"The reports cost the life of at least one Egyptian operative involved in the operation."

In July 1987, it was reported that Leahy leaked secret information about a 1986 covert operation planned by the Reagan administration to topple Libya's Moammar Gaddhafi.

U.S. intelligence officials said Leahy, along with the Republican panel chairman, sent a written threat to expose the operation directly to then-CIA Director William Casey.

Weeks later, news of the secret plan turned up in the WashingtonPost, causing it to be aborted.

A year later, as the Senate was preparing to hold hearings on the Iran-Contra scandal, Leahy had to resign his Intelligence Committee post after he was caught leaking secret information to a reporter.

He should have been indicted, tried and sentenced.

Hey, "R"! Get on the floor and do 50 push-ups! Oh, yeah. You can't. Have a hot dog instead.

Typical Liberal weenies who keep screaming QUAGMIRE! when they are the ones sinking. Karl Rove outed Plame?

Let me laugh for a moment and enjoy this one.

Will Lefty Loonie Liberals Get Eggs on Their Faces over Rove's Case?

It just gets funnier by the minute. These Liberals love to presume a guilty charge rather than innocence among any Republicans who are presumably charged with a "crime" in a probe investigation when in fact Karl Rove is not the target of the probe investigation according to Plamegate special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald. Liberals do not allow the probe to complete its investigation to uncover where the leak had originally occurred. In this case, it'd be the Karl "Evil" Rove who they say exposed Valeria Plame's identity when it was Novak all along, or so it seems.

Chief presidential adviser Karl Rove testified to a grand jury that he talked with two journalists before they divulged the identity of an undercover CIA officer but that he originally learned about the operative from the news media and not government sources, according to a person briefed on the testimony.

The person, who works in the legal profession and spoke only on condition of anonymity because of grand jury secrecy, told The Associated Press that Rove testified last year that he remembers specifically being told by columnist Robert Novak that Valerie Plame, the wife of a harsh Iraq war critic, worked for the CIA.

Isn't that interesting? And yet Democrats want to buddy up with Wilson the liar thinking he's the golden boy in helping to oust Karl "Evil" Rove the mastermind in helping President Bush from the Administration?

Hey, you Liberal wackos, ready to concede defeat once this is cleared by the probe investigation? Ready to apologize for your behaviors?

Now, why would I expect that? They'll just claim that Karl Rove was the mastermind behind all this in his evil, diabolical effort to make Liberals look like fools.

Actually, it's not that. It's just that Liberals always make fools of themselves. They'll look in the mirror and blame the mirror for their appearances. That's how many of them react nowadays.
