Carter Trip Synopsis

Jimmy: Hows about you quit firing rockets into Israel for a few days?

Hamas: Pound sand peanut picker.

Jimmy: What about a prisoner exchange?

Hamas: Bite me you toothy tool.

Jimmy: Would you at least recognize an Israeli’s right to exist?

Hamas: Sure. When they are all dead.

Jimmy announces to the world: Hamas is ready for peace!

Hamas announces to the world: Carter is an irrelevant idiot that does not know what he is talking about!

Obama opines after finishing his waffles: The meeting was a "bad idea".

Condi breaks in: Yeah, I said it was a bad idea BEFORE he went.

Result: Carter gets Isreal and Hamas to agree on one thing; Cater is a tool.

What is the Color of Money?

NBC is finally going to quit stroking itself with its feel good "Going Green" campaign. It’s just another one of those campaigns that try to make you feel like driving your car is akin to clubbing baby seals. What I really enjoyed about NBCs campaign is the commercials. The first Going Green commercial I saw was followed by a BMW commercial advertising a Beemer with enough horsepower to break the sound barrier if you stomped on the accelerator hard enough.

If NBC or any other greenie wants anyone to take them seriously they need to take the lead. If they want people to sacrifice, they need to start. So here are some suggestions NBC can use to show they really care about the planet. NBC can start by taking no ads for gas or diesel vehicles, bottled water, oil companies, etc. Oh yeah, don’t advertise anything from parent company GE until all their appliances run on solar power. Give up a little green NBC and you might convince me you are truly serious about saving the planet. Otherwise, leave me and my turbo diesel seal clubber alone.

'Politics of fear' works pretty damn well!

So which calamities should Hillary Clinton use in her next commercial, now that she's won Pennsylvania? Some suggestions:

• The Black Death
• The last day of Pompeii
• The shooting of J.R. Ewing (a statement about big oil?)
• Locust plague
• Jonestown
• Morgan Spurlock's latest movie's box office numbers
• A leper colony
• A Stalin pogrom
• Attack of killer bees
• Mongol horde invasion
• The Irish potato famine
• Scenes from "28 Days Later"
• Scenes from "An Inconvenient Truth"
• Hugo Chavez talking

Vixen column roundup

Here are my columns I've been too busy/burned out/crazy to post lately:

• Chinese government, not people, targeted by Olympic protesters, L.A. Daily News
• China unrest makes Vietnam nervous, Pajamas Media
• Pope's visit may temper our cynicism, L.A. Daily News

And over at my About Journalism site, I did blog on Putin's alleged monkey business with a Russian gymnast (sorry, Reaps, I had blogged on this elsewhere but hadn't linked from GOP-V).

The Sun is Not Al's Friend

Al Gore “is very careful not to upset any of his celebrity friends” according to a recent article by The Sun (the newspaper not the gaseous mass). According to The Sun, “He [Al Gore the gaseous mass] wouldn’t dream of suggesting that their lavish jet-setting and gas-guzzling lifestyles could be reined in for the good of the environment.” When asked about having David Beckham and Posh give up their fleet of gas guzzlers for a Prius, Gore responded, “I don’t think that’s my place. I don’t want to get into personally criticizing anyone.” Of course, Gore had no problem personally criticizing President Bush in the next breath saying “…no one could be worse than George W Bush in actively working against the cause.” Then again, with more and more top scientists jumping off the global warming bandwagon, Gore may just be paying Bush a great compliment.

Keep hanging on to global warming no matter how cold it gets Al.

Desecrating America's Symbols

As a former active duty Marine, I find Time’s new cover in poor taste. We should not forget that half of the men in that famous picture died on Iwo Jima and using them as shills for global warmers is repulsive. Perhaps if Al Gore’s name shows up on a global warming casualty list with a bunch of A list celebrities, I’ll feel differently. Since they won’t even sacrifice their Bentleys and private jets for their cause, I won’t hold my breath. The extent of their sacrifice seems to be making regular people like me ride the bus and use a push mower.

Not to be outdone when desecrating American symbols, University of Maine student Susan Crane decided to put Old Glory on the hallway floors of her school for a Art in politics class to see if people would walk on them. Her father, described as "a veteran" actually helped place the flags on the floor. Since we are not told what Mr. Crane is a veteran of, I am guessing he is a veteran of doing other idiotic things that he did not think through very well. Both the Cranes were "surprised" at the angry comments their little art project caused by people that "identified themselves as veterans and republicans". Apparently, no democrats objected.

If all this was not bad enough, Barack Obama was seen wearing a flag pin which he has described as false patriotism. At least he took it off for the debate.
