Fat Meathead Kennedy!!!

In today's Washington Post Ted "can't drive" Kennedy has an article about the Judiciary confirmation process and namely attacking Roberts and Alito. He takes their very short body of decisions to attack what they stated in the hearing and what they actually practice. Of course Kennedy is going to complained because these justices ideology is a strict interpretation of the Constitution.

Kennedy cites a couple of cases of which one demonstrates he is a racists and deliberately tries to manipulate the facts to get his point a cross that Alito and Roberts attack civil rights. The case he brings up is the Texas Redistricting in which the majority stated that Latino Americans were disproportionately effected and the a district as designed did not allow for Latino's to have their own representative. Now, if anyone looked at which district was singled out you would be is disbelief because that district is represented by a Latino, Congressman Bonilla. What the court and Kennedy are both saying is that district does not have the proper representation i.e. Latino's should be represented by Democrats and not a Republican which Mr. Bonilla is. This soft racism is always in the eyes of the elite that were raised and educated in white posh liberal institutions.

Another case that was cited, was regarding the environment. The court finally curtailed the power grab from the Army Corp of Engineers determining navigable waterways that were designed to protect wetlands. The court said a puddle that may lead into a navigable waterway is not considered a wetland under the law. Kennedy says this is an attack on the environment. No Mr. Kennedy it is an attack on the government seizing property without compensation and making sense of a law that was unjustly enforced and interpreted by an Executive Agency. Oh, and then Mr. Kennedy says that the above justices gives to much deference to the Executive, but I guess not where Mr. Kennedy thinks deference should be given such as the Army Corp of the Engineers that is part of the Executive Branch.

Mr. Kennedy you are disgrace to your country, state, and family. I would suggest take a nice slow walk through the BIG DIG (Pig).

Holla, Holla!!!

So, yesterday I was heading to Happy Hour to meet my friend that was recently evacuated from Beirut when who do I see DMX. Yes, the paroled rapper. As I was walking to the ATM and 18th Street Lounge, I see this guy on the sidewalk with a remote control helicopter. Now it was this that caught my eye and when I looked up I laughed and said hey that is DMX.

My first question was why the hell is he hanging south of Dupont in front of his White Hummer playing with a remote control helicopter. Then I was thinking I thought he was on parole. So, I did what came natural and took a photo of him with the cell phone in which he gave me some frigging gang sign.

Well I proceeded to the lounge for a few Sapphire and Tonics and conversation with my recently rescued friend and his friends. The conversation was good until the political situation was discussed. I kept hearing the word proportionality and "I was there." I believe Israel has a right to defend itself and I hope Lebanon will be strong enough to suppress the Hezzbolah, but until then Israel has a right to destroy those that threaten the safety of its people. Unfortunately, the conversation ended because the tension was rising and I had to head to another party.

The Apple Store

I must applaud the assistants at the Apple Store. As I was looking around and then realized I could check out the Red Sox score (they lost) on their computers I heard this young African American singing. At first I did not realize it was an African American, but by the lyrics that were coming out the mouth of the patron it had to an African American because anyone else would probably be killed in a matter of moments. He kept yelling (singing) nigga this and nigga that.

I turned around to see who it was coming from and yes I was right, it was a young African-American. Others just looked and were shaking their heads and then the Apple assistant went over. He told the kid that that type of language is inappropriate and is not welcomed at the store. The kid complied without any protest. I must say in this day and age I was amazed the guy said something, but good for him.

Well 3 out 5 is not bad!!!

WTO

This past weekend in St. Petersburg , Russia was hoping for a trade with the United States that would pave the wave for its entry into the WTO. As of today, Putin is still waiting for that trade agreement that will probably be reached sometime in the summer of 2007. America and the EU have main concerns, especially Putin's consolidation of Russia's natural resources and companies under the power of the government. One only has to look at what happen to Lukos.

What was Russia's immediate reaction to not reaching a trade agreement with the United States, it delayed trade deals with US companies seeking energy deals in Siberia. Russia wants to open up its industries for capital and improvements without losing control, but one must realize that political agendas are different from corporate concerns. A corporation is run to make a profit and serve the public in order to make a profit. A government is to serve the people and use its influence to benefit its people.

What Russia should have demonstrated that it was willing to pass laws that would protect property rights. Not only pass laws, but reform its justice system in order to ensure fairness and procedural due process. Russia should have also approved the deals with the American Companies as a gesture of good will allaying the fears that Russia would use its natural resources as way to influence and control foreign policy.

Then again US is using Russia's entry as a tool to influence it to side with America in its fight against terrorism and the development of nuclear weapons in hands of mad men. Putin should realize that a scorpion is always a scorpion know matter how nice you are to it and eventually it is in their nature to strike. Putin is playing a dangerous game with the United States and it placating the scorpion to the south Iran. Eventually, once Iran obtains dominance over its former Persian Empire, it will seek to strike into the lower under belly of Russia to aid its "Islamic" brothers.

Hezbollah Needs to stop this shit

I have no problem with the President using profanity. I do have a problem with him talking with his mouth full. I don't think Mother Barbara will be to happy with her boy.

So, off course the media has to make comments that Bush is detached and really does not know foreign policy. He believes he can turn on foreign policy and shut it off. These are pundits that were probably praising our engagement with North Korea and Syria. The showers accolades of appeasing terrorists and forcing Israel to the table.

First, Israel has an absolute right to defend itself. Israel is the only real democracy in the region that values life and rights. Yes, their tactics may be harsh, but irrational individuals only know and respect power. The use of the IDF is measured to reach certain goals and objectives. The missile attacks into Israel are to terrorize civilians and indiscriminately kill.

Second, you can never negotiate with terrorist only demonstrates weakness and allows them to regroup. For six years, Hezbollah has been unimpeded in south Lebanon and the new government is to weak to enforce. Do not think for a moment that if the Lebanonesse Armed Forces were able to force Hezbollah out of Lebanon they would not. People must remember that Hezbollah is sponsored by the Persian extreme Shiite state while the majority in the region are the more "progressive" Sunni.

Third, having Israel eliminated Hezbollah will strike a blow for Iran use of this proxy terrorist force against the West. It will also divert resources from Iran trying to destabilize Iraq and will allow US to conduct covert operations from Iraq and Afghanistan into Iran. The United States must not lose the bigger picture and that is to contain Iran and its nuclear program. Once Hezbollah is weaken the US and Europe should deploy NATO troops to south Lebanon to protect Israel to and aid the fledgling democracy of Lebanon.

Fourth, the main stream media can go to hell. All they do is criticize what efforts this Administration has done to combat terrorism. They believe you can negotiate with animals. Negotiating with terrorist only legitimize their actions of killing innocent civilians.

The Mideast

It appears that the missile launches in Korea, the attacks on Israel and Iran continuing its nuclear program is more than a coincidence. It appears that Iran is behind what is occurring today. They are the ones the control the Hezbollah economically and provide arms. All these actions are to either distract the world while Iran continues the development of nuclear weapons or worse a mideast war.

No matter what Israel has a right to defend itself and has hit strategic areas to prevent supplies and communications from reaching Hezbollah. Unfortunately that means my friend who left DC on Friday for Lebanon will not be flying out of Beirut. That is what he gets when he sides with terrorist just like the liberal media does with cause celebre of Hamas and Hezbollah.

The always said the end of the world will start in the mideast.

The Weekend

1. I feel bad that I did not see one of my friends play their gig. I also feel bad that I did not pick up the phone to go out for some drinks when she need to talk to someone, but I was involved in extracurricular activities.
2. Sometimes, I find it funny when people think they can manipulate and lie, hoping that I will never figure out what is going. However, I'm very analytical and suspicious person that will always investigate.
3. The internet is a great place to out to find out such information.
4. So, when I confronted the person I thought was a friend, he kept telling that I assume to much but when I revealed the information I found out he told me I was right. I replied so I did not assume to much and that I was right therefore you lied to me and violated my trust.
5. As I left his apartment he said will I see you again. I turned to him and said no, plus I just deleted your number frm my phone.
6. He tried to call but I was too busy to pick up the phone.
7. I'm now trying to reassess my life and priorities. I've been lied to before and I have forgiving them, but for some reason I don't think I can forgive this person no matter how many times he said sorry.
8. Who knows time might forgive all or forget, we will see.

P.S. I hope my friend is enjoying his little expedition rowing in circles in the Pacific.

Observation

So, I was watching Jon Stewart's the Daily Show and this woman from the WAPO was hawking her book about partisan politics.

1. Why is it I never heard about partisan politics when Democrats were in control?
2. The premise was the partisan politics is a direct result of the one thing Democrats and Republicans can agree on drawing districts the preserve incumbents.
3. Now having said this she states that a politician can say what ever the want and get away with it because the people of the district think the same way.
4. She then says we need to end this incumbence control so we can get a Congress that is more representative of the American people.
5. Look at point 3 and then point 4.
6. As for point 3, don't the people want a politician the is like them to accurately reflect the views of that individual constituency.
7. As for point 4, maybe Congress does not reflect the authors view of what she believes is representative of American people. She is after all a reporter that knows it all and does not have to leave the beltway to gage what Americans rely want in a politician.
8. It is interesting that when the media takes polls it is done on a national scale, yet, Congress is chosen based on individual districts that have their own concerns different from a national consensus. Thus, what the WAPO author believes is the view point of the American general population coud be different based on individual district concerns.

Policy/Dunkin

When the President wants to make an important announcement regarding immigration policy where does he go to announce it, that's right Dunkin Donuts where else. It just so happens to be a Dunkin Donuts that I frequent. So, I'm sitting at my computer with the TV next to me on MSNBC when all of sudden the President appears on TV with the owner of Dunkin Donuts. I said to my co-workers that is the DD that I get your donuts from.

This is the same DD that I said a melting pot, so, I guess the President's vetting team concurs with me. I was laughing because the woman over the Prez's left shoulder always ask if I'm married and would I marry her. I then say why, tarajete verde. The ladies begin to laugh and say si. This is the same DD that I helped a woman with her citizen's exam, but I found the exam a little out dated and gave her the current answer, but told her the correct answer at the time the exam was printed.

See even the President likes DD.
