That's right they don't care a whit what you think -- you know why? -- cuz you're a dumbass, that's why. These people need to be defeated in their next election.

Now get out there and DEFEAT these traitors in the next election

My Senators are:
Elizabeth Dole (who voted AGAINST amnesty every vote)
Richard Burr (who voted FOR amnesty on every vote but the final cloture vote)
I faxed Senator Burr about 5-6 times during this fight -- urging him to come to his gd senses. I faxed Senator Dole twice -- thanking her for her votes.
In the end, I faxed them both -- thanking them for voting against amnesty. I have to tell you though -- I don't think I'm going to vote for Senator Burr again -- unless he does something drastic between now and his election. Someone voting to support amnesty for illegal aliens is a gd idiot -- period. .

From Drudge: Apple Juice Tantrum Causes Plane To Make Emergency Landing

A child's tantrum onboard a Delta commuter flight forced a pilot to make an emergency landing at Philadelphia International Airport.

A 4-year-old wanted apple juice and when the stewardess didn't get it quick enough, the child threw a tantrum, NBC 10 reported

The Delta commuter flight landed around 5 p.m. Tuesday.

The flight originated in New York and was headed to North Carolina before the incident.

Passengers were spending the night in Philadelphia, NBC 10 reported.

Authorities said there would be no charges filed in the incident.
----------------------------------
No charges filed? OK -- let me get this straight -- YOU decide not to teach your little libtard any manners or discipline -- and then I have to pay (by being delayed on my flight - missing business, etc) when the charges come due ... and nobody says a gd word. I hope the parents get run over by bus that was hijacked by another spoiled rotten libtard.

Huh? Fuel shortage in Iran ??

From Drudge:

At least 12 petrol stations have been torched in the Iranian capital, Tehran, after the government announced fuel rationing for private vehicles.

Iranians were given only two hours' notice of the move that limits private drivers to 33 gallons of fuel a month. Despite its huge energy reserves, Iran lacks refining capacity and it imports about 40% of its petrol.

The country has a large budget deficit largely caused by fuel subsidies and the inflation rate is estimated at 20-30%.

Inflation at 20-30%? -- HOLY McSHIT. That kind of thing gets politicians booted out of office --- you know -- in a real democracy.

And LMAO @ no refining capacity -- and they don't even have liberal morons stopping them from building refineries -- you know -- like we have in the U.S.

Current FCC Chairman James Quello, though, has stated that, "The fairness doctrine doesn't belong in a country that's dedicated to freedom of the press and freedom of speech." (Doug Halonen, "Twelve to Watch in 1993," Electronic Media, January 25, 1993, p. 66.)

I guess he figures he isn't up for re-election until 2010, so he's safe. Perhaps he figures everyone will forget. Perhaps he doesn't plan to run again.

Why would a politician vote for this bill when the American people are so clearly against it?

And nevermind ONE senator -- I'm talking about half -- or slightly more than half.

Why would a politician spend $10,000,000 running for an office that only pays $160,000?

Together, Bowles and his Republican opponent U.S. Rep. Richard Burr have spent more than $20 million on a race rife with negative ads and one polls call a dead heat going into the election.

I think the answers to both of those questions are somehow related. And I think these lowlifes are selling us down the river and laughing the entire time.

At least Senator Dole keeps voting against the bill (and cloture) every time there is a vote. I sent her a thank you note.

Gang violence is gun shop's fault

From CBS:

CHICAGO (AP) - Jesse Jackson has been arrested at an anti-gun protest in suburban Chicago.

Jackson and other community activists have held several protests in the last month at Chuck's Gun Shop in Riverdale, Illinois. They contend the gun shop's close proximity to Chicago provides gang members and criminals easy access to firearms.

Police were called Saturday afternoon amid complaints that demonstrators were blocking the store's entrance.

A police statement says Jackson and a Catholic priest from Chicago's South Side are charged with criminal trespass after refusing requests to move away from entrance.

War for oil finally pays off - D'OH

From Drudge:

Baghdad has revived a contract signed by the Saddam Hussein administration allowing a state-owned Chinese oil company to develop an Iraqi oil field, the Iraqi oil minister told the Financial Times in Beijing on Friday.

Hussein al-Shahristani also said Baghdad welcomed Chinese oil company bids for any other contract in the country through a “fair and transparent bidding process” to be laid out in the new oil law under discussion in Iraq’s parliament.

China National Petroleum Corporation, the country’s largest oil company and the parent of listed group Petrochina, signed a deal with Iraq in 1997 to develop the al-Ahdab oil field. The field is one of the first to be offered to foreign investors since the 2003 US-led invasion.

US actress Cameron Diaz has apologised for wearing a bag with a political slogan that evoked painful memories in Peru.

The voice of Princess Fiona in the animated Shrek films visited the Incan city of Machu Picchu in Peru's Andes wearing an olive green bag emblazoned with a red star and the words "Serve the People", perhaps Chinese Communist leader Mao Zedong's most famous political slogan, printed in Chinese.

The bags are marketed as fashion accessories in some cities around the world, but in Peru the slogan evokes memories of the Maoist Shining Path insurgency that fought the government in the 1980s and early 1990s in a bloody conflict that left nearly 70,000 people dead.

"I sincerely apologise to anyone I may have inadvertently offended," Diaz said in a statement. "The bag was a purchase I made as a tourist in China and I did not realise the potentially hurtful nature of the slogan printed on it."

One prominent Peruvian human rights activist said Diaz should have been a little more aware of local sensitivities when picking her accessories.

WTF is wrong with these people??

'Mile-wide UFO' spotted

One of the largest UFOs ever seen has been observed by the crew and passengers of an airliner over the Channel Islands.

An official air-miss report on the incident several weeks ago appears in Pilot magazine.

Aurigny Airlines captain Ray Bowyer, 50, flying close to Alderney first spotted the object, described as "a cigar-shaped brilliant white light".
As the plane got closer the captain viewed it through binoculars and said: "It was a very sharp, thin yellow object with a green area.

"It was 2,000ft up and stationary. I thought it was about 10 miles away, although I later realised it was approximately 40 miles from us. At first, I thought it was the size of a [Boeing] 737.

"But it must have been much bigger because of how far away it was. It could have been as much as a mile wide."

Continuing his approach to Guernsey, Bowyer then spied a "second identical object further to the west".

He said: "It was exactly the same but looked smaller because it was further away. It was closer to Guernsey. I can't explain it. This was clearly visual for about nine minutes.

"I'm certainly not saying that it was something of another world. All I'm saying is that I have never seen anything like it before in all my years of flying."

The sightings were confirmed by passengers Kate and John Russell. John, 74, said: "I saw an orange light. It was like an elongated oval."

The sightings were also confirmed by an unnamed pilot with the Blue Islands airline.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Home Depot fires man for stopping shoplifters

Video here:

Let me ask you something -- Do you know why would Home Depot fire this guy?

Answer -- afraid of being sued. Here's what the lawyers would say if something went wrong there.

1 - They would dismiss out of hand that it was the criminal's fault.
2 - They would criminalize the hero by saying he didn't follow the rules (handbook.) The reason this is in the handbook is because they (or another company) were already sued under the same or similar circumstances.
3 - Idiot juries allow themselves to be convinced that convoluted logic is still logic.
4 - During his trial they would be allowed to shield the fact that this shoplifter has prior convictions (and probably many prior arrests etc.)
5 - They would say the company "knew or should have known" that it might be a dangerous situation and therefore should have called in their "trained personnel."

In other words -- the company better not do much about it. Believe me, if they had notified their "trained personnel" the criminals would probably have gotten away. If not, the "trained personnel" wouldn't have done a damn thing except call police. You know why? Because their "trained personnel" aren't trained to apprehend criminals -- they're only trained to be sure the company isn't sued for anything that happens in the situation. If you're a cop and Home depot calls about a shoplifter, I doubt you'll be in much of a hurry to get there -- considering that if you hurry and someone gets hurt -- you'll be fired and sued.

The fact is, being sued in MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE than letting the criminal escape.

1 - Criminal escapes with a huge TV set? -- Cost $2,000.
2 - Company gets sued: Cost? Fuhhgetaboutit!

See - This is the trouble with you humans

Travolta Echoes Cruise on Psychiatry
YORK (AP) - John Travolta says his thinking is in line with fellow Scientologist Tom Cruise, who has publicly defended the religion's stance against psychiatry and the pharmaceutical industry.

Cruise, during a famously heated debate on NBC's "Today" show in 2005, criticized Brooke Shields for taking anti-depression drugs and berated host Matt Lauer for suggesting that psychiatric treatment might help some patients.

"I don't disagree with anything Tom says," Travolta says in the July issue of W magazine, on newsstands Friday. "How would I have presented it? Maybe differently than how he did, but it doesn't matter. I still think that if you analyze most of the school shootings, it is not gun control. It is (psychotropic) drugs at the bottom of it."

Yes -- and the Klown agrees. I'll address the topic of "Psychiatry" another day but for now I'll just make a couple of comments about school shootings.
1 - Zero discipline in schools - teachers made helpless by liberal politicians/media.
2 - Zero discipline at home - parents made helpless by liberal politicians/media.
3 - Parents paralyzed by Dr Spock, the liberal media, and myrmidon friends.
4 - Psychotropic drugs for the kids (in place of self discipline)

'You're fired,' man hears after saving a woman's life
The 24-year-old grabbed a gun before going to help his neighbor who had been shot.

When a neighbor screamed she'd been shot, Colin Bruley grabbed his shotgun, found the victim and began treating her bloodied right leg.

Tonnetta Lee survived Tuesday's pre-dawn shooting at her Jacksonville apartment, and her sister and a neighbor praised Bruley's actions. But his employers, the same people who own the Arlington complex where Bruley lives, reacted differently. They fired him.

Neighbor Kevin Courson joined Bruley at the crime scene when he saw Bruley had a gun for protection. Courson said he is incensed by the dismissal.

"Here was a guy trying to do a good deed. He wasn't trying to hurt nobody," said Courson, 31.

Yes ladies and gentlemen -- greedy-assed lawyers and activist judges and jackass politicians (most of which are lawyers) have brought America to her knees. Corporations are so afraid of being sued they are literally frozen in inaction. And anyone who takes action must be fired.

WASHINGTON - President Bush and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Tuesday sought to bolster Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in his battle with Hamas for primacy, calling him a moderate voice and the only true leader of the Palestinian people.

Bush and Olmert, before meeting in the Oval Office, both spoke positively to reporters of the prospect for new talks between Abbas and the Israelis.

“I am going to make every possible effort to cooperate with him,” the prime minister said. Bush called Abbas “the president of all the Palestinians” and “a reasonable voice amongst the extremists.”

Before noon, two civilians were killed during a protest held in Gaza City under the banner “Stop the Killing.” Some 1,000 Palestinians marched in the city, calling for an end to the fighting, but when they approached a Hamas position, militants fired at the protesters, killing two.

Large teams of newly trained suicide bombers are being sent to the United States and Europe, according to evidence contained on a new videotape obtained by the Blotter on ABCNews.com.

Teams assigned to carry out attacks in the United States, Canada, Great Britain and Germany were introduced at an al Qaeda/Taliban training camp graduation ceremony held June 9.

A Pakistani journalist was invited to attend and take pictures as some 300 recruits, including boys as young as 12, were supposedly sent off on their suicide missions.

The tape shows Taliban military commander Mansoor Dadullah, whose brother was killed by the U.S. last month, introducing and congratulating each team as they stood.

"These Americans, Canadians, British and Germans come here to Afghanistan from faraway places," Dadullah says on the tape. "Why shouldn't we go after them?"

The leader of the team assigned to attack Great Britain spoke in English.

"So let me say something about why we are going, along with my team, for a suicide attack in Britain," he said. "Whether my colleagues, companions and Muslim brothers die today or tonight, every drop of our blood will invigorate the Muslim (unintelligible)."

U.S. intelligence officials described the event as another example of "an aggressive and sophisticated propaganda campaign."

Negotiation with terrorists, liberals, other idiots

Gaaaaa -- who could have predicted this? Liberals are always very shocked and surprised when you tell them this fable.

The story of the frog and the scorpion has been cited everywhere from discussions of mid-east terrorism to the movie The Crying Game.

In the story, a scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back.

The frog asks, "How do I know you won't sting me?" The scorpion says, "Because if I do, I will die too."

The frog is satisfied, and they set out, but in midstream, the scorpion stings the frog. The frog feels the onset of paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both will drown, but has just enough time to gasp "Why?" Replies the scorpion: "Its my nature..."
Please note that the story does not portray a prisoner's dilemma. The frog has absolutely nothing to gain by carrying the scorpion across, and is therefore a foolish altruist, proving the truth of the adage, "No good deed goes unpunished."

Paying taxes is a pleasurable duty

Paying taxes feels good, say researchers.

The surprising discovery, based on brain scans, can also predict which people are most likely to donate cash to charity.

Bill Harbaugh at the University of Oregon in Eugene, US, and colleagues gave 19 female university students $100, and told them some of this money would have to go towards taxes.

Each volunteer then read some tax scenarios involving $0 to $45 in taxes, knowing that one of the scenarios would be selected at random and the related amount be subtracted from their $100.

Secret pleasure
As the participants viewed the tax scenarios, their brains were scanned using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Surprisingly, whenever the students read the taxation scenarios, scientists saw a spike in activity within two of the brain's reward centres – the nucleus accumbens and caudate nucleus.

MTV goes green

Following its Staying Alive Aids campaign, MTV Networks International Wednesday unveiled its latest public service onslaught.

MTV Switch hopes to persuade the world's youth to cut their carbon emissions and help save the planet by launching an initiative aimed at "slowing the acceleration of global warming."

The campaign, backed by such celebrities as Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Good Charlotte, Enrique Iglesias, Shaggy and Rufus Wainwright, hopes to reach a potential audience of 1.5 billion people.

"The statistics are staggering. If less than 1% of our total potential viewing audience -- roughly one million people -- switches to three energy efficient light bulbs, this would be equivalent to taking 100,000 cars off the road."

Separatist graduations proliferate at UCLA.
Let the Segregation Commence

Commencement weekend is hard to plan at the University of California, Los Angeles. The university now has so many separate identity-group graduations that scheduling them not to conflict with one another is a challenge. The women’s studies graduation and the Chicana/Chicano studies graduation are both set for 10 AM Saturday. The broader Hispanic graduation, “Raza,” is in near-conflict with the black graduation, which starts just an hour later.

Planning was easier before a new crop of ethnic groups pushed for inclusion. Students of Asian heritage were once content with the Asian–Pacific Islanders ceremony. But now there are separate Filipino and Vietnamese commencements, and some talk of a Cambodian one in the future. Years ago, UCLA sponsored an Iranian graduation, but the school’s commencement office couldn’t tell me if the event was still around. The entire Middle East may yet be a fertile source for UCLA commencements.

Alaskan “Bear Farm”: Former Science Teacher Tamed Wild Bear!

That’s Charlie "Bear Man" Vandergaw, a 68-year-old former science teacher who tamed wild bears in Alaska by plying them with food!

Vandergaw says his relationship with bears dated to his retirement from teaching in 1985. Over the years he has fed bears, befriended bears, nursed injured bears back to health, and allowed bears inside his cabin; now it is not unusual to find several black and brown bears lounging around his "Bear Farm" yard on any given day.

If the bears didn’t get him in the end, the law may:

As of April 2007, Alaska news sources reported that the state attorney general’s office was considering bringing criminal and civil actions against Vandergaw for his continuing to violate state laws by feeding wild bears.

You're a gd jackass, Nifong -- and after the bar is through with you, I hope these boys sue you for everything you have and everything you ever will have. I hope you lose hope -- the way these poor kids did -- only I hope you do the honorable thing, Nifong -- like the Japanese -- capisce?

UPDATE:
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Facing the loss of his law license, a tearful Mike Nifong said Friday he will resign as district attorney, more than a year after he obtained rape indictments against three Duke University lacrosse players who were later declared innocent by state prosecutors.
"My community has suffered enough," Nifong said from the witness stand at his ethics trial.

Surrendering soldiers killed - World outraged

Oh -- wait -- nevermind -- there is no outrage. There is only outrage whenever the United States is involved --- right? -- communist news media assholes?

A resident of a Hamas-dominated neighborhood, identifying himself only as Yousef for fear of reprisal by his neighbors, said Gazans would always back the winner, regardless of ideology.

"Today everybody is with Hamas because Hamas won the battle. If Fatah had won the battle they'd be with Fatah. We are a hungry people, we are with whoever gives us a bag of flour and a food coupon," said Yousef, 30. "Me, I'm with God and a bag of flour."

Fatah officials, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of retribution, said Hamas fatally shot seven Fatah fighters after they had surrendered. A doctor at Shifa Hospital said he examined two bodies that had been shot in the head at close range.

"The era of justice and Islamic rule has arrived," Hamas spokesman Islam Shahawan announced.

CAIR = Piece of shit terrorists

From Ace:
(For those that don't know -- CAIR = Council on American/Islamic Relations. They claim to be a charitable group -- non-violent etc. Their asses show up all over news interviews and talk shows etc -- sick making really.)
-------------------------------

Recent tax filings reveal an Islamist group that claims to speak for millions of Muslims in America actually boasts just 1,700 members. So whose interests does it really represent?
There's been surprisingly little transparency about the financing of the top Muslim lobby in Washington — the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Until recently, few in the media have bothered to investigate.

Since spinning off from Hamas front group Islamic Association for Palestine in 1994, CAIR has maintained it's a "grass-roots organization" — a "Muslim NAACP" — supported by members who pay dues. It repeatedly has denied receiving foreign funding.

These claims are no longer operative, however, and mainstream media and politicians who cozy up to the group should take note.

Citing IRS records, the Washington Times reports that CAIR has suffered a whopping 90% decline in membership since 9/11. Its official number of members shrank to 1,700 last year from 29,000 in 2000. As a result, CAIR's annual income from dues sank to $59,000 from $733,000.

Yet over the same period, CAIR's revenues have bounded ahead, reaching $3 million last year. Meanwhile, it has managed to open 25 new chapters in major cities across the country.

So where's it getting its money?

Tax records show the group is relying on some two dozen deep-pocketed donors for support. Who are they? We don't know. By law, CAIR doesn't have to publicly disclose them, and they're blacked out on IRS disclosure forms.

But land records unearthed by Paul Sperry, author of "Infiltration: How Muslim Spies and Subversives Have Penetrated Washington," show that exactly one year after 9/11 — as its dues were drying up — CAIR signed over the deed to its Washington headquarters to a United Arab Emirates-based foundation headed by the ruler of Dubai.

Sheikh Mohammed Al-Maktoum's foundation put up almost $1 million for the property, and recently pledged $50 million more to help CAIR build larger headquarters, replenish its legal war chest and fund a nationwide pro-Islam propaganda campaign.

The New York Times earlier this year confirmed that "wealthy Persian Gulf governments" — including the UAE and Saudi Arabia — were backing CAIR. "CAIR has raised some suspicion by accepting large donations from individuals or foundations closely identified with Arab governments," the story said.

We also know from federal court records that CAIR received startup cash from the Holy Land Foundation, which the government has shut down as another Hamas front. Several of its founders — including a senior CAIR official — go on trial next month in Texas for allegedly funneling millions to Hamas for suicide-bomb operations.

U.S. prosecutors have named CAIR as "unindicted co-conspirators" in the terror case.

Every Red Eye Episode...Evah!
—Jack M.
If you are like me (and, God willing, you aren't) you just can't get enough of the television experience that is "Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld". It's like stalking hobos for sexual release: you just can't stop after enjoying it once.

So, assuming you are like me, you worry that you might miss an episode! After all, with it's 2:00 AM EST time slot, and the ever changing seasonal migration of the homeless to the local Greyhound station, it is not always possible to stay up to watch it.

To allay this concern, I have consolidated a handy-dandy "transcript" of an episode that never actually aired so that, should you accidentally miss an episode, you can still get your "fake but accurate" fix. From the Gut's "Geraldo Rivera" like BOOMING VOICE to the incredible androgenous sexual tension between Bill and Greg and the incredible vapidity of D-list guests like Samantha Judge, all your favorite "Red Eye" moments are here.

I hope this provides you with as much comfort as it has provided me on those nights when the cable is out and the hobos are too fast.

Iran moves to execute porn stars


TEHRAN, Iran (AP) -- Iran's parliament on Wednesday voted in favor of a bill that could lead to death penalty for persons convicted of working in the production of pornographic movies.

With a 148-5 vote in favor and four abstentions, lawmakers present at the Wednesday session of the 290-seat parliament approved that "producers of pornographic works and main elements in their production are considered corruptors of the world and could be sentenced to punishment as corruptors of the world."

The term, "corruptor of the world" is taken from the Quran, the Muslims' holy book, and ranks among the highest on the scale of an individual's criminal offenses. Under Iran's Islamic Penal Code, it carries a death penalty.

Jackasses need funding - do concert

From Drudge:
Courtesy British Antarctic Survey

Yeah -- right, shitbags. You get your money from the government to study that shithole -- so you can commune with penguins or whatever you birkies do down there ... so you wanna do a concert to draw attention to your plight. "Live Earth" -- oh god -- gimmee a dollar. The Klown sayeth -- get a real job and get off my payroll.

In an effort to fulfill his promise of a concert on every continent for his “Live Earth” event on July 7 to 8, Al Gore approached the British Antarctic Survey in February to explore the possibility of flying a band in to its Rothera Research Station in Antarctica.

No, he was told, July is mid-winter in Antarctica, and no planes or boats can get in or out.

But all was not lost. BAS officials told Gore that a band was already in place on the South Pole. BAS press representative Linda Capper told blogger Tim Slagle, “We have a house band — five of our science team. They are very good indie rock-folk fusion. The remaining 17 will be the audience on location.”

They’ve never played in front of an audience. To make matters worse, the band, named after a Greenlandic word for “summit,” will be playing outside on the ice, where temperatures could be as low as minus ten degrees Celsius. One of their colleagues will film the performance for broadcast on TV and the Internet.

Priorities

Ow Ow -- can we fight back?

This is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard.

The Klown says "if you need to ask if you can fight back -- you're prolly doomed."


GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Hamas gunmen captured the headquarters of the Fatah-allied security forces in northern Gaza, seizing control of a key prize in the bloody power struggle between the sides, Hamas and Fatah officials said.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas of Fatah said Tuesday's fighting amounted to a coup attempt by the Islamic militants.

Hamas attacked the compound with mortars and automatic gunfire, and after several hours of battle, seized control, said Hamas commander Wael al-Shakra. A Fatah security official confirmed the building had been lost. He said at least 10 people were killed and 30 wounded.

Security commanders loyal to Abbas complained they were not given clear orders to fight back at a time when Hamas appeared to be moving forward according to a plan.

Abbas' Fatah movement was to meet later in the day to decide whether to pull out of his shaky coalition with Hamas. Calls by Abbas and exasperated Egyptian mediators for a cease-fire went unheeded.

Instead, Hamas and Fatah militants threatened to kill each other's leaders. In Gaza, a rocket-propelled grenade damaged the home of Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas but caused no injuries in what Hamas said was an attempted assassination. In the West Bank, Fatah gunmen kidnapped a deputy Cabinet minister from Hamas.

Hamas gunmen also exchanged fire with Fatah forces at the southern security headquarters in the southern town of Khan Younis, but had not yet launched a major assault. The town's streets were empty as people huddled indoors.

Col. Nasser Khaldi, a Fatah commander in southern Gaza, confirmed his men were on the defensive. Khaldi said Abbas, the leader of Fatah, must give orders now to fight back.

"There is a weakness of our leaders," he said. "Hamas is just taking over our positions. There are no orders."

Pro-Fatah forces attacked the Hamas-run Al-Aqsa TV and radio stations in Gaza City after security officials said they received orders to stop the broadcasts. Shortly after the attack, they started broadcasting pro-Fatah songs, a sign the security forces had taken control.

Hamas and Fatah have been locked in a violent power struggle since Hamas defeated Fatah in January 2006 legislative elections, ending four decades of Fatah rule.

The sides agreed to share power in an uneasy coalition three months ago, but put off key disputes, including control of the security forces. Most are dominated by Fatah loyalists, while Hamas has formed its own militia, in addition to the thousands of gunmen at its command.

The infighting has grown increasingly brutal. Some of those killed were shot execution-style or hit in shootouts that turned hospitals into battle grounds, while others were thrown from rooftops. Residents huddled indoors, and university exams were canceled.

The head of the Egyptian mediation team, Lt. Col. Burhan Hamad, said neither side responded to his call to hold truce talks. "It seems they don't want to come. We must make them ashamed of themselves. They have killed all hope. They have killed the future," said Hamad, who brokered several previous short-lived cease-fires.

Hamad said both sides were about equal in firepower. "Neither can have a decisive victory," he said. "To be decisive, they need weapons that neither side has."

Communist infighting

From Drudge:

WITH KATIE COURIC doing the "Evening News," CBS has been "dumbing it down, tarting it up," Dan Rather said yesterday, bashing his unsuccessful successor in the anchor chair.

When Rather retired two years ago - possibly under pressure - the "Evening News" had fallen to a distant third place in network viewership.

After initial excitement about Couric's move from her spot as co-host of NBC's "Today" show to the nightly news, the broadcast quickly slipped again to trail its competitors.

Talking via phone to Joe Scarborough on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Rather described Couric as a "nice person" - then let her have it.

Speculating on the program's declining ratings, Rather said, "The mistake was to try to bring the 'Today' show ethos to the 'Evening News' and to dumb it down - tart it up in hopes of attracting a younger audience."

Then in a kinder vein, he said Couric "tried to change networks, which is always difficult, and change the programs at the same time." Then he opened fire again.

He said the program "trend line" continues to lean toward excessive and overdone celebrity coverage.

Rather said he'd prefer to see the show give more time to the war in Iraq, which he called "a strategic catastrophe of historic proportions."Leo Standora

Australian Police have been unable to recommend a prosecution for the following scam:

After several weeks, the company writes back explaining that under the present law they are unable to supply the materials and do not wish to be prosecuted. So they return their customers money in the form of a company check.

However, due to the name of the company, few people ever bother to present these to their banks. The name of the company is ‘The Anal Sex and Fetish Perversion Company’.

From Ace of Spades:

Harry Reid, Jedi Knight
—Ace

Don't believe me? Check the Jed Mind Trick in action:

You had to actually be at the press conference Reid, Durbin and others held yesterday afternoon on the cloture votes. It was entirely about blaming Bush for the bill’s stalling and calling him a failure hours before the final cloture vote had actually been held. When a few pesky reporters pointed out that Reid allowed a second vote on a Dorgan amendment that turned the tide against bill and that McConnell said that all they needed was more time to debate amendments, Reid snapped at the reporters.

Reid just didn’t respond to questions about whether he would ever bring the immigration bill up again or why not. He actually argued that a censure vote on AG Gonzales was a more urgent matter for the nation. When another reporter pressed him on Democrats opposed to cloture he cut the person off: “Let’s not focus on Democrats,” Reid said.

-------------------

The Mind Trick of course only works on the weak-minded. Such as the New York Times editorial board:

------------------

The NY SLIMES says:
The immigration compromise collapsed on the floor of the Senate Thursday night. Many of its hard-line foes are celebrating, but their glee is vindictive and hollow.... (Klown note: Your glee is vindictive and hollow -- assholes.)

But obstruction happened. Republican amendments, designed to shred the compromise, happened.

Jeff Sessions wanted to deprive legalized immigrants — yes, legal residents — of the earned income tax credit, a path out of poverty for millions. (Klown note -- but YOU pay for their path out of poverty.)

John Cornyn wanted to strip confidentiality protections for immigrants who apply for legal status, making them too frightened to leave the shadows.

Jim DeMint just wanted to kill the bill, so he voted for a volatile amendment whose substance he disagreed with. “If it hurts the bill, I’m for it,” he said.

Leadership was desperately needed to stop Republicans from dragging the bill off one of its pillars — the one that would put 12 million people on a path to legal status. It didn’t show up. Republicans who should have been holding their party and the deal together — President Bush, minority leader Mitch McConnell, Senator John Kyl — failed utterly.

The anti-immigrant hard-core — no amnesty today, no amnesty tomorrow, no amnesty ever — must not be allowed to hold the nation hostage. Like nativists of generations past, they think the country is being Latinized, and they fear it.... (Klown note: You fear it -- pussies -- hard-core -- "Nativists" -- asshats.)

But at least the NY SLIMES doesn't have any political agenda or bias:

Prison inmates escape
The man accused in the kidnapping plot of late-night talk show host David Letterman’s infant son escaped along with another inmate from Montana State Prison in Deer Lodge Friday afternoon.

Authorities are looking for Kelly Allen Frank, 45, and John Willcutt, 22, who were discovered missing around 4:20 p.m.

Frank was arrested in an alleged 2005 plot to abduct CBS Late Show host David Letterman’s son and the child’s nanny in Teton County. That charge was later dismissed and Frank was sentenced to 10 years in state prison on a lesser charge for overcharging the talk show host for painting work at his ranch.

The inmates, who were outside the prison on a work detail at the time, may have used a prison vehicle to escape from the prison grounds, according to Warden Mike Mahoney.

Willcutt was first reported missing by a supervisor about 4:20 p.m. After instituting a facility lockdown and counting inmates, prison officials also found Frank was missing. The missing inmates were working outside the prison fence under “indirect supervision” as part of a crew responsible for irrigating state-owned property located near the prison.

Scientist James Hansen has also admitted that he contributed to two recent Democratic presidential campaigns. Furthermore, he acted as a consultant in February to former Vice President Al Gore's slide show presentations on "global warming," which Gore presented around the country.

But Scott Pelley, the "60 Minutes" reporter who profiled Hansen and detailed his accusations of censorship on the March 19, edition of the newsmagazine, made no mention of Hansen's links to Kerry and Gore and none to the fact that Kerry's wife -- Teresa Heinz Kerry -- had been one of Hansen's benefactors.

The horror of racial profiling has even reached the idyllic Middle Eastern paradise of Lebanon. I blame Bush. Lebanon to Stop Issuing Visas-On-Arrival to Arabs.

Lebanon on Friday was reportedly considering stopping issuing entry visas to Arab citizens at the airport in a bid to prevent any terrorist infiltrations into the country.

The daily An Nahar said contacts in this regard were already underway between the Foreign Ministry and the General Directorate of the General Security Department. It said Arabs interested in visiting Lebanon would be asked to apply for visas at the Lebanese mission accredited in their countries.

The move comes after several citizens from various Arab nations suspected of having links with the terrorist groups Fatah al-Islam and al-Qaida have been detained in recent weeks.

Iranian minister backs brief marriages to stem illicit sex

Iran's Interior Minister, Mostafa Pour-Mohammadi, has started promoting temporary marriage as a solution to the country's social problems.

Shia Islam allows a man and woman to marry for a fixed period of time, ranging from an hour to a century.

A man can also have any number of temporary marriages - or sigheh, as they are known. Iran first started promoting temporary marriage as an alternative to living in sin 15 years ago.

The then President, Hashemi Rafsanjani, said it was a way for men and women to satisfy their sexual needs. However, Iranian society still looks down on temporary marriage as a cover for prostitution.

TIRANA, Albania, June 8 — The highlight of President Bush’s European tour may well be his visit on Sunday to this tiny country, one of the few places left where he can bask in unabashed pro-American sentiment without a protester in sight.
Americans here are greeted with a refreshing adoration that feels as though it comes from another time.

“Albania is for sure the most pro-American country in Europe, maybe even in the world,” said Edi Rama, Tirana’s mayor and leader of the opposition Socialists. “Nowhere else can you find such respect and hospitality for the president of the United States. Even in Michigan, he wouldn’t be as welcome.”

Petrone, a loser who hates fun, also told the kids they were not permitted to swim with the sharks, race the cheetahs, or punch the giraffes.

Senate tries to kick-start stalled immigration bill

Proponents of the immigration bill that stalled in the Senate regrouped Friday, holding strategy sessions and conference calls aimed at salvaging the overhaul.

“We are not giving up. We are not giving in,” Kennedy said.

Kyl said they “have already begun the process of figuring how to get this back together and concluded in the next few weeks.”

Frank Sharry, executive director of the National Immigration Forum, on Friday. “But I have to say that, after consulting with a variety of friends and allies on Capitol Hill and at the White House, we are much more optimistic of our chances of resurrecting the Senate bill.”

It seems the key Senate proponents – Kennedy, Kyl, Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) – haven’t lost their humor. They joked around Friday at a critic's expense.

“Is Sessions late again?” Specter asked the group as they waited to start a press conference, referring to Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), who played a major role in derailing the bill and would obviously not be joining them.

“No,” Kennedy responded, “he’s down there filing more amendments.”
