Dead and Famous...or just DEAD?

Once again the news headlines are filled with words of death and violence. Once again liberals will scream about gun control. Unless you are completely cut off from the outside world you will have heard how a teenage gunman killed 8 people in a mall before turning the gun on himself. Experts and analysts have gone back and forth over the teenager's motives. They claim depression or just hatred of the world in general.
My view is quite different and I believe correct, the gunman wanted his ten seconds of fame whether he was around to see it or not. How do I come to this conclusion? From his suicide note. In it he told family and friends they would be better off without him in their lives, "I've been a piece of (expletive) my entire life it seems this is my only option." He then changes tone, "Just think tho I'm gonna be (expletive) famous." There in the words of the killer himself is the reason he did what he did.
If the media would quit giving these shooters so much attention I believe the majority of public shootings would stop. Fame seems to have been the motive behind this shooter and the shooters at many other places including Virginia Tech. So message to the MSM( mainstream media), "Don't give this guy the attention he wanted, then others will realize that the only thing they're going to be is dead, not dead and famous. Now give us some real news, and I don't mean about Britney Spears' latest binge or Paris Hilton's Chihuahua."

A Bear Named Muhammed

Sudanese Muslims are in an uproar over an incident regarding a British-born teacher, in Khartoum, who allowed her students to name their class teddy bear "Muhammad". Apparently this is an insult to the Islamic "prophet" and the Muslim population is not going to sit still over this. They want the teacher executed, perhaps President Bush could remind them that they are supposed to be a "religion of peace" again?
If anything this incident should open people's eyes to the real Islam, a religion driven by fear and death. Any honest scholar of history will tell you that the reason Islam spread so fast was because "infidels" were given two choices convert or die. Islam was never about peace, is not about peace and never will be about peace, just ask the Israelis.
The teacher has been imprisoned for 15 days and faces deportation back to the United Kingdom, hopefully the government won't give in to the mobs, but you never know. Just a quick question to any Muslims out there, what is so offensive about Teddy Bears?

Note: I did come up with an answer to that question but I would prefer not to have my name put on the next Jihad blacklist.

Demublicans or Republocrats?

Once again the hypocrisy of Republicans is revealed. Idaho Senator Larry Craig pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in an airport men's room, the undercover cop who witnessed the scene described Craig's actions as solicitation of sex. Craig is now backpedaling and saying the he only pleaded guilty because he wanted the whole thing to go away, the Boise newspaper Boise Statesman was conducting an investigation into Craig's "sexual orientation", for the past eight months.
Several Republican senators have called for Craig’s resignation and I agree…call the newspapers I agree with John McCain! If any Democrat was caught in such an act (not that he would be, the Democrats have experience avoiding detection, and if they are can always bribe the witnesses) I would expect nothing less, which definitely means that Senator Craig shouldn't get off the hook.
I’m beginning to think that the Republican Party needs to start over from the ground up; too many Republicans are indeterminable from Democrats except that when Republicans are caught it makes headlines, Democrats tend to have their stories buried on page 12 right next to Soap Opera reviews. Republicans are becoming more and more like Democrats, which is why they lost the 2006 elections, voters couldn’t tell the difference except that the Democrats ostensibly were more conservative. Republicans spend taxpayers’ money like Democrats-take bribes like Democrats-are as corrupt and immoral as Democrats-in my book it’s starting to become a no-party nation.
President Bush’s best response to this could be borrowed from Warren Harding, “I have no trouble with my enemies. I can take care of my enemies in a fight. But my d--n friends, they’re the ones who keep me walking the floor nights.”

Unless you live in a cave or are deaf and blind you no doubt know that this past Saturday the last in the Harry Potter series came out. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows is perhaps the most hyped-up book since...well, since the last Harry Potter. Posters advertising it are everywhere, "Will you be with Harry at the end?" and various other slogans were (and are) plastered all over. Yahoo news and AOL news ran endless stories on everything from supposed pirated copies to fans' guesses as to the ending of this series. I (as much as it may shock some of you) have read two of the Harry Potter books (Chamber of Secrets & Goblet of Fire), and while I didn't come across anything that I particularly objected to and I must admit that they were well-written and fairly interesting (to fantasy readers) I didn't understand what all the fuss was about. Many claim that they are anti-Christian and no true Christian should read them, others claim that they are in fact "Christian" books (in the sense that they endorse Christian truths). I found no evidence that supports one claim above the rest, the books in themselves seem to be fairly harmless, a good story with some good ideals. My main problem with this series is the cult-like following that they have caused to spring up, kids and adults who are so obsessed with them that they dress up and stand in lines for hours (sometimes days) to see the movies or buy the books; and the obsession for witchcraft which has swept the world. Another is the controversy they cause between Christians, some are accused of being narrow minded because they don't read or let their kids read the books or see the movies, others are accused of being too tolerant because they read the books and love the movies, I prefer to think that your response to Harry Potter is your own business, there most probably is no right answer. Some families may like the adventures of the boy wizard others may be wary of it, but in the end it is a personal choice, but just because someone doesn't subscribe to your view doesn't mean you should beat them over the head with it. The reason that Harry Potter has grown to this dimension is most probably due to the controversy among Christians, case-in-point: The DaVinci Code, until the church began reacting to its ridiculous claims it was relatively small, the very fact that there was controversy made lots of people, including Christians, read the book or see the movie. So it is with Harry Potter, let's hope that now the end has come (ostensibly) we can go back to normalcy.

Happy 4th

Nothing says it better than this:

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness of his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

President Sticky Rice?

Election officials in Boston are concerned about plans to create election ballots in Chinese, state officials have introduced a plan calling for Chinese ballots to be distributed in precincts with prominent Chinese-speaking populations. Because of the lack of Chinese characters that match presidential candidates' last names, the translators have been picking characters that match the syllables of those names. Thus Mitt Romney will be known as "Sticky Rice" and Barack Obama as "Oh Bus Horse".
I have a suggestion for these concerned officials, stick with English...it's worked pretty good for this long. If these people live in America and want to vote in America they should at least learn English enough to participate in the everyday affairs of this country. If they want to speak Chinese among their friends and family, read Chinese, write Chinese so be it, but at least demonstrate your willingness to contribute to society by learning English. This country shouldn't have to bend over backwards for people who won't try to fit in. This isn't just for the Chinese either, any person of any nationality who is unwilling to make that smallest of efforts to become an American shouldn't even be granted citizenship.

3...2...1...Pinned!

I want tickets! Ann Coulter has agreed to debate Elizabeth Edwards, this is going to be the most lopsided debate since John Edwards vs. Dick Cheney in 2004.

Mrs. Edwards called MSNBC's "Hardball" where Ann was giving an interview and accused her of lowering "the political dialogue". Apparently, Mrs. Edwards was referring to the comment made by Coulter on Monday that she just wished that John Edwards had been "killed in a terrorist assassination plot," Coulter was picking up on remarks made by HBO's Bill Maher to the same effect about Dick Cheney. Mrs. Edwards then continued by mentioning Coulter's comment that she wouldn't talk about Edwards because you had to go to rehab if you said the word "Faggot," and continuing back to things Coulter said during the Democratic presidential primaries in 2004 about Edwards politicizing his son's death.

During this rant Mrs. Edwards suddenly popped this gem in, "We can't have a debate about issues if you're using this kind of language." At which Coulter said she would debate Mrs. Edwards.

This debate (which won't actually take place) will be over before it starts, I predict a ringer for Coulter.

"Zero Intelligence"

This time the "zero tolerance" laws for schools have gone too far.

#1 Fifth-graders in Racho Palos Verdes, California decorated their promotion mortarboards with American flags and toy soldiers to support the troops in Iraq. These patriotic kids were ordered by school officials to cut off the tiny plastic weapons that the toy soldiers were holding. So now plastic 1/2 inch weapons are a danger to students? There is a difference between safe and stupid.

#2 In Rhode Island, a kindergartner was suspended for having a plastic knife to cut cookies with. I'm surprised the school didn't call the FBI to investiagte, the kid is probbaly part of a terrorist plot to attack all kindergarten schools in Rhode Island...give me a break.

#3 Last year in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, senior Patrick Agin was told that his senior picture of him dressed up in his medieval re-enactor's costume would not be put in the school yearbook because he was holding a sword in the picture. Agin understood his school's policy for no weapons on school grounds, he had never brought the sword to school, and yet his photo was being censored. This year school officials relented and published the yearbook with the photo. Agin was quoted as saying, "You can't really have a zero tolerance. We have track and field. We throw javelins. If you think about it, you can pretty much make anything into a weapon." Agin is right "zero tolerance" is a joke.

Brand New Creation Museum Opening Memorial Day 2007

This place looks awesome, I had a chance to go see Ken Ham back in April at a Church Conference, I got to see some advance photos of the place.

Presidents From A to Z (from 1 to 41 actually)

First off, you don't have to tell me that there have been 43 presidents (actually 42, Grover Cleveland served two non-consecutive terms), I know that, but I found the fact that William H. Harrison (9th president) died after one month in office made him hard to rank on performance.

But the other 41 have no excuse, so here goes (I have inserted quotes from each president, if there is any political bias it is intentional-sorry):



1) Ronald Reagan. "Evil is powerless when the good are unafraid."



2) Abraham Lincoln. "I don't know who my grandfather was; I am much more concerned to know what his grandson will be."



3) George Washington. "To be prepared for war is one of the most effectually means of preserving the peace."



4) Theodore Roosevelt. "The hardest lessons to learn are those that are the most obvious."



5) James Monroe. "If America wants concessions, she must fight for them. We must purchase our power with our blood."



6) George W. Bush. "Great harm has been done to us. We have suffered great loss and in our grief and anger we have found our mission and our moment. Freedom and fear are at war."



7) Andrew Jackson. "One man with courage makes a majority."



8) Thomas Jefferson. "Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom."



9) Richard Nixon. "Don't get the impression that you arouse my anger. You see, one can only be angry with those he respects."



10) James Madison. "It is universally admitted that a well-instructed people alone can be permanently a free people."



11) Franklin Roosevelt. "When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on."



12) John Adams. "I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy."



13) Calvin Coolidge. "The nation that forgets its defenders will be itself forgotten."



14) George H. W. Bush. "I'll be glad to reply to or dodge your questions, depending on what I think will help our election most."



15) Dwight Eisenhower. "In war there is no substitute for victory."



16) James Polk. "No president who performs his duties faithfully and conscientiously can have any leisure."



17) John Quincy Adams. "Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost."



18) William McKinley. "Unlike any other nation, here the people rule, and their will is the supreme law."



19) John F. Kennedy. "We are not against any man-or any nation-or any system, except as it is hostile to freedom.



20) Gerald Ford. "A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have."

21) Andrew Johnson (The goal is to strive for is a poor government but a rich people.

22) Harry Truman. "Carry the battle to them. Don't let them bring it to you. Put them on the defensive and don't ever apologize for anything."

23) Grover Cleveland. " Though the people support the government; the government should not support the people."

24) James Garfield. "A nation is not worthy to be saved if, in the hour of its fate, it will not gather up all its jewels of manhood and life, and go down to the conflict, however bloody and doubtful, resolved on measureless ruin or complete success."

25) Ulysses S. Grant. "My failures have been errors of judgement, not of intent."

26) Franklin Pierce. "You have summoned me in my weakness. You must sustain me by your strength."

27) Chester A. Arthur. "Since I came here I have learned that Chester A. Arthur is one man and President of the United States is another."

28) Martin Van Buren. "It is easier to do a job right than to explain why you didn't."

29) Warren Harding. "It is my conviction that the fundamental trouble with the people of the United States is that they have gotten too far away from Almighty God."

30) Rutherford B. Hayes. "I would honor the man who would give to his country a good newspaper."

31) Woodrow Wilson. "There is a price which is too great to pay for peace, and that price can be put in on word. One cannot pay the price of self-respect."

32) Herbert Hoover. "Free speech does not live many hours after free industry and free commerce die."

33) Benjamin Harrison. "It is quite as illogical to despise a man because he is rich as because he is poor. Not what a man has, but what he is, settles his class."

34) Millard Fillmore. "The man who can look upon a crisis without being willing to offer himself upon the altar of his country is not fit for public trust."

35) John Tyler. "Wealth can only be accumulated by the earnings of industry and the savings of frugality."

36) William Clinton. "I don't suppose there's any public figure that's ever been subject to any more violent personal attacks that I have."

37) Lyndon Johnson. "Being president is like being a jackass in a hailstorm. There's nothing to do but stand there and take it."

38) William Taft. "The trouble with me is that I like to talk too much."

39) Zachary Taylor. "It would be judicious to act with magnanimity towards a prostrate foe."

40) James Buchanan. "The ballot box is the surest arbiter of disputes among free men."

41) James Carter. "Whatever starts in California unfortunately has an inclination to spread."


This list is not to be definitive it is simply the result of my own research into the matter, enjoy, feel free to disagree, but please concede # 41 at least.

Which Is Worse?

Which is worse: 1) to be the worst president in U.S. History? 2) to be accused of being the worst president in U.S. History by the worst president?

If you want the answer ask President Bush, the current administration has been called the "worst in history" by Jimmy Carter. I guess if any one would know about worst administrations it would be him. Carter, the president whose cabinet made Ulysses S. Grant's and Warren Harding's cabinets look like the a church committee.

The prime example of this is Carter's ex-Attorney General (Ramsey Clark) who was advisor to Saddam Hussein's defense team. Besides Clark all of Carter's cabinet was filled with cronies. Carter promised to raise the presidency above cronyism but half of Carter's cabinet had helped launder money through the Carter family business into good ol' Jimmy's campaign. But of course these people were "qualified" it didn't have anything to do with their illegal practices.

In light of this recent event I will be posting my take on the ranking of the presidents in my next blog.

Resign Away

Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty has announced his resignation from the Justice Department. Apparently all the heat that DoJ has been taking over the firing of 9 U.S. attorneys has gotten to him.

Charles Schumer (the senior senator from the lousy state of New York) was quoted as saying, "It seems ironic that Paul McNulty, who at least tried to level with the committee, goes while Gonzales, who stonewalled the committee, is still in charge." It seems that Schumer is as dumb as he is liberal (which is saying a lot). It should be obvious to everyone that McNulty's resignations, and the resignations of two other administration officials, is not because they, or anyone else for that matter, did something wrong, but because the press and congress has been blowing this way out of proportion and they don't want to be accused of something they didn't do.

The press jumps on Bush for the firing of 9 attorneys for "political purposes" and ignore the fact that Clinton, on assuming office, fired over 90 attorneys, but of course Bill Clinton wasn't a political animal, heck no, but George Bush sure is. Does anyone else sense a double standard?

One would think the press and congress would "build a bridge and get over it" by this time, but once Scooter Libby's trial was over they needed a new "scandal" and so now they're waiting for the next action, that could possibly be interpreted by them as a scandal, to happen.

While, I've come to expect this from the media it doesn't make me any less mad that only the Democrats can get away with anything, including murder. Right, Senator Kennedy?

A Savior For The World

In the 2006 film Superman Returns, Superman comes back to Earth after a 5-year trip to the remains of his home planet, Krypton. On his arrival he discovers that the world has largely forgotten him, so much in fact that his former girlfriend, Lois Lane, won a Pulitzer Prize for an article entitled "Why the World Doesn't Need Superman." When he gets a chance to see Lois he asks her to come with him for a quick flight. He takes her up above the city and as they gaze down on the bright lights he asks her, "What do you hear?" (Just in case you don't know much about Superman, he has supersonic ears that can hear everything), Lois responds, "Nothing." He looks at her and says, "I hear everything. You wrote that the world doesn't need a savior but everyday I hear people crying for one." I always thought that line was quite deep and especially these last few days as I read the news headlines. Here are several from today: Deadly Earthquake Rocks Chile Roadside Bombs Kill Seven In Afghan Attacks Nine Killed In Weekend Violence in Philly Tornado Levels House In Texas Panhandle Suicide Bombings Around Iraq Kill 46

If ever the world needed a savior it's now. Unfortunately, we don't have a Superman to come swooping in and save us. But as a Christian I believe we have a Super God and He can save us from ourselves. But for Him to save us we need to cry out to Him. The world by and large has rejected God absolutely, its time we who haven't got up off of our butts and did something about it.

But we can't just explain to them that God can save them, we need to explain to them why they need God. The culture is saturated with violence and sex, but God is not allowed, which means this culture has no clue about who God is and what He can do for them. It's time for a change, and this means now!

The biggest story of this past week was of course the shooting at Va. Tech, "Why did it happen? people asked, are asking and will ask. The answer is because once God is taken out of the public mind human life is considered worthless, we abort babies everyday without thinking twice about it, euthanasia is everywhere, but we pretend that school shootings are more wrong than abortions. Who made the rules of right and wrong? God.

So if you don't believe in Him then there is no right and wrong, that means you can't call what happened at Va. Tech wrong, but everyone says it was and it is (I agree). But if there's a right and wrong then there is a right and wrong rule giver and He says that killing any human is wrong, whether that life is a college student or professor, an elderly person or a little defenseless baby.
Its time for the world to rethink its position, not on guns or nuclear weapons but on God. And the Christians need to help make it happen.

Ban guns? Are you out of your mind?

With the latest school shooting incident having ocurred on Monday, liberals are once again harping about gun control. Apparently liberals believe that gun control laws would stop this violence that has become all too common place in this country. This would have the exact opposite effect actually, gun crimes would escalate as gun laws became stricter. Why? For a very simple reason.
Criminals would feel free to attack more often if there wasn't a chance that the person they attacked wouldn't whip out a gun and shoot back. The thing about criminals is they don't mind breaking the law, I sincerely doubt the Va. Tech shooter was concerned about breaking any laws. What could have stopped the madman from his rampage? A bullet. If a Va. Tech student or faculty member had had a gun on his/her person the killer wouldn't have made it very far.
The fact that any student or faculty member might possibly have a gun might even have stopped this killer from attempting anything and the 32 victims might still be alive and well.
As Brad Stine (a Christian comedian) says if banning guns works so well, "Why stop there, I know, let's ban crime." Ridiculous isn't it folks? But so is this nonsense about gun control making our country safer.

"The Big Bad Rove"

How much do Democrats hate Karl Rove?

Sorry, I can't answer that question, there are no words in the English language that describe their level of hatred towards Karl Rove. Now they are going as far as to say that Rove has been purposefully deleting emails because of incriminating content about his role in the firing of eight U.S. Attorneys (unless you live in a hole in the ground I'm sure you've heard about this).

The Democrats are furious that they couldn't get him on the Valerie Plame charge and are scrambling to oust him (or at least make him resign). Eventually everything comes back to Karl Rove, if you listen to the Democrats for too long you might end up thinking the man is Satan himself (maybe that's who Muslims refer to when they say "The Great Satan." It's not America, it's one man in particular). Rove even masterminded Hurricane Katrina, he was down there smashing levees, etc. just to make sure the poor people drown.

Personally I don't think Rove deserves all that credit. Bush called him "the architect" after the 2004 election, but if he had been doing his job right it would have been a landslide, instead of just a victory, come election night there would have been no doubts. I don't think that Rove is as clever as everyone makes him out to be, however, if it keeps the Democrats happy so be it.

Returning to the email thing, I found it amusing that Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) said, "Those e-mails are there, they just don't want to produce them." Well, Mr. Leahy since you are omniscient (all knowing for those of you in Rio Linda-haha) maybe you could tell us where they are? It would save the RNC and the White House a lot of trouble.

Amazing Movie!

If you see one movie this month see "Amazing Grace". I recently went to see it and came away completely impressed. Hollywood can still make good movies, and "Amazing Grace" is one of them. The amazingly true story of William Wilberforce and his fight to end the English slave trade makes a movie like no other. But enough said, just go and see it...

The Best Presidential Ticket Ever!

Fox News is starting a parody news show called "The Half Hour News Hour" and the intro is awesome...check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F49e64yq8lI. I would really support this ticket.

President Who?

Many people have been speculating on who will win the presidency in 2008 as more and more candidates (Republican and Democrat) step forward. One by one Americans are falling into line behind their pick. I will be turning 18 in May and so be able to vote in the upcoming election but haven't yet seen seen any candidate who inspires confidence. Roger Hitchcock (filling in for Rush Limbaugh today) wants Rudy Giuliani to be elected. The Pendragon has chosen Mitt Romney to stand behind, but as of yet I am undecided. The only candidate who even sparked any interest is Senator Sam Brownback (R-KS) and he is a virtual unknown on the national stage. So for right now I don't endorse any candidate...I'm waiting for the final roster and then I will make my decision.

Global warming (or lack thereof)

Now I know that God has a sense of humor, no sooner do the doom-and-gloomers start talking about global warming than he sends a cold wave through the United States. Some scientists believe that within decades snow will not exist and our children will be astonished that we had snow that came above our boots. I'm still trying to cope with these pictures of towns in upstate New York ...where in the past week OVER 7 FEET OF SNOW has fallen. And according to weather reports around 12 more inches is due over the weekend. God made snow and global warming theorists...and sometimes He likes to have a little fun with both.
