DEAN?!? All I can say is:
"YEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWW!"

By selecting a borderline Green, Howard Dean, as their new chairman, The Democrats have completed the transformation which began in the late sixties. Dean, a candidate who was too extremist to win even their own primary, will drive the Democrats to the left, to the extreme and to irrelevance.

The Democrats seemed to have ignored the message sent by voters last election. The message was we don't like neo-hippy extremism and we don't believe the extremists that represent your party. The voters decided that Al Franken, Barbra Streisand, Tim Robbins, Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon, Bill Maher, James Carville, John Kerry and Ted Kennedy were wrong.

The free elections held in Iraq this past month proved the voters were right.

There are voices of reason within the Democrat Party including people like Joe Lieberman, Zell Miller, Harold Ford Jr. These voices have all been smothered by an angry, bitter Democrat leadership. Picking Howard Dean, a man too extreme for their own base, the Democrats have effectively shut themselves out of the mainstream political debate.

ESPN SUCKS!


Someone please start a sports network that shows the following:

1. Sports
2. Sports News related to scores, results, statistics, and standings
3. Sports highlights


and doesn't:

1. Show programming barely related to sports.
2. Dwell on celebration dances
3. sports news dwelling on allegations about athletes and off-field/off-court antics
4. contribute to the cult of personality that has ruined modern athletics
5. Show poker and lumberjack competitions while cutting off real sporting events due to "time contraints"
6. become so self-important and self-absorbed that it lets it nightly sports show become a wasteful, hype-filled mockery of modern athletics.


Note to ESPN: We watch sports because we like Sports, we don't watch sports because we like you.

University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill has the right to compare 9/11 victims to Nazis. The people of Colorado and citizens of this country also have a right and a responsibility to demand Churchill be fired.


Actions have consequences. As much as the insulated world of academia likes to believe they exist in a vacuum, they do not. We would be remiss not to hold accountable the leaders of our academic community for their actions and statements.
In the private sector, a person who makes an ill-advised joke or comment can lose their job or, at minimum, be subject to disciplinary action.
Here we have an example of hate speech from a college professor.

Churchill has expressed a desire for “more 9/11’s” and that he wants the United States to be “out of existence”.

It’s one thing for some crackpot to run around on the city street corner to make statements like these. It’s quite another when a college professor is making them.

It’s not simply that most Americans disagree with his positions, although that issue should not be ignored. The man is employed by the state and lives on taxpayer dollars. The dichotomy between his views and the views of the people who employ him is reason enough for Professor Churchill to lose his job. He isn’t doing the job he is paid to do.

More disturbing is that a University professor, a person should be held to a higher standard of accuracy and intelligence, can make such vacuous and factually incorrect statements.
Ward Churchill’s connection with reality seems tenuous at best. Look at his comments about victims of 9/11 “locking (an Iraqi) child in a room and depriving the child of food and starving him or her to death.”

Apparently, this is a reference to the sanctions supported by the U.S. against Iraq prior to Operation Iraqi Freedom, which resulted in regime change in that nation.

One needs not to have attended the University of Colorado to know that the sanctions against Iraq did not even include food (or medicine) and therefore, no sanctions resulted in a single child starving. In fact, there were programs in place to provide the children and needy in Iraq with basic necessities. This while the leader of that nation, Saddam Hussein, continued a pattern of support for terrorism and murder, rape, beatings and kidnappings of his own people. Even as the world tried to help the victims of Hussein’s megalomania and Islamo-fascism, he was aggressively controlling and manipulating his people with a totalitarian iron fist.
Hussein’s lack of candor and cooperation with nations such as the United States resulted in the corruption of both the sanctions and the U.N. Oil for Food program as well as the suffering of the Iraqi people. Note: It was the actions and policy of Saddam Hussein that resulted in the suffering of the Iraqi people.
