I will say this about the ACLU: When the state has turned the focus of its awesome power on (against) you, the poor, dangling helpless little individual doesn't stand a chance, so that even a bunch of commies like the ACLU are very much needed as a watchdog, and advocate to assist the individual when no one else will. This is something to think about my rightwing brothers. Of course, I vigorously disagree with them 99.999% of the time. But I do still appreciate their willingness to th...

The following article was inspired by a recent posting about arrogant americans: There is nothing new in old Europe viewing Americans as arrogant. Europe has a long history of doing so, and I, as an American, wholeheartedly agree that we Americans are indeed an arrogant bunch-- even to a fault: i.e., every American who died on foreign soil in defense of the liberty and freedoms of some other fella, who was a complete stranger no less, might be considered by some a fault. It was indeed ...

A buddy forwarded the following to me: "Let me start out by saying that I don't want to simply piss people off......but I do have strong views on this topic. When I was in the Fleet (regular navy) I was stationed aboard the USS Shiloh. At that time it was an all male crew. Things went smooth for the most part. Now when I was in the Teams....we bounced around to some ships that had a coed crew. It turned in to frickin Jerry Springer. Pregnancies, rapes, little silly high school games, yo...

The silver haired lady confronted her doctor with a complaint of pains all over her body. "Be more precise," he said. "So I can help you, try pointing to some of the places that hurt. The silver-haired doll put her finger on her arm and said, "Ouch!" then her finger to her hip and said, "Ouch!" and then to her rib cage and said, "Ouch!" again. The doctor stopped her and asked, "Were you a blonde before your hair grayed"? "Why yes!" she said excitedly, "But how did you know?" Th...

Subject: Fw: This is awesome!!!!! The train was quite crowded, so the U. S. Marine walked the entire length looking for a seat, but the only seat left was taken by a well-dressed, middle-aged, French woman's poodle. The war-weary Marine asked, "Ma'am, may I have that seat?" The French woman just sniffed and said to no one in particular, "Americans are so rude. My little Fifi is using that seat." The Marine walked the entire train again, but the only seat left was under that dog. ...

After 911, the NYPD enlisted the services of former CIA & military counter-terrorism experts. Let's call this approach smart. Compare the CIA approach: After 911, the CIA rejected the application of a friend of mine, while the NYPD, on the other hand, enlisted his services. The reason the CIA rejected my buddy was because his father, who for 30 years worked as a part time janitor at local NYC mosque, is originally from Egypt. The Agency saw no value in my buddy speaking fluent Arabic. T...

A friend forwarded me the following. Counting your blessings please do the same. The Sands of Christmas-- I had no Christmas spirit when I breathed a weary sigh, and looked across the table where the bills were piled too high. The laundry wasn't finished and the car I had to fix, My stocks were down another point, the Dolphins lost by six. And so with only minutes till my son got home from school I gave up on the drudgery and grabbed a wooden stool. The burdens that I carried were ...

Hallelujah! Bernard Kerik is an excellent selection to head up Homeland security. By all accounts, he's no shrinking Lilly, and made his way up through the ranks the rough way. He's street smart, has a big pair of balls, and that, grasshoppers, is the only way to fight these terrorist maggots. I am pleased, as is Lady Dove. A thing about my wife (Lady Dove). She lost her beloved sister on that day, 911, and a good friend of ours was one of the 23 N.Y.City police officers murdered that...

My wife (Lady Dove) & I were cuddled up by the fire place when Bing Crosby appeared on the television screen. I couldn't believe my ears when my wife told me that Bing used to beat his wife. Now I don't know what to think. I really enjoyed his songs & movies. As one who is by training sensitive to P.C. considerations, I make it a point to try and understand such problems. See, I'm half-Black & half-Sicilian (I guess white), and I have had to often suffer the very presence of bigots & rac...

About six months ago when I returned home to my wife (Lady Dove), I had a windfall of about $30,000 waiting in the bank. While I have had some nice cars in my day, Lady Dove & I decided to splurge on a new SUV. Its cost was closer to $40,000 than $30,000. We took a road trip to spend Thanksgiving with Grandma; we stopped at a rest area, and when we came out, someone had sideswiped my vehicle. Lady Dove ducked for cover because there was a time in my life when I would have flipped...

A TRAITOR IS ABOUT TO BE HONORED KEEP THIS MOVING ACROSS AMERICA This is for all the kids born in the 70's who do not remember, and didn't have to bear the burden that our fathers, mothers and older brothers and sisters had to bear. Jane Fonda is being honored as one of the "100 Women of the Century." Unfortunately, many have forgotten and still countless others have never known how Ms. Fonda betrayed not only the idea of our country, but specific men who served an...

Osama, the psychopathic mass-murderer, has received the relgious blessing to nuke an American city (we'll see if he keeps his campaign promise to only attack red states). The authority to proceed and nuke America in the name of Allah came by way of permission from a Saudi cleric, a holy man. How do we respond? My suggestion is that we promulgate to the world that the official American foreign policy, if nuked under such circumstances, is simply to nuke Mecca, and then some. Why not? R...

Distraught over the defeat of kerry, Cameron Diaz and her pubescent boyfriend, Justine Tumbleweed, emerged pugnaciously drunk from a chic L.A. night spot, assaulting a photographer for doing his job: taking their picture. Cameron Diaz, not only physically assailed this average snap shot Joe just out there grinding out a living, with her fist and feet, but she also robbed him of his camera. His livelihood. These ingrates work to become famous. Then, when enveloped in fame’s omnipresent eye...

"How far that little candle throws his beams!" Portia, Merchant of Venice. On fox news, I just heard a democrat hack suggest the election outcome fraudulent because the result conflicts with exit poll data. At approximately 7:00 p.m., on election night, this party hack was sipping on champagne, celebrating a kerry win. Then, the juggernaut of raw data/real votes (the only data worth a lick of salt) resulted in this hack having to cork her bottle. This hack is a perfect example of a se...
