The Amazing Ann Coulter

Why is the Republican Party debasing itself?

By Ann Coulter

Email this article

http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | In addition to supporting Democrat Joe Lieberman over Republican Alan Schlesinger in Connecticut, President Bush is supporting the Democrat over the Republican in Rhode Island, too. In the Republican primary, Bush supports Lincoln Chafee — who votes with Bush on the important issues less often than Sen. Lieberman does — over the only actual Republican in the race, Stephen Laffey.


Apart from Bush, the only person who hasn't figured out that Lincoln Chafee is a Democrat is Lincoln Chafee. As the expression goes, if Chafee switched parties, the average IQ on both sides of the aisle would go up.


It's hard to figure why Bush would support a half-wit like Lincoln Chafee. Maybe he believes his own poll numbers and is trying to help the conservatives by endorsing their opponents.


After Chafee's family money got him into Andover and Brown, he made his living shoeing horses for seven years. In fact, I've often wondered if an errant kick to the head by one of his charges would account for Chafee's rudimentary cognitive abilities.


That remains Chafee's only professional accomplishment — unless you include the "fun zone" for kids on his official Senate Web site. Perhaps we could install a "play zone" like they have at McDonald's in the Senate well to keep Chafee occupied while the real senators go about their business.


When the farrier business proved too taxing for Chafee's intellect, he went into the family business — politics. His father died in office, and Lincoln was appointed by the governor to serve out the remainder of Pop's term in the U.S. Senate. (I know Rhode Island is small, but couldn't they find someone who reads books right side up to fill the seat?) In terms of qualifications for the job, Chafee makes Michael Brown look like Donald Rumsfeld.


Chafee is everything the Democrats like to claim Republicans are, which we are not and they are: silver-spoon morons who get ahead on the basis of family connections (for example, Ned the Red Lamont in Connecticut).


The only reason Chafee calls himself a Republican is that he believes that everyone above a certain income level is required by law to do so.


He learned this from reading "Doonesbury" and watching "The West Wing" while studiously ignoring blindingly obvious facts like: Sens. Teddy Kennedy (inherited millions), John Kerry (married millions — twice, lucky guy), Sen. Herbert H. Kohl (inherited millions), John D. Rockefeller (inherited millions), Mark Dayton (inherited millions), Dianne Feinstein (married millions) and aspiring senator Ned the Red (inherited millions). All Democrats.


In addition to the Democratic trait of having absolutely no idea how wealth is generated, Chafee's other Democratic characteristics include:

  • supporting gay marriage;
  • supporting abortion;
  • opposing the war in Iraq;
  • opposing tax cuts.


Stop complaining about taxes — just live off your trust fund like a normal person! Taxes, I note, have virtually no bearing on someone who is not currently earning an income but living off incomes earned generations ago by better men than he.


Chafee even voted against Samuel Alito's nomination to the Supreme Court.


Republicans are always told we're supposed to vote for Fidel Dumbo if he has an "R" after his name so Republican nominees will be confirmed to the Supreme Court. That is true: Save terrorism, there is no more important issue than a president's Supreme Court nominees. But Bush had two Supreme Court nominees and Chafee voted against 50 percent of them, so Chafee doesn't even have that argument going for him.


Chafee explained his vote against Alito — but for John Roberts — by invoking the Democrats' idiotic talking point about maintaining "balance" on the court.


"Balance," like "meaningful consultation with the Senate before choosing the nominee," means precisely one thing: a Republican is in the White House. Democrats subscribe to the Brezhnev doctrine: "What we have, we hold." Their interpretation of elections they win by a plurality is that they have a mandate for Ruth Bader Ginsburg; their interpretation of elections they lose is that this means they get to block all Republican nominees.


Steve Laffey is the molecular opposite of Chafee: He is smart, self-made — and a Republican. He is one of five children and was the first member of his family to go to college — Bowdoin College, and then on to Harvard Business School. He was president of a brokerage firm, a position he acquired by hard work and native talent, not by attending his father's funeral.


Laffey is the sort of decent, talented person that makes you wonder why he would bother entering an irritating profession like politics. But he did, becoming mayor of Cranston, R.I., when the city was near bankruptcy. Within two years, Laffey had raised Cranston's bond rating from the lowest in the country to investment grade, earning him the sobriquet "the anti-Dennis Kucinich."


True, Rhode Island is an overwhelmingly Democratic state, and the chances of any Republican winning the general election are slim. But that's no reason for the Republican Party to debase itself by running someone dysfunctional and illiterate enough to appeal to Democrats.

US Rep. tells the truth!

CNN: MIAMI, Florida (AP) -- U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris told a religious journal that separation of church and state is "a lie" and God and the nation's founding fathers did not intend the country be "a nation of secular laws."

Talk about your "Real Clear Polotics"...

Harris went on to say Separation of church and state is "a lie we have been told," Harris said in the interview, published Thursday, saying separating religion and politics is "wrong because God is the one who chooses our rulers."

She is absolutely correct. It has always bothered me that nobody has ever called this what it is. The 1st Amendment is used to keep Jesus' name out of public school addresses and such, when the Amendment clearly says,

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

It is obvious that the amendment is geared toward congress not making a law that establishes a State Religeon.

Good for Mrs. Harris.

It wasn't Bush, Zionists, Health Care, or Big Oil; it was my own fault

I ran across a story on the net today that struck a little close to home. Before you laugh at this clip, remember, I did it before this guy. Thank God my incident didn't end up in the headlines.
.......................................


mcall.com: DUI suspect sobers up for court
Nesquehoning man came drunk for initial sentencing Monday.
By Bob Laylo Of The Morning Call

A Nesquehoning man who came drunk to Carbon County Court
on Monday to be sentenced in a drunken driving case will
likely spend more time in jail.
...............................................

Yep, I'll admit it; I showed up for sentencing on a DUI charge drunk back around 1994. I went into the court room after having finished off two bottles of Mogan David 20/20 ("Mad Dog" 20/20) wine earlier that morning.

When I say that I used to be a raging alcoholic, I mean that I was totally consumed by it. Alcohol was all that I thought about. I didn't care about anyone but myself, and how I was going to get drunk again. Be it family or friend, I only thought about the next drink. Even my own child was merely an obstacle in the way of my finding a bottle.

Now, obviously, when I heard the judge say, “I want to see you in my chambers; now!” that afternoon in court, I should have come to my senses, but I didn’t. Even after he sentenced me to a year of house arrest, probation, mandatory AA meetings three times a week, and weekends in jail I hadn’t truly given up alcohol. I was sober for most of that year, but I was still an alcoholic; waiting to be freed from the system again. I stayed sober for the duration of the sentence, and resumed drinking as soon as I had the opportunity. Literally, within about two weeks I was at it again. Three times a week, for an entire year, I had listened to that group of people in those meetings. I knew the routine, I knew their stories, and I knew what each had chosen as their "Higher Power" (I even had my own Higher Power, who I called “god”). Most of them had no hope, other than that very moment in time, their sponsor, and the “Higher Power, in whom they chose to believe in”.

I reached a point in my life where I was starting to lose my mind. I was having hallucinations and panic attacks that started around 9:00 in the morning, and lasted until I could get drunk again. I was vomiting blood on bad days, and pooping blood on the good ones. My wife had left me; my car was repossessed, my landlord kicked me out, I sold my guitar for booze money, and my boss fired me for coming in smelling like liquor. I had absolutely no reason to live. I decided to call out to that “Higher Power” that I had been referring as “god” in all of those AA meetings.

I don’t recall one single person in any of those meetings that ever found salvation from their “Higher Power”. Here, all of these alcoholics were calling their wallet, or Buddha, or Oprah, or pay check; anything they could think of their “Higher Power”, and not one of them had ever been able to say, “I’m no longer an alcoholic. I have been healed of that sickness.” That is of course except for me and one other guy. We both (a couple years apart) found out that you can have all of the “Higher Powers” you want, but there is really only one. You could say that he is “The Highest Power”. Today, because of Him, you can call me a fanatic, you can call me corny, or you can call me a religious nut job - whatever you want, but you can not, today, call me an alcoholic. I have been free from alcohol for 8 year now.

Don’t think for a second that I am naïve. I never said that I do not have the occasional urge to drink, nor did I say that I quit one day and haven’t touched it since. I came out of it slowly, over about a year’s time and I screwed up repeatedly along the way. I tried very hard during those last four years to quit. I hated myself. Though I tried vehemently, I could not quit.

I was offered good help many, many times, and many times I took them up on it. That never changed the fact that I could not quit. I had been to rehab three times. I was kicked out of one, “completed” another, and checked myself out of the last. The last one was the VA Hospital in Danville, IL. The doctors there told me that I had less than a year to live if I continued to drink. To emphasize the point, they put me in a two man room with a severely bloated yellow man named John who was dying from jaundice of the liver. John died in his sleep three days after I became his roommate. The day before John died he told me, “Don’t do what I did Aaron, please, don’t do what I did every chance that he had. I must have heard it fifteen times that day. I still think about it. A few weeks later I left. Within minutes after leaving, I was drunk.

I do not walk around with a 2,92 Day Token in my pocket today. I don’t know what tomorrow will bring, but I have confidence someone that is already there, waiting on me. I am free today because of Jesus Christ. I choose to call Him “Yeshua HaMashiac”. Any way you slice it, He is the God of Israel; my King, my Redeemer, my Friend, my Savior, my “Token of Days Without Number”. He has made me free. Do you want to hear something ironic? While Millions of people are out there trying to choose their own Higher Power; be it a guitar, a wedding ring or a dollar bill,

...mine chose me.

If you are struggling with this sickness, you need to know that He is calling your name too – all you have to do is “choose to believe” in Him, and you will soon find out that He has chosen you as well.

Blame George "The Hurricane" Bush - not Iran

I just spent the last half of an hour looking at what the left has to say about George W. Bush. Before you click the “Random Blog” button on the top, hear me out.

Our country is in deep. We have actually become so complacent, so mind-numbingly ignorant of the world around us that there are actually people out there (unfortunately many more than I would like to admit to) that believe – I mean truly, deep in their gut – believe that George W. Bush created all of the tension in the Middle East (including that of the last 2000 years, I assume). That’s not all though; many of these same people also believe that George W. Bush is single handedly destroying the environment, causing cataclysmic hurricanes to devastate parts of the U.S. (not without reason though; he has done this to eliminate blacks on poverty, and simultaneously raise oil prices... he is a “Big Oil” man, you know), undermine the American Middle Class, demolish Free Speech, and lead the world into some mega-apocalyptic catastrophe via any one of his “secret society” memberships (Masons, Skull & Bones, etc.). At any given moment, on any day of the week, just search Blogger for Bush or Iran; you’ll see what I mean (be sure to read the comments - they really show their true colors in the comments).

The people who are making these claims all seem to believe that either they or their favorite Democratic candidate could do a better job. In making their case though, they (as a whole – there are some who do not fit this mold, though very few) use language that is reminiscent of a drunken high school party; “F*&^%^ Bush and his cronies!! If I were in there, that F#$^% B%$&*&^% would get his F%%* “...

I ask you honestly, are we supposed to take the Democratic Party seriously, when these are the people who are endorsing it on a public level? I wouldn’t even trust the least one of these disrespectful degenerates to feed my wiener-dog if I were going on vacation! Is that how they would address the nation? “My fellow F$%#&* Americans... Ahaminajabubba had it right – he’s an alright guy, dudes. We are going to pull our F^&*@* troops out of that SH%&^@H&^&@ today!”

Never in our nation’s history has there been such a far left; so far in fact, that even if you are middle of the road, you appear to be a “Right Wing Nut-job”. All you have to do is be patriotic – yes, I said it – patriotic; or have the slightest will to win; or refuse to “Flip-flop” on issues that you believe in (just ask Joe Lieberman) ; or love Jesus; or hold yourself and your family to a high standard of morals; or study history; or believe the Bible; or call Islamofascists by name; or be able to hold an intelligent conversation without using foul language, or be able to debate an issue without acting like a two-year old; the list goes on infinitely.

At this rate, we need not worry about the terrorist as much as ourselves. We are torn in two, and it appears to be to the core; one side is the product of a Nation that has turned it's back on all that is good and wholesome, while the other side quietly longs to have those days back.

King David wrote:

For, lo, the wicked bend [their] bow; they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? Psa 11:2-3

I never understood this passage before 2001. Why didn’t he answer the question?
Today, I understand why King David left the answer open. I am sure he was just as dumbfounded; as astonished and speechless at the wickedness going on in his day as we are in ours. What do you do when people are willingly ignorant - and proud of it?

So, I pose the question; “What are we to do?”

Sitting around and waiting for change is not an option.

Mutually assured destruction, just won't work any more

The following is a page from worldnetdaily.com in full:

NUCLEAR WAR-FEAR

WND: Cataclysm fears raised on Islamic 'holy' date
Mideast experts worry Islamic fanatics seeking heaven may spark violence

MAD, or mutually assured destruction, just won't work any more, according to one Mideast expert whose forecasts that the night of Aug. 22 may prove to be cataclysmic are fueling worry around the world.

Bernard Lewis of Princeton has had opinion pieces circulating for two weeks now about how that night, the anniversary of one of Islam's holiest events, could be a time Iran would pick to spark a battle Muslims believe forever will resolve the battle between "good" and "evil."

That MAD policy, which prevented nations for decades during the Cold War from pushing the button, isn't a realistic hope with fanatic Muslims, Lewis said.

"There is a radical difference between the Islamic Republic of Iran and other governments with nuclear weapons," Lewis writes. "This difference is expressed in what can only be described as the apocalyptic worldview of Iran's present rulers."

He said there is developing an "apparently callous unconcern" over who is a victim, or how many victims there are, for terrorists. Lewis believes the perception they hold is that in death any infidel, or non-Muslim, will go to a well-deserved punishment in hell while any Muslims would go straight to heaven.

According to this view, the bombers are in fact doing their Muslim victims a favor by giving them a quick pass to heaven and its delights – the rewards without the struggles of martyrdom. School textbooks tell young Iranians to be ready for a final global struggle against an evil enemy, named as the U.S., and to prepare themselves for the privileges of martyrdom, Lewis said.

He said while a direct attack on the U.S. is possible, Israel is a nearer and more likely target.

As WorldNetDaily has reported, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has urged his people to prepare for the coming of an Islamic "messiah," raising concerns a nuclear-armed Islamic Republic could trigger the kind of global conflagration he envisions will set the stage for the end of the world.

He's also said, in a WND report, that Islam and its followers must prepare to rule the world, because it is a "universal ideology that leads the world to justice."

Now comes Lewis, who notes that the world must be concerned about a leader for whom the possibility of death is not a deterrent.

"In this context, mutual assured destruction, the deterrent that worked so well during the Cold War, would have no meaning," Lewis wrote. "At the end of time, there will be general destruction anyway. What will matter will be the final destination of the dead – hell for the infidels, and heaven for the believers.

"For people with this mindset, MAD is not a constraint, it is an inducement," he said.

Lewis noted that Ahmadinejad has talked of Aug. 22 mulitiple times, a date that corresponds to the 27th day of the month of Rajab of the year 1427 for Muslims.

"This, by tradition, is the night when many Muslims commemorate the night flight of the prophet Muhammad on the winged horse Buraq, first to 'the farthest mosque,' usually identified with Jerusalem, and then to heaven and back," Lewis wrote.

Lewis wrote, "This might well be deemed an appropriate date for the apocalyptic ending of Israel and if necessary the world. It is far from certain that Mr. Ahmadanejad plans any such cataclysmic events precisely for Aug. 22. But it would be wise to bear the possibility in mind."

Lewis, the Cleveland E. Dodge professor emeritus of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University, specializes in Muslim history and interaction between Muslims and the West.

His comments echoed those made just a few days earlier by Robert Spencer, another scholar of Islamic history, theology and law and the director of Jihad Watch.

In an article for FrontPageMagazine.com, he wrote that Farid Ghadry, president of the Reform Party of Syria, noted the commemoration of Muhammad's ascent to heaven from the Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.

Also, "Atomic Iran" author Jerome Corsi notes that it's less significant whether Hezbollah survives, "but it's really the first chapter in the play for Iran and the Shiite Islam nation to come to ascendancy in the Muslim world."

In the updated edition of "Atomic Iran: How the Terrorist Regime Bought the Bomb and American Politicians," now available in paperback from WND Books, Corsi discusses many of the disturbing developments related to Iran.


Mang's Celebrity Watch: Bill and the Barries

We at MangDiddles don't usually watch celebrities. Celebrities upset my stomach.
There comes a time though, when certain celebrities who have touched our hearts in one way or another burst onto the front page, which leads me to a couple of under reported stories that I thought you might appreciate.

..................................................
Maynardije.org: Cosby Challenges Washington Post

"The Washington Post ran a clip and then they edited it and they had in what they wanted us to see these men saying," he said. "Unless I missed it, I heard not one black man say anything about being a father. I heard not one black man say, 'my responsibility,' not one. The edited version of these people with a camera on a drive-by – I'm looking to media. I don't like people who see and can't tell the truth. . . . A man tells me, 'It's not as bad as it seems.' I don't want to hear that s@#t."
........................................

Editors Note: Please note the use of the words, "drive-by". This is the same term that Rush Limbaugh uses for the media. Also, being as this is a Rated G website, please consider replacing Mr. Cosby's explicatave describing fecal matter with the word "poopy" when relaying this story to your children.

............................................

Next up in the Celebrity Watch - Barry Manilow.
Now, I am not a Manilow fan personally, but I am fully aware of the impact that Barry has on many MangDiddles fans; especially those in Thailand and St. Clare...
.............................................

LOS ANGELES Aug 18, 2006 (AP) Barry Manilow has canceled his three remaining performances at the Las Vegas Hilton to undergo surgery to repair torn cartilage in both hips, his publicist said.

........................................

In realated news, MangDiddles has obtained Exclusive photos of "The Barry" in which he may be showing his age a little, but appears to be getting along rather well in light of his bad hip. This photo was taken "somewhere in Barcelona".



CNN: We are not biased; MangDiddles: Uh... yes you are.


Recently, Ynetnews.com accused CNN of being biased in their reporting of the Hezbollah/Israel (33 Days) War.

Now, all of you Diddleheads out there know that MangDiddles also made this same claim, but I didn't receive a response from CNN - Ynet did:
................................................

CNN: We are not biased

Global news provider is the most reliable and trusted news organization in the world,
provided balanced coverage of Israel - Hizbullah war

*spit* #cough# !! ... read the whole thing if you have the belly for it.



Ultimately, The Islamofascists Lose

I keep getting asked, "How are you doing with all of this bad news?" or, "You doin' OK, with all of this going on?"

The answer is, "I am doing fine."
I've read the Book, and I know who wins - and it isn't the Islamofascists.
I've been reading a lot of God's Word these days, and being as it can never fully be searched out, I still have plenty of reading to go.

... Oh, and, I've been working on animated Gif's.




Annan sides with terrorists... again.

Yet again, Kofi Annan has sided with Hezbollah.
This only confirms the fact that the UN is a farce.
....................................................

jnewswire.com: Annan Abuses Power - Sides Again Against Israel
By Stan Goodenough
August 20, 2006

For the second time in a month, United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan revealed his pro-Arab bias at the weekend when, instead of condemning the Hizb’allah for breaking the terms of the ceasefire between it and Israel, he condemned Israel for acting in accordance with the provisions of that agreement.

Annan was backed up by his special Middle East envoy and also long-time critic of Israel, Terje Roed-Larsen. (emphasis, of course, mine)

Chinese diplomat tells US to "Shut Up"

Some rather disturbung, and under-publicised news from the The Telegraph.co.uk (though it was first reported By Harry Mount in New York):

.........................

One of China's most senior diplomats has made an extraordinary attack on America, saying that it should "shut up" about China's growing military capacity when America dominates global military spending.

Sha Zukang, China's ambassador to the UN in Geneva, launched his diatribe in an interview with the BBC yesterday during a progamme about China's booming economy and military strength.

"It is much better for you to shut up, keep quiet," the ambassador said, referring to America, raising his voice to a high-pitched yell. "Are you the number one? Is it true that the US has almost 50 per cent of the world's military budget? The Chinese population is five or six times bigger.
advertisement

Why blame China? Forget it. It's high time to shut up. It's America's sovereign right to do whatever is good for them. But don't tell us what is good for China."

The ambassador also said that China would be prepared to go to war with anyone over Taiwan.

"The moment Taiwan declares independence, supported by whoever, China will have no choice," he shrieked.
(emphasis mine)

Jimmy Carter: "Historical Facts can be Ignored"

I knew this was coming. "The Jimmy" has reared his ugly head again, and for the short time that his foot wasn't obstructing his speech, he had this to say (Interview with Spiegel):

..............................................

SPIEGEL: Should there be an international peacekeeping force along the Lebanese-Israeli border?

Carter: Yes.

SPIEGEL: And can you imagine Germans soldiers taking part?

Carter: Yes, I can imagine Germans taking part.

SPIEGEL: ... even with their history?

Carter: Yes. That would be certainly satisfactory to me personally, and I think most people believe that enough time has passed so that historical facts can be ignored. (Emphasis mine)

...Read the whole thing here.

...........................................

Ladies and gentlemen, DiddleHeads, we now see the reason why Democrats are so clueless when it comes to world history; “...enough time has passed so that historical facts can be ignored.”

It is no surprise that they insist on trying new resolutions and “peace” treaties, even though the success rate is zero. There has never been a resolution in the Middle East that has held up. If that were the case, the “Global Community” would not be questioning Israel’s right to exist.

Thanks, Jimmy – we can always count on you to reveal the heart of the Liberal.

It's a Girl!


I would like to congratulate our friends,
Toby and Kathy for the birth of their first baby,



Eliza Jane

According to this website, Eliza is short for Elizabeth, and means, "God's Oath" (you can see the word God as Eli, as in El-Shadi, Elohim, Elija, ets.) Eliza also means "The chosen" in Old French or Latin.

Jane is most likely a short form of John, and is also Hebre
w in origin. Jane means, "God is merciful, or God is gracious."

We ask that the Lord will truly bless your family!

Editors Note: None of the babies shown in this post are the actual baby birthed to Toby and Kathy; they are, in fact, a dramatic representation of the new baby. No babies were harmed in the making of this post, nor do we support any sort of blogger testing on any babies. None of the procedes from the trade-marked insignia of "MangDiddles.com" are allotted to any sort of baby testing, nor were they in any way a contributing factor in the making of Toby and Kathy's baby. Toby and Kathy have just recently arrived at home from having the baby for which we are congratulation them, therefore, they have not had adequate time to produce actual images of said baby. Due to our current medical conditions and dramatic increases in the price of crude oil, our family has not had the opportunity to participate in the festivities, or physically be in the presence of the new baby or the baby's family. we hope to actually get to view the new baby in person in the coming weeks, as time would allow.


Before you have a chance to go into public with Eliza, there are a couple of phrases that you are sure to hear, so I have provided some quick answers that I have grown to use on most occasions.

  1. You know, they grow up, don’t you? This is a rather debasing comment that is popular among the baby’s first viewers. I usually reply, “That’s funny, you never did” or “So how do you explain your kids?” This tends to get you out of the initial awkwardness, and allows you to discretely change to topic.
  2. Then the ever famous, “You know what causes that, don’t you?” This one really irritates me, and is sure to get on your nerves as time goes by. The reply to this question is totally relative to the location in which it is asked. For instance, if it is in Starbucks, I generally turn toward the counter, call for an extra shot of Espresso and shout, “Stack me up! I’m building a family!” Wal Mart is the best though. If you find yourself in a Wal Mart (buying cheap diapers) confronted with this question, simply look at the people walking around and say, in a loud voice, “Did you just say that you don’t know how babies are made !?” Then, point to the nearest family of six (there is always one near by at the Wal Mart) and begin asking the parents if they were aware of what they were doing when they were making all of those babies - Instant diversion. This one is most effective when shouted with a very loud voice, which you need to be practicing anyway.
May God bless you guys!

The virdict is in - sort of.

Well, I went to the doctor about the blister in my throat. He says that it is a viral infection, and prescribed an antibiotic for me - the same antibiotic that is commonly given to people with herpes, or fever blisters. This troubles me because I have never had either one of these ailments. Is it a misdiagnosis? We have had our share of those lately. In fact, every thing that we have gone to the doctor’s office for in the last month was falsely diagnosed the first time (at least 4 different episodes).

I hope we find out what this is soon, because now, there is a sore in the left side of mi sinuses, and the left side of my head hurts; bad.

Thanks to the wonderful “Age of Information”, I now have the unsearchable depths of the internet to look for a diagnosis on my own.

What is my diagnosis? I have no idea; I just hope it doesn’t turn into a brain infection.

MRSA - It hurts me worse than it does you.

I wanted to thank every one of you that prayed for my family and I over this last couple of weeks. I think I may be experiencing new problems though.
If you didn't know, I just got out of the hospital last week for a MRSA infection. It was pretty gnarly. What's that? Do you want to know just how gnarly it was? I thought you would never ask. Here are some photos.

The first one is poor quality, but you can see the sores, in all of their inflamed, black and red glory.

This is what my foot looked like 2 days before I was admitted into the hospital. Please note that the foot ended up being twice its normal size, but by that time I didn't feel like taking pictures.

Lovely.

Back to the new problems.
I have had a sore throat for about 2 days now. This is unusual for me to begin with, but tonight, it was really hurting bad, so I decided to look at it in the mirror. To my surprise, there is a white blister on the left side of my throat, looking pretty disgusting. Is it MRSA? I wouldn't think so, because I was on Vancomycine for 10 days, and every medical professional I have spoken with has assured me that the Vancomycine usually wipes out the infection - key word, "usually".

To expound on a quote by FDR, you could say that if good luck is the early bird, I usually end up being the worm, so please keep praying for me.

Oh, yeah, I forgot to show you a picture of my throat funk. Here you go:

Trust me, it hurts as bad as it looks.

Maybe I do want to be a French Fry!

Hey MO!
Click here to watch that funny commercial I was telling you about.

Man, YouTube is fun.

FLASH! Hillary's bust idea stolen from MangDiddles!

In case you haven't seen it (and I caution you if you have a week stomach), somebody has created a bust of Hillary Clinton, appearing, at first glance, to be topless. As if the sight of this thing weren't bad enough, the artist calls it a "President Bust". God forbid.

I was a little reluctant to bring this out in the open, with the Reuters thing and all, but Hillary's bust was not an original. Not even close.

As you know, I myself am an artist, and no stranger to the wonders of stone sculpture.

I was planning to reveal my latest piece of diabolically mind-warping MangDiddles propaganda in the late Fall, but because of this Hillary thing, I guess I'll have to let the world see it early.
This being a G-rated website, I have covered that which has not been adequately covered on the "Hilla-roitered" version.




Sandra Bernhard - Just like Katie, Hillary, Howard and George

I have said many times before that there are few people that get under my skin as much as Katie Couric, Hillary Clinton and Cindy Sheehan. I have to add Sandra Bernahard to the list now. She was just an irritant before - now she is the enemy.
One look at my hair-line tells you that I know funny - and she's not funny.

What kind of idiot makes comments like these? Aside from Howard Dean and George Galloway, I can't think of many.

The most ironic thing about her statement is the fact that she hasn't even noticed that we are already in World War Three.

contactmusic.com: BERNHARDT TAKES ON AIRPORT SECURITY

Comedienne SANDRA BERNHARDT, close friend of Madonna, has threatened to fight new security measures at airports imposed after a terrorist attack on planes flying from the UK to the US was averted. From yesterday (10AUG06), passengers flying from and to America have been banned from taking non-essential hand luggage onboard jets. But Bernhardt, who is scheduled to fly out of New York's JFK Airport today (11AUG06) is determined to break the rule. She tells the New York Daily News, "When I go to the airport and they try to take my MAC Plushglass away from me, it's going to be World War III!" (emphasis mine)


Editors note: "Eeewwwwh."


TruthRock asks, "..."what would you have us do?"

This is an excerpt from an excellent essay from Don Edinger over at Truthrock, entitled:
"Liquids on a Plane!"
Please take the time to read the whole thing - you won't be sorry - and I'm not just saying that because I was just put on their "My Special Links" list recently...
...................................

I am grateful that we have such a strong and insightful leader at this dangerous time in history. I am appreciative that we live in one of the best countries in the world, the only so-called imperialistic nation that resists the imperialistic impulse. We have the power to seize assets and resources, and we don’t. Can you say that about any nation in history that was the number one power of its time? Would Napoleon have stopped himself from taking the oil fields? Would Hitler have restrained himself? No, but we do. Our thanks? We are vilified, as is our commander-in-chief. No good deed ever goes unpunished I guess.

The Left Wing, Democratic, Wack-job-morons have spoken.

From LGF:
Seventy-five percent of Daily Kos Kidz think the thwarted UK terror plot is “more drama from BushCo to keep us all afraid:” Daily Kos: The thwarted U.K. plot.
...........................................
...remember, this is the new, "Progressive Left" we are hearing from, which is quickly becoming the "norm" in the Democratic world.

The Amazing Ann Coulter

The Liberals call her a nazi.
This makes sense, because she has a tendancy to tell things as they are, and Libs like to call anyone who has high morals, and low tollerance for American "Defeatism" Nazis.

This merely means that Ann is doing a good job.

(click image to inlarge)

From Human Events Online:

Ann Coulter: "The free world, which is rapidly boiling down to us and Israel, is under savage attack. Treason is rampant in the country. True, Democrats hate Bush, but they would hate anybody who fights the war on terrorism. It is a hostile world, and there is now a real question about the will of the American people to survive."

Cox and Forkum

From the "Gateway Pundit"... you're going to love this.

There are a few people I know that think I am paranoid, because I have been scanning through Photoshop...sorry, photos, from the Israeli/Hezbollah war for fakes. Then, I stumbled across this little ditty over at the Gateway Pundit.

This is just unbelievable. It almost leaves me speechless, but we on the right are required by our morals to continue talking about this fraud, and the Main Stream Media's persistence in skewing the truth.

These photos were published by the New York Times under the title, "Termoil in the Middle East".

Notice the guy in the shorts onthe right, with the ball cap on.


In this one (below), our man is in the top right of the photo.



Here he is again (below), the middle man of three, searching through debris.


And now, brace yourself for a miracle, or grab a trash can, because this may make you physically ill, but here he is again... "dead" or something...

Notice that there is no dust on his body (accept for one hand that he has been turning over rubble with), his muscles are tense (not typical for a dead guy), he is sweaty (also not typical of your average dead guy), and... where is his hat!? AH! There it is! Tucked safely between his left arm and his chest. No need to lose or scuff a perfectly good "Western" style ball cap, now is there?

Time's original caption:
The mayor of Tyre said that in the worst hit areas, bodies were still buried under the rubble, and he appealed to the Israelis to allow government authorities time to pull them out. (Photo Tyler Hicks The New York Times)

Pretty sickening, huh? You haven't seen anything yet. Check out Time Magazine's "correction":

A picture caption with an audio slide show on July 27 about an Israeli attack on a building in Tyre, Lebanon, imprecisely described the situation in the picture. The man pictured, who had been seen in previous images appearing to assist with the rescue effort, was injured during that rescue effort, not during the initial attack, and was not killed.

The correct description was this one, which appeared with that picture in the printed edition of The Times: After an Israeli airstrike destroyed a building in Tyre, Lebanon, yesterday, one man helped another who had fallen and was hurt.

... I must go and drink some Pepto-Bismol now.



Giant elephant on the loose, no worries!

UPDATE: Cnn.com has an update on the missing Arab students, and it still doesn't cary the weight that I think it should...
.........................................

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Three of the 11 Egyptian students who failed to show up at a Montana university last month were taken into custody Wednesday.

The FBI on Saturday issued a nationwide alert to law enforcement agencies. Included were the students' names, ages, passport numbers and photographs.

"At the present time there are no known associations to any terrorist groups. Approach with caution," the lookout bulletin said. (emphasis mine)
.......................................

...unless you count the enormous elephant in the living room, called Radical Islam.

Eleven "20-Something" Arabs Missing in New York

...Why isn't this plastered on the front page of every news page in the country?

NY Post: Egyptian Students Vanish in Big Apple
"The FBI and ICE [Immigration and Custom Enforcement] would like to locate these 11 students in order to speak with them," said FBI Special Agent Richard Kolko after the "be-on-the-lookout" alert was issued to all police in the United States.

Kolko said there is no reason to believe the missing students, all men around 20 years old, represent a threat. (emphasis added)
.................................................

Let me give you 2,740 reasons to believe that these students may pose a threat.
Do yourself a favor, and scroll down the list until you reach the end. These names are a result of complacency. We need to stop the wishy-washy "Be-on-the-look-out" mentality, and adamently search these people out:

The head Lizzard eats up the Main Stream Media

Charles Johnson has rally been making waves in the Main Stream Media this week. Check out what Matt Drudge had to say about him before a recent interview...

MATT DRUDGE, HOST: "For Reuters to be doing this and not to investigate it’s other photos. Stay right there, we’re talking tonight to Charles Johnson, Little Green Footballs.com, he exposed a Reuters’ photograph of being a doctored photograph making it look like the Israelis were bombing all of downtown Beirut. They have since let the photographer go. This guy [Johnson] started it from his keyboard, his website, his modem, his wi-fi, whatever we are using these days. It is one guy who has brought one the major world wire services literally to its knees on this day."





Kudos, Charles. Chalk one up for the good guys.

...imagine that.

From Breitbart.com:

BEIRUT, Lebanon: The Lebanese prime minister says only one person died in an Israeli air raid on the southern village of Houla, lowering the death toll from 40.

(Emphasis mine)

.....................................................

Reuters says this:

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora said on Monday that one person had been killed in an Israeli air strike on the southern border village of Houla, rather than 40 as earlier feared.

A resident said about 50 people had been found alive under the rubble.

"The massacre in Houla, it turned out that there was one person killed," Siniora told reporters. "They thought that the whole building smashed on the heads of about 40 people ... thank God they have been saved."

....................................................

So, Reuters is really getting ahead of themselves in this war, aren't they? Report now, explain later...

Orwell pops into mind again, from the beginning of 1984;

"He who controls the past, controls the future; and he who controls

the present, controls the past."

I wonder if Reuters will release the photos of the families joy when they found the poeple alive?

Day by Day...

The "Hezbo's" stole from the Jews?

From a wonderful little blog called, "The Sulla Institute":
Check this out! The psychos of Hezbollah, the ones who loathe the Jewish people so much, actually appear to have stolen the Jew's ideas for the graphic art image in their own flag.

...striking similarities, and a bit ironic to say the least.
I wonder if Hezbollah's "PR" people know about this?

Cindy, you are embarrassing yourself... and you've picked up some weight!

Don’t look now, but the ever-intelligent, smooth talking, queen of the “Hunger Strike” has just crawled out from under her rock and taken up residence... (wait for it...)

Next door to the President’s Crawford, Texas ranch!

She must not have seen the memo – He is only going to be there for 10 days this year. You can bet on the media being there more often than he is, so they can get a glimpse of the “Piece Mom” in action.

Maybe the Main Stream Media can Photoshop some of her gut off of her, so the world will think she actually followed through with her "starvation"...

Follow the links Mo!...
