Taxpayer-Supported US-Hating 501c3 “Charities”
http://www.sweetness-light.com/archive/taxpayer-supported-america-hating-501c3-charities
We know it will be hot, but that's the only time everyone is free. We have to work around 3 work schedules, spring soccer, camp, and a wedding. This was the best we could do.
May 29, through June 4, 2007. Disney World Gay Days. Co sponsor is Bud light...........Yikes..
BTW, you don’t want to know how many Islamic groups are 501c3’s.
It's been a long time, but I'm sure we learned in 10th grade biology that plants (including trees), take in CO2 (and give off oxygen) to carry on photosynthesis -- which they can only do in the presence of light. In the dark, however, they take in oxygen and give off CO2.
Unless they make plants different nowadays . . . I know I don't keep up! ;-)
Ah, but you see, I dont buy dresses, but only wave credit cards under their noses. No woman can resist a credit card smelling of gummy bears.
Hush, I know, but the joke is funnier the other way around.
Metromexual, LOL even better!
Yep, I like it when the enemy tells on itself.
Funny you say that... did you see this?

Case in point:
Imus smeared Hillary Clinton, “that buck-toothed witch, Satan,” and Gore, “the phoniest bastard on the planet”

Read this from the tenth:
In report on Imus’ “past political guests,” Costello did not address Imus’ ban on Clinton appearances
http://mediamatters.org/items/200704100024
Here’s a snip:
ABC News’ Mark Halperin and The Politico’s John Harris documented the origins of the Clinton-Imus feud in their book The Way to Win: Taking the White House in 2008 (Random House, October 2006). Halperin and Harris wrote in a chapter titled “Bubba Does Imus (and Vice Versa)” that “[t]he Clinton-Imus bond was forged in April during the 1992 campaign” after Imus interviewed Bill Clinton on the April 2, 1992, edition of his show. They continued:
The ties were broken — pulverized, actually — on March 21, 1996, when Imus was invited to be the featured entertainer at the Radio and TV Correspondents Association dinner, one of the annual gatherings of media luminaries and political players at which presidential attendance is all but mandatory. Imus had barely begun his routine when words such as “indicted,” “subpoena,” “Go, baby,” “AstroTurf in the pickup” and “pot-smoking weasel” came spilling out of his mouth. The president and first lady, seated on the dais, were forced to maintain their composure in front of three thousand spectators and the television cameras. (Imus also slammed a number of prominent “TV scum.”) In the wake of the humiliating event, the Clintons were presented with a letter of apology from the correspondents association, and White House press secretary Mike McCurry prevailed upon C-SPAN to desist from rebroadcasting the speech as scheduled. Imus, meanwhile, was unrepentant. “Let’s not all pretend we don’t know what the deal was,” he said. “They knew what they were getting when they asked me.” [Page 97]
On the April 4 edition of MSNBC’s Imus in the Morning, Imus noted that Donald Trump recently urged him to have Sen. Clinton on his program. Imus rejected the idea, saying, “I don’t like her” and claiming that the Clintons “screwed” him 10 years ago:
IMUS: Anyway, [Donald] Trump says I — he wants me to have Hillary Clinton on —
MICHAEL GRAHAM (radio host and syndicated columnist): Right.
IMUS: — which I’m not going to do.
GRAHAM: Why not?
IMUS: Because I don’t like her. Because she and her fat, stupid husband screwed me about 10 years ago, and I’m not going to get over it. I would remind my friend Donald Trump he wouldn’t have got over it either.
GRAHAM: No, he wouldn’t have.
IMUS: He would have done the exact same thing I’ve been doing all these years.
Similarly, on the April 6 edition of Imus, NBC News Washington bureau chief Tim Russert brought up Trump’s proposal and asked, “When’s that going to happen?” Imus replied, “Never”:
RUSSERT: Now, the other news I heard today is that Donald Trump is brokering Hillary Clinton to be your guest.
IMUS: Yes.
RUSSERT: When’s that going to happen?
IMUS: Never.
RUSSERT: It will absolutely happen.
IMUS: OK. Well. I’ll bet you $1 million to go to any charity you want that she’ll never be on this program.
Personal Note: Now that we’ve established cause from MM itself, it makes it all the more disgusting that Hillary would go to Rutgers to insert herself re: Imus. I know, it’s a feminist thing... right.
“My own thought is that Imus is just the Dixie Chicks in reverse, and that we appear hypocritical in trying to protect him. Let the Dems kill him off, he was their spokesperson, not ours. Good riddance.”
Don’t think he was exactly their kind of PC spokesperson since he called Clinton satan! :)
Althouse comments re: Newsweek piece:
Snip:
We need to think about why people were so hot to bring him down. Kosova provides the time line:
[U]nknown to Imus, one of his most loyal listeners in Washington, D.C., was watching, and taping, the show every day.... 26-year-old Ryan Chiachiere wasn’t a fan, and he wasn’t tuning in to be entertained. Chiachiere is one of a handful of young activists who spend their days wading through hours of radio and cable shows for Media Matters for America, a liberal group whose sole purpose is rooting out and “correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media.” Wired on coffee, Chiachiere was watching a recording of Imus’s show when he noticed the “hos” remark.
It was a big hit at the group’s morning meeting....
The group posted a video clip of the exchange on its Web site and put it up on YouTube. It sent e-mails to journalists and civil-rights and women’s groups.
The word, and the outrage, spread quickly. A week later, Imus was gone, banished from his multimillion-dollar television and radio show even before he had the chance to complete the all-too-familiar cycle of public penance that high-profile sinners are usually granted.
That is, Media Matters had been lying in wait for a long time, and finally they got exactly the sound bite they needed, and they played it masterfully. Think about why things fell into place so well and why so many people fell in line and took down this idiosyncratic character, who had been talking on the radio four hours a day, five days a week for so long. Who knows what havoc he might have wreaked in the 2008 campaign? Isn’t it convenient to have him out of the way?

I would like to see what you think after you watch a Program called “what not to wear” ON TLC. You will LOL, and you will be Shopping until you drop because sometimes a Gal with all the right stats, has no taste in Clothes. Knock yourself out. I prefer Cinnamon flavored Gum drops...LOL!
Have a great day all, and if I survive the nasty things I intend to do with coconut cream (just to put a weird image in your minds) I might see you later. LOL.
So at night plants are CO2 generators? Does the amount of CO2 produced equal the amount consumed during the day? Would that make them neutral in terms of their impact on the atmosphere?
I have never heard that one before nor has my daughter who was a biology major. Are you sure?
It taught me to keep women from my remote controls.
Bye.
Yes, clearly there were people taping the show and waiting to nail Imus. Also, I have no reason not to think that Imus was just trying to be cool and non-insulting when he used the hip-hop term, "ho".
That said, I do think that it's a good thing when a bunch of college girls come out and say that it is an insult to be referenced by the slang term, "ho".
The RU roster includes girls from Newark, Paterson, Camden and Montvale NJ plus girls from the Bronx, Brooklyn, E. Chicago, Cinncinnati and Ogden Utah. As I understand it, they worked hard and beat some pretty good teams to get to the finals. Good for them that they don't like the term that some other kids use.
