Air America (airline?)-NO

Air America is a radio network. I think it's a network. The network was conceived by.......someone. And it was meant to do..........something. All the while representing the broad mainstream of America........somewhat.

Those whacky guys and gals at Air America, being true to their progressive nature (?), have gone where no commercial station has ever gone before. They are asking for donations. "GET OUT OF TOWN!" you may be saying. But no.....they are. Here is what the newspaper said:

"In an unusual move for commercial radio, Air America Radio quietly launched Sept. 21 a loyalty program that includes asking for donations from listeners, a strategy more common to noncommercial stations and political action committees. According to the network’s Web site, listeners become an “Air America Associate” by making a cash donation to the network."

They "quietly launched" a loyalty program. OOOPS! I'll probably get into trouble just by writing this. I'll write very quietly. Also, at this point I must recuse myself. I don't listen to Air America which apparently put's me in the stupid category of the human race. Reason would tell you that there are not enough smart people around to sustain a Radio Network for smart people. Therefore a PBS style donation drive should not arouse any suspicion in any of us, because nobody listens to PBS. If this does create suspicion....... you are most likely a racist, or were abused as a child by your parents.

But like I said, "I must recuse myself."

If you think Air America sounds like an airline........you are probably a racist, a stupid racist. Of course it is an airline, isn't it? All I know is that extremely smart people who are better than me, because they have "no God," picked "Air America" as their moniker. I think these smart people have visions of sugarplums dancing in their heads.

These people don't get it. You would think smart people would.

I stand recused.

The Ugly Feminist

Not long ago, a man was about to enter a Department Store in a local shopping mall. Upon his approach to the store he noticed a women heading in his direction. He paused, smiled, and held the door open for the woman who surprised the man with, "I hope you're not holding the door for me because I am a women."

"No," replied the man, "I'm holding the door because I am a Gentleman!"

Feinstein in Fein Form

Dianne Feinstein is a U.S. Senator from California. When you hear about the lunatic fringe of the Democratic Party, Ms. Feinstein would be one of the lunatics. The fact that she is not being treated at a Mental Institution for her delusional tantrums is yet another example of the failure of this country's Health Care system.

Yesterday Ms. Feinstein slipped into Wonderland at the senate confirmation hearing of John Roberts, a candidate for Supreme Court Justice. This is what Ms. Feinstein said, a statement, I think, which was meant to explain the separation of "church and state." It's amazing she said these things without crossing her eyes once. Here's what she said:

I recently traveled to Europe where I saw monuments enshrining the tragedies that have occurred in the name of religion. In Budapest along the River Danube there are 60 pairs of shoes covered in copper: women's, men's, small children's.

During World War II, Hungarian fascist and Nazi soldiers forced thousands of Jews including men, women and small children to remove their shoes, as a final humiliation, before shooting them and letting their bodies fall and drift down the river. These shoes represent a powerful symbol of man's inhumanity.

Never crossed her eyes once.

You may ask yourself, "What in the world is she talking about." Don't ask me, I dunno! Certainly Hungary and Germany were not religious states. I don't have a clue what she was talking about. I just wish someone would have had the compassion and decency to approach her during the statement, and gingerly grab her shoulders and say, "There, there, lets go back to your office. I have licorice!" Then gently lift her from her seat and escort her out of the hearing room.

That would have been the correct thing to do.

I can just see her, her eyes crossed by now, staggering in short choppy steps out of the Senate hearing room saying, "Is it red licorice?"

Gilligan?

This week Bob Denver died. Denver played the character "Gilligan" in the TV series Gilligan's Island. This made me think of the human failure, John Kerry.

John Kerry ran for President in 2004. He was rejected in 2004. This girly man also told many lies in 2004. His whole life is just rotten with bad judgment and out and out lies.

Mr. Kerry tried so hard to dupe the American people into thinking he was a wholesome all-American man. And he might have been successful if only he didn't have to open his mouth and speak. This is the guy who voted against the Iraq war after he voted for it. Of all the major gaffes committed by this traitorous loser was his response to a question about his favorite Boston Red Sox player.

I love baseball, and I love my country. These two things separate myself from comrade Kerry.

Kerry is a Senator from Massachusetts, the state the city of Boston is located. He would wear a Boston Red Sox baseball hat from time to time on the campaign trail. His intention was to portray himself as an average Joe, and a supporter of the Red Sox. Well, Gilligan, er I mean Kerry had some baseball talk with a news reporter that I will never forget, and you the reader might have missed.

reporter: "Senator Kerry, I see you are wearing a Red Sox cap.

Kerry: "You betcha, I'm a life-long fan."

reporter: "Who's your favorite Red Sox player?"

Kerry: "Manny Ortiz!"

reporter: "Do you mean David Ortiz?"
(There is no Manny Ortiz on the Red Sox)

Kerry: "Er... yes, David Ortiz"

[Then he spoke]

Kerry: "But my favorite all-time Red Sox player was Eddie Yost. I admired him while I was growing up because he was a hard-nosed player who never would give up."

Okay. If you know little about baseball, much like Kerry and this reporter, you wouldn't think twice about his statement. At least the reporter knew David Ortiz. But if you are a baseball fan it would grab your attention immediately. At first you would wonder why he wouldn't pick Ted Williams, the games best hitter ever, and a Red Sox player, as his favorite player. Eddie Yost was a hard-nosed player, and Eddie probably did hate to lose, but the problem is this. Eddie Yost never played for the Boston Red Sox. Never. Not one game.

Skipper: "OOOOh little buddy, are you telling tales?"

Kerry: "Who? Where? Me?"

New Orleans D.C.

New York////////New Orleans.

Both cities shared disasters this century.

New York, the terrorist attack on the World Trade Towers. An event that was not predicted, but the city apparently had trained for such an event.

New Orleans, hit by a hurricane that was tracked for days. There was never any doubt it would hit the southern part of Louisiana.

How do they compare? Can you say....ILLUMINATING!

New York Mayor: Rudy Giuliani (Republican).....took immediate charge of the search and rescue efforts. Then succeeded in reassuring citizens of his control, and the endeavors to correct the situation were underway. [His performance was so outstanding that he is now spoken of as Presidential material]

New Orleans Mayor: Ray Nagin (Democrat)......ordered the evacuation of the city more then a day before Hurricane Katrina struck. That was it. He didn't enforce it. Large segments of the city said, "Hell No! We're not going anywhere!" The next time Mayor Nagin was seen he was whining and complaining two days after the disaster that the Federal Government was to slow, that the city, his city, was in anarchy. [It's hard to say that the Mayor lost control because he never had control].

New York Governor: George Pataki (Republican).....was immediately at the scene wearing a hard hat. He mobilized the Guard.

Louisiana Governor: Kathleen Blanco (Democrat).....I don't know what she was doing, and there is evidence she didn't know what she was doing. We only know what she didn't do.....call out the Guard to initiate rescue.

Mayor Nagin and Governor Blanco adhere to the Democratic party Creed:"If you don't know what you're doing, do nothing, and blame others."

A note to New Orleans-------if you want to bow to the federal government and give-up your sovereignty as a city in the state of Louisiana, that could be arranged. You'd be called the New Orleans District of Columbia. New Orleans D.C.. You have the crime and mindset to be another D.C..

A new New Orleans?

Hurricane Katrina dealt a blow to the gulf coast of the United States. It could have been worse, but the devastation, especially in New Orleans, could have been prevented.

New Orleans is a city below sea level. The levees that were constructed to protect the city had the capability of withstanding a Level 3 hurricane. A Hurricane, Level 4 or 5 would wipe out the city. Katrina, previously a Level 5, came ashore as a Level 4. The storm tracked east at the point of land fall wiping out coastal towns in Mississippi and Alabama. New Orleans, located in the state of Louisiana, appeared to be spared the brunt of the storm, but then the levees protecting the city failed releasing the water and flooding the city.

The Question: If we knew that the possibility of a Level 5 Hurricane hitting New Orleans would wipe out the city, why were the levees constructed only to protect the city from a Level 3 storm? We must insist on an answer to that question.

The levees failed but also the politicians failed. For those of you not familiar with the city of New Orleans, it is well known for the corruption of city government. The city is one of the most crime ridden cities in America. And like all other crime ridden cities in this country, it is run by liberal Democrats. New Orleans boasts of its immoral attributes. "Do something FOR ME!".... should be the cities motto. In short, there is not a human vice that is not exploited by the city of New Orleans. Why spend money on levee expansion, when you can build bike paths, parking lots, a Mardi Gras fountain, and river walks..... would be the response of the city government to the above question. Democrats will spend millions of dollars on bike paths and river walks, and turn around and say, "We need more Police, to deal with our high crime rate." DEM's will create a budget and after passing it, and at the same time appeasing their special interests with it, decrie that the city needs more police officers.

A sane human being would say, "A bike path through the French Quarter would sure be nice, but seeing the existing crime problem we have, the money is better spent on increasing our fire and police operations."

Did you ever wonder why Democrats hate Police and coddle criminals?.... When a DEM sees a cop, he thinks, "because of that nazi pig, we don't have a bike bath somewhere."

The Dutch have the same problem of being under sea level that exists in New Orleans. A tidal wave in the 1950's killed thousands. What they did was build a series of 3 levees. No expense was spared. Remember that the flooding of New Orleans did not have to happen.

The question, why a better levee system was not built in New orleans MUST be answered by local and state representatives. It has been customary for the federal government to pay 75% of any major construction project, leaving the remaining 25% to be paid by the State and Local authorities. A tremendous deal if you ask me. But apparently too pricey for the Mayor and his corrupt minions.

Natural catastrophe's (USA): You will hear that the New Orleans catastrophe is the worst natural disaster in this country's history. Not true. The people you will hear this from are the same people who said our incursion into Afghanistan would be another Vietnam. Oddly, even though the same people say discrediting things over and over again, they are never discredited.

Worst American Disasters
• Hurricane---Sept. 8, 1900 in Galveston, Texas. 6-8,000 lost.
• Flood---May 31, 1889 in Johnstown, PA when the South Fork Dam broke. 2,2000 perished.
• Fire---Oct. 8, 1871 in Peshtigo, Wisconsin where 1,500 died.

The Worst American Disaster
• Epidemic---1918 the Spanish Flu hit The United States killing 500,000 people.

THE MORAL: To all of you who sheepishly follow the liberal mantra that the Government should provide everything........I hope you witnessed first hand how quickly relief arrived to New Orleans. That is the level of service you wish to condemn others with.

Also, I think it should be stressed that much if not all of the loss of life in New Orleans could have been prevented if the people in New Orleans who were told to evacuate would have left the city. When government, the provider of essential services tells you it can no longer provide those services, believe them,...... LEAVE! All you do is increase the burden you already present by not following the evacuation order. And don't complain later if you were too stupid to leave. There is a fine line between Stupid and Stubborn. Many stayed in New Orleans because they were thugs, accustomed to preying on other's misery. Other people stayed simply because they weren't leaving. They don't obey others.
