The hacker (typically people that have nothing better to do) is going to wish they were never born after posting private e-mails on the web.  The FBI and AGs of the involved states are going to come down hard on the hacker and the site which posted Sarah Palin's personal e-mails. 

For two weeks, Democrats and their media allies have leveled scorching fire at Sarah Palin. It's not having much effect, but they keep at it anyway.

Well, they fired it up. They got beam alignment one way, now they need to go the other way,  then they go both ways.  You know what happens when you go both ways at the same time? Physics.

Who said physics was boring.

No really, I got odds the world ain't over 'cause some physicists got a little crazy over there in SwistaFrance.

The Hadron particle will hopefully show it's signature!  The cameras they are are using are unlike anything DreamWorks uses.   

From an e-mail: Maybe this has been posted before...........

   Please join me for a moment of silence in remembrance.  For Common
Sense had served us all so well for so many generations.

Obituary: Common Sense

   Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common
Sense, who has been with us for many years.  No one knows for sure
how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic
red tape.
   He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as
knowing when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the
worm, life isn't always fair, and maybe it was my fault.

   Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend
more than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies (adults, not the
children are in charge).

   His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well intentioned but
overbearing regulations were set in place.
   Reports of a six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for
kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash
after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only
worsened his condition.

   Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing
the job they themselves failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.
   It declined even further when schools were required to get parental
consent to administer Aspirin, sun lotion or a sticky plaster to a student;
but could not inform the parents when a student became pregnant.

   Common Sense lost when criminals received better treatment than
their victims..  Common Sense took a beating when you can no longer
legally defend yourself from a burglar in your own home because the
burglar can sue you for assault.

   Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed
to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot.  She spilled a little in
her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

   Common Sense finally died when a woman sued a store after
she fell over her own child and won.

   Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust;
his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason.

   He is survived by three stepbrothers; I Know my Rights, Someone Else
is to Blame and I'm a Victim.

   Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.

Gone. I guess MSNBC ratings are pretty bad? You'll still be able to see them on their regular shows.  But no more election or debate coverage.

I am not so fond of Yahoo because they are slanted:

If MSNBC wants better ratings immediately, fire them both, and their credibility will jump 30%.

Here is an article by Judith Klinghoffer.   I think Joe Biden knows that the lovely Iranian president Ahmadinejad is no fool,  if the Iranian govt. were to be as crazy to lob a nuke at Israel, it would be suicide for Iran. I don't think anyone has to worry about that ever happenning.  But they wouldn't hesitate to provide one to terrorists, if they did and it was sparked up, they would be caught and would suufer the same consequences, nuclear material is traceable like fingerprints.

 

As a side note Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice is meeting with Libya today the first time high level communication in 50 years with Libya, I'd love to be a fly on the wall for that one. Condi and Qaddafi having lunch,  I guess Muammar wants to make nice, this has historical significance.

 

 

 

BIDEN TRUMPS AHMADINEJAD By Judith A. Klinghoffer( bio)

Ahmadinejad has been telling anyone who would listen that Iran is going to go nuclear and there is nothing the US can do about it. Biden went further. He told Israeli officials that there is nothing Israel can do about it. Leftist Israel daily Haaretz reported:

 

Democratic vice-presidential candidate Joe Biden was quoted Monday as telling senior Israeli officials behind closed doors that the Jewish state will have to reconcile itself to a nuclear Iran.In the unsourced report, Army Radio also quoted Biden as saying that he opposed "opening a additional military and diplomatic front." . . . Army Radio said Israeli officials expressed "amazement" over the remarks attributed to him. " Israel will have to reconcile itself with the nuclearization of Iran," Army Radio quoted Biden as telling the unnamed officials. " It's doubtful if the economic sanctions will be effective, and I am against opening an additional military and diplomatic front." Biden denies the story but it reads like vintage Biden to me. As a senator he was merely doing what comes naturally, bloviating. As the man who is supposed to teach Obama about foreign policy, these views are scary. Barry Rubin explains:

 

The real problem is if a nuclear Iran would reconcile itself to Israel's existence. And also let me urge the following talking points on you when you write/talk about a nuclear Iran. Even if people don't care whether Israel is wiped off the map they should consider these points: 1. A nuclear Iran will make it impossible for the West to protect its interests in the Middle East. All countries would be too intimidated to act in any way contrary to Iran's desires. 2. A nuclear Iran would intimidate all Arab regimes to appease Iran including, for example, rejecting Western basing rights or alliances. 3. A nuclear Iran would lead to a huge upsurge in radical Islamist movements and their recruiting. With hundreds of thousands of Muslims joining such groups, the existence of every Arab regime would be jeopardized; terrorism and regional instability would rise. 4. The price of oil, given understandable fears of regional stability, would go far higher than it is now and stay there for years. Senator Biden–are you reconciled to all that happening? I will take the liberty of answering for him: No, publicly. Yes, privately.

Everybody from Ahmadinejad to Putin to Western appeasers and declinists understand as much. That is the reason they are so enthusiastic about an Obama/Biden ticket.

I think Rudy gave the best endorsement speech ever! OMG!

The energy level while Sarah Palin is walking out is incredible this a freight train that ain't comin' off the tracks BABY! Right on, right on, right on........

Awesome choice! Congratulations on a great pick!

Now let's sit back, wait, and watch the other party try to rip this WOMAN apart.

I just saw her speech, in her intro. the narrator says: "... that every child has God-given potential and we should..........." I want to ask her "Does that include the God-given right to live?".  Also at the end she God blessed just about everything, how convenient.

Also near the end of her speech, she stated that she has actually seen hard working Americans and that she has hope that we all can get up and start working.............??????????????????????//

I don't know, but I think this whole thing is so scripted and Bee S. Eee. It is like watching a train wreck in slow-mo,  the energy level is probably less than a high school basketball game.   Watching curling during the winter olympics I believe would be more interesting.

Now the talking heads are saying how Hillary has become cooler and not so shrill, jeesh.

I suggest Pacs System of a Down video he just posted on his blog, it pretty much rocks.

This is something you should be
aware of so you don't get blind-sided.
This is really going to catch a lot
of families off guard. It should
make you worry.

Proposed changes in taxes after 2008 General election:


CAPITAL GAINS TAX

MCCAIN
0% on home sales up to $500,000
per home (couples) McCain does not
propose any change in existing
home sales income tax.

OBAMA
28% on profit from ALL home sales

How does this affect you?
If you sell your home and make a profit, you
will pay 28% of your gain on taxes.
If you are heading toward retirement
and would like to down-size your
home or move into a retirement
community, 28% of the money you
make from your home will go to taxes. This
proposal will adversely affect the
elderly who are counting on the income
from their homes as part of their retirement income.

DIVIDEND TAX

MCCAIN 15% (no change)

OBAMA 39.6%

How will this affect you?
If you have any money invested in stock
market, IRA, mutual funds,
college funds, life insurance, retirement
accounts, or anything that pays
or reinvests dividends, you will now
be paying nearly 4 0% of the money
earned on taxes if Obama become president.
The experts predict that 'higher
tax rates on dividends and capital gains
would crash the stock market yet
do absolutely nothing to cut the deficit.

INCOME TAX

MCCAIN (no changes)

Single making 30K - tax $4,500
Single making 50K - tax $12,500
Single making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 60K- tax $9,000
Married making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 125K - tax $31,250

OBAMA
(reversion to pre-Bush tax cuts)
Single making 30K - tax $8,400
Single making 50K - tax $14,000
Single making 75K - tax $23,250
Married making 60K - tax $16,800
Married making 75K - tax $21,000
Married making 125K - tax $38,750


Under Obama your taxes will
more than double!
How does this affect you? No explanation
needed. This is pretty
straight forward.

INHERITANCE TAX

MCCAIN 0% (No change, Bush repealed this tax)

OBAMA Restore the inheritance tax

How does this affect you? Many families
have lost bus inesses,
farms and ranches, and homes
that have
been in their families
for generations because they could not
afford the inheritance tax.
Those willing their assets to loved
ones will not only lose them to< BR>these taxes.

NEW TAXES BEING PROPOSED BY OBAMA

* New government taxes proposed on
homes that are more than
2400 square feet

* New gasoline taxes (as if
gas weren't high enough already)

* New taxes on natural resources
consumption (heating
gas, water, electricity)

* New taxes on retirement accounts
and last but not least....

* New taxes to pay for socialized medicine
so we can receive the same
level of medical care as other
third-world countries!!!

Scapegoating Speculators
Walter E. Williams
Wednesday, July 09, 2008

Despite Congress' periodic hauling of weak-kneed oil executives before their committees to charge them with collusion and price-gouging, subsequent federal investigations turn up no evidence to support the charges. Right now oil company executives are getting a bit of a respite as Congress has turned its attention to crude oil speculators, blaming them for high oil prices and calling for tighter control over commodity futures trading.

Let's look at the futures market and for simplicity use corn futures discussed in my May 28th column titled "Futures Market." While corn is different from oil, both obey the laws of supply and demand, just as humans are very different from bricks but both obey the laws of gravity.

Say that today's price of corn is $7 a bushel. I have a hunch that because of Midwest flooding, higher demand due to droughts and war in other parts of the world, that in May 2009, corn will sell for $12 a bushel. I stand to make a lot of money by buying corn now for $7 a bushel, holding it, and in May 2009 selling it for $12 a bushel. If many speculators share my hunch and buy more corn now, today's price, sometimes called the spot price, is going to rise let's say to $10 a bushel.

Higher prices for corn, and everything made from corn, might give rise to consumer complaints. While Congress can't stop the Midwest rain, droughts and wars in far off places, it can scapegoat speculators. Let's say that Congress outlaws the corn futures market, or makes futures trading more costly. Doing so will definitely lower the spot price of corn. The price might return to $7 a bushel, making corn consumption once again "affordable." You might exclaim, "Isn't Congress wonderful?" But what about May 2009?

Suppose the Midwest floods have a significant impact on corn production; there's drought and war in far off places raising the demand for corn exports. What do you predict will be the availability and prices of corn in May 2009 after Congress has outlawed, or made futures trading more difficult? If you answer less corn and much higher prices, go to the head of the class. By outlawing or impeding futures trading in corn, Congress encouraged Americans to ignore the future. Had Congress not interfered, people would use less corn now, making more available in May 2009. Thus, one of very valuable functions performed by the speculator is the allocation of resources over time. It makes sense to take the future into account when making consumption decisions today. The futures market, by the way, is no bed of roses. My hunch about corn supply and demand conditions might be dead wrong. Its May 2009 price might be $3 a bushel and I would have to sell at a loss. Futures trading is risky business.

Congressional attacks on speculation do not alter the oil market's fundamental demand and supply conditions. What would lower the long-term price of oil is for Congress to permit exploration for the estimated billions upon billions of barrels of oil domestically available, not to mention the estimated trillion-plus barrels of shale oil in Wyoming, Colorado and Utah. Some politicians pooh-pooh calls for drilling, saying it would take five or 10 years to recover the oil. I guarantee you we would begin to see a reduction in today's prices even if it took five to 10 years for us to get the first barrel. Put yourself in the place of an OPEC member knowing there would be a greater supply of U.S. oil five or 10 years, hence maybe driving oil prices lower to say $40 a barrel. What will you want to do now while oil is $130 a barrel? You would want to sell as much oil now and OPEC's collective efforts t o do so would put downward pressures on current oil prices. Right now the U.S. Congress is OPEC's staunchest ally.

I am going to throw a party when the NY Times goes out of business.  What a pathetic excuse for a newspaper, I wonder how many times they sent back Obamas OP-ED for revision.

Tony was a one of those people that saw this country for what it is, the greatest nation ever.  He will be sorely missed.

I don't know if this is from Jay Leno, but for the misery moaners, it should give you something to think about.

Oh yeah, congress approval (who cares right?) 9%.

Subject:  JAY LENO ON PRESIDENT BUSH (SURPRISING!)
 
Jay Leno wrote this; it's the Jay Leno we don't often see....

"As most of you know, I am not a President Bush fan, nor have I ever been, but this is not about Bush, it is about us, as Americans, and it seems to hit the mark. 'The other day I was reading Newsweek magazine and came across some Poll data I found rather hard to believe. It must be true given the source, right?

The Newsweek poll alleges that 67 percent of Americans are unhappy with the direction the country is headed and 69 percent of the country is unhappy with the performance of the President. In essence, 2/3 of t he citizenry just aint happy and want a change. So being the knuckle dragger I am, I started thinking, "What are we so unhappy about?''

A. Is it that we have electricity and running water 24 hours a day, 7 Days a week?

B. Is our unhappiness the result of having air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter?

C. Could it be that 95.4 percent of these unhappy folks have a job?

D. Maybe it is the ability to walk into a grocery store at any time and see more   food in moments than Darfur has seen in the last year?

E. Maybe it is the ability to drive our cars and trucks from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean without having to present identification papers as we move  through each state?

F. Or possibly the hundreds of clean and safe motels we would find along the way that can provide temporary shelter?

G. I guess having thousands of restaurants with varying cuisine from around the  world is just not good enough either.

H. Or could it be that when we wreck our car, emergency workers show up and provide services to help all and even send a helicopter to take you to the hospital.

I. Perhaps you are one of the 70 percent of Americans who own a home.

J. You may be upset with knowing that in the unfortunate case of a fire, a group of trained firefighters will appear in moments and use top notch equipment to extinguish the flames, thus saving you, your family, and your belongings.

K. Or if, while at home watching one of your many flat screen TVs, a burglar or prowler intrudes, an officer equipped with a gun and a bullet-proof vest will come to defend you and your family against attack or loss.

L. This, all in the backdrop of a neighborhood free of bombs or militias raping and pillaging the residents, Neighborhoods where 90% of teenagers own cell phones and computers.

M. How about the complete religious, social and political freedoms we enjoy that   are the envy of everyone in the world?

Maybe that is what has 67% of you folks unhappy.

Fact is, we are the largest group of ungrateful, spoiled brats the world has ever seen. No wonder the world loves the U.S., yet has a great disdain for its citizens. They see us for what we are. The most blessed people in the world who do nothing but complain about what we don't have, and what we hate about the country instead of thanking the good Lord we live here.

I know, I know. What about the president who took us into war and has no plan to get us out? The president who has a measly 31 percent approval rating? Is this the same president who guided the nation in the dark days after 9/11? The president who cut taxes to bring an economy out of recession? Could this be the same guy who has been called every name in the book for succeeding in keeping all the spoiled ungrateful brats safe from terrorist attacks, the commander in chief of an all-volunteer army that is out there defending you and me?

Did you hear how bad the President is on the news or talk show? Did this news affect you so much, make you so unhappy you couldn't take a look around for yourself and see all the good things and be glad? Think about it......are you  upset at the President because he actually caused you personal pain OR is it because the 'Media' told you he was failing to kiss your sorry ungrateful behind every day. Make no mistake about it. The troops in Iraq and Afghanistan have volunteered to serve, and in many cases may have died for your freedom. There is currently no draft in this country. They didn't have to go. They are able to refuse to go and end up with either a ''general'' discharge, an "other than honorable'' discharge or, worst case scenario, a "dishonorable" discharge after a few days in the brig.

So, why then the flat-out discontentment in the minds of 69 percent of
Americans?

Say what you want, but I blame it on the media. If it bleeds it leads, and they specialize in bad news. Everybody will watch a car crash with blood and guts. How many will watch kids selling lemonade at the corner? The media knows this and media outlets are for-profit corporations. They offer what sells, and when criticized, try to defend their actions by 'justifying' them in one way or another. Just ask why they tried to allow a murderer like O.J. Simpson to write a book about how he didn't kill his wife, but if he did he would have done it this way......Insane!

Turn off the TV, burn Newsweek, and use the New York Times for the bottom of your bird cage. Then start being grateful for all we have as country. There is exponentially more good than bad. We are among the most blessed people on Earth  and  should thank God several times a day, or at least be thankful and appreciative.' 'With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, 'Are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?'

Jay Leno

It's been a long time coming, but Chris is Chris again!

This TX. State Senator should be feeling somewhat embarrassed and used, but it is hard to say nada, zero, zilch as an answer, Obama is an empty talking puppet in a suit.  Some of you think GW is a puppet, an idiot?  The Dems are in huge trouble, I want to know who the puppetmasters are, I'm guessing Dean, Daschle, Gore, Bob Beckel, Albright, Kerry, Pelosi, Kennedy etc.

No one wants to answer the question Matthews asked honestly, and the ugly answer is being ignored by weak, dishonest, pandering, unthinking, AP driven media.

Here it is:
