“If Democrats are going to act and vote just like Republicans, why shouldn’t I vote for a Republican instead?”

I have shared that question with my two Democratic senators and with Senators Reid and Durbin. What possible value does an opposition party have if it never opposes? I have urged all four senators to block the Alito nomination with a filibuster. There is nothing more important right now than stopping Alito. Stop kissing up to the media and worrying about your image. Fight instead!

Three Texas surgeons were playing golf together and discussing surgeries they had performed.

One of them said, “I’m the best surgeon in Texas. A concert pianist lost 7 fingers in an accident, I reattached them, and 8 months later he performed a private concert for the Queen of England.”

One of the others said, “That’s nothing. A young man lost both arms and legs in an accident, I reattached them, and 2 years later he won a gold medal in field events in the Olympics.”

The third surgeon said, “You guys are amateurs. Several years ago a cowboy who was high on cocaine and alcohol rode a horse head-on into a train traveling 80 miles an hour. All I had left to work with was the horse’s a$$ and a cowboy hat. Now he’s president of the United States.

Crawford, Texas — A tragic flood this morning destroyed the personal library of President George W. Bush. The flood began in the presidential bathroom where the books were kept. Both of his books have been lost.

A presidential spokesman said the president was devastated, as he had almost finished coloring the second one. The White House tried to call FEMA but there was no answer.

Many top end computers sound like helicopters–they may have as many as six fans whirring away. But there is a new way of creating a noiseless high powered box: mount the motherboard in an aquarium filled with corn, canola, or olive oil.

The results of a poll conducted by those crazy liberals over at the John Birch Society:

JBS POLL

Q: Should George Bush be impeached and removed from office?

Yes, because he lied us into war, has used the NSA to eavesdrop on the conversations of Americans without a court order, and has violated the Constitution in other ways. - 57%

No, because George W. Bush was justified in going to war and continues to do a good job. - 18%

No, because even though he has made mistakes those mistakes do not rise to the level of impeachment. - 22%

I don’t know. - 3%

The next time someone tells me that I’m not supporting the troops when I criticize the President I’m going to tell them to read the following news from today’s New York Times until his/her head blows up.

A secret Pentagon study has found that at least 80 percent of the marines who have been killed in Iraq from wounds to their upper body could have survived if they had extra body armor. That armor has been available since 2003 but until recently the Pentagon has largely declined to supply it to troops despite calls from the field for additional protection, according to military officials.

…explain to me…how exactly it damages national security to reveal the fact that we spy on people without secret warrants instead of the fact that we spy on people with secret warrants?

Orthodox Creationism: It’s Not Just for Christians Anymore

RJ Eskow over at the Huffington Post shares this:

Some Orthodox Jewish leaders are backing “intelligent design,” proving that the suppression of scientific knowledge in the name of religious mind-control isn’t just for Christians anymore. Willful ignorance is now an ecumenical movement.

Several speakers used the Sixth Miami International Conference on Torah and Science to push “ID,” and the Orthodox spin on creationist propaganda is gaining some support.
As the Miami Sun-Times reported:

Miami’s Center for the Advancement of Jewish Education even signed on as a sponsor. The organization’s president, Chaim Botwinick, says the event is a harbinger. “Many Jewish schools are beginning to discuss making intelligent design an integral part of their curriculum,” he explains.

Hey, just like the televangelists!
