Pizza Patrón's Peculiar Pecuniary Peso-Paying Predicament Written by Doc Farmer Tuesday, January 09, 2007 ChronWatch.com As most of my regular readers know, I'm not averse to world travel. Been there, done that, seen the movie and bought the thawb and ghutra. I've worked in many a country. When I'm in those countries, I have made it a point to be respectful of the laws and customs for whatever particular locale in which I'm residing. When I'm in Tokyo, I bow respectfully to my co-workers but still avoid the sushi (or, as I like to call it, bait). When I'm in...

An Open Letter to All Border Patrol Agents Written by Doc Farmer Wednesday, December 27, 2006 ChronWatch.com Dear Border Patrol Agents, Officers and Employees, First of all, thank you for your service. Your dedication to this nation is impressive and humbling. You do a tough job without nearly enough support from the government, in either manpower or equipment. You catch illegal aliens and drug smugglers, only to see them back on the American streets weeks (or even days) later. While you no longer have the infamous "catch and release" program, there's still no effective handling of the massive illegal alien...

Republicans, This Is Why You MUST Vote!Written by Doc FarmerMonday, November 6 2006ChronWatch.com Tomorrow is Election Day. The miracle provided to you by the Founding Fathers in 1776, and protected and preserved for you by the blood of our best. A miracle that most Americans, sadly, take for granted. Don't be one of those who take it for granted. Especially if you're a rep/con/tair -- my more accurate term for the so-called "right". An amalgam of the core political constructs of Republicans, conservatives and libertarians. For many, many months, you've been told that the lib/dem/soc/commies (my more accurate term for...

Mark Foley and James Webb -- A Study in Hypocrisy and Media Bias Written by Doc Farmer Tuesday, October 31, 2006 ChronWatch.com I'm sure all of you know the name Mark Foley by now. He is -- or, more accurately, was -- the Congressman for the 16th district in Florida, who sent some very sexual Instant Messages (NOT e-Mails, okay?) to a congressional Page. There's been some question as to whether the Page was 16 or 18 when those IMs were being sent, but it doesn't matter to me quite frankly. Foley was wrong, he violated the trust of his...

Tan Nguyen -- Fat, White, Rich, Anti-Immigrant Racist? Written by Doc Farmer Monday, October 23, 2006 ChronWatch.com Well, you can certainly tell that we're getting close to an election. Claims, counterclaims, ads about a candidate's record which are called "attack" ads (gee, telling the truth is an attack?), heated arguments, high-profile congressional leaders going into hiding, photos of candidates in bed with a cigarette and a handsome farm animal (with the emphasis on the evils of smoking, apparently), etc. Folks get pretty sick of it pretty fast and, like parents in August who pray for Christmas to just get over...

Question At Vote.com: CONGRESSIONAL PAGE SCANDAL: SHOULD SPEAKER HASTERT RESIGN? YES! He was told about Foley's inappropriate emails last year, but did nothing about it. The buck has to stop somewhere! NO! Foley lied to him and he respected the parents’ wishes that nothing further be done about it. Foley’s the problem, not Hastert!

Foley, Pirro, Allen - Political Set-Ups? Written by Doc Farmer Tuesday, October 03, 2006 File this article under "Things That Make You Go Hmmm...." First of all, let me make my meaning plain -- Former House Representative Mark Foley is a bastard. He's a scumbag. He's a sleazy pervert. He's a disgrace. I don't care if he laid a finger on any congressional pages or not. His Instant Messages were disgusting, and he had no business using his position of power to "flirt" with underage boys (or girls, if he were so inclined). I do, however, have to ask this...

Bill Clinton's Rage As He Angrily Defends His Handling Of Bin Laden: Did He Do Enough To Get Al-Qaeda? http://www.vote.com/vote/60412193/ Yes: Bill Clinton said in an interview with Fox News' Chris Wallace, "I tried and I failed to get bin Laden. I regret it, but I did try and I did everything I thought I responsibly could." Blaming Clinton for failing to get Osama is a right-wing conspiracy! NO: Fox News' Chris Wallace asked former President Bill Clinton a legitimate news question about bin Laden and Clinton freaked out. It’s obvious from the attacks on the U.S. on September 11,...

Bill Clinton's Terrorism Temper Tantrum Written by Doc Farmer Monday, September 25, 2006 Bill Clinton Gets Mad About Terrorism (Finally!) We all get ticked off occasionally. It happens. We even lose our temper and chew people out from time to time. I understand that, and I'd wager that most people do. We get upset when we make mistakes -- usually with ourselves, although it is natural to get a bit honked off at the person(s) who point out our mistakes. Normally, we accept their criticism (if we're honest to ourselves) and learn to correct those mistakes and prevent them in...

Folks, I'm planning to send a letter to the DoJ as regards last week's attempt by five lib/dem/soc/commie senators to stop the ABC program, "The Path To 9/11". However, since I'm not a member of the legal profession, I'm not sure if I've worded this correctly. I'd appreciate any help or advice you'd be willing to provide. Many thanks. Doc Farmer ************************************************* The Honorable Alberto R. Gonzales Attorney General of the United States Department of Justice Room 4400 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20530-0001 12 September 2006 Dear Mr. Attorney General, I write today to request a formal investigation...

Lib/Dem/Soc/Commies -- You've Forgotten The Lessons Of 9/11 Written by Doc Farmer Monday, September 11, 2006 Author's Note: This is a request to most of my conservative, patriotic readers. Please don't read it with yourself in mind. Instead, send it along to every lib/dem/soc/commie discussion board, mailing list or group you can find. Send it to every lib/dem/soc/commie media outlet. Call every lib/dem/soc/commie talk show with it. This message is for them, and it's high time they heard it. Five years. It's not that long a time, when you consider the history of our nation. It's a mere blink of...

Just received this in an e-Mail message: Doc, Another Point about CBS, Zip code 77034 does not have and never has had PO Boxes. The closest Zip code in Houston with PO Boxes is 77032. PO Box 34567 Houston, Texas 77034 never existed in 1972 My company is in the data business and has the history on addresses. Propostional spacing was introduced in 1980 with the Xerox Memorywriter which competed with the IBM Selectric. I wouldn't be so sure IBM didn't have a Times Roman font ball. They definitely didn't have it in proportinnal spacing. I spent 28 years with...

CBS Lies. Will Dan Rather Get Away With It This Time? Written by Doc Farmer Sunday, September 12, 2004 Last week, 60 Minutes The Sequel (This Time It's Personal) ran a hard-hitting no-hold-barred investigative report trashing President George W. Bush. This is the fourth or fifth time CBS News has done this. Normally, this is done in the fashion of taking Bush-bashing books being sold by a publisher owned by the parent company of CBS News (Viacom) and doing puffball interviews with the authors. This time, however, CBS decided to raise, ad nauseum, the already discredited canard regarding Dubya's National...

The Soros-Kerry Connection Written by Doc Farmer Tuesday, August 24, 2004 Politics is an ugly business. Politics also makes for rather bizarre bedfellows. In terms of vitriol, spite, chutzpah, and sheer hit-for-way-too-long-with-an-ugly-stick repulsiveness, 2004 has plumbed new depths. It started in 2003, before the lib/dem/soc/commie candidate had even been selected from the gang of nine, with well-financed hatred focused on one man. Dubya. For a year, we’ve heard the same refrain. ABB – Anybody But Bush. Anybody could include Saddam, Hitler, bin Laden, Mao, Stalin, etc., but for the lib/dem/soc/commies, Hey, that’d be just fine. Besides, they’re all closer to...

The Lies of Michael Moore in ''Fahrenheit 9/11'' Written by Doc Farmer Wednesday, June 30, 2004 A half-truth is the worst kind of lie. I’ve been getting a lot of guff from some of the lib/dem/soc/commie participants on the ChronWatch Forum for daring to comment on the movie, '''Fahrenheit 9/11,''' without seeing it. My view was that if you could smell a large pile of manure, you didn’t have to jump into it to experience it. However, that did little to satisfy them. '''Coward!''' they cried. Moreover, I didn’t want to spend my hard-earned money to fatten up an already...

Speaking Ill of the Dead--The Media Treatment of Nick Berg and Pat TillmanPosted by Doc Farmer Wednesday, May 19, 2004 My column last week was written before the news about the horrific slaughter of Nick Berg, an innocent American contractor. I had commented on the stupidity and cowardice of the mainstream (see also: lib/dem/soc/commie) media, their fear of us doing anything remotely discomforting in this, or any, war. However, Mr. Berg’s tragic demise brought into focus the true problem of the media. Their complicity with the enemies of America. I’ve seen the video. I made a point to watch it....

"Immigration Amnesty? No, Mr. President, No!" Posted by Doc Farmer Friday, January 09, 2004 (My Letter to the President) To: President George W. Bush White House Subject: Your Proposed Immigration ''Reform'' Proposals Mr. President, As a native-born American citizen, I offer my respectful dissent to your proposal of 07 January 2004. I watched your speech on Wednesday, and was immensely dismayed by your action. You are, in effect, legalizing the millions of illegal immigrants (not ''undocumented aliens'' or other such euphemism) who broke American law to enter this nation. I know you stated that you oppose amnesty. Yet, this is...

"Open Letter to Dick Morris" Posted by Doc Farmer Saturday, August 23, 2003 Dear Dick Morris, I recently read your article regarding media bias (see link at the bottom) and found it quite interesting. Granted, I’ve been aware of media bias for a long time now. Accuracy in Media (AIM) and the Media Research Centre have been telling folks about the leftist slant in the news for years. Bernard Goldberg’s ''Bias'' was a well-written eye opener regarding just the kind of shenanigans that really go on in the newsroom. I understand how censorship works, and you did a very good...

"The Journey Continues--Week 2" Posted by Doc Farmer Wednesday, August 20, 2003 As most of you know, I lost my job in Doha, Qatar. It’s been two weeks now, and I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the many of you who sent me e-mail messages of encouragement. They were greatly appreciated. What’s it like, being unemployed? Most of us have experienced it at least once in our careers, but it’s rare that we really examine it or talk about it. But there are things that I need to really get off my chest. Partly, this is a simple...

"Lights Out!" Posted by Doc Farmer Saturday, August 16, 2003 On Thursday, the lights went out along a good stretch of the eastern seaboard. Some blamed lightning, some blamed mechanical failure, some blamed terrorists, and some just reserved judgment until the facts could be discerned. But the real reason behind the failure is not the material issue here. It is that the failure could happen in the first place that must be examined. For decades, America’s energy grid has been susceptible to damage, failure, and attack. Yes, safety measures are in place, but they do not address the root problem--the...
