Oz? No! Massachusetts
Yesterday, on am talk radio( Howie Carr (Herald (Boston) columnist and talk show host) )a caller lambasted a guest (could not quite make out who as the signal was rather weak) for the US position in Iraq. Apparently, the new spate of terrorist threats is a direct result of our presence in Iraq. When the caller was questioned as to the fact that we weren't in Iraq on September 11, the caller stated that we were, at that time occupying Saudi Arabia.
Someone forgot to tell the Saudi's that we launched a military campaign against them. Perhaps deinstitutionalizing Massachusetts was not in the best interest of the commonwealth. This caller, most undoubtedly a product of the public school system here, (perhaps a teacher or professor), is either off his rocker or is just plain nuts.
He is not alone.
Massachusetts' infamous senators rushed to the press boxes as soon as a terrorist plot to blow up us passenger airplanes was announced yesterday. Of course, this latest attempted assault is explained with the DNC party line: It is all George Bush's fault. Amazing the credit the DNC gives to our President, the man causes virtual acts of God on the one hand (Katrina) and on the other?
At least our senators have an excuse for their behavior. Kennedy is either fresh from the pub and/or eccentric (goes with excessive wealth) or Kerry, well, Kerry, we'll go with eccentric due to excessive wealth, but...meds may be in order.
The problem the DNC is facing in the northeast, a virtual stronghold of lunacy:
Outside of journalist and academics, politicians and the committable, regular people are nervous about and aware of:
Media bias: New York Times and Wire Services doctor photographs and collaborate with terrorists, among other indecencies. Unless those able to read are stuck in a bubble, and using limited sources, say only the local papers (not unlike a brother-in-law, teacher, who sees no need to step beyond the safety of network news and/or the local paper because it's all "fill in the blank - add the nearest republican politician- fault) the DNC makes them somewhat nervous.
War on Terror: It is not our fault, in no way, shape or form. Unless educated in the social study school of thought (or within the last 30 years) and never having taken a college history course, people understand that America is a glorious country that, not unlike others, has made a few mistakes, but overall - we're the good guys.
On the other hand, crackpots who believe that 72 virgins await them in some sort of paradise (is that paradise?), after blowing up Americans' and Jews, well...see Kennedy, Kerry and the Times.
Socialists do exist within the DNC. Normal folks understand this now: Lamont, Connecticut, Lieberman. The DNC will silence and/or remove any party member that does not subscribe to the G.W.Bush talks to God theory and must be removed theory. (Katrina) Leiberman, perhaps the last sane DNC senator, was beaten by what most sane people would call a narrow margin in the state DNC primary. Leiberman will do well as an Independent and many are pulling for him to run; for the sake of Connecticut, for the sake of the country, for the sake of the DNC.
No matter how the local news, the national networks and or the New York times Photoshop, and shapes the story, the DNC will lose more seats in the house and senate. Their candidates, to a man and woman, all subscribe to the Massachusetts school of thought.
The nation is on high alert. We have terrorists from within and from without.
*for those not aware:
NYTimes reporters subpoenaed; apparently they felt it was a good idea to get a statement from suspected terrorists by asking how they felt about an impending fbi raid. The feds want the reporter to give up the source. This is once instance where article 3 of the constitution should apply.
Reuters News, etc. have all withdrawn photographs, or fired photo-journalists in recent weeks for "doctoring" photos. Apparently, adding a couple of incoming missiles, smoke, dead bodies, in order to make the terrorist (Hezbollah) appear more sympathetic was ok by them. Until caught with their hands in the deception jar.
Recap: Instead of Kennedy, Kerry and crew coming out and congratulating our government, the Brits and the Pakistani's on a job well done saving the lives of untold numbers of American citizens, they point fingers and cry foul.
There's no place like home, there’s no place like home.

"It's about Time, It's about Space"
"About Strange People in the strangest Place"
(Gerald Fried & Sherwood Schwartz)
Might be talking about the rep-rehensible John Murtha (D. PA). As all are aware, Murtha has made continual derogatory statements regarding the conduct of our troops as well as their ability to fight a war. He supposedly speaks from experience, being a veteran himself, however, one is hard-pressed to find many veterans of any wars (specifically in said Murtha's district) who would endorse his statements.
Which may work out well for the young Marine who is now suing Murtha for libel. Apparently, Murtha's statement and sources are not protected under any constitutional privledge because a) they were made out of the scope of his job description and b) he's missing a press pass.
Finally an opportunity to take to task those who sensationalize and lie outright in order to make a political point and/or gain power in Congress or their party.
See Washington Post Story here.
Speaking of the Press, the New York Times is being called (or hauled) into court for the treacherous behavior of certain journalist and once again "sources within our government" as relates to their aid and abetment of those who would do harm to everyday citizens. Breibert reports
Fitzgerald (special prosecutor) apparently is interested in getting to the bottom of why a New York Times Reporter felt it was necessary to call an Islamic Terrorist Cell (i.e. charity) prior to an FBI raid. "Do you have any comment on the fact that the FBI is about to raid your building?" (paraphrased) quipped the Reporter.
To the amazement of the FBI, no one was about when they came calling.
Gives one pause.
But only for a moment.
The Times, will of course, appeal, but to whom? Readership is already in a spiral. Enough said.
Lastly, to snap oneself back to reality, watch and listen to Kevin Cosgroves 911 call from the 102 floor of the World Trade Center the morning of September 11th, 2001. Watch video here It is a heart-wrenching, chilling reminder that everyday American's are subject to acts of terrorism. Perhaps this event was missed by those over at the NY Times building?
Peace, strength and victory to Israel as they defend themselves as well as our way of life.

Quick Thinking
Having never been the most graceful of individuals, it appears that I should be equipped with a warning label: "Likely to cause harm to self in simple situations."
In the blazing heat of the weekend and in a cookout setting, using less than perfect wisdom, a neighbor offered a carona, and against, better judgment (as I rarely, if ever, drink), I drank that beer. It was good.
Until, while attempting to remove a packet of foil wrapped ribs from the grill (a hazard under any circumstance), the packet slipped and my foot was covered in extremely hot barbecue sauce!
For what seemed like 30 seconds.
Until an orange slurpee (7-Eleven, best brand) froze my foot on the spot! My quick thinking friend gave up her drink of choice to douse the burn on my foot.
Those things are cold!
As the northeast braces for a week of extreme temperatures, and the fighting continues worldwide, it is a comfort to know that there are still individuals out there that will make what appear to be small sacrifices (I know how valuable those slurpees are) to help a friend or neighbor.
