USING FORMER MISS AMERICA TO CATCH ON LINE SEXUAL PREDIATORS

I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THIS. LETS FACE IT IF THESE DERANGED INDIVIDUALS HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT THAT THERE ARE AS MANY, IF NOT MORE, STING OPERATIONS OUT THERE THEN THERE ARE MINORS, THEY DESERVE TO GET CAUGHT AND PERP WALKED IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA. LETS THINK OF IT IN TERMS OF ECONOMICS: ITS A SIMPLE CASE OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND. AND FOR THE POLICE AND THE MEDIA THE DEMAND IS THERE SO WHY NOT SUPPLY IT.

THE DEMOCRATS HAVE VOTED AND GUESS WHAT

THEY PASSED A WAR FUNDING BILL THAT HAS A TIME LINE FOR WITHDRAWAL OF OUR TROOPS ATTACHED TO IT. WHAT A SURPRISE AND HERE IS ANOTHER EVEN GREATER SURPRISE. THE SENATE WILL PASS IT AS WELL AND THE PRESIDENT WILL VETO IT. NEXT.

BUT IN CASE YOU'RE KEEPING SCORE THE DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY IN CONGRESS DOES NOT SET FOREIGN POLICY NOR ARE THEY THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE MILITARY, THE PRESIDENT IS. SO WHAT IS AT STAKE HERE IS A LITTLE THING CALLED THE CONSTITUTION AND THE DEFINED AUTHORITY IT CLEARLY LAID OUT FOR THE THREE BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT. THE DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS NEEDS TO STOP POINTING FINGERS AND LEGISLATING THEIR OWN RULES. REMEMBER MANY OF YOU VOTED TO LET THE PRESIDENT STUMBLE INTO THIS WAR, HE DIDN'T DO IT BY HIMSELF. IF THE CONGRESS REALLY WANT TO GET THE TROOPS HOME THEN PASS A BILL THAT WILL ONLY FUND THEIR TRIP HOME AND NOTHING MORE. IT IS THEIR RIGHT AND AUTHORITY TO DO SO, IF THEY FEEL SO STRONGLY ABOUT IT. WHAT COULD THE DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS LOSE IF THEY DID THAT, THE NEXT ELECTION? OR BETTER YET THE WHITE HOUSE IN 08? IF YOUR CAUSE IS SO STRONG ,LETS FACE IT, YOU WON THE LAST ELECTION BECAUSE OF THIS PRESIDENT'S INCOMPETENCE IN MANGING THE WAR SO WHY NOT CUT THE FUNDING TO ALLOW FOR THE SAFE RETURN OF OUR TROOPS AND FOCUS ON THE REAL ISSUES THAT FACE OUR NATION SUCH AS THE FARM BILL OR MEDICARE FUNDING OR EVEN BETTER SOCIAL SECURITY. YOU DO REMEMBER THAT MANTLE OF DEMOCRATIC DOMESTIC POLICY.

THERE SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING FISHY ABOUT THE DEMOCRATS APPROACH TO GETTING OUR TROOPS OUT OF IRAQ. LOOK AT IT. THEY ARE WILLING TO PAY THE BILL BUT WANT A WITHDRAWAL DATE SENT WITH THE CHECK. IT MAKES NO SENSE, WHAT IF THE FUNDING AND THE SURGE IN TROOPS WORKS WHAT THEN HARRY WHAT THEN NANCY? WHAT THEN HILLARY, BARRACK, JOHN ETC ETC ETC THE LIST GOES ON AND ON AND ON.

JUST A THOUGHT

HERE IS A QUESTION FOR YOU TO PONDER. DO YOU GET THERE FASTER IF YOU SPEED AND BY DOING SO DO YOU SAVE ON FUEL? THIS IS WHAT I THINK, AH, NO. BUT STILL WITH GAS OVER 3 DOLLARS A GALLON FOR UNLEADED REGULAR, PEOPLE FEEL THE URGE TO SPEED. AND DO SO SO THAT THEY CAN GET TO THAT DEAD END JOB THEY LOVE SO MUCH. I HATE THEM AND PURPOSELY DRIVE THE SPEED LIMIT OR LESS TO PISS THEM OFF. THEY ARE IDIOTS OF THE HIGHEST ORDER, MAYBE LOWER THAN A HOUSEWIFE IN HER SUV ARMED WITH HER SCREAMING KID IN THE BACK SEAT WHILE SHE TALKS TO BLANCHE ON HER CELL PHONE ABOUT THE SALE IN THE MALL. THESE PEOPLE PROBABLY VOTED FOR BUSH, TWICE! SORRY I HAD TO LET THAT ONE GO

DAVID HALBERSTAM 1934-2007

THE FIRST EXPOSURE I HAD TO TE WRITING OF JOURNALIST/AUTHOR DAVID HALBERSTAM WAS WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL. I WAS DOING A PAPER ON THE VIETNAM WAR AND THE IMPACT THE PENTAGON PAPERS HAD ON THE ABILITY OF THE GOVERNMENT TO CARRY OUT THE WAR ONCE IT WAS EXPOSED AS A LIE. AS I RESEARCHED I FOUND REPORTS FILED BY NEW YORK TIMES REPORTER DAVID HALBERSTAM. HE HAD REPORTED WHAT DANIEL ELLSBURG HAD BEEN ABLE TO SLIP AWAY FROM THE PENTAGON AND HAND OVER TO THE WASHINGTON POST; SECRET PAPERS AS TO THE TRUTH BEHIND WHY WE WERE SENDING OUR YOUNG TO FIGHT AND DIE IN SOUTH EAST ASIA. DAVID HALBERSTAM'S REPORTS WERE SO ON THE MONEY, SO CONCISE THAT THE NIXON ADMINISTRATION FELT THE NEED TO ADDRESS SPECIFIC SENTENCES HALBERSTAM WROTE IN HIS ARTICLES. LATER I WOULD FIND READING HIS BOOKS ON SPORTS, BASEBALL CLEARLY A LOVE OF HIS,A EXPERIENCE OF PURE JOY AND FOUND THAT HIS ABILITY TO DRAW PARALLELS TO WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN SPORTS TO EVERYTHING ELSE THAT WAS HAPPENING IN THE COUNTRY AS PURE GENIUS ON HIS PART. TO HALBERSTAM SPORTS WAS JUST A MICROCOSM OF OUR SOCIETY BUT ON MANY OCCASIONS IT TOOK OUR MINDS OFF OF OUR SHORTCOMINGS AS A NATION. I AM DEEPLY SADDENED BY THIS TRAGIC NEWS AND KNOW THAT IN A WORLD THAT HAS GONE WILD THE INSIGHT AND REASONING OF DAVID HALBERSTAM WILL BE GREATLY MISSED. REST IN PEACE, NOBLEST OF ALL WRITERS.

OUR ADDICTION TO VIOLENCE

LETS FACE IT, WE AMERICANS LOVE VIOLENCE. WE HAVE AN APPETITE FOR IT THAT HINGES ON NEAR FRENZIED ADDICTION. VIOLENCE IS EVERYWHERE IN OUR SOCIETY ITS IN OUR SPORTS,IN OUR ART, IN OUR ENTERTAINMENT OUTLETS, ITS EVERYWHERE. IF YOU NEED A FIX YOU CAN JUST SIMPLY PUT ON YOUR TELEVISION. IF YOU DON'T WATCH TV TAKE A RIDE TO ANY LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL SPORTING EVENT YOU ARE ALMOST CERTAIN TO SEE SOME SORT OF HOSTILITY EITHER ON THE FIELD OR IN THE STANDS. IF SPORTS IS NOT YOUR VENUE THEN JUST TAKE A DRIVE ON ANY OF YOUR LOCAL HIGHWAYS YOU WILL CERTAINLY SEE SOMETHING THERE. VIOLENCE HAS DEFINED US AS A NATION, HECK IT FOUNDED OUR NATION AND HELPED IN ITS EXPANSION TO THE FAR EAST. THE ONLY WAY VIOLENCE WILL GO AWAY IS IF THE DEMAND FOR IT DOES. AND THAT, MY FRIENDS MEANS GOING COLD TURKEY.

MIKE NIFLONG SAYS HE'S SORRY

COME ON MIKE BE A MAN AND DO THE RIGHT THING AND HOPEFULLY NO ONE WILL FIND OUT JUST HOW MANY PEOPLE IN YOUR JAILS RODE THE SAME TRAIN YOU PUT THE THREE STUDENTS FROM DUKE ON. JUST GO AWAY MIKE!

WHO LOVES YA?

ASK DON IMUS TODAY AND HE WILL TELL YOU. IMUS IS FINDING OUT WHO HIS REAL FRIENDS ARE SINCE HE MADE THOSE DISPARAGING REMARKS ABOUT THE LADIES OF RUTGERS. FORMER CONGRESSMAN HAROLD FORD IS ONE. FORD HAS FORGOTTEN WHAT THE I-MAN HAS DONE FOR HIM, HE ENDORSED HIM IN HIS BID FOR THE SENATE AND IMUS HAD TO ENDURE THREATS FOR DOING SO.

LAST NIGHT I WATCHED NBC NEW PRESIDENT STEVE CAPUS EXPLAIN HIS "DECISION" TO DROP IMUS' SHOW AND I HAD TO LAUGH. CAPUS ACTUALLY WANTS US TO BELIEVE THAT IT WAS THE INTERNAL OUTRAGE THAT MADE HIM MAKE HIS "DECISION" AS WELL AS UPHOLDING THE INTEGRITY OF NBC NEWS. ARE YOU KIDDING? YOUR "DECISION" WAS MONEY AND NOTHING ELSE. AS SOON AS THE SPONSORS STARTED JUMPING SHIP YOU HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO DO WHAT YOU DID. MY PROOF IS YOUR ADMISSION THAT IT WAS NOT JUST THIS STATEMENT BUT THE MANY STATEMENTS THAT IMUS AND HIS SIDEKICKS HAVE UTTERED OVER TIME. WELL THEN WHY NOT HAVE DONE SOMETHING THEN AND MAYBE THIS ALL WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. IMUS DID WHAT HE DID BECAUSE HE WAS MAKING MONEY FOR YOU, YOU SAID SO YOURSELF TO DAVID GREGGORY LAST NIGHT. I BELIEVE THAT IMUS SHOULD BE PUNISHED AS IMUS HAS DONE TO SID WHEN HE PUT HIS FOOT INTO HIS MOUTH. BUT HE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN PUT OUT TO PASTURE LIKE THAT.

A Stretched and tired army

What a busy day it has been. Defense Secretary, Robert Gates, has stated a major change of policy in which the military deploys it troops in the "war on terror". They will now have to serve fifteen months and have only twelve at home. If this is not an indication of a stretched to the limits army then i don't know what is. Just wait after a policy shift like this will come the well we might need a draft again. I know one thing, if my son needs to fight for his country it had better be a result of a direct threat to these shores and not a threat to the passage of oil from the Persian Gulf. All of this mess could have been avoided if only the President, who has shown that he can always be counted on to make bad decisions,stayed away from Iraq. War is a costly and certainly a very risky venture, any time you offer lives up as an extension of policy things can get a little muddy. And in this case they have. The President has failed to execute a plan that would have addressed the aftermath of our great military victory and has thus relied upon the advise of advisers who have failed him constantly and who have had no if any foresight in dealing with this mistake. Just listen to the statements of some of the retired generals one of which stated that those people in the White House don't know where they want to go over there. Once again the real war the one the President would have had no problem rallying Americans around was in Afghanistan, which now, thanks to the strain of Iraq, seems to be rearing it ugly head again. The President's mess has accomplished something though, it has allowed the congress to once again be taken control of by the Democrats and to that I tip my hat to him. The President has sated his displeasure at Speaker's trip to the middle east and her visit with the Syrian President , well nothing else has worked and everyday your policy is getting more and more of our young men and women killed so why not talk, wasn't it the Iraq study group that came out and said that dialog is the key to middle east peace not silence. Mr. President I never thought I would ever have to say this but I can't wait for your last day in office and on that January day when you hand over a broken country and world to a democrat I will again smile. Your two terms has only proven that our system of selection can fail us in choosing the right person for the job. And that it has only shown that the election of the President is not always the right man or woman but the most popular, sort of like American Idol is not about the best singer but the best looking as well. Wake up America they are once again leading us into that valley of death.

Duke Rape Case: ALL LIES

The Attorney General of North Carolina has just announced that the three former Duke Lacrosse players that have been accused of raping an exotic dancer just over a year ago have been found by his office to be INNOCENT of all charges. That my friends is a very huge admission by the state attorney. Anyone with a knowledge of law knows that prosecutors never admit they are wrong and certainly never say that the accused are innocent of all charges. They usually just say that there was never enough evidence to get a conviction and thats for good reason, they're all elected officials and no elected official likes to lose votes. Mike Nifong abused his responsibility not only to those who voted for him but to the justice system that has charged him with that responsibility and should be disbarred or simply should resign (but he won't). As for the woman who accused these players, she is simply a lier that has gotten away with destroying the lives of all involved in this case as well as, more importantly, brought a creditability cloud over any future legitimate rape accusations. This case was a travesty from the get go and it has cost a coach his job, three students their right to play and attend classes at that University until being proven guilty and parents money that was spent to defend their son's freedoms. Money that they luckily had to spend and hopefully will get back in upcoming law litigation against the state and Nifong. And as for the University, they showed their true colors and their belief in the justice system's creed that all accused are innocent until proven guilty. For that all future Duke students should keep at the front of their minds! But the real question is: How many are there who are in jail serving sentences for crimes that they might not have committed? The answer: Is that the North Carolina State attorney should now review all cases that Nifong proscuted but all cases with in the state. And the tax payers of that state should pay for any miscarriage of justice. God Bless these players and their families and God Bless their futures!

Imus said it now Reverend Jackson and Sharpton get over it......

....and move on already. You have had your say so move on. March on to the record companies that record rap "artist" whose "music" depict violence toward African-American women and the Hollywood studios that depict African-Americans as violent criminals whose only contributions to society is to deal drugs and keep barred cinder block rooms occupied. To those who have appointed themselves speech police, the only crime that Imus committed was that of poor judgment. The accent of Imus' show from a small studio in Queens to the studios of MSNBC has suggested a level seriousness of his show similar to that of Hardball or Meet the Press. IT IS NOT! The suspension of Imus is correct two weeks is more then enough. Let us not forget that the real issue at hand is the major networks inability to hire an African-American as an anchor or a host of a major news show that was really eating at Reverend Jackson as he made his case against Imus on the Today show. So thank you Don for giving the Reverend a FREE opportunity to point out this oversight by the networks. As far as forgiveness Don Imus only has to apologize to those he directly and unjustly offended... the WOMEN of the Rutger's Basketball and no one else! And it is up to them to decide if they will forgive him no one else. In a society that allows murders a second chances Don Imus, who has done more to raise attention to many injustices as well as money for worthy causes, can certainly be given a poor judgment reprieve. Remember we all live in glass houses.

MLB Selig makes 14 million!

I was so happy to read that the Major League Baseball Commissioner did so well last year. In fact a friend of mine happened to have read that same newspaper report and did so out loud at his breakfast table and his son, who happens to be six years old said back to him; Daddy, what is baseball? What your six year old has never been to a game?,I asked. It seems that he hasn't taken his son to see that great American past time and told me that he never will since he can't afford the price of one ticket let alone four. This is where baseball has arrived. In a place where only those earning over six digits can comfortably afford to treat their families to a day at the ballgame. A place where those less fortunate can only watch a game on T.V.(hopefully they have cable, otherwise they have to wait for those few regular network games to air). A place where sky luxury boxes become the driving force behind designs of all the new stadiums. Build them small and make sure that there are many luxury boxes right Bud. Its a place where little league associations who want to dress their kids in uniforms that display the names of the big league teams are told that they can't because of trademark and financial reasons and where some have actually have been sued by big league clubs. A place where getting an autograph cost as much as a ticket. Ah yes Bud made millions and in doing so turned away millions, I guess thats good business.
