Imagine if Tom Delay had a Molly Ivans doll....



SEAN PENN - PENN HAS TORTURE DOLL:
Hollywood activist SEAN PENN has a plastic doll of conservative US columnist ANN COULTER that he likes to abuse when angry. The Oscar-winner actor has hated Coulter ever since she blacklisted his director father LEO PENN in her book TREASON. And he takes out his frustrations with Coulter, who is a best-selling author, lawyer and television pundit, on the Barble-like doll. In an interview with The New Yorker magazine, Penn reveals, 'We violate her. There are cigarette burns in some funny places. '
Imagine Perkie Katie reporting that Delay had placed "cigarette burns in funny places" on a doll. My golly, Katie's head would turn purple!

Build more jails?


Thousands rally in Grand Rapids against immigration legislation: "Thousands of protesters waving American and Mexican flags marched through Grand Rapids' streets to protest federal immigration legislation. "
Making all illegals instant felons might sound good to some but our jails would fill up overnight and other countries would retaliate big time. Bad idea. Deport those we catch (no dragnets) and deport them immediately. Create a national database and imprison repeat offenders. And impose giant fines on companies that hire them.
The guest worker program isn't a bad idea but giving illegals special rights to become citizens is insane! We've got to treat all immigrants equally.

Gov. race even!


Election 2006 Poll: "The latest Rasmussen Reports poll in the race for governor of Michigan shows Democratic Governor Jennifer Granholm and Republican Dick DeVos tied, 44% to 44%. This confirms the tightening of the race first reported last month."
Funny, the MSM didn't report this last night or this AM.

KFC causes bird flu?


News: "Scared about getting bird flu? Then the only really safe way to protect yourself is to go vegetarian, an animal rights group said on Tuesday.
Headlining a new Chinese and English language Web site (www.avianflu.cn) 'Avian flu: it's your fault,' the Asia Pacific branch of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) .....
What about frys and Coke?

PoliPundit.com


PoliPundit.com: "Nanner Nanner Boo Boo
The only thing I did hear on my way home was a brief snippet of Sean Hannity talking about Alec Baldwin. Ian Schwartz has the tape of the mud slinging I heard Hannity describe. Is it just me or does it seem the only person on the left not spewing wild conspiracy theories or calling names is Joe Lieberman and the Democrats are treating him like a leper right now.

You know you're getting old...


...when you've never heard of the "Sexiest Woman in the World" or her TV shows.

GoodShit:: "Scarlett Johansson tops a lovely list of the '100 Sexiest Women in the World,' in a poll of readers by FHM magazine.
'One of the best things for a woman to hear is that she is sexy,' the 21-year-old actress, star of 'Match Point' and 'Lost in Translation,' said in a statement. 'I'd like to thank FHM's readers for the huge compliment.'"

Reporters surprised? They're just not lookin'


United Press International - NewsTrack - Justice Scalia flips the finger in church: "U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia startled reporters in Boston just minutes after attending a mass, by flipping a middle finger to his critics....
'You know what I say to those people?' Scalia replied, making the obscene gesture and explaining 'That's Sicilian.' "
Ya gotta love it when a Supreme speaks for the common man! Yee ha!

Human nature?


OpinionJournal - PEGGY NOONAN: "Singh stared down the line of eight carriages. All the windows of the compartments were wide open but there was not a single human being standing at any of them. . . . [He] strode to the first carriage, snatched open the door and stepped inside. In one horrible instant he understood why no one was getting off the Ten Down Express in Amritsar that night. It was a trainful of corpses. The floor of the compartment before him was a tangled jumble of human bodies, throats cut, skulls smashed, bowels eviscerated. Arms, legs, trunks of bodies were strewn along the corridors of compartments."
I read this book 30 years ago. Chilling then, more so today.

Cheney and Celine!


The Borowitz Report .com: "Elsewhere, as Canada's annual seal hunt got underway over the weekend, Vice President Dick Cheney reportedly shot the singer Celine Dion in the face. "

Is this ever gonna end?


8th Annual Summit on Racism takes place in Grand Rapids Friday: "Summit organizers say the need for more diversity training in our schools is not being ignored. Every Kent County school district is doing some kind of diversity education. That was a goal that came out of previous Summits on Racism.
Friday's Summit on Racism began at 8 a.m.at the Calvin College Fine Arts Center."
Yeah, yeah. Whitey needs more education and let's talk about reparations......

Can't reed or spel but dig that nifty movie, dude.


School officials in Comstock Park preview video about the dangers of casual sex: Monday night, officials are showing the public a video called Let's Get Real about Teen Sex and the Law, and the video has stirred up some controversy.
The video shows some candid testimony from high schoolers about illegal behavior and sexual activity."
Public schools.....whatever....

More car-nage info


My Way - Sports News: "Dana is the first IRL driver killed since Tony Renna died in a crash during testing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in October 2003. Scott Brayton also died in a crash during practice for the 1996 Indy 500.
The last NASCAR driver killed was Dale Earnhardt in February 2001, the last driver to die in Formula One was Ayrton Senna in May 1994, and the last driver killed in the Champ Car World Series was Greg Moore in 1999. "
Dangerous sport.

National Support Our Troops Day


National Support Our Troops Day: " It's National Support Our Troops Day. Originally thought up by a Detroit-area teen, the idea was passed recently by Congress. She was inspired by a television news story about a soldier killed in Iraq."
God bless!

Let us not forget.

Export Detroit to the rest of the state?


The High Price of Detroit's Welfare Mentality: "The same welfare state mentality was leading to an even bigger calamity in the public sector. Detroit, remember, was going to be the 'Model City' of Lyndon Johnson's Great Society, the shining example of what the 'fairness' of the welfare state can produce. Billions of dollars later, Detroit instead has become the model of everything that can go wrong when you hook people on the idea of something for nothing - a once-middle class city of nearly 2 million that is now a poverty-stricken city of less than 900,000

Check out the reverse graph. Up equals down in Detroit. Awful!

Thump City!


My Way - Sports News: "The smiles broke out on the Duke bench midway through the second half. And why not? This one was over by then.
Monique Currie scored 17 points to lead top-seeded Duke to a 86-61 win over Michigan State on Sunday night in the Bridgeport Regional semifinal.
Duke (29-3) advanced to a regional final for the sixth time and will play either third-seeded Georgia or second-seeded Connecticut on Tuesday night. "
End of a great run for the Spartettes! You go girls!
Spartan Hockey finished their season tonight also. Not a bad year for each group of young folks. Eh?

Reardon's Law


It seems like everytime I turn around folks are getting all worked up about things that are good for some, but not others. We desperately need legislation to level the playing field.The government needs to support an environment where things are good for others, but not some.Hank Reardon 03.18.06 - 8:03 pm #
Hank's got a pretty good point.

The future?

What will it take for the people to realize that the left wants to control everything in their lives?

Gas tax on miles, not gallons, tested:
Oregon is testing the idea of collecting highway funds through a tax on miles driven, rather than gasoline consumed.
Eighty percent of Oregon's highway money comes from its 24-cents-per-gallon gas tax. If the state promotes reducing gasoline consumption and consumers tend to buy the fuel-efficient vehicles, including hybrids, highway revenues would take a hit, The New York Times reported.
The test program uses a global positioning system to track miles driven, using a black box to calculate how many miles are clocked in-state, out of state and during rush hour.
The experiment is designed to increase state revenue for road maintenance without raising gasoline taxes, but critics say collecting GPS records poses new privacy issues.
'The existence of such a database, which would, for the first time in history, allow for the creation of detailed daily itineraries of every driver, raises obvious privacy concerns,' said David L. Sobel, general counsel at the Electronic Privacy Information Center, a civil liberties group in Washington."

Quickie divorce?



The Pioneer > Home: "A Muslim couple in Jalpaiguri district have been ordered by local religious leaders to separate as the husband allegedly uttered talaq three times in his sleep."
No wonder Hollywood supports the muslims.

Important techie update:
No talaq through phone, Internet: AIMPLB .:. NewKerala - India's Top Online Newspaper: The Executive Committee of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has decided against talaq through Internet or phone. "
Bummer for Charlie Sheen.

Imagine...


... if Hitler would have fired Froggies instead of killing them....

My Way News: "French students mobilizing ahead of a national strike on Tuesday vowed on Sunday to hold a series of protests in the weeks ahead until the government withdraws a law making it easier to hire and fire young people.
'Without a withdrawal of the law, there can be no question of possible negotiations,' said Xavier Pascal, a student leader among hundreds of delegates who met in Aix-en-Provence in southeastern France to coordinate their actions."

Patriots win!


Sports News: "George Mason is no longer the cute little underdog. The Patriots, by golly, are going to the Final Four.
The suburban commuter school from Fairfax, Va., beat top-seeded Connecticut 86-84 in overtime Sunday in the Washington Regional final, ending the stranglehold that big-time programs have enjoyed for 27 years in college basketball's biggest showcase. "
Democrats depressed...

Do they really want this?


Breaking News: "While only two Democrats in the Senate have embraced Sen. Russ Feingold's call for censuring President Bush, the idea is increasing his standing among many Democratic voters as he ponders a bid for the party's presidential nomination in 2008"
There is a difference between GOPer and Demos. Don't forget!

Pacifist Canucks?



My Way News: "Canadian hunters started shooting and clubbing harp seal pups on Saturday at the start of an annual hunt that is the focus of a tech-savvy protest by animal rights groups."










Aren't these the same folks who wouldn't support the war against Saddam?
But they have no problem with baby seals. Big surprise. Cowards!

He's gotta be scared, big time....


My Way News - Pursuing Healthier Bacon Through Biotech: "A microscopic worm may be the key to heart-friendly Bacon."

The most brilliant writer of our time


Facing down a culture where they talk like crazies: "In a more culturally confident age, the British in India were faced with the practice of 'suttee' -- the tradition of burning widows on the funeral pyres of their husbands. General Sir Charles Napier was impeccably multicultural:
''You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: When men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows.You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.'
India today is better off without suttee. If we shrink from the logic of that, then in Afghanistan and many places far closer to home the implications are, as the Prince of Wales would say, 'ghastly.' "

And no college degree for the uncredentialed Mr Steyn! How can that be?

IRL Sad.


IRL Driver Paul Dana Dies After Crash: " Driver Paul Dana died after a two-car crash Sunday during the warmup for the season-opening IRL IndyCar Series race at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
The other driver, Ed Carpenter, was awake and alert at a Miami hospital, IRL officials said.
Dana, 30, a former motorsports journalist with a degree from Northwestern, competed in three IRL races for Ethanol Hemelgarn Racing last year with a best finish of 10th in the race at Homestead."
Too young. Like all our soldiers, police and firemen.

Monsters!


Independent Online Edition > Middle East: "When policemen, soldiers and officials in Kirkuk who were injured in insurgent attacks arrived in the emergency room of the hospital, they hoped their chances of surviving had gone up as doctors tended their wounds.
In fact, many of the wounded were almost certain to die because one of the doctors at the Republic Hospital was a member of an insurgent cell. Pretending to treat the injured men, he killed 43 of them by secretly administering lethal injections, a police inquiry has revealed."
Make no mistake about our enemies. They are sociopaths who will never stop killing innocents around the world. Anyone who thinks that our leaving Iraq before they are able to stand on their own will guarantee our safety is delusional.

This is nuts!


Cops go to hotel bars to arrest drunk guests: "The controversial police tactic of arresting drunks at bars and restaurants has gone to a new level, to include intoxicated people at hotels, even those who are registered guests with no plans on driving. "
Atlanta Lou sent this. Is he worried? Heh..

Storm trooping into hotels won't fly with the public but I've always wondered why police don't stake out bars at closing time to nab drunk drivers.
