Last week was
'All
Obama, All The Time' as the media reported endlessly on the 'historic' trip
Obama made to Iraq and Europe. Before jetting off, however,
he removed the American flag from his campaign jet. For
more on his 'historic' visit, just click on any TV, any channel, anywhere in the
world.
GOOD NEWS:
In yet another sign of progress, 62 tribes and 68 sheikhs have organized
four private trucking companies to form the Iraqi Transportation
Network. It appears the tribes in Iraq are starting to work together better than
our very own congress. Now that insurgent attacks and sectarian bloodshed have ebbed,
Iraq's government (thank-you, USA) is
beginning to promote tourism. Want to sign up for an Iraq
tour? At the very least, it will enhance your resume.
The good news is the
Arctic may hold 90 billion barrels of oil, enough to supply
US demand for oil for 12 years. The bad news is, the Democrats refuse to even allow
a vote on tapping these resources.
MEDIA:
The New York Times
refused to publish McCain's direct rebuttal to Obama's 'My
Plan For Iraq' because it did not 'mirror' Obama's. The obvious bias of the Gray
Lady was rewarded when their
2nd quarter profit dropped a whopping 82%.
The Times response was typically liberal - they raised the price of their newspaper
.25 to $1.50 and
proceeded to publish an article lamenting that there have
been
"4,000 U.S. Combat Deaths and Just A Handful of Images." Time to stick
a fork into this once great paper - they're almost done.
A great video clip entitled Obama Love was released by the McCain campaign showing the
continuing media love affair with Obama. "A gift from the world to us." Best watched
on an empty stomach.
Again confirming the obvious, an
analysis of federal records shows that political donations
made by our 'impartial' journalists favor Democrats by 100 to 1.
GOVERNMENT AT WORK:
With the eyes of the world focused on Obama, our government is quietly working on
several measures that will appropriate ever more money and power to the federal
government. The Senate will soon be debating the
'Global Poverty Act.' If enacted, this act will cost
every man woman and child in the US $2,500 - all in the name of reducing poverty
around the world.
Meanwhile, in 'Kindergarten Cops, Part 2,' Arnold
signed legislation that will make California the first state
to ban trans fats in bakeries and restaurants. Following Arnold's lead, the LA City
Council proposed placing
a one year moratorium on new fast food restaurants and while
they were at it, the council did their bit to save the world by
voting to ban plastic shopping bags from stores. Speaking
of saving the world:
ECO-HYSTERIA:
There's a new
global warming game that shows kids how to calculate their
carbon footprint so they can "find out what age you should die so you don't use
more than your fair share of Earth's resources."
Across the pond, the global warming agenda is becoming increasingly clear as
population control is suggested as a solution to this faux
crisis. Eco-crazies aren't deterred by the increasing number of scientists who challenge
the man-made warming hypothesis, the
most recent convert being a former global warming alarmist,
the guy who created the model to measure Australia's compliance with Kyoto, who
claims there is no evidence that carbon emissions cause global warming.
Penn & Teller have produced a
great video which exposes the socialist roots to environmental
hysteria.
CULTURE:
In a gay nightmare, a lesbian finds she is
consigned to marriage,
for life. Apparently her
state doesn't recognize gay marriage and the state where she was wed limits divorces
to residents.
In a surprise turnaround, actor Danny Glover, who plans an epic film on Haiti's
hero Toussaint-Louverture, said he
slaved to raise the money himself because financiers complained
there were no white heroes. Where's the affirmative action?
S. Dakota Planned Parenthood
closed its doors rather than comply with a new law requiring abortion practitioners
to inform every woman that she is terminating the life of a human being. Singapore
is considering
legalising kidney trading to meet the demand for kidney transplants and
a
new survey warns about the rising rates of HIV among Hispanics.
Nihilism is on the rise as one in three muslim students in the UK say killing for religion is justified. In Costa Rica, animal
abuse is now considered art as an
'artist' is making headlines for publicly starving a dog to death as part
of his 'exhibit'.
A Chinese laborer with only a high school education has made a submarine at home.
ESSENTIAL TRIVIA:
For all the women out there, good news. A new study has found that
male lust is blind. Apparently even the plainest Jane can
get their hormones raging. And for all the men out there, beware - researchers have
also found that a regular diet containing even modest amounts of soy may
reduce your sperm production by 50%.
IDIOT OF THE WEEK:
There's no tie this week. From the ranks of the terminally stupid, a convicted murderer
who was executed last week
chose to use his last words to implore everyone to vote for Obama. You can't
make this stuff up. Poor Obama, another vote lost.
Before I sign off, I include a link the article that swept the net last week.
'He Ventured Forth To Bring Light To The World' by Gerald Baker. One of
the best articles I've ever read. Only trouble is, I couldn't figure out if it was
truth or satire.
Till next week, keep smiling,
Nancy Morgan
