So the Right Reverend Wright is doing a media blitz! We're now seeing clips of an interview where angry, crackpot, Christian-hating, leftist Bill Moyers is attempting to braid his nosehairs with the ones in the Right Reverend Wright's butt. Even in this friendly enviroment we have the Right Reverend Wright pontificating, raising his hands, rolling his eyes heavenward and talking about the blood on America's hands, not as a point of contention but as a fact so obvious that it almost goes without saying. We cut to a solemn nod of assent from Moyers, obviously proud to be breathing the same air as this spiritual genius. I cant wait to see the whole interview. Or the Right Reverend Wright's speech to the NAACP. These elitist libs are so saturated with their politically correct smugness that they dont have any sense of how regular people react when they hear this kind of vile nonsense. While the elite's kids were in the snooty Private Academies, like the one Obama went to in Honolulu, our kids were toughing it out in public schools which were governed by the court order of liberal Federal judges; judges who roughly enforced every form of social engineering proposed by the radical lawyers who were filing endless briefs before them. The schools were destroyed and anyone who complained about the lack of discipline and standards was labeled a racist. We watched trillions of dollars be poured down the social services rathole; if you objected or pointed to the generations of lawless, fatherless youths who were being bred and subsidized by these corrupt and misguided programs you were labeled a racist who hated the poor. The Federal government intruded into every workplace telling bosses who they could hire and made disciplining or firing a minority a scary proposition for gutless middle managers or businessmen afraid of a lawsuit at the hands of anti-business 'public interest' law foundations or the legal hacks at the EEOC. We've been called racists lots of times and in lots of different ways and there hasnt been a thing we could do about it; if the company was big enough or if you worked for the government any disagreement with the PC status quo would land you in a 'sensitivity training' program that would teach you to grovel and apologize properly.
So now we're supposed to ignore this looney-tune Marxist flapdoodle in the name of racial harmony. Well, I'm not going to do it. The Right Reverend Wright is a hate-filled, incoherent, Marxist, grudge-holding, anti-white, anti-semitic, sniveling, poverty profiteer, and the congregation and the community who go to his church and who give him donations and awards are every bit as misguided and stupid as he is. Including star parishioner Barak Obama.
And lest you think I'm writing this because the Right Reverend Wright is black let me jot down a couple of words about Barak Obama's white friends, a group every bit as revolting as anything he could dig up in the black community. William Ayres and Benadine Dohrn are two of the most irrational and loathsome figures in this country. What other nation would so blithely tolerate two creeps who openly and fervently pray for its destruction? How are these two rewarded for their revolutionary violence and incoherent philosophy? They're college professors! Public employees. That refuse like this are considered qualified to teach anyone anything when every word they utter is steeped in the radical Marxism which has murdered hundreds of millions of people in the last century and has been seen to destroy nations from the inside out over and over again is beyond any kind of common sense. In the name of academic freedom the universities have been destroyed by a cloud of locust-like Marxists, ironically the bitter enemies of any kind of academic freedom for non-Marxists.
The media, graduates of schools where this type of professor complemented them and gave them A's for their own sophomoric leftism can only explain the objection to these people in terms of racism and ignorance on the part of the Great Unwashed. The media support Obama and they might think the Right Reverend Wright is a little 'over the top' but they're in basic agreement with everything they're both saying.
But what, for the Dems, is the alternative to Obama?
First, dumping him at this point is going to cause a STIR among the group of people who they have encouraged from Day One to think of themselves as victims of the unfair white conspiracy and have forgiven again and again for bad behavior or even outright mayhem. The Equally Reverend Al Sharpton is already threatening disruption and violence. Can a group so totally gutless and guilt-riddled as Professional Liberals go tell their black helots to go sit at the back of the convention and be quiet? Will their black constituents accept their second-class status meekly and troop to the polls to vote for the wife of the First Black President? Can these same libs look the white radical loonies who are always prone to violence in the eye and tell them to accept a fait accompli delivered by the SuperDooper Delegates?
Second, the unacceptable alternative. The Clinton Crime Family is well known for their penchant for mafia-style revenge. And the list is long. Donors, pet journalists and party hacks who jumped ship and dared to criticize 'The Legacy' are right at the top. None of these guys wants Dragon Lady and her shady crewe of sycophants in charge of the IRS and the Justice Department with the Patriot Act at their beck and call. The Clints have paid dearly in the Democratic Party and the nation for their take-no-prisoners tactics, their lies, now made transparent by a suddenly hostile media, and their general unlikability under pressure.
She's damaged goods. A coup d'etat that gave her the nomination would certainly alienate the blacks and the youth vote and leave her to fight out the election among blue collar whites with McLame, who has none of her radical plans for government expansion or her long history of sleaze and corruption.
So the Dems now have two weak and damaged candidates. Every day makes them more unelectable. A chaotic convention will seal the deal. McLame is the luckiest guy since Ringo Starr. Lets see if he can screw it up.

I guess its no secret...me and Algore love the planet Earth. In fact, I guess I'd have to say that Earth is just about my favorite planet in the whole danged universe! That doesnt mean that there arent places on Earth that I dislike intensely. Take, for instance, Las Vegas, Nevada. Its got its good points and bad points but getting there from Los Angeles in an automobile usually involves the I-15, which I hate. 250 miles of bumper-to-bumper traffic; trucks, hookers with road-rage, chinese tourists in rental cars, drunken fraternity prats, wiseguys and gangstas in Escalades, every form of human debris is hurtling to or from that glowing neon catbox in what used to be the desert at high speed. The obsessive-compulsive desire to hand over their hard-earned cash to the corporate casino owners and the practitioners of every form of vice ever invented has worn tire-ruts in each lane, making changing lanes a bit dicey in places.
So, I avoid I-15. This adds a hundred or even two hundred miles to ones trip but one traffic jam in Victorville or the Cajon Pass, one jackknifed truck or overturned SUV (common occurrences on I-15) can wipe out any advantage you gain from taking a direct route. But I'm an old hand at this, the last few years of my mother's life made me almost a commuter to the Entertainment Capital Of The World and I've learned all the alternative routes.
This week I did a fast turnaround and on the way back I drove through the Mojave National Desert Preserve. I had weighed an alternative route through Death Valley, a gorgeous spring day like this shouldnt be wasted and Death Valley wont be visitable until October but I went south instead of North.
It seems that the clouds which just rolled through LA without dropping any moisture, a sure sign that the dry season has arrived, must have dumped some rain into this isolated valley. As I drove into the preserve I noticed how lush and green the mesquite bushes were. The Joshua trees that you
encounter on the road to Cima had the dust washed off of them and were in full flower. An amazing sight. The desert floor was rioting with wildflowers and blooming cactii. I was pulling my car over every few minutes just to wander around and take pictures. I saw a king snake slither across the road . There were lots of chipmunks and a jackrabbit darting about. I didnt see any coyotes. I guess I'll just have to wait for them to wander into my yard back in LA.




At one point I stopped and watched a kestrel swoop back and forth low over the mesquite and then rose to perch on a phone pole. I got a photo.



I drove through Cima and the south towards the I-40.







I turned off at the washboard road to the Kelso Dunes. I worried that my 14-year-old Honda Del Sol would be shaken to pieces in the three-mile drive to the trailhead. I parked in the empty parking lot and got a quart-sized bottle of water to take with me as I hiked up into the dunes. Very quickly I remembered a couple of things I had forgotten about desert sand dunes, as opposed to beach sand. The sand is much finer and drier, making it harder to walk on. I'm in fairly good shape, I walk on steep hills most weekend mornings, but I was soon out of breath, heart pounding. Another big difference is the temperature and the humidity. No sea breeze here. It was about 75 degrees in the parking lot. It must have been twenty degrees hotter on the sand. My water started to disappear fast. But what a walk! The dunes were covered with wildflowers. Lizard tracks wound across the blinding white sand. Ravens flew by. Absolute total silence broken annoyingly by a jet flying high overhead at one point. Not a soul around.
An inspiring moment.








My water was disappearing at an alarming rate. I turned around and walked back, arriving at the parking lot to encounter a two-foot-long lizard standing near my car. A photo op from God. But would he bolt? I slowly moved closer. He was frozen. Another step. Raise my camera. I got it! As I lowered my camera the lizard came to its senses and scurried off.









I got in my car and drove back to LA.

Linked below are two articles which highlight the increasing loonieness and destructive results of the Man Made Global Warming Hoax. If you need links attacking the bad science of Global Warming and the fraudulent and heavy-handed tactics of its advocates there are links on my 'Where's The Warming?' post of March 19th. But this isnt about the pseudo-science behind the hoax but about some of the results of acting on that misconceived premise. We've all been told for the last fifteen years or so that if we didnt heed the warnings! and act yesterday to change our evil, consumerist ways that whole ecosystems would cease to be and that millions would starve!
One of the most holy intonations in the Global Warming mantra is the prayer for the renewable energy sources which will replace evil petroleum and even more evil coal as energy sources. Evil nuclear, the true non-greenhouse, safe, renewable, infinitely abundant energy source is, of course, not considered an alternative because it is Evil. This hasnt stopped countries like France, Germany and Japan from producing almost all their electricity from nuclear power but they've been ignored by the fanatics who HATE nuclear power unless its a hydrogen bomb on the tip of an SS-20 medium-range Soviet missile aimed at them by St. Mikhail The Wonderful, in which case its a step towards World Peace. The True Answer is Bio-fuels! Ethanol! The moldy hippies from the big cities and the ever-greedy lords of Agribusiness see eye-to-eye on this one. Monstrously huge subsidies have been passed in congress to pour tens of billions of dollars into this miracle fuel. Unfortunately, because the corn must be planted and harvested by petroleum-gobbling farm machinery, because ethanol is distilled by heat, because it cant be transported by pipeline because it contains water which would damage the pipes and so must be transported by trucks with diesel-burning engines and then blended with gasoline at the refinery because few cars can burn pure ethanol without destroying their engines, ethanol actually takes more energy to produce and distribute than you get from burning it for fuel. This also means, in the aggregate, that it also produces more pollution than gasoline. But the main side effect has been its effect on food prices and the environment. The price of corn and wheat have shot up astronomically. The effect in the poorer nations has been mass hunger and even starvation. Countries like Haiti are dissolving into chaos because the average people cant afford to survive. As pleasing as it will be to see people in international parasite countries like Egypt and Pakistan go hungry as China and India outbid them for shrinking food supplies the result of this will probably be an ever increasing flood of hunger refugees into the countries whose economies can still feed their populations. But how long will that last? A century of Socialist Central Planning has left mounds of skeletal corpses wherever the people have been misguided enough to dispossess the successful farmers and adopt the heavy hand of government-imposed fairness. Zimbabwe is the latest example. Before Mugabe kicked out the evil capitalist farmers and redistributed their land to his political cronies the population was 13 million well-fed people and a healthy food export industry. Today, a mere decade later, the population is seven million people, most of them on the brink of starvation.
Now, with the United States preparing to abandon capitalism and seriously discussing nationalizing industry after industry the continued supply of food, even to its own citizens, let alone the rest of the world, is in doubt. So in a sense, the mass starvation predicted as a result of Global Warming has already started to occur, not because of any change in the weather but because the 'threat' of Global Warming has increased government meddling in the production and distribution of food has caused chaos and dysfunction in food marketing. It also seems that the sacred Rain Forests have got to be sacrificed to create more bio-fuel producing farmland and hopefully enough food so that Brazilians dont die of starvation behind the wheels of their ethanol-powered cars. Screw the Rainforest, we cant let the environment get in the way of protecting the environment, can we?
Which brings us to our second non-solution. Wind power. We've all seen the forests of bird-pureeing windmills that government subsidies have caused to be set up in what used to be called 'The Pacific Flyway', where tens of millions of migratory birds followed the path of the winds from north to south and back again. You know birds, "Dirty, filthy, disgusting, lice-ridden, BOIDS!" as the lady in 'The Producers' once said. The ugly, noisy windmills arent very efficient at producing electricity but they are better at killing birds than ten million meth-crazed, shotgun-toting rednecks with an unlimited supply of ammunition. The same people who wept when the pigeons of Trafalgar Square were denied food in the name of urban cleanliness heartlessly turn their backs of these feathered bug-eating pests in the name of Renewable Energy. The article from 'The Scotsman' is about the campaign to seed the empty and beautiful heathlands of Northern England with ugly, noisy windfarms. Of course the fragile peat bogs will have to be broken up to lay roads, transmission lines and the concrete bases that these monsters sit on, just as the desert environment has been permanently damaged by the ones we have in Cali. Again, the infrastructure to make these things work, and the energy required to keep them online is immense and comes close to cancelling out the energy you get from them. On windless days they produce NO power, as several wind-powered towns in Texas found out recently.
The problem here is that Global Warming has never been anything but an excuse for the Central Planners in the government to get control of what's left of the free economy. The discredited Central Planning nostrums that have seen a century of failure and disaster are now necessary to cure our Evil Consumerist ways. if we dont adopt command Socialism THE WORLD WILL DIE! Welcome to the New Age of Feudalism.

So Thrilly as Hilly returns to Philly! Yes, the City Of Brotherly Love, where Traitor Russert launched the illegal alien driver's license question that began Mizz Hilly's long slide towards irrelevance and unpopularity. Now she's back on stage in a debate that her wildest dreams of a year ago never envisioned; the nerds, the droolers and the chronic losers all sent home in disgrace, stripped down and fighting for her political life against the lean, up-and-coming New Kid. But even her desperate situation couldnt make Hilly adhere to the truth:
"Regardless of the differences there may be between us, and there are differences, they pale in comparison to the differences between us and Sen. [John] McCain,"
No they dont. You're all a pack of Big Government libs and you know it. Any minor differences these socialists might have with McLame would be overcome by his Dem Senate buddies twisting his arm after he's elected. Also, what differences are there between these two Stalinists; the only thing they're arguing about is which one of them institutes the Five Year Plan. Its like Stalin and Trotsky, not a dime's worth of difference between them.
And what fun George and Charlie were having! It was like the two guys at a cockfight that hold the roosters in their hands while they bump the bird's heads together to get them killing mad.
One of the most wonderful things about this endless primary is the media has lost all its inhibitions against going after liberals. After all, with all the candidates on the far left (except maybe McLame who might possibly be on the near left) they're going to have to get used to taking out their pissant bile on whoever's available. So far they've managed to strip the aura of wonderfulness from America's First Black President and stood back and let him be revealed as a petty, grudge-filled, greedy, lying, power-mad kook as he erupts into tirades at hapless college students and voters who ask him an unwelcome question. With his eyes bugging out of his red face framed by that weird stand-up white hair he looks like another Clinton, George Clinton, after his crack arrest. So much for Legacy Boy.
The best howler of the evening was when Gibson asked the debaters whether 'The Dream Ticket' , one of them as VP on the other one's ticket, was a possibility. Total Silence. I hoped that they had patted these two down for weapons before they let them on the stage. Its pretty clear that having the other one around for four years, competing with them for media face-time, is not what either of these two are dreaming of.
So, then the debate degenerated to a discussion of 'the issues'. Who cares. Nothing these dopes ever say during a campaign actually happens so why subject yourself to the insane boredom of listening to whatever permutation of Stalinist economics has focus-grouped the best this week.
They're going to dismantle our military, hand out cash to all and sundry and nationalize whatever industries they can get their grasping hands on. Remember, everything that the socialists have gotten their hands on for the last hundred years has turned into a total disaster. Now they want more input into energy, health care, pharmaceuticals and finance. If they get it we're in for some seriously hard times.
So who won the debate over which one gets to wreck the country? Its hard to tell. Hillary is hoping that the blue collar oafs who vote Democratic in Pennsylvania decade after decade as their jobs flee the anti-business, high-tax environment which results from that, will be racist enough to be scared by quotes from Obama's book and the Rev Wright into voting White. Obama is hoping that a solid black vote combined with enough glassy-eyed, granola-eating, left-wing, fanatical loonies and swooning college students can finally put a stake through the heart of the Undying Candidate. Only the polls will tell!

Defaming Mormons is almost as much fun as reviling Born-Again Christians if you have one of those mind-numbingly dull jobs writing for a major newspaper. Not that there's much difference between the two in the Ivy League educated mind, where any religion, even New Age Idiocies like Wiccan are looked at with sneering contempt. These guys are too busy in their spare time painting their house green to reflect harmful Global Warming-causing cosmic rays to wallow in irrational belief systems. But nothing brightens a dull day at The Daily Blab like a good old wacky-religious-cult-enslaves-with-kinky-and-brutal-fury story. They can fulminate against these Mormon (make sure that word gets used alot so that America will be alerted to the enemy within) polygamists who kept their women permanently locked inside their compound where they were reduced to total subservience, brainwashed by a weird and brutal dogma of patriarchism and then traded like livestock among their close male relatives. Lurid tales of fiftyish men and just-nubile women can be flaunted to show the evils of Mormonism. Imagine the mental state people who live like that are probably in. We should condemn any religion where this type of arrangement is common, shouldnt we? Even if it encompasses a billion people and a large chunk of the world's known oil reserves, right? Because this is the type of society that breeds terrorists. Osama Bin Laden, for example, was one of dozens of children from young wives of a rich merchant. In Britain the incidence of congenital birth defects, the frequency of which is increased greatly by inbreeding, is astronomically higher in the Muslim community where just-pubescent girls are often given in marriage to much-older male relatives. The Houston compound wouldnt have raised a stir in Riyadh or in rural villages from Morocco to Pakistan, its a totally acceptable life-style. These are countries where female circumcision is accepted and common, honor killings expected of the family. Traditional folks. Not all Muslims do any of this (none of the modern cosmopolitan ones do), or live this way but a much higher proportion of Muslims do than Mormons so it must be okay to generalize like the New York Times does to Mormons. Anyway, the Mormon church has renounced polygamy and Islam isnt even thinking of any step toward female equality, the idea is blasphemy. The 60 year old Prophet's eleventh wife was nine years old.
So the next time the media get their hands on some fringe Christian group and get one of these sneering laugh-fests going remember that there are certainly Islamic compounds in this country these geniuses could be snooping into which have practices every bit as brutal as the ones in Houston. We'll be waiting, guys!

This morning I was reading an article on Real Clear politics entitled 'Where Have All The Republicans Gone?' by Gary Andres. Its the usual collection of demographic tables that essentially misses the forest because it is studying the trees too intently. The most egregious mistake that all these Inside-The -Beltway types are making is the decline of registered Republicans and a consequent rise in the number of Independents, and thinking this represents people drifting left towards the Democrats. That mistake underlies the entire premise of the McLame campaign; he thinks he will drift left with the electorate and score big. Just the fact that McLame and his advisors are so completely WRONG about something so fundamental underlines what a completely unqualified candidate for the presidency he is. The rise in Independents is a result of conservatives being appalled and shocked time and time again by the drift by the Republicans toward facilitating big government as the solution to every problem and the unwillingness of most Republican office holders to oppose or even debate the Democrats on any issue. As soon as there is a confrontation the left-wing media publishes a bunch of polls and the Republicans run and hide like a bunch of whipped little sissies. A large portion of the blame for this has to be laid at the feet of the party's so-called leader. Bush has spent his entire time in office being 'non-confrontational' to people who were calling him a homicidal retard. He didnt push ANWR or offshore drilling and his reward from his Democratic party-pals was to be called a tool of Big Oil. Now that we have a petroleum crunch and gas prices are rising it is, of course, Bush's fault! You can go down the line on issue after issue where Bush has turned his back on the people who elected him and sought comity with his sworn enemies. He has actively favored opportunists and non-ideological types in his appointments, and in fact left almost all the Clinton appointees in place in the CIA and State Departments, ensuring leaks and betrayals aplenty. He could have realized the destructive results of a McLame nomination on the party and recognized McLame's total unfitness both as a candidate and a president. McLame hated Bush and did everything he could to sabotage him and his fellow Republicans in the Senate. But did Bush openly or tacitly support any one of the much more acceptable and qualified candidates who were available or groom one of his own? No, the head of the party sat silent, just as he did while Dummy Hastert and Spending-Bill Frist turned the legislature into a welfare office for crooked corporate donors and a halfway house for closeted deviants.
None of it matters. This is going to be a Dem tidal wave. The crooked corporate donors and the closeted deviants are all solidly backing the Dems. All this fighting and tearing on the Dem side wont hurt them a bit; they're not arguing about the issues but about personalities and it seems certain that Obama has it locked up or will shortly. A damaged Clinton with an alienated black vote might have been a contest for a REPUBLICAN candidate, but for a sawed-off, superannuated, ultra liberal, hot-tempered aisle-crosser? Either of these extremely flawed, incompetent militantly left-wing Dems could beat McLame. What liberal in their right mind is going to vote for a liberal McLame when they can vote for a liberal Obama? Even a lot of Republicans will be voting for Obama or some looney Bob Barr third party candidate just to send a message to the arrogant hacks who promoted McLame's takeover of the party.
See you on the bread lines!

have_all_the_republicans.html

"Clinton said she and her husband have many gay friends that they socialize with when they get the chance. "I've got friends, literally, around the country that I'm close to. It's part of my life," she said."

Yes, its election time! Gays arent as numerous as a lot of other groups who get a lot less attention but they are very politically active and an especially open-handed group when it comes to making campaign contributions. So now, with the candidates as hungry for money as a junkie going through withdrawal symptoms, the gay pander is on!
Now we are going to have to admit that the thought of John McLame 'going across the aisle' to make a play for the gay vote is enough to turn the stomach of any red-blooded American, gay or straight; McLame just doesnt have much Gay Appeal. He doesnt have much Straight Appeal. Let's face it, this mutt is just downright unappealing. Because he's appalling. But thats another post. But there is a group in the gay community who live lives of quiet desperation, unable to reveal themselves and openly announce their proclivities lest they be covered in shame and scorn and even physically assaulted. Yes, I'm talking about Gay Republicans. Some people, regardless of their sexual orientation, notice that liberalism doesnt work and generally leads to disaster. They hate high taxes, they hate overregulation, they reject social engineering schemes and plans to install central economic planning in the name of fixing the weather and generally find the whole panoply of liberalism unconvincing. They have two problems. Left wing gay activists consider any form of conservatism, no matter how thoughtful and inclusive, to put one in active cahoots with the 'God sent AIDS to punish gays' psychotics and any conservative views fill them with rage. The other problem is that the party that up until recently stood for conservative values also includes many 'God sent AIDS to punish gays' psychotics. But their problem has been solved by McLame and the current crop of Republican leaders who are enthusiastically renouncing conservatism, relieving gay conservatives of any obligation to support anyone. Just like straight conservatives. We all just need to shut up.
But thats not where the REAL action is in the gay community. Its with the Dems. Now you would think that Obama would have a natural 'leg up' with the gay community. He's tall with handsomely chiseled features. Manly. His speeches are filled with hope for the future and imply a new, happy world to come. The kind of stuff that idealists and gay activists love to hear.
Except. What do you think The Right Reverend Wright says about gays in his friendly little sermons? The truth about black politics is that while they tend to be far to the left concerning issues of governance and policy black Americans are very socially conservative. They are anti-abortion and anti-gay. Very anti-gay. Obama, almost totally unknown except for his association with The Right Reverend Wright, is linked closely to the mainstream of political thought in the black community. The anti-gay mainstream.
Which brings us to the Clints. As the quote above illustrates Miz Hilly and the gang will go to any length, say any thing, crawl as low as they need to crawl to get the nomination. I expect Bill to announce that he tried being gay once but that he didnt inhale. The Clints are also not ones to be turned off by promiscuity or kinky sex practices; Bill could campaign in the steamrooms of the most notorious urban bathhouses without batting an eye. But thats not the real reason that Clinton III has a handle on the Gay Vote. Obama is DAD, the father who rejected them and treated them with contempt; Hilly is MOM, the stern but controlling matriarch who understood. She looks down on her children and smiles.

Sometimes, to avoid the sugary idiocy of the local news I switch over to the BBC International news, which is to be seen on one of the half-dozen public TV systems available on my cable TV lineup. Even though its to the left of Pravda at least the BBC tends to cut out the fluff and actually report events that are happening in places other than the US and to stay away from the puff pieces that have almost completely taken over American TV news.
But not always. The BBC decided to do its broadcast from the memorial service that was taking place in the courtyard of the motel where Dr. King was murdered. The broadcast was the usual giant dollop of hagiographic tripe that we've come to expect from our tamed and neutered liberal media. A certain amount of that is fair, or would be if we didnt have to hear about George Washington and Thomas Jefferson being slaveowners every time their names are mentioned, if every time we hear about the goodness of America we didnt have to revisit the treatment of the Indians; any reference to anything or anyone that was formerly held up as an ideal now comes with modifiers attached just so we dont forget what a poisoned legacy our greedy, imperialist society has accumulated over the centuries.
So why not King? How many people under the age of fifty actually remember Dr. King? My kids studied King-worship in school; they went to majority-minority schools (a term we have to thank the Civil Rights Industry spawned by Dr. King's legacy for) and the warm, fuzzy propaganda was somewhat offset by the behavior of the poor oppressed minorities who have used their newfound freedom and equality to overcome their former meekness in ways not covered by the coom-bi-ya platitudes of the the Liberal Weepers. But Dr. King himself is a mere icon, a poster hung on the wall. The soul-stirring eloquence of his words was missing. How come? It seems the greedy King family, less interested in the legacy of Dr. King then in their legacy have attached exorbitant fees to the public play of any of his speeches, causing an almost total blackout of King's voice from the airwaves and any documentaries that are likely to be shown in schools. Did you notice, in all the hand-wringing praise of King that was so ubiquitous last night how his actual voice was almost completely absent? The film clips were sparse and far between. We got hours of Jesse Jackson and Roger Wilkins but brief seconds of King himself.
Of course it was never mentioned how far King had fallen in the Civil Rights movement by the time he was assassinated. The 'movement' had developed a taste for the much more savory views of H Rap Brown and Huey Newton by that time. Why show a bunch of suit and tie wearing Negroes when you could show shotgun-toting dashiki-clad Blacks threatening to exact revenge on their former oppressors? Thats great TV! The activists had completely dropped the non-violent rhetoric, and the love of violence had spilled into the hearts of the spoiled baby-boomers, trapped in the new systems of state universities by their 2S draft deferments (and cowardly fear of service in Viet Nam) and at the mercy of formerly powerless seedy academic parasites now filled with the lust for the power the old order had so wisely denied them. "Bombard the headquarters!" said Chairman Mao and these middle class spoiled brats joined hands with their Black counterparts to throw the books written by Dead White Men into the bonfire and to mouth the platitudes of revolution and violence. King was old news. Until he was shot.
The emerging Civil Rights Industry needed an ultimate victim, an icon whose appearance ended all argument; the mere sight of Dr. King's profile ensured that the viewer understood what an undeniably racist society we were living in; Martin died for our racist sins. Payment for our racist sins was in the form of the burgeoning War On Poverty programs that sprouted like mushrooms in those troubled times.Tom Wolfe, in 'Mau-mauing The Flak Catchers' remarked that the aim of the poor in all these new poverty programs spawned by the Johnson and Nixon Administrations was not to be on the program but to work for the program.
Now, forty years later, in the courtyard of the Lorraine Motel were assembled the beneficiaries of the billions of dollars so thoughtlessly ladled down the national toilet in the name of fighting poverty. The ever-nauseating Hillary showed up at the festivities, and in the middle of a speech striking in its phony sentiment and larded with the usual platitudes she promised to appoint a 'poverty czar'. That sounds like a good job, I wonder what it pays? The crowd, who had enjoyed themselves earlier by booing McLame, who showed up to apologize for voting against the King National Holiday (OK I'll admit it, I enjoyed seeing the s--t-eating grin on the old duffer's face as the crowd got in gear), didnt attack the wife of the First Black President for her many racist attacks on her black opponent (who was very prominently missing from this orgy of bad taste) much to my chagrin. I guess in the interests of brevity she didnt quote Andrew Young's remark that Bill Clinton was blacker than Barak Obama because he had slept with more black women. Of course Jesse Jackson showed up to perpetuate his lie about the Bloody Shirt (sort of a secular Shroud Of Turin). The BBC had Roger Wilkins, someone I've always liked and admired, to inject a few words of quiet good taste into this misguided 'celebration' but then canceled out any attempt at seriousness by doing a long standup while in the background a female Gospel singer with a really piercing loud voice shrieked loudly and longly almost drowning out the commentator's yelled cliches. It was like some ear-splitting ultra-modernist atonal musical guilt-sniveling.
I should have watched the traffic report, the new llama at the LA Zoo and the Doppler 7000 Weather Radar (which, of course will show no clouds closer than Seattle until next October) and listened to the ever-witty badinage between the carefully coiffed anchorpersons; a group completely balanced by age, race and national origin in keeping with the guidelines which have sprung from the legacy of Dr. King.

A new set of showtrials are in progress. The people who have done everything in their power to raise gasoline prices are bringing in the people who are doing everything they can to lower gasoline prices and demanding to know why prices are so high. Politicians who voted to keep ANWR and the outer continental shelf off limits to drilling, who have prevented the construction of nuclear power plants and oil refineries and who are wasting hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer's money on bogus 'renewable energy sources' feel like they have to show the morons who voted them into office that they are 'tough' on the energy company executives who they imply are engaged in a nefarious scheme to squeeze money from the helpless public. Almost every disruption and price rise that has happened recently can be traced to government intervention in the market, usually, but not always, at the behest of the eco-maniacs whose ultimate goal is the end of private automobile ownership for the common herd. Even though the Republicans are (or were) slightly better on this issue the fact is that the political culture in Washington is united in its belief that this type of intervention in the marketplace solves problems instead of creating them. In the coverage of the banking crisis one reporter remarked that there hadnt been this level of government regulation proposed in the finance industry since the Great Depression. There was a charming lack of irony in that statement which showed no understanding that excessive government regulation might have turned the Crash Of 1929 from a sharp recession and market correction into a decade-long nightmare. Now we're seeing the same Hoover-FDR style of bullying/bungling and an entire elite culture which has been so miseducated in their Ivy League socialist boot camps that the obvious basic economic facts of life are a mystery to them. This has even slopped over into the private sector. The larger a corporation becomes the more out of touch with economic reality and bloated with layers of bureaucracy it becomes. Now we're seeing more and more companies coming to the government for a bailout so that the shareholders, who put up with endless mismanagement and government overregulation wont have to stop and think about where all this is going. Bear Stearns is a prime example. The government goes on a rampage yelling about how restrictive lending practices (requiring good credit and the mortgagee putting a certain percentage of the price down before a mortgage was given) were locking minorities and the working poor out of the housing market. Down go the fences and all of a sudden the housing market is filled with deadbeats and speculators, prices expand in a giant bubble which everybody mistakes for a real growth in equity and then POP! the bubble bursts. The government, which was instrumental in causing the problem in the first place, rushes in with hundreds of billions to 'prevent a disaster'.
Of course, this is not free money this is money that comes with strings attached; the banks will have to submit to the aforementioned 'depression-level regulation'. Now the same level of intervention is going to be applied to the energy industry. How many hundred-million windmills or solar panels will it take to produce the same amount of energy as one nuclear power plant and how much energy does it take to maintain and capture the energy those widespread 'alternative energy sources' will generate? We already know that Ethanol takes more energy to produce and distribute than you get from burning it, and that the federal subsidies have raised food prices dramatically (why arent the food executives being dragged in front of the Inquisitors?). Isnt the trend towards 'depression-level regulation' in all industries?
With the Republicans morphing into the "Me Too, Just Not As Much" milquetoasts, very similar to their clueless European 'center-right' counterparts, the people who disagree with the direction in which things are going find themselves on the outside with nowhere to turn. If enough industries are subjected to 'Depression-Level Regulation' we are going to have a depression, probably similar to the negative-growth high unemployment European welfare states. That would be bleak enough if we were financially solvent but we are not. There is a coming moment of truth when the declining economy wont pay for all the annuities, subsidies and transfer payments. Lowering the productivity of the economy and destroying individual incentive, creating a culture where a fat 401k and an early retirement from your meaningless middle-management job becomes the ultimate achievement and losing all sight of the principles and the vision that made us the leader of the world, the place where almost all new ideas and technical innovations originated, ensures that the perceived value of all pensions and transfer payments such as Social Security are vastly overinflated. When people realize that the paper promises they staked their future hopes on are nearly worthless that realization is going to cause political panic. I fear the next few years.

We need to revisit that 3am phone call. That image has been worrying me. All three of our esteemed presidential contenders dont strike me as the type of people that would have the quality that Ulysses S Grant was said to have had called 'two o'clock in the morning courage'. When Sherman woke Grant up after the first day of Shiloh and told him that his army had been driven back against the river Grant replied steadily, "Thats alright, we'll whip'em tomorrow." Hard to imagine that sort of reaction from any of the three geniuses we get to choose from in this contest.

Scenario #1-- The White House phone rings. Michele's hand reaches out of the covers and lifts the receiver. Now, Michele, politically speaking, comes across as angry and argumentative. Tall and physically fit, ready to wrassle. And after a hard day of raising taxes, cutting the military and tightening the gag on talk radio what better sport for president Obama then to corner and mount this wild firebrand, using the last ounces of his already depleted energy and finally rolling over into a comatose sleep. Yes, Michele would be no Bess Truman, Mamie Eisenhower or Barbara Bush. She is hot, the kind of woman who needs to be tamed nightly. So the phone is raised to her ear,
"Yeah, what you want?"
"Say what? The Chinese are doing what?"
"You want me to wake him up for that?"
"Well you go tell that Secretary of Whatever The F--k It Is that I aint waking my man up for some Chinese bull---t and if he keeps on calling this late I'm going to come over there and kick his...."

scenario #2-- The White House phone rings. The wrinkled hand gropes in the dark blindly. The phone continues to ring as finally the gnarled fingers grasp the receiver and the other hand reaches into the glass for the now-clean false teeth so necessary to make one understood.
"Yeah, who is this? Who? Mr President? Who's the President? What? I'm the President!? So why are you calling me? I cant hear you. Is this Vice President Lieberman? Chinese what? Gristles? Well eat at a better restaurant! Missiles? What? Why are you phoning me? I dont have any Chinese missiles! Oh, I'm the President! Right, and dont you forget it , buddy!"
Slam.

scenario #3-- She's dreaming again of the descending, corkscrewing aircraft dodging the Chinese anti-aircraft missiles the Chicoms gave to the Serbs, the ones whose accuracy increased so greatly after the five million dollar campaign contribution her and Bill had worked so hard to collect from the Buddhist Nuns-- what a fuss that doltish chump of an Algore made when we sent him to LA to pick it up! In her dreams the bullets were whizzing by on the runway as she ran for the crude, sandbagged bunker into which she dove for cover. Somewhere, in the noise of the bombardment the phone was ringing, and ringing. Even the two Vicodins she washed down with savage gulps of Wild Turkey straight from the bottle (all those years in Arkansas taught her how unnecessary a glass was when you needed to get some sleep) hadnt been able to drown out the squeals of the interns from the Lincoln Bedroom and she needed two more of the blessed little white caplets and the rest of the bottle to finally black out. But the ringing...the doleful dream of bursting artillery shells, the little girl throwing the flowers into the medivac helicopter, which explodes, the girl torn apart as Robert Duvall, standing on the skid... ring, ring
"Huuuuuuuhhhhh. Yeah. Whaddaya want?"
"Chinese what...we'll tell'em to leave the cash with Cynthia...er, I mean Vice President McKinney...they're doing WHAT?"
"Well..."(long pause as she nods out and regains consciousness)
"Nuke'em!"

The rest is silence.

I turned the key to start my car (a favorite terrorist trick is to wire an explosive charge to the ignition) and backed out of my driveway onto the steep hillside street where cars sometimes speed murderously, unstoppably fast and drove to the stop sign. Fortunately my brakes worked, if I had not stopped I would have been squashed flat by a fast-moving garbage truck. As I continued on my short journey I continued to nearly miss other motorists by a mere ten or twenty yards in some cases and the road rage shootings so common to Southern California did not occur. I walked across the Target parking lot, narrowly avoiding being run over by dangerous mini-van driving housewives. Even though many people describe these warm, sunny days as 'earthquake weather' my entire ten-minute sojourn inside the store was uninterrupted by any serious ground tremors, the precariously balanced merchandise remained on the shelves.
In the end, I returned home safely.
I'm not telling you this so that you'll think that I'm brave, or that I worry that my lack of military experience makes me a coward so I overcompensate by living such a danger-filled existence. NO! I tell you this to make the point that maybe you did join the Marines during the Viet Nam War and were in an infantry company and you did four tours but people like me and Hillary Clinton have been there too. We've walked the walk and now we're talking the talk! We're brave in the face of imaginary snipers. So she wasnt at Khe Sanh, she still almost ran to the hanger from her luxury jet during her visit to a peacekeeping mission which had the same number of casualties as the mission that got John Kerry his Bronze Star. You guys probably think that driving down to Target to get my wife some Band-Aids is just nothing...I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED EVERY MINUTE! I think that Hillary's stint on the front lines of death cancels out that Congressional Medal Of Honor McCain got lounging around in the Hanoi Hilton, watching cable TV and filing habeas corpus briefs in the North Vietnamese Appellate System.

I just was reading my last post and the other I did on The Right Reverend Wright and something struck me. I criticized the wacky distortions of reality that pass for wisdom among the left-wing black political community in a way that implies that the left-wing white community is somehow more rational. That is racism. Its falling into the trap set for us all by the odious and vile Clintons.
Is the idiocy that leaps from the mouth of that mendacious waste of human protoplasm who is the Senior Senator from New York, the oily and egregious Chucky-Schmucky Schumer, any more correct or logical than that which emerges from the bug-eyed rant of a Maxine Waters? It is, in fact, not only less rational but it is much more malicious and knowingly untrue. And the Schumckster is no stranger to racism, as the disgraceful campaign his Democratic Senatorial Committee waged against Michael Steele in Maryland, complete with illegally stolen credit records and tossed Oreo cookies would indicate. The Schmuckster was deep in the Valerie Plame Affair, an attempt to put one of his political opponents (Karl Rove) in jail on a charge he knew from the beginning was false.
The Right Reverend Wright said "God Damn America" but that loathesome, hairy ball of greasy fat John Murtha accused Marines in combat of murder not only before the trial but before the investigation. This flagrantly corrupt left-wing porker represents a district of the type of older, ethnic, rust-belt, welfare-state leeches who are the target demographic of the Clinton Crime Family's anti-negro pogrom. Are Murtha's statements any different than John Conyers' ? One way to tell would be to ask yourself how often Murtha is quoted in Al Jezira, the media outlet for terrorist organizations and looney Islamic conspiracy nuts, compared to Conyers; Murtha lots, Conyers never. Murtha has taken every effort to degrade America's ability to fight the Islamonazis and help them to victory. He does this out of sheer left-wing bile. The fat slob racist union-hall radical swine that vote this so-called liberal into office every two years are exactly the people most angered by The Right Reverend Wright's offensive ravings and the most blind to the results of the radical redistribution of wealth proposed by this Stalinist wart-hog.
Little Dick Durban and his comparison of our troops as worse than members of organizations who murdered innocent people with sledgehammers to save ammunition and his constant attacks on our country, his idiotic schemes to nationalize the economy and his lust for high taxes is no more sane than Cynthia McKinney; they both have exactly the same political agendas.
The Uriah Heep of American politics, the ever-whining and cringing Harry Reid, from a state that I formerly called my home and one which used to be sensible until it was flooded with moronic senior citizens and tax refugees from California who brought with them their left wing political stupidity and voting habits; does he ever say anything worth hearing between trying to kill the Patriot Act and announcing that his pals in Al Qaeda have won the war in Iraq?
Is George Soros, the currency-trading, anti-Western parasite who funds every psychotic radical cause in the country and works every day to suppress free speech and free enterprise, is he any more savory than The Right Reverend Wright?
But there is a tie for the most irresponsible, destructive, dishonest, hateful, racist political figures in America; Bull Clinton and Lil' Miss Hilly. Tearing the Democratic Party to pieces with a racist assault after they've lost the legitimate contest to Barak Obama is just par for the course for America's First Black president and his little Wifey. The stream of lies that they have emitted for the last 16 years outdoes anything, however irrational or crazy, that any political figure, black or white, has ever been capable of in our history. Their flagrant breaking of the law, the phony anecdotes that pop up like magic to lace their tales of the socialist miracle to come under Clinton III, the snarling threats of revenge against anyone who they see as having crossed them have, up to now, been overlooked by all their fellow libs as just the Clints being the Clints but you know, when you look at Obama, a leftist, sure, and even The Right Reverend Wright there is not one tenth of the evil there that there is in the Clintons and in the blue collar pigs who are willing to drop all the Civil Rights rhetoric and come a-runnin' as soon as Miz Hilly stands on the porch and bangs on the swill-bucket of giveaway nirvana.
So I want to apologize to any black people who are reading this. Its not the black political culture which is deranged and dysfunctional its the liberal political culture, black, white, brown, red, yellow and in between which is, and I fell, hook, line and sinker for the lure of the racist attack on Obama by people who are worse and a thousand times more dangerous. I'm ashamed of myself.
My daughter sent me a link to help me feel better.

Later, Lincoln told a friend: "I thought the best way to get rid of them was to tell the story of Sykes' yellow dog. Have you ever heard about Sykes' yellow dog?"

Sykes, as the President explained, was a childhood acquaintance who had a yellow dog he was very fond of, but the other children hated. They finally decided to deal with the dog by wrapping a piece of meat around a blasting cap. They whistled for the dog, and when he came to chew on the meat, they lit the fuze. The dog was blown to bits, and when Sykes came out to investigate, he picked up the tail and the pieces connected to it, saying: "Well, I guess he'll never be much account again, as a dog." Lincoln, having reached the punchline, added the moral: "I guess Pemberton's forces will never be much account again as a army."

Obama was a political candidate the voters were becoming fond of but the Clinton Children hated. they finally decided to deal with the candidate by launching an attack in the media against the dysfunctional black political culture that gave him his start in political life. Everyone always knew it was there, the Congressional Black Caucus has been talking like The Right Reverent Wright for decades. Does anyone remember Ron Dellums, a hate-filled, anti-American Marxist looney from the East Bay city of Oakland? Does anybody want to borrow my gold-bound copy of 'The Collected Speeches Of Maxine Waters'? Cynthia McKinney will provide further substantiation for this observation. The list is long. They get elected with 90% of the vote in their districts. This isnt anything that is news to anybody, either. White people just dont want to be seen as racist for criticizing or even closely analyzing the irrational conspiracy theories that abound in the black community because the basis for it is sometimes legitimate. Yes there was a Tuskegee Program. It was as sick as the experiments that totalitarian regimes run on inmates of their prisons and concentration camps. There were, up until the 1960's, real barriers to black people living a free, normal life in this country. In the intervening half-century this has become the country where black people have more freedom and opportunity than they do in any other country. A third of the population of Jamaica live here. Haitians dont sail towards Venezuela or Brazil, they come here. Some of the most enthusiastic Americans I've ever met were from Africa or the Caribbean. The funny thing is , I dont think middle class American blacks are on board with the loonies either but they're not about to get in some debate with a bug-eyed fanatic who's going to start screaming "Uncle Tom" at them.
But now, the subject has been raised by a desperate, ruthless, destructive political hack in a last-ditch effort to save her dying presidential hopes. Criticizing black political culture is not racism but trying to link your political opponent to it and stir up anger and division most certainly is. Hillary's attack through the media (amazingly coincidental that this story broke all over the media, from right to left, on the same day) is a call to White America to Vote White. The fact that this is true validates every paranoid looney in the black community and sets race relations in this country back quite a ways. Its a political and social blasting cap wrapped with a juicy piece of red meat in the form of The Right Reverend Wright's gentle sermonizing, which he was good enough to record on DVD for posterity and Hillary Clinton's opposition research team. You know, I guess Obama will never be much account again, as a candidate. Neither will she. This slimy trick has torn the Democratic Party apart and made them BOTH unelectable. Yesterday the pollster Scott Rasmussen said that John McLame was the luckiest guy since Ringo Starr. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!

Lets leave sweltering, dusty L.A. to the Mexicans. Its only going to get worse what with all that Global warming going on. You people are just using too much toilet paper and the wrong kind of light bulbs. In fact, I dont think you carbon criminals are ever going to change your evil ways and care about Algore's planet. What to do? Well, I dont know about you Bozos but I'm going to grab some Arctic Ocean beachfront property before it gets too expensive. Unless...
Those of us who want to profit from Global Warming have had some terrible shocks lately. National Public radio has an article on its website talking about how an intensive five-year state-of-the-art program to monitor global ocean temperatures found that global ocean temperatures went down! There's a lot of head-scratching in the article; if Global Warming is an established, incontrovertible fact then how do you explain something this big? They try but it is through a disturbing, convoluted thought process that is, ahem, somewhat unconvincing.
Which brings us to the second article in our set. This one fed random data into the climate model that got Algore's 'hockey stick' temperature graph, which showed a flat, stable climate until the late 20th century when it shoots up sharply, and found that any data inputted into this computer model will produce the same result. This 'hockey stick' business was always a bit suspicious because the historical record shows a wide swing in world temperatures over time... with the higher temperature times coinciding with times of prosperity and social stability and the cooler eras, especially the cooling in the fifth-seventh centuries and 'Little Ice Age' from 1300-1850, coinciding with times of chaos, anarchy and starvation. After all, the earliest civilizations arose in China, Mesopotamia and Egypt rose as temperatures increased at the end of the Ice Age and made the social organization necessary to create huge irrigation systems and more complex social organizations to regulate them.
The third article in this set is an attack by Michelle Malkin on the phony temperature data collected by NASA to back up the contention that the 1990's were the warmest decade of the 20th century. Temperature monitoring stations were purposely placed in places (on asphalt, etc.) that caused false high readings. When the data was 'adjusted' for this 'error' it turns out that the 20's and the 30's were just as hot or hotter.
So much for the science being 'established'. This last colder-than-average winter and all this contradictory data are bringing into stark relief the politically self-serving motives of the ideologues who are pushing this bogus science as a justification for a government takeover of the world economy. Well, not the world economy, because the Chicoms, the Indians and every other nation that doesnt want to live in grass huts for the rest of eternity are treating this with the contempt it deserves; just the economies of the media-obsessed developed nations whose citizens can be reduced to tears by pictures of polar bears on melting ice flows and whose educational systems have become so dysfunctional that most people arent aware of what a total disaster government-planned economies are for the people who live in them. The fact that the eco-morons who are so obsessed with greenhouse gases refuse to consider greenhouse friendly nuclear power as an option should show how politically motivated this whole business is. The chaotic idiocy of ethanol production, raising food prices and energy prices without increasing the availability of renewable energy is another good example of the stupidity of a government-mandated program to fix the weather. In the end all the Global Warming palliatives offered by the advocates of this theory seem to involve steep tax increases.
So before you purchase that beachside condo in Point Barrow, Alaska you might want to remember something; if the eco-loonies win this November they will take steps to shut down the American economy, something leftists have proven they can achieve very ably. The collapse of the economy, along with the mass starvation the end of our global food distribution system will entail, will certainly lower the output of greenhouse gases. Only a few chosen aristocrats will have any modern conveniences while the mass of surviving helots will be eking a rude, primitive existence from a harsh, unforgiving Earth.

1998-was-not-the-warmest-year-in-the-millenium/

There are two issues that separate most Americans from their elitist leadership class; open borders and our relationship with the Chicoms. While any reasonable person that looks at China can only feel disgust with their internal policies and alarm as they rapidly build their military and become more and more belligerent internationally world leaders seem happy to ignore their militaristic threats. The Chicoms have brazenly and more or less openly been handing the Clintons millions of dollars in illegal campaign contributions for fifteen years and have been happy to shelter people that are under investigation by US authorities for facilitating those illegal transfers from answering any questions, possibly keeping them on tap to blackmail the sleazy Clints. The Chicoms have threatened nuclear war over Tiawan. They have shipped poison medicines, toys and pet food ingredients into our country.
Now in the run-up to the Olympic Games, a contest beloved of thuggish dictatorships since the 1936 Berlin Olympics, the Chicoms' glaring human rights and environmental abuses are being highlighted as they react savagely to anything they feel will mar their image in the eyes of the world. Of course, like all ham-handed thugs their violence-prone inhumanity leads them to commit horrors that define them as even more brutal and stupid.
While the well-educated and well-heeled in our society grovel and kowtow to the Chicoms, either for profit or ideology, the communist regime has launched an assault on the already oppressed people of Tibet. They are accusing the Dalai Lama of being a violent revolutionary, stirring up 'trouble' for the benevolent Beijing commies. They have threatened their neighbors in Nepal to close climbing treks on the Nepalese side of Mt. Everest. Stories are filtering from Lhasa of repression and massacre. Heard any denunciations by any world leader? Heard anything even approaching the meek, timid criticism of the Chinese-sponsored genocide in Darfur (usually the critics dont mention the key role the oil-greedy Chicoms play in that doleful conflict)? No you havent, and you wont. Our gutless leaders and their business cronies have too much of a stake in the continued prosperity of the Chicom agenda.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, we're daily accused of being environmental criminals. We use criminal light bulbs and too many sheets of toilet paper, condemning the helpless polar bears to a watery grave. We're enjoined to analyze our every action in the context of the 'carbon footprint' that we will leave. Movies like 'Micheal Clayton' and 'Erin Brokavitch' encourage us to fear the water we drink and hate the greedy capitalists who are conspiring to poison us and cash in on the results. Meanwhile, the Kyoto-ignoring Chicoms are in a crash program of building coal-fired electrical generators. The air in Beijing, and every other Chinese city are thick with poisonous fumes. Their leaking chemical plants have poisoned entire rivers and when the local authorities in Harbin were given money to purchase bottled water for the population whose water supply had become undrinkable they pocketed the money and turned the guns of the riot police on the desperate mobs of thirst-crazed citizens. No international conference has ever called, in the name of the environment, for any kind of investigation into the foul and dangerous Chicom chemical industry. Food exported to the US has turned out to be adulterated with industrial waste, highlighting the state of the Chinese internal food supply. The government and its business cronies are corrupt and greedy and retaliate with hot vengence to any criticizism.
Do you like pets? Your love is not shared by the authorities in Beijing. Worried that unsightly animals will mar the picture-perfect image these ghouls think they can project they have been spreading rumors about how dangerous and disease-ridden cats are. Thousands are being beaten to death or rounded up and sent to their destruction. Expect a wave of fur coats Made In China to appear on the shelves of your local big-box store soon. There is a similar campaign against dogs.
The athletes who are going to have to compete in this coal dust soup are already being intimidated and bullied for asking whether its safe to strain oneself in air that toxic and the various national sports authorities are also being pressured and threatened to ensure good behavior. There is currently an internet crackdown going on in China so any alternative news sources will not emerge to report any untoward occurances. Political opponents, homeless people and anyone the regime finds unphotogenic are scheduled for roundup in the weeks preceding the games. I'm sure whatever networks are going to cover the events have been thoroughly acquainted with the consequences of unfavorable reports emerging from the Worker's Paradise'.
So, should we boycott the Olympics? The inferior coverage by the US networks (concentrating only on US athletes and hopping aimlessly from event to event) makes this easy. It also would be great to discomfit the band of high-brow parasites who run the International Olympic Committee. But in the end my wife will turn on the ice-skating and a few other favorite events and I'll get sucked into it too. But the nature of the regime that is staging this year's Olympic Games should never be far from our minds, and the nature of the politicians in this country who kowtow to their agenda and even accept millions of their illegal campaign dollars should also be in our thoughts.
