General Sanchez

General Ricardo Sanchez gave a speech recently in which he blasted the Bush Administration and the media. We heard media reports on Sanchez's criticism of the Iraq War policy - a policy he was a major figure in developing and implementing - but we heard nothing from the mainstream media about Sanchez's scathing attack on the media elites.

Sanchez - a three star general - was a major player in Iraq. Did he express the same policy concerns during his tenure in Baghdad that he expresses now? Is Sanchez angry because he was passed over for promotion? Is it sour grapes and hypocritcal now for him to blast the policy that he helped to formulate? There were major mistakes made in the planning, the leadup, and the execution of the war in Iraq. But show me a war - any war - that does not include major mistakes.

Sanchez is dead on right about the media. For many years I have been saying the mainstream media is not only biased, but dishonest. Sanchez's blast of the Bush Administration received major media attention. Sanchez's blast - a major event- of the media coverage of the war received little or NO attention in the mainstream media.

Why is that?

NASCAR and Democrats

Democrats in Washington, DC sent staffers from the Homeland Security Agency committee to NASCAR races to check out the risk of a terrorist attack during one of the large races.

Nothing wrong with that.

However, the staffers were told to get their shots before attending the NASCAR races. Yeah, you never know what diseases those redneck race fans may be carrying around! NASCAR and its fans took umbrage at the insult.

Trips to the large cities of America are much more dangerous than a few hours spent at a NASCAR event. We all know how rampant crime is in the big Northern cities; Baltimore, Washington, New York, Newark, Philadelphia, Boston, Cleveland, Chicago, and many others. We can only guess at the exotic diseases that inhabit these cold and impersonal cities. There are no shots to prevent one from catching the large city viruses.

I think the Democrats just shot themselves in the mouth and in the process lost what political hope they had in NASCARland.

They're Back!

The Democrats flew into Washington like an agitated swarm of Killer Bees.

Yes, indeed, the Democrats are back in control of Congress. Like the Africanized bees the Democrats send out daily raids to attack those who the Democrats perceive as threats to their power. President Bush, VP Cheney, career military leaders, Rush Limbaugh and others who dare question the wisdom of Democratic ideas and policies receive severe stings.

Led by the California Queen, Nancy Pelosi, and the Nevada undertaker, Harry Reid, the Democrats are determined to raise taxes, to undermine the War on Terror, and to further sink the American people into soft socialism.

The Ds have been in control since January 2007 and as of today not one spending bill has been approved by Congress. One of the main functions of Congress is to approve an annual budget BEFORE the new fiscal year starts. Fiscal year 2008 started on 1 October 2007. Yet the Ds fail to act on what should be their priorities. Sure they have time to pass silly and meaningless measures and to pass inflated health care legislation that President Bush vowed to veto long before it was passed.

The Ds are looking as usual for partisan isssues to justify more Killer Bee stinging raids.

Keep the Raid spray can handy as there will be angry Democrats flying about this fall.

They're back!
