Does anyone else think its kind of funny how so much attention has been given to Condi's workout routine lately?

Not only does she not pull political punches, but she can kick your fat butt, too.

Senators in Washington are debating immigration reform are trying to decide whether an actual fence or a 'virtual' fence should be built along parts of the US/Mexican boarder.

Republicans are split on a proposal for a "virtual" fence, using cameras and other technology to monitor illegal traffic. Some want more real fences or walls for long stretches of the line.

OK, I'm a uniter, not a divider, so here's my suggestion: HOW ABOUT BOTH?!?!?!

Rep. David Dreier, R-Calif., who co-wrote the House bill calling for the border fence, said he was taken aback by seeing the size and scale the project would require."I just can't get over how massive this is, compared to (the border) in California," he told the Arizona Republic. "The prospect of a wall is kind of a tough, tough thing."

Is it tougher than supporting MILLIONS of illegal aliens? Geez...

There's nothing like sitting back with a tall glass of Jack Bauer...

So, are any of you out there 24 fans?

If you are, I have just one question...

Would you sacrifice the entire remaining staff of CTU to see Kim die?

It always cracks me up when someone calls the President stupid while their foot is firmly crammed into their mouth.

Case in point: Barbara Streisand. (Try not to cringe at the mention of her name.)

Streisand published yet another diatribe wherein she calls President Bush a "C student."

Never mind she misspelled 11 words. I guess Babs is too good for a spell checker.

Are you sick and tired of waiting on hold forever on a so-called customer service line?

Arapahoe County, CO. is threatening to fire a veteran Public Works employee for promoting the fact that he is an English speaking American.

Mike Gray, a heavy equipment operator, has been with the county for 16 years, and runs his own lawn service business on the side.


The problems began last spring. Gray, 50, owns a lawn service business on the side. He was routinely driving to work in his pickup truck towing a trailer that he uses to carry lawn mowing equipment for his business. On the side of his trailer, the married father of two affixed a sign that reads "Lawn Services Done With Pride!! By An English Speaking American."

The sign also gives Gray's phone number and the lettering is over a background of an American flag.

"There are a lot of people in the lawn service that are non-English speaking," Gray said. "Customers and different people were telling me that they have a hard time trying to communicate with them about the work they want done on their yards. I just want to let people know they at least can communicate with me when I do work on their property."

Gray also wears a hat that says,"US Boarder Patrol", which was a gift from his son.

County officials told Gray that the hat must go and the sign must be altered, or else he would be canned. They sent him a letter in Nov. of 2005, and it WILL blow your mind.

"Some of your conduct ... is reprehensible and discriminatory to our non-English speaking and/or Hispanic workforce. You are in violation of ... guidelines which ensure a workplace free from harassment and sensitive to the diversity of employees."

"You are required to permanently remove your cap from the workplace. It is offensive and harassing. Your business sign, if on work premises, must be completely covered at all times. This behavior is inappropriate and any further incidents of this nature may result in further disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment."

Gray has hired a lawyer, and said he is willing to fight for his First Amendment rights.

"I got a new supervisor," said Gray. "He's a politically correct, bleeding heart liberal. I believe in what I'm doing. I got to stand up for what I believe in and I don't think I'm doing a thing wrong. Of course I don't want to lose my job, but I can't back down from something I believe in. Like I say, they're just chipping away at our rights and freedoms."

Gray's lawyer is in the process of filing an injunction so that Gray can continue to wear his hat and use his sign. Lane, the lawyer, issued this statement,"When the government tries to put a gag in people's mouths because they don't like the message that's being delivered, I'd do everything in my power to stop that from happening."

I would ask why the ACLU isn't offering to pro-bono Gray's case, but I'm afraid I'd be laughed right off of this blog!

We live in the only country on Earth that does not expect immigrants to learn the language. Can you imagine if you moved to France or Germany and DEMANDED that they learn English, so that you didn't have to give up your culture? I believe the response would involve a rail...

For all of you Mac users out there: A little funny. Enjoy!

Just a little comparison.

Three German police officers face disciplinary action after lifting their kilts at a fancy dress party while wearing nothing underneath, police said today.

"The three were drunk, wore kilts and then started a squabble with some colleagues," said Berlin police spokesman Klaus Schubert.

"One thing led to another and they started lifting their kilts over and over again to show their all - back and front. Some people thought this wasn't decent and complained to the police."

The three have been transferred to other police stations and face disciplinary action for wrongdoing out of duty hours.

Germany's carnival season ended yesterday after several days of raucous partying and drinking across the nation.

My only question is: What do kilts have to do with German cops?

An anti-war group that belongs to the umbrella organization United for Peace and Justice (UPJ) has announced that it intends to topple the Bush administration during a March 15 Washington, D.C. protest.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

In a message headlined "Storm the White House" that appears on the UPJ Web site, the group Political Cooperative is urging its members:

"TAKE THE WHITE HOUSE BY STORM, Stop Genocide, Torture and Occupation."

The message goes on to explain:

"We will not allow the Slave Holders that Still Prevail in this Country to Rule us any longer . . . The Administration is Criminal and if they will not step down, we must storm in, show them how many of us do not accept a criminal government."

I was unaware that we were still holding slaves in this country. And storming the White House? Puh-lease! I don't think the country is ran from the White House...

The Political Cooperative goes so far as to announce its plans to install an interim government after the Bush administration is toppled:

"The Political Cooperative will put a new, temporary government in place that is comprised of people from Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and all the organizations that have finally made us aware of the truth of the savage practices and illegal policies of our government in assassinating our own officials as well as people throughout the world who oppose their criminal activity."

So we've got Amnesty International running things. Hey, isn't planning a coup and threatening to assasinate political leaders a cartload of felonies?

So, if our government is SO bad, how come these nutties aren't in shakles with a Secret Service guard beating them?

Bush-bashing filmmaker Michael Moore apparently endorses the coup plan, linking to the "Storm the White House" message on his Web site.

Oh, THERE'S a surprise.

Hollywood will be changing the traditional Oscar statue this year in favor of a new, more politically correct version. Collectors predict that the traditional Oscar will become a hot item.

It seems that while Hillary was drafting legislation to smack down the Dubai Ports deal, Bill was advising Dubai. (And he did it for free, too.)

"These guys called him, and he took a phone call from them, and he told them he did not know the details of this specific proposal," said Bill Clinton's spokesman, Jay Carson.

The former President was traveling in Pakistan when he got the call two weeks ago, sources said, and Hillary didn't talk to him about it.

You can bet the Queen of Shrill is furious over this! It seems like Bill is doing some passive-aggressive sabotage...

A high school teacher caught by a student on audiotape in an anti-U.S. and anti-capitalism diatribe was placed on administrative leave after the recording was made public.

In the tape, Jay Bennish – teaching a 10th grade world geography class at Overland High School in Aurora, Colo. – called the U.S. "probably the single most violent nation on planet Earth" and described capitalism as a system "at odds with human rights."

Bennish told students Jan. 29 he found "eerie similarities" to Bush's statements in his State of the Union speech and things Adolf Hitler said, i.e., "We're the only ones who are right. Everyone else is backwards. And it's our job to conquer the world and make sure they live just like we want them to."

"Now, I'm not saying that Bush and Hitler are exactly the same," Bennish said. "Obviously, they are not. OK. But there are some eerie similarities to the tones that they use. Very, very ethnocentric. We're right. You're all wrong.

Twenty minutes of the class was recorded on an MP3 player by student Sean Allen, who can be heard at several points questioning Bennish's declarations.

Bennish has been with the school's social studies faculty since 2000, according to the Denver Post.

An Overland student told KUSA-TV in Denver Bennish's rant was "the usual thing in our school," the only difference being that a tape recorder was there.

"Three quarters of the teachers are anti-Bush – very much so," she said.

Cherry Creek School District spokeswoman Tustin Amole said officials are probing the incident but have taken no disciplinary action. The teacher was placed on leave "to take some of the pressure off of him" during the investigation, Amole said, according to the Post.

After listening to the tape, Superintendent Monte Moses told the Denver paper "a breach of district policy" occurred.

"Our policy calls for both sides to be present ... in the interest of intellectual discourse," Moses said.

The 16-year-old student told talk host Mike Rosen of KOA in Denver yesterday he had been disturbed by the "political rants" he heard in Bennish's class.

"If he wants to give an opinion in class, I'm perfectly OK with that," he said. "But he has to give both sides of the story."

Allen said he often has used a recorder to help take notes.

During the Jan. 29 class, the student argued that the U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were responses to unprovoked attacks on American soil.

Bennish replied that to al-Qaida, 9-11 was a response to U.S. involvement in the Holy Land and to missile attacks during the Clinton administration in Afghanistan and Sudan.

In the mind of al-Qaida, the teacher said, the World Trade Center, the White House, the Pentagon and other buildings are "military targets."

At one point, according to the tape, Bennish asked:

Who is probably the single most violent nation on planet Earth?

(Unidentified student responds: We are.)

The United States of America! And we're a democracy.

Who has the most weapons of mass destruction in the world? The United States.

Who's continuing to develop new weapons of mass destruction as we speak? The United States.

So, why does Mr. Bush think that other countries that are democracies won't wanna be like us? Why does he think they'll just wanna be at peace with each other? What makes him think that when the Palestinians get their own state that they won't wanna preemptively invade Israel to eliminate a potential threat to their security just like we supposedly did in Iraq?

Do you see the dangerous precedent that we have set by illegally invading another country and violating their sovereignty in the name of protecting us against a potential future – sorry – attack?

On capitalism, Bennish said:

If you don't understand the economic system of capitalism, you don't understand the world in which we live. OK. Economic system in which all or most of the means of production, etc., are owned privately and operated in a somewhat competitive environment for the purpose of producing profit.

Of course, you can shorten these definitions down. Make sure you get the gist of it. Do you see how when, you know, when you're looking at this definition, where does it say anything about capitalism is an economic system that will provide everyone in the world with the basic needs that they need? Is that a part of this system? Do you see how this economic system is at odds with humanity? At odds with caring and compassion? It's at odds with human rights.

Anytime you have a system that is designed to procure profit, when profit is the bottom motive – money – that means money is going to become more important potentially than what? Safety, human lives, etc.

The school district has placed the teacher on leave and will complete its investigation this week.

Can you believe this guy is a 10th grade geography teacher? What the hell does any of this have to do with geography?

AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!

I have included a link to the audio tape that the student taped. It is breathtaking!

Identity soup, as it is becoming known by, is under political fire in France. The soup is a historical main staple of soup kitchens for French citizens, and its primary ingredient is inexpensive pork.

However, the political inference was soon realized by the French government, and police are forbidding the soup from being served for fear it may offend Muslims. Police cite the "discriminatory nature of the soup."

Made with smoked bacon, and with pigs' ears, feet and tails, together with vegetables and sausages, the soup is being served secretly, sometimes in different places each day. This, despite the fact that Muslim-ran soup kitchens are free to serve halal food, and Jewish kitchens are permitted to serve kosher foods.

Odile Bonnivard runs a roving soup kitchen.
"Our freedom in France is being threatened. If we prefer European civilization and Christian culture, that's our choice."

An elderly woman named Helene, who has a home but very little money left over after rent, often comes to the kitchen for the pork soup. She says,"At least here there are people who are of the same mind as me. The French, and the Europeans in general, roll over for foreigners, and particularly Islam.

The kitchen has also started to make a political statement with its soup. In France, most soup kitchens provide the needy with a complete dinner, including cheese and dessert. Bonnivard's group even offers a glass of red wine with every meal.

"The only condition required for dining with us: eat pork. Cheese, dessert, coffee, clothing and candy go with the pork soup. No soup, no dessert."

"They're more afraid of us than any march by Islamists or Jews," said Bonnivard's husband, Roger. "We're not yet living in a land of Islam."

It is atrocious that the French government is so worried about the feelings of Muslims that they would deny their own citizens from feeding the hungry through a charity. Atrocious, but not surprising.

You just know that the Imams in France are laughing their butts off.

A figure of Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad depicted as a nuclear weapon, with a UN net trying to catch him appeared in a carnival parade in Dusseldorf, Germany on Monday.

OK, folks. If socialist countries like Germany who usually have a pretty lax attitude towards what others do are seeing Iran as a threat, can we all agree that Ahmadinejad has to be stopped?

The LAST thing we need are nukes in the Middle East, especially in a country that wants Israel to be "wiped off the map."
