Republicans Say No To Civil Rights

2007-07-13T16:06:00.000-07:00

A Picture Worth A Thousand Words.

Apparently the Republican Presidential candidates do not believe that they need or want the African-American vote. Following in the footsteps of Dubya for the first six years of his White House occupation, Guiliani, Brownback, Huckabee, Hunter, McCain, Romney, Ron Paul, and Tommy Thompson choose to not to appear at the NAACP convention. The "presidential" candidates declined to show up for the NAACP-sponsored debate. Tancredo was the only candidate to make an appearance. Wonder how that felt?

This is an embarrassment for the entire world to see. The Republicans are not interested in civil rights, minorities, or anyone else for that matter. CNN, MSNBC, and Faux Noise have yet to report this - guess Paris Hilton is more important.

Wow. And nine percent of African-Americans will still vote for a Republican in November 2008.

Do your duty and spread the word about this travesty to America and how the Republicans really feel about civil rights.

John Edwards and Hillary Clinton Say Cut Numbers at Debate

2007-07-13T05:09:00.000-07:00

Warning: The video has only been available from Faux Noise. Apologies to all. Faux Noise seems to forget that Dubya still does not know where England is located let alone California. Didn't Dubya have a listening device at his last presidential debate against John Kerry?

A conversation between Edwards and Hillary Clinton was recorded of them stating how they should work together to limit the number of debate. Have Edwards and Clinton forgot that just because they are considered the front-runners does not mean the American people have decided? What makes this conversation even worse is that they said this after debating at the NAACP convention. The NAACP is about civil rights for all and that includes the right to hear all the candidates.

Clinton of all people should know that the mics are always on and you have to be careful of what you say. Will be interesting to see what type of fallout occurs because of this conversation.

Next Clinton will be discussing keeping Edwards away because he is polling well below Obama and herself. Then maybe she will keep Obama away because she is polling higher than her. Oh say can you see.....................

American Patriot

2007-07-12T08:41:00.000-07:00

Larry Flynt is a true patriot. He is going after those in Congress and other places of great responsibility to the American Public. He is flushing out those individuals who use god and religion to cover up their own discretions. He is flushing out those individuals who hypocritically calls others unpatriotic, non-christian, immoral, etc., all the while they are the ones actually sleeping with prostitutes or having affairs. Newt Gingrich anyone. With the announcement that Flynt has credible information on 25 members of the House and 2 members of the Senate plus some other high ranking government officials, expect heads to roll. Get your popcorn and a nice cold beer out - this is going to be a hellavu ride.

And just for the fun of it. Here's something to laugh about.

Sopranos - Those Dark Guys

2007-06-11T15:42:00.000-07:00

Pat Buchanan appeared on Carlson Tucker's show today on MSNBC. They were discussing the Sopranos series finale when Buchanan says I thought it was "those dark guys" that were going to kill Tony Soprano.

Those dark guys? Does Buchanan not know how to say Black or African-American? Even colored and negroes sounds better than "those dark guys."

Isn't the old saying that you get wiser as you get older. Well what was Buchanan like when he was in his 20s. No - do not want to go into his racist background.

Stay tuned for more commentary. Next how Congressman Campbell of California thinks that the Voting Rights Act is not needed.

Fuel Efficiency: American Cars Move Further Down the Chain

2007-06-05T19:58:00.000-07:00

The oil companies must be shaking in their boots. Too bad American car makers still have not gotten the hint that Americans want fuel efficiency not a cup holder that has heating and cooling capabilities.

From The Future of Things -

The Pennsylvania based Lithium Technology Corporation recently demonstrated a new type of "plug-in" Toyota Prius hybrid car. The new model is based on advanced lithium iron phosphate battery which allows the hybrid car to travel up to a distance of 125 miles per gallon of fuel – making it possibly the most efficient mass-produced car in the world.
Lithium Technology Corporation (LTC) announced that its' new lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) technology might be incoporated in hybrid cars expected to arrive in the market in 2008-2009. The Toyota Prius demonstrated by LTC was also equipped with a "plug-in" capability which allows it to recharge using conventional power sources (such as a power outlet in the owner's garage). Currently there are no "plug-in" capable cars on the market but special conversion kits are available and a small number of people are already using them to recharge their hybrid vehicles.

Although the new long range "plug-in" Toyota Prius might prove to be even more popular than its current version (which since the launch of its second version in 2004 has sold over 200,000 units worldwide), it is still very far from breaking the world record for the longest drive per gallon of fuel. This record was recently broken by a prototype car built by a team from St. Joseph La Joliverie University in France, which set an astonishing record of 7,148 miles per gallon of fuel (3,039 km per liter).

More information on the new lithium iron phosphate battery technology can be found on the LTC website.

Saturday News Stories

2007-05-12T16:11:00.000-07:00

Today has been a slow news day so here are few stories to take to bed with you.

Apparently good ol' Dick Cheney was a client of the DC Madam, which is just creepy. Is it possible that Dick has feelings? Can his heart, or what ever machine his doctors have implanted, handle him getting a rise? Actually the American public should be interested in hearing about Dick's shenanigans. But does anyone want to know that he was having sex or even that someone would touch him. Ewwwww. What position did Dick take:

Speaking of integrity, Alberto Gonzales seems to have confidence that all the hearings and public outcry is not going to result in his firing, being asked to resign by the White House, or a possible impeachment. He never ceases to amaze in his arrogance. Mr. I-Do-Not-Recall seems to think that his unethical behavior has gotten him through the storm. His selfishness has caused the Department of Justice to lose confidence with the American people. He needs to resign and do what is best for the United States. His inability to recall information, meetings that he was involved in, decisions that he made show at a minimum that he is not a manager or leader because he does not know how to take responsibility for his own actions and ownership for the problems over at the DOJ. The question is - Why is Bushie keeping him on board? Dubya's refusal to do what is right for the United States and to admit when things are bad never ceases to amaze.

Apparently the Senator who loves those Storm Thurmond values is angry at the 11 senators who staged a Bush intervention. The public is grateful for that intervention - Bush needs to be put on a 10 step program. However, Trent Lott thinks differently. According to the Minority Whip (yeah yeah stop laughing at the irony) those Congressmen should have kept their mouth shut. But senator isn't that what they have been doing the entire time Bush has occupied the oval office? Apparently Lott did not get the memo from the American people that we expect our representatives to disclose there activities. After all they were voted in by the American people and represent the American people.

And speaking of interventions, Dick seriously needs his head examined. Here is a transcript from his latest interview, with you guessed it Fox, where the questions were pre-screened.

Not sure if Hillary Clinton should be believed, but law students should love this. She is promising to make higher education more affordable and to take on those pesky predatory lending companies that provide those student loans. Does anyone believe her?

And for those with grandparents, ill family members, or yourself - the members of Congress do not work for you they work for big industry. Check out this story about how much your representative got from the pharmaceutical companies - it is sickening. Apparently the 2006 election did not send the right message or they were unable to understand what it meant. So in 2008 they need to get the message loud and clear as they are thrown out of Congress in November 2008.

Well apparently Giuliani is doing something that Bush is not - he is letting those red staters who keep selecting Bush know that they are not part of the GOP base. Apparently Giuliani only meets with those who make more than $1 million dollars. Guess he is going to lose the Iowa vote and some other red states. Serves those red staters right - the blue kept telling the red that they were being used.

And for the third Cheney story, Kucinich's impeachment bill just got a co-sponsor. Dick is getting mad, real mad. He may go shoot another friend in his face. Poor Dick wonder if he is going to go to a undisclosed location until January 2009 - probably not he is too honery for that.

Finally, if Dubya and the do-nothing Republicans are so into protecting the United States and National Security is their priority. They love to brag how there has not been an attack since 9/11 then is this necessary. Does this not make it seem that the "administration" may be letting things slip through the cracks again - such as not reading security briefs that say "Bin Laden determined to attack."

Alberto Gonzales Has Amnesia At Congressional Hearing Today

2007-05-10T12:29:00.000-07:00

Well things seem to be getting worse for the Attorney General. During today's hearing he had a hard time containing his smugness. Just watch his interactions. He is almost laughing at Congress like he knows that they are not going to do anything to him. We can only hope that he will be put in his place soon - Impeachment please. And whatever state bar he belongs to needs to suspend his license or just completely disbar him.

Again the American People have been stonewalled by this "administration" and this "attorney" general. Where is the uproar, the outcry. Surely there would be one if this was Clinton or a local District Attorney.

He still looks like a little turd.

Now isn't this quant. Instead of talking about Gonzales' lying a Republican feels the need to bring up a Democrat who is under investigation and asking the DOJ to wrap up the investigation. Isn't that what the fired US Attorneys were saying was going on - political party pressure to prosecute Democrats for political gain.

This man is a poor excuse for a manager let only someone who is an administrator of the entire Department of Justice for the United States. Was he waterboarded prior to these hearings begun or did he undergo some type of hypnosis because for an attorney he sure cannot remember anything that he did let alone the Department. Does he have amnesia? Because that is the only justifiable reason for his behavior.

He sure loves passing the buck. Did this man really go to law school and did he actually take and pass an ethics course? Wonder if he took any Continuing Legal Education courses because this is pathetic.

Congress Continues to Probe Alberto Gonzales

2007-05-10T06:44:00.000-07:00

Does anyone think that Gonzales will resign after all of the questioning and probing presumably ends. Nancy Pelosi's office is posting clips of the hearing and C-Span is streaming the hearing.

Bill Richardson's New Presidential Ad

2007-05-10T06:00:00.000-07:00

Great job! He lets the facts speak for themselves. This is one of the most creative ads in the Presidential race.

While he is qualified he does not have a chance to win the Presidential nomination. For one the red staters would be scared that he would let the entire population of Mexico cross into the United States. Second, the man has some of the best credentials amongst all of the presidential candidates - for the past 2 selections the American people were less worried about creditentials and more worried about whether the presidential candidate was someone they could sit down and have a drink with. Well we see where that got the US. Finally, he's just not snazzy enough. He will be in someone's cabinet for sure though. Right now the US could use him as the Secretary of State.

Lobbyist Go After Michael Moore

2007-05-10T05:25:00.000-07:00

That seems to be a Moore appropriate title. Ever since Michael Moore's scathing documentary against Baby Bush, the government and Republicans have been after Moore. His new documentary, "Sicko", that is scheduled for release has been causing fear in the health care industry for years.

Well now it seems the lobbyist, ooops meant the Feds , have become involved by launching an investigation of Moore's trip to Cuba and their timing is perfect - right before the film premieres at the Cannes Film Festival. And too bad that this publicity is just going to help the film do better in the box office.

Now Moore had applied for a license to take 9/11 workers to Cuba for treatment, but the Feds never responded. So being Moore he went anyways. That was the point, to show how a country that the US deplores and is supposed to be so bad has better medical care for its citizens. Also, who could argue that at least Moore was acknowledging that the 9/11 workers are suffering from illnesses caused by their being patriotic. Apparently, the Cuban media has picked up on the discrepancy, which is probably going to keep Fidel alive a few more years.

Maybe Moore's documentary "Sicko" will start a national debate on the role that lobbyist and politicians play in making sure the American people cannot afford basic health care. For a film that has not been viewed yet, former Republican Fred Thompson is already weighing in with an uneducated opinion:

"What is it that leads people to value theoretically “free” health care, even when it’s lousy or nonexistent, over a free society that actually delivers health care? You might have to deal with creditors after you go to the emergency ward in America, but no one is denied medical care here. I guarantee even the poorest Americans are getting far better medical services than many Cubans."

Yeah Thompson, even the poorest Americans can receive some medical services, but that happens in the emergency room and they are subsequently billed for those services. Then the hospital sends the big bad collection agencies after them. Never heard of Fidel doing that.

Perhaps Thompson forgot to mention one American who is featured in Moore's documentary. The poor woman's insurance company denied payment for the ambulance that transported her to the hospital because the service was not pre-approved. They did not care that she had just been in head on collision and that while suffering head injuries and lying in a smashed up car, she was unable to get on her cell phone and call the insurance company.

And whoever is the source leaking information about Michael Moore's fear that the Feds are trying to destroy his documentary needs to stop. If Moore decided to send a copy of his documentary outside the country for protection then what does that say about America and freedom of speech, expression and free press.
