Hell of a town

Mayor Kwame ('where's my Mojo') Kilpatric announced that he is specifically looking for black men to fill 300 positions on the Detroit Police Department. He also announced they are having a little problem with the effort since none of the applicants can pass the urine test for drugs.

Say what?

"Let me tell you, for the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country. Not just because Barack is doing well, but I think people are hungry for change." - Michelle Obama

I have a problem with that statement by Barack Obama's wife. While I am not proud, and in fact very embarrassed by the bad joke we have for a president right now, I have always had pride in what this country is supposed to be about.

Easy decision

The prospect of an extreme social liberal with a Muslim name and background, who voted against English as our official language, and will surrender this country to illegal aliens, becoming President of the United States causes me great concern. But if my choices were between Barack Obama and George Bush, I would vote for Obama without hesitation.

Reason #627

Castro has resigned. Cheney and Bush will now claim this as justification for invading Iraq.
Really, I can't wait to see how the Cheney/Bush crowd try to take credit for this much like Bush Senior desperately tried to take credit for the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Old time religion

Did you hear about the female referee who was barred from working a boys high school basketball game at St. Mary's Academy near Topeka Kansas? The reason given was that a woman could not be put in a position of authority over boys. Normally you only find behavior like that from fundamentalist Muslims in the Middle East. That's why I have a problem with religious nut jobs. Scary people.

Buying Friends

There has been a lot of talk recently about the success of Bush's "Surge" in Iraq. The extra troops are responsible for a small part of the reduction in violence and its not hard to understand why.
If you post cops on every street corner of any high crime area, of course there is going to be a reduction in crime... until they leave. The biggest reason for the calmer atmosphere is that we are literally buying cooperation on a person by person basis. We are handing out millions of dollars in cash to individual Iraqi's and asking them to be nice to us. Just like having a cop on every corner, that will work until you can't do it any more and that time is coming soon.

Maybe its just me but.....

Venezuela president Hugo Chavez announces that he is considering the possibility, of an outside chance, that he just might think, about shutting down oil supplies to the United States and we instantly have our wallets raped at the gas pump. Why does the conspirator in me immediately think that this might be more scripted than spontaneous? You persuade one looney tune with oil to make a threat and all of them make a few extra billion for a couple weeks.
