...that a fuel fire couldn't melt steel and make a concrete structure colapse?? Oh well, I guess someone should tell the residents of Oakland that had to get to work on the train this morning.
I think somebody should call Rosie and Charlie and the truthers also and let them know that the eeeevill Jooos are at it again.
California Interchange Collapses After Tanker Fire
More words of wisdom from Ann on the Imus situation...
"This wasn't an insult to all mankind, and certainly not an insult to Al Sharpton. Now, if Imus had called the basketball players "fat, race-baiting black men with clownish hairstyles," well, then perhaps Sharpton would be owed an apology. "

Well here we are again folks, another MLS season and right on cue, here come the usual parade of aging South American players, it just wouldn't be American Soccer without them! From the not so glory days of Valdarama, to Campos, to Hernandez and the list continues with 4, count em' 4 new washed up south americans for the same price we used to get 6-7.
Let's start with Blanco: 34 yrs old. A fine player in his day, but considering his disdain for Americans what else could this be but an easy payday.
Then there is Marinelli: Only 25, but with a start at 17 an old soul in football years. Also quite good when he was younger, but he has not even had a game since the early part of 2006.
Next there is Boca's Schelotto: 34 in may. An icon in Argentine football to be sure, but far beyond his prime.
And last but certainly not least the Brazilian 36-year-old Edmundo: Nicknamed "The Animal," he was Ronaldo's backup when Brazil was runner-up in the 1998 World Cup in France. In 1995, he was accused of homicide in a car accident that killed three people. He was sentenced to 4 1/2 years in prison but was released on appeal. Just over a year ago, he was arrested by police on charges of dangerous driving and contempt of authority.
On a personal note, I am all for the designated player rule and was very excited at the players beckham might draw to MLS after he signed with the Galaxy. But that just did not happen. One by one every deal just seemed to fall through. From Davids, to Keene, to Joey Barton, to Figo, they all balked at MLS' offer to come and be a part of the Beckham era. Why? Frankly I think America was just too far to travel to play in a mediocre soccer league and get paid the same as they could have or more on their own continent. Oh well! Maybe next Year!

Lets add Juan Pablo Angel to that list shall we??
Well, Don Imus got fired...Whoopti Doo! The guy sucked anyway, his show was boring and he was a big time liberal mouthpiece. I have nothing against the man personally, but I will not think twice about his not being on the air anymore. That being said this again brings a much. much larger problem to the surface in the form of the huckster express that is "Reverend" Al Sharpton. If appearences are to be believed there couldn't possibly be a bigger hypocrite alive? Rev. Al seems to make his living turning mole hills into racial mountains when it suits him to do so. As this columnist and our friends at Six Meat rightly pointed out he almost completely ignores the african american death march that is Rap culture in our country and zero's in on ridiculous men like Don Imus laughing all the way as he likely collects a multi-thousand dollar payday for each press conference and talk show appearence. Al is also seemingly not solid on the truth of the matter being the most important point in any issue. For example in what was probably the first and maybe the largest example of sharpton grandiocity...
From http://www.realchange.org/sharpton.htm
"in 1987, black teenager Tawana Brawley claimed that six white law enforcement officers -- including then-assistant district attorney Steven Pagones -- had abducted and raped her, scrawled racial insults on her body and smeared her with feces.
Miss Brawley refused to speak with authorities or the media, but Sharpton and her two other advisers were soon making wild
claims. Sharpton compared then-state Attorney General Robert Abrams, a Jew, to Adolf Hitler. All three linked then-Gov. Mario Cuomo to organized crime and the Ku Klux Klan.
Within a year, a grand jury announced the story was a hoax and specifically cleared a Fishkill police officer and Pagones. Pagones sued Sharpton and the other 2 advisers for more than $150 million for defamation."
Since then uncle Al has been a part of almost every "alleged" white on black crime or defamation on record and has made hundreds of thousands of dollars while doing so. Most recently Don Imus and the Duke Rape case. The first a stupid attempt at a joke by a silly man, the second a mistake much like the case in 1987. But that does not stop Al, he charges forward ignoring the real plight of the black community and lining his pockets with the currency of fear, racism, white guilt, and anything else he can think of to exploit to get his point accross.
There I said it, and I am not backin' down!
Seriously though, I do agree with her statement in this article today in the SF Chronicle. Responding to reporters who asked her if she would agree with Congressman Tom Lantos' statement that
"however objectionable, unfair and inaccurate many of (Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's) statements are, it is important that we have a dialogue with him".
Pelosi then sited the fact that Mr. Lantos is a holocaust survivor and that if he did not object to meeting with maqmood imademigod, that "Speaks Volumes". That is the part I agree with, though not for the same reason as Nancy I'm sure. It does in fact speak volumes to the unwillingness of liberals and their elected leaders to acknowledge evil for evil. It does speak volumes to a fairy tale vision of peace and dialogue overcoming centuries of hate and destructive ideology. It does very clearly speak volumes about a possible presidential victory for democrats in 08 and underscores every reason why that can never be allowed to happen. It is the very reason why I was depressed for three days when she won the speakership and cringe every time she opens her mouth. Good intentions are not enough, we have to be right on this one folks. There is just too much at stake.
Let me break this down for you a bit, make it a little more personal. Let's say there is this man living two states over from you. Lets call him Fred. Now Fred hates all Eskimos and their state of Alaska, can't even stand that there are any living in the world. Furthermore, Fred has no reason to hate Eskimos. He will says that Eskimos treated his great, great, great, great, great, great, great Grandfather badly, or at least it says that in a book somewhere. Or that the tiny state of Alaska is bent on world domination and must be stopped. But after some investigation it becomes apparent that Fred is completely disconnected from reality and you wonder to yourself if he might be an insane person. Fred also takes every opportunity to let the media/press in his town know that if he had it his way, all Eskimos would be exterminated (see prior sentence). But there's more... Every time you drive by Fred's house, he is in his garage building a weapon that, when finished will give him the ability to wipe every Eskimo and their home "off the map" and frankly to do significant damage to yours and others homes also if he were to suddenly decide he hates you. Fred says til' he's blue in the face that what he is building is not a weapon at all, but a device that will enable other bigoted Eskimo haters to live a more prosperous life, but all of his actions tell you different. Oh yes, I almost forgot... Many people have seen what Fred is doing and have called the police to stop him, but they will not do anything but issue him warnings and wag their fingers in his general direction. What do you do?
Do you:
A. allow Fred to finish his weapon, all the while talking him out of his hate for all Eskimos, however irrational?
B. Leave it to the police, after all its really not your business anyway?
C. take matters into your own hands and make sure that Fred will never be able to use that weapon on anyone?
I know my answer and I would hope that most of you, for the sake of all Eskimos (and for the rest of us) would choose the same.
Obama ditches CBC/Fox debate
...and Hil closely follows suit
You would think they'd want this kind of debate to prove what they always say about there being no media bias. All we keep hearing is that there is no MSM bias toward liberals and I have heard them folow that by saying Fox is
not either. Why because they can't call Fox biased if they don't call CNN and MSNBC biased too. So the party line for Hil at least is "we will do DNC sanctioned debates only". Indeed!!! I guess just their absense amounts to an admission anyway, so as one commentor on Politico said, "Win-Win for us".
This editorial is the closest thing to common sense I have heard out of the MSM since Pelosi took her trip down the Middle East yellow brick road. Please give it a read and some thought. When you think about it, Natanz Nancy is doing harm and all Iran has to do is sit back and watch. It boggles my mind sometimes to imagine that there is someone this clueless 3rd in line for the Presidency.
