Berkeley council tells Marines to leave

Hey-hey, ho-ho, the Marines in Berkeley have got to go.

That’s the message from the Berkeley City Council, which voted 6-3 Tuesday night to tell the U.S. Marines that its Shattuck Avenue recruiting station “is not welcome in the city, and if recruiters choose to stay, they do so as uninvited and unwelcome intruders.”

I’d bet that in addition to wanting the Marines gone they’d be thrilled for Al-Jazeera to open up a bureau or for Al-Qaeda to open up a recruitment station within the city limits of Berkley.

The other day Carrie and I had a conversation about the choices for President on the Democrat side. Yes you all know that I’m a conservative but I still look at whoever is running form each and every party because in the end I want the best person for the job no matter what party they’re from.

So what were our thoughts on the big three Dems?

Hillary Clinton: While Bill was all about the perks of power (not necessarily the responsibilities that come with it) Hillary has always come off that she’s into the power. The politician that she reminds me the most of is Stalin so you can say that I really hope that she is not the nominee.

Barak Obama: He comes off as an honest politician. Note that I didn’t say he was one as being a Chicago politician he has to be totally corrupt but he comes across as honest. With that his views that if we just talked to Iran, Syria, Venezuela and other despots and dictatorships they’d stop plotting to kill us and become our best buddies is to put it dangerously naive. He’s the Neville Chamberlain of this election.

John Edwards: He’s a sleezy ambulance chasing liar. His whole campaign is not about bringing us together, it’s about how we’re all divided. Remember according to him there are two Americas…people with swimming pool full of cash like Edwards and then the rest of us. He just reminds me of a used car salesman.

So who would be the best out of the three, Stalin, Chamberlain or the liar? Sadly I have to hope that the liar Edwards wins as I have a little hope that we’ll still be standing in four years from now.

A friend was extremely down the other day. He just wasn’t happy with where he was in life. To him everything just plain sucked.

“It could be a whole lot worse” I said to cheer him up.

“How” he replied?

“Well you could be married to Celine Dion.”

A puzzled look came across his face.

“You see yes while being married to her would give you access to untold wealth which with you could acquire vast quantities of alcohol in order to quiet her annoying voice and make her look attractive. While the booze would help still every once in a while you’d wake up sober, hung over and most importantly next to her.”

So no matter how things go up or down on this roller coaster called life always remember it could be a whole lot worse.

NBC Rejects Ad From Conservative Group

NBC has rejected a TV ad by Freedom’s Watch, a conservative group that supports administration policy in Iraq, that asks viewers to remember and thank U.S. troops during the holiday season.

NBC said it declined to air the ad because it refers to the group’s Web site, which the network said was too political, not because of the ad’s message.

Of course they’ll run any video put out by Osama Bin Laden for free because his views aren’t not “too political”.

Check out this sale from Spirit Airlines:

Do you know what “MILF” means in internet terminology? Well it means “mother I’d like to (place the appropriate “F” word here)”. This is as about as intelligent as McDonalds “I’d Hit It” campaign.

Instead of jumping on some word of phrase that sounds cool these companies might want to look up what they mean first.

Al Gore, UN Panel Share Nobel for Peace

I didn’t know the Nobel Peace Prize was given out for fiction?

For anyone left or right or middle of the road who enjoys our first amendment rights this should be frightening:

Rep. Henry Waxman has asked his investigative staff to begin compiling reports on Limbaugh, and fellow radio hosts Sean Hannity and Mark Levin based on transcripts from their shows, and to call in Federal Communications Commission chairman Kevin Martin to discuss the so-called “Fairness Doctrine.”

“Limbaugh isn’t the only one who needs to be made uncomfortable about what he says on the radio,” says a House leadership source. “We don’t have as big a megaphone as these guys, but this all political, and we’ll do what we can to gain the advantage. If we can take them off their game for a while, it will help our folks out there on the campaign trail.”

So since they’re compiling dossiers on those they disagree with on talk radio why not start one on you or me? From there it’s not too far to go to ship political “undesirables” off to “re-education camps” just like they did in the Soviet Union. I’d say the same thing if this were Republicans looking into Air America. This is wrong.

“Your stereotypical donut is nothing but dough and sugar fried in fat. Am I right? Now that fat gums up your arteries and goes to your brain and you turn liberal and the next thing you know Barry Manilow is on the turntable and you’re not going to work and you’re voting for gun control.”

God I miss un-PC shows like Sledge Hammer.

You’ve got to love how a party whose members have declared the guilt of US Servicemen before all the facts are in or even a trial, compared our military to those who ran the Gulags in the Soviet Union and political action groups smear our Generals thinks they can act all high and mighty about patriotism or defending our troops.

Oh, by the way the anti-war soldier that Rush called a “phony soldier” in fact flunked out before boot camp was over, was never an Army Ranger was never in Iraq and never witnessed atrocities committed by our soldiers like he and the rest of the left who held him high as an anti-war poster boy claimed.

U.S. May Escort Ahmadinejad to Ground Zero

In a move that has stunned New York, the Bloomberg administration is in discussions to escort the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, to ground zero during his visit to New York next week, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said today.

I’d say no to him for a number of reasons like for one how he is a sponsor of terrorism including those who took the towers down. This should be handled like we took care of Nikita Khrushchev’s request to go to Disneyland. We said no on security reasons and should say no here as I’m certain that there are quite a few who would like to off that bastard especially while he’s walking around ground zero with that smug smile that he has.

No.
