Bush lied?, no Saddam lied

I hope all those protestors (and Congressmen) admit they were wrong, but I won’t hold my breath…

Saddam Hussein told an FBI interviewer before he was hanged that he allowed the world to believe he had weapons of mass destruction because he was worried about appearing weak to Iran

Hi from Peru

Sorry for the lack of posts but I´m taking a ¨trip of a lifetime¨ to Peru. Halfway thru and headed for Cusco. Blogging will resume in a week and a half. Stay safe!

Commitment to fighting terror

Thanks a lot Obama – we spend a whole of time, effort, and manpower to keep terrorists out of the US and our President brings one in himself.

No, really : 1st Gitmo detainee arrives in U.S.

Yeah, this should end well. Why have border patrols and screenings when we can just fly them all first class?

Freedom advances

Hezbelloh defeated in Lebanese elections.

Well, I must say good. The power of free elections and free press showing the Arab world what a free Arab society (i.e. Iraq) can look like. It’s good news for all those who participated in the stunted Cedar Revolution. It also means that Lebanon will take a more pro-Western turn and signals a defeat for terrorist supporters in Syria and Iran. Syria is essentially just a proxy for Iran and Syria had essentially just uses Lebanon as a place to steal natural resources. With this victory, I hope they will be cut off and the influence of the West will spread further.

What’s the Gitmo Plan?

So the plan is to ensure that no terrorists are left at Guantanamo? Nobody in the US wants them and no other country will take them. That leaves three choices:

1) Change the name of Gitmo to CubaDisney

2) Put them on the moon

3) The Phantom Zone

Any other ideas?

Californians Rejects Tax Increases

Gee, taxes keep going up, you have people leaving the state in droves, and yet the state legislature wants to raise taxes.

Cause-effect, anyone?

Umm…

President Barack Obama on corporate spending : “You can’t get corporate jets, you can’t go take a trip to Las Vegas or go down to the Super Bowl on the taxpayer’s dime.”

Uh….

Everybody panic!

Yeah, I’m not buying into the whole swine flu epidemic (or is it pandemic). Certainly infants and the elderly are at risk but they’re also at risk from the regular flu. What’s different? Nothing.

Just calm down and take normal precautions and wash your hands extra often.

Or are you still worried about mad cow, SARS, and bird flu?

Taxpayer money met sinkhole, sinkhole, taxpayer money

Nashville Tax Day Tea Party

So I went out to join the Nashville Tax Day Tea Party protest yesterday at the State Capitol. As expected, the turnout was quite large but civilized. The few police that I saw in the area were mostly relaxing or chatting casually to people, a sign to me that they weren’t expecting trouble. The two speakers I “heard” were Phil Valentine and Rep. Marsha Blackburn. I put “heard” in quotation marks because they speakers weren’t nearly loud enough for the crowd size. I see this not as a failure but a success in that the crowd was so large. In addition the “horn honkers” were out in force, some holding signs out of their car.

My favorite sign of the day:
