LET US PRAY!

An update on the crackdown in Iran on women wearing those all too sexy burkas:

The number of women arrested during the first week of a crackdown on women breaking dress codes in Iran has exceeded 150,000. An Iranian judiciary spokesman said Wednesday that 100 women have been ordered to stand trial so far during their moralization campaign imposing stricter Islamic dress code rules. Alireza jamshidi said the women were charged with breaking the law on the veil and instigating prostitution with their dress style. Hmmm….that means wearing tight overcoats and showing hair…again! Those wacky Iranian women just can’t seem to be able to behave, can they?!

Hollywood isn’t interested in that. They’re more interested in telling you how much toilet paper to use. Seems they’ve adopted a religious morality that may as well be anointed The Church of Green. Global Warming is no longer a debate to them. They are worshiping at the alter of their prophet, Al Gore. Not as scary as radical Islam? Read on. They live in mansions when not riding in gas guzzling limousines and flying in private planes on their way to preach to the unwashed masses like you and me…to belch their hypocritical gospel on personal sacrifice and environmental austerity.

This is a religion, make no mistake. If you can somehow convince me that it is less hypocritical than televangelists who want you to send them 100 dollars so they can live in heavenly splendor while appealing to the Lord to “save” you, please bring it on. If I have it so wrong, I could certainly use the education, along with many other readers. These people earn a disproportionate amount of money because common folk all around this country are so hurting for something, or someone, to worship, they’ll pay extravagant ticket prices to see them and will go to great lengths just for a peek at some of these people. We, in this country, have a very strange propensity toward idol worship! It never ceases to amaze me how much credence Americans will award people because they can sing. Or dance. Or play dress up and pretend. The idols who are being worshipped aren’t exactly building hospitals. Or curing cancer. Or educating kids. Or consoling the infirmed and elderly. Or facing down tanks in Tiananmen Square. Or, well…you get the point!

Tell me that our Sages in Hollywood haven’t taken on a religious-like fanaticism, in their zealousness to tell you and me how to “save the planet.” Aren’t we being told how to behave and aren’t more than a couple of you made to feel guilty from time to time because you don’t do enough to “save the planet?” Hey, there are a lot of similarities to what’s going on here and what’s going on in Iran! The one difference, and it is temporary, is Hollywood and the likes of Gore, Clinton, Obama, David, Crow, Edwards, etc. don’t yet have the law to back it up. But give them time and they will. They will have the law in their arsenal as sure as most of you voted for their ilk in the 2006 elections.

Laurie David says we must end the use of light bulbs. Like Rabbi Aryeh Spero says, “No doubt, the liberals are ready to add Thomas Edison to their long list of dead white American Males who for the sake of ‘greed’ have contributed to mankind’s destruction.”

And, by the way, I have no agenda to rip on liberals alone, but the sheer blatancy of this global warming hypocrisy is so pronounced and profound, it would be derelict to ignore. If you think I’m off base on that point, let me know.

The following was reported as part of today’s ABC News Global Warming Report, delivered to us by our esteemed, and very lazy reporter and news reader, Charlie Gibson, during the nightly “news” show:
“Monster weeds” and carbon dioxide-induced bigger and more beautiful trees are the cause of the misery producing pollens that are making us suffer from asthma and allergies.

This was followed by another newsworthy report about Queen Elizabeth’s hats. Equally important, I guess.

Doctor, I have this itch in a very private, nasty place…Please tell me which caused it, President Bush or global warming?

NO FEAR OF FLYING

Let me see if I can describe this so that it makes sense…not rationally, there is nothing rational about this…but sense in the descriptive, even the grammatical.

Our environmentally preachy friend, Hillary, takes a lot of flights on private jets…All alone! She even sent a jet ahead to pick her up and then decided to fly in yet a third jet when she decided the jet she sent to her destination in advance of her flight to another destination, wasn’t good enough for her because “she didn’t like the configuration of the cabin.” Confused?

Here’s how it played out during a couple days last week.

- Environmentally friendly Hillary hopped aboard a Gulfstream II jet last Thursday afternoon for a ride from Washington, DC to Orangeburg for the Democratic debate Thursday night in South Carolina.
- Later that night, that plane took her back to Washington. Are you with me so far?
- Only 46 minutes later, she sent the same plane back to South Carolina to await her arrival back there the next afternoon. (No one seems to know why she did this)
- The next morning she took a Hawker 800 private jet to Greenville, SC after a speech at a New York teachers’ association meeting.
- She then took a Gulfstream II from Greenville to Columbia.
- Then she decided she’d rather have a Gulfstream III for a flight to California later that day (this is when she decided she didn’t like the cabin in the Gulfstream II according to an aviation source familiar with her travel).
- So, the plane she sent back to SC empty the night before wasn’t good enough for her so it sat idle while she took yet another Jet to California. Confused yet?
- Elapsed time: 24 hours.
- She then flew to San Diego where she embarked on another several jaunts aboard the Gulfstream III, over the weekend, to San Jose, then over to Reno, and back to Van Nuys, CA before heading back home to Westchester County, NY early Monday morning.

But she wants you to pay for ethanol production to buy the votes of her corn growing conglomerates by heaving billions in subsidies paid to them by…you guessed it…YOUR tax dollars! Many of these dollars end up in her campaign coffers!

Want to know the names of a few of the poor farmers who get subsidies? Here are a few:

Archer Daniels Midland
Westvaco (Fortune 500 paper company)
Chevron
John Hancock Life Insurance
Du Pont
Caterpillar
Scottie Pippen (small forward - Chicago Bulls)
Ted Turner
David Rockefeller

Ruining the soil with one-crop farming is not environmentally harmful? Let’s drill for some oil…Please!!!

A LOT SWIRLING AROUND UP THERE!

Governor John S. Corzine apologized to New Jersey residents Monday, according to The New York Times, as he left the hospital 18 days after a devastating car crash. You remember the story. The Governor was not wearing a seat belt and was traveling at 91 miles per hour in a 65 mile an hour zone. He broke 11 ribs and fractured his femur in addition to many other serious injuries. “I set a very bad example,” the governor said from his wheelchair outside the hospital as he was being discharged.

He was clocked a short time later traveling home at 70 miles an hour in a 55 mile an hour zone! I swear, I don't make this stuff up!

Word has it that Bruce Willis’ newest entry into the Die Hard movie franchise, “Live Free or Die Hard” is getting some serious buzz. So much so that it has generated three times more chatter in the Blogosphere than Spider Man!
YIPPEE-KI-YAY, M_ _ _ _ _ r F_ _ _ _r!!! I CAN’T WAIT!!!...SERIOUSLY, I LOVE THAT STUFF!

It’s obvious Ex-CIA Director George Tenet’s new book “At the Center of the Storm” is igniting much talk in political and news gaggles since his appearance on 60 Minutes Sunday evening and on several programs subsequently. I have seen several interviews with Mr. Tenet and read several articles about the book and his assertions in it…many about events leading up to the invasion of Iraq…to understand the explosiveness of the debate in political circles and the press’ contradicting views. It’s not often you see the press look at a possible Administration critic with a jaundiced eye. Nor is it often that the press is not in concert and jumping on the pile.

First impressions? Premature as they are, I’m buying a lot of what he’s saying. I can only smell so much smoke before I suspect a raging inferno!

This is a Clinton appointee, Ladies and Gentlemen, so it would be easy to believe that Tenet is pushing an agenda against the Bush Administration. Also, there are gaping holes in his story, even as simple as him saying he was in the White House and ran into Richard Perle on September 12, 2001. Well, he couldn’t have gotten there that fast since no planes were flying on September 12th and there was a lockout in effect at the White House. But the holes aside…and the holes in the Bush Administration’s statements notwithstanding…he comes across as reasonably credible. I will always keep judgment open, of course, since the truth has a way of revealing itself sometimes years after its relevancy, but this guy has a credibility that is hard to deny.

William F. Buckley’s editorializing about the waning of the GOP, possibly to the point of no rescue, sounds plausible. More on this later…

"AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH" PLAYS ON...MARS?

Hey, whatever happened to hemagglutinin neuraminidase? You might know it as ‘H5n1’…C’mon, you know…the Bird Flu??? According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organization and the Influenza Report – 2006, we should be experiencing 40 to 50 percent job abandonment for reasons ranging from caring for sick family to fear. There should be a 30 percent morbidity (not mortality) rate worldwide – that translates into 180 million to over 300 million deaths. To put that figure into perspective, the CDC reminds us that there are 300 million people in the United States. A lot of us should be, you know, DEAD!

According to The Sunday Times, Jonathan Leake (no slouch in UK science circles) writes that Mars is being hit by rapid climate change… so much so that the red planet could lose its southern ice cap. Scientists from NASA say that Mars has warmed by about 0.5C since the 1970s. This is similar to the warming experienced on Earth over approximately the same period. More evidence was sent back by NASAs Viking mission, launched in the 1970s, and then more than two decades later, by Mars Global Surveyor. I didn’t even know Martians had a broad choice of SUVs, much less flatulent cattle and double ply toilet paper!

Legendary Watergate journalist Carl Bernstein publishes, on June 19th, "A Woman in Charge: The Life of Hillary Rodham Clinton." It promises to be a hard-hitting and intimate portrait of the 2008 presidential candidate which will reveal a number of “discrepancies” in her official story. Bernstein, played by Dustin Hoffman in All the President’s Men spent eight years researching the biography. “Bernstein reaches conclusions that stand in opposition to what Senator Clinton has said in the past and has written in the past” said Paul Bogaards, the publisher’s spokesman. Hillary lying? I’m beside myself!

I THOUGHT MY DOG HAD BAD FLATULENCE!

TAKEN IN PART FROM “THE SUN” NEWSPAPER (United Kingdom):

The European Union are demanding new laws to stop cows and sheep PARPING (that’s farting, in America).

Their call came after the UN said livestock emissions were a bigger threat to the planet than transport.

The European Parliament Members have asked the European Commission to “look again at the livestock question in direct connection with global warming”.

The official EU declaration demands changes to animals’ diets, to capture gas emissions and recycle manure.

They warned: “The livestock sector presents the greatest threat to the planet.” The proposal will be looked at by the 27 member states.

The UN says livestock farming generates 18 percent of greenhouse gases while transport accounts for 14 percent.

OOOOOO...KAY!?! Once again….I SHIT YOU NOT!!!


This just in: Saturday evening, April 28th, 2007. It looks like President Bush caused an earthquake in southern England tonight.

OLD NEWS BUT WORTH REPEATING: Eight – make that 8 (All of them) – Democratic Presidential hopefuls flew in private jets to the recent debate in South Carolina. These are the people on the front lines of the battle to keep you feeling guilty about your gas guzzler. Real swells, huh?


Hey, don’t forget to Save the Planet!
