This will be my last opinion post on Dean's World. I am currently working on my new site with the help of my sister and hubby. We hope to be open on Monday. I decided to go out with a bang. Enjoy!

Is Kerry A Liar or His Wife's Bitch?

Being a Michigander and the daughter of a former autoworker, I am always interested in how well the auto industry is doing-- and if politicians are out there trying to fuck us over and kill Michigan jobs.

I was particularly interested in eco-friendly, Democratic Presidential candidate John Kerry's thoughts du jour on automobile fuel economy standards. Standards too high could REALLY HURT the AUTO INDUSTRY and UNION WORKERS. He supports raising the current standards to 36 miles per gallon by 2015.

Ouch.

That seems really consistent since he is very pro-environment. As he said in his speech, in Florida, "Being responsible about the environment is not some goo-goo, do-gooder, silly notion that you embrace once a year on Earth Day," railed Kerry to a Florida crowd. "It's important to life itself."

I agree. I'm not a big environment person. Trees are nice and all; I'm just not much for hugging them. If you are a big "Earth Day" person, like Kerry, then his ideas about raising the automobile fuel economy standards to a Union worker crippling 36MPG seems fair. Unless, you live in Michigan and want to stay EMPLOYED. Or you live wherever and like driving your SUV, light duty truck or minivan. Either way good for Kerry. I like a man that has principles.

John Kerry was asked on Thursday whether he owned an SUV.

"I don't own an SUV," said Kerry

Cool. Very commendable. How about the Mrs.? Hey, doesn't she own a Chevy Suburban?

Kerry thought for a second when asked whether his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, had a Suburban at their Ketchum, Idaho, home. Kerry said he owns and drives a Dodge 600 and recently bought a Chrysler 300M. He said his wife owns the Chevrolet SUV.

"The family has it. I don't have it," he said.

Nice principles. I like how he blames "the family".

So which is it?

LIAR or Teresa's BITCH?

or BOTH!

Don't let the Liberty Alliance get their asses handed to them. We don't mind third place but we'd prefer second.

What's it gonna take to get you to part with some cash? Help our boys over in Iraq by donating now.

I'm thinking about taking some new more REVEALING pictures of my VERY AMPLE RACK.

How much would a picture of the Queen's jewels be worth to ya? How about $10 via the Liberty Alliance. Email proof of the $10 donation to qoae2004@yahoo.com and I'll send you a King's ransom of boobies.

Let's show the military guys that us civilians can get the job done.

Update

Watch your mailboxes, later today we shall be sending out our first batch of pics!

Because his parents and the Liberty Alliance are getting their asses handed to them. We don't mind third place but we'd like a respectable third place. Hello?.

Do you have a buck or two to spare? Help our boys over in Iraq by donating now.

Your dollar could help that little boy and his dog smile again. Don't let him think his parents and the Liberty Alliance are LOSERS.

The Queen of All Evil will be hosting her own blog. We have just secured the domain. With any luck my blog will be up and running just in time for my birthday.

We'll keep you posted.

Dave Neiwert wants to know if us Right Wingers are going to make a peep about this:

Hillary wants to be on the VP ticket so that she dispels the notion that the Clintons are sabotaging the campaign and so that she can also go out there and really be the star. She'd be the star because she'll be the one bringing excitement to it. And, by the way, she'll get all kinds of criticism and the Republicans will launch all they've got at her, and she'll endure that. They know that they're pretty confident Kerry is going to lose and if Kerry wins there's always Fort Marcy Park. So they're rolling the dice on this.

That is from Rush Limbaugh. I don't listen to him so I didn't "get" the reference. According to Neiwert, it was obvious and everyone should have understood what Rush was "clearly saying outright".

Did you? Get it? Let me have Neiwert explain it.

"The park in question, of course, is the one where Vince Foster's body was found -- which is to say, in the Bizarro Worldview of Limbaugh and his followers, where his body was dumped after Hillary had him murdered.

In other words, Limbaugh is not merely hinting, he's clearly saying outright that the Clintons intend to assassinate Kerry if he wins the presidency."

Got that now. Good. It is important that those of us that are SANE understand the Limbaughs and Neiwerts of the world. Extremists appear to have a code language that only they understand.

When you see an extremist it is best that you just smile and nod at them. Don't engage them because you never know what they will "hear" and you could end up being a target for their next looney conspiracy theory.

Just walk away.

Note to Mr. Neiwert:

hinting = making obscure references to a park where Vince Foster (a SUICIDE) was found.

clearly saying outright = actually saying it. [e.g. "THE CLINTONS PLAN TO KILL KERRY IF HE WINS"]

He is the funniest man on the planet. I'm still laughing. I watched his HBO special last night and I'm watching it again right now.

I love him.

Happy Birthday Mommy!

Last year, I wrote a tribute to mom. This year we sing!

Sto lat! Sto lat! Niech żyje, żyje nam.

Sto lat! Sto lat! Niech żyje, żyje nam.

Jeszcze raz! Jeszcze raz! Niech żyje, żyje nam.

Niech żyje nam.

Went out with the family this evening. Surprise birthday party for my mom. Had a great time. Got some yummy leftovers for my honey. Tripped in the parking lot on the way out and landed on one knee. I recovered quickly and went on to have a really nice evening at my mom's house. It didn't seem to hurt.

Knee is now swollen and blue. Oh and it really freakin' hurts. Hopefully, before I turn 40, I'll learn to walk.

Ouch.

Senator Chris Dodd apologizes to those of us that were offended by his Byrd tribute.

"Words can sting and hurt," Dodd told The Associated Press Wednesday. "If in any way, in my referencing the Civil War, I offended anyone, I apologize."

He said he was trying to make the point that Byrd would have been a good senator at any point, and "I was not thinking of the KKK or his vote against the Civil Rights Act."

You know what? It didn't really make the mainstream news. He could have ignored it and it would have gone away. He didn't and that says a lot about his integrity. It's a better apology than Trent Lott delivered and it's good enough for me.

Good on you, Sen Dodd. Good on you.

There's More...

And he KICKED ASS.

WASHINGTON, April 13 — Attorney General John Ashcroft strongly defended the Bush administration and himself today before the 9/11 commission, laying the blame for intelligence failures prior to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks squarely on the presidency of Bill Clinton.

Mr. Ashcroft said Al Qaeda was able to plan and carry out the attacks that killed some 3,000 people in large part because of policies of the Clinton administration and its deliberate neglect of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's computer technology.

"The simple fact of Sept. 11 is this," Mr. Ashcroft told members of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States in a public hearing. "We did not know an attack was coming because for nearly a decade our government had blinded itself to its enemies.

"Our agents were isolated by government-imposed walls, handcuffed by government-imposed restrictions and starved for basic information technology," the attorney general went on. "The old national intelligence system in place on Sept. 11 was destined to fail."

You don't say. I'm facinated by all of this.

Mr. Ashcroft said that to the contrary, he personally went to the national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, on March 7, 2001, and urged her to scuttle what he characterized as an ineffective policy of the Clinton administration specifying that Mr. bin Laden had to be captured, and only in a way that lawyers would approve.

"Even if they could have penetrated bin Laden's training camp, they would have needed a battery of attorneys to approve the capture," Mr. Ashcroft said sarcastically.

Mr. Ashcroft said that he wanted "decisive, lethal action" and had told Ms. Rice, "We should find and kill bin Laden."

The attorney general sounded almost contemptuous as he spoke of a "legal wall" put into effect in 1995 to separate criminal investigators from intelligence agents in an effort to safeguard individual rights.

Far from protecting individual rights, Mr. Ashcroft asserted, the wall has been an obstacle to protecting the American people.

A wall? That sounds like a really stupid idea. The person who wrote the document constructing this "wall" should be horsewhipped. They should be dragged before the committee and questioned thoroughly. Who is this asshat?

TELL US!

Referring to the 1995 document that constructed the figurative wall, Mr. Ashcroft went on to say, "Full disclosure compels me to inform you that the author of this memorandum is a member of the commission."

Mr. Ashcroft was a referring to Jamie Gorelick, a Democratic member of the independent, bipartisan, 10-member commission, who was deputy attorney general in the Clinton administration.

That's not good. Does that make this a mistrial? Or should I say mis-witch hunt?

I'm watching Janet Reno testify. Did she really have to testify in public? I'm not a fan of Ms. Reno but she doesn't look good. The Parkinson's has obviously worsened. She could have done this in private and they could've had her testimony released after.

Yes, we love The Sound of Music.

But, do you know what we (my family) love more?

The New Republic gives us an example of what we have been discussing in "To Marko and Adam".

AN ALTERNATIVE HISTORY: washington, april 9, 2004. A hush fell over the city as George W. Bush today became the first president of the United States ever to be removed from office by impeachment. Meeting late into the night, the Senate unanimously voted to convict Bush following a trial on his bill of impeachment from the House.

Moments after being sworn in as the 44th president, Dick Cheney said that disgraced former national security adviser Condoleezza Rice would be turned over to the Hague for trial in the International Court of Justice as a war criminal. Cheney said Washington would "firmly resist" international demands that Bush be extradited for prosecution as well.

On August 7, 2001, Bush had ordered the United States military to stage an all-out attack on alleged terrorist camps in Afghanistan. Thousands of U.S. special forces units parachuted into this neutral country, while air strikes targeted the Afghan government and its supporting military. Pentagon units seized abandoned Soviet air bases throughout Afghanistan, while establishing support bases in nearby nations such as Uzbekistan. Simultaneously, FBI agents throughout the United States staged raids in which dozens of men accused of terrorism were taken prisoner.

Reaction was swift and furious. Florida Senator Bob Graham said Bush had "brought shame to the United States with his paranoid delusions about so-called terror networks." British Prime Minister Tony Blair accused the United States of "an inexcusable act of conquest in plain violation of international law." White House chief counterterrorism advisor Richard Clarke immediately resigned in protest of "a disgusting exercise in over-kill."

When dozens of U.S. soldiers were slain in gun battles with fighters in the Afghan mountains, public opinion polls showed the nation overwhelmingly opposed to Bush's action. Political leaders of both parties called on Bush to withdraw U.S. forces from Afghanistan immediately. "We are supposed to believe that attacking people in caves in some place called Tora Bora is worth the life of even one single U.S. soldier?" former Nebraska Senator Bob Kerrey asked.

When an off-target U.S. bomb killed scores of Afghan civilians who had taken refuge in a mosque, Spanish Prime Minister Jose Aznar announced a global boycott of American products. The United Nations General Assembly voted to condemn the United States, and Washington was forced into the humiliating position of vetoing a Security Council resolution declaring America guilty of "criminal acts of aggression."

Bush justified his attack on Afghanistan, and the detention of 19 men of Arab descent who had entered the country legally, on grounds of intelligence reports suggesting an imminent, devastating attack on the United States. But no such attack ever occurred, leading to widespread ridicule of Bush's claims. Speaking before a special commission created by Congress to investigate Bush's anti-terrorism actions, former national security adviser Rice shocked and horrified listeners when she admitted, "We had no actionable warnings of any specific threat, just good reason to believe something really bad was about to happen."

Please read the rest.

The liberal complaints about Iraq and 9/11 are contradictory. You have made it impossible to please you.

Why do we have the 9/11 Commission? The purpose was to figure out what went wrong and fix it, so we NEVER have a 9/11 again. That isn't what it is now, is it? It is now a Witch Hunt. Blame someone (Bush) besides Al Qaeda and burn them at the stake. What did they know and when did they know it??? Blah, blah, blah...

We already hear mumblings from people that want to know why we didn't prevent it. It is a circle of insanity. If the Bush Administration had, by some miracle, been able to prevent 9/11 how would anyone know it? Let's say they had vague info that some time in September, Al Qaeda, would do exactly what they did. What should the Bush Administration have done? Act pre-emptively to stop the attack, right? If they were successful what would the screams and complaints be?

Maybe they would sound like this:
Bush=Hitler
Bush is a racist.
Ashcroft loves martial law.
Bush killed the airlines.

Don't shake your head at me. If they prevented 9/11, we wouldn't know it because it would never have happened.

They didn't prevent 9/11. They couldn't. So. Bush spoke loud and clear to nations that sponsor terrorism:"You're either with us, or you're with the terrorists". He put them all on notice. Did he put them on notice because they were responsible for 9/11? With the exception of Afghanistan, the answer is no.

He put them on notice because after 9/11, we cannot afford to wait until they actually attack us.

We all know that they hate us. I don't give a rat's ass why they hate us. They hate us and they want us dead. We have two choices:

1) Respond after we get hit and suffer casualities and fatalities. Of course, then we are back to hearing "What did they know and when did they know it?"

2) We go in kick ass and start taking hyphenated names. I'm all about self-defense. If I saw some punk on the street that said, "I'm gonna kill you", you can bet your ass that I won't wait for him to start. I'm prepared to fight and kill, if necessary, to save myself. That is what our country is doing. It's just a grander scale.

That warning was all the chance we can afford to give. We are defending ourselves against future attacks. We told all the terrorist sponsoring regimes to get with the program or die. You get a chance to reform yourselves, but if you don't, you're toast.

I'm sorry guys, but you can't have it both ways. You can't demand that we prevent the tragedy of 9/11, and then demand that we not act pre-emptively against the bad guys when we think there might be a threat.

That isn't possible. How can you stop people from killing you if you wait until they kill you?

We either kick the ass of the terrorists and terrorist friendly nations or we wait until they attack us. If we wait until they "do something to us" you cannot go back and complain that the government didn't stop it. Actually, you can do that and that is exactly what the Left has been doing.

And if you want us to wait until we have 100%, no-doubt-about-it proof, you're pretty much asking the impossible. What's more, you know it's impossible.

Whatever. I'm sure that you will tell me that there are "nuances" to your positions.

Nuances are fine until our civilians actually start dying, then we need clear cut choices and you guys haven't provided any.

Time to open your eyes and ears. You can't blame people for not stopping something bad (9/11) with bad/vague intel, then complain that they are stopping something bad (Iraq) with bad intel, saying there's "no proof, they didn't do anything to us."

That's if you don't count firing on our troops, trying to kill a former President, and defying your surrender agreements, of course.

Ladies and gentlemen: Rapmaster Easter B.

In keeping with his pattern, Kerry promised to cut the programs he is proposing.

Kerry said that, if he is elected president, he will not let government programs outside of security and education grow beyond the rate of inflation, even if it means cutting money from some of his own campaign promises and existing government programs.

It's a very smart way to campaign. He's already telling us that he will promise anything and he may or may not deliver on them.

Here's another one:

"President Bush has no real economic plan for long-term prosperity and higher standards of living. I do, and at its heart is a strategy to create 10 million new jobs in the first term of a Kerry administration," the Massachusetts senator said.

It is a great strategy to promise to create "two million" more jobs than we actually need. Damn, he's good. Even the sainted Clinton couldn't employ every single person that needed a job with two million extra jobs just in case.

How will he do it? Eh, who cares? He's not gonna do it and he already has his out clause.

It is a mother's instinct to protect her child. Women will go to extraordinary lengths to save their child. Actually, most mothers would practically kill themselves to save any child. Motherhood really does change a woman.

Anyway, that story makes me glad I live in here. Damn, that is one tough momma!

Thanks to Big Al [Lil' Sis of All Evil]

Kate has made a request. Fly a flag on your blog since our troops in Iraq can't. That is a request I have no problem with babe.

The Blackwater commandos, most of whom are former Special Forces troops, are on contract to provide security for the U.S.-led Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) in Najaf.

An attack by hundreds of Iraqi militia members on the U.S. government's headquarters in Najaf on Sunday was repulsed not by the U.S. military, but by eight commandos from a private security firm, according to sources familiar with the incident.

Before U.S. reinforcements could arrive, the firm, Blackwater Security Consulting, sent in its own helicopters amid an intense firefight to resupply its commandos with ammunition and to ferry out a wounded Marine, the sources said.

Kos said that he supports the troops.

Does Kos support all veterans or only the ones that don't make more money than he does?

Let's put this in perspective. Nobody seems to mind when actors/actresses make millions for a movie. Nobody seems to mind when singers make millions for a song. People go to college to get educated so they can be successful ($$$$$).

EVERYBODY SUPPORTS THE TROOPS! I know that must be true because EVERYONE says it. Everyone (liberals) is crying about how the government isn't giving enough money/stuff to the vets.

But...

When a private company offers fat cash to ex-military. Offers to pay them big bucks because they are experts in their field and take big risks. All of the sudden it's "screw them". Or it's screw them because I have "bad memories" of my childhood.

Silly liberal! Facts are for conservatives...

A California attorney was trying to get the pictures of Vince Foster's death. He thinks they might prove Foster was murdered as part of a White House cover-up.

Thankfully, the SCOTUS found that there was no reasonable evidence of that. With one voice they told the attorney to piss-off.

The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that the government does not have to release 11-year-old photographs from the suicide of Clinton administration White House lawyer Vincent Foster because it would cause his family pain and intrude on their privacy.

The unanimous decision makes it more difficult to use a public records law to access federal law enforcement records from autopsies and death scenes. Justices said the privacy rights of survivors must be balanced against the public's right to information.

It was a good decision. You wacky conservative conspiracy freaks need to go home now.

Geoffrey went to a pro-Bush rally, in Boston, last night. The rally was conveniently located right across from an anti-Bush protest. Both were just a block away, behind police barricades, from the fundraiser Bush was attending.

According to reports, the pro-Bush crowd was peacefully chanting support and the anti-Bush crowd got loud and violent.

Well, what do you expect when you have a crowd of Ironworkers with "Fuck Bush" signs and megaphones screaming "Bush Sucks".

Blogger Matt Margolis and his twin brother were attacked by some union dorks.

``They told us to get out of here or we'd get beaten up,'' said Matt Margolis, 24, of Beverly.

``I said, `I support your freedom of speech - please support mine. Come on down and we can have a conversation.'

``He jumped down and swung on my brother. Then they all jumped in and tore our signs apart.''

Am I surprised by the violence of the anti-Bush protesters? No. Are you? Just re-affirms my belief that I'm supporting the right side.

Children, as young as 11, are having oral sex. They say it isn't really sex, it's a casual thing like a kiss goodnight. It isn't reciprocal either, which is unfair, but not really the issue. It's girls giving head to boys. It is seen as a way to preserve virginity. Boys are "uncool" if they haven't had a blow job before high school.

Oral sex is happening at parties, in school, on buses and elsewhere—it's the new Spin the Bottle. At some oral sex parties, boys line up in "trains," with each boy being serviced by a girl.

It's a problem when children feel having casual oral sex is no big deal. It's not just the "bad" kids, it's the "good" ones too. Talk to your children and don't assume everything is cool. Just because your little angel has straight A's, doesn't mean she's not playing the skin flute.

Please talk to your kids about sex.

I mean absolutely no repercussion. You wouldn't lose your spouse or significant other. You wouldn't catch any disease and you wouldn't go to hell. Just a one-time freebie to have sex with the person of your choice. Would you do it?

Would you choose someone famous or someone you know personally?

Last night, at the Radio & Television Correspondents' Association dinner Bush was poking fun at his staff, his opponents and himself. Very funny stuff.

Just a few Highlights:

President Bush opened his 10-minute remarks to the gathering with a reference to what he referred to as Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's "favorite show" on television. Those anticipating an "Apprentice" punch line -- the Donald, after all, was only a few yards away -- guessed wrong.

"Queer Eye for the Straight Guy," Bush said, generating a roomful of laughter. "My Cabinet could take some pointers from watching that show. In fact, I'm going to have the Fab Five do a makeover on [Attorney General John] Ashcroft."

If I can find a video clip I'll link it. The news channels are airing snippets and they were pretty funny. Here's some more:

From there, Bush went on to poke at his own malapropisms before unveiling a slide show titled "White House Election Year Album" that had the crowd chuckling. Yes, there were a few jabs at the Democrats, including a couple of shots taken at Democratic challenger John Kerry. Bush described a picture of himself doing what looked like the shuffle in the Oval Office in front of Condoleezza Rice as "here I'm trying to explain John Kerry's foreign policy to Condi." He also faked a phone conversation between Kerry and North Korean leader Kim Jong Il. "Hey, John," he said. "Kim Jong Il here. Just wanted to let you know, you're my guy."

Mostly, though, he put up dorky-looking pictures of himself. A recurring joke involved photos of the president in awkward positions -- bent over as if he's looking under a table, leaning to look out a window -- accompanied by remarks such as "Those weapons of mass destruction must be somewhere!" and "Nope, no weapons over there!" and "Maybe under here?"

Good to know the Administration is still looking for the WMD's.

Here is a little challenge. How many of Clarke's current accusations against the Bush Administration are debunked by Clarke right here?

Transcript from August 2002 Briefing:

RICHARD CLARKE: Actually, I've got about seven points, let me just go through them quickly. Um, the first point, I think the overall point is, there was no plan on Al Qaeda that was passed from the Clinton administration to the Bush administration.

Second point is that the Clinton administration had a strategy in place, effectively dating from 1998. And there were a number of issues on the table since 1998. And they remained on the table when that administration went out of office — issues like aiding the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan, changing our Pakistan policy -- uh, changing our policy toward Uzbekistan. And in January 2001, the incoming Bush administration was briefed on the existing strategy. They were also briefed on these series of issues that had not been decided on in a couple of years.

And the third point is the Bush administration decided then, you kno
