Michaal Ramirez's cartoon commentary on Jimmy Carter is here.

Bush set for climate change U-turn Downing Street says that belated US recognition of global warming could lead to a post-Kyoto agreement on curbing emissions Gaby Hinsliff, Juliette Jowit and Paul Harris Sunday January 14, 2007 The Observer (UK) George Bush is preparing to make a historic shift in his position on global warming when he makes his State of the Union speech later this month, say senior Downing Street officials. Tony Blair hopes that the new stance by the United States will lead to a breakthrough in international talks on climate change and that the outlines of a successor...

LODI — Kent Andersen of the Lodi Rescue Mission got tired of seeing charity dollars run overseas. So this Christmas he is asking people to sponsor the homeless men who frequent his mission.     "Bob, Dave and Al are right here, and they need help, too," Andersen says.    Part holiday gimmick, part jab at Christian priorities, Andersen's sponsorships landed him on local television — and already increased giving to his mission by 36%. Young people in particular like the idea of supporting a local homeless person.     After speaking at a church Andersen offered sponsor packets for men...

Former US president Jimmy Carter lashed out at British Prime Minister Tony Blair for being "so compliant and subservient" to the Bush administration in Washington. "I have been surprised and extremely disappointed with Tony Blair's behaviour," Carter told the Sunday Telegraph newspaper as he promoted his new book "Faith and Freedom." "I think that, more than any other person in the world, the prime minister could have had a moderating influence on Washington, and he has not," said the 81-year-old former head of state. He faulted Blair for not having been a constraint on US President George W. Bush's decision...

It is stated in the Bible that the devil is the father of all lies. And I believe it. I am something of a student of history, a subject that is pretty much ignored by our school system, and when it isn’t, it teaches more historical revisionist lies. The frightening thing about it is that our schools, our leaders, and especially our media, repeat flat out bald-faced lies as often as they can. And we believe them. God help us all, but we believe those lies so easily at times.

George W. Bush has talked openly about accomplishing the New World Order, which is a worldwide government that will lead to antichrist's rule and reign. In his Second Inaugural Address on January 20, 2005, President Bush said that he invaded Afghanistanand Iraq because he was attempting to complete an Ancient Plan based on an “Ancient Hope”, a Plan called the “New Order of the Ages”. His father, George Bush, while president, said on Sept 11th, 1990, that we are on the dawn of a "New World Order". That was 11 years TO THE DAY of 9/11/2001. Grandpa Bush, Prescott, was...

HottieGirl, bless her heart I love her to death, is somewhat gullible. She almost fell for the oldest trick in the book.Well, its not really a trick, just a missleading marketing strategy to get you to buy an elaborate water filtration system that can run into the thousands $$$. Here's how it started: Last week I noticed a vile sitting on the counter. It came in the mail and had "water test division" on it. I didn't give it another thought. HottieGirl, being the responsible citizen she is, fills it full of tap water and puts it back in the...

ALIEN NATION Carter UFO guru puts faith in crop circles Seeks to end Earth's quarantine by morespiritually evolved 'Off-Planet Cultures' Posted: April 14, 20068:55 p.m. Eastern © 2006 WorldNetDaily.com Alfred Webre President Jimmy Carter's former UFO guru, Alfred Webre, is still promoting the quest for extraterrestrials – now suggesting it is a matter of spiritual life and death for humanity. In his new book, "Exopolitics – Politics, Government and Law in the Universe," he concludes that Earth has been "under quarantine" too long from more spiritually evolved "Off-Planet Cultures" – or OPCs, as they are known in ET circles. Webre has...

Robin Williams has presented a Peace Plan that will work. gotta love Robin Williams...... Even if he's nuts! Leave it to Robin Williams to come up with the perfect plan. What we need now is for our UN Ambassador to stand up and repeat this message. Robin Williams' plan...(Hard to argue with this logic!) I see a lot of people yelling for peace but I have not heard of a plan for peace. So, here's ! one plan." 1) "The US will apologize to the world for our "interference" in their affairs, past &present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Tojo,...

Louise Ogborn was always willing to take on extra shifts at McDonald's in Mount Washington, Ky. Ogborn's mother had health problems and had recently lost her job, so the 18-year-old did whatever she could to help make ends meet. On April 9, 2004, Ogborn offered to work through the restaurant's evening rush, trying to be helpful and make a few extra dollars."I was just going to eat and then clock back in and help until somebody else came along that could help," she said. But Ogborn couldn't have known that her noble gesture would turn into a terrifying ordeal that...

I may catch hell for this, but I was so incensed I had to post this. Here is a paraphrase of what I just heard today at about 1:30 pm pst. The subject was hurricane Katrina and the government's response: Caller: They were loading the people at the Dome onto buses and not even telling them where they were going. That was horrible. It was like... Rhodes: Yes, your so right. You know what it reminded me of? I was at the Hollocaust Memorial in DC. They had a display of those, you know, cattle cars. And they were loading...

ANGLETON — A few of the jurors on the nation's first civil suit against pharmaceutical giant Merck & Co., over its painkiller Vioxx talked about their decision today. They awarded the widow of Robert Ernst, who died after taking Vioxx, $253.4 million in damages. The seven-man, five-woman jury deliberated for 10½ hours over two days before returning the verdict in a 10-2 vote. Ten of the 12 jurors concurred with Carol Ernst's contention that the Vioxx was responsible for her husband's death. Juror Derrick Chizer, who voted for Ernst, said the 10 like-minded jurors believed a heart attack triggered the...

We were recently approved for a line of credit to be used for home improvement/debt consolidation purposes. Upon signing the papers later this week, they said they would deposit some of the money into our checking account. Here are my questions: 1. Do they always give you a specified amount upfront? 2. Even though checks for the LOC will not be sent to us for a few weeks, what if we don't want to use this money and we want to pay some of it back? Are we assessed interest right away on this amount? I'm not sure if I...

It defies belief. Ex-President Jimmy Carter, who crystallized a fraudulent recall referendum for Venezuela's dictator Hugo Chavez, now says his Carter Center will return to Caracas "to help consolidate peace and democracy." He also says he's got a final report on the Venezuelan recall referendum. (There've been some other final reports but somehow he's got to issue a final final final report) He's up to no good. No one has demoralized Venezuela's democracy more than America's worst-ever president. The only legitimate reason he has to go to Caracas is to beg Venezuelans for forgiveness after that sorry show he put...

...Venezuelans would prefer at this time if the Carter Center stayed away from our country. The role the Center played in the recall referendum, before and after it, left a very bitter taste in all of those like me, who are certain that the outcome was fraudulent. ... Carter ... did not demand that the CNE do the “hot audits” on August 16th. ... There are lies in the reports from the Carter Center, such as that the boxes containing the ballots never left their sight. Thus, Venezuelans in the opposition think the Carter Center failed them completely by being...

Bwahahahah!!! Gasp! Bwahahahahahahah! (tears of laughter, blogger convulsing on the floor subject to one of the biggest laugh attacks recorded in blogdom). (Breathe, breathe deeply, garner composure, start writing again) Today we learn that Jennifer Mc Coy of the Carter Center will brave Venezuela to offer help in consolidating peace and democracy! The nerve! What is in store for us? Are they going to approve the new judicial system whose near uniform composition will ensure "peace" through a "uniform justice" (pun intended)? Will they offer to monitor the 2006 elections to validate yet another "fair" Chavez victory? ... I have...

Accuracy in Media is all over the other CBS News scandal, the one you haven't heard about yet. >>>While the media were abuzz over the release of the independent review panel report on CBS's "memogate" scandal, another CBS scandal was emerging. Coinciding with the release of the CBS report was the release of the January cover story, "Tin Soldier," in the Columbia Journalism Review, strongly suggesting that 60 Minutes Wednesday used phony Al Qaeda videotapes in its 2002 segment "Heart of Darkness." Dan Rather narrated the segment. The powerful Columbia Journalism Review (CJR) story was written by Mariah Blake. It...

Ever hear of how republican's always call the liberal left "Whiner's"? Well, take a look at Wa. State, ...who are the Whiner's now? LOTS OF LAUGHS! Boy, the shoes on the other foot now! I think it's great, don't you? These people deserve it..! Has anyone seen the comedian on HBO, who gave a discription of a "Republican"? Wow was that great, and very very true.

What the stars foretell for Bush, Kerry Arun Venugopal in New York | October 25, 2004 08:58 IST Last Updated: October 25, 2004 18:48 IST Sick of the nonstop political chatter on ABC, Fox News and CNN? Fed up with meaningless polls that show George W Bush winning soccer moms in South Dakota today and John Kerry taking Jewish trout fishermen tomorrow? Perhaps it's time you turned to the stars. In a ritual that occurs every four years, astrologers across America are doing their best to predict the outcome of the upcoming presidential election, offering colorful charts and exhaustive, if...

NY Threat Includes Nukes?According to the report, al Qaeda and other terrorists also could produce what the CIA calls an "improvised nuclear device" capable of causing a nuclear blast. Such a bomb is "intended to cause a yield-producing nuclear explosion," the report said. Terrorists could produce a nuclear device in three ways, including a bomb made from "diverted nuclear-weapons components," a nuclear weapon that had been modified, or a new, indigenously designed device, the report said. As far back as the mid-1970's the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment concluded, "a small group of people none of whom have ever had...

Osama bin Laden may soon have his hands on three Agosta 90B next-generation stealth submarines capable of carrying sixteen sea-to-land cruise missiles each. Those missiles can deliver atomic warheads. And Osama, I suspect, will have access to the forty nuclear warheads constructed by Pakistan. Washington and New York, two primary targets for Al Qaeda, are near bodies of water from which these nuclear-tipped missiles can be launched. So are many other major American cities. Here are the skeletal details: In 1994, DCN, the government-owned company that builds France's naval vessels, agreed to help the Pakistanis build and learn to operate...

As if kissing every powder-blue hiney thats paraded in front of him isn't bad enough, now it seems (according to the June 28 issue of The New American) President Bush is pushing to spend $606 million (Defense Dept dollars) to help train a UN standing army. More of our tax dollars spent on UN social elite globalists. How lovely. My disenchantment with President Bush all started with his amnesty for illegals scheme and things seem to be going downhill. I wonder... is he trying to make me not vote for him??

Virgin Mary Image In Hospital Window Attracts Catholics Worshipers Have Left $12,000 In Offerings POSTED: 11:39 am EDT June 21, 2004 UPDATED: 11:45 am EDT June 21, 2004 MILTON, Mass. -- A blotchy hospital window in Milton, Mass., remains an object of reverence for Catholics who believe it's an image of the Virgin Mary. In the year since the window at Milton Hospital attracted attention, worshipers have stopped by daily and left offerings that have grown to about $12,000. The money has been put in a hospital account until the board of trustees decides how to use it. The window's...

Amid all the splendid selections of texts and knick-knacks at the Chicago Printers Row Book Fair, I happened to spy three tables and a considerable amount of sidewalk devoted a company or collective called Revolution Books. I immediately went over with pen in hand. It’s a local bookstore that features all kinds of radical trinkets and accessories. You could feel its rebel vibe from a few booths away as the three Caucasian comrades running the booth blared rap music from a jam box one of them had brought. Once I got there, the first thing that caught my attention was...

Finally ... finally we can talk about what's really going on. Rather than accept the myth that 9/11 turned President Bush into a "hero" ... former counterterrorism expert Richard Clarke has bravely spoken out to tell us the real story - that Bush did not treat terrorism as an urgent issue. And that going to war in Iraq, in addition to tragically costing us so many lives, has diverted money and resources away from where they should have been focused - on dismantling al Qaeda and strengthening our homeland security. We now know that the Bush White House never made...

You will only understand the symbolism of the following if you learned through extraneous history or were old enough to have watched it play out that Ted Kennedy drove off of a bridge in Massachusetts on his way from an island with Mary Joe Kopechne in the late 60's. He did NOT seek help to rescue her when he surfaced. Instead he made his way to a hotel, called friends and the next morning reported the accident. She was, needless to say, both dead and wet. Kennedy faced no type of any censure or reprimand, much less any legal punishment...

WASHINGTON, April 28 — Ignoring objections from his conservative base, President Bush is to make a Rose Garden speech on Tuesday in support of a $15 billion bill to fight AIDS internationally that will direct some money to groups that promote abortion. The bill, sponsored by Representative Henry J. Hyde, Republican of Illinois, has been the subject of intense negotiations between the White House and both parties on Capitol Hill. Now it is drawing fire from conservatives who say Mr. Bush's support is merely an attempt to win favor with moderate swing voters in 2004. "This is about politics," Ken...

How stupid and mindlessness were the legions of lemmings who demonstrated in the name of "peace" on the streets of various Western democracies last weekend? Two wise opinion pieces from the U.K. remind us of just how foolish and misguided today's anti-war crowd have been. First up is the inimitable Christopher Hitchens, writing in The Mirror in an op-ed commentary entitled, "Peace" Marchers Out of Step . Here's Mr. Hitchen's basic message: DURING the many years I spent on the Left, the cause of self-determination for Kurdistan was high on the list of principles and priorities -- there are many...

Fresh from a three-day "fact-finding" trip to Iraq, actor Sean Penn claims his new acquaintances there are using him as a propaganda tool. An Iraqi online news service reported yesterday that Penn "has condemned the U.S.-British threats to wage war against Iraq," and that the actor "confirmed that Iraq is completely clear of weapons of mass destruction and the United Nations must adopt a positive stance toward Iraq," the New York Post reported today.

American woman filed a sex crime lawsuit against George W. BushA lot of women liked previous President of the United States Bill Clinton. Women thought that he was a very charming and attractive man. However, the situation with incumbent President George Bush is totally different. Mr. Bush is definitely a representative of another psychological type of human being. It is evident that he is often drawn to solve all problems with the help of the military force. As it turns out, this trait of his character it also seen when it comes to sexual relationships with women. There were some...

So many widows, so little time. Lately, I have been honored with the distinction of several trusting people from across the planet to make me rich. Mostly unfortunate Nigerian widows.
