Congress Approval nearly 1/3 that of Bush

11% for Congress versus 29% for Bush. Bush doesn't care (really he never has) about his approval ratings and since he's not running again it makes no difference. Members of Congress on the other hand have an election in a year.

Way to go Democrats! Maybe you'll get under 10% next go around.

Bush makes Jihadis hate Sweden

Here's an interesting story.

Apparently, Al-Qaeda in Iraq (not affiliated with Al-Qaeda "Worldwide" according to Democrats) is threatening... a Swedish cartoonist!

Somebody needs to tell these Iraqi Al-Qaeda types that Harry Reid, Nancy Peolsi, et al have declared them a local threat created by the United States, rather than part of a global jihad against Western Civilization.

I Gotta Love This

Right now, Fred's my guy, but Rudy is making me like him more and more.

Global Warming increases Polar Ice Cap

That's sure weird... You'd think there'd be less ice if it were getting hotter. I guess you have you be smart like Al Gore* to understand apparent contridictions like this.

* "Gore's undergraduate transcript from Harvard is riddled with C's, including a C-minus in introductory economics, a D in one science course, and a C-plus in another. "In his sophomore year at Harvard," the Post reported, "Gore's grades were lower than any semester recorded on Bush's transcript from Yale." Moreover, Gore's graduate school record - consistently glossed over by the press - is nothing short of shameful. In 1971, Gore enrolled in Vanderbilt Divinity School where, according to Bill Turque, author of "Inventing Al Gore," he received F's in five of the eight classes he took over the course of three semesters. Not surprisingly, Gore did not receive a degree from the divinity school. Nor did Gore graduate from Vanderbilt Law School, where he enrolled for a brief time and received his fair share of C's. (Bush went on to earn an MBA from Harvard)."

Is this a Cover-up or What?

I don't understand why this had not made any news...

Just a Muslim wearing para-military clothes at night with a loaded AK-47.

What? I'm sure he was just trying to protect himself from the Jews.

The Sun makes the Earth hotter?!?

More than 300 of the scientists found evidence that 1) a natural moderate 1,500-year climate cycle has produced more than a dozen global warmings similar to ours since the last Ice Age and/or that 2) our Modern Warming is linked strongly to variations in the sun's irradiance.

How to Destroy America

Liberals seem intent on destroying America. New York is doing it by using federal as well as municipal tax-dollars to open, operate, and secure an Islamic Madrassa in Brooklyn cleverly disguised as a public school.

This is not what I would classify as good news. Way to go New York.

Ban Guns: Double you Crime Rate

Despite a ban on handguns introduced in 1997 after 16 children and their teacher were shot dead in the Dunblane massacre the previous year, their use in crimes has almost doubled to reach 4,671 in 2005-06. Official figures show that although Britain has some of the toughest anti-gun laws in the world, firearm use in crime has risen steadily.

Imagine that! A disarmed public faces increased gun crime. Who could have predicted that?

Don't Spit: Reduce "Global Warming"

A major new scientific study concludes the impact of carbon dioxide emissions on worldwide temperatures is largely irrelevant, prompting one veteran meteorologist to quip, "You can go outside and spit and have the same effect as doubling carbon dioxide."

Strange, but I seemed to have missed the New York Times' take on this study...

All the News that's fit to Fake

Randall Hoven of the American Thinker does a good job of putting it all together. He lists over 60 incidents of "Journalists" (and others) fabricating or plagiarizing stories.

Who is it that's killing Muslims?

Try this:

In Somalia’s long-running civil war, at least 550,000 Muslims have perished. Just one 1988 aerial bombardment ordered by dictator Siad Barre flattened Somaliland’s regional capital, Hargeisa, and slaughtered 50,000.

or this:

In Iraq, the 1980-88 war with Iran produced more than 1.5 million Muslim deaths. Saddam’s endless domestic purges added another million, mostly Shia and Kurd deaths. The current Sunni-Shia confrontation is estimated to have caused another 100,000 deaths to date.

Must be the Jews...

How Obama "Supports the Troops"

"We've got to get the job done there," Obama said of Afghanistan. "And that requires us to have enough troops so that we're not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous problems there."

Brilliant! That's exactly what we're doing in Afghanistan: "just air-raiding villages and killing civilians". He'll be a perfect Commander-in-Chief.

How About Now?

A man accused of causing a fiery wreck that killed a family of three on the East Freeway is in the country illegally, authorities said.

That's just great.

Can We Close the Border Now?

Just another illegal alien charged with murder and the raping of a 5 year old. Yawn.

Who you callin' naive?

Barak Obama, Democrat Presidential contender recently stated that he'd be willing to attack into Pakistan if there were high value targets that Pakistan refused to take out. Considering Pakistan is an ally, I'm not sure threatening them with invasion / bombing would be considered good international relations. Pakistan doesn't seem to like the idea. These guys sure don't.

Way to go, Barak. Why don't you "flush a Koran down the toilet" while you're at it.

A turning point for Iraq?

This is tremendous news!

Iraq completed one of sport's great fairytales by beating Saudi Arabia 1-0 in the Asian Cup final on Sunday to provide a rare moment for celebration in their war-torn homeland.

It seems events like these should be bigger news

— San Diego, July 7. A U.S. person — either a citizen or a foreigner legally here — checked baggage containing two ice packs covered in duct tape. The ice packs had clay inside them rather than the normal blue gel.

— Milwaukee, June 4. A U.S. person's carryon baggage contained wire coil wrapped around a possible initiator, an electrical switch, batteries, three tubes and two blocks of cheese. The bulletin said block cheese has a consistency similar to some explosives.

— Houston, Nov. 8, 2006. A U.S. person's checked baggage contained a plastic bag with a 9-volt battery, wires, a block of brown clay-like minerals and pipes.

— Baltimore, Sept. 16, 2006. A couple's checked baggage contained a plastic bag with a block of processed cheese taped to another plastic bag holding a cellular phone charger.

22% worse than ever ?!

Hmmm. 14% is an all time low for confidence in Congress. The previous low was 18% which occurred with Democrats under Clinton, Democrats before Clinton and now its the Democrats under Bush.

I'm sensing a pattern here...
