The Donks in Congress are going to be beside themselves when word gets out that the FCC Chairman has determined that there is no need for the Fairness Doctrine to be re-imposed. The reason is quite simple:
“Indeed, with the continued proliferation of additional sources of information and programming, including satellite broadcasting and the Internet, the need for the Fairness Doctrine has lessened even further since 1987.”
Many people no longer get their news from the boob tube...and believe me, with all the programming these days, it really has become an emphasis on the first word in that moniker. Since they are getting their a**es kicked on talk radio, the Democrats will find time to introduce more bulls**t legislation to negate this particular regulatory ruling.
Then, watch The People rise up in mass wrath, just like they did for the shamnesty bill.
Man, I don’t care how crappy the rest of the news is in the current cycle, I’d much rather have this to celebrate:
FAKE INJUN GONE FROM CU: The b*st*rd who termed all the 9/11 victims “Little Eichmanns” was fired from his so-called job at the University of Colorado today. What else can I say? Still, expect this to go to court.
COME ON DOWN, DREW CAREY! He’s going to succeed Bob Barker as host of The Price is Right. He will easily make it his own show. In fact, I hope he brings some of his friends from “Whose Line Is It Anyway” every once in awhile.
Leave it to the Donks to tax the s**t out of things and use the revenue to pay for massive social spending programs, making more people dependent on the Giant Government Nipple Solution. In this case, premium cigars are the target and children’s health insurance is the recipient. Supposedly. Yeah, RIGHT.
Currently, the tax is five cents. Under a bill being considered by Congress, that tax would rise to a whopping ten dollars! I don’t smoke cigars, I can smell the damn things a mile away, and yes, some taxation is necessary (even with items which are not necessarily good for us), but the Donks are definitely going apes**t on raising our taxes. And remember, they (with help from the left and MSM) suckered the American electorate into voting them into the Congressional majority, and this is but one result.
There are times when I just want to sleep in. This is one of those times. But I’m up now, so let’s get on with it....
Had dinner last evening with one of my friends. I gave him the two 512MB memory chips I used to have in my Official System before upgrading it to 2 GB. At least they will find a good home in his grandmother’s MacBook.
And I can’t believe I ate the whole 12-ounce sirloin steak! Man, I had to have been hungry. Anyway, let’s see what’s on the wires:
A WASTE OF CHICAGO: The premier food festivel of the Народный Социалистический Город-Государство Чикаго* has its first food poisoning outbreak in at least twenty years, involving Persian food. Bummer.
SO MUCH FOR ‘PEACE’: A Nobel Peace Prize Laureate says she would want to kill George W. Bush. What an idiot! I hope she got a quick visit from the United States Secret Service.
3 TOP DONKS TO CUT FIELD? Shrillary, Breck Girl, and Osama Obama apparently weren’t aware of an open mike...and schemed to reduce their rivals at future debates!
Since so many tech companies continue to outsource their workforce to other nations, this choice by Microsoft to open a development center in Vancouver, British Columbia does not surprise me at all. Since US Law places limits on the number of imported foreign workers, they simply go to Canada who has different quotas more favorable to the software giant, eh.
Is it any wonder, then, why Windows Vista runs the way it does, eh?
Gee, I wonder how many carbon credits this will cost his old man? The kid drives at 100 mph at 0215 hours in a Toyota Prius! Cops pull him over and when he opens the window, out comes the undeniable stench of pot:
It was not Gore’s first brush with the law. He was arrested in 2003 for marijuana possession and in 2002 for suspected drunken-driving.
Gore was still in custody as of mid-morning and was sharing a holding cell with an unknown number of people, said Orange County Sheriff’s spokesman Jim Amormino.
“There are no special privileges,” he told Reuters.
The story has almost as much about Algore as it does about his son. Go figure. And at least we now know that hybrid cars can perform under pressure. Heheheheheheheh....
A typical divorce case, where the wife accuses the husband of cheating on her. Only this time, she does not gather her evidence by hiring a private investigator to trail the wayward spouse...but by using DNA testing equipment belonging to the State of Michigan. Therefore, the Michigan Taxpayers picked up the tab!
I hope the judge throws her entire suit out and grants the divorce on terms favorable to her (soon-to-be-ex) husband, because she too cheated. I don’t care if she did the testing on her own time. She still used professional equipment available only to police investigations, and therefore ILLEGALLY obtained the evidence! Then again, Michigan is a Blue State, so there may not be much hope for that.
Yesterday, President Bush commuted Scooter Libby’s 30-month prison term for his wrongful conviction into zero time in the slammer. While it isn’t a pardon, it will allow Libby to get on with his life outside public service. I’m sure he will have no problem securing gainful employment from a private firm.
Meanwhile, the Democrats’ disposition to Bush’s executive clemency was entirely predictable: rage and anger which stems yet again from the Florida 2000 result. They’ve never been able to get over it, and they never will. Watch for Congressional investigations to ensue, which will be wasteful in terms of both time and Taxpayer expense.
I find this ironic in a way that Warren Buffett, the third-richest man in the world, complains about the US tax system because he pays less in overall tax than his secretary and cleaner. He uses his tax attorneys to take advanatage of every loophole which currently exists in US Tax Law.
Perhaps he should look at it from a different angle: if he’s so adamant that he should pay more taxes, then why not simply write an additional check on April 15 every year, payable to the United States Treasury, for $X,XXX,XXX,XXX.XX (say, at least a billion dollars), and put in the memo line “For Reduction of the National Debt.” See? Problem solved, and he’ll feel better too after having redistributed his own wealth. Isn’t that what all his whining and moaning was all about?
After weeks of testing several hundred beer varieties to find flavors that taste good on a stick, Rustico finally settled on three flavors: “Raspbeer-y,” made with a Belgian, fruit-style beer; “Plum,” made from a Belgian Lambic brew; and the “Fudgesicle,” made with a stout with bittersweet chocolate undertones. He plans to offer other flavors on a rotating basis.
The beer pops sell for $4 in the six-ounce size, shaped like a traditional Popsicle, and $6 for a larger “beer cone.”
Of course, a certain agency of the Commonwealth of Virginia has a s**t-fit about it due to regulations on how beer is to be served, and plan to send an agent to investigate. I hope that agent tells the Commonwealth to chill out and enjoy it!
I should tell my coworkers about this stupid-a** edict coming down from on high for the City of Seattle: IF workers continue to burn their popcorn when they put it in the microwave and walk away for a few minutes, then come back and find it blackened and all smelly and such...then they will no longer be able to use microwave popcorn.
In a way this is funny. As far as I know, they still sell those bulky air popping machines at Wal-Mart and other fine stores. If this ban should be enacted, I can easily see this occurring in other cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York City, and especially the Народный Социалистический Город-Государство Чикаго*.
Thanks to Michigan Justice and time off for good behavior, Jack Kevorkian, a convicted murderer, got out of prison yesterday after serving only eight years. He says he’s going to work to legalize doctor-assisted suicide without getting into trouble again.
I don’t believe him. Someone out there desperate to die but doesn’t have the ‘nads to do it themselves will fork over some serious funds to this guy and he’ll do it again. Only this time, he won’t have to mail the tape to 60 Minutes...he’ll just upload it to YouTube! The Michigan authorities had better watch Kevorkian like a hawk. No one has the right to call their own shots when it comes to dying...that is left solely to the decision of God Almighty.
Again, I almost fell out of my chair when I read the following passage in this latest chapter in the saga who is better known as Paris Hilton:
The hotel heiress will spend about 23 days in a “special needs housing unit” at the Century Regional Detention Center in suburban Lynwood, Los Angeles County sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore said.
Her sentence was shortened after jail officials gave her credit for good behavior, Whitmore said. Officials considered several factors in calculating the credit, including that she appeared for her latest court date, he said.
”Good behavior” can be interpreted in many ways, so I’ll just leave it up to your imagination.
Yesterday, the Reverend Jerry Falwell passed away; I found out about it while I was at work. Although I’m not a Baptist, I’ve known quite a few of them over the years, and I hope they’re all doing OK with this news. And most certainly, I pray his family will be comforted and strengthened by God for the time ahead. Considering how the left felt about the Rev. Falwell, they will certainly need that extra protection.
I also scouted some left-wing sites I normally patrol on a low-level basis for reactions to the Rev. Falwell’s death; the hatred and vitriol on the left side of the aisle was sheer, unabashed, and unapologetic. Whoever dared to challenge those opinions were ripped to pieces as well. All I will say is this: their words will come back to bite them when they least expect it.
