Repenting of My Previous Post...
Tsofah,
I appreciate your sensitivities.
For years I have believed that Senator Kennedy is a very bad man. And while I would wish cancer on no one, for me to now collapse into a fit of concern and compassion would be disingenuous. We are all going to die... (I know I plan to...) and the Senator can afford to pass painlessly and peacefully.
Maybe we should pray that this illness would cause the Senator to publicly repent - and thus glorify G_d.
Maybe the Senator will publicly turn away from his support of abortion, the gay agenda, His efforts to separate G_d from our schools and our institutions... And maybe he will repent of his personal life style.
I believe G_d uses illness to bless people... By getting their attention off the world and onto Him.
Senator Kennedy has the opportunity to turn a lifetime of mistakes into a glorious witness. Maybe we should pray for that.

Ted Kennedy Diagnosed...
BOSTON - Sen. Edward Kennedy has a malignant brain tumor.
Doctors for the Massachusetts Democrat said Tuesday that preliminary biopsy results showed a malignant glioma in the left parietal-lobe. It was detected after Kennedy, 76, was airlifted to Boston on Saturday after having a seizure at his Cape Cod home.
It is reported that upon hearing the news, the executives at Chivas Regal wept.
It just doesn't make sense. A guy takes care of himself... Lives right... Avoids diving into the water late at night... And then this happens!
Get well Ted. You exemplify your ilk to comedic perfection... You are irreplaceable.

I Was Circumcised Behind My Back
After 46 years the Naked Truth Sees the Light of Day... Is Brought Out and Examined... Is Exposed... Displayed... Laid Bare... Uncovered... Unmasked... Unveiled... All That.
When my mother went into labor and they checked her out... They found that my umbilical cord was preceding me. Not good. With my oxygen supply cut off, I no doubt became indignant and began pounding my fists against the walls of my mother's uterus, demanding immediate action... Well maybe I did. Anyway, they rushed us to the delivery room.
I was born a blue baby... Breech... With a prolapsed cord. Then I got sick. In short, because of my general health - or lack thereof - they never got around to circumcising me.
Fast forward to the summer when I am seven years old. I develop a hernia that requires surgery. Unknown to me... My parents talk to the surgeon behind my back and arrange for me to be circumcised during my hernia surgery.
I was kept in the dark on this issue.
In the recovery room, at some point after the surgery I inadvertently knocked the bandage off my member... And my most vivid memory of that day is the sight of three nurses and my mother huddled over me as the nurses re-bandaged my John Thomas. And... My dad coming from around the corner, quickly developing an "OH MY GOD!" look on his face, and immediately disappearing.
Most tragedies are best illustrated in pictures... As they will be here. (No... no... no... I don't mean that.) Below is my first grade picture, taken about 10 months before the horror.

Notice the innocent look on my face... The trusting eyes. Notice the easy, carefree smile. Is this a normal and well-adjusted little man? Oh yes. Yes he is.
Now look at my second grade picture, about 2 months after my surgery.
Notice the vacant stare. Notice the forced smile. The picture reveals disillusionment and a new found cynicism. Even my hair is different, symbolically clipped and trimmed. This is a young man who trusts no one... Sadly, not even his parents.
Two years later I had knee surgery to repair a torn cartilage. Before going under the knife I had many long talks with my parents. I can assure you that details were discussed... And promises were made...
Hillary Creams Obama
It's just one win - and too late - for Mrs. Clinton... But by 41% ?!? Obama should get down on his knees... No, he should lie prostrate on the floor and thank God, or Allah, or whatever he actually worships... That West Virginia doesn't hold its primary in January.
And for all those Hillary voters in West Virginia I'd say this: If you want to have any influence on who your party nominates for the presidency... Move to Iowa.
I'm sure Obama sees the results from last night as the irrational ravings of uneducated, unsophisticated, Typical White People... But I don't think race is the issue... I don't think the Obomber is a weak candidate because he is half black.
Obama is weak because among his confidants he has a criminal, a racist, and a left-wing domestic terrorist... He's weak because he thinks it's uncool to wear an American Flag lapel pin... He's weak because this son a Muslim want to sit down and play knees-eeze with Muslim terrorists...
He's weak because he doesn't love his country in the same way as the young men and women who are lining up to die for her...

My Nephews
This is me with two thirds of my nephews... My sister's boys.
Yes I know... I should never wear shorts.
The nephew on the left is now a lawyer... The younger one is a school teacher and has a talk-radio show.
My third nephew, my brother's boy, is an excellent golfer... Something I can respect.
Some day in the future I plan to be dead... And I hope my nephews remember me as the fun uncle... The attentive uncle... The good uncle...
Not the uncle in this picture... The one wishing their mother would come and get them... And for pity's sake take them away!

Operation Chaos
Because of Rush Limbaugh's "Operation Chaos," I declared myself a Democrat today... And voted for Hillary Clinton.
I feel so dirty. I will drape cloth over my mirrors because I cannot abide my reflection. I am become sin. I am hideous. I will was my hands, but my hands will ne'er be clean again.
Out, damn'd spot! out, I say!

F.Y.I.
Do you know the difference between a hurricane, a typhoon and a cyclone? Honolulu Community College Professor Richard Brill does.
The Caribbean Sea is the spawning ground for hurricanes in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific Oceans. They are called typhoons In the western Pacific and cyclones in the Indian Ocean, but the physics is the same.
A cyclone is any mass of air that spirals around a low pressure center. It is an organized collection of thunderstorms embedded in a swirling mass of air.
At the center of the spiral is the eye, a vertical tube of clear skies and calm winds; the more intense the storm, the smaller the eye.
Although the main upwards flow of air is around the eye, the entire air mass is unstable. Spiraling rows of thunderstorms with relatively clear areas between them extend outwards for up to two thousand miles from the center, gradually diminishing in intensity.

Obama Sees The Light
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama denounced ``ridiculous'' statements made by the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, using his strongest language to date to distance himself from his former pastor.
Good. Now we can all vote for this Leftist.
Yes, after 20 years of attending the Black equivalent of a Klan rally, Barack Obama has determined that racial hatred is a bad thing.
Good, Barack! Real good!

George Will's Questions for Obama
1) You say John McCain is content to "watch [Americans'] home prices decline." So, government should prop up housing prices generally? How? Why? Were prices ideal before the bubble popped? How does a senator know ideal prices? Have you explained to young couples straining to buy their first house that declining prices are a misfortune?
2) During the ABC debate, you acknowledged that when the capital gains rate was dropped first to 20 percent, then to 15 percent, government revenues from the tax increased and they declined in the 1980s when it was increased to 28 percent. Nevertheless, you said you would consider raising the rate "for purposes of fairness." How does decreasing the government's financial resources and punishing investors promote fairness? Are you aware that 20 percent of taxpayers reporting capital gains in 2006 had incomes of less than $50,000?
3) Michelle, who was born in 1964, says that most Americans' lives have "gotten progressively worse since I was a little girl." Since 1960, real per capita income has increased 143 percent, life expectancy has increased by seven years, infant mortality has declined 74 percent, deaths from heart disease have been halved, childhood leukemia has stopped being a death sentence, depression has become a treatable disease, air and water pollution have been drastically reduced, the number of women earning a bachelor's degree has more than doubled, the rate of homeownership has increased 10.2 percent, the size of the average American home has doubled, the percentage of homes with air conditioning has risen from 12 to 77, the portion of Americans who own shares of stock has quintupled … Has your wife perhaps missed some pertinent developments in this country that she calls "just downright mean"?
4) Senator, concerning the criteria by which you will nominate judges, you said: "We need somebody who's got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what it's like to be a young teenage mom. The empathy to understand what it's like to be poor, or African-American, or gay, or disabled, or old." Such sensitivities might serve an admirable legislator, but what have they to do with judging? Should a judge side with whichever party in a controversy stirs his or her empathy? Is such personalization of the judicial function inimical to the rule of law?
Will has more questions, but these were my favorites. I suspect that these are more of the tough and unfair questions that Obama seeks to avoid by limiting further debates.

Kokomo - Through the Eyes of The New York Times
They had many pictures - I'm sure - to pick from...
Kokomo, Ind., a manufacturing city of 46,000 north of Indianapolis, is under a rare political spotlight as the state prepares for the May 6 primary.
Nice.
Rev. Jeremiah Wright at the National Press Club
April 28, 2008
Question: Can you explain what you meant in a sermon shortly after 9/11 when you said the United States had brought the terrorist attacks on itself? Quote, “America’s chickens are coming home to roost.”
Rev. Wright: "...to quote the Bible, “Be not deceived. God is not mocked. For whatsoever you sow, that you also shall reap.” Jesus said, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
You cannot do terrorism on other people and expect it never to come back on you. Those are biblical principles, not Jeremiah Wright bombastic, divisive principles.
Reverend Jeremiah Wright - The gift that keeps on giving!

A Letter from John...
Yesterday I received a letter from my friend, John McCain.
Back in 2004 I sent $100 to the George Bush Campaign... And George and the Republican Party were so moved, that they've kept in touch ever since.
The letter from John was a sincere effort to gauge my feelings on several issues, a questionnaire with multiple choices... Proving beyond doubt - that in the hands of Conservatives, John is but putty, and lives to please us.
On most questions I could not find the best answer among the choices, so I had to scribble in "Illegal Aliens," "United Nations," "Global Warming Hoax..." Stuff like that.
On the last page I was perplexed to find a request for funds. Could this be the real reason for this correspondence? My choices were $25, $50, $100, $200, and "Other." I chose the latter and wrote a very large "zero" in red ink. Underneath I wrote, "Up Yours, You Insufferable RINO."
As I placed the postage-paid envelope into the mail... Did I feel buoyant, cleansed, and refreshed?
Oh yes. Yes I did.

Jerk...
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican U.S. presidential candidate John McCain accused North Carolina's Republican Party of being "out of touch with reality" over its refusal to pull an advertisement criticizing Democrat Barack Obama.
John, you exasperating R.I.N.O. piece of crap and old coot...
Shut up.
It's not about you - and it's none of your business. The Republican Faithful in North Carolina are more loyal to your Party than you are... And they probably don't like you.
So just shut up.

Distractions
Real change has never been easy. . . . The status quo in Washington will fight. They will fight harder than ever to divide us and distract us with ads and attacks from now until November.
--Barack Obama
With that, Obama identified the new public enemy: the "distractions" foisted upon a pliable electorate by the malevolent forces of the status quo, i.e., those who might wish to see someone else become president next January. "It's easy to get caught up in the distractions and the silliness and the tit for tat that consumes our politics" and "trivializes the profound issues" that face our country, he warned sternly. These must be resisted.
Why? Because Obama understands that the real threat to his candidacy is less Hillary Clinton and John McCain than his own character and cultural attitudes. He came out of nowhere with his autobiography already written, then saw it embellished daily by the hagiographic coverage and kid-gloves questioning of a supine press.
Krauthammer is a genius: "... his own character and 'Cultural attitudes.'" Perfectly stated!
Then came the three amigos: Tony Rezko, the indicted fixer; Jeremiah Wright, the racist reverend; William Ayers, the unrepentant terrorist. And then Obama's own anthropological observation that "bitter" working-class whites cling to guns and religion because they misapprehend their real class interests.
As people begin to learn about this just-arrived pretender, the magic dissipates. He spent six weeks in Pennsylvania. Outspent Hillary more than 2 to 1. Ran close to 10,000 television ads -- spending more than anyone in any race in the history of the state -- and lost by 10 points.
The Obamessiah is an empty suit... Just a pretty little man with pretty words... And a disappointing past.
If life were only a speech...

Chabad Synagogue in Miami Torched
Unknown individuals set fire to a Chabad synagogue in Miami Beach, Florida on Tuesday, burning the Torah books inside.
Ze'ev Katz, the synagogue's head rabbi, recounted the event on one of Chabad's internet websites, saying that a number of individuals broke into the empty synagogue, took the Torah books from the cabinet, tore them to pieces, and set them on fire.
The rabbis also said that the majority of anti-Semitic activity that takes place in the US is perpetrated by the Muslim community.
Riots and burning cars to follow?

Great Video Filled with Important Questions About Obama
This video does a great job deconstructing the Media's Myth of Obama.
Climate Change Pair
From the Centers for Disease Control:
1.Syrup of ipecac (one teaspoonful per ten pounds body weight)
2. Hydrogen peroxide 3% (one to three teaspoonfuls every ten minutes; repeat three times)
3. One half to one teaspoonful of salt, placed at the back of the tongue.
4. This video.
The very moment I stop vomiting, I plan to write about my dwindling respect for Newt Gingrich.
