The Axis of Idiots

Came across a piece of reading that every red blooded American should see. It was written by Sargent Major JD Pendry USMC (Ret). Let me tell all of you that this guy tells it like it is and pulls absolutely no punches. Click the link below and check it out.

Answer These Questions Please

Today I received an interesting e-mail, and I thought I'd share it with the rest of you. Once you've taken it in, you'll see what set off yours truly this time!!!

First Lady Michelle Obama showed up Thursday as a surprise and welcome volunteer at Miriam's Kitchen, a soup kitchen for homeless poor people not far from the White House. She brought with her some food donated by White House staff. The first lady served up mushroom risotto and broccoli to a long line of homeless men and women during part of her lunch hour and in these photos poses for a picture by one homeless diner obviously excited to be in the first lady's presence. 1. If this unidentified meal recipient is too poor to buy his own food, how does he afford a cell phone?

2. And if he is homeless, where do they send the cell phone bills ??????????

Reasons To Steam

Fox News reported today that some of our wonderful lawmakers are in favor of releasing some of the Gitmo detainees right here on American soil, and to, of all things, supply them with welfare money to get back on their feet. While, I do notposess any kind of drgree in Political Science, but shouldn't the critical question here be 'Do we really want thes individuals sauntering through our streets and blending into our society. In view of the fact that a large number of previous detainees were shown to have returned to the battlefield after having been released from Gitmo. These people are incapable of reforming, and as long as they continue to breath, we will be their number one target.

A Chinese corporation has signed a huge lease as a major tenant of the new Freedom Tower, which is scheduled to be erected on the World Trade Center site at Ground Zero in Manhattan. The future structure's name symbolizes the rise of freedom from the ashes of the September 11, 2001 disaster. Well that's the plan, anyway. Now the name Freedom Tower is about to be removed in favor of World Trade Center 1. It seems that the Chinese are not too keen on the name; after all, with the lack of freedom in their country, why should they be? True, so far they are the largest company to lease space in the yet to be built structure, but I say that the name of the property should not concern them. Just as they are free to sign on the dotted line, we owe it to all who lost their lives needlessly on that 2001 morning to leave the name alone.

And if all this isn't enough to just make your metabolism erupt, we now have to learn a new language. The Obama Administration has canned the term War On Terror to 'Overseas Contingency Operation', and Terror Attacks to 'Man Caused Disasters'. What the heck will this 'Duly Elected Government Leader' think of next?

A Borderline Call

I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why. Why the United States government seems to be hesitant on putting troops along the US/Mexico border, given the conflicts that are currently knocking at our door. We spend huge, and I mean huge amounts of money to keep some flunky bankers (who haven't the slightest idea that the preferred color on paper is GREEN) in luxury, but what about the safety of our country. Are we the next haven for the cartels? At this rate, I'll let you figure out the answer, and when you do, please contact your lawmakers and tell them you want this stopped!

OUCH!!!

Down And Out

For any sports fans out there, there was the news today about Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling's intent to retire. The announcement was made by Schilling on his blog '38 Pitches'. Also in sports, Lance Armstrong today was injured in a cycling race in Spain. Just a short distance from the finish line, Armstrong was among a group of riders who seriously collided at a road narrowing. He broke his collarbone and is scheduled to undergo surgery shortly. Whether he will have to miss the upcoming Tour de France is not certain as of yet.

School Of Hard Knox

Meanwhile, the murder trial of American student Amanda Knox continues in Italy. Knox, once dubbed by the Italian press as the most popular person in Italy, is charged, along with her one time boyfriend and an accomplice with the killing of her roommate. It is widely believed that the roommate could have possibly walked in on the three and witnessed drug activity in progress. Originally I had posted this one months ago, but other than the trial actually getting underway, all remains status quo. For my money, this cutie doesn't look so innocent!

Not Such A Big Shot Now, Is He?

The California Department of Corrections released this recent picture of mass murderer Charles Manson. This August will mark the 40th anniversary of the Sharon Tate murder, which took place at her Benedict Canyon home. Manson, who is now 74, is shown with a receding hairline and a fading swastika on his forehead. Every time we look at him, we can all be reminded about the validity of the death penalty. And finally, I close with the presentation of the RIH Award. You definately earned it, Charlie!

Just Plain Sick!

This morning I read where an Austrian man was sentenced to life in a psychiatric institution for holding his daughter captive for 24 years. In the basement of his apartment building, he constructed a sound proof bunker, where he raped her and fathered multiple children with her. One of the children, a twin boy, ended up dying from complications as a result of the defendant's failure to get medical help. The daughter, now 42, appeared in court, nailing down the prosecution's case, and sending this monster away to stay. As I look out my window and admire the beautiful sunny day that awaits me, I get more ticked off that this creep had to put a damper in it!

Who's Up For A Date?

This morning I came across an article titled 'Why I Fear Sell Dates', which dealt with the sell by dates on food packaging. How many times have we all looked for a sell by date and found what seemed to be a Department of Defense code word that would only kill us if we knew what it was referring to? I have to admit that until I was working in a grocery store, I never paid too much mind to these dates, assuming that people who were responsible for putting the products on the shelf were watching them carefully and took them off when they expired. It turns out that many shoppers live and die by this date system, and sometimes finding the date alone becomes a real chore in itself. Dates appear in various ways such as 6 JUN 09, 06-06-09, 09-o6-06, well you get the idea. Yesterday it was announced that the originating country of certain products will now have to be put on all packaging. So, as I've been saying all along, why can't the expiration date be stamped on all things in a uniform way, such as Jun 06, 2009? The rule of thumb in our country should be that if it's going to be sold here, the sell by date should be displayed clearly and uniformly, period!

What's With These People?

OK, time to get irritated together. Just when you thought everyone pulls together in emergencies, you just might want to look a little closer. Oh, everyone pulls together alright, but at what expense? Yesterday the ferry boat company that transports people across the Hudson River to Manhattan has filed suit against US Airways attempting to charge the airline for rescuing the trapped passengers from the Hudson river crash. Pretty damn cheap I'd say!

Then there's those AIG people again, being sent more rescue money and using it to pay off employee bonuses. The company stated that these bonuses were written in each one of the executives' contracts and they are bound by law to pay them. Hey fellas, NOT WITH MY MONEY! Whatever happened to no profit = no bonus?

An Apropriate Name

Bernie Madoff pleaded guilty today in a Manhattan court to all the charges against him and was ordered by the judge to be taken immediately to jail. His formal sentencing will take place in three months. Until then, he is being held in a Manhattan correctional facility, where his closet size cell badly fails to meet the standards of his 7 million dollar townhouse in Manhattan. This man has caused more hardship and misery to countless people who entrusted him with their life savings. On their behalf, I proudly present to Bernard Madoff (with my funds) the Reservation In Hell Award, for which he is more than well deserving!

In Poor Taste!

With all the people in this nation that are economically strapped and experiencing what has to be the most difficult time in their lives, the last thing we need to read about in the news is that Congress is slated to get their automatic pay raises. I mean, can anything be more insulting to the citizens of the United States than their lawmakers fattening their wallets while they continue to struggle just to pay the bills?
