Did you catch Donny Osmond as his background dancer?
I think Seth Green is in there as well...not sure.

The Pope and the Muslims

The pope was quoting from literary text. If a muslim takes exception to that, he/she should respond with literary protests, not with violence.

I'm sorry the Pope thought he had to apologize. I hope he's watching this violence and is, at least in private, saying, "See, I told you so."

Now, they want his head?

Low-life barbarians.

10 first place winners in the International Pun Contest

1. A vulture boards an airplane, carrying two dead raccoons. The stewardess looks at him and says, "I'm sorry, sir, only one carrion allowed per passenger."

2. Two fish swim into a concrete wall. The one turns to the other and says, "Dam!"

3. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft. Unsurprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat it too.

4. Two hydrogen atoms meet. One says "I've lost my electron." The other says "Are you sure?" The first replies "Yes, I'm positive."

5. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root canal? His goal: transcend dental medication.

6. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse. "But why?" they asked, as they moved off. "Because", he said, "I can't stand chess-nuts boasting in an open foyer."

7. A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named "Ahmal." The other goes to a family in Spain; they name him "Juan." Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, "They're twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal."

8. These friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened up a small florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, a rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair. He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not. He went back and begged the friars to close. They ignored him. So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town to "persuade" them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close up shop. Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that only Hugh can prevent florist friars.

9. Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him... (Oh, man, this is so bad, it's good). A super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

10. And finally, there was the person who sent ten different puns to his friends, with the hope that at least one of the puns would make them laugh. No pun in ten did????

Where are all the Angry Black Muslim Men?

Where are all these "angry black men" that are supposedly "proud black muslims" like Farakkan, and the like, and why aren't they standing up to these Islamofacist terrorists that are determined to destroy their so-called religion?

Aren't they muslim?
Aren't they tired of these pukes taking over their religion?
Why aren't they as eager to rise against this threat to their religion as they are to rise against white man's repression?

Along that line, where are all the so-called American Muslims? They need to stand up and weed all these cowards out.

If I don't see something, I'm inclined to agree that the entire Islamic world (West and East) is willing to back these terrorists and only mean harm to the western world.

Is Nothing Sacred anymore?

Those evil insurgent bastards have gone too far!

They will wipe a lot of us out now. Have they no shame?

Why do we take Politics Personally?

It is funny how we take politics personally, since there's not much we can do about it, except state our opinion.

I was democrat in the Clinton years. Voted for him and for Gore...and found myself defending Clinton's Animal House antics while in the White House. And tried to justify his boldfaced lying us and the Grand Jury.

I was disappointed when Bush was elected because I'm in Texas and wasn't impressed with the way he ran things here while Governor.

My leanings changed after I saw how the Dems acted after both elections. I haven't seen any solutions for anything coming from these poor losers. All I heard from Kerry was, "I have a plan" or "This president didn't...(fill in the blank). The rest of the party is represented by a raging egotistical idiot who will say or do anything to stay in the limelight (Dean).

Their only hope apparently is Sen. Clinton. But she stays on the fence and won't take a stand on anything that requires a sense of commitment. She also has way too much baggage to be carrying into the campaign (some of it stolen from the white house when she left).

The rest has been whine, whine, whine.

When the president or his admin farts sideways, they're all over it. But, when one of their party is in trouble or goes against the fold, they either run away or send them to the alligators (Sen. Lieberman).

Basically, I haven't seen anything resembling a platform that the Dems have presented. The goal seems to do whatever puts them in a good light and the Repubs in a bad light.

Guess that's politics as usual, but we need to see some people with courage stand up and take responsibility for their actions and for their party.

Then, I might vote that way again.

This is why my computer breaksdown at work

So-Called "Peaceful" Muslims Take Heed

It's about time the so-called "peaceful" muslems (like the ones in CAIR and those that say that terrorism in not part of islam), got off their collective asses and realized this islamic extremism is THEIR problem.

I hear everyday how they "denounce" terrorism and suicide bombings. We also hear how they are "peaceful" and want nothing to do with religious facism.

They say their goal is NOT to kill anyone and everyone that is not mulsim until islam is the one religion in all the world.

Oh no, they don't want that.

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.

What makes a Leftwinger, what makes a Rightwinger?

By the way, I like this site:

The Nose on your Face


So, what exactly is a Leftwing Democrat and a Rightwing Republican?

What criteria is used to determine if someone is a Democrat or a Republican and what, in your opinion, makes someone more than just a Democrat or Republican, and puts them into the Leftwing or Rightwing?

Are the Democrats of the past (1940s - 1960s) the Republicans of today? If so, where does that put the Democrats of today?

Inquiring mind wants to know.

Who was there First?

Were the Jews the original inhabitants of Israel, or were the Palestinians?

The Israelis say Israel became a nation in 1312 B.C.E., two thousand years before the rise of Islam.

The Palestinians say Palestine was a nation 3,000 B.C.E, i.e. two thousand years before the habirus (Israeli wanderers infiltrated into parts of Palestine, the land of Canaan, the land of milk and honey with Jerusalem ( Uru-salem) as the capital of the Jebsites who founded it 5000 years ago and gave it its name.

Who is right?

Nice to see Racism is alive and well in the good old USA

Seems the Democraps are just sinking lower and lower. Showing senator Leiberman in blackface.

Writing

OK, fine, so I am a writer, although my writing lately has been of the technical/editorial kind so I can get a paycheck and pay that new whopping mortgage.

But now, I think it's about time I put the butt to the fire and wrote that book or two that I know are in me.

I know the characters will create themselves, just don't know what story I plan to use. Should it be a mystery, a story of fiction loosely based on non-fiction, an autobiography (who would read it?), or just a story about life?

I'll figure it out.

I always do.

Houston, Texas - Sanctuary City

(Washington, DC) Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it has expanded its investigation of government sponsored incentive programs for illegal aliens by filing a “Texas Public Information Act Request” with the Houston Police Department (HPD), and another with the City of Houston. The HPD request relates to General Order 500-5, a so-called “sanctuary policy” for illegal aliens, while the City of Houston request relates to the city’s taxpayer-funded day laborer site for illegal aliens.

HPD General Order 500-5, issued in 1992 by then-Police Chief Sam Nuchia, reportedly prevents Houston police officers from asking about an individual’s citizenship status or detaining illegal aliens. Meanwhile, Houston’s day laborer site, which is supported with federal funds from the Community Development Block Grant Program, reportedly provides assistance to illegal aliens seeking jobs.

“Publicly-funded incentive programs for illegal aliens not only make the illegal immigration problem worse, but they are also flagrantly illegal,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “It is a violation of federal law to hire an illegal alien. It is a violation of federal law to encourage an illegal alien to cross the border. It is certainly a violation of federal law for government officials to use federal funds to support illegal activity. Judicial Watch will thoroughly investigate Houston’s illegal alien policies and may take further legal action.”

These latest investigations expand upon Judicial Watch’s campaign to enforce our nation’s immigration laws.

On May 1, 2006 Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit against the Los Angeles Police Department over “Special Order 40,” a policy that prohibits police officers from inquiring about an individual’s immigration status, and reportedly restricts police officers from cooperating with federal immigration officials. Judicial Watch is asking the court to prohibit the LAPD from expending taxpayer funds to enforce and maintain Special Order 40, which violates both federal immigration laws and California law and puts American citizens at risk.

Judicial Watch also filed a lawsuit against the Town of Herndon and Fairfax County, Virginia to shut down a taxpayer funded day laborer site for illegal aliens.

From Beirut Notes - Hezbollah Is Bringing the Temple Down On Our Heads

While Israeli bombs are killing Lebanese children and innocents by the hundreds, Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah's leader, decided to "fight for the Nation of Islam, whether the Lebanese want it or not".Iran, Syria, Hezbollah and Israel are turning Lebanon into killing fields. My beautiful country is being burned by crazy ideologies. My Lebanon of joy is being eaten by human monsters. My kind Lebanon is being butchered in the name of religion.Our enemy Israel is killing us but at least its civilians are dying and it is paying the price of its military adventure, so is Hezbollah. But the cowards of Syria and Iran are sitting and watching civilians die and smiling cunningly.The cowards of Syria and Iran are selling their oil at unprecedented prices and are reaping the political and economic benefits while we are loosing our children and billions of dollars.Those cowards are buying and selling our lives for their regimes' interests. The blood of Lebanese children is being traded like options, futures and shares and the Iranian and Syrian regimes are filling both their strategic and financial pockets.And Hezbollah is not a resistance force anymore. Hezbollah, today, is going on a worthless suicide mission and taking the whole of Lebanon with it.God help all the Lebanese, Shiites, Sunnis, Christians and Druzes, who have been cheated into death for the sake of Assad's and Khamanei's regimes.

May God watch over both you and Israel.

Guess I need to just go suck a rock

Because I don't fit into this "mold."

WASHINGTON (AP) - Bloggers are a predominantly young group of Internet users who are novice storytellers, enjoy describing their own experiences and have a growing audience in the online world.
A glimpse of this group was put together by the Pew Internet & American Life Project.
The survey found that almost one in 10 Internet users are bloggers and the audience for this group of online diarists is growing. Almost four in 10 of the approximately 147 million adult Internet users in this country say they read blogs.
The people they are reading on the online blogs are a young, ethnically diverse group. They are mostly newcomers to writing - often writing about their own experiences. More than half of bloggers are under age 30. They were most likely to list their life and events as the most popular topic, followed by politics and entertainment.
The poll findings are based on a sample of 4,573 Internet users with a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points and a sample from a separate survey of 233 bloggers with a margin of error of plus or minus 7 percentage points.

Dying cat comforted by a deer

Margie Scott was devastated when her 9-year-old cat Sammy was diagnosed with kidney failure, but she never could have predicted what would give her comfort during her pet’s last days.
Because Sammy was declawed, he was strictly an indoor cat. But he always wanted to go outside. So, in his dying days, Scott decided to let Sammy spend some time outside each day. Sammy enjoyed his time outside the apartment, which is surrounded by woods and wetlands.
A family of deer regularly visits the complex, and one day, Sammy was sitting outside in the grass when two young deer happened by.
Scott watched in astonishment at what occurred next. “One walked up to Sammy and they touched noses,” she said. “The deer jumped back and made a sort of a snorting noise, like he was sneezing. It seemed like he was taken by surprise,” she said.

What she saw next was even more surprising. ”The deer started licking him all around the head and neck, and Sammy just sat there allowing the deer to do this,” said Scott.
For several minutes, the young deer licked the small cat. Scott grabbed her camera and got a picture of the tender scene.
“It was amazing,” she said. “I truly believe the deer was able to sense that there was something wrong with Sammy and that was why he started licking him, like he was trying to nurture him.”
Two days later, Sammy died.
