And There was Much Rejoicing

Rosie O’ Donnell, a public figure loved by all (liberals), announced today she will retire from her position as host on ABC’s The View, a show where women sit around a table, drink coffee, and talk about housework, er, politics. While she claimed on the air that it was a simple contract dispute, Fox News reports it had to do with the lack of support she received from Barbara Walters during Rosie’s dispute with Donald Trump last year. We will only miss her for the great volume of liberal kookery she gave us to laugh at.

Don’t Shake Sheryl’s Hand

The bedroom, the boardroom, the classroom: the government’s reach protrudes into even the most intimate areas of our lives. The one safe haven we have is the bathroom: grab a copy of PC Gamer, Popular Mechanics (or the wife’s Good Housekeeping if nothing else is available); drop ‘em, and relax as nature does its work. No government regulations involved. Until now. If Sheryl Crow gets her way, we will be limited to the amount of paper tissue we may use in “resolving” our trip to the bathroom. “One square” would be a sufficient amount per visit, according to her. Of course, “on those pesky occasions,” Uncle Sam would graciously allow us to use more. All i want to know is what unfortunate officer has to enforce this law: “Johnson, you’re on bathroom duty today.”

Vermont Loves CoCoa Puffs

The state of Vermont has officially gone cuckoo. The state passed a measure today that demands the impeachment of President Bush, an act whose authors seem to have completely forgotten the fact that states can’t impeach presidents. In other news, the Supreme Court has declared war on the nation of Rwanda.

Video Game Sales Clearly Aren’t White Men.

Video game sales last month made like a frog and jumped up 33% from last year’s numbers. Both hardware and software titles (like Sony’s God of War II and Activision’s Guitar Hero series) saw gross sales leap dozens of percentage points above the year-ago totals for the month of March. Anita Fraizer, a sales analyst, attributes the nearly doubled hardware sales to the Nintendo Wii, which she reports has found a market among the once-unreachable “soccer moms.” Hit the link for the full article.

Evil Person Commits Evil Act

I refrained from posting on this yesterday, as a means to ensure my thoughts would be rational and un-driven by emotion or other heat-of-the-moment impulses. Yet now, as the gunsmoke settles, I am able to think more rationally. Rather than politicize this attack to push some idealogical agenda, I would simply like to extend my condolences and sympathies to the grieving families, friends, and surrounding scholastic community in the midst of this awful event. I would like to remind them that it wasn’t their fault in any way, that a totally depraved and evil person committed a brutal, cruel, hateful, selfish act against that campus, and that he did so because he chose to. Do not let yourselves believe the lie that you are to blame, for letting him get the guns, not sitting with him at lunch, or being too rich or too white or any other reason. He is hellishly evil. He stands before God’s judgment throne now, and faces eternal wrath. Our righteous, holy God will carry out justice upon him. My prayers go with you.

In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith–more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire–may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Land of the Free and the Home of….European Political Ideology?

Maybe I am just an extremely patriotic person who can’t stand being told what to do, or maybe European newspapers should not try to tell America how to run itself. I am appalled and outraged by the number of articles in European newspapers that blame America’s lack of gun control for this horrendous tragedy and their apparent callousness towards the suffering and grief of millions of people across this country. The dust hasn’t even settled and already Europe knows what is best for America and how it should be run. It doesn’t matter to Europeans whether or not firearms are so normal to most Americans that many see them as tools and toys versus weapons. Some papers even went as far as to blame Charlton Heston, indirectly of course, for these shootings. The greatest outrage about this whole incident is that this is not new. European elitists still think that they rule the world and that they know best on how to run a country. They call our interpretation of our own Constitution backwards and say that it is outdated. Who are they to tell us how to interpret the most supreme document in the land. When the Constitution was being written many of our critics were still living in the delusion that all men are not created equal, and that a certain blood line was better than yours. Yes America has had its faults, I will not deny that, but it has made us stronger and more committed to the cause of freedom than ever before. Our backwards laws? How dare they assume such arrogance as to tell us that we are backward and idiotic because we do not measure up to their standards. There are enough problems in Europe for them to deal with, such as the growing Antisemitism that is found in “enlightened” Europe. I can hardly express my thoughts in this blog as I am so outraged that America once again is assailed for honoring the law and time tested rights that millions of Americans fully embrace and our ancestors did embrace to free us from tyranny so long ago. Instead of telling America what it should have done and what it should do, they should be expressing their sympathies to the victims of this tragedy and show their support by grieving with us instead of lecturing us on our “faults.”

Stupid Europeans….

Democratic Fiscal Responsibility

Once again we see an example of the wonderful responsibility that is exercised by our Democratic friends in Congress. As Spring Break started many members of Congress, the vast majority of which were Democratic, embarked on a number of official visits by delegations from Congress. This sounds like it could be pretty legit and even beneficial considering they were examining how different areas would effect national security with travel, the catch is that they are going to the most popular Caribbean vacation sites with American taxpayers picking up the tab. There is a saying that I love that refers to the two parties in Washington. “Businessmen will take your money up front and you know they do, but politicians take it from you under the guise of taxes. I trust Republicans because they steal out in the open, but Democrats steal from you and try to make it legitimate.” Does it make it right for Republicans to do so? Of course not, and I am just as outraged by the influence of PACs in Washington as any other decent American. But the Democrats visiting popular tourist sites across Europe and the Caribbean on taxpayer’s wallets is completely unacceptable. Speaker Pelosi tried to say that she is being non-partisan in that she tried to include Republicans in this as well, but for some reason the vast majority, I only know of three that accepted, did not care to join them. Well Mr. Pelosi I think that maybe one reason they felt that they shouldn’t go was I don’t know the $1,100.00 a night 5-Star Hotel stays that Congressmen had to have because of the importance of these delegations. Congressional spokesmen are quoted as saying, “they went from 7 AM to 10 PM, there was no down time,” well than I feel bad for all the wives and husbands who were brought along, they obviously had to entertain themselves while these Congressmen worked so diligently to better America. Read the article and make up your own minds but as for me I personally hate using the government for personal betterment as it is a position of service to your fellow citizens and that is not to be taken lightly. Oh and by the way these “public officials” cost the military about $10,000.00 and HOUR just to fly them all over the place from destination to destination. Thanks for our balanced budget Speaker Pelosi.

Players of Weird Sport Cleared of all Charges

By now, most have heard the fantastic news of the Duke University lacrosse players’ having been cleared of all charges related to the alleged sexual assault, rape, and kidnapping of a black stripper last year. These young men, who were falsely accused of several serious crimes, then targeted for conviction and incarceration by the presiding DA, have finally closed a very dark chapter in their lives: a setback that they seem to have overcome with flying colors. Of course, while the Rutgers basketball team received an apology (and rightly so), don’t hold your breath for the people of Durham, DA Nifong, or the accuser to beg for forgiveness. Unless you like suffocating.
