Obama bows to Saudi King
Examiner.com - 4-10-09
Why shouldn't Obama bow to the king? Its a sign of respect, the message that
Obama wants to spread throughout the world. He is anti-arrogance and

know that there is now floating in the Pacific Ocean a 3.5-million ton island of
sh*t made up of all the indestructible crap we toss away, the stuff that will
never break down, like Styrofoam and old Clorox bottles. And it's twice the size
of Texas. That's right, the Pacific Ocean now contains more white trash than
Texas! - Bill Maher

From Texas comes word of a

names to something a little easier to pronounce.
“Rather than everyone here having to learn Chinese — I understand it’s a rather

think that it would behoove you and your citizens to adopt a name that we could
deal with more readily here?” the Republican lawmaker said, as the House was
debating a voter ID bill.
Her name? Betty Brown.

AHNC weekend commentary
Inhofe the jerk spouts off
There are few things as humorous
these days as seeing right-wing political hacks lie about budget numbers and
security concerns when in reality it is their own asses they are trying to
preserve and protect – certainly not the national interest.
U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe (Elephant-Oklahoma) did it just a few days ago when he
fumed over how the Obama Administration was going to “cut” the defense budget.
“President Obama is disarming America. Never before has a president so ravaged
the military at a time of war,” Inhofe solemnly stated during a visit to
Afghanistan.
A member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Inhofe claimed that the budget
proposed by Defense Secretary William Gates was “unprecedented” in the history
of the United States.
“Here we are in Afghanistan right now. We have our men and women in uniform, in
harm’s way, and we heard the announcement that we are cutting, and I would say
gutting the military.”
The only problem with Inhofe’s grim pronouncements – which his staff
inexplicably chose to videotape and distribute on the Internet – was that they
were patently false. Mistruths. Lies.
The budget proposed by Gates (a Republican who served as defense secretary under
former Chickenhawk President George W. Bush) increases military spending
by about $20 billion.
So why did Inhofe choose to lie in such blatant fashion?
Was he misinformed? Did he misspeak? Is he just a stupid Okie who thought nobody
was paying attention?
None of the above. What Inhofe was enraged about was the fact that the new
defense budget proposal eliminates a mega-million dollar expenditure for a new
high-tech artillery system that was to be produced – where else? – in the great
state of Oklahoma.
So in true arch-conservative fashion, Inhofe lied about the whole defense budget
proposal. And he tried to cloak his lie with the utterly predictable,
flag-waving mantra that the nation must buy into any new weapons system for the
sake of its brave troops.
What a crock.
This little display by Inhofe has prompted All Hat No Cattle to take a closer
look at the senator’s illustrious career. And where better to look than at his
own online biography?
“Jim considers one of his unique qualifications for office to be the 30 years
he’s spent in the business community being over regulated by the federal
bureaucracy. Throughout his political career, Jim has been a strong advocate
for the principles of limited government, individual liberty, and personal
responsibility. He believes that the federal government works best when it
returns dollars, decisions, and freedom to our local communities and families.”
So Okie Jim must be mighty pleased with what deregulation has done for the U.S.
economy – reducing it to a smoldering wreck.
Sort of like an artillery range.
Over a
third of the way there! Thank you!
