I didn't get to vote in the second round dangit!

/not that it would have made any difference.

Way to go Cindy!

Congrats to idiotarian Sheehan!

"I'd like to thank all those who made this possible."

Can we NOW forget this harridan? (Though I admit to helping her get the award)

*SNIFF*

I'm so proud of my little girl ... We worked so hard to get this for her ...

Can she please now fade out into that tiny, curled up dimension called irrevelancy? The one below the quantum limit of measurability.

I've been waiting up to see the C&F effort.

Bravo!

So THAT's what Charles was waiting for!

That's bootiful, man, just bootiful...

*sniff*

I just feel sorry for her son and the rest of her family. Her grief has turned her into this caricature.

She's become a tool of the radical left. Like all their previous tools, she's going to be dropped when she no longer performs the task they desire.

Who?...

Maybe I can go over to her house to deliver the award in person.

Actually, even though she "lives" in Berkeley, she's never home -- traveling on the Moonbat Circuit 28 days a month. Perhaps I can just leave it on the porch for when she gets back.

Can she please now fade out into that tiny, curled up dimension called irrevelancy?

You silly fool, don't you know that Cindy will be elected President in '08?

Yeah, I know... just like President Dean. I'm still not used to that.

;^)

I mean C&F!

Hiya Darleen!

Dymphna over on Gates of Vienna recently said Cindy was running for office. Anyone know about that?

You know, since Mommy Sheehan has never gotten a headstone for her son's grave, maybe she can use the Fiskie statuette.

Hi Spiny!

I hope you are happy now Jheka. Your pathetic psychotic won. She is probably honored to have received such a distinguished award that puts her on an even par with Jimmah Carter. I only wish that she could receive the award from Rachel Corrie in Peoria.

{iron fist}

Sleep well. I'm glad I stayed up long enough to see the award to Mommy first thing.

Thank you Charles for hosting the award and to Cox and Forkum for an excellent illustration.

#27 Darleen,

I wonder if there's going to be SoCal meetup this year?

"I'd like to thank the inspirational NBS photographers and the wonderful CBS producers for propelling me the this staggering honor. I coudn't have done it without Les Moonves, Chris Mathews, George Clooney, and last but not least, ABC,CNN and MSNBC. I hate Bush and so do Trillions of other people all around the Earth. He Lied to MEEEEEE. He LIEEEEED and thousands DIEEEEED.

Thank you all and...

It would be fun to see the old gang..and any new SoCals.

The vote was rigged! Voter machines malfunctioned! Sheehan was illegitimately elected!

If Mother Sheehan were to diminish to less than the Planck Length then she would be forced to coexist with Ted Kennedy's integrity and the result would be the destruction of the universe.

Where's Jimmy to count the votes?

I have to say, I didn't vote for Sheehan (four times), but nevertheless, I think she's a great choice!

#36 BeckoningChasm

Hmm... 2006.

There will probably be an Iranian nuclear situation nexus -- Kofi's year may have come.

Nothing beats the Cox & Forkum picture of Rachael Corrie, though. I swear, I always laugh my ass off when I see it.

Next year's contender:

Barbara Boxer: 4', 11"

Since Sheehan only won a plurality, I ask, no, DEMAND, a runoff.

#28 gymnast:

Happy? I'm ecstatic! I feel like Karl Rove in November '04.

She sure did work for it, though.

Chavez rigged the vote!

Has Cindy She-Man thanked the Universe, which apparently left her in charge and speaks through her or some crap like that?

Thank you Cindy for doing more harm to the Dems than to the Republicans.

Carl, I betcha it's exclusive to LGF!

I know it's kind of off topic, but...

Doesn't google news list stories by popularity? Yet news about Ariel Sharon is ranked 2nd with 3614 related articled but oddly it's listed further down the page. Despite unprecedented global interest in Sharon's health, I guess they think it's a stale story or not worth our eyes. Anyone else know why?

Poor Casey.

As other LGF posters have mentioned, I would just like to say that I honor Casey Sheehan's courageous and patriotic service to the United States of America. He is a hero. I also know that the rest of Sheehan's family are also patriotic Americans. Cindy Sheehan is the exception.

OMG instant classic

Perfect. C&F nails it again!

Congrats Cindy, you worked so hard for it.

I watched some of the Alito hearings tonight after work. Biden ... damn that man can bloviate for an hour and never ask a question. Alito is sure a better man than me, cause I'd have interupted his dim bulb ass with, "Senator, do you actually have a point, or a question to all this?"

Biden is king of the asshats.

Biden is king of the asshats

#54 Carl in Jerusalem
Can we get a picture of the trophy being presented to Mother Moonbat, maybe somewhere in Texas? Zombie? Can it be done?

Carl -- see my comment #12 above. She lives in Berkeley now. And it was simple enough to put two and two together and figure out where. But seriously, I think she has probably spent 98% of her time on the road ever since she moved to Berkeley.

#73

I heard that Biden bloviated for 12 minutes before asking a question. MOONBAT extraordinaire.

I can't wait until the Cindy-worshippers at DUmb and the Huffingpaint Post get ahold of this. =) Apart from saying that we're all heartless Nazi Zionist neo-con Bushitler-lites cruelly mocking the Absolute Moral Authority^TM of a professionally grieving mother, I bet they'll bust out with that quote from Ghandi: "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win".

Bad news for them: Cindy's "career arc" has been "First they (somewhat grudgingly) sympathised with her, then they attacked her, now they're laughing at her, then they'll rapidly move on to ignoring her". Cindypaloser (sp. intentional), on its way to take Washington by storm, ran out of gas somewhere between Podunk City and Coyote's Armpit, AZ.

To top it off, he interupted Mr. Alito while he was trying to answer the first question, then went on bloviating for another 6 minutes!

Y'know, I wonder how in the world the moonbat Senators expect Alito to say anything "controversial" when they do all the talking? Arrgh!

#82 least

OMG that's hilarious. I needed that, ty, lol.

Watching Alito today made me think that he's a damn judicial machine. Didn't blink an eye.

Biden, on the other hand, fidgeted, stammered and generally rambled about his and his kids' college careers etc. Biden is a moron.

#86 StarsandStripes

Biden would vote for Edward Cushman for SCOTUS.

#39 Spiny Norman

I heard that! Hadn't given it much thought really but my arm could probably be twisted to play party planner again. T'would be nice to get another gang o' SoCal lizards together again. It's been over a year.

Recount! HUGO!

I wish I could be a fly on the wall when Cindy hears about her award. Imagine her looking at the picture, reading the text, scratching her head, pulling a booger out of her nose, eating it, scratching her head again, snapping her straps, rubbing her eyes...

..."Fiskie? What's that? And who is Chavez?"

My son chose to serve, and is now serving in the war zone. If he is killed, I'll be pissed off. I mean I'll be really pissed off ... at the jihadist sons a bitches that killed him. It was his choice and he knew the dangers, and chose to serve anyway.

That is because he was raised with American values and loves freedom. We both know the importance of fighting this fight and how important it is to end the terrorist threat from radical islam (most muslims that really believe).

Cindy Sheehan shames all military families. She is a pariah, and that is truely sad, because her son deserves a much better legacy that her sorry ass.

BTW, much as I love the CS illustration, one thing could have topped it. A copy of the NYT tucked firmly under "Mother" Sheehan's other arm. Tinged yellow for the quality of their "journalism" of course.

#93 Cato the Elder

If Cindy pulled a booger outta her nose, her head would collapse before she could eat it!

Orson, LOL!

You crack me up.

Best to your son.

Maybe if i wish hard enough she'll disappear now... oh wait, that's how she thinks

#99 Darleen

It's true! Much of Alito's answers were right out of a textbook civics class. I'd venture to guess that at least 30% of our Senate has never read the constitution. I'll bet that of those only 15% understood it, and I bet that 40% of them flunked civics.

I could make some extra cash showing them for sure. I have a PHD. (Post Hole Digger).

Pretty impressive voting.

Total votes this year were above 21 grand. The winner(?) garnered 10341 for 48.4%.

To put that in context, last year's winner, Mike al-Moore only conjured up 2525 votes out of 5675 for a total of 44.5%. Kofi Annan, every lib's world government wannabe savior, came in second with 1705 votes for a 30% total.

In 2002 he was narrowly defeated by Cindy Sheehan's template, Rachel Corrie. The winner in 2003 squeaked to a win with 1149 out of 3989 votes for a total of 28.8%. It was a photo finish with tubby who scored 1067 votes for 26.7% total.

And how can we ever forget the introductory year's winner, Jimmuh Carter. In 2002 this terminal idiotarian managed a paltry 746 votes out of 2467 for 30.2% total. Lard Butt was once again second with an incredibly slim meal of 538 votes for 21.8% total.

They should have to all study that concept under the loving guidance of R. Lee Ermy.

Hey, Miguel, good to see you!

Those pictures are great. Nose pickers, harmonica players, teeth grinders.

And am I seeing things, or is Lil Kim of North Korea now almost as wide as he is tall?

But back on subject: These Dems obviously think Alito is more dangerous than Kim, Ahmadinnerjacket or AIDS all rolled into one.

I had in mind doing it somewhere near Bush's ranch while she's sitting outside being bored :-)

And for all of you - please let's pray that no one does a Mama Moonbat Monologue in Leicester Square....

Dan Quayle:

The Ryan Leaf of national politics.

Quayle is still stuck on incoherent.

Good night all. Thanks for the well wishes and prayers for my kid. He's a good kid and needs our support like all of our troops.

Alito will be confirmed. The Dems are like the jihadis running from the sniper. They'll just die tired.

#122 Cato the Elder
These Dems obviously think Alito is more dangerous than Kim, Ahmadinnerjacket or AIDS all rolled into one.

A couple weeks ago, a very close family member of mine vociferously argued that Bush was "infinitely worse" than Kim. Why? Because Kim only affected his one little country with his actions, but Bush is "trying to destroy the entire world."

Luckily, someone turned on a football game or something and I managed to change the subject.

And just last night another very close relative actually told me that Sami al-Arian was "a really nice-seeming guy." I was shocked that this relative even knew who al-Arian was, much less had a positive opinion of him.

That's just the tip of the iceberg. When it comes to moonbat relatives, I don't think anyone can touch me.

Dan Quayle:

Frighteningly, he really was as dumb as he looked.

#122 Cato
Hello there my friend! Yes, they are sooo worried about Alito. Playing harmonica LOL. Ahmadinnerjacket LOL Those were funny hahaha. yesterday Poderfinger said Ahmalittlecrackpot lol. OTOH Kim Jong Il is becoming square I agree. What an L 7! LOL.

#126 Orson
I'll pray for your son too. I'm so thankful to anyone that is putting his or her security at risk to defend my freedom. May God bless them all. And yes, Alito will be confirmed. I see it as a cinch. Just looking at those pics on Drudge gives me even more confidence about it. Good night. :)

#128 Jheka

The good thing about Quayle is that he makes Dubya look like an intellectual by comparison.

I saw a Quayle on a Bush :p

#130 zombie:

Quayle made Kato Kaelin look like an intellectual. The fact that he was VP is simply frightening.

Congratulations Cindy, you earned it. This goes to our Venezuelan friends, I'm sorry to report that it looks like Chavez will be around to be voted for next year. I wish it did not have to be so, I wish he'd just go away and you'd all be better off.

I still throw my support behind the international idiotarian as well as an idiotarian hall-of-fame. The HOF could separate the 1-timers like Sheehan from the pioneers like Jimmah.

Who-Dey! Who-Dey!
Who Dey Think Gonna Beat Dat Cindy?

This year the Fiskie; next year, who knows, maybe charter membership in an Idiotarian Hall of Fame!

Just a reminder, for all those who doubted the depth of her Idiotarianism...

Hahaha, we were on the same wavelength but came to different conclusions. Diversity lives on LGF!

Good Morning Dead Threaders!

Georgetown University is making good use of their share of the $40 million they got from Saudi Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Alsaud. They're holding a terror conference.

In an open email sent to its members in connection with the terror conference, the ISM has called for suicide bombers to blow up at Hadassah Hospital and murder Ariel Sharon. This is real folks. It's a signed email and it even gives Sharon's room number (which I have not seen published anywhere in Israel).

I wanted Chávez to win, but he's no idiotarian actually. He's evil. Now he wants to use Our Lord Jesus Christ for his Communist plans. And that is one of the lowest you can get. Saying that Jesus was a socialist is quite insulting to all Christians. But he's weaving his own spiderweb in which he will get trapped. We'll see his fall in Gibbonian resonances.

I'm SO happy Cindy won. She's so crazy, yet so lovable, sort of like Fez on That's 70s Show

"You like me! You really, really like me!"

Good morning, LGF-ers. OT: A small Norwegian Christian newspaper has come out in support of Jyllands-Posten in Denmark, and is reprinting the Muhammad cartoons:

Magazine publishes offending cartoon

A Norwegian Christian magazine on Tuesday published a set of caricatures deemed blasphemous by Muslims following months of uproar in the Muslim world over a Danish paper’s decision to print the same cartoons. “Just like Jyllands-Posten, I have become sick of the ongoing hidden erosion of the freedom of expression,” Magazinet editor Vebjoern Selbekk wrote. The murder of Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh in 2004 revealed ‘that we are not facing empty threats. We know that the freedom of expression in our part of the world is being threatened by religion that is not afraid of using violence’, he added. The editor said he was not afraid of the prospect of facing the same indignation and even death threats that faced the Danish paper after it published the cartoons. “We have gone astray if we start to give in to fear in this question,” Mr Selbekk said.

Norway magazine courts controversy

Danish Muslims groups have called on authorities to prosecute Jyllands-Posten, but a regional prosecutor said last week he would not file charges. On Tuesday, the prime minister directed his criticism towards the Muslim group, saying "misinformation" about Denmark had appeared in the Arab media after their tour of the Middle East. Kasem Ahmad, a spokesman for the Islamic Faith Community, denied the group had spread false information about Denmark. "The Islamic Faith Community has not said anything wrong," he said. "We did nothing wrong by seeking help abroad and making use of our freedom of speech."

TEHRAN (AFP) -

Iran insisted it would not give up its nuclear program despite being roundly condemned by world leaders over its resumption of nuclear fuel research, risking possible enforcement action by the
United Nations.

It feels good knowing that the United Nations are watching over us.
/what,
me worry?

#145 Fjordman

"We did nothing wrong by seeking help abroad and making use of our freedom of speech."

And the Jillands-Posten did nothing wrong by making use of their freedom of speech. Is Muslim freedom better than Christian freedom? F**k them. My respects for Magazinet, chapó, kudos and ¡bravo! to them. I wish there were more brave people like that.

I couldn't vote for Cindy because I was (and am still) convinced that the woman is seriously mentally ill, but as we all know, Democracy is Arabic for "common folks who get seats". So Cindy, please take your seat - you earned it!

/and get professional help, ASAP, umkay?

Good morning, afternoon, evening *everyone*™

C&F: great job (as always)!

Good morning everyone, the sun's not up yet but the weather guy says we have fog.

#145 Fjordman--great to "see" you here. I can't tell you how much I miss a daily stop to your blog. Thank you very much for waiting until I moved back to America b/f you stopped. You were a voice of sanity in the wilderness when I lived in Europe.

Good morning, dead thread.

Cindy was not my choice, but the people have spoken.

Endless update downloads are sucking up my bandwidth and dominating my life at the moment.

...."i would also like to thank all of the people whos graves I lied on top of. This one's for you, troops!"

Morning, y'all.

Conservative that I am, I feel that Cox and Forkum's best work has always been in black and white (with the notable exception of their "Crescent of Embrace").

Seeing a color Fiskie caricature this morning, I feel a little like the dismayed readers of the Wall Street Journal when color arrived on their front page back on April 9, 2002.

But perhaps the full black and white cartoon would give this year's awardee a substantiality that she doesn't deserve...

(By the way, this is what I'd imagined.)

#152 Mike C.

Mornin' Mike.

When you finally get finished with that new computer of yours, are you going to have any brain cells left to post to us? lol...I know I wouldn't but am wishing you good luck.

In other news, looks like Steven Spielberg won't be getting that BAFTA after all.

The DVD screeners of "Munich" they sent over to Britain were encoded for Region 1 and won't play in the U.K.

(Note also the irony of al-Guardian's sloppy editing of the story, where they reproduce two versions of the last two paragraphs.)

Aw, they fixed it before I hit post!

Nice illustration but she should've had a picture of Zarqawi on the t-shirt.

C&F were too kind to her.

Mornin' youse'all - as Mike C. said, she wasn't my choice but the people have spoken. Sadly one side effect of this poll is that we'll probably hear more and more about this person's making money and having her "fun" over her hero son's death than we might have othwerwise. Oh well, that's what the scroll bar and "Next Thread" are for!
Going back to bed for my prebreakfast nap.
Hope youse'all have a great day!

#145 fjordman

From the second link:

Anders Fogh Rasmussen said he was "stunned" that leaders of the Islamic Faith Community had travelled to Egypt, Syria and Lebanon "to stir up attitudes against Denmark and Danes".

The group's leader, Ahmed Abu Laban, a cleric, has defended the December trip, saying the Muslim community was feeling marginalised in Denmark in its protests against the paper.

So if you're an offended Muslim (redundant, I know), and the Danes ignore your protesting someone's speech, the thing to do is go abroad and foment hate for them. Just go where you know your anti-western message will resonate.

Do we know for sure that Mike al-Moor is not a muslim?

# 155 Arkie Girl

Well, it doesn't actually require a whole lot of brain power beyond the ability to follow instructions. It's just tedious. I still haven't gotten to things like hooking up periphrials, transfering files and folders and offloading the tons of free "extras" that people insist on put on new computers. I mean, Google Desktop ? I don't know what it is, but I know I sure as hell don't need it.

Cindy didn't actually get a majority of the vote, so she doesn't have a mandate to keep being an idiot.

I have another new motherboard coming in today. I'll be rebuilding most of the evening too. I feel your pain.

Hi - a man in a washing machine? Did I miss that on the news? OK I'll do a bit of investigating!

Was he looking for one of those disappearing socks?

Now for all those interested in the Alito hearings - this is an article about how our system is so much different than yours!

All because of your Bill of Rights

Only in America - a fiasco best left in the US

# 169 AI

A country is a 'sovereign.' Because of that, it cannot be hauled into any court, including its own, without its consent.

The US refused to give its consent in advance to international court jurisdiction for 'war crimes' because it rightfully feared that it would be subjected to harassment in the international courts. While Fwance did consent to the international court's consent in cases involving war crimes, it doesn't appear from the article you linked that this case comes under that treaty, and therefore Fwance would have to consent before the court could hear the case.

By the way, there is one country to which none of these rules apply and that, of course, is Israel. When Israel refused to consent to waive its sovereignty to allow the 'International Court of Justice' to hear the case involving its security fence, the court issued an 'advisory' opinion, which is technically not binding and therefore does not require Israel's consent.

January 11, 2006 -- The New York Times lost almost 20 percent of its readers in the five boroughs between 2001 and 2004 as the paper pushed to reinvent itself as a national publication.

To the Venezuelan fans of LGF,

We Chavez voters in America didn't come through for you this year. But I am confident that Hugo the Puko will be back in the running during 2006.

The thing about morons, especially morons in a position of power, is that they can't help themselves concerning continued acts of stupidity.

The only thing that has shut the mouths of any of the three previous winners was a 10 ton front-loader. And since Jimmah Carter is an angel (just ask the left in America), he will continue to lead by example even beyond the grave.

Hugo has to be the front-runner for 2006. If Snitty Sheehan had not come on as strong as she did in mid-season, she may not have won. Remember, Hugo finished stronger than anybody and put up a heck of a rally at the end of 2005. The NY Times is a model of consistent idiocy but I don't believe has the deep bench and depth of stupidity that Hugo does. When Hugo is on, he's tough to beat.

So you guys keep your hopes up. Great showing in 2005! Made me proud to brothers and sisters-in-arms with our South American, clear-thinking friends.

Marion Barry is still snorting coke. You can't make this stuff up!

Hi - well I never!

Only one Aussie paper ran with this story but when I googled it was in umpteen US publications and TV news and India and South Africa!

Probably because we get stuck in washing machines so often it's old news :-)

The one Aussie paper the Courier mail in Brisbane ( as it happened in Queensland)

He is a laughing stock. He turned DC into a Third World Country full of corruption, which is why Congress started a Board to oversee it's Government. DC just started recovering a few years ago. The idiots keep voting him into office. Yes, he's a Council Member with a staff. He's still taking advantage.

Amazing.

In the words of that great sage Yogi Berra, Cindy Sheehan has said "I'd like to thank all those people who made this day necessary."

#200 Sarah D. Barry quotes as Mayor of D.C. Good for a laugh this morning, but more of a sad comment on the voters of Barry's Ward.

I can see where this award will push her over the top, & women all over the country will be running to the beauty shop to get 'the Cindy', much like Dorothy Hamill inspired an earlier generation

Now Cindy Sheehan should parlay her Fiskie into getting a sun blocker commercial deal - maybe on the Super Bowl.

Hello from Sydney and it's now tomorrow here

Good Morning All!

39 degrees and raining, not bad for a January day in Chicago!

Powderfinger,

Clearly it's a lost cause when Pravda West is mocking you.

I can't stand to even look at these people, and watched only snippets on the news last night. I can't even listen to Chucky Schumer without fear of tossing dinner. He is so repulsive.

A moonbat relative of my wife met him at some event and had a picture taken with him. Thought he was cute sending it to me.

I drew devil horns on him and sent it back with a copy of my Bush Christmas card.

Freeze at my house. I went outside early this morning to bring in my avocado plant. Already a touch of frost on the leaves. This time next winter I expect the avocado will be in the ground, but while I have lost young avocadoes to freezes, mi suegra's avocado tree survived 10 years of the worst Southeast Texas winters had to bring, until it was uprooted during Hurricane Rita. It had reached about 8 meters in height, and produced fruit before its untimely demise.

BTW, automated station reporting mist. There is no mist. I suspect it has confused frost on the instrument for mist.

New 6Z run of NAM continues to show Mega-Monster storm that I thought earlier would cut through Great Lakes,, bringing freakish warmth, heavy rain and thunderstorms, instead passing East of the coast.

This means less rain, and a possible change to snow even in the Big Cities, although any serious snow is inland.

Longer range GFS similar, although a little more optimistic about rain for S.E. Texas. But check out the Siberian air that invades the Northeast on gusty winds.

Note also new system brings California rain, and holds promise of much needed rain for North Texas and Oklahoma!

Unfortunately most of them are actually false.

With the exception of two or three of the quotes, I watched him say the others on local news videos!

Hi there - and that horrible woman is just the pits! Sometimes she surfaces on late night ABC (our lefty channel) on Lateline - if I was really rich and could afford multiple TV's I would kick the screen in - she is infuriating - of course my lefty lawyer partner thinks she's just the ants pants

Don't tell me you have read her wonderful work?

Grrrr

Good Morning All.

Woo hoo! Mazal Tov Cindy, mazal tov! As a tool of the radical left, a detractor of everything that is good and just in the world, as a person who gives aid and comfort to the enemies of the West, as a person who dishonours the memory of your slain son, you truly deserve this. Congratulations! Now here is hoping the world will soon be rid of your execrable presence. Let this caricature be the last testament to and memory of your idiocy.

ChicagoBlue,

Nice and balmy here in the northeast. Supposed to hit 60 by Friday. Woo-hoo, break out the shorts!

I do a great deal of driving, and do not miss the snow. I can live with it on weekends, but prefer my weekdays dry, or at least snow-free.

Oh behalf of Jews everywhere, I would like to thank Cindy for hating us. Way to go Peace Mom.

Mama Moonbat might last through the upcoming election cycle, then ::POOF::

Sorry, man. I used to feel the same way. But what moonbat, from Pete Seeger onward, has *ever* faded away? Much as they wrongfully believe that the Communist state will "gracefully wither away", we can only fool ourselves by thinking that any established pinko will ever fade to black. From Joan Baez to Jimmah Carter, John Lennon to Tookie Williams, if we con't roll them the first time, they're here to stay. We can't even dissipate the technicolor hazy remains of Jerry Garcia, still wafting about the Bay (if the fire has even gone out yet).

She's here for good. You will never be able to open a newspaper without risking a Sheehorror.

Good Morning Troop !

Here's a terrific article by Mark Steyn about climate change, global warming - and the religion of Kyoto

Climate Change Myth

Now that Mama Ass is the landslide winner of this poll, Michelle Malkin has another poll up where you can vote for the biggest windbag on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Right now, the runaway winner is the waterlogged owner of Splash, the Portuguese Water Dog, The Swimmer himself.

/gotta run, have class this morning.

Anybody hear the guy Medved had on. Reza something, Comparitive Religion Professor at Iowa University, had written a book, called "Nop God but God", seemed to suggest peaceful alternatives for Islamic development.

Sounded good, and I think he had Medved hooked, but the way he told callers who said things that the Prophet (BPUH) was a warrior, violent, etc., etc., he'd say they didn't know Islam. Somebody mentioned the ahadith, and he said the ahadith was not the word of Allah, came dozens of years after Mo died, written by people with agendas, and I started to think: taqqiya master.

Because I recall there is a group of Muslims in Pakistan who are severely persecuted because they accept only the Koran, not the hadith.

Medved was always polite, and never (while I was listening, anyway) asked the tough questions. I know it is appealing to believe that Islam is a peaceful religion that has been hijacked by the crazies, except it would appear Big Mo was the original carzy.

#204 JammieWearingFool

linked to the Russell Tice story

well, i heard on the news this morning while driving into h#ll, er, I mean "work" that he was fired last year due to "psychological concerns"

Face it...virtually the entire Democratic Senate and their appointed leaders are sick. And I do mean sicko. Schumer and his dumber brother Biden - they have no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

Ted Kennedy, kills a woman then tries to make a run for the Presidency in 1980 and almost gets there; John Kerry, literally traitorous to his country and gets over 50MM votes in his run for the White House in 2004; Bill Clinton commits adultery in the Oval Office with a woman half his age, is possibly a rapist, and 60% of the country defends him; Bernie Sanders is an admitted Socialist and will probably win a seat in the Senate in 2006; Hillary Clinton is the best the Dims have to offer and she's radioactive to anyone in the same room - everybody that gets close gets hurt.

See a pattern? These people are in power because half of the country is in bed with them - as lost as lost can be.

When I saw that orgy that was supposed to be a tribute to Paul Wellstone after he was killed a few years ago, I knew that not only had the powers of the Dimocratic totally lost it, but half our country with them.

We are in serious trouble...and cowards in the Republican party are doing little to rectify it. It's a wonder Bush can get anything done at all.

Good Morning Lizards. It's 35F and raining in Bloomington this morning.

Well, two people won much deserved election to an award yesterday, Mama Moonbat for her Fiskie and Bruce Sutter for the Baseball Hall of Fame. And just as Sutter's splitter baffled hitters for years in the majors, Mama Moonbats "logic" of blaming the POTUS personally for her son's death in action serving as a volunteer is similarly baffling to those with functioning brains. I want to thank Mama Moonbat for doing so much to destroy the left is such a short time. It looks like they have created a bit of a Frankenstien, and the media can't help themselves but keep putting her out there.

I watched some of the Alito questioning yesterday and I see where Teddy the Swimmer and Joe Biden are putting in strong efforts to earn the next Fiskie. If a student of mine was that indisciplined in thought structure and so berefit of facts I would have to tell them to either get their act together or drop my class.

C&F has some great illustrations, especially the ones concerning the iraqis. If only the every day iraqis could see it in their press.

Kirly,

He claims that was retribution.

Whatever. He's a POS traitor and deserves no mercy.

No doubt he'll be a newly sainted member of the left.

#243 JammieWearingFool:

Thanks for the link, because while I was there I went to Human Events and found this article. It's a story about Alito and what the Internet did to the Democrat's star witness against him. Not to be missed:

[Link: www.latimes.com...]

"IN 21ST CENTURY Washington, fame doesn't last for 15 minutes anymore. It lasts for a single news cycle. There is the big press release. The next morning the major newspapers spell your name right. But by noon the Drudge Report runs a shotgun blast of half-truths and innuendoes, and by evening pundits are sifting through your entrails on CNN and Fox. Can citizen participation in government survive the advent of the Internet search engine?

"Late last Thursday, Patrick Leahy, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, issued a list of witnesses to testify for the Democrats on Samuel A. Alito Jr.'s nomination to the Supreme Court. I was on that list — a mere writer with a bachelor's degree — among all the distinguished household names. But by the end of the day Friday, I wasn't on the list anymore.

"I had been scheduled to testify as an expert on an organization called Concerned Alumni of Princeton. In 1985, on an application for a promotion in the Reagan Justice Department, Alito had touted his membership in CAP, which had opposed coeducation at Princeton and asked for strict quotas limiting the numbers of women and minorities at the university. Alito's membership in the group thus could shed light on his respect for civil rights.

"So how to put what happened to me...?" [Read it all!]

#235 Mike C. - I'm running Window XP and the Geek Squad guy had to disable the Norton Internet Security to get either Maxthon (my Browser of choice) or IE to run. Windows has a built in firewall and Norton adds another on top of that. Maybe you shuld try disabling Norton and see if the problem persists.

When I saw that orgy that was supposed to be a tribute to Paul Wellstone after he was killed a few years ago

When I saw that I thought to myself that Democrats just can't help themselves. It's a major turn off.

Don't worry- they find a way to pull a Wellstone again, and turn off more voters.

On my way to work I was behind the Honda Mini Van from Hell with the ubiquitous variety of anti-Bush sickers. Saw one I had never seen before:

no doubt. but, i can't see how it's retribution when his security clearance was revoked (due to the psychological concerns) and you can't hold that job without it.

loppyd- well, Bill had Hillary to keep him company at night, George has the still lovely Laura Bush (you can tell 25 years ago she was a major league hottie).

Dick Morris, aka "He who sucks on whores' toes and tells Clinton Administration secrets" suggested when the Lewinsky story first broke that Bill cheated because Hillary wasn't "in to men", if you know what I mean.

You know, in any big White house event, Hill wasn't checking out General Powell or the Secret Service Men or the Marine Guard, she was admiring beauties like Janet Reno, Donna Shalala and Madelien Albright, if you catch my drift.

To quote Reaganite, she probably enjoyed "soft shell tuna tacos".

I haven't trusted Norton Anything since FAT16 was done away with. Peter Norton used to have the inside track on MS products when they were simple enough to be comprehended by one person. After FAT32, Norton gained a reputation for thrashing many of those drives, using the very utilities which were supposed to preserve the data! My gross hunch is that Norton continued to write the sort of applications which only MS could write after a certain level of complexity was reached. If you weren't a part of developing the OS for years, you couldn't be trusted with mucking in its guts. And even if you were (I'm talking to YOU, "Micro-Soft"!), that was no guarantee.

Here's my own bullet-proof(tm) solution: Use ad-aware to get rid of the crud which slows down your connection. Use a cheap NAT router to prevent most simple attacks which could do much worse. Get your critical updates regularly from the Beast of Redmond (which can be found at [Link: www.microsoft.com)....] And use Windows XP SP2 if you can, otherwise Windows98 SE. No WindowsMe, and no Windows 2000. Period. 98SE was the most stable version of Windows since 3.11 (sigh), and was not surpassed (in the WIndows world) until XP. And SP2 fixed XP enough that you can basically trust it. Yeah, yeah, MS no longer supports Win98SE, but a resourceful fellow can always find the files he needs...

Here's my own bullet-proof(tm) solution: Buy yourself an OLD Macintosh. Nothing wrong with the new ones (yum!), but the old ones are cheap, and you are already accustomed to, uh, stately computing. Also, they are 100% immune to any virus you will ever encounter. Or I'll refund your advice fee.

Here's my own bullet-proof(tm) solution: Use Linux. This is not for the faint of heart, but if you find it rewarding to tough it out with your paleocomputing lifestyle, you will enjoy Linux. An added benefit is that with the flexibility of Linux, you can make your same old computer run MUCH FASTER than with windows, because you can offload a bunch of crud you will never use. (Who needs NetMessenger checking for messages every few seconds)?

Here's my own bullet-proof(tm) solution: Throw a few Cisco 2501s back-to-back and run all of your inbound packets through an ACL with... Oh never mind. Any one of these solutions will suffice!

And if I'm telling you something you already know quite well, feel free to wad this up into a ball and bat it back at me. I won't mind.

I just read that article you linked. Funny how the author admits he made a mistake in the past -- but it shouldn't prevent him from pointing the finger at someone for their past affiliations.

Sounds like he wanted to get somebody into the same hot water he got himself into, and is frustrated at being denied the chance.

What is it with Liberals and their one-way trashing of people?

Speaking of trash -- It's time to endure all the self-adulation known as the Oscars again. I wish some network would come up with some kind of creative counter-programming. Or maybe that group that sponsors "Turn off the TV Week" could reschedule it for that week.

I can just see them congratulating each other for their "groundbreaking.....historical masterpiece"
Buttcrack Mountin'. The Academy will give Heath Ledger the Oscar just to make a point. Kind of like when Elizabeth Taylor won the Oscar because she almost died of pneumonia. It couldn't have been for her acting.
