Dental Health: Abscessed Tooth

You do NOT want this. It is what I have right now.

Babs, you are off your meds again

UPDATE: Hotair is in on the same issue. Cool.
OK, here goes.

The gavel lady.

(After Boxer squabbles about the length of Inhofe's questions to Gore...)

Inhofe: Why don't we do this? At the end, you can have as much time as you want to answer all of the questions...

Boxer: No, that isn't the rule. You're not making the rules. You used to when you had this (holding up the gavel). You don't do this anymore. Elections have consequences. (Audience cheers)

Now, it's one thing for the audience to cheer.
From Newbusters:
But CNN anchor Don Lemon couldn't help chiming in, too

CNN anchor Don Lemon just couldn’t resist editorializing over liberal Senator Barbara Boxer’s slam against a conservative colleague, James Inhofe. During the 3pm EDT hour of the "CNN Newsroom" program, anchors Lemon and Brianna Keiler played a contentious exchange between Boxer and Inhofe in which the Democratic Senator chastised the Republican for interrupting former Vice President Al Gore’s global warming testimony.

The complete transcript: Boxer and Rice

I posted the following at Newsbusters:

SEN. BOXER: And you don't seem to be willing to, A, admit a mistake, or give any indication of what you're going to do to forcefully involve others. As a matter of fact, you've said more misstatements; that the territory of the terrorists has been shrinking when your own administration says it's now expanded to 60 countries. So I am deeply troubled.

MS. RICE: Senator, may I respond?

SEN. LUGAR: Yes, let me just say that I appreciate the importance of Senator Boxer's statement. That's why we allowed the statement to continue for several more minutes of time.

SEN. BOXER: I'm sorry, I lost track of time.

And then
SEN. BOXER: Well, if you can't admit to this mistake, I hope that you'll --

MS. RICE: Senator, we can have this discussion in any way that you would like. But I really hope that you will refrain from impugning my integrity. Thank you very much.

She is a creep. Doesn't she realize we catch this stuff? What a HYPOCRITE, big mouthed, grrrrr DEM!

I feel better now.

Death to Christian schoolgirls! Death for drug possession! 20 years for Islamic militants!

UPDATE: Charles posted this:

The Indonesian monsters who slaughtered and decapitated three Christian schoolgirls, and claimed it was done as an act of “Islamic charity,” were given disgracefully light sentences today in Jakarta: 20 years for the leader, 14 years for the accomplices. Given Indonesia’s history of releasing Islamic terrorists who’ve only served a fraction of their time, don’t be surprised if we see them out again in a few months.

And note that even beheading school girls doesn’t qualify you for the “terrorist” label, according to the Associated Press.

As Charles Johnson is fond of saying: There are no words.

The Jakarta Post reports that Islamic militants who were caught following the beheading of three Christian schoolgirls in 2005 have been sentenced to death... just kidding! They're getting 14 to 20 years in prison.

Barack Hussein Obama Practiced Islam, Now Runs From It w/ Warp Speed

The most hilarious thing about all of this is the speed with which Barack Hussein Obama and his staff are running from Islam, and the lies and spin they keep trying to attach to what is, in fact, true. He was a Muslim. He was educated as a Muslim. He was a practicing Muslim.

Read the whole thing.

Guest Post: Rep. Duncan Hunter on the Captains Quarters

Some of the key points:

I returned this week from a fact-finding trip to Iraq where I met with top U.S. military commanders in Baghdad, Ramadi, and Fallujah and was briefed by Iraqi Army and police officials.

In a letter to the President, I made several recommendations and attached a sample schedule for three-month field operations for all 129 Iraqi battalions, a plan that can be executed within the next six months.

Once the Iraqis are capable of taking responsibility for their own security, then we can rotate American troops home with the knowledge that Iraq is not a threat to our nation and will not be a state sponsor of terrorism.

At this critical point, the members of Congress who are engaging in political posturing, while our soldiers are carrying out their mission, are doing a real disservice to the troops. Let me add that if the Democrats were to cut off reinforcements and supplies to our troops in Iraq, our troops will never forgive them and I don't think the American people will ever forgive them either.

I know I won't.

John Edwards blog: Fox Attacks

Update: From Michelle Malkin.
Who knew it would be Dennis Kucinich had the stuff.

“I’m prepared to discuss the war, health care, trade, or any other issue anytime, anywhere, with any audience, answering any question from any media. And any candidate who won’t shouldn’t be President of the United States.”

Amen sir.

From Drudge. Emphasis mine throughout.

Oh brother. What a PANTY WAIST this guy is!

Enough is enough. It's time to send a clear message to Fox News and their allies that their right-wing talking points and temper tantrums won't go unchallenged anymore - when it comes to what Democrats should do in the Democratic primary, we'll decide - no matter what they report:

OK, now that MY little "temper tantrum" is done, give me money....

https://johnedwards.com/action/contribute/fox

And I return you to your regularly scheduled program, already in progress...

Fox News has already proven they have no intention of providing "fair and balanced" coverage of any Democrat in this election.

Predictably, he gives NO examples. When has Fox been anything but polite to Democrats?

In recent weeks they have run blatant lies about Senator Obama's background. And Fox was only too happy to give Ann Coulter a platform to spew more hate a few days after her bigoted attack on Senator Edwards and the gay community.

Again, predictably, he gives NO examples. What lies? Where are the links? Where is the defense of those lies?

And yet, now who is lying? COULTER: It isn't offensive to gays. It has nothing to do with gays. It's a schoolyard taunt, meaning wuss. And unless you're telling me that John Edwards is gay, it was not applied to a gay person.

Now it's time for Democrats to stand together and send a clear message to Roger Ailes, Fox News and all the rest of them: bias isn't balance, but turning tables is fair.

And all the rest of them? Who? What other sources are so unfair?

The truth is, Fox News can "report" whatever they want. And when it works for us, we'll deal with them on our terms. But this campaign is about responsibility and accountability, and we need to send the message to Fox that if they want to be the corporate mouthpiece of the Republican Party more than they want to be an impartial news outlet, they shouldn't expect Democrats to play along.

First of all, Brit Hume is a wonderful journalist. Probably the last one left. This is such an insult, and an insult to anyone who watches Fox. Fox posts the biggest audience in cable regularly, and this is just insulting. Fox viewers are not drones.

Doesn't it strike anyone a wee bit ironic that this man is talking about responsibility and accountability and yet hires the those hounds from hell to run his website?

They will deal with Fox on THEIR terms? Just what are those terms, sir? Again, empty words with no substance. And will you deal with our enemies by simply saying neener, neener, neener, and taking your marbles home to play, as you are now by not facing Fox? Oh what COURAGE, what STRENGTH you show.

An empty suit, this man.

Does anyone really think, that if he cannot handle the heat in the Fox kitchen, how will he handle Amadinnerjacket? Putin? Kim Jong Il? Assad? Hamas? Hezebollah?

Feh. The Panty Waist and the Pant Suit. Sounds like a sitcom to me. What a bunch of morons are running for President.

Marching on Selma

Best analysis on the recent Selma march I have read yet.

So what good can possibly come from having a bunch of rich, Northern politicians come to town and stir up old memories of racial hatred? None whatsoever. It only makes it worse. Racism is effectively dead in Alabama nowadays. Blacks serve in government from the city level all the way up to the state legislature. School segregation ended decades ago. Black businessmen and professionals are doing quite well. I know. More than a few of them are my friends.

No, this spectacle in Selma over the weekend was not about civil rights. It was about getting people to vote for idiot Senators who haven’t done a darned thing to help Selma economically. Even worse, they don’t plan to help the town any time soon. Witness the fact that while these bloviating egos were in Alabama, none of them took time to visit the recent tornado-ravaged region just southeast of Selma where people were still looking for bodies and digging out from destroyed homes and schools.

(Note: President Bush was in the tornado-ravaged region of south Alabama, offering assistance, declaring it a disaster area and trying to help the people get back on their feet.)

"Religion of Peace": Muslim Doctor Severs Infidel Cadaver Hand for Stripper, Gets Slap on Wrist

Emphasis mine throughout.

Muslim doctor, Ahmed Rashed, MD, who now practices medicine at Maimonides Medical Center in New York (Hello, Maimonides? Anyone home . . . ?), severed a hand from a cadaver in New Jersey and gave it to a stripper as a gift (how romantic). In response, you'd think he'd get some jail time and certainly lose his license to practice medicine.

BUT YOU WOULD BE WRONG. No, for stealing a dead person's hand, he got a slap on the wrist. Actually, not even that. The idiotic New Jersey judge (**** UPDATE: he's New Jersey Superior Court Judge Frederick DeVesa ****)--who AP unfortunately declined to name; why?!--set aside sentencing for 15 months, and told Rashed he will drop all charges if Rashed stays out of trouble. And he can still practice medicine. All he got was a $5,000 fine. It's absurd. Beyond absurd.

This isn't the only thing about this case that is disturbing to me.

Rashed gave the hand to exotic dancer Linda Kay, 31, during a visit to the club where she worked. He got to know her while he was a first-year medical student in 2002. She wanted a cadaver's hand, authorities said, and he complied.

She WANTED it? What for? Why isn't she in trouble too? Did she know the deceased? Why did she ask for it? What did she want to do with it? Animate it like Thing on The Addams Family?

The Price They Pay for Survival

From Gates of Vienna

Reason #4,323 to support the Minutemen...

It seems that when woman employ the “guides” that take you across the Mexican -U.S. border (called “Coyotes”), one thing these women must endure is the routine practice of being raped and as a visual reminder to all that come after —her bloodstains are left in the dirt and her panties are hung from the branches of a tree.

- - - - - - - - - -

“This is the picture that pro-immigration advocates don’t want you to see....

It is time the American people put a stop to the travesty of our open borders. It is time to understand that “open borders” means they are open to every kind of evil, including gang rape and human trafficking.

For any decent, law-abiding American, to see a rape tree is to gaze upon the face of the enemy of civilization. To see the blood-stained ground beneath them is to behold the faces of their victims...

[…]

It would seem that any self-respecting feminist would have to be against the illegal immigration that gives these horrible people the power and opportunity to treat woman and children this way...

I cannot add any more to this. Go to Gates of Vienna and see the image.
