Thoughts on today’s news…
Posted by Duncan on March 25th, 2008
U.S. Ship Fires on Motorboat in Gulf of Suez; 1 Dead (via FoxNews): Civilian Ship fires on small boat the comes close to it. Ofcourse, civilian ship is flying the U.S. flag and carrying used military equipment. Pretty good target for some jihadis to blow up. (Not that they’ve ever done that before or anything). Turns out that it supposedly was just locals trying to sell passing ships cigarettes and chiclets, or whatever. Oh, did I mention it was AFTER sunset? I wonder if the crew tried to warn the boat or tell it to leave before they decided the boat was a probably threat to them.
PAPER: Revealed: 21 countries more stable, prosperous than USA… (via Drudge) Countries such as The Vatican, Monaco, Gibraltar, Liechtenstein and the Irish Republic (though from what I understand, the Irish figured out that low taxes can lead to economic properity). The U.S. ended up 22nd, losing ground with Switzerland (17th) due to the “losing points in the assessment of its social achievements”, whatever the hell that means. Probably that we’re not advancing towards socialized healthcare and higher taxes fast enough.. oh wait…. its that damned 2nd Amendment again!:
Mr Le Mière said that the US had fallen down the scale, although it still scored an average of 93 out of 100, partly because of the proliferation of small arms owned by Americans and the threat to the population posed by the flow of drugs from across the Mexican border.
Someone please tell the illegal immigrants that there are 21 other countries better to live in than the U.S…. perhaps they should move there!
OHIO: Nearly one in 10 now receives food stamps; highest number in state’s history… (via Drudge):
All hail the mighty nanny state! Buy the staples people. Too many times I’ve been in the checkout line listening to the cashier tell some person that no… candy and dorito’s can’t be purchased with food stamps…
Sources: Air marshals missing from almost all flights (via CNN): 28,000 commercial flights daily. That would require ATLEAST 28000 air marshal’s to put JUST ONE per flight. Many times there are two or three that probably work together on a flight. There just aren’t the people, the bodies, to cover every stinking flight. So they use intel to help place the marshal’s on flights that are more susceptible to hijacking. There are also armed federal agents, not neccessarily air marshals, that fly armed onboard air craft as part of their travel. If something goes down, they are available to the crew of the aircraft. Sounds like to me that CNN is scare-mongering (is that a word?), bringing up the “Administration’s failures” in an election year. I definitely don’t think we are less safe in the air right now. Al-Qaeda blew their load, if you can stand me using that term, on 9/11. It won’t work again. They’re going to try something new and think outside of the box, just like they did back in September 2001.
Clinton says she ‘misspoke’ about sniper fire (via CNN):
She said when she arrived in Bosnia on March 25, 1996, “I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.”
Except it didn’t happen. They’ve got video stills at CNN that show her and Chelsea walking off the plane all calm and collected. But she just “misspoke”. Like not “inhaling” or the definition of “is” is. She just stepped all over her pud… now she’s giving Obama something to grab hold onto and beat her over the head with…
Alright… that’s all for now… I have to get to work….

I have 2 questions
1. Is the Media afraid of the Clinton’s?
After the watching the documentary Hillary the Movie, I wonder if they have some kind of Clinton Mob thing going on.
2. Why doesn’t the media report the truth on Hillary?
After all you did not play the whole sermon of Rev.wright you took 1 sample and looped it like a rapper producing a rap track and you are not protecting the country by allowing hidden Clinton information that are Crucial to our lives and this country to come out in the open. After watching Hillary the Movie, is appears the lie about the Bosnia trip was not the only corrupt thing going on. And in about 2 to 3 weeks the truth is going to come out anyway.

The truth hurts! Hillary is a well documented liar, well documented by serious, scholarly, Pulitzer-winning journalists. She is also destroying the Democratic Party… and further destroying the democratic process… with her vicious, mean spirited, negative approach to campaigning. She relishes the role as a macho nutcracker! Unfortunately, she is directing her wrath on her own family.
It’s easier to be a liar… when there are not thousands of pages of documentation, hours of videotape and your own historical book that didn’t mention these now important facts… like being under fire in a war zone!
