JibJab Does it Again!

JibJab.com, famous for their political parodies like "This Land" and "It's Good to be in D.C.", has come out with another parody just in time for the Presidential Inauguration. The piece "Second Term" is ready to view here.

Good Sign for Pro-Life Movement

The women that started it all, Jane Roe a.k.a Norma McCorvey, is asking that Roe vs. Wade be reopened based on new scientific knowledge that abortions are damaging to the physical, emotional, and mental health of the mother.

"Now we know so much more, and I plead with the court to listen to the witnesses and re-evaluate Roe vs. Wade," McCorvey said. "It was a dreadful day in America when the Supreme Court allowed a woman to kill her own child."

Ms. McCorvey, who became a Christian in 1995, now runs the pro-life ministry Roe No More.

Come on Girls, What's Going On?

I guess I'm in the minority! Why are females buying into the feminist movement? They do nothing for the advancement of females. I just don't get it!

MSM: Aiding and Abetting the Enemy in Iraq

This is a must read! It's from LTC Ryan over in Iraq. He's part of the 1st Cav. Div. stationed at Ft. Hood.

Eastwood vs Moore

At an Awards Ceremony in New York, Clint Eastwood shocked the audience by claiming that "if you (Michael Moore) ever show up at my front door with a camera — I'll kill you. I mean it." Whoa those are fighting words, guess who'd win!

The Security of the Left

Why are Liberals in this country clinging to the broken Social Security system? What is it about this program that they think is so great? One answer may be that the Left receives power (and votes) from people being dependent on the government. Now I have a huge investment into Social Security Reform. In 41 years I will be eligible to receive my first social security check. All evidence points to this program being bankrupt by this time. That is one reason I've already started to plan for my retirement. Bush acknowledges this and is pushing for a change that will guarantee that I will see some of the money that is being taken from my paycheck. Those on the Left that know their power is being pulled away are fighting and talking out: Kennedy, the AARP, and even FDR's grandson.

The Heritage Foundation has a Social Security Calculator, based on my current pay and age I would recieve $7439 more money a month with a Personel Retirement Account than with the current system. Sounds good to me!

Saddam Hussein Did Much Worse

I'm sure you've heard about the Abu Ghriab "torture" incidents and seen the pictures. Well the trial of the so-called ring leader, Spc Graner, is ongoing now right down the road here in Ft. Hood. Yesterday, former inmates testified to their treatment while at Abu Ghraib, saying about the torture that "even Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein did not do such things." No all he did was murder and rape hundreds of thousands of people. If only this kind of torture, that has been the focus of the main stream media since the pictures came out, was all that Saddam did.

CBS Memogate Revealed, Again

So the Independent Council set up by CBS to investigate the Bush/National Guard report reveals that there were serious flaws in the preparation and reporting of this piece. Oh really, tell me something I don't know. One good thing that did come out of this was the resignation of three top CBS executives and the termination of the producer of the piece. It's about time!

Here are some thoughts on the release:

Abu Ghraib Quiz

The Mudville Gazette has summerized the whole Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal into a fun quiz. Take it and learn some new things, I sure did.

Bush is Certified

Despite challenges from the left, Congress certifies Bush's reelection. Let's see if this stops the left from crying foul and saying the election was stolen. Right!

Why America is Still on Top!

This Washington Times article explains why America is still on top of the world in terms of influence and power. This article goes on to examine America's "hard power" i.e. our military and research and development, and our "soft power" i.e. our culture and it's perpetuation into other cultures. It's a very interesting read.

I'm Destined to be Single!

Seems to be, based on one British study, that the higher an IQ a man has, the easier it is to find a mate, on the flip side, the smarter a women is the harder it is to find a husband.

"For boys, there is a 35% increase in the likelihood of marriage for each 16-point rise
in IQ. For girls, there is a 40% drop for each 16-point increase."

Wow, isn't that encouraging for us females that are so lucky to be born with a higher IQ, a quicker wit. Maybe it's not because the women are smart, maybe it's because the men are shallow. Hmmmm.....

"The results may explain why a sharp-witted man like Vic Reeves, 45, the comedian, appears to have found wedded bliss with Nancy Sorrell, 30 — perhaps she is highly intelligent, but her jobs as underwear model and lap dancer have certainly enabled her to hide the fact."

Yeah, ole Vic looked far and wide for a smart girl, he just couldn't find one that would give him lap dances for free and model her underwear for him.

Georgia Wins!!!!

Georgia wins the Outback bowl! Final score, Georgia 24, Wisconsin 21! Pollack was named player of the game. He's a cutie!!!!!

Why Do Some People Have to be Told This?

Is it just me or is this just common sense. When a disaster of the magnitude that happened in South Asia, isn't the decent thing to do is forget our differences and band together for the good of all. There is always time later to complain. Well Podhoretz of the NY Post, has to remind some that it's about the tragedy- not more Bush-bashing!

My cousin had a baby! Her name is Grace Lenore and she's beautiful. I saw her on Christmas and she was an angel!

Don't forget, UGA plays Wisconsin tomorrow at 11am eastern in the Outback Bowl. Go Dawgs!

The Left Just Can't Get Over It!

So we all know that Bush won Ohio and thus won the election, right? So why can't those that lost (i.e. the Left, the Greenies) accept the results and go on with celebrating the new year. So we've got some third-party candidates that want another recount. Isn't that redundant, another RE-count. The votes have already been counted again and guess what, Bush won big. Give it a rest. So now we've got some Congressmen that plan on objecting to the votes of the Ohio electors when the electoral College Ballots are opened before the joint session of Congress next Thursday. Guess who's the leader of this typical pack, that's right, my man John Conyers. And guess who's a part of this Motley Crue, Cynthia McKinney of Georgia. Now if memory serves me right, she just got reelected this November. She's not even technically in the House yet. Doesn't she have some Islamic terrorist to meet with and accept money from.

The UN Thinks We're Stingy?

I personally think we may be too nice and too giving. Who wants to give aid to those that will just as soon as turn around and stab us in the back. We're giving out billions of dollars worth of aid and we're getting nothing back from it. Here are some numbers dealing with the money we give to the UN and what we get back in return, a lot of oposition!

Why Do We Pay Billions to the United Nations?
The United States gives out $13.3 billion tax dollars in direct Foreign Aid annually. The United States is above and beyond the single most generous benefactor of the United Nations, donating $2.4 billion dollars of YOUR money, to primarily third-world dictators.This amount is 25% of the United Nations budget. In addition, the United States also gives another $1.4 billion tax dollars to United Nations' programs and agencies. The American taxpayers fund more for the United Nations than ALL of the other 177 member nations COMBINED.What most Americans do not realize is that the vast majority of the recipients of the of US Foreign Aid routinely vote against the wishes of the United States in the United Nations at an average rate of 74%. In other words, of the $13.3 billion tax dollars invested in direct Foreign Aid only about 26% or $3.5 billion went to support people whoendorsed American initiatives or causes. A staggering $9.8 billion tax dollars went to causes and people who were and are in open and direct opposition to the United States' interests and objectives.Listed below are the actual voting records of various Arabic/Islamic States which are recorded in both the US State Department and United Nations' records:

Kuwait votes against the United States 67% of the time.
Qatar votes against the United States 67% of the time.
Morocco votes against the United States 70% of the time.
United Arab Emirates votes against the U. S. 70% of the time.
Jordan votes against the United States 71% of the time.
Tunisia votes against the United States 71% of the time.
Saudi Arabia votes against the United States 73% of the time.
Yemen votes against the United States 74% of the time.
Algeria votes against the United States 74% of the time.
Oman votes against the United States 74% of the time.
Sudan votes against the United States 75% of the time.
Pakistan votes against the United States 75% of the time.
Libya votes against the United States 76% of the time.
Egypt votes against the United States 79% of the time.
Lebanon votes against the United States 80% of the time.
India votes against the United States 81% of the time.
Syria votes against the United States 84% of the time.
Mauritania votes against the United States 87% of the time.

US Foreign Aid to those that hate us:
Egypt, for example, after voting 79%of the time against the United States, still receives $2 billion annually in US Foreign Aid.
Jordan votes 71% against the United States and receives $192,814,000 annually in US Foreign Aid.
Pakistan votes 75% against the United States receives $6,721,000 annually.
India votes 81% against the United States receives $143,699,000.

Perhaps it is time to get out of the UN and give the tax savings back to the American workers who have to skimp and sacrifice to pay the taxes.

Tsunami Videos

Well I'm sure by now everyone has heard about the Tsunami that hit in south Asia. Here is a link to some video of it hitting. What's amazing is all the people walking on the beach ands standing around watching all the big waves. It's hard to believe that there was no warning for these people. What a mess!

Homeless?

Well here I am at work again (just taking a break), back in Texas from my holiday in Georgia. On the plane ride back I started to think about where my home is. It's confusing to say that I'm going 'home' for the holidays and then say to everyone back 'home' that I'm returning 'home' soon. Can I say home #1 and home #2?
They say that home is where the heart is. Well my heart is split. My family and friends are in GA while my work and new friends (not to mention all my stuff) are here in TX. I have a dilemma. The Lord wants me here (the reasons are still being examined) so this is where I am. It's foolish of me to live and anticipate exclusively for my next visit home. That can lead to a sad and lonely stretch of months with only a couple of days to be enjoyed. Is it worth it?
I say I can keep part of my heart, and subsequent home, in GA and learn to love TX (or wherever I may go) and start another home here.
