SOTU Follow-up: Did Bush snub McKinney?

President Bush knocked it out of the ballpark tonight.
Others are doing some major-league live-blogging, so I'll leave the bulk of the commentary to them, but one thing did strike me.
President Bush appeared to have completely ignored "aisle-bird" Congresscritter Cynthia McKinney (Tin Foil-GA).
McKinney generally parks her ample butt along the center aisle hours prior to the State of the Union, or any other joint session of Congress where the President is slated to speak. She parks there in order to be certain to get her pearly whites on television while she shakes the President's hand.
Watching the President make his way down the aisle prior to the speech as well as back up the aisle afterward, I could see him stop to shake hands with Congresswoman Sheila Jackson-Lee (Moonbat-TX), but it looked like he completely ignored McKinney's presence.
I guess her "smile in your face, then stab you in the back" routine finally got old. It's about time.

I made sure to keep a close eye on that whole situation as well, and it definitely looks like he snubbed her as he entered (although the camera angle changed on CNN when he got to her part of the aisle).
It still seems pretty empty that she has to take the good seat to show off to the constituents, especially since it's just for a few seconds, and for the most part won't be acknowledged by the TV announcers.
And I'll say it again: It's too bad I got redistricted out of her domain just before I could vote against her in 2002.

UPN/Paramount finally kills off Star Trek Enterprise

The low-rated fifth series in the
Star Trek franchise,
Star Trek Enterprise will come to an end in May.
UPN and Viacom announced the decision today.
A number of changes had been made in the series ahead of this, the fourth season of the series, but the one thing that didn't change was the low ratings the series earned.
"Star Trek has been an important part of UPN's history, and Enterprise has carried on the tradition of its predecessors with great distinction," UPN Entertainment president Dawn Ostroff said. "We'd like to thank Rick Berman, Brannon Braga and an incredibly talented cast for creating an engaging, new dimension to the Star Trek universe on UPN, and we look forward to working with them, and our partners at Paramount Network Television, on a send-off that salutes its contributions to The Network and satisfies its loyal viewers."Paramount Network Television president David Stapf added, "The creators, stars and crew of Star Trek: Enterprise ambitiously and proudly upheld the fine traditions of the Star Trek franchise. We are grateful for their contributions to the legacy of Trek and commend them on completing nearly 100 exciting, dramatic and visually stunning episodes. All of us at Paramount warmly bid goodbye to Enterprise, and we all look forward to a new chapter of this enduring franchise in the future."
TrekToday sources report that CBS president Les Moonves himself yesterday reached the decision to pull the plug on Enterprise. Most Enterprise crew members only found out about their show's cancellation this morning.
The as-yet-untitled series finale (to be written by series
killers creators Rick Berman and Brannon Braga) will air on May 13.

Those idiots set themselves up for a fall. They knew full well that they were going to be cometing with the top show the genre has ever seen, and they had the whole fall run of the first half of the season before they decided to use the numbers for the spring, when it was competing with Stargate, to decide to cancel the show.
It's too bad that there's not likely to be even a possibility of another network picking it up, since Paramount owns the network and the show. They really did fix every problem in the show which I never considered to be major problems anyway, thereby making a good show absolutely great. I'm looking forward to the rest of the season, knowing that it will be some of the best Trek ever. It's too bad they won't be able to continue it any further.

Hey I guess the freak show is at the top of Paramount Television chain of command when it comes to grading a television. The premature ending of Enterprise will send stocks to Paramount to an all time low thus probably making UPN Entertainment president Dawn Ostroff looking for a new job like in advertising for toddler shoes.
This person who decided to kill Enterprise sounds like a low brow geek that haven't been properly potty trained and lacks the necessary skills to judge a caricature or a series like Enterprise.
I hope a syndication like the Science Fiction Network or SI FI network take up syndication for Enterprise and make UPN Entertainment president Dawn Ostroff look like a tree swinging buffoon who doesn't deserve a seat on the board to tell the general public what to watch.
Well to me if this program ends I hope the Board of Directors at UPN can over rule the person Dawn Ostroff and send this person into making commercials for the toddler shoe industry because to me this is were this person belongs.

I wish I felt worse about this. The fact is I've only got real loyalty for the show because it's part of the franchise. As much as I despise bashers who complained about it (unlike DS9 and Voyager before it), I didn't find much I could use to defend this one against their harangue.
The time-travel follies and the failure to fill in the gaps in canon hurt bad; network mismanagement was as awful as we've seen since TOS was canceled. Just about the only thing it had going for it was exploration of the old TOS races like the Andorians and Tellarites. The possibility we'd see the Romulan War and the foundation of the Federation played out was only just coming back into range of my hopes.
C'est la vie. Trash it - along with the morons who've run the franchise into the ground - and start again with something else, something new.

Hey, Maurice:
Two things. I'm a fan (as are most of my visitors; some more rabid than others). There's no need to insult fans.
Secondly, it's only a TV show. Get over it and go read a book. If the concepts of ST & SW bother you that much, go write your own books or make your own TV show.
Posted by: mhking at February 07, 2005 09:49 AM (CO/Uo)

I am not sorry to see this series go.
From the very start Enterprise has not followed the long established timelines and protocols (as STNG series & movies did not)set down by Stan & Fred Goldstein and approved by Gene Roddeenberry so long ago. The whole concept of Enterprise is wrong and too advanced compared to Kirk's Enterprise.
Why would a relatively primative race (humans)manage to solve problems that longer lived more intelligent and advanced species are not able to solve?
Intelligence is always better than brute force.
Personally I would have thought that the next logical series even before two other bad ones (DS9 & Voyager), should have been the adventures of Captain Sulu.
What was needed, was a new set of writers ones who did not rehash the worst original series scripts (and I can spot them as easily as any good TREKER can)
Let's just hope that Berman and Braga can get it right next time?
Not all blame should be heaped upon B&B, what bright spark at the network pits two science Fiction programmews against each other???
And why oh why put the series on on a friday evening, real people go out on the town on Friday and Sturday nights. Why do you think that Football and Hockey are on on Mondays?
So use some of the stuffing between your ears
programmes are best seen on Sunday's, Tuesdays, Wednesday's & Thursdays, and choose a time when other good series are not on so as not to compete,
and dont change the time and date from week to week, it's hard to follow a series when you dont know when it's going to be on, and dont show any repeates until all programmes in the series have been run once, There is nothing more annoying than having to watch repeats evey 6 weeks.
From what is read about network exec's you get the sense that programming is not that important.
Just the persuit of money at all costs.
Well am I right? if not say something, in fact voice your opinion loud and clear otherwise you will be stuck with "Reality" shows, Stupid Sit Coms, and Idol (IDLE) programmes for the rest of your viewing eternity

As even the Great Bird of the Galaxy would tell
you, from these ashes, a great new series will
emerge. "IDIC"...such is the diversity of life;
a fire will forever burn with the beliefs Gene
R. espoused. Thus, fans keep faith...and
keep watch. Even now there are new fires
burning! How could there not be???
Please advise.
thanks, so much, for allowing me to give
expression herein.
As in "TIN MAN" (STTNG), I have such a great
EMPATHY that not only could I relate to
The Star Trek Experience...I could work there!
So...my understanding is as follows...
No matter what 'kind' of series is on...
wherever (cable, satellite, et al) the
Truth of what Star Trek shares with all its
fans is this: Exploration. The more space/science
fiction teaches us about the Universe, it
teaches all of us about the universal potential
in each of us!
WE can grow, explore...learn..and thus
fulfill our lives, our dreams..for ourselves
and those around us.
Maybe this is a test of character for the
fans. If they see it so, then growth will
surely come.
And in the Industry of Paramount Television,
well,
all I can say is,
if they can't see all their inherent
possibilities...I'd be happy to Enlighten
them.
yours,
Dave S. (and 'Freya', the wonderful, black,
smart, lovie girl cat, 4.5 years and
very, very Empathic as well. Boy, does
that ever help. She always tells me the
Truth...sooooooooooooo good!).

I just watched the final episode of Enterprise. What a disappointment! Was this an episode about the NX-01 Enterprise or about William Ryker and Deanna Troi?
It did very little to bring closure to the series, and to the characters within the series. What of Archer's distiny? Why didn't Trip and T'Pol get [or stay] together? Did Hoshi return to Brazil? What of the Federation Charter.
I suppose we will be subjected to a slew of dime store novels speculating on the final outcome for each of the characters.
As for this sereies, Good Riddence! In my opinion, Rick Berman and Brandon Braga have sullied Gene Roddenberry's original vision. Majel Barrett and the Roddenberry family should disassociate the Roddenberry name from anything connected to the Enterprise series.

Hmmm. I am completely saddened by the fact that Star Trek is gone for what appears to be good..
I sit here wondering when the next realistic portrayal of Science Faction will be aired. Roddenberry was a thoughtful visionary, and while the ENTERPRISE show may not have been as good as the original or Voyager it was still better than one hundred percent of all other SciFi pretenders.
I suppose I can go back to carousing and cavorting on friday nights again..
But it will not be the same as the rare nights I sacrificed a show I truly loves to do it..
Please if anyone reads this that has any say in anything hurry up with whatever is next.

CNN honcho enjoys the taste of shoe leather

Eason Jordan, "head honcho what be's in charge" down inside the monolith known as CNN Center, suffered from major foot-in-mouth disease late last week, when he charged that US military forces in Iraq were purposefully targeting US journalists.
Jordan claimed that he personally knew of 12 journalists who had not only been killed by US troops in Iraq, but in fact had been targeted.
During one of the discussions about the number of journalists killed in the Iraq War, Eason Jordan asserted that he knew of 12 journalists who had not only been killed by US troops in Iraq, but they had in fact been targeted. He repeated the assertion a few times, which seemed to win favor in parts of the audience (the anti-US crowd) and cause great strain on others.Due to the nature of the forum, I was able to directly challenge Eason, asking if he had any objective and clear evidence to backup these claims, because if what he said was true, it would make Abu Ghraib look like a walk in the park. David Gergen was also clearly disturbed and shocked by the allegation that the U.S. would target journalists, foreign or U.S. He had always seen the U.S. military as the providers of safety and rescue for all reporters.
Eason seemed to backpedal quickly, but his initial statements were backed by other members of the audience (one in particular who represented a worldwide journalist group). The ensuing debate was (for lack of better words) a real "sh--storm". What intensified the problem was the fact that the session was a public forum being taped on camera, in front of an international crowd. The other looming shadow on what was going on was the presence of a U.S. Congressman and a U.S. Senator in the middle of some very serious accusations about the U.S. military.
Here's where it gets really bizarre -- the person who finally told Jordan to
put up or shut up during the ensuing verbal maelstrom was none other than -- get this -- Congresscritter Barney Frank (Boystown-MA)!
Of course the $64,000 question at this point is whether Jordan will be allowed to stay with CNN or not.
Considering that he has personal relationships with officials across the Middle East, and has been involved in making sure that CNN was front and center, head and shoulders above the other networks in the region in terms of trying to cover the news there, I wouldn't hold my breath.
But in any event, consider this more proof of the downfall of the traditional mainstream media, and more evidence of the rise of the new media. Because without blogs and the internet, this story would be quickly covered up and never see the light of day.

Blue-stained GOP fingers at the State of the Union?

Neal Boortz began his talk show this morning by extolling the virtues of a caller's suggestion: that the Republicans in the House Chamber all dip their fingers in blue ink, and show said ink-stained fingers in a "V For Victory" sign to President Bush during the SOTU speech tonight.
Neal indicated that he had called the office of Speaker of the House Denny Hastert and placed the suggestion in the hands of the powers that be on Capitol Hill.
This afternoon, Wizbang has word that other like-minded folk are thinking in the same vein (or inkwell, as the case may be).
Rep. Bobby Jindal is planning to demonstrate solidarity with Iraqi voters by dipping a finger in purple ink before President Bush (news - web sites)'s State of the Union speech Wednesday. In a letter to be circulated Wednesday among fellow lawmakers, Jindal, R-La., said he would have ink available for anyone attending the speech who wanted to make a gesture of support for Iraqis and "people throughout the world who seek freedom."
I wouldn't look for Ted "Jabba The Drunk" Kennedy, John "Ketchup Boy" Kerry, Nancy "Cruella DeVil" Pelosi or Barbara "Cryin' Woman" Boxer to have ink-stained fingers tonight.
But given her flip-flopping to the point of making herself physically ill this week, don't be surprised if Hillary "The Wicked Witch of Westchester" Clinton tried it. After all, she is still working on her transformation into a "more moderate" Presidential Candidate.

Crazy Al joining PETA to boycott KFC

Al Sharpton has made an eight-minute video for PETA, and is
calling for a boycott of KFC restaurants in conjunction with the animal rights group.
Mr. Sharpton is joining forces with the animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals to urge a boycott of KFC, which is owned by Yum Brands of Louisville, Ky. Mr. Sharpton and PETA want the fast food chain to require its chicken suppliers to put in place new standards for the treatment of the 750 million chickens they process for KFC every year in the United States. The rap mogul Russell Simmons is also joining the Sharpton campaign."If we give our money to KFC, we're paying for a life of misery for some of God's most helpless creatures," says Mr. Sharpton in an eight-minute video that will be shown outside KFC's around the country.
The organization was eager to enlist Mr. Sharpton because KFC has many stores in largely black neighborhoods and in late 2003 KFC executives told investors they were making an increased effort to market to blacks.
I wonder just how much they're paying Crazy Al not to eat at KFC (and to try to get the rest of us not to eat there).

I'd boycott KFC myself, but not because they abuse chickens, but because THEY DON'T USE CHIKENS!
I'm a Popeye's guy myself.
Too bad there ain't no franchise up here in Halifax.
Snide aside alert: Blacks boycotting chicken? Makes as much sense as Pinoys boycotting rice! (Google "Pinoy" if you wanna know, eh?)
Respect.

Why do you people even leave stupid comments if you don't give a damn about animals! KFC make their chickens so top heavy that their weight becomes too much for their tiny legs to handle so they break and the poor creatures spend their whole lives crippled and then end up on someones plate!! Eating meat is cruel i would never be able to put an animal in my mouth that's just plain gross, you people make me sick!

Cynthia 'Jihad Cindy' McKinney plans to get aisle seat for State of the Union

US Congresscritter Cynthia McKinney (Tin-Foil Wearing Moonbat-GA) plans to park her silly grin
along the center aisle of the House chamber hours before Wednesday night's State of the Union speech, as she has each year she's been in Congress.
This year she returns to the aisle after an absence of two years, thanks to her defeat by Denise Majette in 2002. Majette chose not to run for the 4th District seat, instead opting for a shot at the US Senate seat vacated by Zell Miller (Majette lost).
McKinney breaks her neck to get on that aisle so that she can be seen cheesing and kissing the President as he enters. Of course, that won't stop her from making idiotic statements, like the one in 2002 when she charged that President Bush knew about the 9/11 attacks in advance.
When President Bush walks through the doors of the House chamber Wednesday night to deliver the State of the Union address, the congresswoman again plans to be standing in his path, ready to shake his hand and smile for the cameras."I don't know that it's anything that's going to change public policy, but it certainly does make the constituents feel good to know I'm there and they can see me participate," McKinney, D-Ga., said Tuesday in an interview with The Associated Press.
At past Bush speeches, the exchange has been relatively playful, but this will be McKinney's first State of the Union since her radio comments in 2002 that the administration profited by the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and may have known ahead of time. Some interpreted the comments to indicate she thought Bush let the attacks happen so his friends could profit, but McKinney later insisted that wasn't the case.
She's an idiot. She's full of used food.
Doesn't look like anything's changed.

US GI hostage story and photo faked; MSM falls for it--again
Looks like this was a fake, now that we've seen the photo, and kudos are due to
A Small Victory,
Wizbang and
Free Republic for calling it.


It looks like this was a GI Joe-type doll on sale on the internet. Note the face, plus the gun and the fact that you don't see anyone's hands in the photo.
In addition, the Pentagon has verified that no soldiers are missing presently.
Score another one for the new media, as the MSM gets scammed again.

Iraqi terrorists claim to have US GI hostage, threaten beheading
A posting on a jihadist website claims that an Iraqi terrorist group is
holding a US soldier captive, and is threatening to decapitate him if male and female prisioners held in Iraq are not freed within 72 hours.
The posting, on a Web site that frequently carried militants' statements, included a photo of what appeared to be an American soldier in desert fatigues seated with his hands tied behind his back. A gun barrel was pointed at his head, and he is seated in front of a black banner emblazoned with the Islamic profession of faith, "There is no god but God and Muhammad is His prophet."A statement posted with the picture suggested the group was holding other soldiers.
"Our mujahadeen heroes of Iraq's Jihadi Battalion were able to capture American military man John Adam after killing a number of his comrades and capturing the rest," said the statement, signed by the "Mujahedeen Brigades."
"God willing, we will behead him if our female and male prisoners are not released from U.S. prisons within the maximum period of 72 hours from the time this statement has been released," the statement said.
The claim has not been formally verified yet.
UPDATE - 3P ET The Pentagon insists that no soldiers are missing, though this image, supposedly of a US soldier would otherwise disproove that notion.
I'll post video as soon as it's available.
UPDATE: I've got a link to the "fake GI" story here.

That link will bring up a picture of a doll produced by them. The most noticable things are the flak jacket, which has a piped outer layer which the US currently does not use, and as you can see the flak jacket matches the doll's exactly, as does the gun pointed at "captive's head". This is merely a kid playing a game.

P21: "Profiles of Empowerment"

A new Project 21 piece by Virgil Beato points out the successes of blacks today who do not wave the "Soul Patrol flag of whining" around like a badge of honor.
It points to successful blacks like Dr. Ben Carson, director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, Ann Marie Fudge, who is the president of ad firm Young & Rubicam, American Express CEO Kenneth Chenault, who helped the firm weather major losses of both life and property during 9/11, and former US Senate candidate and former Godfather's Pizza CEO Herman Cain.
These modern-day heroes also share strong family values. While the American Enterprise Institute estimates close to 70 percent of black children are now born to single mothers, these people have enjoyed long marriages and raised or are raising their children in stable homes with both parents present. These modern heroes also give back to their community. Cain, for example, an alumnus of the historically black Morehouse College, now serves on the school's board. Chenault serves on the board of CASA, a drug-use prevention group. Carson started the Carson Scholars Fund, Inc. to help Third-World schoolchildren stay academically competitive. Fudge is involved with the Partnership for a Drug Free America and the United Way.
Many high-profile black "leaders" such as Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson seem to regard capitalism as unfair to African-Americans. People such as Cain, Carson, Chenault, and Fudge show the American Dream can work for anyone with enough faith and determination.
But to the Jackson-Sharpton cabal, people like these are not worthy of acclaim, because they aren't on bended knee, whining about the state of black America. They have the "audacity" (I call it courage) to do something about it.
They are truly the leaders that black youth need to know about and seek to emulate.
The full P21 piece is available for your perusal below the fold...

The author of this piece is full of biased crap.
Why wasn't Earl Graves on the list? The man has headed up Black Enterprise for years. He used to be the only Black owner of a major soft drink bottling company.
The man pushes business ownership in the Black community. The man pushes self reliance. The man's magazine has the "Black Wealth Initiative".
And he gets no love?
Why is that?

NAACP refuses to cooperate with IRS request

The NAACP has formally notified the Internal Revenue Service that it
will not be cooperating with an IRS investigation regarding activities that might cost the civil rights organization their tax exempt status. The NAACP insists that the timing of the investigation is politically motivated.
In a letter to the IRS dated this past Thursday, the NAACP attorneys said they would not hand over documents the IRS has requested, and countered with charges that the IRS had not followed proper procedure by launching their investigation prior to the filing of the organization's 2004 tax return.
The letter said the tax examiners aimed to influence the group's activities just before the November presidential election."We must conclude that the intention was to chill appropriate voter registration and get-out-the-vote efforts, whether conducted by the NAACP or by other organizations that are targeted by similar examinations in the program," they wrote.
The NAACP said the IRS challenged as improper campaign intervention a Bond speech this summer because it condemned the president's policies on education, the economy and the war in Iraq.
The IRS has indicated that they are looking at 60 different non-profit organizations and churches to determine if they had violated federal rules prohibiting them from political campaign activity.
Bond had made speeches (including a major speech before the NAACP's National Convention last summer) that implied an endorsement of Democratic candidates over the Bush Administration. Bond has also made speeches denouncing the President and the Administration.
I made the statement nearly two years ago on MSNBC that Bond's statements and speeches had opened the door, and that it could potentially be bad for the organization. I'll repeat that here and now -- Bond's foot-in-mouth disease is what brought this on, and may cause the downfall of the entire organization. Unfortunately, if that does happen, I'll look for Bond and the rest of the Soul Patrol to immediately cry racism and try to blame conservatives in general and the Bush Administration in particular for this series of events.

Put Michael Jackson out of our misery! Please!

The circus that is the Michael Jackson child molestation trial gets underway with jury selection Monday morning. According to published reports, MJ has been ordered to be in court for the trial, which, undoubtedly will go on for months. It should provide plenty of fodder for CourtTV, Entertainment Tonight and the myriad of television analysts out there for the forseeable future.
CourtTV's Diane Dimond has found out some of the details regarding items confiscated from Jackson's Neverland Ranch during warranted searches.
One of the books confiscated from Jackson's home in 1993 is entitled "The Boy: A Photographic Essay." According to child erotica connoisseurs on the Internet, this rare book is considered to be "a homoerotic classic." The book, published in 1964, contains dozens of photographs of nude prepubescent boys, many in suggestive poses. There are nude boys captured outdoors, nude boys who appear to be posing for the camera, and boys displaying full frontal nudity.In addition to the book, CTV's I-Unit can confirm that investigators from the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department also confiscated loads of pornographic material from various locations in Jackson's home. Porn movies with titles like "Barely Legal" and "Pimp Up, Ho's Down" were taken from the entertainer's master bedroom. Pornographic materials were found in Jackson's master bathroom, his den and in a second-floor closet, as well.
Child porn. Plain and simple.
I have to echo my blog-sister Ambra.
For the love of the Lord crying out in the night...CONVICT Michael Jackson! Does God need to come down from the heavenlies in a burning bush and write it in neon letters for us all?They found child erotica? CHILD EROTICA?! It still amazes me that despite mounting evidence to the contrary, researchers in this country refuse to draw any type of correlation between pornography and child molestation.
Michael Jackson is obviously every bit the scum and predator that everyone is finally starting to see him as.
The thousands of screaming, crying fans are insisting that there is a gigantic conspiracy against him, but for what!?
Michael Jackson is an eccentric on the order of Howard Hughes, which means he's got more money than the rest of us. That should not exempt him from the law, and especially if his actions endanger children in any way, shape or form.
What do we need, a heavenly bolt of lightning to strike him down in the middle of our television screens? For the love of God, put this man away where he won't see the light of day!

Thank goodness someone else echoes my thoughts on MJ. He has just gotten weirder and weider over the years and finally has gone too far for me. Celebrity or not, he should be treated as any other person who is sick enough to commit this crime or heck any crime. I think its high time that celebrities shoul be held to the same standars as the rest of us..Great post.

AsI told my wife after the OJ trial, the issue in American justice is not if you're black or white, it's if you're poor or rich. I'm sure I couldn't have come out of Chappaquiddick as well as Teddy did, even though I'm white.

So whatever happened to innocent till proven guilty? What little deviant things do you do that you would like to have the PRESS convict you of. If he did these reprehensable things then fine, deball him. If he didn't then leave him be. YOU don't have the right to judge, or prejudge anyone. I'm sure from your comments you are close to pure!

Press knocks Cheney over warm dress for Auschwitz ceremony

See! The press
WANTS the Vice-President to
catch something and keel over!
Vice President Dick Cheney's utilitarian hooded parka and boots stood out amid the solemn formality of a ceremony commemorating the liberation of Nazi death camps, raising eyebrows among the fashion-conscious.Washington Post fashion writer Robin Givhan described Cheney's look at the deeply moving 60th anniversary service as "the kind of attire one typically wears to operate a snow blower."
I don't know about you, but I'd rather be warm and healthy in awful weather than look good and be 'bout ready to keel over.
20 people on The Dead Pool think Cheney will keel over anyway.

Are these critics the same lunatics who critized Cheney for taking a flu shot? At least until they discovered that Bill Clinton had taken one as well? If you have had heart problems, the only smart thing to do is protect yourself from the cold weather and try to prevent such problems as influenza!

Hey, that coat looks to be USAF standard issue, at least at Minot AFB. It's probably standard issue at all the northern tier bases.
It's not a fur trimmed coat. The white boarder and green inside is synthetic. It is a very good winter coat. It's kept me warm when the temperature plunges down to -30, with the wind chill pushes it into the -70 to -80's. The "fur" trim helps catch the wind on the hood and protect your face.

Budweiser's ad deemed too hot for the Super Bowl

Budweiser has
pulled a Bud Light ad from their Super Bowl lineup that would have spoofed last year's halftime "wardrobe malfunction" by Janet Jackson.
The ad featured a technician backstage who [spoiler deleted].
Anheuser-Busch (Research) pulled the ad after consultation with both the National Football League, which denounced last year's halftime show, and Fox, which is broadcasting this year's game Feb. 6."Why take the risk? All you need is one person to be offended," Bob Lachky, an Anheuser-Busch vice president, told the newspaper. "Some people don't want to be reminded of the incident."
Still, Budweiser hasn't stepped away from the commercial altogether. It has it posted on its Web site, under the heading "Exclusive, watch the ad you won't see during the big game."
Want to see the ad?

NYC actress smarts off at thug, gets killed

Logic dictates that you shouldn't argue -- let alone make a smart-assed crack - to a perp holding a gun on you, lest he
shoot you for the hell of it.
Nicole DuFresne, of Brooklyn, had just left a trendy bar with her fiancé and another couple when they were confronted at about 3:15 a.m. by four muggers — two men and two women — at the corner of Clinton and Rivington streets, police said.One of the thugs, who was carrying a gun, demanded money.
DuFresne's fiancé, Jeffrey Sparks, 28, not seeing the mugger had a gun and not taking the request seriously, tried to push past the man.
"At that point, using both hands, he hit me in the face with the gun," Sparks said.
The grieving fiancé said he and his friend, Scott Nath, started walking away, thinking the trouble would pass.
But as they did, the man tried to grab the purse of DuFresne's friend, actress and playwright Mary Jane Gibson. That's when DuFresne protested, telling the thug, "What are you trying to do? What are you going to do, shoot us?"
Ten seconds later, a shot rang out.
Sad. Senseless. Stupid.
The perp got away. 28 year-old DuFresne was prounounced dead at Manhattan's Beth Israel Hospital.

Given that the People's Republic of New York bans most guns, I am not surprised. If ONE of those 4 had had a 380 or 4" 45 in their pocket or holster, this might not have happened and you'd have had 4 dead goblins instead.
An armed society is a polite society!
But gun-grabbing leftists in NY would rather the innocents be threatened rather than allow them to defend themselves.

Don't try that sh-- in Florida...........the chick'll leave it right on her shoulder, spin that purse around, then shoot you right thru that expensive, Louis Vuitton purse.
If I don't blast your punk-ass first. Gotta love getting to fights with your girl over who gets to shoot the perp first.
"PAP-PAP!! Lights out, Mother Hubbard!!"
"Dammit, Beau!! My life was threatened, too!!""
"Angie........you too slow, Chile. I wanted get home so we can - never mind, let's go. The cops said we can leave. "
Welcome to the Gunshine State, where women are women - and the muggers are scared.

Hey guys,
Couldn't help but enter this fray here, speaking as a New Yorker, it's not clear whether the girl saw an actual gun or thought they were a couple of stupid kids goofing around. After a couple of drinks people tend to act differently too. Even if this girl had a gun what difference would it have made? They'd both be dead. Better a smart NY liberal then a braindead conservative anyday. Don't insult the victim when you don't know the facts behind the case moron. Billy

Right on Blue Shoes. Don't listen to these idiots. I think it's an awful tragedy and she seemed like such a bright, intelligent, talented person and people have no right to judge her actions when they don't know the full story behind what happened. That Beau guy was saying some pretty meaningless stuff and I just was putting him in his place, basically. I feel very bad for her family and her fiance and all those who knew her. I hang at Max Fish/LES all the time and I also live in Greenpoint so I was pretty bummed to see she lived right in my hood too. Anyway, I send my condolences to her family & fiance. Billy

Friend of Ronnie's? Yep. But not so "closeted"
Ned Rice at NRO
suggests that Republicans and conservatives trying to remain closeted refer to themselves as "Friends of Ronnie," as in former President Ronald Reagan.
It occurs to me that we Hollywood Republicans could save ourselves a lot of trouble by agreeing on some term with which to discreetly identify ourselves in public, much the same way gay men describe themselves as "Friends of Dorothy," or AA members call themselves "Friends of Bill W." I hereby propose that closeted conservatives, whether in Los Angeles or elsewhere, agree to refer to one another whenever discretion is necessary as "Friends of Ronnie," in honor of our 40th president.Imagine the wasted time and bad bean dip we could spare ourselves with a simple "Friend of Ronnie?" in place of the usual 45-minute dance around the buffet table trying to work "Milton Friedman" or "trust, but verify" into a remark about the weather. Not to mention the countless looks of horror from those who take our political beliefs to be not simply misguided, but actual evidence that we're evil. You know, the tolerant crowd.
Then, again, you can say f--- it, and sport one of my bumper stickers that say "Unapologetically Conservative," or "Black & Unapologetically Conservative."
And if you want one, you can go to my online shop (yes, this is a shameless plug).
I've got coffee mugs & t-shirts there as well. I'm looking at some other products over the next week or two to add to the shop, so if there's something you would like to see, let me know.

Life on the inside as an "Embed"

Houston radio talk show host
Edd Hendee (from KSEV/AM 700) is an "embed" with the US Marines in Iraq.
His tales are being chronicled on the excellent (and new member of my blogroll) Lone Star Times.
At 4:14 am my friend Baraka shook me awake – “We have casualties.” was his grim statement. Baraka is a reporter for WABC-7 New York. We met a week ago in Al Asad the first day in country and had become friends pretty fast. “I’ll meet you up on level 10.” he said as he rushed out of the room.
I threw on my clothes and grabbed my Bible – and began to pray for these fine men.
The hospital is right up on the roof – about 100 yds. from the helo pad. The area outside the doors was filled with quiet Marines listening to the Navy Corpsmen inside shouting instructions as they prepared the wounded for transport. One look at their faces told the story – this wasn’t routine.
I knelt to pray outside the door for these guys and their families. The thump-thump-thump of the inbound Blackhawk Med Evac helo was a comfort and promise of the best medical support in the world. But it was also a signal to immediately get ready to transport.
Tuesday had been an amazing day. We did 3 hours of broadcast beginning with a 6am Texas time (1500 Iraq) broadcast to KMSR in Dallas and then 2 hours back to Houston. We lined up Marines from their respective cities and hooked up phone calls to their loved ones at home. Sons talked to moms and dads, husbands to wives and their children. They were at ease in these responses yet they all stated again and again their conviction to be here and the importance of their mission. They make you so proud to be an American.
Edd's journey continues at
Lone Star Times. It will show you what the MSM refuses to show you: the courage and true sacrifice of the men and women on the front lines.
Go read it. Now. It's that important, and that moving.
