Here’s a review I like: Unfairenheit 9/11:The lies of Michael Moore.

Here’s my favorite part:

To describe this film as dishonest and demagogic would almost be to promote those terms to the level of respectability. To describe this film as a piece of crap would be to run the risk of a discourse that would never again rise above the excremental. To describe it as an exercise in facile crowd-pleasing would be too obvious. Fahrenheit 9/11 is a sinister exercise in moral frivolity, crudely disguised as an exercise in seriousness. It is also a spectacle of abject political cowardice masking itself as a demonstration of “dissenting” bravery.

Moore leaves the impression that this is another “documentary,” but when pressed about it he admits it’s an “op-ed piece.”

It’s garbage, that’s what it is. His questions are flawed and his method to examine the questions are even more flawed. Yecch.

Clinton rages against Dimbleby in Panorama confrontation over Lewinsky. I think the headline pretty much sums it up. Bubba got mad when he didn’t get the softballs that he got from Rather on 60 Minutes. Plus, he’s not the president anymore, so he can’t order a tactical air strike on your home if you piss him off…What’s left is tough questions and a lost temper.

It looks like Clinton will keep to American news media so he can keep getting the softballs.

“The founding fathers weren’t trying to keep religion out of government, they were trying to keep government out of religion. Their desire was for freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.” – Rev. Terry Farmer

I made a comment on when Campaign finance reform was upheld. We took a step in the wrong direction, plus when the domestic violence law was passed (it violated the ex post facto provision in the Constitution). The walk has become a jog with the upholding of the Terry law, which requires you to give your name to a police officer, or anything else that establishes your identity. Supreme Court: No Right to Keep Names From Police.

I can see both sides of the argument here, but the ability to arrest a citizen for not revealing their identification I don’t like.

It seems more and more Americans are turning to target shooting as a sport. It is one of the few sports that can be enjoyed by young and old, male and female, handicapped or not. In fact, in shooting competitions, males and females face each other, so there is no “girls league.”

4 Billion rounds of ammunition are expended every year in shooting, over 90% of which are in target shooting. 2 Billion of those rounds are .22 rimfires.

This is like rocketry, the whole family can enjoy the sport equally. And as long as you follow the firearm safety rules, it is as safe as kite flying.

Air America came up a little short in their initial claims of fundraising. Here’s the whole story from Drudge:

Liberal Radio Network AIR AMERICA In Deep Financial Crisis
Mon Jun 21 2004 11:20:16 ET

On March 30, the night before Air America went on the air, the liberal radio network threw itself a $70,000 party at Manhattan’s hip Maritime Hotel. More than 1,000 guests, including Yoko Ono and Tim Robbins, drank red, white and blue vodka cocktails as they toasted the network’s bid to challenge the dominance of conservative talk radio.

But behind the scenes, Air America was running out of money.

The WALL STREET JOURNAL reports on Monday: Several employees say they still haven’t been reimbursed for the costs of attending the New York launch.
Many of Air America’s investors and executives say they thought the network had raised more than $30 million, based on assurances from its owners, Guam-based entrepreneurs Evan M. Cohen and Rex Sorensen.

In fact, Air America had raised only $6 million, Mr. Cohen concedes. Within six weeks of the launch, those funds had been spent and the company owed creditors more than $2 million.
When the problems came to light, ‘we realized that we had all been duped,’ says David Goodfriend, the company’s acting chief operating officer. Messrs.

Cohen and Sorensen say they didn’t mislead anyone about the company’s finances. They say they planned to invest more over time but didn’t because of cultural differences with other managers.

Both resigned in early May. Five months before a presidential election, Air America should be on a roll. Instead, it’s grappling with a financial crisis. Creditors are lined up at the door, and it is off the air in two big markets, Los Angeles and Chicago.

Developing…

It seems the anti-business Liberals can’t hold down a business by themselves.

SSO managed to clear the 60km threshold, hooray! The next step is the real one, doing it with two passengers, then doing it again within two weeks.

Keep your fingers crossed.

I have a gambling addiction. I have an insatiable drive to play Roulette, not because of the excitement, but because of the drive to make money. Every month I run out of money before I run out of month. I’ve been able to resist the urge to go down to the local casinos and spend what little money I don’t have on trying to make more.

I just got a casino game and I have been playing it almost non-stop. Trying to tweak a system to make sure money playing. I know it won’t, but I keep dreaming about it anyway. It sucks living off $800 a month. Any legal opportunity to make more money under the table is a golden thing for me, but I am restricted because if I make any more taxable income, my family loses my disability pay. There is no way for them to support themselves, there is no way for me to support them.

You may think this is not an addiction, but it fills all of the criteria. It takes up a lot of my thinking, a lot of my time if I didn’t restrict it, and all of my money if I made it to a casino.

I guess I’m a dry drunk.

Another story from the same article as below, Protest Problems.

Animal rights demonstrators got a cold reception when they staged a protest at Los Angeles Mayor James Hahn’s residence. The Los Angeles Daily News reports that several neighbors confronted the small crowd and began pelting protesters with water from oversized squirt guns known as Super Soakers.

A spokesman for the group claimed that they were demonstrating peacefully when — “some of Hahn’s neighbors came out and got raucous.” But he acknowledged that the protesters, some of whom arrived wearing masks and toting bullhorns, might have been seen as a threat by Hahn’s neighbors — one of whom told the Daily News — “they’re lucky it was just water.” [emphasis mine]

Nice to see some anti-activist activists.

I posted yesterday in the post Yeah, Right that the 9/11 commission says there was no connection between Al Qaeda and Iraq.

Correction (on their part). There was no connection between those two for 9/11.

Report Bluntly Contradicts Bush? clears the blue smoke and mirrors. I quote it in it’s entirety because it’s short:

The Associated Press leads off its story on a new 9/11-commission report by saying the document — “bluntly contradict[s] the Bush administration” by claiming to have no credible evidence linking Saddam Hussein to the September 11th terrorist attacks.

In fact, the Bush administration has never said that such evidence exists. President Bush denied a connection to 9/11 as recently as last September, saying — “we’ve had no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved with September 11th.”

Bush went on to say, — “there’s no question that Saddam Hussein had Al Qaeda ties” — an assertion that the commission’s report actually supports.[emphasis mine]

Talk about putting words in someone’s mouth. Just another part of the Big Lie that if you repeat it enough, it becomes the truth.

This is from a comic strip called “The Leftersons.” It is billed as “America’s favorite Liberal family.” It is part of RightToons.com so you know these are Liberals from a Conservative standpoint.

Anyway, the daughter Hillary has decided to do something about the homeless. You can read the strips here, but you have to do it before Monday the 21st otherwise the toons will rotate off. I cannot copy the toons to my storage and I do not have the money to buy them.

I especially liked Friday’s installment (which will rotate off tomorrow). The homeowner says, “What if I tell you I can get jobs for all the homeless people you represent?”

The answer? “I’d prefer that you didn’t. It would put me out of a job.”

This only reinforces the words of Ronald Reagan, paraphrased: “A Liberal gauges success by how many people are on Welfare, a Conservative gauges success by how many people no longer need Welfare.”

This does not surprise me. Found on the Washington ComPost: 9/11 Panel Finds No Collaboration Between Iraq, Al Qaeda.

This commission took a credibility dive to zero when Jamie Gorlick showed up on the panel and refused to testify about a very important memo that she authored which restricted our ability to coordinate the FBI and CIA. Her very presence on the commission compromises the integrity of the commission.

So I am not surprised that this commission “found” that their facts directly oppose the facts presented by the Administration.

And, of course, the Liberal Media will play this tune until even they throw up at the sight of it, while totally ignoring what the Administration has to say on the subject.

Pitiful.

What is good for the goose is good for the gander. With all of these Liberal “news” machines (ABC, CBS, NBC, et. al.), the NRA has decided to counter with a little fire of it’s own. NRA News Program Moves to Satellite Radio.

Presenting conservative news from a Second Amendment perspective, I wish I had satellite radio.

And being a news organization, they don’t have to go silent before an election. Of course the NYT is furious. How dare they have competition!

The NRA is also looking to purchase a couple of radio stations, ala Air America, but I doubt the NRA will make the same mistakes.

Just another piece of evidence on top of the mountain already there to show how biased the LA Times really is. Broke by Rush yesterday, after reading the LAT story he cast into doubt the veracity of the data collection. It turns out he was right. TWISTED: LA Times Poll Had Sample With 38% Democrats, 25% Republicans.

Since this is a flash page, I quote the entire Drudge report here:

Sen. John Kerry “has taken big lead,” according “to an L.A. Times poll.”

But the Times poll that showed Kerry “beating Bush by 7 points” has created a controversy over whether the poll’s sample accurately reflects the population as whole, ROLL CALL reports on Tuesday.

“Not counting independents, the Times’ results were calculated on a sample made up of 38 percent Democrats and 25 percent Republicans — a huge and unheard-of margin,” ROLL CALL claims.

This shows two things: How far the LAT is willing to lie, and how much trouble Kerry is in if they have to skew the polls that bad for that little return.

President Reagans body is barely in the ground and the Left is already declaring our attempts to bring the truth out as “whitewashing.” Left and Right Clash Over Reagan Media Coverage.

Little more than a week after Ronald Reagan’s death, a liberal Washington think tank released a five-point attack on the former president, declaring that Reagan’s legacy was “rife with controversy” on issues from AIDS to race to the economy.

In its daily “Progress Report” e-mail, the Center for American Progress – headed by former Clinton administration aide John Podesta and funded in part by billionaire George Soros – chided conservatives for trying to rewrite history. Just a week ago, the think tank offered some praise for Reagan.

I browsed through it and found it with several left-handed compliments.

“What’s wrong with these quotes is that they’re all editorials,” Graham said, “but also they’re factually wrong in a lot of cases.”

I think this sums it up pretty well, don’t you?
