Great news coming out of Iraq this morning proving once again that the President just needs to keep changing generals till he finds the right one. The AP (al-qaeda propagandists),of course, shows their bias, loud and clear, in the title but this is good news. Even as deaths plunge the AP remain convinced the US will lose

Deaths in Iraq Plunge, but Will It Last?
U.S. military deaths plunged in May to the lowest monthly level in more than four years and civilian casualties were down sharply, too, as Iraqi forces assumed the lead in offensives in three cities and a truce with Shiite extremists took hold.

But many Iraqis as well as U.S. officials and private security analysts are uncertain whether the current lull signals a long-term trend or is simply a breathing spell like so many others before.

And in a completely unrelated note.

French minister's visit shows new stance on Iraq
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner met Iraq's president on Saturday during a visit officials said showed Paris's renewed commitment to a country whose 2003 invasion by U.S.-led troops it strongly opposed.
[snip]
Kouchner discussed the possibility of French companies investing in Iraq at the meeting with the Iraqi officials in Nassiriya, said Abdul Hussein Dawod, spokesman for the provincial governor.


I knew we could count on the French to back us up as soon as there was almost no danger and money to be made. Thanks,for the help mon amie. The US could have used it five years ago but better late than never.

Awe inspiring aren't they. Spent some time up in Sault Ste Marie, Canada version once in the summer and once in the winter. Seeing two sides of the lake give you a whole appreciation for the song. One bone of contention with the words. Superior wasn't called Gitchee Gumey(sp), that was the name for the monster/witch that lived in the lake. There's a rock on the lake in Lake Superior provincial park that has a pictograph of the first voyage across the lake to settle the north shore. Hmmm, might be online some where. Be right back going to yahoo. ;)

Having read that Europeans are in favour of BHO (quelle surprise as they say in France). I am somewhat perplexed. Can this man of straw actually win? Surely when they eventually decide the Democrat candidate, and the real campaign begins, he will be exposed as a total lightweight? It reminds me of those dark days in 1978. Did the Democrats learn nothing from the Carter years?

Time for a laugh
There are lots of different kinds of sex when you get married. For example, when you are newlyweds, you have kitchen sex--the passion is so intense you can't wait to go to the bedroom, it's right here right now, might be on the kitchen counter or the dining room table.
Next, there is bedroom sex. This is after a number of years of marriage, maybe a kid or 2, and you are limited to Saturday morning cartoons hour in the privacy of your own bedroom.

After that comes hall sex. That is when you have been married a LONGGGGGGGGGGG time and you pass each other in the hall, and your spouse says, "F*** you." And you reply, "No, F*** YOU."

For the Europeans, the Obama candidacy represents a win-win situation. If Obama wins the election, the Europeans get a fellow socialist in the White House. But if he loses, it will only confirm their sneering contempt for racist, backwards, Bible-thumping reactionery America. You see? The Europeans couldn't be happier!

(Author unknown)
Age old question,
BARACK OBAMA:
The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a CHANGE! The chicken wanted CHANGE!

JOHN McCAIN:
My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the road.

HILLARY CLINTON:
When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to cross the road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure -- right from Day One! -- that every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn't about me...

DR. PHIL:
The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem on 'THIS' side of the road before it goes after the problem on the 'OTHER SIDE' of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his 'CURRENT' problems before adding 'NEW' problems.

OPRAH:
Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.

GEORGE W. BUSH: We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.

COLIN POWELL:
Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road...

ANDERSON COOPER - CNN:
We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road.

JOHN KERRY:
Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.

NANCY GRACE:
That chicken crossed the road because he's GUILTY! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.

PAT BUCHANAN:
To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.

MARTHA STEWART:
No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.

DR SEUSS:
Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.

ERNEST HEMINGWAY:
To die in the rain. Alone.

JERRY FALWELL:
Because the chicken was gay! Can't you people see the plain truth? That's why they call it the 'other side'. Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media white washes with seemingly harmless phrases like 'the other side'. That chicken should not be crossing the road. It's as plain and as simple as that.

GRANDPA:
In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.

BARBARA WALTERS:
Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the
chicken tell, for the first time, the heartwarming story of how it
experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its life long dream of crossing the road.

ARISTOTLE:
It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.

JOHN LENNON:
Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace..

BILL GATES:
I have just released eChicken2007, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook. Internet Explorer is an integral part of the Chicken. This new platform is much more stable and will never cra... #@&&^(C%

ALBERT EINSTEIN:
Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken ?

BILL CLINTON:
I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of chicken?

AL GORE:
I invented the chicken!

COLONEL SANDERS:
Did I miss one?

DICK CHENEY:
Where's my gun?

AL SHARPTON:
Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens

The Alamo

/revisionist history

From Wikipedia

El Degüello is a bugle call of Moorish origin notable in its use by the Mexican Army during the 1836 Battle of the Alamo. According to James A. Michener's book Texas, the original meaning of the Degüello call was an appeal to an enemy to surrender or else they would die by the sword. General Antonio López de Santa Anna of the Mexican Army used it to signify that no quarter would be given to the enemy.

According to various English-Spanish dictionaries, El Degüello means no mercy. The literal translation is slit-throat. Michener's book translates it as The Beheading.

Another great contiribution to Western culture from the Religion of Peace.

Right, Dar-ul. And its not 'revisionist history' so much as 'poetic license'...

Davy COULD have played that... and the movie's inclusion of that piece of stuff gets people talking about Islamic beheading, temporarily adopted by Mexicans in THEIR futile efforts against the democratic, freedom-loving world...

Just got back from a wedding and sitting next to 2 Obama "supporters". They don't know why.

It is to laugh.

...Democratic women are feeling metaphorically battered by the Obama campaign. "Healing The Wounds Of Democrats' Sexism," as the Boston Globe headline put it, will not be easy. Geraldine Ferraro is among many prominent Democrat ladies putting up their own money for a study from the Shorenstein Center at Harvard to determine whether Sen. Clinton's presidential hopes fell victim to party and media sexism.

How else to explain why their gal got clobbered by a pretty boy with a resume you could print on the back of his driver's license, a Rolodex apparently limited to neosegregationist race-baiters, campus Marxist terrorists and indicted fraudsters, and a rhetorical surefootedness that makes Dan Quayle look like Socrates.

"On this Memorial Day," said Barack Obama last Monday, "as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes – and I see many of them in the audience here today."

Hey, why not? In Obama's Cook County, Ill., many fallen heroes from the Spanish-American War still show up in the voting booths come November. It's not unreasonable for some of them to turn up at an Obama campaign rally, too.

Steyn just has a way with words...

Socrates is overrated. He had a great PR guy in Plato, but the real reason he drank the hemlock is because he wife was a harridan, his kids were irredemable reprobates and he had neverending debts.

Israel deports 'Lebanese patriot' accused of spying

Nasim Nisr's deportation to Lebanon on Sunday is being viewed by many as a prelude to a possible prisoner swap between Israel and Lebanon.

In return for Nisr's release, Hezbollah handed over a brown coffin containing the remains of Israeli soldiers killed during a 2006 war between the two sides.

Now I'm starting to get that slow burn....ARRRGGGG.

Just heard on Fox News that those poor, benighted souls who still smoke cigarettes in NYC will, effective Tuesday, be paying $8.50 per pack*. But not to worry - and please disregard the AMA's statement that the amount of nicotine in cig's has been amped way up by the manufacturers and is as hard to quit as is heroin, NYC's Mayor Bloomberg says anyone can quit - he did!


*Of course, women, children and Minorities will be hardest hit by this new increase in taxation on cig's.

I truly believe there is no way he is going to win the general election. This is all just an exercise in futility for the Dems. I am just enjoying watching the freak show and waiting for that Tuesday.


I agree. I was just thinking about that and wondering why the Dems would want to have him as their candidate. I think that already having a majority in the House and Senate, and possibly gaining even more seats in November, they really don't care if they lose.
Sort of like the overserved gambler with plenty of money already on the table that makes a long shot bet. Even if he loses he still has plenty of chips left if he loses one hand.
