Huckabee's Dream State: California Tells Citizens What They Can Eat...No Trans Fats

This is liberalism at its finest and Mike Huckabee's dream come true. People can't be trusted to take responsibility for their own actions. I guess the Huckabee weight problem is the government's fault? Someone must've pinned them down and made them eat jelly doughnuts.

Sanders: The End of Lu?

It's pretty well-known that Lu Hardin sees himself as the next governor of Arkansas. His latest imbroglio doesn't bode well for that ambition. Look for him to lay low for a few years and then spend several years trying to remake his image. Look for Dusty McDaniel to remind people when the next gubernatorial elections rolls around.

Democrats Still Interested in Who Leaked Plame Name...Not Interested in 500 TONS of Yellow Cake Uranium Found in Iraq...

Democrat congressman, John Conyers, is calling for further investigation of the leaking of Valerie Plame's identity, despite the fact that we know who did it (Richard Armitage) and the fact that she was NOT a covert operative, which is the only thing which would've made it illegal.

Meanwhile, there is absolutely no interest on the part of democrats and liberals (including Max, John, and friends) to draw attention to the fact that Joe Wilson was WRONG. Saddam had WMD.

Schools Looking at 4 Day Weeks...Promoting Gang Membership???

How on earth are we going to prevent kids from joining gangs if they aren't at school at least 5 days of the week??? I thought after school programs were the way to deter gang membership, based on the theory more time in school gives kids a productive alternative.

Batman/President Bush...My Thoughts Exactly

I had the exact same thought while watching the Dark Knight, recently. The thought was that President Bush is just like Batman. He's hated for fighting terrorism. If you haven't seen the movie, do. It's very good. The parallel is striking. Check out the Andrew Klavan has to say about the parallel for the Wall Street Journal.

Robbing Peter to Pay Paul: Tyson Profits Plunge...Thank You, Ethanol Subsidies

Let me get this straight. We have to subsidize ethanol for it to be produced. Why would that be? A. it is less fuel efficient than gasoline, B. it cost more, and C. it gives your vehicle less power...

Now, the cost of beef is up, the cost of chicken is up, the cost of corn is up. Food all across the board is up. And gasoline has to compete with a subsidized fuel. That couldn't have anything to do with inflation, could it? Yea, subsidies!

Sowell Responds to Brummett's Dismissal of Facts

Well, sorta. It really has nothing directly to do with Brummett's recent suggestion that facts aren't as important as "the truth" (read bias).

As always, a very good column.

Beebe Asks for Multiple Budgets Proposals from State Agencies...One to Cut 7%

I'm glad to see that my pleas are getting some attention at the governor's office. It should be a goal of the state to reduce spending and return money to the taxpayers every session.

It's unclear whether the governor is calling for a cut in actual budgets or in baseline budgets, that is, in what had been projected for the future. It appears it might be the former.

Obama Snubs Wounded Troops on World Tour

Super duper patriotic Barack Obama didn't have time to visit wounded troops on his recent world tour. I'd lay good money that he didn't want to be embarrassed by troops who might suggest that it's not very patriotic of him to call for our surrender, as he and the democrat party have been doing for years. Here's the link.

Iraq Kicked Out of Olympics

Claiming that its rules prohibit influence on national olympic committees, the IOC has banned Iraq from the Olympics. I guess they didn't think Saddam Hussein executing and torturing athletes was political influence. That must be why they let athletes compete under his regime.

It couldn't possibly have anything to do with international elites hating a free Iraq, could it?

Here's the link.

Barack Hubris Obama

Barry has just finished up his world tour, a premature victory lap. This trip has been the most presumptuous and arrogant affair in American history. It almost reminds me of Dewey in 1948, only the election is still months away. Obama is acting as if he's already won.

This piece from ABCNews offers a sickening glimpse of what a presumptuous snob Obama really is.

Shackles Legal

Sharon Dobbins is an odd woman. Still married to her husband despite his admission of sexually assualting a child, she had "compassion" for female inmates. Maybe it's not about sticking up for women to her, just criminals...

The 8th Circuit has decided rightly that it isn't unconstitutional to shackle pregnant female inmates.

The good news is that it died in the Senate after 83 members of the House voted for it. Here's that link.

Max Mocks Lesson in Basic Economics Offered by Repub Legislators...Offers NO Alternatives

Why should he offer an alternative? He wants high oil prices.

Max somehow misses the calls by democrats to dip into the strategic petroleum reserve and demands for more production from OPEC. Dems act as if these will lower oil prices, but won't admit that more domestic production will lower prices, as well.

Full of his own immaculate brilliance, Max chuckles at how silly it is to prepare for the future by bringing more supply online in the future.

He also eagerly ignores the drop that occurred when the president announced lifting the ban on off-shore drilling.

In the meantime, kudos to these Republican legislators for taking a stand.

As I Was Saying, Saddam Had WMD

As you might have surmised, by now, I'm daring Max Brantley, John Brummett, and friends to admit the fact that Saddam had WMD, including 500 TONS of yellow cake uranium. They're so deep in the tank for the Joe Wilson hoax, though, that they don't have the guts to admit some very simple facts.

This just keeps coming back to John Brummett's admonition that "the truth" is more important than the facts. Here's the link.

My apologies to these monkeys for the association with these ne'er-do-wells.

Joe Wilson: No Comment...As I Was Saying, Saddam Had a Nuclear Program

I have some close friends who once supported the war and now don't. Like Max Brantley and Joe Wilson and despite the evidence, they don't believe that Iraq had a WMD program.

Maybe this will help change their minds. Probably not, but Saddam did have a nuclear program.

Life Without Guns: Perspective on Gun Control

This is absolutely NOT meant as an insult to the LRPD or any other police department. Many of my friends are police officers.

It's just a thought on life in a liberal's dreamworld of unarmed, honest citizens.

I've linked to a remarkable set of statistics compiled by a gun control group in an attempt to demonstrate that guns kill "children". Note that they've stretched "children" past the even ludicrous age of 18 to include 19 year old "children". They somehow miss the obvious conclusion that these "children", ages 15-19, who constitute almost all of the gun violence in their stats, are mostly victims of gang violence.

"Community Organizer"...Chicago Style...ACORN, Another Shady Association

Having cut his teeth with ACORN, I'd say one has to wonder about Barry's background as a "community organizer". ACORN, of course, is the group of radicals which has been prosecuted countless times on voter fraud charges. Also, Max brought us the story recently about its leadership embezzling $1 million. I guess even radical socialists are greedy.

Iraq Continues to Improve, Max Continues to Ignore

The Arkansas Times, like the New York Times, only prints the news that fits (their agenda). That's why you won't read about the continued good news from Iraq. It's a perfect example of Brummett's recent column explaining that "the truth" is more important than facts.

Here's the link.

Scare Tactics: Environmentalist Playbook- Gore Announces 10 Year Deadline to Stop GLOBAL WARMING!!!...

...Note that he isn't saying that GLOBAL WARMING!!! will be apparent then. I'm reminded of Ted Danson warning that our oceans would be destroyed in 10 years if we didn't do something. We didn't do anything and 20 years later the oceans are somehow still vibrant and alive.

Here's the link to Algore's randomly selected doom and gloom prediction.

FYI: Despite the embarrassing fact that Ted Danson was wrong and admitted to using scare tactics about the ocean, Oceana, a kook leftist "save the ocean" group, named an award for him. The Ted Danson Ocean Hero Award was established in 2003, which was 15 years after his 10 year prediction.

The Victimization of Barack Obama

From SlickBarry.com

---

Even though Barack Obama has raised more money than any politician in history, his campaign wants to maintain the image of an underdog, a high-minded, squeaky-clean candidate who has been smeared by the big money Hillary Clinton campaign and the Republican attack machine.

The real question, is where are these attacks coming from? A conspiracy theorist might say that Obama's own supporters are creating well-timed, well-orchestrated attacks on their own candidate. Why? Here are some examples:

1. Opinion polls show many Americans think Obama is Muslim. He can't just come out and make a speech saying "I am not a Muslim" without a reason, for fear he'll offend Muslims or insinuate there is something bad about being Muslim. So the liberal, Obama-supporting New Yorker magazine published a controversial cover "satirizing" Obama as a Muslim. Obama is now allowed on a national stage to once again say "I am not a Muslim" without having to bring the subject up himself. He can also attack the "right wing", as if they are calling him a Muslim. He is a victim.

2. Obama makes a speech to supporters, and calls Americans "embarassing" for not being bilingual and wanting English as an official language. This is a reminder of his disdain for the working class, his "bitter" and "clinging to guns and religion" comments. The very next day, his supporter Jesse Jackson (whose son is Obama's campaign co-chair) makes a "cut his n**s off" comment on camera which swamps the news, makes Obama the victim, and mutes the bilingual story. (You didn't see it on TV, did you? See the video at http://slickbarry.com/)

3. Obama refuses to repudiate Rev Wright for his racist, anti-American preachings, and the criticism keeps gaining momentum. The media is calling for Obama to reject the Reverend, but Obama has already promised the press that he can't. At the controversy's peak, Wright inexplicably shows up at the National Press Club and repeats all of his comments again. Now Obama has his chance to repudiate the man for repeating the same statements, and of course, he does. Problem solved. Once again, Obama is a victim at the hands of his own friends.

As I Was Saying...Max Brantley (Libs, In General) Want High Fuel Costs

He doesn't want coal power. He doesn't want natural gas production. He doesn't want oil production.

Sooooo, what's his solution to high energy prices? Well, it doesn't appear he has one. Like Barack Obama, Max and other liberals want high prices.

Iraq: Yeah, About that 500 Tons of Yellow Cake Uranium...

I bet you didn't know that our military captured over 500 TONS of yellow cake uranium in Iraq.

There was no mea culpa from Joe Wilson or the Arkansas or New York Times. As far as they're concerned, it doesn't exist. One of our stated purposes for invading Iraq was to seize Saddam's WMD. We have since found rockets equipped with nerve gas and operable facilities for producing more WMD and, now, we know that Saddam had 500 TONS of yellow cake uranium.

Why do you think Max and his ilk are ignoring this? That's a real conundrum (sarcasm).

Pelosi Calls President "a Total Failure"

This is from a House Speaker who has been unable to accomplish anything other than naming some post offices. She has succeeded in one thing, though: leading congress into single digit approval ratings for the the first time, ever. That means that the president, who is according to Pelosi "a total failure", is more than 3 times more popular than Nancy.

Shhhhhhh!!!! It's a secret. Here's the link.

Not surprisingly, no comment from liberals who accused the president of lying about WMD.

Federal Wilderness?

Turns out that Congressman Barney Frank thinks this should qualify as a federal wilderness. Why's that, you might ask? Well, like the democrat opposition to drilling in ANWR, Congressman Frank wants to keep our energy prices high.

Turns out that a terminal to offload LNG (liquefied natural gas) has been proposed for the river.

Time to Tax Natural Gas Pipeline

The evil natural gas companies are at it again. Now they're trying to cheat the state out of all the money we'd get if natural gas had to be trucked out of the state. Think of all the revenue from we won't generate from diesel fuel taxes. That being said, it's high time we put a tax on this proposed pipeline. They have plenty of money. I mean, they're planning on hiring 1,350 employees for the job. Also, think about the pristine Arkansas wilderness that will be destroyed by its construction.

Halter Defends Misuse of State Funds for Lottery

Oppose the lottery? I pointed out not too long ago that the Lite Guv is using our money to push for it. This is a misuse of taxpayer resources and he owes us an apology and he needs to reimburse the taxpayers.

Here's the link to Halter's "defense" of using our money for his cause.

This is especially offensive considering the lottery initiative has raised nearly half a million dollars. It's time they reimburse us for this misuse of our money. Here's the link.

President Bush Calls Democrat Bluff, Lifts Ban on Off-Shore Drilling

Now the ball's in the court of the democrat congress, which claims to support drilling, now. They have to turn the other key, now.

In the interim, oil companies need to start applying for the necessary permits and leases. Either the democrats will let it slide, to avoid having to act, or they'll get caught when it's becomes obvious that congress has to act as well.

USGS Gives Lake Maumelle Clean Bill of Health

After having watched "Troubled Water", the AETN propagandamentary, I have to ask how much it would cost to treat the water so as not to destroy the value of thousands of Arkansans' land. That never comes up. Aside from the fact that there is no pollution in the lake, despite the current amount of development, where is the evidence that people who drink out of Greer's Ferry, Hamilton, and Beaver are sick? What's that? There is none. How can that be? If that's the case, why are the kooks so dead-set on preventing land owners from using their land?

Here's the link.

Fair Share?

I've had it up to here with liberals claiming that the wealthy don't pay their "fair share". The top 1% now pays nearly 40% of the tax burden. I'd say it's time for some tax cuts for the rich.

This is disgusting. These liberals are pure socialists stirring up class warfare when the rich pay way more than their fair share.

Mount Shasta Glacier Continues to Grow...Despite "GLOBAL" WARMING!!!

I'm not sure how this could be, since "GLOBAL" WARMING!!! is supposedly, well, global. How can "global" warming cause a glacier to grow? We've all heard, by now, that Mount Kilimanjaro's glacier was shrinking because of GLOBAL WARMING!!!. Aside from the fact that this is caused by local deforestation, shouldn't the growing of Mount Shasta's glacier be proof of GLOBAL COOLING!!!?

Democrat State House Candidate Fined By FDIC

Tom Akin, a self-proclaimed "chicken catcher", D-Russellville, it turns out, was fined by the FDIC last year for violations of federal banking regulations. Akin has brushed aside suggestions that a fine by the FDIC is a serious matter. As a member of the Arkansas General Assembly, Akin would wield significant influence over the Arkansas's Bank Commission.

John Ed Chambers, owner of Chambers Bank, who was also fined by the FDIC for the same violations, has donated $2,000 to Akin's campaign.

I've linked the FDIC fine agreement below.

John Fund has an extra about Huck's endorsement of world class porker Don Young, famous, as I pointed out earlier, for the Bridge to Nowhere.
