North Korea Conducts More Missile Tests

Ah yes ! Here we have another legacy from Bill Clinton's presidency . In reaction to S.Korea's firm stance on N.Korea's dismantling of its nuclear weapons program , N.Korea has responded by conducting more missile tests . If you remember last year N.Korea did this to get economic aid in exchange for a promise to commence shutting down their nuclear reactor that was being used to make weapons grade plutonium . The deal to get the nuclear reactor was brokered by none other than former U.S. President Jimmy Carter with the blessing of the Clinton Administration . What amazes me is that no one at the time saw the insanity of doing this . The two Korea's have existed in a state of war for over fifty years now , another by product of that wonderful organization the United Nations . Now you want to sell a nuclear reactor to a rogue , belligerent regime in the belief that they'll use it with peaceful intent . At last report N.Korea has over 100,000 artillery pieces aimed at Seoul , and then Carter helps them become a nuclear power . And what amazes me most is that Jimmy Carter got a Nobel Peace Prize for it ! Now over Ten years later people are shocked to find N.Korea vigorously pursuing a nuclear weapons program , and improving their missile technology . I know hindsight is 20/20 , but give me a break people Forrest Gump could have seen this one coming .

Lessons from Tibet

It is inspiring to witness a people rise up against an oppressive government. The rest of the world needs to witness this uprising and fully understand the concept of communism. This form of government derived from Marxism. The name Marxism came from the father of communism the Jew Carl Marx. This evil man wrote the book on what we know today as communism, literally. The Communist Manifesto written in eighteen forty eight outlines the fundamentals of this form of government. Moreover, how to secretly expand this destructive way of thought throughout the world. For instance, planting the idea of diversity, this form of brainwashing is to make us believe that we are all equal. When we are lead to believe that once we are born in to a particular class. We are fit for only a particular type of skill regardless of one's I.Q. or hard work, what class you are born into, this is what you will be. Then you are lumped into different races of people, which make this propaganda work even better and easier to believe. This lowers the benchmark of one's class is a sure fire way to keep the population under control and working for a goal that truly has no real value. Working for something that you can never own just to stay alive. This is communism. In addition, if this sounds familiar then you might want to look at your own system of government and realize that Tibet is not too far away.

D.C. Gun Ban - Part 2

In continuation of my last post about the Supreme Court reviewing the legality of the gun ban within the District of Columbia , i brought forth a case in which March 16, 1976 three women were brutally raped , and of the D.C. police departments failure to act . Also i wrote of the end result when the three women took the District of Columbia to court (Warren v. District of Columbia). After the Superior Court ruling the three women's case went to the D.C. Court of Appeals . Again the women's lawsuit met with failure . The Court of Appeals ruling was as follows "The duty to provide public services is owed to the public at large , and , absent a special relationship between the police and an individual , no specific legal duty exists ." To me it sounds like the courts were covering up for some incompetent cops and those three women had to pay a price for it . According to the D.C. gun ban all rifles and those few remaining legal handguns must be broken down and trigger locked while in the home . I had to read that stipulation twice to be sure i understood it correctly . So in other words in D.C. in the middle of the night and someone breaks into your home , you must be able to wake instantly alert and in the dark assemble all the pieces of your gun before the intruder finds and deals with you . And this is supposed to make me feel safe how ?

Kevorkian for congress

The infamous Doctor of Death Jack Kevorkian has announced his bid for congress this Monday. Look at bright side, if elected, you can die In Iraq and in the comfort of your own home, how convenient.

D.C. Gun Ban

Very soon the U.S. Supreme Court will be reviewing a 30 year old gun ban for the District Of Columbia . The court will be deliberating on whether or not the gun ban goes against the Second Amendment , and would therefore be considered unconstitutional . Outside of Roe v. Wade this is one of the most fought over pieces of legislation in U.S. government . I personally believe that you should have the right to own , and if you fill necessary carry a hand gun . Please note i said Handgun not , Sub machine Guns or Automatic Rifles with enough ammo to mow down a small division of attacking troops . Please i don't want my patriotic brothers and sisters to misunderstand me , if you feel the need to own those types of weapons then by all means do so . However I'm sure you can see my point when i say that seeing mom at a Wal-Mart with three children in tow and an M-16A2 strapped across her back......it just doesn't work . Those weapons would be better served in the home , not at a P.T.A meeting . To me the idea of disarming the populace to protect it is naive thinking at its worse . I'd like to offer an actual case for your consideration . On March 16, 1975 three women who shared a townhouse were beaten , raped , and sodomized by two men . One of the women had a room down stairs while the other two had rooms upstairs .The woman down stairs was attacked first , but while this was taking place one of the women upstairs called the police . When the police arrived the patrol car merely slowed past the townhouse and continued on . The woman frantically called the police again but this time got no response . After an hour had passed with no sound coming from down stairs the two women called after their friend to see if she were alright unaware that the rapist had yet to leave the townhouse . Alerted to the fact that two more women were upstairs what followed was 14 hours of sexual torture . The women sued the District of Columbia but lost the case . The D.C. Superior Court ruled as follows " a government and its agents are under no general duty to provide public services , such as police protection , to any particular individual citizen . " Soon after this ruling the D.C. City Council imposed the gun ban . If those women had been armed and had the proper training i dare say that outcome may have been a little different .

Hillary snipes herself

This is too easy. Does anybody honestly think that the president or the first lady would be sent into a war in Bosnia or anywhere else? The only person that was ever fired upon during the Clinton administration was Monica Lewinsky. Whom did she call at three in the morning?

Black Liberation Theology.......The Philosophy

From what I've been able to deduce from my reading of Black Liberation Theology this is the philosophy that guides them . Black Liberation Theology seems more concerned with political and economic security , than spiritual salvation . God is seen as a champion for the poor against the rich . However Black Liberation Theology seems to deal more with racism and historical identity . To me personally the very fact that a so called church would be more interested in financial and political gain disqualifies them in my eyes as a place of worship . Also i could be wrong but i don't think you'll find anything in the Bible about God being concerned over who has what and how much . As far as racism goes as I've stated in my last post , the only racism that exist in America today is in the mind of the average black man and woman . As far as an historic identity is concerned they have one ..... they are Americans not slaves . Although slavery was a part of their past it doesn't define them . Black people are the ones who've chosen that part of their history to define themselves . Many blacks have made contributions in medicine , physics , and agriculture , accomplishments that are truly worth building upon .

A gun in your hand is better than a cop on the phone

That is what you have to remember when the United States Supreme Court finishes tearing apart our constitutional rights this month over a Washington D.C. gun ban. I cannot even fathom why we are wasting our time and tax dollars over a debate that was settled during the founding of this country. I do not care where you live in the United States. If you are born in America, you can carry any firearm you see fit. This is how the constitution reads. If the Supreme Court wants to hear cases with some substance, try illegal immigration, or the legality of the patriot act and the income tax.

Black Liberation Theology

It's a difficult thing to discuss someones faith without them getting offended , however i find this particular faith to be rather offensive to me . I've been recently studying the philosophy of the Black Liberation Theology , whose views harken back to a time that no longer exist except in the minds of black Americans . A time back in the late 50's and early 60's when blacks in America did not have the same rights as white Americans , and were looked upon as second class citizens . A time when segregation at all levels of American society was the norm and places such as Atlanta , Georgia were scenes of violent demonstrations by blacks . In the midst of these turbulent times a black protest minister Pastor Cone allowed his religious convictions to be altered by these troubling times . Instead of preaching the words of Jesus Christ and the lessons he imparted to humanity Pastor Cone took his church in a different direction . In his belief system he segregated the church , and began citing the differences as he saw them between black Christians , and white Christians . He began preaching of the need for freedom from oppression and justice and equality for all , even though these very events were taking shape around him . This is where i find offense . The gospel was meant for all , not one version for black and one for white . Pastor Cone did what so many of us tend to do , he took what was written in the Bible and twisted its interpretations to suit his own world view . And where is the injustice and oppression against blacks in America ? It exist in one place . It exist in the mind of the average black man and woman . For only in that place does racism hold sway . It is a repetitive thought that will not set them free .

The war on terror five years later

It is hard to believe that this last week marks the five-year anniversary of the so-called war on terror. A war perpetuated by fear and ignorance of the American people and let me explain why. In the beginning, we were led to believe that a terrorist organization that derived from some caves in Afghanistan attacked us. This leader of this group Osama Bin laden a rich Arab that also lives in a cave and is the mastermind of the nine eleven murders was going to be smoked out and brought to justice. Rouge governments and dictators of several Arab countries protect him and if they are suspected of harboring him, they will be smoked out and brought to justice. Some of these dictators also have weapons of mass destruction. Of course, they store them in caves and we are going to go find them too. Questioning this war is also considered an act of terror under a new law called the patriot act designed to protect the American people from Arabs in caves. By taking away, our constitutional rights we are going to win this war and make the world safe while spreading our brand of democracy were ever we occupy. Do you feel safe from cave dwelling Arabs? On the other hand, do you feel like you have been had?

Barack Obama.......And The Race Card .

In a speech earlier this week Senator Barack Obama tried to sugar coat the anti -American , anti-white rhetoric that Reverend Dr. Jeremiah Wright had been spewing of late . In his speech he spoke of many things , but mainly an overriding need for America to let go of racism . I believe that the only people in America that needs to let racism go are black Americans , for they are mainly the only ones you hear this from out of the entire population . It seems to me that blacks in America use "The Race Card " as a fast track to get what they want . Have you ever noticed how when a black man or woman doesn't get the job they wanted , or maybe was pulled over by law enforcement for a traffic violation its termed as racist . My favorite hypocrisy is when on those rare occasions a white person kills a black it's labeled a " Hate Crime " , and yet when a black person kills a white it's simply labeled as murder . However i believe white Americans must take some blame for this . In an effort to try and make things equal for all as is written in Americas own Declaration of Independence , we've lost track of when enough is enough . I believe black Americans receive the lions share of federal spending for any social program the federal government funds . This includes among many things free housing and education . The government sponsored Food Stamp Program has become a source of income for them instead of a help up when you fall financially on hard times as the program was supposed to be used . Yet that's not enough for them . And when they can't get more just like a petulant child they start a tantrum in the form of racism . Its funny but most whites and other races in America I've noticed only seem to want to get along with each other . Now I'm not so foolish as to believe there are no racist groups in America , there are . However these groups are not as large , organized or as well funded as they used to be . And in truth when you listen to some of these white supremest groups they tend to sound a little silly . In short racism will always have a place in American society as long as people like Jesse Jackson , Al Sharpton , and Reverend Wright continue in their struggle to keep the hate alive .

Is politics really a laughing matter?

As you, all should know from my past articles I am not a very big fan of network television. Nevertheless, I do watch occasionally and when I do, it really concerns me to see what is popular with the masses. This gets to the point of today's article. The mixture of comedy and news, and how our modern day presidential candidates, must win over this generation of one-liners and pranksters, to have a chance at the white house. Is this the future of America? If the candidates cannot take themselves seriously then why should we. We are deciding who holds the highest office in the land based upon laughs, ratings and celebrity status. None of these attributes qualifies to be the leader of the greatest republic ever formed. I want someone who is serious and professional. A candidate that will not have to stoop to the level of a court jester to be taken seriously. Someone with honor, integrity and dignity. In other words, not any of the clowns we have to choose from for this election.

Reverend Dr. Jeremiah Wright - Part 2

In a post i wrote on Monday , i talked about a video i saw of a sermon given by Reverend Wright in which he practically declared that America had somehow gotten what it deserved on 9-11-01 . One example he used to back that theory was the bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima with atomic bombs . This event in his opinion and in the thoughts of several others is supposed to prove what an evil country America is , and brought war and untold misery to millions . This is revisionist history , and like anyone who uses it to make an historical or political point knows that not a lot of research is done and anything that doesn't fit there world view is conveniently omitted . The use of atomic weapons on Japan in 1945 was a Little more complex than what Rev. Wright and those revisionist historians would have you believe . First of all by August 1945 the Japanese Imperial Armed Forces were practically non-existent . Emperor Hirohito had called for all remaining military units to fight to the death to protect the homeland . At the same time he also called for all able bodied civilians to take up arms and defend the nation . The United States army high command estimated that an invasion of the Japanese islands would cost the lives of as many as 100,000 troops . The cost in civilian lives was estimated to be somewhere between 250,000 to 300,000 killed . However by that time the atomic bomb had already been developed at Los Alamo's and tested at White Sands New Mexico . In an attempt to avoid those casualty figures and bring a quick end to WW2 , President Truman sent a message to Emperor Hirohito and the Japanese high command that America had a new devastating weapon and would use it if Japan didn't surrender . Twice the ultimatum was given and was ignored ,and President Truman gave the order . Now for those of you who still think America is an evil place for doing this , here's something for your consideration . Between Dec.1937 and March 1938 the Japanese army had surrounded and sacked the Chinese capital of Nan king . In those four months the Japanese army killed 369,366 civilians and prisoners of war and raped 80,000 women & young girls . So when people like Rev. Wright simplifies this pivotal moment in history to make a political point , it shows just how truly uneducated these people really are .

Introducing the Kindle

The Kindle is a new reading device offered by Amazon.com that shows a lot of promise. Unlike past readers, this device has the access to Amazons' vast library with several major newspapers signing on to provide content that is delivered thru a high-speed data network connection like a cell phone. With no WIFI hotspots to find and a promise of no cellular fees, this is the first truly mobile electronic reading device. The only problem I see is the price tag of four hundred dollars but this has not stop some people from coughing up the big bucks considering there is already a waiting list. I have been reading electronic text for years utilizing Microsoft reader for pocket pc and never understood why this technology moved more into the mainstream. I hope that this new device will spark more interest in the realm of digital text and we can look forward to some new less expensive means for delivery to the public.

Reverend Dr. Jeremiah Wright

Here's another black man that's stuck in the 1960's Reverend Dr. Jeremiah Wright . I do love when these black ministers insist on adding the honorarium of Doctor to their title , it seems to inflate an already enlarged ego . I watched a video recently where he was addressing his congregation on Sept. 11 and whose fault it really was . Now I'm not writing this today about who was responsible for 9-11 , that I'll do at a latter date. However what strikes me as just a little ridiculous is how some people tend toward over simplifying the facts to make their point . During that particular sermon i watched Rev. Wright expose on how America had dropped the atom bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki . Then he continued on with how we supported Israeli terrorism and South African apartheid ' and then ends his sermon that instead of saying "God Bless America" that blacks should be saying "God Damn America" . I can't speak for everyone but I've never heard of a man of God use his name in a blasphemous way . An interesting note another high profile person used the dropping of the atom bombs on Japan to sanctify their actions and political beliefs .........Osama Bin Laden , in a video statement released just shortly after 9-11 . Now in the aftermath of these shocking statements Sen. Barrack Obama is trying to down play these accusations that Rev. Wright a man Sen. Obama said he considered a "Mentor" made in the past . Sen. Obama said in an interview recently that he did not agree with Rev. Wrights firey statements and that had he heard them he would have walked out . I'm not writing this to endorse a particular candidate , but i find it troubling to think that Sen. Obama may win the highest political office in America and through his affiliation with Rev. Wright may or may not have a chip on his shoulder for white people in America .

Another bailout from the Federal Reserve cooperation

Just last week alone we have witnessed some very disturbing news on Wall Street. The first of course is the price of crude oil at yet another record-breaking high of one hundred one dollars a barrel. This roughly translates to about an extra twenty cents a gallon more at the pump. Then the announcement of Bear Stearns Corporation's fifty point seven million dollar loss and bail out from competitor J.P. Morgan and the Federal Reserve. More disturbing still is a statement made from President Bush that everything is all right, and to keep the federal government out of the impending financial doomsday. In addition, late Friday we get the news that the Federal Reserve will again cut interest rates next week. The coming economic Armageddon is at hand, so use some common sense when it come to you personal finances, and also do not listen to the moron in the white house when he tells you to look away as the financial house of cards begins to crumble.

United Nations Biase

I once heard a slogan that went like this " Get the U.S. out of the U.N. and the U.N. out of the U.S. " , it's a snappy line and one i happen to agree with . Here's a perfect example of why i have no love for the United Nations . In 2001 in South Africa the U.N. organized and financed what was then called the " Durban Conference " , whose main theme was " Death to Jews , Israel and America ." So virulent was the animosity the then secretary of state Colin L. Powell ordered the U.S. delegation to walk out of the conference . Now the U.N. plans another conference , the site of which has not been determined yet . So far only Canada has decided to boycott this event , the U.S. however always eager to be politically correct will attend what can only be considered an " Anti-American Pep Rally " . So this is the organization that's supposed to be working for the betterment of all humanity . An organization that gets kick backs from the oil for food program in Iraq and whose peace keepers rape women and young girls in Africa . An organization that moves at a snails pace to address the problem of genocide in Darfur , or delivers badly needed food and medicine to millions of sick and starving people , but does nothing about the corrupt governments that allow there people to suffer . What makes me shake my head in wonder is the fact that the United States pays in membership fees over five billion dollars a year to be apart of that biased group .

A thought of your own

A very hard subject to comprehend in today's modern world. We have all been constantly bombarded with so much media and advertising to the point of almost complete erasure of individual thought, creativity, and feelings. We are mindless, thoughtless, lemmings easily controlled to believe anything we are told. The media masters are aware of this fact and wile this power like an all seeing, all knowing, omnipotent god. We are told every second of the day what to buy. We are told every second of the day what to eat. We are even told what to feel. Most of us will never fathom this concept of complete immersion in this media propaganda paradox. However, this is all true and you all know it. How many people do you know, that cannot sleep unless the television is on? How many of you will not leave the house without your IPod? How many televisions are in your household? How much do television do you watch in a day? Answer these questions truthfully and a lot of you will be surprised. We waste so much time being told what to do that we cannot find the time to do what we are told. This is designed to keep you off balance and to put before you unattainable goals. A consent silent whip cracked across your back to keep you working and to never question authority. Working for what is popular at the moment with not a care in the world. Just as the media masters have planned for us to be, nothing but consumers.

The Bank Job

This movie reminded me of the Italian Job except this film is based on an actual robbery that took place in London England in the early 1970's . I was a Little disappointed with the fact that Jason Stratham was not doing a lot of his signature martial arts . However in this film he showed that his acting ability is just as good as his fighting skills . The main plot of the film seems to deal with some incriminating photos of a British royal in the Caribbean , that were taken by a black militant who stylizes himself after Malcolm X . He then tries to use the photos to blackmail the British government . It's at that time the British government hires a group of professional thieves to steal the photos which happen to be secured in a safe deposit box .

Fear and loathing the water supply

The EPA announced last week that the water supply in forty-nine major cities in the United States is contaminated with pharmaceutical drugs. The drugs are not only introduced by flushing pills but also by solid waste. The types of drugs vary from antibiotics to anti-seizure medication. So far, the tests come back as only a trace. However, when you consider the amount of prescription medication on the market and factor in population growth, in time this can become a serious health concern.

New Surveillance Camera

Yesterday a British company Thruvision introduced a new surveillance camera the T-5000 . This camera which uses "passive imaging technology" can spot objects on someones person from up to 80 feet away by picking up the electromagnetic rays also known as Terahertz rays that those objects emit . These items include metallic and non metallic objects . The camera can also detect objects on someone whether they're stationary or moving . The basis of this new technology is that all people and objects emit some amount of low level electromagnetic radiation . Terahertz rays fall on the electromagnetic spectrum between infrared and microwave .

Bush vetoes water-boarding ban

Like this news is a surprise. The Republicans' dangerous stay the course plan is in full swing. Torture and murder are acceptable when clearing land for the so-called chosen ones and, President Bush is just following orders given by his Israeli masters. To hell with what the Americans wish, we are just paying the bills. Furthermore, this dogmatic situation will not end with the election of a new president. Because every presidential hopeful has been bought and paid for by the ultra powerful Jewish lobby long before we ever heard of them.

Black Face ?

Here's another example of the black race taking itself more seriously than it should . In August a new comedy is slated to be released . This movie called Tropic Thunder which stars Ben Stiller , Jack Black , and Robert Downey Jr. is about these three directors who get rid of their overpaid actors and try to do the film themselves . The big controversy is that Robert Downey Jrs. character is black . Now suddenly you have black special interest groups crying foul , as though Robert Downeys character he portrays somehow might sully , demean , or otherwise belittle the black race . IT'S A MOVIE GET OVER IT ! This isn't the 1920's , his not portraying this character in "black face" which is degrading . This is just another example of the black race with there " victim mentality " . I've watched black comedians make fun of whites , and seen movies where blacks are seen as caring , thoughtful , and insightful . While whites in the same films are portrayed as ignorant , uneducated , and racist stereotypes . Yet you don't see the white race getting bent out of shape over these things . Now i can't speak for all , but i believe most whites don't get upset because they see it for what it is ..... a form of entertainment .

Rescission or Depression

Webster's dictionary definition of the word rescission is the rescinding of something, or the act of rescinding something. Webster's dictionary definition of the word depression is sadness, a psychiatric disorder, an economic slump, reduced activity, hollow, and a low-pressure area. So are we using the word rescission to describe the worst economic disaster in America's history? Well I will tell you so every collage graduate can understand it. On the other hand, I think Mr. Webster already did.

10,000 B.C.

For once I'm going to go easy on this review . It's kinda hard to tear down a popcorn flick . This movie had good special effects and believable acting , which i think is due to Roland Emmerichs directing . This doesn't make up for his movie Godzilla but it goes along way toward it . I guess my only real complaint is the story line . It reminded me to much of the first Conan movie except not as much sorcery . Also the ending was just a little to contrived for me . Other than that it wasn't a bad action movie at all . I'll buy the DVD when it comes out .

Navy Sailor Found Guilty

Yesterday U.S. Navy seaman Paul R. Hall was convicted of passing sensitive Navy documents to those who are sympathetic with radical Islam . Mr. Hall who changed his name to Hassan Abu-Jihaad when he converted to Islam had passed along information on ship deployment , and formation . You know this is why i feel the way i do about the " one true faith ". Since Sept. 11th many different aspects of Islam have come to light . One being that the only difference between radical and moderate is that one believes that the end times will come eventually threw a clash between Muslim , Christian , and Jew . While the other group believes the same , they want that conflagration of hostilities to begin now . That's why when you see on the news another suicide bombing you don't hear any cries of indignation from moderate Muslims , because according to their belief system this violence is preordained to happen anyway . This is not a religion of peace . With this duality of belief means that any Muslim could potentially be a terrorist . I believe the American government is foolish in not taking a stronger stance on Muslims entering the country . Always trying to appease them , all the while they pray for your eventual destruction . Its not just America , but in Europe as well . The United Kingdom is all but impotent in the face of Muslim immigration , and two years ago they paid the price for it . France as well . Riots in that country last year left several cities a flame . If nations continue to kowtow to the followers of Islam they may wake up one morning and find their country taken over and their freedoms a memory .

It’s Comcastic

The Internet giant Comcast is turning up the heat on subscribers by packet sniffing their routers for information about Internet TV and VOIP usage. This news comes at a time when Internet savvy users are looking for alternative means for television and phone services due to a sluggish economy. In addition, there are some good deals out there, but what good will it be if your Internet service provider denies access to them. When I pay a service to provide me information, do not tell me how to use it.

Super Tuesday

God i hate politics ! Democrat or Republican , if you're stupid enough to buy what they're selling , then you get what you deserve . The same promises that candidates make today were the same ones made over 20 years ago . Yet the majority of you out there continue to vote according to party lines , if for no other reason than that was the way your parents voted . To me that kind of cheapens the power of the vote . Take a good hard look at the candidates . Aside from a couple of points neither side is really any different . Neither side is willing to enforce the immigration laws that are already on the books ( it's a shame when corporations and not gov. determine policy . ) , nor are they willing to cut taxes ( it's hard to cut taxes when you live in a country of entitlements . ) , nor are they willing to balance the budget ( see entitlements ) . Yet you continue to vote the way your parents did , or because that's the way your union wants you to vote . In recent years I've heard people talking of a need for a third party . That sounds great , and despite what some people know America has more than just a two party system . There are smaller political entities in this country , they just don't have the financial backing to compete with the Democrats and Republicans . I'm just afraid that if a third party could rise to the fore that eventually it be just as corrupt . I think the best way to effect change in government is for you the American voter to demand more from your elected leaders , and to hold them responsible . I think people forget the fact that the politicians work for you , not the other way around .

Death of the HD-DVD

After the announcement last month, that Netflix will only provide the Sony Blu-ray to their subscribers. The eight major Hollywood movie studios also released statements that they were pulling away from the HD-DVD format. I personally hate to see this happen. Not only does this news affect the people who have already bought the HD-DVD players and the Xbox 360, but the loss of competition in the still new high definition market.

The Violence in Gaza continues

Israeli troops have killed sixty Palestinian soldiers and civilians in the West bank and the Gaza strip this week alone. This latest militant strike is retaliation for last week's missile attack that killed one Israeli soldier. Of course, this cast a dark cloud over President Bush's peace plan to be in place before leaving office. In addition, this seriously jeopardizes United States current position in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Roger Clemens Revised

Define stupidity ? The U.S. Congress asking the FBI to investigate discrepancies in Roger Clemens testimony . Never mind the fact that the FBI has better things to do with its time . Like pursuing murderers , kidnappers , pedophiles , and rapist . No now they have to divert resources to investigate statements made by an overweight , overpaid baseball player . This is the same congress the American people pleaded with to secure the southern border of the United States and dragged its feet , the same congress that the 911 commission asked to enact their recommendations and still they drug their feet . But now when there's the possibility of perjury of a baseball player , congress moved faster to employ the FBI's help than they did in voting themselves a new raise .
