Dr. King on Abortion...Spot on!

“The appalling cruelty to dogs described in the complaint against Michael Vick immediately reminds me of another kind of cruelty that is not only not punished, but is protected by our authorities,”

“I’m talking about the incredible cruelty suffered by babies who are stabbed, have limb torn from limb, or have their skulls crushed in the womb by abortionists. The pain these children endure is undoubtedly excruciating, yet we close our eyes and look the other way in the name of ‘choice.’”

"Yes, of course we should ensure humane treatment of animals, but shouldn’t we also humanely treat humans?”

-Dr. Alveda King, the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Iran Talks Like a Cliché Gangster

It's going to be a "hot" summer in the Middle East, said Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad following a surprise meeting with Hizbullah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah in Damascus on Thursday evening.

These are the words of Iran’s leader, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Obviously this is a Nuke reference and obviously this is a reference to “wiping [Israel] off of the map” as he has promised before.

Iran is nuts and a threat to the Middle East. I do not endorse anything pre-emptive, but I also do not endorse restraint on our part or on Israel’s part when Iran does strike them… and they will. No troops, no planes... just glorious missiles that send video feed back until impact and are launched from land... or from under water.

Obama: Sex Ed to Kindergarteners the “right thing to do”

While it might have been hard to hear Democrat Barack Obama over the sounds of the Shop-Vacs and giggling of doctors, Presidential Candidate and Senator Barack Obama, D-Ill., told Planned Parenthood Tuesday that sex education for kindergarteners, as long as it is "age-appropriate," is "the right thing to do." (source)

So please, define for me what “age appropriate” is in regards to sex education and kindergartners?

My prediction: Statements like these at a forum like Planned Parenthood just locked up Obama’s endorsement from the National Education Association!

Al Sharpton Runs Radio And YOU Allowed it To Happen

So now The “Reverend” Al Sharpton has come out granting permission for someone to hire Radio DJ Don Imus.

NEW YORK (AP) - The Rev. Al Sharpton, who urged the Imus' firing, wouldn't object if the radio personality returned to the airwaves. "He has a right to make a living," he said in a telephone interview Wednesday.

Yes, I said he granted permission. Who the hell is he and why do we need his approval? Because you as the public empowered this racist monster to be the moral authority. Forget about his history and his moral crimes, by not standing up to him and by allowing him to bully the station owners, he was empowered.

If you think that this was just a black “leader” protesting an old guy who made an off color remark, think again. It was a power grab and you let it happen. This race baiting media whore was desperate for relevance and CBS Radio and the publics’ silence gave him just what he wanted.

Of course, Don Imus was fired, the ever dreaded N-Word was ‘buried’ in a symbolic (Yet ineffective) ceremony... All problems are solved now, right? Of course I know [White Guilt] Ragnar would cry “But it is a start… isn’t that something?”

No, it is not. It is like giving Rogaine to a cancer patient while crying that the Doctors and the chemo therapy are oppressing the hair. It is not addressing the realities and the source of the problems in a community they claim to be leaders of.

Education, Education, Education. If those are not the first three words out of mouths of Sharpton, Jackson, or the NAACP then they are failing to lead. Maybe a little less money spent on limos for Sharpton, setting up hack burials and more spent on fighting for education dollars in the inner city, real police protection for law abiding folks in the community and developing business opportunities for people.

This man has no credibility. The other day in NYC a White cop and an Asian ciop walked up to an SUV. Three black men in that SUV rolled down the windows and shot, at point blank range, the two cops, killing one. Where was Sharpton and where was Jackson?

Now am I saying that these guys shot the cops simply because they are black? No (Although they will be heroes in prison, and that is a sad comment on society) but had the cops shot the men in the SUV, is there any doubt that there would be marching in streets against the cops led by the media whore Sharpton?

I would have enormous respect for Sharpton if he would gone on TV or had even just released a statement expressing his condolences to the families and saying that this sort of crime hurts all people and called for a march against violence. But no, we heard nothing.

Go to hell, Al.

Lawyer: “Ladies' Night Unfair” And Why He Can’t I Get a Date

Seems like my good friend Ragnar would like this one. From (the dying) UPI:

NEW YORK, July 13 (UPI) -- A New York lawyer filed a class-action lawsuit against night clubs he says practice gender discrimination with ladies' night promotions.

Attorney Roy Den Hollander claims the clubs, including the Copacabana Nightclub, China Club, A.E.R. Nightclub and Sol, violate the 14th Amendment's guarantee of equal protection under the law by offering discounted or waived admission fees for women during the promotions, the New York Post reported Friday.

Read the rest

On so many levels this guy is a tool. I am sure he is lonely, pathetic, a loser, whiney, opportunistic and a Lawyer… but I repeat myself.

The only question is, will the ACLU take this case up or are they too busy suing Jesus?

Iraq PM Thinks He Can Do Better Without the U.S... Let him.

From the AP

BAGHDAD (AP) -- Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki shrugged off U.S. doubts of his government's military and political progress on Saturday, saying Iraqi forces are capable and American troops can leave "any time they want."

Fine by me. I am no anti-war lemming but if al-Maliki thinks he can do better, let him. I know the moment the US leaves his country will implode, thousands of Iraqis will kill each other but hey, he says he can handle it. Let him.

I would rather sit and watch Iraqis die than Americans. It sounds heartless, I know but the hard truth is one of those two situations seems to be inevitable so if forced to choose, I choose to protect Americans every time.

The Neo-Hippies cry for peace. In their ignorant bliss they think that if the US leaves, everything will be ok… because that is what a bumper sticker said, but that isn’t the case. If you think Iraqis are dying now, wait until the US leaves. Watch the carnage as these savage tribes in this over rated third world country kill each other. Let them. Let them eat their own. Sacrificing US lives is always hard, but to do it for ungrateful savages is too much to stomach. Hey al-Maliki, when the US leaves, why do I think you will be in hiding?

Oh, BTW, I also know that the moment the US leaves, Iran will move in and use Iraq as a launching pad. Smart... Give us an excuse, Tehran.

I Just May Become an Ohio Democrat

From the AP

Toledo, Ohio- An uproar over a golf outing for politicians in which strippers handed out drinks has resulted in the resignation of at least one local Democratic Party official in northwest Ohio, a state party official said Thursday.

Resign? Hell, this guy should be made state party chairman! This guy embodies the word ‘party’!

Now this is the Democrats so in reality, he was not pressured to resign because there were strippers. He was forced out because he did not have male strippers for the ladies as well. Gotta be fair, right?!?!

BREAKING: Gee to Return to Ohio State

Spokesman at Vanderbilt, where Gee currently reigns, confirmed Mr. Gee’s departure for OSU.

House Speaker Jon Husted (R-Kettering), responding to the media reports, said today: “In my book, we’ve just won the NCAA National Championship of college presidents.”

My prediction: Mr. Wolfe of the Columbus Dispatch is touching himself as we speak.

It Gets Worse: More than 500,000 Additional Ohio Taxpayers’ Data Lost

Gov. Ted Strickland said today that it now appears there was an additional 561,000 taxpayers data that was lost in a recent theft of a back-up tape from a state employee.

The new tally is:

-561,126 taxpayers who had an uncashed Ohio personal income tax refund check at some time during the last three years

-8,123 former state employees

-86,968 vendors.

.

State officials are saying they have no reason to believe any of this data has been used for identity theft.

Yes, of course not. The thief just wanted to use the tape to hold a rattling muffler on their car. ugh

ESD Homage: Who Could It Be?

Who likes to look like the Hitler youth giving a ‘heil Hitler’ pose, is too dumb to know how to hang a flag vertically and thinks he is the dungeon master of the blogosphere all the while living in his parent’s basement?

Hmm, Who Could It be? Hmm.

Al Gore Busted with Drugs

No, not that one... his son.

From Reuters
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The 24-year-old son of former Vice President Al Gore was arrested for drug possession on Wednesday after he was stopped for allegedly speeding in his hybrid Toyota Prius, a sheriff's official said.
Al Gore III -- whose father is a leading advocate of policies to fight global warming -- was driving his environmentally friendly car at about 100 miles per hour on a freeway south of Los Angeles when he was pulled over by an Orange County sheriff's deputy at about 2:15 a.m..

I’ll be damned: I never knew a Prius could do 100 mph. I am impressed, Toyota. I did, however laugh out loud upon reading this. What an ass. I wonder who Tipper will blame for this. Maybe Twisted Sister or Sheena Easton or Prince... again. What losers.

Side thought: How much damage to the environment is caused by burning marijuana? Can’t be any more than flying around on a private jet like dear old Dad, right?

The Inconvenient Truth about Jr.

-In 1996, he was suspended from his high school for smoking marijuana.

- In August 2000, he was ticketed for reckless driving by North Carolina police for driving 94 mph.

- In September 2002, military police arrested him on suspicion of drunk driving near a military base in Virginia.

- In 2003, he was charged with marijuana possession in Maryland after police stopped the car he was driving for not having its headlights on.

- In February 2004, he entered a substance abuse program as part of a plea agreement.

Red White and Bust… WCMH NBC4 Blows It

Local NBC affiliate, NBC4 (WCMH) sponsors and broadcasts the Midwest’s largest fireworks display, Red White and Boom.

This year the pre-show was littered with mention again and again about how it will be shown in High Definition (HD). Each WCMH personality crowed about the high tech show this year. Apparently sound, however, is still a challenge.

Although the soundtrack is broadcasted on AC station WNCI 97.9, we chose to listen to the soundtrack and the sounds of the fireworks on WCMH. The opening scene showed the faces of Soldiers, Marines and Sailors who gave their lives in service. As this was on screen we hear the nation anthem... and the opening scene to NBC’s Law and Order.

You guessed it... during the national anthem and while showing dead soldiers, there was audio of a murder being discovered.


It is the 21st century and WCMH can’t figure out how to turn off the New York feed. Amazing and bush league at best. These fireworks may be the best in the Midwest but the production crew at WCMH is the worst. Way to go guys.

BTW, I called WCMH. They woman on the phone said I was “...like the 10th person to call.” And she sounded annoyed. She said they were “were working on it”. Well you have 364 day to figure out your sound board.

Is Congress F-ing Kidding?!?!

From AP
WASHINGTON (AP) - Despite low approval ratings and hard feelings from last year's elections, Democrats and Republicans in the House are reaching out for an approximately $4,400 pay raise that would increase their salaries to almost $170,000.

Can you imagine getting a review at work saying that you are doing a horrible job, that the satisfaction level of your performance was less than 20% and then looking your boss in the eye and saying, "Cool... so can I have a raise?"

People have been fired for less.

Create Your Own South Park (Conservative) Character

This may be the very reason why the internet was started. I found a site where you can design your very own South Park Character here.

As you can see, I made on that I think looks like me (right). If any of my friends go there, try and make one that looks like one of us. Sometimes it is hard to ‘draw’ yourself.

Enjoy!

Ohio State Is Now A Hacky Theme Park

Those of you who are regular readers, all 4 of you, know that I have only recently moved back to Columbus after being gone from Ohio since 1997. Truth be told, most of my time from 1993-1997 was spent in Oxford Ohio while in school, but I retuned almost every summer.

In 1997 I joined the Navy and rarely had the chance to return to the Capital City. My recent homecoming has been a rediscovery of sorts since so much has changed in this area. Almost all of it is for the better: NHL, Arena District, the Short North, businesses, the great housing, the amazing restaurants, etc. However, I discovered today one area that has, in my opinion become a caricature of itself: The Ohio State University Campus area.

When I was younger I used to enjoy all of the stores, bars and shops along High Street. So much of that area was what college is about in that it was free flowing, a little crazy and independent. It was what made OSU the amazing university it was. Now I understand that it was getting “out of hand” down there, but as I drove down High Street for the first time in over a decade I was saddened by what I saw.


Building after building replace with national chains, stores for Alumni and Eddie George’s restaurant. What dawned on me is that the OSU area has nothing to do with the students who actually attend Ohio State. The entire area is for Alumni to relive the days in an area which ironically they watched being replaced and for fans of OSU. No student could afford to eat on a Friday at Edie George’s restaurant. Gone are the cheap pizza joints, dollar beer nights and cheap coffee houses NOT originating in Seattle. The entire area reminded me of Universal Studios Florida. It is not a real studio... it is a just an amusement park with that theme. Campus has become just that... Ohio State World.

College areas should be about the students who actually attend, not for others to visit the pre-packaged, theme park area with over priced restaurants, stores and Scarlet and Gray photo ops for “What I did on my summer vacation” scrap books. Shame on the developers of High Street who are now wealthy but at the cost of taking away campus from those who pay to attend OSU.

No wonder OSU students drive away and take shuttles to leave campus when not in class. Sad.

Does anyone recognize his kid? Do you know him? If so, have him contact Bearing Drift Ohio. I have something of his.

Libertarian Party Continues To Peak My Interest

Today, while enjoying the Powell Festival, I visited the booth for the Libertarian Party of Delaware County. I gladly signed their petition to be recognized by the county board of elections to allow their candidates to run under the party’s name. This is not the first time I have looked in to the Libertarian party.

In recent years I have become dissatisfied with the GOP and of course the Dems are nuts. My good friend Jim over at the original Bearing Drift really says it best as to what is wrong with the party (although he was focusing the GOP in Virginia, it still rings true). Truly I am a libertarian more than a Republican... Maybe I should just give in and switch.

I plan on attending their monthly meeting next week in the City of Delaware. I want to learn more. We’ll see. If anyone has any insight, please share.
