(2006-09-26) — The morning after Fox News aired reporter Chris Wallace’s interview with a feisty Bill Clinton, the former president today said, “Right-wing, neocon conspiracy theorists are out to get me.”
Mr. Clinton dismissed allegations that he appeared paranoid on TV, saying, “people who call me paranoid are the exact same right-wingers, who worked behind the scenes with Chris Wallace to engineer my emotional outburst. It’s what they call a ‘wag the finger’ strategy to distract attention from the Bush administration’s foreign policy failures.”
The remark follows Mr. Clinton’s vigorous defense of his administration’s virtual assassination of al Qaeda leader Usama Bin Laden. Indeed, a spokesman for Mr. Bin Laden confirmed that during the Clinton administration, the al Qaeda leader felt “nearly threatened.”
The recent ABC miniseries The Path to 9/11, a new book called “The Looming Tower,” and Mr. Wallace’s smirking during the interview provide more evidence, he said, of the “conservative hit job” orchestrated by White House adviser Karl Rove.
Experts agreed that the most important question raised by the Wallace-Clinton interview is whether the former president’s frequent references to a book on 9/11 by former counterterrorism expert Richard Clarke can push its sales past the Noam Chomsky book recommended last week by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez at the United Nations.

Imagine the angry, blaming, finger pointing, scowling tirade that followed when Hillary realized what a fool Bill had made of himself on national television. If there is one man in this country who has never behaved as a true statesman, his name is William Jefferson “Everything is ALL ABOUT ME and all my mistakes are the fault of the VRWC and necons” Clinton. The man does not possess a single cell that speaks to personal responsibility, and hates the fact that this country has figured him out and judged his legacy accordingly, including Richard Clark, the author of a book Clinton has obviously not read.

I know Rush Limbaugh has been dying to get on the air since 9:15 a.m. EDT yesterday morning. This time Clinton’s on his own, and the media attempts to cover for him are blowing up in their faces. Facts can be so inconvenient when trying to forge a legacy.

I always thought Bill Clinton was corrupt and evil, but never an idiot. This whole fiasco is beginning to change my mind.
11 onlineanalyst // Sep 25, 2006 at 11:16 am
Typically of the man who found myriad ways to parse the word is, Clinton cited the authority of Clarke’s book eleven times to justify his own behavior (or lack of it).
The fact of the matter is that the Bush administration’s focus shifted to state sponsors of terrorism rather than on one man, Bin Laden, according to this observation by Andy McCarthy at “The Corner”:
Clarke argues that after Bush became president, the counterterrorism focus — to the extent Clarke allows that there was one — shifted from al Qaeda to state sponsorship of terrorism. The contention among some Bushies who were involved in policy-making was that the Clinton administration had homed in too much on bin Laden and not enough on the governments (Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Sudan, etc.) that were making it possible for bin Laden to be effective.
Clinton, I believe, is spinning this to mean he was criticized for paying too much attention to bin Laden. But in point of fact, it’s (a) a distortion of the nature of the criticism, and (b) it’s not a criticism that was made — as Clinton suggests — at the time Clinton was president.
Good grief! Clinton acts as if intel had it wrong when the spy agencies said that he would be in the twin towers the day that BushCo orchestrated the air show on 9/11 (if the Outerlimits Lefties are to be credited with their own conspiracy theories). Always playing the innocent victim of grand right-wing conspiracies, Clinton could have been a two-fer for the Bushies if that were so.
The Clinton intimidating pointing finger grinds me as much as do the same body-language posturing by Kerry and Kennedy. The technique must be learned in Democrat Demogoguery 101.
12 Shelly // Sep 25, 2006 at 11:20 am
I didn’t mean to leave out Hugh Hewitt:
“Seriously, I watched with my mouth agape. The thing I don’t get is why Clinton doesn’t understand that his legacy is out of his control. I know the truth bothers him. He and Bush 41 are destined to go down in history as the two presidents who served between Reagan and Bush 43. He and Bush 41 will be the ones that 23rd century school-children will have trouble remembering when they get a pop quiz demanding they list all the presidents.
But not to worry, President Clinton. The kids will develop a shorthand. They’ll remember Bush 41 as the guy with almost the same name as the famous Bush, and they’ll remember you as the one who used the Oval Office as a duck blind for hunting zaftig Valley Girls. As to how they’ll recall who was the one-term president and who was the two-term president, I have no idea.
Anyway, my point is that regarding his legacy, Clinton should try to summon at least a modicum of dignity and modesty. Alas, such qualities have never been his strong suit.”

I’m sure John Kerry will pop up like a bad case of acne an opine about the day the “vast right-wing conspiracy” rose up and accused Clinton of “spending too much time looking for bin Laden.” It was a day that was seared, seared, seared into his brain.

Re Afghanistan (since the subject came up): I had read some weeks ago (at “The Corner, I think) that a solution for the flare-ups of violence in that country are related to tribal warfare connected with the government crackdown on the illegal opium trade. The solution offered at the column was that the Afghanistan government could squelch the volatile situation among the poverty-stricken opium growers who have no other means of subsistence by buying the opium itself. The opiates could then be sold to the world market badly in need of the drug for legitimate medical purposes. The solution seems like a win-win, giving the farmers a means of making a living in a land apparently quite barren; taking away the power from drug lords in encouraging war-lord squabbles and in-country terrorist subversion; and undercut the funding of worldwide terrorism.
In other words, maybe Afghanistan should be directing its efforts to protecting opium growers who cooperate with the government in providing a legitimate use for their product. Tribal leaders might work more closely with coalition forces if their livelihoods are perceived to be protected.

MEL GIBSON BLASTS IRAQ WAR, SAYS AMERICAN CIVILIZATION ON DECLINE
After painting Mel Gibson as a reich-wing anti-Semitic drunkard, I wonder how the left-wing anti-war crowd is going to spin this.
This may be another case where the far-right and the far-left meet on the Mobius Strip of extremism. It will be interesting to see the radical left try and kiss up to Gibson. I’ve lost all respect for Mel Gibson, the man has no consistent worldview and may actually be one of those “conservative” fair-weather patriots. I guess his role in the The Patriot was indeed mere acting.*
*If readers remember, Mr. Gibson’s character was opposed to the Revolutionary War having previously experienced the horror of war in the French-Indian War. But on the basis of liberty and justice for all he eventually volunteered his services to the cause of the American revolution…of course it helped that his son was murdered in cold blood before his eyes having naively believed the colonists merely needed to be reasonable with tyrants and their lackeys and they would be left alone. Sound familiar?

OK, if we’re gonna go all off-topic here, I have another item from NRO’s “The Corner” that is worth reading. It concerns the controversial remarks by Pope Benedict XVI: Submit or Die by Cliff May.
Iraqi insurgents — some Europeans admiringly call them “the resistance†— posted on the Internet a video of a scimitar, a symbol of Islam, slicing a cross in half. It would be a stretch to interpret this as a plea for interfaith understanding.

Hank re: #26: I used to be an entertainment journalist of sorts (”of sorts” means I worked for a crappy magazine that no longer exists and which could only get its writers invited to press days by writing fluff pieces about crappy movies).
One of my assignments was to interview Mr. Gibson and the other people involved in The Patriot. I remember thinking after the interview that he was exactly the sort of guy I used to see in my construction days that would hang around the job site trying to earn enough money for that day’s meth. The sort who’d make you think twice about leaving your tools lying around. He was shifty and anxious (he doesn’t look journalists in the eye…he mostly stares at his own hands when he answers you) and he was remarkably well-insulated by his PR people…more so than most stars.
Of course he’s also a superstar and an leading man on a press day can give upward of forty interviews, so I suppose he deserves a little slack. But even taking all that into account, he seemed like an odd little fellow. He definitely marches to his own drummer.

No pity for Bill C huh? After all, he was really, really, really after Usama, he was just doing it low-key so the intended prey would never see the Death Swoop of Democracy (DSD) to be rained down on his head by Bill just as soon as he had Usama triangulated in his sights!
Then that damn Gorelick chick (nice legs though) wrote that memo and the DSD couldn’t be done. Bill was patient though, and on a tip ($250k from an unnamed source) the DSD was launched into the Sudan to get Usama, take out WMDs and wrap it all up! Bill didn’t know his friend and donors…er supporters had moved their embassy and Joe Wilson’s CIA contact failed to pass the word along, well, oops!
It just goes to show you that no matter how hard you try, you just cannot depend on anyone in the MSM to just ask the simple questions about the whole affair (no, not Monica, that was not an affair, I mean for it to be an affair, both people have to have some emotional involvment and God knows Bill has never loved anyone but Bill.. So how could anyone doubt him? That vast RWC said they supported him, but Karl Rove had them fooled with mind control he learned from the Soviets, they really didn’t want Usama’s head, it was all a lie. Honest! Sandy Berger woulda got the proof from the National Archives, but an EEO hire misfiled them. But honest, Bill tried to get Usama every chance he had Chris, that finger in your face was on the button probably 20-30 times for Usama, but you know that Bush hid him in Crawford because he knew Texas was a big state with a lotta hiding places, close to the border too, so he could hide in Mexico and claim asylum if anyone woulda found him. Sigh, it was just one simple question, but you have to remember, all a liar has to do is remember his lies, looks like even Bill the Smartest President We Ever Had (BSPWEH) couldn’t do it to save his legacy…he has no soul.

Hey Wingnuts,
Did you all see “Mr. Conservative: Goldwater on Goldwater” (HBO)?
. . . while my grandfather didn’t leave his party, his party has left him. Though he’s often depicted as the father of conservatism, Barry Goldwater would be considered a moderate today. He was firmly pro-choice, a supporter of gay rights and, in his later years, said that he thought it was okay for gays to serve in the military.
Fundamentally, it’s clear that Barry would not have been comfortable with the increasing influence of the Christian right over the GOP. My grandfather would have been appalled by the whole political grandstanding of the Terri Schiavo mess. C.C. Goldwater
Have fun now Scrapples, because mid-terms are almost here. Democrats will explain American Government to Dumbyah then maybe he tell you about it!

Just look at the fundraising statistics. The richest of the rich (that evil 1% that the Dems love to deride) are now donating to the the Democrat party and the lower income producers are donating twice the amount to the Republican party. Why…I believe we might call that “flip-flopping”.
You might want to read: Off The Record: The Private Papers of Harry S. Truman. You would drop your teeth and probably cry a few crocodile tears, because with Bush, it is Deja Vu all over again. Oh, yes…and guess which book Bush has listed as one of his favorites.

On this occasion, HotPink’s drive-by belch/harangue touts HBOâ„¢ tales about a deceased Republican senator and one-time presidential nominee who went soft in the head the longer he lived and the longer he was out of D.C. politics. Like, profound. [Yawn]
Goldwater’s proclamations, made in his dotage, don’t matter. It was his ideas, formed in his pre-soft-in-the-head days, which fueled the Reagan Revolution. This escapes mention in HotPink’s inconsequential yammer, a tiresome m. o. developed over a lifetime of nonserious thought, compliments of his doctorate in Screedology.

JCM,
Don’t take my word for it, read this UCLA Report about the documented liberal tilt of the lamestream media.
To the trolls,
Despite how those on your side of the aisle are impressed with Clinton’s embarassing meltdown, most informed and rational Americans see Clinton’s conspiracy laden rant as beneath the dignity of a former President. Good grief, if you people can sit and watch the whole thing and not come away with the sentiment that Clinton came unhinged, then there is no way that you can possible have anything approaching an objective view of reality. Go back to swilling your kool-aid and jumping off cliffs like lemmings because Clinton is leading the way RIGHT BEFORE THE ELECTIONS!
Look, I’ve come to expect liberals to spin and lie about everything in hopes of blowing enough smoke to get ill-informed Americans to doubt what this administration is doing with respect to the war on jihadism. But when the movers and shakers of the DemDonk Party start believing their own lies … that is truly a pathetic state of affairs.
Despite the fact that the anti-war left have lied about everything from the fraudulent Bush TANG memos, to the Niger yellowcake episode fanned by the liar Joe Wilson, to the ridiculous parsing of the Downing Street Memos, to the outright lie about there being no WMD in Iraq when over 500 have been found in Iraq to date, to their blind support of Clinton lies spewed at Chris Wallace at FOX, and now this NIE Report, it becomes increasingly obvious they have become completely numb to their own historical revisionisms and warping of facts to validate their hate-Bush pathology. I can’t wait for the radical left’s house of cards to come tumbling down and see a significant number of them getting therapy like many leftist did after coming down with the Post-Election Selection Trauma (PEST).
Even if conservative/Republicans were to lose in 2006 and 2008 - which we aren’t - we are made of much sterner stuff and have a firmer grasp of reality to suffer such psychosis.

Ma’am, before I go to remarks by my brother President Musharraf, terrorism was hurting us way before Iraq or September 11th. The President mentioned some examples of it. These extremist forces were killing people in Afghanistan and around for years, closing schools, burning mosques, killing children, uprooting vineyards, with vine trees, grapes hanging on them, forcing populations to poverty and misery.
They came to America on September 11th, but they were attacking you before September 11th in other parts of the world. We are a witness in Afghanistan to what they are and how they can hurt. You are a witness in New York. Do you forget people jumping off the 80th floor or 70th floor when the planes hit them? Can you imagine what it will be for a man or a woman to jump off that high? Who did that? And where are they now? And how do we fight them, how do we get rid of them, other than going after them? Should we wait for them to come and kill us again? That’s why we need more action around the world, in Afghanistan and elsewhere, to get them defeated — extremism, their allies, terrorists and the like.

#83 Thomas Crown - Are you KIDDING? Have you EVER had American history? Haven’t you EVER heard the word ‘isolationism’ included with the party ‘Democrat’ regarding the wars? Well how about this:
For example, in the 1964 presidential election Americans overwhelmingly voted for Lyndon Baines Johnson. He campaigned as a moderate peace candidate and portrayed Goldwater as an extremist war candidate. Johnson ended up greatly expanding the American commitment to Vietnam, with some 500,000 troops sent to Southeast Asia. He left office in 1969 as one of the most hated men in America. He wouldn’t even attempt to run for reelection.
Woodrow Wilson won reelection in 1916 on a platform that bragged that he had kept the United States out of war and kept the nation prosperous. Five months after the election, the nation was in World War I. By the end of Wilson’s second term, the nation was in the midst of a depression.
Franklin Roosevelt, at the outbreak of World War II in September 1939, said the United States must be neutral. One year later, campaigning for a third term, he pledged that American boys wouldn’t be sent to Europe to fight in World War II. (fff.org)

One of the very few and brave ones, camojack. The exception still doesn’t prove the rule. Muslims must prove en masse that they reject the jihadist mentality of their Islamic brethren.
I would be a fool to suggest that not a single Muslim (and most “Muslims” who have been publicly critical of the Islamic regimes and jihadism have for all practical purposes been “secularized Muslims) has echoed western perspectives and values in the war on jihadism. But my point still stands, THE MUSLIM WORLD has yet to take a firm stand against Muslim terrorism, except when it threatens their various Muslim thugocracies. When will “moderate” Muslims firmly deal with those who are said to be “hijacking their religion”? Show me.

Since the NIE Report has now been declassified and released, it’s becoming increasingly obvious the New York Times, Washinton Post and LA Times has lied to the American people with their simultaneous release of the leak … again.
Obviously the editors at the rags either got a bad leak or the editors simply didn’t care and were more interested in spinning the news and deceiving the American people in their partisan attempt to undermine the Bush Administration. Obviously the leaker and the NYT editors hadn’t counted on the Bush Administration to declassify the NIE Report in response to the serial lies and out-of-context conclusions that the left were glomming on to.
Also, as Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit noted, after reviewing some of the declassified portions of the report, if this is what passes for “intelligence analysis” this country is in a world of hurt.
Regarding the NIE Release John Podhoretz reminded the editors at the NYT:
The rule of thumb I was taught many years ago during a stint as a researcher and later an editor of investigative journalism pieces is that a newspaper’s guarantee of confidentiality to a source is not unconditional. If the source lies to you or uses you for his own personal motives, then you are released from the pact. This is a necessary codicil to the guarantee of confidentiality, because it’s the only thing that can keep a source honest. A question for the New York Times, the Washington Post and the L.A. Times, recipients of the simultaneous leak about the National Intelligence Estimate: If the declassified version to be released today reveals that you were deceived about the contents, tone and interpretation in the NIE, will you reveal who leaked the information?

What would it look like if the right wing made up stories like the left does? Here are a few examples, feel free to make up more!
RAM News: It was revealed today that the United States in fact, DID make up the moon landing in 1969!
It was orchestrated by Ted Kennedy, so his brother, JFK’s prediction to put a man on the moon and bring him back safely before the end of the decade!
Ted had to kill, and threaten to kill, many people since 1969 to keep this a secret.
As a result of these murders, Ted will be offered a spot in Hillary’s cabinet if elected. Hillary already has a big list of enemies who “need killin’”!
Story two:
The cause of the spinach laced ecoli outbreak has been traced to a group of Mexican “home grown” terror—-whoops,—sorry, freedom fighters, who have been working as farm workers. This is being kept quiet, and they are being kept at the home of Art Torres’s, (the California Democratic Chairman) house until after the 2008 election, so as to not cause anything to be done to the other poor innocent undocumented workers.
Story three:
Bill Clinton filed suit in New York court today against Steve Martin for his movie, “The Jerk”. Clinton claims the story was a little too close to his life to be simply a coincidence.
Clinton said, “I was the one who was born a poor black child, —-out of wedlock, I might add. I was the one who discovered my “special purpose” for a carnival girl. And when Martin was being sued for his invention, and was picking up things and taking them with him, was reminiscent of when Hillary and I left the Arkansas Governors Mansion and later the White House!”
After hearing of this suit, Hillary is preparing a suit against a certain character in “The Wizard of Oz”.

DEMOCRATIC PARTY BROUGHT DOWN TWIN TOWERS
AP - New York
A highly-placed government source which requested anonymity for fear of Democratic reprisals recently revealed the contents of a secret report that it was the Democratic National Committee which had contracted with 19 Muslim jihadists seeking their 72 virgins to ram the Twin Towers in hopes of embarassing the Bush Administration. It was hoped this would lead to a Democratic presidential victory in 2004, particularly since George W. Bush “stole the 2000 elections.” The original contract was amended to included the Pentagon since Usama bin Laden necessitated that a military target be also hit. It is reported Democrats complied with the additional request given their own loathing of the U.S. military.
Secret documents reveal that in anticipation of President Clinton being out of office after serving eight years as well as the perceived necessity for payback for Republicans impeaching Bill Clinton, the last two years of Clinton’s presidency was spent by Democrats in secretly contracting for the placing of demolition charges in the two towers of the World Trade Center. This view is further bolstered by the Democrats’ well known hatred of Big Business, filthy rich investment firms, and multi-national corporations which were housed in the Twin Towers.
So far the only response from the Democratic leadership has been the predictable denials, yet they’ve offered no proof that at the highest levels of their leadership there wasn’t a plan to embarass the Bush Administration with “a really big one.”
At this point there is no irrefutable proof available which connects other Bill or Hillary Clinton to this traitorous conspiracy against the people of the United States.

Please tell me #110 is satirical. Please?
If we’re going to put ourselves in the shoes of mainstream media types (my favorite was Dr. Seuss) how about this?
Terrorism and additional anti-U.S. sentiments have increased rapidly around the world as Democratic leaders have continuously disparaged the U.S. and insulted and condemned U.S. troops serving in dangerous missions overseas. They mock proud banners that say “Mission Accomplished,” and prove that they have no demonstrable ability to distinguish between “mission” and “war,” further lowering the view of U.S. military personnel around the world, including those serving in dangerous places. This leads to increased casualties which Democrats then blame on President Bush while quietly celebrating the unspeakable harm they are doing to the citizens of their own country, and the bravest of the brave who are definding their rights to free speech, which they routinely confuse with a right to commit treason.

the big talking sycophants won’t shut up, fewer flags are waving at Baghdad’s suburban parades and devotees of history’s most heartfelt presidential boob still struggle with a fading cause but remain unattracted to the corner recruting office.
History is panting to get it all down.

Thank you for your kind words, boberinagain. From my point of view you aren’t very tolerant of any other opinion but your own. You demonstrate that trait every time you wrangle with virtually every other Scrappler here. We’ve been very tolerant of you by tirelessly supplying links and reasoned counter-arguments. Is this not so? Is your measure of “tolerance” trying to force other people to agree with you? It appears so. Å“[(~;]

Muslims believe that during Ramadan, the revelation of the Qur’an to the Prophet Muhammad began. The entire month is spent fasting from dawn to dusk. It is considered the most venerated, blessed and holiest month. Prayers, fasting, self-accountability and charity have special association with Ramadan.
After dusk and getting a full belly, though, that’s it’s all about “carbecues” and stuff.

In a related vein, there’s an interesting column in the L. A. Times today by Max Boot.
A snippet: “Where are the demonstrations in the Muslim street when the president of Iran denies the Holocaust and calls for the destruction of Israel? Or when Palestinian kidnappers force two Western journalists to convert to Islam at gunpoint? Or when Sunni terrorists in Iraq bomb Shiite mosques and slaughter hundreds of worshipers?”

Red Pepper, yes I read the whole thing but I am still confused (a perpetual state for me). The computer expert of the family is gone to Houston for the week and so I thought that I would hit him up when he returns. Thanks for asking.
J. Cougar: Just talked with my folks and they said to tell you that the first and foremost thing that you have to know is that the problem with pick pockets is overwhelming in Prague. They said that they met many, many tourists who had lost thousands and thousands of dollars plus items.
Dad kept his camera around his neck and used a safety pin, pinned from inside his shirt and trousers to pin his pockets shut. He put his money in a money belt. Mom did not carry her purse and used safety pins as well. They didn’t have anything taken except on the train, Dad had used a fanny pack to run through his suitcase and carryon bag so that they would stay together and someone lifted the fanny pack right there while they were standing next to the luggage! Dad said that he would have loved to have seen their face when they opened it and found it to be full of vitamins, a map and a newspaper clipping.
He met one man who had put his wallet in the inside of his jacket and four men got onto the train and “accidentally” bumped into him. When he got off of the train, he realized that his wallet was gone, with ALL of his money, credit cards, etc. So, just thought that I would warn you. My parents said that they would email me some interesting places.

RIGHTWING NEWS, INK
(9.27.06) Cleveland’s leaders were disappointed today after learning St. Paul will get the 2008 Republican convention.
Many top ranking city leaders are shocked, even though only about 25 Republicans still live in the city.
“They know we are the poorest city in America and the Republicans owe it to our community to come here and spend the roughly 100 million dollars a convention usually generates,” a city leader said.
According to a recently released CIA memo, not spending hard earned money on people who never work will only create more Democrats.
“We’ll show a thing or two. Keep their money in Minnesota and we just may try and convert those last 25 Republicans to Democrats,” the leader said at a rather quickly called press conference.
It was reported the same officials were on their knees begging the Democrats to bring a convention, any convention to town.
The last industry created in Cleveland was in 1952 when a man tried to make something out of nothing.
The company is still in existence today.

Get a load of this study posted at Michelle Malkin’s site.
Excerpt:
“While some of my colleagues think my research reinforces the stereotype of repressed, uptight conservatives, it also shows that many liberals may he hanging on the edge of mental well-being,” Mr. Bulkeley said. “There may be a lot of hidden distress and unpleasantness in the liberal mind.”
I always though liberals were a little unhinged anyway, living in their ivory towers, so I’m not surprised by this study.
Michelle had a few observations of her own:
As in real life, it seems some liberals think President Bush and patriotism are greater threats than jihadists and terrorism:
The study includes some of the dreams recounted by liberals, such as the following nightmare: “I was at a presidential rally where George W. Bush was speaking. There was so much red, white and blue. Bush speaks: ‘There are those who say that we are giving up our civil liberties. But I say, we should be proud to sacrifice our freedoms for America!’ The crowd went wild, clapping, cheering and waving flags. I awoke in a cold sweat.”
This moonbat believes he/she was at the equivalent of a Hitler rally at Nuremburg. Clearly they took it seriously! Buwahahahahaha! Talk about twisted people.

The Conspiracy World of Liberals:
Wake up in the morning after horrible nightmares: Rovian Mind Control machine is disrupting sleep.
Take shower Another reich-wing conspiracy to enrichen filthy rich utilities by constant social pressure to smell and look nice.
Get morning newspaper Forced to read right-wing news propaganda since all newspapers and electronic news media outlets are owned by conservative fat cats of the vast right-wing conspiracy.
Eat breakfast Another right-wing conspiracy designed to clog your arteries with evil cholestrol and make you die young so that you can’t collect Social Security.
Get in car and start it A car you are forced to use because your neighborhood doesn’t have a bus service. Just another way to enrichen Big Detroit and to burn more fossil fuels to pollute the pristine environment. Man it’s bad being an innocent victim of right-wing “normalcy” and the pressure to have a job.
Fill up at the gas station Another example of the vast right-wing conspiracy. High gas prices reflect Big Oil attempts to rape the American consumer and impoverish the poor even further and lower gas prices reflect a cynical attempt by the Bu$Hitler/Halliburton/RoveHimmler/Exxon regime to influence the November elections.
Travel to work Where you’re never paid what you’re worth because evil conservative upper level management sees you as a mere cog in the evil Bush military industrial complex.
Go to lunch Burn more gasoline and pollute the environment. And if I bring a bag lunch, I’m polluting the environment with plastic sandwich bags that I buy at overpriced supermarkets run by fat cat conservatives.
Go home to watch the evening news and visit my favorite progressive blogsites Find out that America is in Iraq because of a Zionist Jooooo conspiracy which has America fighting Israel’s war against Arabs. Also it’s all about oil.
Sun sets and must turn on lights Another example of a Divine Conspiracy which has created a reality that forces sensitive, progressive-minded people to use artificial lighting which enrichens the coffers of Big Electrical Utilities as well as burn more fossil fuels which then further pollutes our pristine world with evil greenhouse gasses.
Go to sleep and dream Begin thinking that maybe wearing a tinfoil hat while sleeping might help with the nightmares of jackbooted thugs knocking on my door for speaking out against Bu$Hitler’s illegal and immoral war against me!

Clinton’s little flare-up has sparked a renewed interest in the phenomenon known as spontaneous human combustion (SHC):
“…in which people burn for no apparent reason. Cases of spontaneous human combustion have been documented since the 1400s. The classic profile of the victim is an overweight, older, single, alcoholic woman, who is a smoker. Usually only a small pile of ashes remains with one or two extremities, such as a leg from the knee down. If the head remains it may be “shrunken” down to the size of an orange.”

“The speech, 20:31 in length, is titled: “Come to a Word that is Just Between Us and You,†which is taken from the Qur’an, Surah al-Imran, verse 64. On the occasion of the month of Ramadan, al-Muhajir calls upon every “free Mujahid†to come to Iraq and engage in jihad, which the emir hopes to increase in ferocity. He states: “It pleases me at the end of my speech to announce the beginning of a great militaristic campaign by the name of the clear conquest, by it we will eradicate the limb of the infidel and the apostateâ€. In the middle of the speech, Abu Hamza al-Muhajir reminds of the “Blind Sheikh,†Omar Abdul Rahman, and encourages the Mujahideen to capture some of the “Roman dogs†so as to secure his release from the “darkness of his prison, gratitude, loyalty and love.†He then calls upon the sheikhs of the Sunni tribes in Iraq to not slacken in their support for the Mujahideen and thanks them for their public stance, finance and men.”

Back to the apple butter. I agree with c.a.t., it is the apples that makes a difference. I am lucky that a large orchard is about 25 miles to the south is available that is a haven for applers such as I.
Now, granted there are numerous orchards within a few miles, but they do not have the options Sunny Slope has and that is the ability to buy seconds for cooking. The other orchards turn the apples with scabs into cider.
This orchard has about a dozen different types of apples and you can dig through the barrels of seconds and bag them yourself. But, if you think a little mark on the apple is not to your liking you can go inside and by Grade A apples at a higher price.
My only difficulty is finding friends with a sense of adventure and determination. It takes one to muster a lot of courage to go down to Amish country, after all you may get a little horse puckey on your shoes.

My poor brain is rather foggy today so allow me the time to rewrite the first paragraph.
Thank you
I am fortunate that a large orchard lies about 25 miles to the south that is a haven for applers such as I.

Has anyone else notice that in anticipation of the Islamic celebration of Ramadan that radically devout Muslims are engaging in an orgy of murder and pyrotechnic displays even between the different sects?
Ah, the religion of peace is once more setting new standards for holyday celebration. Allah Akbar!

Sensationalists are saying this morning that the director of Human Resources at the Washinton Times has been arrested in a sex case involving a 13-year-old girl.
And may he get what he richly deserves whether Democrat or Republican. The death penalty would be too kind. Of course it goes without saying that the shameless advocacy group of man-boy “love”, NAMBLA, is a left-wing organization whose membership is exclusively liberal Democrats who voted for Al Gore and John Kerry.
Right now NAMBLA is being defended by the liberal ACLU. Taste some of your own guilt-by-political-association medicine, Crown. Liberal progressives know no shame. Who would have thought thirty years ago that liberals today would be advocating homosexual “marriages”, right? Slippery slope and all that, sir.

I want to see Clinton try to intimidate somebody his own size…. say, Bill O’Reilly?
We know Clinton’s a real tough guy, having given at least one of his victims a fat lip, but I bet O’Reilly might just make him think twice about poking a bony finger on his leg. I’d like to see BJ picking himself up off the floor.

Clinton’s seeming ‘accusation’ of Bush is actually propaganda to reinforce Bush’s official line that 9/11 was executed solely by islamic radicals, orchestated by the ignis fatuus “bin Laden.” Clinton’s reinforcement is desperate damage-control for Bush as the world’s credence in the official 9/11 story crumbles like the WTC.
In his ‘accusation,’ Clinton boasts of his plans to invade Afghanistan. But he’s cautiously mum on his involvemen in planning the invasion of Iraq - since that invasion is now widely recognized as a “failure.” Indeed, the “Iraq Liberation Act of 1998,” and Clinton’s signing of Public Law 105-235, authorized miltary action against Iraq on pretexts as hollow as the “incubator baby” yarn used by Bush Sr. in 1990. Notably, Clinton’s 1998 pretexts included not the slightest
inference that Saddam had ties to jihadist groups. It was too well-known that the opposite was true - that Saddam brutally
suppressed the jihadists. One of Clinton’s pretexts was just that - Saddam’s brutal repression of his own people. So, in 1998, it
would have looked entirely too comical if Clinton and Congress inferred that Saddam had ties to those he was brutally suppressing.
By April 2003, however - with Bush - no pretext was too comical to manufacture.
Clinton bombed Iraq weekly. His bombing of, and brutal sanctions against, totally innocent Iraqis were uniquely, doubly successful in that they strengthened both Saddam and the jihad. Clinton should boast of that ingenious success.
Also in his ‘accusation,’ Clinton invokes the bombing of the USS Cole, as though it were something hallowed to him. Of course, no mention that FBI agent John O’Neill’s efforts at deep investigation of the Cole bombing were blocked at every turn, and O’Neill roundly ostracized. And later offered an attractive job with office in the WTC.
Clinton also fails to mention that the bombing of two U.S. embassies in Africa by the e’er-evanescent “bin Laden”- conveniently happened within hours of the start of Monica Lewinsky’s testimony to Congress.
Yes, Clinton is coming to Bush’s rescue, just like he did for Papa Bush. During the 1992 presidential campaign, Iraqgate (how Papa Bush & German companies armed Saddam in violation of international law) was a huge scandal, fresh on peoples’s minds. Solution to problem? Clinton made a campaign promise to “get to the bottom” of Iraqgate
if elected. Post-election, Iraqgate was swept under the rug. The heroic Rep. Henry Gonzales continued to raise the Iraqgate issue until being sent a ‘message’ to silence him - his empty car was machine-gunned in front of his house.
Clinton to the rescue. His supposed “anger” in this latest diatribe is as genuine as his infamous ‘tears’ at Ron Brown’s funeral.
