Pardon the vanity but I just saw a clip on Fox News of John Kerry giving a stump speech and he is seen spitting on the microphone and slober can be seen on the microphone. If someone has the ability to capture video this could make for great humor as well as a "name that caption" posting.

Pictures have been released showing inmates at Camp Delta in Guantanamo Bay being told their 'rights.'Detainees were told they could make an appeal to a military panel to end their imprisonment. The US Supreme Court has already said that they can appeal to America's civil courts as well.'In several instances, detainees chose to ignore the reading, chose to tear up the paper that had been given to them with the information on it,' Deputy Comissioner Brian Janke said.Some 15 people at Guantanamo Bay have been identified as potential defendants for military tribunals. But so far only 4 have been charged....

Speaking to you on tape: Osama Bin Laden, killer and craven coward, who presumes the Western world is as pusillanimous as he. Stop waging war upon Muslims, he says, and we shall spare you from our swords (or bombs or grenades or hijacked planes). To which offer the Western world responds, "Stuff it, cave boy." Or words to that effect. It must, of course, also be noted that the U.S. and its friends in Europe are waging war not upon Muslims, but against terrorists who happen to be Muslim, and against a minority of Iraqis, and their radical cohorts, who...

I share this info with you and invite any of you to share more stories, etc. The left is now trying to re-write history AGAIN (WMD vs 1441 as reason for going to war with Iraq) I found at least one soldier's story where he was spit on 3 times in SF while in uniform. The leader of the Syracuse Peace Council seemed to take issue with my sign about them spitting on the troops. He said that it is an urban legend, that no troops were spit on during Vietnam. I just ran across another leftist who tried to...

Spit all you want, Chicagoans, at least on the sidewalk. A 17-year-old's arrest last week for spitting about a block from Senn High School on the North Side unleashed a protest from the student's family -- and an acknowledgement from the city that a ban on spitting in the public way was actually repealed in 1997. Now Marcus Fulbright's mother, Valerie Fulbright, is considering a lawsuit against the city alleging civil-rights violations against her son. The Chicago Police Department, meanwhile, sent a message to officers telling them not to enforce the spitting ban anymore. Marcus Fulbright, a Senn senior, was...

I have long contended that our socialist system of government is in fact nothing but a renovation of the ancient system of aristocracy. Whenever you have different rules and punishment for people based upon their status, in this case the status of being a government employee, you have injustice (although the ones receiving the preferential treatment would of course argue against you). A good example of this has occurred recently in Oklahoma City where John Carl Marquez was arrested for suspicion of beating his wife and faces a year in prison and a fine. During the arrest, the man also...

HONG KONG (Reuters) - Spitters and litter bugs beware: the Hong Kong government is about to make the familiar habit of cleansing one's airways and tossing of rubbish very expensive. The government, aiming to prevent more outbreaks of the deadly SARS virus and bird flu, is launching a sweeping clean-up campaign to give the city's image a much-needed polish. "Some of the measures will be seen as very draconian," a government source, who did not want to be identified, said on Monday. The price of spitting or littering? HK$1,200 (94 pounds) a time. Those who cannot afford to pay may...

The state Legislature was urged to allow the party to remove his name from the November ballot. "There was just a lot of anger over what he did," party Chairman Aaron Starr...
