This is the left's idea of unity and bipartisanship. This is my idea of being raised
with no manners. BTW: Thank-you, President Bush. You will be missed.
The old media, led by the New York Times, is in its death throes. NYT bonds were
downgraded to junk status. The gray lady is trying to mortgage
some of its property and has succeeded in obtaining $250M (at 14% interest) from
a Mexican millionaire. Despite the bleeding, the Times still refuses to acknowledge
the validity of the 60 million Americans who didn't vote for Obama. RIP.
More than two-thirds of African-Americans believe Martin Luther King Jr.'s vision
for race relations has been fulfilled,
a CNN poll found -- a figure up sharply from a survey in
early 2008. This should mean that it is no longer necessary to lower our voices
when discussing race.
More good news on the global warming front.
A recent poll suggests the Global Warmingist-in-Chief Al Gore
is losing his propaganda war to convince Americans carbon dioxide is destroying
the planet. A full 59% now question his theory that man is responsible. Just so.
CULTURE:
One of Obama's first acts
called for the repeal of the federal Defense of Marriage
Act (DOMA), as well as the extension of more than 1,000 federal marriage benefits
and of adoption rights to homosexual couples. Oh, and
he also reversed US abortion funding policy.
In an effort to combat "homophobia," a Wisconsin public s
chool teacher implemented a 38-day regimen explicitly designed
to change the minds of students who did not view homosexuality as equal to heterosexuality.
A gay Dallas man who married his husband in 2006 when they lived in Massachusetts
has filed what is believed to be Texas’
first same-sex divorce petition.
The Illinois moment of silence in public schools has been
ruled unconstitutional, and the Supreme Court killed an
Internet pornography law.
A Spanish woman made medical history recently by receiving a new windpipe which
had been grown from
her own stem cells. Meanwhile, the FDA has approved the
first embryonic stem cell trials.
Not to worry, things could be worse. In Dundee, Boys Scouts will be able to
pledge allegiance to ‘Allah’ and drop the traditional oath
to God and Queen. And in the UK, efforts are underway to expose children
as young a five to the joys of homosexual sex - with taxpayer money, no
less. I yearn for the good old days when sex was kept in the bedroom. Sigh.
In keeping with the never-ending 'my sex in your face' culture,
aging diva, Madonna,
strapped, wrapped and laced herself into a very improbable
outfit to promote her 11th studio album, Hard Candy. Good thing shame is no longer
in vogue.
The experts, once again, demonstrate their firm grasp of the obvious as
a new 'study' has found that the pleasure women get from making love is
directly linked to the size of their partner’s bank balance. Duh. Apparently the
wealthier a man is, the more frequently his partner has orgasms. (Or fakes them,
as the case may be.)
A Texas high school girls basketball team on the winning end of a 100-0 game has
a case of
blowout remorse. (for winning) Now officials from
the winning school say they are trying to do the right thing by seeking a forfeit
and apologizing for the margin of victory. Apologizing??
A convicted cocaine dealer
will be re-sentenced after a judge called his girlfriend
a "baby mama" and asked whether she belonged to a club of women who date unemployed
men.
MOST IDIOTIC STATEMENTS OF THE WEEK:
Nancy Pelosi
said that "birth-control will help the economy"
Harry Reid: "You
can't listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done," he told
GOP lawmakers, effectively excluding and invalidating the 20 million people a day
that listen to Rush.
Larry King, 75,
while interviewing Bib Woodward gushed: "My younger son
Cannon, he is eight. And he now says that he would like to be black. I'm not kidding.
He said there's a lot of advantages. Black is in. Is this a turning of the tide?"
Ali Wentworth (wife of ABC News' George Stephanopoulos)
on "Oprah": We watched everything and George was still doing
all the anchoring for ABC and as soon Beyonce said "At Last..." George called me
at home and he went, "Honey?" and I said "I know!" and we both started crying.
Aaargh! I can't take it anymore. Before I sign off, I offer some suggestions. Check

Fight Back.
Till next week, try to keep smiling,
