As Hurricane Ike roared through Texas leaving millions without power, Hurricane
Sarah roared through the ranks of Democrats, leaving them wondering what happened
to their power. Last week was a bad week for Obama, as I outline in Obama
Has Lost His Mojo. From his 'lipstick on a pig' controversy to his "my Muslin faith"
utterance to his latest attack ads, Obama is not faring well.
ELECTION '08:
A BBC poll shows that the world wants to see Obama elected president of the US.
Even Russia wants the Messiah installed in the White House. It should be noted that
most countries that want Obama elected, would also like to see the US undermined.
Figure it out.
Meanwhile, latest presidential tracking polls show McCain up by 3 points, with a
whopping 15
point lead among independents.
GOOD NEWS:
Last week saw the 7th anniversary of 9/11. Here is a list of terror plots thwarted
by the government since then. Thank-you president Bush.
Speaking of thanks, Iraqi President Talabani thanked the American people for liberating
his country from "the worst kind of dictator." You're welcome.
Meanwhile, progress in Iraq, though unreported, is proceeding apace. Iraq is poised
to receive a flood of foreign investment, thanks to improved security. So far, more
than $75 billion in projects have been submitted for government approval.
General
Petraeus reports that US-led forces are already out of the cities of up to 14 of
Iraq's 18 provinces. Can you spell Mission Accomplished?
Out with the old and in with the blue. The Army
has made it official; the green service uniform is on the way out, to be replaced
with...
GOVERNMENT AT WORK:
The outgoing CEO's of these failed giants will be leaving with a $24 million severance package. Also paid for with our tax dollars. Had enough yet? Hold on, there's more.
The auto industry is hoping to secure up to $50 billion in government loans this
month to help modernize their plants. Meanwhile, Congress has approved and sent
to President Bush an
$8 billion rescue package for the federal highway trust fund.
Apparently its going broke, which threatens road and bridge projects in every state.
Government bailouts, in effect, use our tax dollars to reward bad behaviour. When
you reward failure, you get more of it. This is dry stuff, I know, but while we're
not paying attention, our government is turning the US into a corporate welfare state. Its
called socialism, and it has failed everywhere its been tried. Enough lecturing.
CULTURE:
Saudi Arabia's top judiciary official says its permissible to kill the owners of
satellite TV networks that broadcast immoral content. The UK has allowed its first
official Sharia court to open. That's a court that implements Islamic law rather
than British law.
A judge has ignored Florida's categorical ban on gay adoption, approving the adoption
of a Key West boy by one of his gay foster fathers. "Brides" and "grooms" are no
longer allowed to marry in California. That privilege is only extended to individuals
who allow themselves to be called "Party A" and Party B" on marriage licenses.
A detailed study of people newly infected with HIV in the US has confirmed that
the majority of new cases occur among gay and bisexual men and that blacks are most
at risk.
A New York charity has turned down its share of a $3 million lottery jackpot because
accepting the money could send the wrong message to gambling addicts.
Declaring that clergy have a constitutional right to endorse political candidates
from their pulpits, the Alliance Defense Fund is recruiting several dozen pastors
to do just that on Sept. 28.
A new white whale has been spotted, exciting marine scientists who think it may
be related to Migaloo - the only known all-white humpback whale.
A judge in Travis County has ordered a woman to stop having children as a condition
of her probation. More and more Swedish prostitutes
want to pay taxes in order to
receive the social welfare benefits.
A 22-year-old college grad will
auction off her virginity at Nevada's Moonlight
Bunny Ranch in order to pay for her graduate studies. Bidding has reached $250,000. Ever wonder why those Hollywood
stars are so wacky? Researchers in Spain have found a strong and independent link
between cannabis use and the onset of psychosis at an earlier age.
IDIOTS OF THE WEEK:
From the Boys Being Boys file, first prize has to go to the three men that were
shot dead in a Dublin tavern following an argument over the size of male genitalia.
In a close second are these eco-idiots wailing and crying over the trees that were
finally cut down in Berkeley. Unbelievable.
Third place goes to the three judge panel that agreed to hear an appeal of the $54
million "pants" lawsuit. Remember that? A judge instituted a multi-million lawsuit
against a dry cleaners for a missing pair of pants. The suit is still alive. Words
fail me.
Last, but not least, is Democrat Charles Rangel, who cited "cultural and language
barriers" as reasons for failing to report $75,000 in rental income on his beach
house. Riight. So many idiots, so
little space.
In order to leave you with a smile, I include a joke I found hilarious:
Q: How many community organizers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: Nine. One to screw in the light bulb and eight to organize the
busload of protestors to the nuclear plant that powers it.
Till next week, keep smiling,
