Cool Toon!

Hey Andy, what should we do with Congress?

With barely seven weeks until the midterm elections, Americans have an overwhelmingly negative view of the Republican-controlled Congress, with substantial majorities saying that they disapprove of the job it is doing and that its members do not deserve re-election, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll. The disdain for Congress is as intense as it has been since 1994, when Republicans captured 52 seats to end 40 years of Democratic control of the House and retook the Senate as well. It underlines the challenge the Republican Party faces in trying to hold on to power in the face of a surge in anti-incumbent sentiment.

The pervert anti American liberals putting the blame where it doesn’t belong, as always:

It appears that a native Syrian living in Canada, Maher Arar, traveled to the U.S. where he was apprehended by the FBI and deported to his home country based on information provided to the FBI by the Canadian authorities. But let’s be sure that we get the vocabulary in this incident straight. There may have been dereliction or simply errors on the part of the Canadian authorities and/or the FBI. But the responsibility for Mr. Arar’s treatment in Syria is wholly the responsibility of Syria. To the extent that deporting Mr. Arar to Syria is considered reprehensible, it is reprehensible to the extent that Syria is a depraved and savage regime.-AmericanThinker

Four months after Iraq’s unity government took office, hope is turning to disappointment. Key U.S. leaders are hinting that Iraq’s leaders must make hard decisions — and soon — if they expect American support to continue.

So far, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s government has failed to stop sectarian militias responsible for much of the bloodshed, or to make headway in luring Sunni Arabs away from the insurgency.

Al-Maliki also has run into persistent trouble from U.S. critics in Congress angry at his recent meeting with Iran’s president and his refusal to condemn the Hezbollah militia, which fought Israel.

Publicly, the Bush administration continues to offer strong support for al-Maliki, with President Bush saying Wednesday he is optimistic the government will succeed. But Bush also offered a not-too-subtle hint that the American commitment to Iraq and its current government is not open-ended.

Looks like even the Chimperor is ready to ‘CUT n WIN’ in Iraq, now.

WASHINGTON - The government used prewar data to estimate the cost of caring for veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan, contributing to a $3 billion budget shortfall at the Veterans Affairs Department since 2005, congressional investigators say.

The department used “unrealistic assumptions, errors in estimation and insufficient data” to project its budget, the Government Accountability Office said in a report Wednesday.

Investigators also said the VA failed to estimate correctly the costs for these war veterans partly because the agency could not get accurate information from the Defense Department.

More evidence of just how little the Republicans REALLY care about the troops they are USING to feather their political nest.

The bag of tainted Dole baby spinach is the “smoking gun” that has allowed investigators to zero in on three counties in California’s greater Salinas Valley, said Dr. Mark Horton, the state public health officer. Authorities also were checking processing plants, Horton said.

One of Mr. Luckovich’s more interesting cartoons. Can easily be interpreted to offend the right (Cheney as devil) left (making fun of characterization as evil personified - interesting thought - far left using tangible religious imagery) - or crazy foreign leaders - demonize the US but don’t quite have the intelligence to get it right.

Also, interesting condensed version of Barbara Walter’s upcoming 20/20 interview with Bill O’Reilly of Fox News. I’ve seen more than a few rather knee-jerk unflattering remarks about the person and network (generally including capitals, epithets, and much hyperbole) - so thought you’d be interested in this assessment by O’Reilly:

To the surprise of some observers, O’Reilly believes Bill Clinton’s presidency was a success.

“Brilliant. I think he did a good job as president,” O’Reilly said. “Had a little problem with the honesty deal. And that gave me pause. But his presidency was successful.”

At the risk of being painted as a “right-winger” I feel todays editorial cartoon depicting Vice President Cheney as the devil was beyond the pale. It adds nothing to the debates and seems to attempt to validate the anti-American rants we listed to in the UN yesterday.

So wingnuts like Andy the drunk and the pompous enabler RW, backed by the patent leather jackboot types at AmericanThinker, insist on defending the extreme rendition of an innocent Canadian man to Syria, a known terror supporter, where he’s tortured for a year. They applaud the claim by clueless Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez that this was perfectly legal and acceptable.

The Justice Department says… oops!!! Gonzalez ‘mispoke’!!:

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20 — In an embarrassing turnabout, the Department of Justice backed away Wednesday from a denial by Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales of responsibility for the treatment of Maher Arar, a Canadian who was seized by American authorities in 2002.

The man was deported {{excuse me, forced to submit to EXTREME RENDITION}} to Syria, where he was imprisoned and beaten.

Gonzalez, who thinks torture bans are “quaint”, insisted there’s nothing wrong with this!

Asked about Mr. Gonzales’s remarks, Mr. Arar said in an interview on Wednesday with National Public Radio that American officials had sent him to Syria despite his protests that he would be tortured there.

“The facts speak for themselves, you know,” Mr. Arar said. “The report clearly concluded that I was tortured. And for him to say that he does not know about the case or does not know I was tortured is really outrageous.”

The patent leather neocons who think this is just peachy have no brains and no conscience. And in a stunning example of self-righteousness, they won’t even consider the possibility that they might be wrong.

I missed all reports of the speech made by Chavez at the UN.(Had “company” until late last night). Did he actually give a speech implying we executed 9/11 terror ourselves? Or was it his idea that nobody likes us so the terrorists are just giving us what we deserve?

Since so many liberals seem to be agreeing with his statements, I gather it was totally anti-USA and anti-Bush. Maybe Candide writes his speeches. Naww-I retract that. Candide will think that is a compliment.

Hugo’s address to the U.N. was an accurate portrayal of the leftist diplomacy we see here everyday. So much of his rhetoric against the U.S. is verbatim to what I read in the radical left-wing blogs. The guy is a pretentious buffoon.

Dick Cheney the “Devil?” In some ways possibly.

He does have a great talent for giving the radical leftists’ “hell”.

So I’ll support Cheney as a “hellfire missile” aimed at the radical left and you can support Hugo’s attempts to displace blame for the human rights violations within his own country on the U.S.

And since Venezuela, with all it’s human rights violations, is a candidate for a seat on the U.N. Security Council, he can move the U.N. down to Latin America for all I care. They’re just as useless to struggling democracies as Chavez is to his own people.

From Commie Scott Finchies own link,

In September 2002, as he changed planes at Kennedy International Airport in New York on his way home to Canada, he was detained because his name was on a terrorist watch list. His name was included on the basis of incorrect information from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police that he was linked to Al Qaeda, the commission found.

{{American officials wanted more information about what threat he might pose and decided to deport him to Syria, an option legally possible because he had been born there. Officials have said that as is standard in such cases, the United States sought “assurances” from Syria that Mr. Arar would not be tortured.}}

In other words: CANADA gave us the initial information and he was deported to SYRIA because he had a dual-passport and was born there and AMERICA asked for assurances that he would not be tortured.

I Am Your Worst Nightmare. I am a BAD American. I am George Carlin.

I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some mid level governmental functionary be it Democratic or Republican!

I’m in touch with my feelings and I like it that way!

I think owning a gun doesn’t make you a killer, it makes you a smart American.

I think being a minority does not make you noble or victimized, and does not entitle you to anything.

I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac, try to do it in English.

I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God when and where they want to.

My heroes are John Wayne, Babe Ruth, Roy Rogers, and whoever canceled Jerry Springer.

I don’t hate the rich. I don’t pity the poor.

I know wrestling is fake and I don’t waste my time watching or arguing about it.

I’ve never owned a slave, or was a slave. I didn’t wander forty years in the desert after getting chased out of Egypt. I haven’t burned any witches or been persecuted by the Turks and neither have you! So, shut up already.

I believe if you don’t like the way things are here, go back to where you came from and change your own country! This is AMERICA.

I want to know which church is it exactly where the Reverend Jesse Jackson practices, where he gets his money, and why he is always part of the problem and not the solution. Can I get an AMEN on that one?

I think the cops have every right to shoot your sorry rear if you’re running from them..

I also think they have the right to pull you over if you’re breaking the law, regardless of what color you are.

And, no, I don’t mind having my face shown on my drivers license. I think it’s good….. and I’m proud that “God” is written on my money.

I think if you are too stupid to know how a ballot works, I don’t want you deciding who should be running the most powerful nation in the world for the next four years.

I dislike those people standing in the intersections trying to sell me stuff or trying to guilt me into making “donations” to their cause.

Still one of the most important right-wing organs in the nation (The Nation talking about the Washington Times.),

Just a tad bit of jealousy, quite obvious.

the paper has a circulation base of around 100,000. According to a source close to senior management,

A source we won’t name of course a favorite lying liberal trick.

in the past two decades it has burned through far more than the $1.7 billion previously reported.

Anybody want to bet we won’t ever see any PROOF of that?

During that time its editorial stance has consistently leaned to the hard right

Which includes using the Associated Press for most of their articles and printing the same columnists that Real Clear Politics, Townhall, National Review and the American Spectator do.

I detect a right wing conspiracy paranoia.

I mean it’s like the Washington Times has been caught red handed faking memos, photoshopping it’s pictures and speaking to foreign audiences about evil America.

Or comparing US Soldiers to Al Qaeda, comparing Christianity to radical Islam, drawing cartoons that favor third world lunatics over their own country…..

None of you bloggers have figured out what Chavez’s comments mean. The fact that he has an audience of billions of people who agree with him and applaud his efforts is a symptom of a larger anti US sentiment out there. “They” are not afraid of us anymore. Nor do “they” think we are the good guys. “They” are the rest of the world, all 5.7 billion people. Now the right would have us slaughter them all so that we can still enjoy cheap oil. I say we impeach our president and VP and show the world that we are not puppets for Haliburton or the Carlysle Group or the Saudis, which is in fact what Bush and Cheney are.

On September 19, 2006, Chávez addressed the UN General Assembly, drawing applause by calling George Bush “the devil”, and accusing the U.S. of “domination, exploitation and pillage of peoples of the world”.[123]

-=-

Chavez speaks out against the actions Bush has taken against his country and others and every neocon has to mark the man as “The Evil One!”. Chavez can say anything he wants to - and unfortunantly this does hit home. Bush has tried to impose policies on Venezuela that aids his oil buddies in exploiting their oil. Chavez passed legislation (in their country) to stop this exploitation. Then the bush administration even supported an attempt at a coup against Chavez. Chavez has every right to hate Bush and the Back gang boys.

I will ask this - when has Chavez ever done anything directly against the USA - has he attacked? Has he taken US Hostages? Has he ever done anything to harm the US directly or even indirectly?? — No!

However he has tried to stop the USA from exploiting HIS countries resources, by legislation, talks with other nations, and of course the occsional statements against Bush!

But the Bush Babies will make Chavez out to be an evil dictator that tortures women and children before this is over.

*Chávez’s foreign policy conduct and anti-Bush rhetoric has occasionally reached the level of personal attacks. Chávez once referred to U.S. President George W. Bush as a pendejo (“dumbass”), and constantly refers to him as Míster Danger. In a later speech, he made personal remarks regarding Condoleezza Rice, referring to her as a “complete illiterate” when it comes to comprehending Latin America.[111] [112] [113] On September 20, 2006 Chavez called Bush “the devil”. [114]

After Hurricane Katrina battered the United States’ Gulf Coast in late 2005, the Chávez administration was the first foreign government to offer aid to the devastated regions. The Bush administration opted to refuse this aid. Later during the winter of 2005, various officials in the Northeastern United States signed an agreement with Venezuela to provide discounted heating oil to low income families.*

Yes the man even offers to help Americans in need and Bush denies basic humanitarian aid to USA citizens from someone willing to help because of politics! Now who’s the traitor?

His environmental record is atrocious. Deforestation, soil degradation; urban and industrial pollution. There’s even pollution by sewage. His policies threaten the rainforests in Venezuela. He’s a terrible man.

My church has members who came from Venezuela. They’re happy to be in America just like the Cubans who have come here for freedom.

We’re really very lucky not to have men like Mr. Chavez leading our country.

NEW YORK (AFP) - Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez launched a new personal attack against President George W. Bush, calling the US leader an “alcoholic” and a “sick man” during a tour of the New York district of Harlem.

Speaking while walking in a Harlem street, Chavez told a group of passers-by: “Bush is an alcoholic, a sick man with a lot of hang-ups.”

“He walks like John Wayne,” declared the left-wing Venezuelan leader. “He doesn’t know anything about politics, he got there because of Daddy.” Bush’s father, George Bush, was also a US president.

What I objected to here is that I feel as though this cartoon did two things that I consider way off-base. First of all it appears to give credence to an insult leveled at our sitting President. Secondly, this cartoon added nothing thought provoking to any political discussion, it was childishly offensive. While I enjoy the give-and-take of politics I think this was disgusting and I am finally through with the AJC. What really makes me sad is I was raised in a house the got both the Constitution and the Journal. My parents made sure to expose us to both sides of things and actually relished it when we would disagree with them.

I have tired of this newspaper because it doesn’t actually promote critical examination of issues, it promotes a decidedly left-of-center, Inside-The-Perimeter-centric view point that blinds the editors to the larger world. Many of the writers on this blog are so nasty to others that it has become impossible to actually have a discussion without name calling. You should be ashamed of yourselves, both sides. You add nothing but vitriol and innuendo. That goes for both sides. Look, I grew up with both of these papers in a home that valued reasoned opinions. My Dad told me he never felt prouder of me than when I disagreed with him on an issue and backed it up with facts. Did I change his mind? No. That isn’t the point. The point is examining issues from different view points and honoring those opinions, even if you don’t agree with them. If the editors of the AJC can’t bring eveness to the discussion, I have to go somewhere else where reasoned and thinking people are welcomed. It makes me sad to think how an institution I have trusted for so many years has become this mess.

We may all disagree as to what those facts mean, but it does cut down on the speculation and mis-information garbage from 1 sided political rags.

Chavez’ rant went a long way to prove conservatives correct about endemic anti-Americanism in the United Nations. Even other nations appeared stunned by the ferocity of the remarks, such as China’s foreign minister, who had to ask for confirmation of his remarks out of disbelief. The warmth of the reception of these remarks provided a stunning look at the hostility that the non-democratic nations have for the United States, especially in the General Assembly. It will add fuel to the fire for conservative skepticism of the body’s effect on spreading freedom and liberty around the world, which is supposed to be one of the UN’s core missions.

Instead, we see that the organization has increasingly been hijacked by petty petrocrats and hallucinating dictators as a vehicle for hatred and obloquy. When the leader of one sovereign nation uses the UN dais to issue thinly-veiled demands for the annihilation of another nation, and gets followed by a circus act that makes him look like a moderate, then we know that the inmates are running the Turtle Bay asylum. Yesterday, Chavez proved that all the UN is missing is enough straitjackets to go around.

If he can say “nu-clee-ar” in private, why does he still say, “nuke-cule-ar” when he speaks on camera?

Folks, with few exceptions, these people have been sentenced to remain at Guantanamo Bay for the rest of their lives. Article 118 begins with “Prisoners of war shall be released and repatriated without delay after the cessation of active hostilities.”

Did you know that the Venezuelan government (Chavez) claim to have reduced poverty in Venezuela to below 30 percent of the population, but social scientists in Venezuela dispute that claim, saying that poverty still hovers at well over 50 percent, and that half of Venezuelans work in the underground economy, selling trinkets or offering services and barely making ends meet?
