Yet ANOTHER CNN Idiotic Story

God, it's like they hired a monkey to do this reporting:

She found her husband on their bed in a pool of his own vomit, dead
from an accidental overdose of drugs he received from an online
pharmacy.


Every night
before her husband went to bed, he would open a prescription bottle of
the muscle relaxant Soma and swallow the eight or nine pills it took
for him to fall asleep, said the woman. She spoke to CNN on condition
of anonymity because she wants to protect her husband's identity and
not embarrass his family.

The drugs arrived at their doorstep
every week. She thought they were being prescribed by a treating
physician. Her husband had been in a car accident and suffered back
pain, and Soma was the one drug that could relieve the aches.


She was wrong. The drugs were purchased online without a doctor's
visit. She says that her husband had become an addict -- and that the
Internet sites that sold him the drugs were his pushers.

"Absolutely," she said. "That's exactly what they are."


"These pharmacy people that are doing this and these doctors that are
doing this, they don't give a dadgummit about people. It's just the
almighty dollar; that's all it is
."


Umm....No it isn't sweety. Your husband too "eight or nine pills" that he got OVER THE INTERNET. He didn't have to take these pills. It's not the pharmaceutical company's fault. It's your husbands. He could have gone to a regular doctor, but he didn't. He could have taken the recommended dosage, but he didn't. You act surprised that your husband died of an overdose when he's taking 8 or 9 pills? Please.

Folks, let's explain something here. Pain medications, big dick pills, and other "medicines" that are found on the internet are dangerous, expired, or placebos. If you're dumb enough to take these pills, then that's just Darwin in action. It's sad that this woman's husband died, but let's face facts here. He took too many pills from a dangerous source. It would be the same thing if it was pain meds or heroin. Sooner or later, if you're addicted, it will catch up to you.

Some People Are Too Stupid To Breath.

My God, I swear sometimes you wonder if our "representatives" have enough brain cells to even send their vital organs signals to live.

With oil executives being ripped into by Congress
, you would think that there would be a big push for alternative energy.

But some people just can't put two and two together.

The House of Representatives passed a $57 billion package of tax
incentives for wind, solar and other alternative-energy sources, and
other business tax breaks. The House approved the bill on a 263-160
vote.

But Republican opposition to the bill was strong enough
to indicate that the GOP would likely be able to sustain a possible
veto from President Bush
. Thirty-five Republicans voted in favor of the
bill, while the 160 no votes on the bill are well above the one-third
threshold needed to sustain a White House veto
.

We keep talking about getting off of foreign oil, and when you are presented with the chance to actually DO something about it, you vote no on it? Why? $57 billion is indeed a lot of money, but we need a "Manhattan Project" size effort to get ourselves off of foreign oil.

We can do it. We NEED to do it, yet some in the House Of Representatives seems to think we don't. There's too much at stake here. We can absolutely DESTROY the Middle East's main source of income if we switched from oil to say electricity from renewable resources. Oil prices would plummet, rogue regimes would fail spectacularly, and it would create MILLIONS of jobs here in the US.

So what's the fucking problem here?

Put forth a bill that says that each car manufacturer MUST make a car that gets 100+mpg and be less then 10% more expensive then any of their other cars. Put forth a bill that says they MUST make a pure electrically powered car, regardless of where it gets the electricity from (plug in, solar, etc.)

It can be done, you just WANT to have to do it. Remember "American ingenuity"? It's still alive and well, it just needs a massive new project to work on.

IRS Clears Obama's Church

The Internal Revenue Service has told the United Church of Christ,
Sen. Barack Obama's denomination, that it didn't violate tax laws when
the presidential candidate addressed 10,000 church members in June.


In a letter released by the UCC, the IRS said that the denomination
hadn't engaged in prohibited political activity and retains its
nonprofit status. The UCC disclosed an IRS inquiry into Sen. Obama's
appearance earlier this year. IRS spokeswoman Nancy Mathis declined to
comment.

Charitable groups, including churches, are barred from engaging in political speech if they wish to remain untaxed.

Exactly HOW did Obama's church NOT engage in political speech? Their "reverend" preached about the Democratic race MANY times. Anyone else care to explain this to me? Am I missing something? Or is this just a political favor done for the likely next President?

Florida And Michigan

The Democratic Party released rules for the May 31 meeting that will
decide how the Florida and Michigan delegations are seated at this
summer's national convention
. Like everything else about the dispute,
it looks like the meeting will go on and on.

Umm...I thought we had already established that their votes wouldn't count? Making them count is telling everyone that it doesn't matter if they broke the rules, they don't have to live with the consequences. Then you have Democrats bitching about personal responsibility. If they have none themselves, and they aren't leading by example, how can they expect everyone else to play by the rules?

Florida and Michigan shouldn't count. Period. That means that Hillary loses. That means their votes don't count AT ALL. No "let's see how we can make it count". No "every vote should count" crap. If you know the consequences of your actions and you do them anyway, you can't bitch about it when those consequences are forced upon you.

God what idiots.

Democrats Screw Up

The House overwhelmingly rejected President Bush's veto of a $290
billion farm bill Wednesday, but what was to have been a stinging
defeat for the president became an embarrassing episode for Democrats.



























































































Only hours before the House's 316-108 vote, Bush had vetoed the
five-year measure, saying it was too expensive and gave too much money
to wealthy farmers when farm incomes are high. The Senate then was
expected to follow suit quickly.

Action stalled, however, after
the discovery that Congress had omitted a 34-page section of the bill
when lawmakers sent the massive measure to the White House. That means
Bush vetoed a different bill from the one Congress passed, leaving
leaders scrambling to figure out whether it could become law
.

Oh Democrats, is there anything you can't screw up??


I will give you credit on this point though, you did bring a smile to my face and made my evening a lot more enjoyable. :)

Obama Helped Ahmadinejad

BUOYED by their modest electoral success last month, critics of
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's provocative foreign policy were
preparing to launch a series of attacks on him in the Islamic Majlis,
Iran's ersatz parliament. But then Ahmadinejad got an unexpected boost
from Barack Obama.


Ali Larijani, Iran's former nuclear negotiator and now a Majlis member,
was arguing that the Islamic Republic would pay a heavy price for
Ahmadinejad's rejection of three UN Security Council resolutions on
nukes. Then the likely Democratic presidential nominee stepped in.

Obama announced that, if elected, he wouldn't
ask Iran to comply with UN resolutions as a precondition
for direct
talks with Ahmadinejad: "Preconditions, as it applies to a country like
Iran, for example, was a term of art. Because this administration has
been very clear that it will not have direct negotiations with Iran
until Iran has met preconditions that are essentially what Iran views,
and many other observers would view, as the subject of the
negotiations; for example, their nuclear program.
"


Tell me again how Obama's views aren't naive? How his ideas will work? I honestly hope he can achieve such goals if he's elected President, but I guess I'm a bit jaded when I hear news like this. When a little cocksucker like Ahmadinejad gets into his head that he has real power, he starts in with the little man syndrome and everyone gets a bit nervous.

What I'd REALLY like to know is, why does Obama seem to think that it's ok to ignore UN resolutions when he was touting them just a few short years before? A tad hypocritical don't you think?

Liberal Outrage At Michael Savage

I must admit, I don't listen to Michael Savage, I just haven't had time, but with the news of Ted Kennedy's brain tumor, he decided to dig at Ted. Not that I disagree with him, but there's a reporter that does:

Even Ted Kennedy's political enemies spoke kindly of him when they learned that he had a malignant brain tumor.



But not conservative talk show host Michael Savage. As a form of
"respect" to Kennedy on his syndicated talk show Tuesday, Savage played
The Dead Kennedy's "California Uber Alles" - get it? Ho ho, the wit!
Oh, and he dropped in a couple of "Kindergarten Cop" sound clips of the
Arnold Schwarzenegger character saying, "It's not a tumor."



Listen to it here, if you must. Then quickly bathe.

Mike, Mike, Mike, one word, baby: Karma. It never forgets.

Yes, how quickly people need to be reminded that Ted let someone drown to death and that all should be forgiven right? Joe Garofoli....one word...Karma. It indeed never forgets, and it found it's way into Ted Kennedy's head.

Trail of Tall Tales: Hillary Clinton

Sometimes a politician makes such half truths and outright lies, that someone decides to put together a list of them all.

Hillary Clinton is the victim of one such list. Have a peek :)



Sen. Hillary Clinton presents the image of a seasoned, ever-disciplined
politician whose experience as first lady and a New York senator makes
her ready to be commander-in-chief. But a series of misstatements —
exaggerations, half-truths and lies — made by Clinton over the last 15
years have at times undermined her image and called her credibility
into question

Pearlman Sentenced To 25 Years In Scam

Lou Pearlman went from boy-band millionaire to federal prisoner during a sentencing hearing in Orlando on Wednesday morning.

Pearlman was sentenced to 25 years in prison on fraud and conspiracy charges in connection with a decades-long investment scam that defrauded banks and investors out of as much as $300 million.

The judge offered Pearlman a chance to reduce his sentence by one month for every $1 million he returns to investors
.

This is the guy who brought us the Backstreet Boys and N'Sync. If it were up to me, he'd get the chair.

Fitna On Youtube

I have uploaded Fitna onto Youtube while I work on a more permanent solution to having it on my server. I will always make it available to people, so you can be assured that if you want to see it, you can.

I'm in the middle of moving my blog over to Wordpress because of features that it offers to you guys that I thought would be beneficial. In the mean time, that's why I'm uploading the video. I got a request from a user, so I thought I'd be nice and help him and others out. :)
