Shirley offers fix for bad parenting

Sterilize irresponsible moms, dads, he says

Charleston City Councilman Larry Shirley says the robbery of a downtown video store -allegedly by a band of kids, including one too young to be charged - is a sure sign society has gone awry, and it's time to start a "dialogue."

And one of the things he says needs to be talked about is whether bad parents should be sterilized.

"What we've got is a failure in society, whether it's in Mount Pleasant with yuppie parents or whether it's on the East Side with poor crackhead parents," Shirley said Friday. "We pick up stray animals and spay them. These mothers need to be spayed if they can't take care of theirs. ... Once they have a child and it's running the streets, to let them continue to have children is totally unacceptable." Deadbeat dads might ought to be sterilized as well, he said.

Hitler had an idea like this they called it Eugenics. It didn't go over too well.

He rushed back to the school, but the pack was gone. That was the money he planned to take on his next bi-monthly gambling trip to Las Vegas this week.

High School Confidential: Secrets of an Undercover Student

Do you want to find out what's really going on inside your child's High School? This will open your eyes and blow your mind.

Book Description

It's spring semester at Mirador High in Southern California, and twenty-four-year-old Jeremy Iversen is going deep undercover to deliver the real deal about the dull classes and fast times of American teens today.

Trading in his suit and tie for jeans and skater shoes, Iversen posed as a senior transfer student. He took six classes five days a week, dissected a cat, got sent to detention, hung out at the mall, signed yearbooks, and graduated in cap and gown. He infiltrated the homes of his teenage friends, met their parents, and went to their parties. For one entire semester, he led the life of a modern-day high school student -- and lived to tell all about it.

Going way beyond the usual clichés of jock and nerd, the book introduces readers to a revolving cast of fascinating characters from every walk of social life: promiscuous freshmen girls, lunchtime alcoholics, evangelical Christians, perfectionist drug dealers, masochistic vampires, steroid-raging baseball stars, and one principal who will stop at nothing to make her failing school look good.

In this fast-paced exposé, Jeremy Iversen blows the lid off a secret world in which the sexual revolution runs unchecked, where the use of recreational drugs is chronic, and where apathetic teachers don't even bother to teach. This Wild West wonderland, however, lives by strict unwritten rules and ultraconservative politics, creating a pressure cooker of conflict that's bound to explode. High School Confidential isn't confidential anymore.

Some Americans Believe Bush Acted to Reduce Gas Prices Ahead of the Elections

Welcome to Conspiracy Central.

Analysts scoff at the idea that the Bush administration -- or for that matter any White House -- could manipulate gas prices for political benefit, but a surprising number of Americans believe that's exactly what's behind the significant decline in prices at the pump. A new Gallup poll found that while 53 percent of those surveyed don't believe the Bush administration manipulated the price of gas so it would fall before the November elections, 42 percent agree with that conspiracy theory -- almost two-thirds of them Democrats.

White House spokesman Tony Snow spoke about the suggestion of manipulation yesterday, saying, "The one thing I have been amused by is the attempt by some people to say that the president has been rigging gas prices, which would give him the kind of magisterial clout unknown to any other human being. It also raises the question, if we're dropping gas prices now, why on earth did we raise them to $3.50 before?" When asked if it was possible that oil companies would reduce their prices to help Republicans, Energy Department analyst Joanne Shore told AP, "What company in their right mind would step forward to kill their profit?"

Analysts admit that the post-summer decline in gas prices has been steeper than usual, but say there's nothing sinister behind it. Before summer began, there were concerns about rising demand, the threat of hurricanes and the increasing rhetoric between the U.S. and Iran over Iran's nuclear program. But those fears had largely gone away by the end of the summer, lessening analysts' fears. Additionally, there has been growing domestic inventories of fuel and slowing economic growth, further pushing down prices.

Hottest item in the Muslim world? Pope on a rope!

To discuss Monday's high level summit at the Pope's summer residence in Italy with Muslim leaders, and whether or not it will do any good to settle tensions in the Arab World over the Pope's misunderstood remarks, I brought Papal expert Peter Pham on the show.

Dr. Pham is a Contributing Editor of FamilySecurityMatters.org, author of a book on Papal Succession and was a senior consultant on the Papacy for CBS News last year. He is currently the Director of the Nelson Institute for International and Public Affairs at James Madison University (VA).

Mysterious callers sought in Page corruption case

Q: Could Ernest Page really be this stupid?

A: Yes!

Threatening a witness after he testified while the jury is deliberating, priceless!

"Investigators are trying to find those responsible for a series of threatening phone calls to a witness who testified against former Orlando Commissioner Ernest Page during his corruption trial last week.A spokesman for the State Attorney's Office said an unnamed witness in the case received three calls on Friday before a jury returned a guilty verdict against Page on two felony charges.

Randy Means, chief of investigations for the State Attorney's Office, said a "key witness" in the case was threatened Friday, but the agency would not release the witness' name because of security concerns. The first two calls were made by a man and the third by a woman. All of the calls were placed from a pay phone at the Orange County Courthouse.

"There are some people in the [Southwest United Communities] community who stood to gain financially, and we assume there are people who are angry at the loss of potential revenue," Means said. "Tampering with a witness is very serious, and we consider this tampering."

In the third call, which authorities consider the most serious, a woman told the witness, "This is not over. You better watch your back. We'll be looking for you," according to a police report. "

'South Park' Makers Say It's 'Open Season on Jesus,' Not Mohammed

ABC's Jake Tapper interviewed Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of the sleazy cartoon "South Park" for Friday's "Nightline." It's been "vilified as crude, disgusting, and nihilistic." Actually, it may be calmly, dispassionately, almost scientifically decribed as crude, disgusting, and nihilistic. But Tapper elicited some interesting commentary on how which religions can be mocked:

"That's where we kind of agree with some of the people who've criticized our show," Stone says. "Because it really is open season on Jesus. We can do whatever we want to Jesus, and we have. We've had him say bad words. We've had him shoot a gun. We've had him kill people. We can do whatever we want. But Mohammed, we couldn't just show a simple image."

Caught in the act. Two weeks after the murder of Matthew Shepard, a lesbian student at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota said two men shouted antigay slurs at her and then slashed her face. Outraged students raised nearly $12,000 as a reward for information about her attackers. Then the student confessed she had made up the story and cut her own face. In a similar incident, a lesbian student at Eastern New Mexico University said she had been attacked after her name was included with the names of seven professors on an antigay "hit list" posted at a local laundromat. Police arrested her after a surveillance camera at the laundromat showed her posting the list.

Sept. 11 inscriptions spark outrage

Inscriptions etched into Arizona’s Sept. 11 monument — meant to inspire and capture the horror of the terrorist attacks — sparked the beginnings of a political blog battle this week.

A timeline and record of key events and quotes are etched onto a giant angled ring reflected by sunlight in what designers said was intended to capture how Arizona and the nation responded to the attacks, and to remember the strong emotions.

But this week, blog visitors have said they’re shocked at some of the inscriptions, which they describe as political statements against the Bush administration and its war on terror.

One inscription states, “You don’t win battles of terrorism with more battles.” Another: “Congress questions why CIA and FBI didn’t prevent attacks.” And another reads, “Erroneous US air strike kills 46 Uruzgan civilians,” referring to a wedding reportedly hit by mistake in Afghanistan.

“It’s a worldview that is critical of America, and in many cases cheapens 9/11,” said Greg Patterson, a lobbyist and consultant who operates the EspressoPundit blog, where he and his readers have been critical of the memorial. “It is bent on attacking the Bush administration’s take on the war, at the expense of the memory of 9/11.”

Stations say ‘jihad’ car spots go too far

Some Columbus radio stations have rejected as insensitive an advertisement for a car dealership that invokes Islamic references.

The general manager of the dealership, though, says the promotions — which he called "tongue-in-cheek" — will air on some stations beginning next week.

In the spot, Keith Dennis of Dennis Mitsubishi talks about "launching a jihad on the automotive market."

Sales representatives "will be wearing burqas all weekend long," the ad says. One of the vehicles on sale "can comfortably seat up to 12 jihadists in the back."

"Our prices are lower than the evildoers’ every day. Just ask the pope! " the ad says. "Friday is fatwa Friday, with free rubber swords for the kiddies."

Plus let's add a FREE Pope on a rope with every test drive.

Who could possibly be offended, other than jihadists and terrorists? Moderate Muslims shouldn't be offended. I think we all need to lighten up.

The French Got It All Wrong, again!

On Saturday, September 23, the French newspaper L’Est Republicain reported that Osama bin Laden had died in Pakistan. The cause of his death, according to the report, was a “very serious case of typhoid” which led to “paralysis of his internal organs.” The newspaper, which claimed to have obtained the news from a credible Saudi source, said that the al Qaeda chieftain, who remains the most wanted man in the world, died on August 23.

EXCLUSIVE to the Northeast Intelligence Network & Canada Free Press

23 September 2006: You can’t believe all the news that’s originated from Saudi sources, printed in French newspapers, and broadcast on major news outlets throughout the U. S., Canada, and Europe.

That’s the word from Hamid Mir, Osama bin Laden’s official biographer and the only journalist to interview the elusive al Qaeda emir in the wake of 9/11.

In an exclusive release to the Northeast Intelligence Network and Canada Free Press, Mr. Mir called the report was “rubbish” and said that it represented “old wine in an new bottle,” an apparent allusion to Congressman Curt Weldon’s statement last March to The Philadelphia Inquirer that bin Laden had died in Iran.

Bush threatened to bomb Pakistan back to the stone age after 9/11

We need more of this tough talk backed up with action. Vote Dick Armitage for President!

Pakistan's Leader Says U.S. Threatened to Bomb His County After 9/11

Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf said in a 60 Minutes interview set to air this Sunday (September 24th) that the U.S. threatened to bomb his country after the 9/11 attacks if he didn't help in America's campaign against the Taliban in neighboring Afghanistan. Musharraf said that then-deputy secretary of state Richard Armitage delivered the message to Pakistan's intelligence director, saying, "Be prepared to be bombed. Be prepared to go back to the Stone Age." Musharraf told 60 Minutes, "I think it was a very rude remark," but said he acted responsibly, explaining, "One has to think and take actions in the interests of the nation and that is what I did." U.S. government officials told both AP and Reuters they wouldn't comment.

Before 9/11, Pakistan was one of the few countries that maintained relations with the Taliban rulers in Afghanistan, but within days of the terrorist attacks on America, Musharraf cut those ties and cooperated with U.S. efforts to track and capture al-Qaida and Taliban forces that sought refuge in Pakistan. AP reports, however, that although Pakistan is still viewed as a close ally of the U.S. in the war on terrorism, it sometimes seems reluctant to go after the Taliban.

Musharraf also told 60 Minutes that there were demands made with Armitage's threat, including that Pakistan turn over its border posts and bases for the U.S. military to use in the fight against the Taliban. He called some of the demands, quote, "ludicrous," including one that he suppress domestic expression of support for terrorism against the U.S. Musharraf said, "If somebody is expressing views, we cannot curb the expression of views."

Video: Rangel warns Chavez not to attack “my president”

Leading Dems Condemn Chavez Over Bush 'Devil' Remarks Amid Further Insults from Venezuelan Prez

Two leading House Democrats condemned Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez yesterday (September 21st) for calling President Bush "the devil" in his speech the day before at the United Nations General Assembly. But their criticism came as Chavez launched another volley against Bush as the Venezuelan leader visited a Harlem church.

In a news conference yesterday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi called Chavez, quote, "an everyday thug." The California Democrat, who's a frequent Bush critic, continued, "Hugo Chavez abused the privilege that he had, speaking at the United Nations. He demeaned himself and he demeaned Venezuela." Meanwhile, senior Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel of New York released a statement in which he expressed his, quote, "extreme displeasure" at Chavez's remarks. He said, "George Bush is the president of the United States and represents the entire country. Any demeaning or public attacks against him are viewed by Republicans, Democrats, and all Americans as an attack on all of us."

But Chavez wasn't letting up yesterday, saying during an appearance at Mount Baptist Olive Church in Harlem that Bush is, quote, "an alcoholic and a sick man." That drew a round of applause from the crowd, which included actor Danny Glover, and he also got laughs and applause when he mockingly compared Bush to John Wayne. During the appearance, Chavez promised to double the amount of discounted heating oil his country sends to needy Americans under a program he began last winter, when he accused Bush of neglecting America's poor.

This is nothing more than an insincere tactic meant to deflect criticism away from Democratic attacks on Bush.

Here's the Cliff Notes version of...
Hegemony or Survival: America's Quest for Global Dominance by Noam Chomsky

Noam Chomsky is considered the father of modern linguistics. In this richly detailed criticism of American foreign policy, he seeks to redefine many of the terms commonly used in the ongoing American war on terrorism. Surveying U.S. actions in Cuba, Nicaragua, Turkey, the Far East and elsewhere over the past half a century along with the modern American war in Iraq, Chomsky indicates that America is just as much a terrorist state as any other government or rogue organization. George W. Bush's 2003 invasion of Iraq drew worldwide criticism, in part because it seemed to present a new philosophy of pre-emptive war and an appearance of global empire building. But according to Chomsky, such has been the operating philosophy of American foreign policy for decades. Opponents of the Bush administration's tactics consistently point out how the American government supported Saddam Hussein for many years prior to the 1990 invasion of Kuwait (pictures of Donald Rumsfeld shaking Saddam's hand are easy to come by) as a means of pointing out how the United States is happy to fund despots when it's in American interests. But Chomsky, armed with extensive historical notation, takes this notion further, arguing how the repression of other nations' citizenry is, in fact, the very reason Americans support certain foreign leaders. The charges made throughout the book are severe, as are the dire consequences he posits if current trends are not reversed, and Chomsky is no more likely to make friends or gain supporters from the mainstream now than he's ever been. But Hegemony or Survival is relatively dispassionate. Instead of relying on camp or shock value or personal attacks as some of his contemporaries have done, Chomsky drives his well-supported points steadily forward in an earnest and highly readable style. --John Moe

But O'Donnell admits she felt left out of the motherhood process whenever she observed her partner nursing their child.

She says, "Kelli only nursed for like a month and then I was very angry.

"With the other babies, nobody nursed because they were adopted. But with this baby she was the only one getting to bond, so I was like, 'The nursing is over!' I cut her off.

"A used-car salesman turned baseball owner promises to pay for a new stadium out of his own pocket, if the state government just agrees to move a highway to clear the land. Several backroom deals later, the state is raising a quarter-billion dollars towards the stadium costs - and the team owner is getting his stadium scot-free."--BOOK JACKET.

So he pays the $4 million cost of a referendum - even as his camp spends millions more in advertising to make sure he wins. In exchange, he gets at least $300 million in public money to build his team's new home."

TERRORISM: 'AL-QAEDA'S MR. NUCLEAR TO HEAD FRESH ATTACK ON U.S.'

Dubai, 12 Sept. (AKI) - Osama bin Laden is planning to carry out new, more destructive attacks inside the United States, and there is someone working on this terror plot currently in the US, according to Hamid Mir, the famed Pakistani journalist who obtained the only post-9/11 interviews with Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri. In an interview quoted on the website of the al-Arabiya television network, Mir spoke about his last trip to Afghanistan and his meeting with al-Qaeda members and Taliban leaders.

In his interview with Al.Arabiya.net, Mir said that the al-Qaeda and Taliban fighters referred to attacks targeting the US-led coalition forces during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan which begins on 24 September, and that the al-Qaeda leader, Osama bin Laden was in "good" health during a meeting he had recently with the Taliban leader, Mullah Mohammed Omar.

Mir also said that bin Laden has assigned a man named Adnan Al-Shukri Juma to carry out a new attack within the US which is intended to be larger than the 11 September, 2001 attacks. According to Mir, Adnan Jumaa has smuggled explosives and nuclear materials into the US through the Mexican border over the last two years and is hiding somewhere in America where the FBI has not been able to locate him.

The Pakistani journalist also gave a brief background on Adnan Jumaa. Born in Saudi Arabia, he moved to the US where he met a group of a Al-Qaeda members in the Al-Farouq mosque in New York in 2000. He then traveled to an Arab state and from there to Pakistan then Afghanistan. He left there two years ago and since then has smuggled nuclear material from Mexico to the US. Jumaa has earned the nickname "Al-Qaeda nuclear whizz" and is tagged to play the same role in a future attack as Mohammed Atta did in the 9/11 attacks.

Author Paul Williams recently spoke with Hamid Mir. He'll join me at 8:35AM ET Wednesday to discuss how credible this threat is and what the FBI is doing about it.

Shackling of juveniles challenged-Public defenders call chaining children abusive

MIAMI -- The arrest of her son for a schoolyard fight was devastating enough, but Giselle Sanchez was horrified when she watched the 15-year-old, his wrists handcuffed and his ankles shackled, shuffle into his first juvenile-court appearance."He's a child, not an animal," Sanchez said. "Why is he in chains?"

Because he committed a crime, he assaulted someone, he's a criminal!

Even the newspaper agrees with me.

Shackles and safetyOur position: Putting restraints on juvenile suspects is justified.

Nine Months At Ground Zero

The Story of the Brotherhood of Workers Who Took on a Job Like No Other

Charlie Vitchers joined me today to share his story.

Hours after two airplanes hit the World Trade Center on the morning of September 11, 2001, Charlie Vitchers, a construction superintendent, and Bobby Gray, a crane operator, headed downtown. They knew their skills would be crucial amid the chaos and destruction after the towers fell.

What they could not imagine -- and what they would soon discover -- was the enormity of the task at Ground Zero. Four hundred million pounds of steel; 600,000 square feet of broken glass; and 2,700 vertical feet of building had been reduced to a pile of burning debris covering sixteen acres. Charlie, Bobby, and hundreds of other construction workers, many of whom had helped to build the Twin Towers, were the only ones qualified to safely handle the devastation.

Everyone working the site faced the looming danger of the collapse of the slurry wall protecting lower Manhattan from the waters of the Hudson River, the complexity of shifting tons of steel without losing additional lives, and the day-to-day challenge and emotional strain of recovering victims. Charlie Vitchers became the go-to guy for the hundreds of people and numerous agencies laboring to clean up Ground Zero. What he and Bobby Gray make dramatically evident is how the job of dismantling the remaining ruins and restoring order to the site was far more complex and dangerous than constructing the tallest buildings in the world.

With stunning full-color photographs donated by Joel Meyerowitz -- a celebrated and award-winning artist and the only non-newsroom photographer allowed access to the site -- and first-person oral accounts of the tragedy from the morning of the attack to the Last Column ceremony, Nine Months at Ground Zero is a harrowing but ultimately redemptive story of forthright and heroic service.

Never forget, never forgive, never give up!

Here's a transcript of the past Friday's(9/8/06) appearance

CARLSON: Time now for three on three where we welcome two of the sharpest people we know to discuss three of today‘s most interesting stories. Let‘s get right to it. Joining us from Orlando, Florida, Pat Campbell host of “The Pat Campbell Show” and from New York City Sam Greenfield with WWRL‘s “The Morning Show.” Thank you both for coming on.

First up, flawed intelligence in the run up to the war in Iraq. News from no where for most of us, but today the Senate Intelligence Committee issued a report officially the report on pre-war intelligence on Iraq. Among the many findings, no evidence of ties between Saddam Hussein and the late Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. This is news from nowhere Sam as far as I‘m concerned. But what‘s interesting here is you‘re going to hear again this argument about whether or not the Bush administration knew that Iraq didn‘t have WMD. Now nobody contests the fact that they screwed up big time. But in order to believe they did it on purpose, you‘d have to believe that they screwed themselves. In other words, they told a lie they knew everyone would know about really soon. Why would they lie knowing that their lie would be uncovered?

I'm scheduled to be a panelist twice this week Wednesday and Friday. You can catch me at 4:30 and 6:30PM ET both days.

There's no evidence Saddam Hussein had ties with al-Qaida?

Senate: No Prewar Saddam-al-Qaida Ties - By JIM ABRAMS

Oh really? This is utter nonsense! Read'em and weep...

Case Closed From the November 24, 2003 issue of The Weekly Standard: The U.S. government's secret memo detailing cooperation between Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden. by Stephen F. Hayes

No connection to 9-11 are you kidding? Does anyone remember Salman Pak?

Did these clowns in the Senate ever hear of General Georges Sada, who personally supervised the transport of weapons to Syria, or read his recent book, Saddam's Secrets?

Ahmadinejad's visit to the U.N.

Iran's former President is visiting the US this week (Massachusetts' Governor has already declined police protection), while Iran's radical incumbent President Ahmadinejad is planning an "in your face" visit to NYC September 19th to take on President Bush over US opposition to Iran's nuclear program.

To discuss whether or not the US should allow the two Iranian leaders into the country and what their propaganda goals might be, I had as a guest Caroline Glick, Senior Fellow for Middle East Affairs for the Center for Security Policy and a columnist for the Jerusalem Post.

A glutton for punishment.

Democrat Charlie Stuart seems eager to take on Ric Keller -- challenging him to debates "anytime, anywhere." Says Stuart in his first post-primary release: “Ric Keller successfully dodged his primary rival, Elizabeth Doran, but we’re going to confront him on the issues ... He can run … but he can’t hide … from us, from his record, or from the voters.”
His full release and statement is below. (Notice Charlie's creative invoking of Mel Martinez's name ... with regards to one of his stances.)

The Good News from Iraq

Senate Democrats want Donald Rumsfeld to step down as Defense Secretary, but with Iraq scheduled to take control of their armed forces today in what one US general calls a "gigantic step," is Iraq really the failure that Democrats and the Mainstream US Media portray it to be?

Oh wait there's more good news...

Iran's Leader Declares Intent To Speak at U.N.

Diplomats at the United Nations were sent into disarray yesterday when President Ahmadinejad of Iran declared that he intended to attend the General Assembly of the world body on September 19 and to debate his country's nuclear program with President Bush, who is due to address the Assembly that day.

Why would we allow a sworn enemy of the US to come into our country? Adding insult to injury we guarantee him safe passage. What do you think would happen to George Bush if he tried to go to Iran? On the other hand, this could be an opportunity in disguise!

Rosie frightens the viewers by discussing her fur on The View.

But Rosie being Rosie, she couldn't resist just a little spice -- she talked about having conversations in the bath with her daughter about pubic hair(WTF???), looked ready to spar when Joy bizarrely ascribed a Japanese accent to Rosie's son Blake, and expressed great joy at the USTA National Tennis Center naming itself after lesbian icon Billie Jean King. But she didn't pontificate, and, all in all, the show had an energy that hasn't been in evidence in some time.'

Katie Couric Needs Your Help

New "CBS Evening News" anchor Katie Couric needs your help, NewsBusters readers. Tonight on her first show, she said she still hasn't figured out how to end the program.

"All summer long, people have been asking me, How will you sign off at the end of your broadcast? I've racked my brain and so far, nothing has felt right."

After a segment of past anchors' sign-offs, she asked for viewer help.

"If you have a bright idea for a great sign-off, log on to our website at CBSNews.com and tell me. I know we'll have a lot of fun reading them, and who knows, maybe one will actually stick."

Got some suggestions for Couric? Post them here or use the link if you want to send them to CBS.

Here's what I submitted... And that's our colonoscopy on the world. I'm Katie Couric, good night.

Fox's new trainwreck, "Celebrity Duets"

Fox's new trainwreck, "Celebrity Duets," is a mess of a ripoff of "American Idol," "Dancing With the Stars" and "Skating With Celebrities." Do we really need to see Lucy Lawless, aka Xena Warrior Princess, crooning with a creepy-looking Smokey Robinson?! No! Alfonzo Ribeiro says we'll see the famous "Carlton" dance, a la "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," if he makes it into the final two. I'm picking Jai Rodriguez of "Queer Eye" to win it all -- I can't decide who's the bigger diva on stage when he performs with Michelle Williams of Destiny's Child. WWE Superstar, Chris Jericho, is the first one out. Kind of surprising, since he has his own band, Fozzy, but he tanks on "Duets." If you dare to watch, "Duets" airs this week on Thursday and Friday at 9 p.m. on Fox.

Hat Tip to Kara A. Medalis, The Stamford Advocate

From Reuters...

The judges -- Marie Osmond, Little Richard and record producer David Foster -- are tactful almost to the point of being tone-deaf. At times, Little Richard's remarks often made no sense at all, a point duly noted by Foster until he finally gave up on it. Host Wayne Brady has a clever comic sensibility and a quick wit, none of which is apparent in this setting.

Steve Irwin killed by stingray

I don't understand the shock and disbelief concerning his death. I'm stunned that he lived this long. He was constantly putting himself in harms way and flirting with death. I reminds me of the shock over Jerry Garcia's death. People were surprised he died so young. I was surprised he lived as long as he did. Garcia was overweight, diabetic, smoked and had a lifelong heroin addiction.

Orange County Spending Millions On Land Appraised For Much Less

WFTV9 reports...

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Did the state and county overbid tens of millions of dollars for a property that no one will ever live or drive on? The government agencies told Eyewitness News the land was worth it because it is environmentally sensitive.

Channel 9 wanted to know if it was worth the $50 million price tag, considering it was purchased six months earlier for $18 million less.

The 4,500 acres of land in question is called the Joshua Creek Conservation Area. It stretches across east Orange County into Seminole County.

Eyewitness News did some digging and property appraisers said all the land is assessed at about $10 million, but in the land deal it's being bought for $50 million.

Still, the county says it's getting a good deal.

This reminds me of the Parramore deal. Why are we paying so much and who's pockets are getting lined?

Listen up, Democrats. You can win, here's how.

Ric Keller's seat is winnable. Here's our (Orlando Weekly's) advice on how to primp yourselves to do it.

Alan Grayson

Alan, you've got a hell of a resume; three degrees from Harvard? Holy crap. But there's also a good chance you're going to get your butt kicked if you come off as a weirdo, elitist snob. Here's how to prevent that:

Shave the goatee. It makes you look like a comic-book villain. As one political wag told us, If the Republicans are going to make you out to be the Antichrist, don't look the part.

Go ahead, show off the kids. You're a family man, and that always plays well. But do not make a point of listing off their names: Skye, Star, Sage, Storm and Stone. They're probably lovely and all, but this is Central Florida, not central California.

Speaking of which, the Wall Street Journal described your mansion as "pink-painted". You corrected them in an e-mail to us: The exterior tile is pink. The exterior paint is more of a beige. You know, like Cinderella's Castle. Do not describe your house that way again. In fact, you might consider a quick paint job.

If you win the primary Keller's going to paint you as a carpetbagger, so be ready to trot out your 10-year residency in Central Florida. That almost makes you a native. Make sure to act like one. Eat barbecue. Trade in the Cadillac sedan for an Escalade (preferably with flex-fuel capabilities so the environmentalists don't lose faith in you). Learn to say y'all.

Funny stuff! Read their advice to Homer Hartage and Charlie Stuart HERE.

This is priceless!

From today's WASH POST: It's unfortunate so many people took Joe Wilson seriously...

Unbelievable! After 3 years of B.S. calling for Cheney to step down, Bush to be impeached we now find out it was all a lie. Rather than apologize to the Prez and VP this is the best they can do.
Nevertheless, it now appears that the person most responsible for the end of Ms. Plame's CIA career is Mr. Wilson. Mr. Wilson chose to go public with an explosive charge, claiming -- falsely, as it turned out -- that he had debunked reports of Iraqi uranium-shopping in Niger and that his report had circulated to senior administration officials. He ought to have expected that both those officials and journalists such as Mr. Novak would ask why a retired ambassador would have been sent on such a mission and that the answer would point to his wife. He diverted responsibility from himself and his false charges by claiming that President Bush's closest aides had engaged in an illegal conspiracy. It's unfortunate that so many people took him seriously.

It's just another nail in the MSM's coffin.

Bush gives his best speech since 9-11

I'll have audio on the show Friday morning.

Bush Says U.S. Must Win in Iraq

President Bush said Thursday the war against Islamic militants was like last century's fight against Nazis and communists and that a U.S. withdrawal from Iraq would lead to its conquest by America's worst enemies.

"The security of the civilized world depends on victory in the war on terror, and that depends on victory in Iraq," Bush said in a speech to rally support for his unpopular war strategy two months before congressional elections. The Democrats responded by accusing Bush of pursuing failed policies that have weakened the war on terrorism. read the rest HERE.
