From my dad. I think he’s trying to tell me something…but being that I’m a girl, it’s hard to tell…

Given a monthly average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theatre of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2,867 deaths. That gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers.

The firearm death rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000 persons for the same period.

That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in the U.S. Capital than you are in Iraq

Conclusion: The U.S. should pull out of Washington

Someone else has concluded the same thing.

Drug smugglers using official Texas vehicles — Despite prosecution by Sutton, fake state trucks still being found.

© 2007 WorldNetDaily.com - October 20, 2007

[ LMAO - as a former TX Sheriff’s Officer, I am amazed and amused at this story since it took some big balls and a strong spine to pull it off — right under the noses of TX State Troopers and other TX LEO’s… ]

Since 2005, federal and state law enforcement officials have known drug smugglers were using fake Texas Department of Transportation vehicles to haul their cargo all over the Lone Star State.

But, more than two years later, and despite a major prosecution of the 11 people involved in the scam by Johnny Sutton of the U.S. attorney’s office – the official known for handing two Border Patrol agents jail sentences of more than 10 years apiece – the fraudulent trucks are still being found carrying their illicit loads.

In August, Texas state troopers found one of the fake trucks in East Texas carrying 1,000 pounds of marijuana.

The truck had a TxDOT logo on the door

I swear I’ve seen this guy’s work some time before this.

It’s an interview with a dead terrorist.

I wonder if this ventriloquist will get a fatwa for making fun of those serious mujahideen suicide bombers for allah.

ABC News’ Eloise Harper and Rick Klein Report - November 12, 2007

It’s been a rough stretch for Hillary Clinton — a tough debate performance, a lost voice, and the revelation that the Clinton campaign had been coaching questioners at events.

Then, on Sunday, everything started falling down around her.

After a very Presidential-esque news conference - Clinton turned around to leave the reporters and their peppering questions. A staffer swooped open a curtain, and chaos ensued.

Four large American flags came crashing in front of Senator Clinton as she headed for the door. In a controlled panic, the staffers and the Senator attempted to catch the flags before they fell to the ground.

I got a good laugh on this one - LMAO!

there’s human rights watch, media watch, and a number of “watches”…now we’re launching meatwatch, in honor of one of our devoted trolls who continues to assail us in comments and from his pathetic blog, flinging ‘liar’ around as if he’s the only one who determines what a lie is.

To celebrate one of the most idiotic rivisionists of recent memory whose marching orders come from CAP (Center for American Progress) and Media Matters.

From Discover the Networks:

Established in May 2004, Media Matters for America is a “web-based, not-for-profit … progressive research and information center” seeking to “systematically monitor a cross-section of print, broadcast, cable, radio, and Internet media outlets for conservative misinformation.” But in addition to “news or commentary that is not accurate, reliable, or credible,” the organization’s concept of “misinformation” includes anything that “forwards the conservative agenda.” Thus political differences of opinion are often portrayed by Media Matters as lies or worse.

Now we have an explanation for Meatbrain’s existence and complete devotion to us. lol

It was revealed that there is a new virus being transmitted by people like Meatbrain on the internet, called TNSTAAL (There is no such thing as a lie) virus.

Everyone knows there IS such a thing as a lie; but a tactic people like Meatbrain use is to make sure their lies go undetected by purposely confusing what the truth is. If you accuse someone else of lying first, you have the advantage, or at least THAT’S WHAT HE THINKS. The seeds of deception can easily be sown in fertile grounds of confusion.

This is why there is MEATWATCH.

Consumers, not just factory workers, may be in danger from fumes from buttery flavoring in microwave popcorn, according to a warning letter to federal regulators from a doctor at a leading lung research hospital.

A pulmonary specialist at Denver’s National Jewish Medical and Research Center has written to federal agencies to say doctors there believe they have the first case of a consumer who developed lung disease from the fumes of microwaving popcorn several times a day for years.

“We cannot be sure that this patient’s exposure to butter flavored microwave popcorn from daily heavy preparation has caused his lung disease,” cautioned Dr. Cecile Rose. “However, we have no other plausible explanation.”

The July letter, made public Tuesday by a public health policy blog, refers to a potentially fatal disease commonly called popcorn lung that has been the subject of lawsuits by hundreds of workers at food factories exposed to chemicals used for flavoring.

In response to Rose’s finding, the Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association issued a statement Tuesday recommending that its members reduce “to the extent possible” the amount of diacetyl in butter flavorings they make. It noted that diacetyl is approved for use in flavors by the federal Food and Drug Administration.

One national popcorn manufacturer, Weaver Popcorn Co. of Indianapolis, said last week it would replace the butter flavoring ingredient because of consumer concern. Congress has also been debating new safety measures for workers in food processing plants exposed to diacetyl.

HOUSTON - A school district suspended a police officer as it investigates his distribution of a “Ghetto Handbook” and the three-month lapse before top district officials were informed of it.

The eight-page booklet, subtitled “Wucha dun did now?”, was handed out to about 15 Houston Independent School District police officers at a May meeting, district spokesman Terry Abbott said.

Officials declined to identify the officer who handed them out, but said he had been ordered to attend diversity training.

A supervisor immediately collected the booklets, Abbott said, but district officials said they didn’t learn about the incident until someone complained to the district’s Equal Employment Opportunity Office in mid-August.

“This publication was completely reprehensible and HISD condemns it in the strongest possible terms,” Superintendent Abelardo Saavedra said in a written statement Thursday.

He said he has “mounted a very aggressive investigation.”

District Police Chief Charles Wiley had no comment, Abbott said.

The booklet billed itself as a guide to Ebonics, teaching the reader to speak “as if you just came out of the hood”.

It included definitions such as “foty: a 40-ounce bottle of beer” — “axe: to ask a question” — and “hoodrat: scummy girl.”

[ COMMENTARY ] — That always cracks me up — why do you MORONIC IDIOTS always say … “Lemme AXE you sumpin”?

I come back and “ASK” you … “What; are you going to kill the question with an AXE first?” … all of you give me that stupid “deer-in-the-headlights” look.

The booklet names six district officers “and the entire day shift patrol” as contributors. Abbott said a preliminary investigation has cleared those officers of involvement.

Last year, almost 30 percent of the district’s 202,000 students were black and almost 60 percent were Hispanic.

The Dumba$$e$ in New Orleans were warned days ahead of the storm, to get their stupid a$$ out of the city and harm’s way — then, they had the gall to blame it on Bush and the Gov’t. — which proves just how ignorant you people really are!!!

NEW ORLEANS - Democrat Barack Obama said Sunday the country cannot fail New Orleans again and that as president, he would keep the city in mind every day.

“The words never again cannot be another empty phrase,” he said in front of one of the few rebuilt houses he saw on a brief tour of the city’s Gentilly Woods section. “It cannot become another broken promise.”

Obama is the first of several presidential candidates from both parties who are set to visit New Orleans in connection with the second anniversary of Hurricane Katrina on Wednesday. President Bush also is expected to mark the occasion with a trip to the Gulf Coast.

Obama, whose day began at First Emanuel Baptist Church, said that long before Katrina, the nation had failed to lift up New Orleans, a city with persistent struggles such as poverty and poor public schools. He said that cannot happen again and that Americans have a “collective responsibility” to each other.

“Racial discord, poverty, the old divisions of black and white, rich and poor, it’s time to leave that to yesterday,” he said.

“In rebuilding, we’ve got an opportunity to do more than put up a foundation that for too long failed the people of New Orleans,” he told congregants. Some snapped photos of him at the pulpit with their cell phones.

“In rebuilding, we’ve got an opportunity to build something better, a foundation that can put up with a lot, upon which the children of New Orleans can build their dreams.”

Progress since Katrina has been slow, mired in bureaucracy and marred by fingerpointing among federal, state and local officials. Some small businesses are struggling, houses remain empty in vast sections of the city and people are frustrated.

From several residents, Obama heard about poor infrastructure and the slow pace of home rebuilding grants. He walked past empty lots overgrown with weeds rising above his head and saw Federal Emergency Management Agency trailers and signs advertising services such as mold remediation.

“I just feel like we’ve been forgotten about,” resident JoAnn Fleming Bradley told him.

The Illinois senator criticized Bush for what he said was a lack of urgency in rebuilding the city. “I can promise you this: I will be a president who wakes up every morning and goes to bed every night with the future of this city on my mind,” Obama said.
