Well, Cindy Sheehan got herself invited to the State of the Union address. She promised to behave since she was a guest of a member of Congress.
She promptly got herself arrested for trying to unfurl a banner.
Sorry, this is out-of-control behavior.
I understand she lost a son. I am sorry about that. But to use that excuse to turn into a self-promoting, anti-American darling is just sick. Worse, she cannot even act with proper decorum when she is a guest.
Could the media please, please stop encouraging her? She has to get even more outrageous to get attention these days - what’s next? (I will not type what I am thinking right now - out of respect for her son.)
Manhole covers and sewer grates are disappearing all over
Indianapolis.
"This is a severe public safety hazard we have here," said Margie Smith-Simmons, a spokeswoman for the city's Department of Public Works. "These manholes range in depth from 4 feet to 30 feet deep."
Yeah, I see how this could be a major problem. How are the public works crews supposed to tell the potholes from the open manholes?
So, a couple runs a brothel for a year.
Across the street from a police station.
It took them a YEAR to figure this out? It gets better. They needed an informant.
The mind boggles….
A man’s wallet, lost in 1967, has been returned to him.
The unpaid traffic ticket in his wallet will, of course, be a major source of revenue for the issuing jurisdiction. We’ll watch for the arrest…..
Like, wow, man. They, like, stole it.
Oh. My. God.
Anyone got some Chlorine for the gene pool?
Generally not a real good idea….
24% said the most evil Briton in the past 1000 years is Jack the Ripper……
My money was on Paul McCartney. But only because Carrot Top isn’t British….
Ah, Bill Gates…..
Thanks, Time Magazine for making his head swell…..
…over at Dean’s world.
Buy more Danish goods!
After all, you don’t just sell God’s house without paying a price, right?
Seriously, this guy sounds like he went totally off the edge.
The IAEA has finally deduced the obvious. The casting of enriched Uranium into a spherical shape has no other use than in a weapon.
Having worked in the field for years, I have one word for this conclusion.
Duh.
Like any rational person actually believed the Mullahs wanted enriched Uranium for peaceful purposes.
Betsy Newmark has an entry pointing to the latest bit of shameful political behavior out there.
Look, it is never appropriate to compare a political opponent (in this country at least) to a Nazi. The politician’s excuse that she only thought of the bumbling Colonel Klink rather than the fact that she was showing a 25 year US Marine veteran in a Nazi uniform is disingenuous.
This demonization of opponents HAS to stop. The Democrats are making a very serious error in embracing this hard-left tactic, and it will backfire on them. It is no longer possible to hide this stuff, it will come back to haunt them. Christ, what’s next? Calling opponents “running dog imperialist lackeys”? (Oh, never mind, the Kos Kidz are already using that, aren’t they?)
The Kos philosophy of being all about winning and not about ideology, is not going to play well with the majority in this country. It would be a good idea to remember that Americans by and large believe in fairness and good sportsmanship.
And already sworn in. Good for him, he did not deserve the horrible treatment some of the worst partisan hacks inflicted on him.
As always, there are charges and countercharges. One side claims that this is just like past waves of anti-immigrant feeling in US history. Some far over on the other extreme say it’s all a plan to require lost territory for Mexico.
What’s the answer? Likely somewhere in the middle, as usual.
Advocating strictly for the illegals is wrong. They are, after all, breaking the law. Period. Dress it up any way you want, it’s still advocating for the breaking of the law.
Advocating against based on race or culture is also wrong. Dress that up any way you want, it’s still ignorance-based hatred.
I think the vast majority of Americans are somewhere in the middle. Sick of illegals being tolerated while still welcoming legal immigrants. Illegals are certainly depressing wages and living standards for the lowest economic groups. Saying they take jobs no American wants is a false premise. They may take jobs no American wants at the sort of wages employers offer to illegals, if there were no illegals, the wages would have to rise until those jobs were attractive.
