Time to screw with google. Looking for debt settlement, debt negotiation, debt relief, debt reduction, credit card relief, or advice on how to get out of debt quickly? Watch the free video below!

This reminds me a lot of my "get off your fat ass and exercise diet".

Bathtub Boy Keith Olbermann

I came up with the same liberal logic tonight while I was out cutting the grass. I was going to blog about it tonight, but apparently John Gibson beat me to it on his show. And frankly, it sounds a lot better on the radio coming from him than in print coming from me.

Via Olbermann Watch:
John Gibson asks the question of the hour: if you use applied OlbyLogic, why isn't Bathtub Boy responsible for yesterday's assassination of a US soldier? Ponder this philosophical paradox as you listen to Gibby lay it all out.

I cannot begin to tell you how much I despise military hating left-wing hack MSNBC host Keith "Bathtub Boy" Olbermann. His mouth is nothing more than an open sewer pipe infecting the masses with sickness, disease, and filth. Its quite obvious why he encourages people to demand they change the channel to MSNBC:

Fox News claimed 9 of the top 10 programs in weekday primetime, with the "O'Reilly Factor" (2.989 million total viewers, 702,000 A25-54) leading the pack for the 102nd consecutive month. "Hannity" (2.165 million total viewers, 551,000 A25-54), "Glenn Beck" (1.962 million total viewers, 472,000 A25-54), "On the Record with Greta van Susteren" (1.814 million total viewers, 452,000 A25-54), and "Special Report with Bret Baier" (1.784 million total viewers, 392,000 A25-54) rounded out the top 5. MSNBC's "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" was the only non-Fox News show to crack the top 10, coming in at #10 with 1.094 million total viewers and 323,000 A25-54.

I smell a contract renegotiation coming Keith...

From Newsbusters:

At the time of this writing, there are nearly 7,000 references to "George Tiller" in Google News.

There are under 500 for "William Long."

George Tiller, of course, was the Kansas abortion doctor murdered Sunday morning by a man who allegedly had political and religious motives.

William Long was the 23-year-old military recruiter murdered Monday morning by a man who allegedly had political and religious motives.

Are there 14 times more stories about George Tiller in Google News right now because Tiller's murder occurred approximately 24 hours before Long's?

Will there be approximately 7,000 references to William Long in Google News 24 hours from now?

I'm not holding my breath.
I guess the MSM is too busy blaming Oreilly for a guy who has been committing domestic terrorist acts since 1996. I checked around the web. NYtimes? Star Tribune? Nothing. The same goes for all the left wing jackasses in the blogosphere. They were all SCREAMING at the top of their lungs over the abortion doctor killing, yet they haven't mentioned one word about Soldier William Long being killed by the Muslim convert. I guess they're still too busy trying to blame the abortion doctor's death on right-wing conservatives.

Closing question: If Islam is the "religion of peace", then why are they always killing people?

Just when you thought Obama couldn't be any more of a Chicago criminal. Ever wonder how they decided which Chrysler Dealerships to close? Easy. They simply cross-referenced them with with the list of campaign donaters for Obama. Anyone who didn't donate got the axe. Don't believe me? Via Gateway Pundit:
Doug Ross looked at the possibility that the Obama Administration may have targeted GOP donors in deciding which Chrysler dealerships would have to close their doors. Doug noted that every single dealer he checked out except one were either GOP donors or donated to Obama's rivals in the democratic primary.

Watching MSNBC is torture
Thursday, May 07, 2009

This one is just too good not to mention. Ann Coulter properly addresses the ridiculous claims that dumping water over someones head is somehow torture.

The media wail about "torture," but are noticeably short on facts.

Liberals try to disguise the utter wussification of our interrogation techniques by constantly prattling on about "the banality of evil."

Um, no. In this case, it's actually the banality of the banal.

Start with the fact that the average Gitmo detainee has gained 20 pounds in captivity. There's even a medical term for it now: "the Gitmo gut." Some prisoners have been heard whispering, "If you think Allah is great, you should try these dinner rolls."

In terms of "torture," there was "the attention grasp," which you have seen in every department store you have ever been where a mother was trying to get her misbehaving child's attention. If "the attention grasp" doesn't work, the interrogators issue a stern warning: "Don't make me pull this car over."

Farther up the parade of horribles was "walling," which I will not describe except to say Elliot Spitzer paid extra for it.

And for the most hardened terrorists, CIA interrogators had "the caterpillar." Evidently, the terrorists have gotten so fat on the food at Guantanamo, now they can't even outrun a caterpillar.

Go read the whole thing.

Howard Dean - "Enough of Capitalism"

"Obama and the Dems aren't socialist, you rich, greedy, un-American, unpatriotic wing nut!" I love it when the actual truth comes spilling out.

From I Hate the Media:
Thank God for politicians like Joe Biden and Howard Dean. Sometimes, the truth just slips out of their mouths, and when we are lucky, their words are recorded for the liberal media to ignore and conservative alternate media to shout out. Today, former Vermont governor and former DNC Charmain, Dean obliged.

We had CNBC on in the background as we were writing our IHTM stories this morning and heard Howard Dean telling talk show host Jason Lewis to “stop using his talk radio voice.” Our ears perked up and then we heard one of the most honest lines ever to come out of the mouth of a liberal lawmaker yet. Here’s what he said (minute 5:00):

“I think we’ve had quite enough capitalism in the last eight years.”

Remember when the media jumped all over McCain and Palin during the election for suggesting the left and Obama were socialistic? Well…

Any bets they'll try to spin this? Lets see if I can guess right. "He was talking about the reckless, out-of-control, unregulated capitalism under the Bush Administration. This whole economic crisis was caused by unregulated capitalism."

Any bets I'm right? I'm just waiting for them to yank this video.

Letters From Jail, With Love

File this one under "cry me a damn river".

WASHINGTON—Immediately after U.S. troops captured Saddam Hussein in 2003, Iraq's brutal ex-dictator turned into a crybaby over "beatings" by a "detention gang" and sleepless nights amid screams of torture victims.

Saddam poured out his complaints "to whom it may concern" in two Christmas 2003 letters, handwritten in Arabic, which he gave to his U.S. military jailers, the Daily News has learned.

In one letter, he alleged "beatings that I have received following my capture," in which "not a single part of my body was spared of the severe harm that was inflicted by the detention gang," adding, "some of the traces are still visible on my body."

The tyrant and his family, who maintained their 24-year reign over Iraq by torturing and executing thousands, complained that his lockup—believed to be at Baghdad International Airport—was an American-made chamber of horrors.

"My opportunity to sleep in this place is limited and almost scarce," Saddam wrote. "I don't think there is anyone with a sensitive and humanitarian heart who can sleep amidst the screams of the tortured and the many blows of the doors and the squeaking sounds of the chairs."

Saddam whined that his "total hours of sleep did not exceed four to five hours."

Before you jump to conclusions and start calling me a blood thirsty barbarian, let me remind you of some of the horrendous acts Saddam committed (scroll down toward the bottom of the article for more details). This a man who gassed thousands of his own people, tortured people to death (real torture, not Guantanamo Bay's so-called "torture"), tied people's hands behind their back and shoved them off buildings, cut off limbs, fed people alive into large grinders, and raped women in front of their husbands and family. (I'm sorry, but I am not linking to any proof of this stuff. It's vile and disgusting and I will not have it on my site.)

Forget the WMDs. Getting rid of Saddam and liberating millions of people is reason enough.

Russian 9/11 Memorial?
Tuesday, May 05, 2009

comment

At first I thought I was the only one who had never heard of this (due to the fact I was in Iraq at the time of its dedication). So I have rightfully filed this one in the "stuff that happened when I was in Iraq" category. But judging from all the comments on the web, nobody has ever heard of it. Some are going so far as to call it an urban legend. Needless to say, it does exist. From the Bayonne Local Development Authority:

Time cures everything, but there are things we cannot and must not forget. Standing more than 100 feet tall, “To the Struggle Against World Terrorism” honors victims of 9/11 and the 1993 World Trade Center bombings and serves a symbol of solidarity in the fight against world terrorism. Created by Russian sculptor Zurab Tsereteli, the memorial was a gift from the Russian people.

The Memorial was dedicated on the fifth anniversary of 9/11, in a ceremony attended by President Bill Clinton, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff, Governor Jon Corzine, Senator Frank Lautenberg, Senator Robert Menendez and family members of World Trade Center victims. Grammy award winner, Leann Rimes, sang the National Anthem.

By day, or nighttime when it is lit, the Memorial is clearly visible from lower Manhattan, the Staten Island Ferry, ships passing through New York Harbor and airplanes approaching Newark Airport.

I understand why I didn't hear about it, being in Iraq and all. But why has no one else heard of this? Where was the MSM? Were they so busy attacking Bush that they couldn't devote one iota of news to the memorial? And they wonder why they're all going bankrupt. More pictures and info can be found here.

This has been around since March, but I have yet to post it. The Congressional Budget Office has a record of being more accurate than most presidents. The CBO estimates that from 2010 to 2019 the Obama budget we will have a total budget deficit of 9.27 trillion dollars.

If you're like me and you want to see the data for yourself, click here (requires Excel). If you want to check out all the information, check out the Congressional Budget Office.
