a small dose of reality

Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-Del.) joined the 2008 race for the White House yesterday, declaring that he has the right skills and experience to extricate the United States from Iraq without destabilizing the Middle East.

Biden criticized Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's proposal to cut funding to Iraqi security forces if the Iraqi government fails to meet a series of benchmarks.

"I think it would be a disaster, if that is her plan," he said of the New York senator on "Good Morning America." "They're the people we're supposed to be training so that we can rely on them to aid us in the efforts that we undertake."

Biden said that so many Democrats do not support her gave him hope that he could win the nomination. "My point was she's known by 100 percent of the people and has had the legitimate and understandable support from her husband and there are still 80 percent of the people who hate her guts and think she is full of shit," he told reporters.

Army Transport Planes Arrive in Iowa

Showing his determination to increase the U.S. military presence in Iraq, President George W. Bush said today that he would send 20,000 Democratic presidential candidates surging into Baghdad.

In recent days, Congress has balked at Mr. Bush’s request for more troops, but by dispatching the Democratic presidential hopefuls the president appears to have circumvented his critics.

“A lot of these candidates seem to think they can do a better job in Iraq,” Mr. Bush chuckled. “This is their chance to prove it.”

The president said that Army transport planes would arrive in Iowa later in the day to transport Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-New York), Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), and 19,998 other Democratic candidates to Baghdad.

“This really is a win-win,” White House spokesman Tony Snow told reporters. “I think I speak for everyone at the White House when I say that we can’t wait until these folks board those planes for Iraq.”

But even as Mr. Snow praised the president’s decision to dispatch thousands of presidential hopefuls to Baghdad, he fielded a question from a reporter who asked if the so-called surge would stretch the nation’s supply of Democratic candidates too thin.

“By our count, even after we send the 20,000, there will be more than 40,000 Democratic presidential candidates in reserve,” Mr. Snow said. “That’s more than enough in case war breaks out in Iran or North Korea.”

I've deliberately taken several days to digest the rantings of this angry man following the President's State of the Union Address.  One thing I would NOT ask this guy is "when did you stop beating your wife?"

The anger this man displayed is only a foreshadowing of the divisiveness of the democrat fight for the 2008 nomination.  Their mean spirited divisiveness in beating each other up will unfortunately drag the entire country into the most vicious elections in American history. 

The democrats have started an eighteen month period of lunacy.  It will be 24/7 democrat tv.  Webb if anything is even more sarcastic and meanspirited than BALDY Joe Biden.  With the fringe of hair weave on his forehead, Biden looks in a mirror and deludes himself into thinking he has hair.

Back to Webb...one can only think he is still suffering from Vietnam syndrome. This is one dangerous man.  This angry man is who the democrats hand selected to respesent them to the country.  The same democrats that betrayed Joe Liebermann who they nominated as a VP candidate 6 years ago.  What a contrast.  A thoughtful gentlemen and a bullying angry hater. 

Webb on prozac

Who are the democrats trying to fool?

Are the democrats simply fools?

A review of the whole situation makes Howard Dean seem semi rational when compared to Webb.

Beyond that, it has been 24/7 tv news shows slamming the President and the State of the Union Address before it even occurs.

I think I could write Webb's official highly negative response, Hillary's non commmital fence sitting response and I am not so sure about Obama's response.

People probably won't be interested in Edwards's response or much less Richardson's response.

Last night I saw Bill Richardson being interviewed by Chris Matthews.  Richardson made a good case for himself.  Governor, former UN Ambassador, Energy Secretary.  His resume' and qualifications appear better than the other announced democrat condidates.  That being said, what is he doing in the race?  Wasn't he the ultimate Clinton insider?  Why would be announce at the same time as Hillary?

The debates between the democrats should be fun.  Biden who has less than a 1% chance of winning should be able to stir the pot.  He is one sarcastic mean spirited son of a bitch.

I am hoping some good Republican candidates will come out of the woodwork.  Right now, the announced ones don't do it for me.  McCain is too old and Hillary like.  Giuliani is too ugly to ever be elected.  Romney is a metrosexual.  Who is hell is Brownback?  Why doesn't somebody like Tom Tancredo announce?  I think he would give the democrats a run for their money.

The ongoing feud between Rosie O’Donnell and Donald Trump could have deadly consequences for the world if either obtained nuclear weapons, a group of leading nuclear scientists announced today.

The Chicago-based Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, founded in 1945 as a publication by nuclear physicists worried about the possibility of nuclear war, expressed their concern about the Rosie-Trump brouhaha by moving the fabled Doomsday Clock forward to three minutes to zero.

The scientists’ announcement left little doubt that they see the brutal smackdown between Mr. Trump and Ms. O’Donnell as the most likely harbinger of Armageddon.

“Clearly, if either Rosie O’Donnell or Donald Trump obtained nuclear weapons, the world would be burnt to a crisp,” said Stephen Hawking, the famed cosmologist and mathematician. “We haven’t been so concerned since fighting broke out between Liza Minnelli and David Gest.” 

The park, immediately adjacent to the Hillary Clinton residence, was opened to video voyeurs in November.  The park is enclosed by an electric dog fence to keep Hillary out.

To be used exclusively for bear sex

Trying to get in on the ground floor, Hillary bought the first ever Saddam collection auctioned at Sotheby's.  However it has turned into much more.  No more empty bed.  Every night a different item lies next to her, one night a medal, one night mustache hair.  When Obama gets his paws on this story, Hillary is history.  She won't mind.  Her new friends will comfort her.

Probably the only true conservative of the bunch.  I believe he means what he says and says what he means.  With no dominant Republican candidate and no serving Vice President seeking the nomination, the field is wide open.  That is in addition to the fact that a lot of Republicans have turned wishy washy to try to keep their Senate and House seats.  Finally I frankly think a lot of Republicans are afraid of Hillary.  Tancredo is not.  I recommend you research his record, listen to what he has to say and tell your friends about Tom Tancredo.

"I believe that what we are fighting here is not just a small group of people who have hijacked a religion, but it is a civilization bent on destroying ours."    Tom Tancredo

The only people who don't know this is true are moronic liberals

Canadian wildlife officials are looking for a brave driver prepared for a 3,500-kilometre (2,200 mile) trip to take a stinky stowaway skunk back to her home in California.

But the skunk, who survived a seven-day journey across the United States and into Canada without food and water, after being accidentally locked away in a transport truck, is having a hard time finding someone to give her a ride home.

"We can never give a no-spray guarantee, of course," said Nathalie Karvonen, executive director at the Toronto Wildlife Center, which has been caring for the skunk since January 5, referring to the black-and-white striped animal's foul-smelling defense mechanism.

Up here, in the Northern Plains, we just recovered from a Historic event--- may I even say a "Weather Event" of "Biblical Proportions" --- with a historic blizzard of up to 44" inches of snow and winds to 90 MPH that broke trees in half, knocked down utility poles, stranded hundreds of motorists in lethal snow banks, closed ALL roads, isolated scores of communities and cut power to 10's of thousands.

FYI:

George Bush did not come.

FEMA did nothing.

No one howled for the government.

No one blamed the government.

No one even uttered an expletive on TV .

Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton did not visit.

Our Mayor did not blame Bush or anyone else.

Our Governor did not blame Bush or anyone else, either.

CNN, ABC, CBS, FOX or NBC did not visit - or report on this category 5
snowstorm.  Nobody demanded $2,000 debit cards.

No one asked for a FEMA Trailer House.

No one looted.

Nobody - I mean Nobody demanded the government do something.

Nobody expected the government to do anything, either.

No Larry King, No Bill O'Rielly, No Oprah, No Chris Mathews and No
Geraldo Rivera.

No Shaun Penn, No Barbara Striesand, No Hollywood types to be found.

Nope, we just melted the snow for water.

Sent out caravans of SUV's to pluck people out of snow engulfed cars.

The truck drivers pulled people out of snow banks and didn't ask for a
penny.

Local restaurants made food and the police and fire departments
delivered it to the snowbound families.
      
Families took in the stranded people - total strangers.

We fired up wood stoves, broke out coal oil lanterns or Coleman
lanterns.

We put on extra layers of clothes because up here it is "Work or Die".

We did not wait for some affirmative action government to get us out of
a mess created by being immobilized by a welfare program that trades
votes for 'sittin at home' checks.

I ran across this inspiring item the other day:

Even though a Category "5" blizzard of this scale has never fallen this early, we know it can happen and how to deal with it ourselves.

"In my many travels, I have noticed that once one gets north of about 48 degrees North Latitude, 90% of the world's social problems evaporate."

It does seem that way, at least to me.

A Columbus, Ohio man held a press conference today to announce that he has yet to see Britney Spears’ vagina, in spite of the nearly ubiquitous images of it readily available on the Internet.  The joker probably will claim next he hasn't you-tubed Saddam's hanging.

Moe, Larry and Curly above claim they never have porn surfed

Douglas ********, 33, of Baltimore, Maryland said that he was making his announcement in order to cement his place in history as the only person in North America, if not the industrialized world, never to have seen Ms. Spears’ private parts.

“I have not seen Britney Spears’ vagina,” he said to a skeptical press corps. “I have been really busy with ferreting out conspiracies and making up other conspiracies and I haven’t gotten around to it.”

But even as Douglas made his startling announcement, friends and experts alike came forward to cast doubt on his claim that he has never seen the recording artist’s omnipresent genitalia.

“I like Douglas, but this whole thing smacks of a hoax,” said Miller Mos, one of his drinking buddies. “I think it’s kind of sad that he would do something like this to get attention.”

Davis Logsdon, who studies the impact of celebrities’ private parts on American culture at the University of Minnesota, agreed that the claim seemed “far-fetched,” but allowed that it was “in the realm of possibility.”

“It’s possible that someone could have a working Internet connection and still not see Britney Spears’ vagina,” Mr. Logsdon said. “It’s not like he claimed that he never saw Paris Hilton’s vagina.”

Thank you notes, once feared a dying form of correspondence, are making a comeback via e-mail and text messaging but etiquette experts are reluctant to endorse anything but a handwritten note.

Peter Post, a director of the U.S.'s Emily Post Institute that offers etiquette and manners advice, said increasing numbers of people had stopped writing thank you notes and were telephoning instead to thank for a holiday gift or party.

But the proliferation of e-mails and text messaging on cell phones meant people were writing again to thank people.

I say an email or text message is better than nada

U.S. sailors and high school students cruised bars and nightclubs in Mexico's racy Tijuana border city at the weekend, undaunted by a crackdown on violent drug gangs by thousands of Mexican security forces.

Dance music of Shakira and other Latin pop stars pumped out of clubs on Tijuana's tawdry Avenida de la Revolucion as federal forces in combat fatigues and armed with automatic weapons patrolled in pick-up trucks.

Definitely my Spring Break 2007 destination

More than 4,000 soldiers, marines, federal and state police poured into Tijuana, a long-time favorite destination for U.S. revelers, last week as part of new President Felipe Calderon's war on organized crime and drug cartels.

But the military presence did little to dampen the mood among Americans who crossed the border from San Diego to live it up in Tijuana's tequila-fueled raucous nightlife.

They would NEVER dare arrest and jail a dead geezer senator.

Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter.

The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups:  Liberals and Conservatives.

Once beer was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages were formed.

Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to B-B-Q at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the conservative movement.

Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly B-B-Q's and doing the sewing,  fetching and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement. Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women.  The rest became known as girliemen.

Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy and group hugs and the concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided.  Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass.

Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare.

Another interesting evolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men. Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn't fair to make the pitcher also bat.

Conservatives drink domestic beer. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big-game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, corporate executives, athletes, Marines, and generally anyone who works productively.  Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living.

Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans.

That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America. They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing.

A New Yorker dubbed "Subway Superman" received the city's highest civic award on Thursday after pinning down a stricken stranger on subway tracks just enough to allow an oncoming train to run over the top of them.

Wesley Autrey, 50, jumped onto the subway tracks at a station in Manhattan's Harlem neighborhood on Tuesday to help Cameron Hollopeter, who had suffered a seizure and fallen.

Autrey held down Hollopeter's convulsing body in the track bed as the train passed just centimeters above them.

While Bloomberg called Autrey a "true hero" and the New York Post newspaper dubbed him the "Subway Superman," the construction worker -- who went to work as normal after the incident -- said the real heroes were U.S. troops in Iraq.

Along with the civic award, Autrey was also given a year's worth of free rides on New York's subway and buses, then met with real-estate mogul Donald Trump, who gave him a $10,000 check, along with two other checks from undisclosed donors.

Every year at this season, the statistics come out about the number of journalists around the world who died for the story.  There are a couple of key organizations who make the count; their methodologies vary as do their figures, but the end result is clear: journalism can be a deadly profession, and 2006 proved the point.

The Brussels’-based International News Safety Institute on Tuesday called 2006 “the worst year on record for news media casualties”. It counted a total of 167 journalists and support staff who died trying to cover the news in 37 countries in 2006.

Rot in hell yellow bastards

The U.S.-based Committee to Protect Journalists said 55 journalists were killed in direct connection to their work in 2006, and it is investigating another 27 deaths to determine whether they were work-related. The CPJ, which focuses on press freedom issues, doesn’t include accidental deaths or count support staff, which is why its numbers are lower than other tallies.  Why on earth would anybody fund a committee to protect journalists?  Idiosy.

In a joint press conference in Hell today, recently diseased dictators Saddam Hussein of Iraq and Augusto Pinochet of Chile blasted what they called “intolerable overcrowding” in Satan’s kingdom, complaining that the two of them had been forced to become roommates for eternity.

The year-end death-spurt among evil dictators had many Hell-watchers wondering how Satan would accommodate the sudden influx of international pariahs, especially since both Saddam and Pinochet had reportedly sold their souls to the devil decades ago in the hopes of securing Hell’s coveted presidential suite.

But as a result of dying just weeks apart in the last month of 2006, the two madmen arrived in the underworld only to be informed that they would have to bunk down with each other forever.

“As evil madmen, we had every right to expect a special place in Hell,” said Saddam, who was hanged by an Iraqi executioner last week. “I didn’t gas all of those Kurds to spend eternity with a roommate.”

General Pinochet concurred that Hell was miserably overcrowded, adding, “I’m just counting my blessings that Judith Regan didn’t kick the bucket, too.”

But minutes after the two totalitarian megalomaniacs concluded their press conference, Satan held a media briefing of his own, blasting both Saddam and Pinochet as “crybabies.”

“Ever since those two dudes got down here it’s been nothing but whine, whine, whine,” Satan said. “I never heard these kinds of complaints from Nixon.”

I didn't invite either of the jackasses and so far I have not been able to outsource them.

Mrs. G. and I happened to be in Japan for New Year's Eve much to my delight.  No way were they wearing body suits.

A troupe of dancers in skin-colored body suits had Japanese national broadcaster NHK apologizing to viewers of its New Year's Eve music special for what seemed to be a full-scale Janet Jackson-style wardrobe malfunction.

The dancers, who all appeared to be topless and wore skimpy bikini-style bottoms and feathered head-dresses, covered the stage during a performance by singer DJ OZMA, prompting about 250 viewers to phone in and complain.

"The dancers were wearing body suits, but we apologize for any misunderstanding," a presenter announced toward the end of the 57th annual "Red and White Song Contest".  Liar.

All claim they were NOT there...more liars.

"I guess it looked a bit too real," local media quoted the singer as telling reporters after the show, which regularly tops viewer ratings on New Year's Eve in Japan.  Another liar.

The camel jockeys missed out on this one.  Mrs. G. says we are spending next New Year's Eve "elsewhere".
