    Iran wants Hollywood to say “sorry” for exercising the freedom of speech! 

    A CNN article today wrote that Iran is demanding an apology from Hollywood for it’s “insults” on their “rich culture”.  These “insults” have occured over many years, according to Iran’s state-run ISNA news agency.

    This makes no sense at all to me!  Their President can get on the airwaves denying the Holocaust ever happened and call the Americans every nasty name in the Iranian play book but all hell breaks loose there if anyone ever says something even mildly challenging to Islam or Iran as a country.  I think that anyone who believes like this has some evolving left to do.

    Intelligence Insulted 


    Link: CNN News

    I am trying not to get political in this blog but I read this article today and felt ill. Am I the only one who notices the fake politicians from the genuine ones? Hint: If a politician is pretending to be religious at campaign time but you hear nothing religious out of them at other times … they’re fake.

    Senator Clinton is one of the most fake politicians that I’ve ever seen.

    John Edwards is a close second. Both of them are an insult to the intelligence of the American voter.

    Barack, although I disagree with him on some issues, is at least genuine in demeanor and doesn’t patronize voters with canned responses to questions and typical campaign rhetoric.

      Why don’t you at least put your leanings in your “about” section?

      See too me, you are a radical right winger. Probably doesn’t bother you. Just like if you called me a left winged hippie it doesn’t bother me.

      It is just that you are attempting to be moderate, but you are not. That’s perfectly fine, I am glad we have people with more extreme positions. It encourages debate. It also challenges the middle orthodoxy that tend to get nothing done.

      By the way, I forgot to post in one of your previous entries, who are the drug using former hippie polticians that are ruling this country now? You mean our coke head, drunk driving president?

    National Leadership Award Scam 

    I was targeted by the Republican Party as a fund raising scam. They tried to scam me out of $500 to get my name on some stupid advertisement in the Wall Street Journal, a gavel, and invites to the Presidential breakfasts in Washington.

    I decided to call the number that the left for me on the answering machine (1-877-213-0603) a call this afternoon to see what this was all about. The lady told me that I was being honored and that I have already won. Immediately, this started to sound like a sweepstakes scam.

    Next, she told me that I would have the “honor” of having my name listed with a bunch of the other suckers -err- co-chairmen in an advertisement in the Washington State Journal. All that I needed to do was to contribute $500 to their cause .. tax cuts.

    I’ve voted mostly Republican for most of my voting life but this scam alone has given me a big shove to the left. What honorable party would take advantage of people like this?

    They didn’t get a dime from me and I hope that everyone else was that wise.

    Reference: Here are some others who where contacted by these republican scam artists.

      I have received the same “award” and very quickly figured it out to be phoney but I would not be so quick to assume that it is the Republican Party….It sure would be a great way by liberals to discredit or make the Republican Party look bad.

      Wikipedia states that it is a campaign technique used by the National Republican Campaign Committee…
      Look at this website:
