QUOTES AND OBSERVATIONS

ABC’s Terry Moran was interviewing Michael Moore and this is a bit of what was said.

Moore : “I’m not a proselytizer.” Moore has been proselytizing, at least politically, his whole life. He calls his new film, SICKO, a statement of faith for him. He continued, “This film is coming from a very deep place, a very spiritual place and a very spiritual place that I believe as a Christian and a Catholic, that it’s a responsibility to make sure that, not only that I’m covered, if something happens to me, but that everyone else is covered.”

Moran : “Is the source of that fearing, is it religious for you, is it your faith?”

Moore : “It is, absolutely.”

JD : You believe this crap?!

Sen. Harry Reid called General Peter Pace, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and General David Petraeus, Iraq overall Commander, incompetent. The man who calls two of our finest soldiers “incompetent” during wartime, while trying to defund troops who are fighting, literally to their deaths, for us abroad, looks like this to the American Public;

Approval ratings according to the most recent Rasmussen Poll:

Paris Hilton – 12%
Harry Reid – 19%
Lindsey Lohan – 20%
Dick Cheney – 38%

Among this crew, only Paris is lower in the eyes of Americans.

William Jefferson: "I have supported every ethics and lobbying reform measure that you and our Democratic Majority have authored."

Congressman William Jefferson was taped accepting a $100,000 cash bribe, $90,000 of which was found in his freezer. Louisville businessman Vernon Jackson pled guilty to paying $400,000 to Jefferson in bribes. The good Congressman faces over 16 counts of bribery, fraud, public corruption, money laundering and racketeering outlined in a 95 page indictment… and 235 years in prison.

In the Democrat’s last presidential “debate”, Delaware Sen. Joe Biden spoke the unthinkable, putting him to the right of almost all Democrats in Congress. He said he wouldn’t vote against funds for the Iraq war effort while Americans were in harm’s way. Whoa! I don’t much like old Joe, but I’ll give him the credit he deserves for standing on his principal, not that of his Party.

As Robert Novak has pointed out, if Bush is willing to pardon 12 million illegal aliens, what’s the big dilemma in pardoning Scooter Libby?

Commencement weekend at the University of California, Los Angeles, sounds like a scheduling nightmare. There are many different graduations taking place as so many ethnic, racial and social groups are allowed to hold their own ceremonies. Here is a sampling:

Chicano/Chicano studies graduation
Women’s studies graduation
Filipino graduation
Vietnamese graduation
Asian-Pacific Islanders graduation
Hispanic graduation, “Raza”
American Indian graduation
Asian graduation
Gay graduation
Lavender (Gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, transgender) graduation

As John Leo writes in the City Journal, “Some students are presumably eligible for four or five graduations. A gay student with a Native American Father and a Filipino Mother could attend the Asian, Filipino and American Indian ceremonies, plus the mainstream graduation and the Lavender Graduation for Gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgendered students.”

Then there’s the usually impersonal “regular” graduation.

Our liberal college and university administrators and profs preach assimilation and integration all day long, but it sure isn’t what’s tolerated on campus.

Ps. Amazon.com has taken over a million orders for the new Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and won’t make a profit. They are discounting the book by $17 and offering free shipping. Go for it kids…of all ages.
