Yes ladies and gentlemen.
Saddam may soon be swinging in the wind!
Now again. I usually do not celebrate the death of another person.
But some people are just SPECIAL.
I wont be cracking any CORONAS or anything but I know there are many Iraqi's that will be PARTYING in the streets following this one.
Of course the Baathist issued a warning on killing him.
Like it matters at this point.
Today Chavisimo himself said that he will not renew the license of the 2nd largest TV station in Venezuela. Now let me get this right? Liberals adore this guy right? He is the SOCIALIST/MARXISTS new CHAMPION is he not? So they must be dancing for joy that he is stepping one step closer to totalitarianism! After all he is following in his Daddies foot step. The bearded Dictator himself Castro.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has said he will not renew the licence for the country's second largest TV channel which he says expires in March 2007.
In an address to troops, Mr Chavez said he would not tolerate media outlets working towards a coup against him.
Radio Caracas Television, which is aligned with the opposition, supported a strike against Mr Chavez in 2003.
But the TV's head said there must be some mistake as its licence was not up for renewal in the near future.
I found this video over at Pat Campbell's site.
And I found it rather interesting.
Its been something that I have thought about for years.
The power of the mind. The power of manifesting / shaping your own destiny so to speak.
Similar to say setting a goal for yourself and reaching for that goal.
But not just reaching. Believing you can make that goal a reality.
Say buying a house. Finding that special someone. Getting that promotion.
Not something silly like wanting to be a POP star at 40 or something. LOL.
I mean really looking a goal be it in the business world or in your own personal life. Looking at that goal in your mind and grasping it.
Not thinking of what can go wrong cause it will. But thinking of what can go right because it will.
Ever hear the saying "Misery needs company?"
Well its the same thing for negative thinking.
If you think of negative scenarios you will in your own mind manifest those negative scenarios. And Vice Versa.
There is supposed to be a second part to this video but the link on google doesn't work.
Still the first part is interesting.
How quickly the internet is working today?
Telephone lines and Internet service went dead across much of Asia on Wednesday after two powerful earthquakes damaged undersea cables used by several countries to route calls and online traffic.
Repairing the cables could take weeks because crews have to pull them up and transfer them to a ship for repair, said Lin Jen-hung, vice general manager of Chunghwa Telecom Co., Taiwan's largest phone company.
Problem is they don't give a damn about him!
Story on Michelle Malkins site.
Who would have thought that the soldiers were.....
Educated and able to read the news?
After all. According to Kerry if you don't do well in school you get stuck in the military in Iraq!
Val over at www.babalublog.com has a great entry on the hell that Bolivia has become.
Through the eyes of a Cuban Refugee that left to of all places Bolivia!
I will be honest here:
Stealing fuel from the country's pipelines is a common and many times deadly occurrence in Nigeria. In May, at least 150 people died when vandals tried to tap a petrol pipeline outside Lagos.
"People try to siphon fuel from a pipeline, and after that, maybe an hour, a couple hours after that -- someone lights a cigarette or a motorcycle engine backfires, and an explosion appears," CNN's Jeff Koinange explained.
A Spanish surgeon who has just examined Cuban leader Fidel Castro said on Tuesday he is making a good recovery from intestinal surgery, does not have cancer, and could return to governing his country.
"His physical activity is excellent, his intellectual activity intact, I'd say fantastic, he's recovering from his previous operation," Sabrido, head of surgery at Madrid's Gregorio Maranon public hospital, told a news conference after returning from Cuba.
Counting on the support of the new Democratic majority in Congress, Democratic lawmakers and their Republican allies are working on measures that could place millions of illegal immigrants on a more direct path to citizenship than would a bill that the Senate passed in the spring.
The lawmakers are considering abandoning a requirement in the Senate bill that would compel several million illegal immigrants to leave the United States before becoming eligible to apply for citizenship.
The lawmakers are also considering denying financing for 700 miles of fencing along the border with Mexico, a law championed by Republicans that passed with significant Democratic support.
But Mr. Flake described himself as optimistic, saying the elections had disabused many Republicans of the notion that opposing legalization and guest worker plans would win widespread support.
“That illusion is gone,” he said.
The percentage of Hispanics who voted for Republicans fell to 29 percent, from 44 percent in 2004, and some Republicans say passing immigration bills is a crucial part of the effort to win them back.
Mr. Flake warned that some Republicans might balk at proposals like broadening the number of illegal immigrants eligible for a less burdensome path to citizenship, making passage of bipartisan legislation potentially “politically more difficult.”
One Giant LEAP for Sharia Law being implemented in the US.
Speaking in Dearborn late Sunday night, the first Muslim elected to Congress told a cheering crowd of Muslims they should remain steadfast in their faith and push for justice.
"You can't back down. You can't chicken out. You can't be afraid. You got to have faith in Allah, and you've got to stand up and be a real Muslim," Detroit native Keith Ellison said to loud applause.
Many in the crowd replied "Allahu akbar" -- God is great.
Applicants line up to fill jobs left empty by Swift plant raid.
The line of applicants hoping to fill jobs vacated by undocumented workers taken away by immigration agents at the Swift & Co. meat-processing plant earlier this week was out the door Thursday.
Greg Bonifacio heard about the job openings on television and brought his passport, his Colorado driver's license, his Social Security card and even a color photograph of himself as a young Naval officer to prove his military service.
"I don't want to hassle with any identification problems because of my last name," said Bonifacio, a 59- year-old Thornton resident of Filipino heritage.
Like many others who had mixed emotions about the raid, Maxine Hernandez said she was upset that families were torn apart, but believes illegal immigrants should not get work using fake documents.
"My whole family used to work there. My mom, my aunt, uncles," she said. "I guess it sort of runs in our blood."
Trump Hits back hard on the ugly behemoth herself Rosie O'Donnell.
Earlier this afternoon Trump announced he is filing suit against the TV talk show host. "She says things that come to her mouth, she's not smart, she's crude, she's ignorant and to be honest I look forward to suing Rosie," he told our cameras. "I'm gonna sue her and I look forward to it. She's really very dangerous for the show."
Yes everyone favorite little thief is back in the news.
This time its an update on what exactly Berger did with those Archive documents he STOLE!
President Clinton's national security adviser removed classified documents from the National Archives, hid them under a construction trailer and later tried to find the trash collector to retrieve them, the agency's internal watchdog said Wednesday.
I just needed to put it on my blog.
This is what a real father should be.
To bad there are so many dead beat dads here in America.
Fathers that remove themselves from their kids.
I can only wish to be as good a dad as that.
But I will sure as heaven try!
None of the major news sights are even reporting this on their front pages.
You figure something like Iran now reporting they have Nuclear Power is major news?
Something that would effect the nation here in the US. But nope.
Not a single one is even having it on their sub section pages.
Not CNN. Not FOX. Not NY TIMES. No one is.
Hmmmmm.....
Don't know why?
So once again the UN has done NOTHING to stop another Nuclear Power from rising.
All the security Council's threats of sanctions have gone RIGHT OUT THE WINDOW.
This shows once more that with no teeth a Speech is slurred.
They have hit a level that will now make them 100 times harder to not only talk to but also negotiate with. If there is such a thing to Iran. Negotiation seems to involve, them saying they will do something and the UN simply making a angry face.
Ahmadineajd: Iran now nuclear power
Iranian president: Our scienists have reached zenith, accessed nuclear fuel cycle
Iran is now a "nuclear power," its President, Mahmoud Ahamdinejad, delcared Wednesday, according to the Islamic Republic News Agency .
Saw this video on the CL forums and had to post it up.
The humor is there for effect but the similarities are obvious!
Stepping away from politics for a minute.
I saw this movie this weekend and have to say that Will Smith once again proves how versatile an actor he really is.
From his original Fresh Prince of Bel Air days to the action packed Bad Boys to the horrible Wild West. The man has proven that you don't have to stuck in one industry and stay there. Making the jump from Hip Hop to TV to the big screen. His story alone is worthy of a novel.
Will Smith has done some amazing movies and some not so great ones. With the great ones far out weighting the not so great ones.
This movie fits under the category of WONDERFUL!
The movie is of the short portion of the life of Chris Gardner. Coming from nothing to something through sheer will and determination. Something that many seem to forget is necessary in today's world to succeed.
The story is to me truly inspiring.
Its mostly revolved around what Chris and his son went through when his son was 5.
Think about that for a minute. In a world today where men seem to not even care about their kids this story of a MAN taking car of his son comes out. Truly AWESOME!
There are scenes in the movie that are symbolic I think.
Like the one of him just getting kicked out of his Motel and having to pretend with his son that Dinosaurs are all around him and they need to take shelter in a cave (subway bathroom).
The scene then shows Chris Gardner (Will Smith) holding back the doors of the Bathroom stall from someone pounding on the door while shielding his son from the noise of the pounding. Tears coming down Will's face in a truly symbolic scene. Such as life pounding away at their lives and Chris Gardner doing everything he can to hold that back from his son.
Most of the movie is Gardner running.
If its not running for his machine its running to get his son from day care.
Hence the Pursuit part.
The man is an inspiration.
Hopefully THE MOVIE and its main character receive more air time then 50 cent or any other rapper out there. No drug slanging or jail time for street cred. But sheer passion, determination and fatherhood. If more youths in the ghettos of America focused on these sorts of people our Ghettos wouldn't be looked at as Ghettos and more like just Neighborhoods.
A must see for everyone I think.
Will Smith should get an Oscar nod for his performance in this one.
And his son was simply ADORABLE! Smart kid. Great Little Will in the making for sure.
