How does she know this?

But at least he never had to be rushed to the hospital after being attacked… by a poodle.
Former French president Jacques Chirac was rushed to hospital after being mauled by his own ‘clinically depressed’ pet dog.
The 76-year-old statesman was savaged by his white Maltese dog – which suffers from frenzied fits and is being treated with anti-depressants.
The animal, named Sumo, had become increasingly violent over the past years and was prone to making ‘vicious, unprovoked attacks’, Chirac’s wife Bernadette said.
There are so many French jokes there, I don’t even know where to begin.
Want to thank President Bush for keeping us safe from terrorists since 9/11? Well, you can!
I didn’t think the MSM would ever run a story about how much the upcoming inauguration is costing the taxpayers in this shaky economy. But they did.
The price tag for President-elect Barack Obama’s inauguration gala is expected to break records, with some estimates reaching as high as $150 million.
If this were Bush spending $150 million on an inauguration in a time of war with the stock market down, unemployment up, and and a recession underway, the MSM would be putting out stories daily, maybe even hourly, about what a waste of money it was, and wondering how many poor people could have been fed with that $150 million.
But instead, we get concerts by U2, Springsteen, Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Sheryl Crow, etc. This sentence seems to sum it up:
Democrats who called on President George W. Bush to be frugal four years ago are issuing no such demands now that an inaugural weekend of rock concerts and star-studded parties has begun.
Oh, the hypocrisy.
Wow, I can’t even believe the AP even filed this story.
As more and more black renters began moving into this mostly white San Francisco Bay Area suburb a few years ago, neighbors started complaining about loud parties, mean pit bulls, blaring car radios, prostitution, drug dealing and muggings of schoolchildren.
In 2006, as the influx reached its peak, the police department formed a special crime-fighting unit to deal with the complaints, and authorities began cracking down on tenants in federally subsidized housing.
So now Antioch (the suburb in the story) is getting sued for racial discrimination? What a bunch of BS. If the black people moving in are causing the crime, cracking down on them isn’t discrimination, it’s enforcing the law. At some point, all this political correctness BS has got to go before society completely collapses here.
UPDATE: It occurred to me that if this story took place in a primarily conservative area, the local racists would be the focus of the story, but since the locals there are all liberals, well, that’s a different story.
Ok, so let me get this straight. A black, gay, liberal LA Times columnist writes a column calling Barack Obama a “magic negro”, Rush Limbaugh picks up on that and makes fun of it with with a Paul Shanklin song parody.
Then Chip Saltsman gives out copies of a Paul Shanklin cd for Christmas that happen to have that parody on it, and he’s a racist? Wow. The ignorance of some in this country never ceases to amaze me.
Although the global warming Chicken Little types will tell you that there is no debate that humans are causing global warming (despite the fact the temps peaked back in 2001 and have since cooled off), 650 scientists currently meeting in Poland would beg to differ. Here’s some of what they have to say on the subject.
“I am a skeptic…Global warming has become a new religion.” – Nobel Prize Winner for Physics, Ivar Giaever.
“The [global warming] scaremongering has its justification in the fact that it is something that generates funds.” – Award-winning Paleontologist Dr. Eduardo Tonni, of the Committee for Scientific Research in Buenos Aires and head of the Paleontology Department at the University of La Plata. (Ain’t that the truth?)
“For how many years must the planet cool before we begin to understand that the planet is not warming? For how many years must cooling go on?" – Geologist Dr. David Gee the chairman of the science committee of the 2008 International Geological Congress who has authored 130 plus peer reviewed papers, and is currently at Uppsala University in Sweden.
The conference is being held to dispute the findings of the UN on global warming. It looks like people are finally starting to wise up to this eco-crap.
Here are some out for a night on the town in Hollywood.
It’s probably not constitutional, but we seriously need some sort of competency test before we allow people like this to vote. Maybe we need an amendment.
Hat Tip: Jim
Along with Colin Powell and Condi Rice. I guess Harry Belafonte was busy.
Wow, this pretty much speaks for itself:
A glaringly obvious example of the failure of the mainstream media to do even the slightest vetting of Obama. And they had two years to do it. Just to show those people were not just a few hand-picked seriously under-informed voters, they cite a Zogby poll of Obama voters that pretty much shows the same results:
512 Obama Voters 11/13/08-11/15/08 MOE +/- 4.4 points
97.1% High School Graduate or higher, 55% College Graduates
Results to 12 simple Multiple Choice Questions
57.4% could NOT correctly say which party controls congress (50/50 shot just by guessing)
81.8% could NOT correctly say Joe Biden quit a previous campaign because of plagiarism (25% chance by guessing)
82.6% could NOT correctly say that Barack Obama won his first election by getting opponents kicked off the ballot (25% chance by guessing)
88.4% could NOT correctly say that Obama said his policies would likely bankrupt the coal industry and make energy rates skyrocket (25% chance by guessing)
56.1% could NOT correctly say Obama started his political career at the home of two former members of the Weather Underground (25% chance by guessing).
And yet…..
Only 13.7% failed to identify Sarah Palin as the person on which their party spent $150,000 in clothes
Only 6.2% failed to identify Palin as the one with a pregnant teenage daughter
And 86.9 % thought that Palin said that she could see Russia from her "house," even though that was Tina Fey who said that!!
Only 2.4% got at least 11 correct.
Only .5% got all of them correct. (And we "gave" one answer that was technically not Palin, but actually Tina Fey)
I guess Neal Boortz is right. Stupid people vote Democrat.
