Bit 'o' News...

A few things of note worth mentioning today.

The always entertaining Ted Turner used an awards ceremony to shoot his mouth off again, though this time he may have actually been sober for the occasion.

Read the whole article here.

To highlight Ted’s rant; he basically sounded like a bitter old man lamenting the world around him and the mistakes of his youth.

"We can't afford the war in Iraq," Turner said. "This is a big waste of time. "I wish we would say, 'We won and we are going home.' We shouldn't be there. Bombing isn't a way of changing people's minds. You do that with education."

Yes Ted, we should stop shooting at the nice terrorist people and offer to teach them the ways of the western world.

Oh, wait, THAT’S WHY THEY’RE TRYING TO KILL US ALL!

He also took the requisite swipe at Bush, pointing out that he’s got his finger on the nuclear button and he’s an ex-alcoholic. I’d say this is a case of the pot calling the kettle black except ol’ Teddy is still a drunk. It’s no mystery why Time Warner was able to take over CNN and edge the old sot out of the captain’s chair.

I guess I just find it a bit sad when the people who are their own clichés or caricatures become pathetic, wasted shadows of themselves. It’s just not as much fun to laugh at them.


Canada grew some balls today when it refused to have any contact with the new Hamas-run Palistinian government. It would seem that having a right wing government in place is doing Canada some good. The funny thing about this whole Hamas in power thing is that the dweebs in Hamas can’t understand why countries are turning their backs on them. Check out this quote:

"I think the Canadian position is hasty and shows obvious bias," newly installed Palestinian Information Minister Youssef Rizka told The Associated Press in Gaza City. "What we need from the Canadian government is that it ask the Israeli authorities to admit that they are occupying Palestinian land."

Do you see the amazingly one sided thinking involved here? The Hamas and those who follow them (Muslims in general) don’t understand the idea that people are different, they have different beliefs, and don’t expect or tolerate being forced into a backwards way of thinking just because your religion says so. He starts the sentence “What we need from the Canadian government…” Really? Is that what this is all about, what YOU need from Canada and other governments of the world? Well then, why didn’t you just say so. While you’re at it just tell us to wear towels on our heads and make our wives quit their jobs, stay at home, and wear burkhas.

What these douchbags need is a good swift kick in the ass. And from the looks of it it’s on the horizon. I’m glad several governments are standing against them and hope others follow suit. The sooner Hamas is eradicated the better for the people of this planet.

And to wrap up the news blurbs for today we go regional to my neck of the woods and look at one of Georgia’s own making an ass of herself….again. Congressional Crack-Head Cynthia McKinney (Democrat) made news again for hitting a Capitol Police officer today. Apparently she has a nasty habit of not wearing her congressional lapel pin to work and was stopped (again) at the security checkpoint because (go figure) the guard didn’t know she was a congresswoman.

See the whole thing here.

This is the same Cynthia McKinney who came forward with allegations that 911 was planned and carried out by George Bush only days after it happened. She has constant altercations with authorities and has generally been a disgrace to Georgia and every office she’s held. She is an A1 first rate moonbat. She has accepted contributions from known Islamic terrorist front groups and seeks to actively undo this countries defenses at every turn.

Seriously, if you have nothing better to do one day and want to exercise a good, rueful headshake, just google this wacko and read away.

Well kids, that’s all for today, it’s pool day and I’m already late.

Miles to swim before I sleep…

Captain.
