Some creative ones, indeed. Give ol’ Lucko a run for his money.

The comparison of deer hunting to dog fighting is pathetic, though. Deer hunters pursue a single kill, using it for food primarily. Just as we would eat cows and chickens, except we let others do the killing for us.

Dogfighting serves no purpose and kills multiple animals in a “sport”.

Here comes the latest round of pinko lib scare mongering:

{{{{Feds get tough on Alabama nuclear plant- Screaming Front Page Urinal Headline}}}}

Let�s see here, no one has ever died in the United States because of nuclear energy, meanwhile scores die every year in coal mines, a massive amount of oil is burned to get the coal from the mine to power plant where it can be transformed into the smog being belched out of the smokestacks.

Not to mention coal ain�t cheap.

So what is the hidden agenda, Atlanta Journal Constitution, are you 1) for ruining the environment and killing coal miners, 2) against electrical power production in general, seeing how your �news� paper printing press could be run by hand crank, I suppose, 3) a mass of hysterical sheep bleating about nuclear energy based on what you saw in a Hollywood movie, even though you libs can�t spell �cat� even if you were spotted the C?

(Does anyone realize that by making the movie �The China Syndrome� and sitting on a North Vietnamese anti aircraft gun, that Jane Fonda has done more harm to American strength and prosperity than even Osama Bin Laden? Add up the damages if you don�t believe me.)

{{{{ One Atlanta resident wrote in to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that “As a new substitute teacher, I just received a letter from Fulton County schools warning me not to correct ‘grammer.’ “}}}}

Can you spell �duh?�

{{{{ For many years now, the quality and objectivity of our school textbooks, tests, and teaching materials have been gutted by special interest groups demanding changes and wimpy state legislators who bow to the pressure. The publishers end up altering the textbooks to accommodate the various left-wing (and some right-wing) grievances so that they don’t lose fat state contracts. The real losers in this, of course, are our children. History and literature are distorted through content manipulation. Language is altered in ways that are just plain goofy. Words such as snowman are banished from reading materials in favor of the non-offensive snowperson. Heaven forbid the word devil appear anywhere in a textbook. Depictions of women as traditional housewives are no-no’s. And don’t even think about using a drawing of an American Indian in traditional warrior garb.}}}}

If you want indisputable proof of the harm done by this PC nonsense, just listen to any of these liberals on this blog.

Why do you think we call them dullards?

{{{{Clinton’s campaign in New York is now scrambling to get a handle on just how much trouble Hsu has caused. “We still aren’t sure just how bad this situation is,” says a Manhattan-based political consultant working for Clinton. “Hsu obviously brought in a lot of money, but he also brought in a lot of people and some of those folks were bundling funds too.”}}}}

If I were HSU, I would be reading the story of Vince Foster right now, and pay special attention to the part about suicide.

Germany’s unwillingness to impose further sanctions on Iran has pushed the United States closer towards a decision on a military strike, FOX News reported on Wednesday…….. According to the report, Germany’s decision has spurred senior US army officials to try and convince US Foreign Secretary Condoleezza Rice to abandon once and for all the diplomatic route of preventing a nuclear Iran. The report further stated that the date of preference for an attack against Iran is in eight to 10 months - after the US presidential candidates for both the Democrats and the Republicans have been chosen, but before the major presidential campaign kicks off.

On NPR’s Morning Edition today, Petraeus explained — or tried to explain — the numbers:

I want to ask about the reduction in troops that you’ve talked about. I want to first make sure that I understand the numbers that you’re talking about. It’s been said that what you’ve described is a reduction in 30,000 troops. Is that, in fact, what you �

[Petraeus] What I’ve described is a reduction of five brigade combat teams, Army brigade combat teams, the Marine Expeditionary Unit, which actually is coming out this month without replacement, and two Marine battalions. Now, we want to take out other �

That’s a little less than �

[Petraeus] Well, we have to do the math, candidly. We’ve got � I have not yet said how many thousands of troops.

So when people have said 30,000, they’re not quite accurate. It might be 30,000 � it might be quite a bit less.

[Petraeus] Well, we’ve got to determine what it can be. The mission so far, in a sense, was to figure out how to bring these down while sustaining the gains that our troopers and Iraqi troopers have achieved, and also, then, to figure out the larger picture of where else can you reduce forces � which is something we want to do anyway.

They have to do the math, all right. Bush is going to give a BIG SPEECH to the nation tonight accepting the Petraeus plan when Petraeus hasn’t done the math on his plan yet.

No wonder no one believes Bush anymore.

Poor Gen. Petreus — having to take all the blame for Dubya’s disaster from here forward… don’t our generals “answer” to the Commander-In-Chimp and follow the Chimp’s orders?

The war in Iraq has diminished the reputations of many of its generals. As Petraeus returns to Baghdad to continue carrying out President Bush’s strategy, his image has changed as well. Like it or not, he has become a political player, and more than ever before, the U.S. venture in Iraq has become his own.

“Up until this week, it was Rumsfeld’s war,” said retired Army Lt. Col. James Jay Carafano, referring to former defense secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld. “Now, for better or worse, it’s Dave’s war.”

And I don’t care how much Dubya tries to push his slime onto someone else, this war is HIS — and RUMMY’s — and CHENEY’s — and CONDI’s — and ROVE’s…

Kerry, who graduated two years before Bush, got a cumulative 76 for his four years, according to a transcript that Kerry sent to the Navy when he was applying for officer training school. He received four D’s in his freshman year out of 10 courses, but improved his average in later years.}}}}

Dubya’s surge is only 4 years too late — and apparently his Neo-con admirers have no problem with that or the continuing loss of American lives, and don’t care that it would take millions of troops to secure Iraq properly:

“We have failed in Iraq because our vital national interests have never been at stake, and that has always been the dirty little secret regarding this horrific foreign adventure. We could win in Iraq. We have the resources to do so. It might take a draft and two million men in country, but of course this is not about to happen.— Our Iraqi predicament has never been about a lack of will by the American people as some on the right have suggested, but rather a war that was not worth our will. It is a shame that the arrogance of the neocons and their boy prince prevented them from learning the only lesson worth remembering from Vietnam: Never fight a war unless our vital national interests are at stake, and then do whatever is necessary to win.”
