A timeless punchline


Fox is right. Nothing is sacred. Good Lord!


Is Reid “cracking” under the pressure? Or is he just cracked?

“Instead of joining us on the right side of history, all the Republicans can come up with is, ‘slow down, stop everything, let’s start over.’ If you think you’ve heard these same excuses before, you’re right,” Reid said Monday. “When this country belatedly recognized the wrongs of slavery, there were those who dug in their heels and said ‘slow down, it’s too early, things aren’t bad enough.'”

….

Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said Reid’s remarks were over the top.

“That is extremely offensive,” he told Fox News. “It’s language that should never be used, never be used. … Those days are not here now.”

Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., suggested Reid was starting to “crack” under the pressure of the health care reform debate.

“I think it’s beneath the dignity of the majority leader,” Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., said. “I personally am insulted.”

I’d move back to Las Vegas next year just to be able to vote against this jerk. He’s facing a hard time next year and I’ll be relishing his loss.


Jennings: the best advertisement for home schooling

Kevin Jennings

From BigGovernment and Gateway Pundit. This is a true must read but be warned, it’s sexually graphic and highly disturbing. And why Kevin Jennings still has a position in the White House is a mystery to me! This man doesn’t belong anywhere near our children’s education let alone near our children, period!

Just as Van Jones and Anita Dunn (yea, I know her job was ‘a temporary” position from the beginning) were unceremoniously drummed out of their WH positions, someone HAS to take up the charge to get Jennings out. The stuff sited in the Gateway Pundit blog is disturbing and inappropriate. Exposing children to the kind of sexual information that Jennings and his cohorts are recommending to teachers, borders on criminal.

This is information that most adults don’t want to be exposed to. But to put this stuff on a “recommended reading list” for classroom use, is totally appalling!

The literature sited is not educational but pornographic and the genre of adult reading. None of it is for children. Not for a minute would I call for banning or censoring books and authors but these books are not appropriate for classroom discussion.

This guy needs to go. That is simply it. And someone with a loud voice has to take up the charge.


OH, the hypocrisy of it all! It’s almost funny.

From the UK Telegraph this weekend:

On a normal day, Majken Friss Jorgensen, managing director of Copenhagen’s biggest limousine company, says her firm has twelve vehicles on the road. During the “summit to save the world”, which opens here tomorrow, she will have 200.

“We thought they were not going to have many cars, due to it being a climate convention,” she says. “But it seems that somebody last week looked at the weather report.”

Ms Jorgensen reckons that between her and her rivals the total number of limos in Copenhagen next week has already broken the 1,200 barrier. The French alone rang up on Thursday and ordered another 42. “We haven’t got enough limos in the country to fulfil the demand,” she says. “We’re having to drive them in hundreds of miles from Germany and Sweden.”

And the total number of electric cars or hybrids among that number? “Five,” says Ms Jorgensen. “The government has some alternative fuel cars but the rest will be petrol or diesel. We don’t have any hybrids in Denmark, unfortunately, due to the extreme taxes on those cars. It makes no sense at all, but it’s very Danish.”

The airport says it is expecting up to 140 extra private jets during the peak period alone, so far over its capacity that the planes will have to fly off to regional airports – or to Sweden – to park, returning to Copenhagen to pick up their VIP passengers.

As well 15,000 delegates and officials, 5,000 journalists and 98 world leaders, the Danish capital will be blessed by the presence of Leonardo DiCaprio, Daryl Hannah, Helena Christensen, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Prince Charles. A Republican US senator, Jim Inhofe, is jetting in at the head of an anti-climate-change “Truth Squad.” The top hotels – all fully booked at £650 a night – are readying their Climate Convention menus of (no doubt sustainable) scallops, foie gras and sculpted caviar wedges.

And this being Scandinavia, even the prostitutes are doing their bit for the planet. Outraged by a council postcard urging delegates to “be sustainable, don’t buy sex,” the local sex workers’ union – they have unions here – has announced that all its 1,400 members will give free intercourse to anyone with a climate conference delegate’s pass. The term “carbon dating” just took on an entirely new meaning.



Evidence mounts that Russia leaked climate emails

I never thought I’d see the day when I would be applauding the British press, but they have certainly shown up their American counterparts with this story. And worse yet, the American press isn’t even paying attention to it.

Russia – one of the world’s largest producers and users of oil and gas – has a vested interest in opposing sweeping new agreements to cut emissions, which will be discussed by world leaders in Copenhagen tomorrow.

Russia believes current rules are stacked against it, and has threatened to pull the plug on Copenhagen without concessions to Kremlin concerns.

The Mail on Sunday understands that the hundreds of hacked emails were released to the world via a tiny internet server in a red brick building in a snow-clad street in Tomsk [a Russian university city that Western travelers are forbidden from visiting].
