Moslem or not, this is quite damning
I honestly do not know whether PresZero is moslem or not but these clip, taken all at once like this, are quite daming.
Best NFL PreGame Show EVER
The Best NFL PreGame Show ever is on your local FOX channel right now!
They are in Afghanistan with our soldiers!
They are each waering a uniform carefully chosen based on their own experiences or that of their family.
And our guys are loving it!
They are showing players (pre-recorded) talking about their brothers, wives, mothers, fathers, sons, and other family members who are serving or have served.
This is incredible. The players and the broadcasters are in awe of the soldiers and the soldiers are in awe of the players and broadcasters (who are former players).
The soldiers wanted to pay respects to the murdered and injured at Fort Hood with a moment of silence and Fox went to commercial about 3 seconds into it! Unbelievable!

AARP Solicitation Days
Well, isn't it interesting that AARP sent out a mass mailing soliciting membership just a few days before they announced their support for PORCare (POR=Pelosi, Obama, Reid and poor is what we'll all be if it's ever enacted). Just trying to sucker in as many as possible before the it hits the fan.

Nevermind that I'm not even in their target age group.

Porkulus - where has it gone?
The Fall 2009 issue of UCLA Engineer arrived today. Upon reading (see page 17), I learned that "Professor Vasilios Manousiouthakis has been awared $2.1 million in grant funding to build a state-of-the-art hydrogen fueling station on the UCLA campus." The source of the funds are a "$1.7 million grant from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and a $400,000 grant from the state's Mobild Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee (MSRC)." This money "will go toward the construction of one of the largest hydrogen fueling stations in California". My first thought after reading this was, gee, I wonder if Professor Manousisouthakis has one of those Honda FCX Clarity which runs on hydrogen and which is only available in Southern California. My second thought was, what the hell is wrong with Californians? They're bankrupt and still spending as if they're rich!
Since I'd skipped straight to that article, I wondered what else was going on at my alma mater and perused the rest of the magazine to find (see page 8-9) $3million in Stimulus funds going to something called The Clean Energy for Green Industry Fellowship. Turns out this will pay 33 students over the next 5 years a $33,000 stipend each to study energy storage, energy harvesting (what?), and energy conservation. So, basically, the American taxpayer will be paying people to go to school. I'm all for grants and even received grants when I attended UCLA for which I am eternally grateful, but in this economy I think this might just be a waste. Or a boondoggle that this Professor Diana Huffaker thought up to save her own job.
Then I found this article at Drudge. It's a list of where some of the stimulus money went. It's wasteful. It's pork. It's bribery. It's our money being used for nefarious purposes, for buying votes, etc. This is insanity.

Noor Faleh Almaleki has died
Noor Faleh Almaleki has died. From injuries suffered when her father ran her down. Do not believe that it was because she was too Westernized. That is nonsense. This was a premeditated murder.
Noor Almaleki had been forcibly married off like chattel to a man in Iraq by her father. She rejected that, came back to Arizona, and found love with a young man also from Iraq.
Faleh Hassan Almaleki discussed with his family his plan/desire to kill his daughter.
Faleh Hassan Almaleki then ran down his own daughter with his Jeep. He also ran down the mother of Noors boyfriend, Amal Khalaf.
Faleh then drove south to Nogales where he abandoned his vehicle and made his way to Mexico City presumably via bus. He must have had his passport with him because he flew from Mexico City to London (having flown to Heathrow and Gatwick before, I was not allowed anywhere near the aircraft until showing my passport - this access was controlled by the British). British officials returned him to the USA where he was immediately taken into custody.
Faleh has admitted to running down his daughter for "bringing shame on the family".
Noors brother defends his father in local media interviews with idiotic statements of cultural differences.
Any culture which would not consider it shameful that a father murders his own daughter who, as an adult, made choices he did not approve of, is unworthy of existing.
Other questions to consider: Why didn't officials in Mexico City stop him? Why did he get all the way to London before anyone stopped him?

Kiss the best health care in the world goodbye
If you live someplace like Canada and need an MRI or a CT Scan, the government health system will make you wait 6 months, a private clinic 1 month, but the veterinarian will get your pet in the next day. Doesn't that make you wonder why Veterinarians are covered under the PORcare (Pelosi-Obama-Reid healthcare) bill. I know why they're covered. In the event Americans start going to their Veterinarians for CT Scans and MRIs and Ultrasounds, the government can stop you.
Those of you who voted for Obama, or who sat on your hands and refused to vote because the other candidate was imperfect in some way, or those of you who insist that "the public option is dead" or "it can't pass" (you especially you snakes in the grass telling the rest of us not to fight) ... Well, you know what they say, a people (collectively) will get the government they deserve. Unfortunately, the rest of us will get the government and the health care YOU deserve.
But, at least my cat will still have the best health care in the world.

Faleh Almaleki arrested
Not brand new news, i know. But, I've heard that Faleh Almaleki who ran his daughter and the mother of his daughters boyfriend over for being "too Westernized" here in Arizona, has been arrested. I see that article and I hear on cable news nothing about how Almaleki drove south to Mexico, abandoned his vehicle near Nogales, made his way to Mexico City, flew to London where he was denied entry and put on a flight back to the United States which explains how he came to be in Georgia.
So, the sieve of a border between the USA and Mexico works both ways. Mexico should have stopped this guy at the border. But look at him. He could easily blend in with the right clothes and attitude south of the border.
At least he's now in custody and even our liberal judges would have to agree that he's an obvious flight risk. I sure hope that if he has other daughters, that they've been taken to safety in the event some idiot judge lets him out.
