The drieuxster's Happy Land

Are YOU as shocked as I am! To find out that the White House is Just One More Evil Sinister Dark Center of the Culture of Despair Populated by The Shirill Hysterical Angry Radical Extremists! Starting with the Tree Hugger In Chief, Himself!!!!!

President George W. Bush said he will invite congressional leaders to the White House next week to break the impasse over $100 billion in emergency funding for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In the meantime, the president said, the Department of Defense plans to notify lawmakers that it is transferring $1.6 billion from other military accounts to make up for the shortfall caused by the delay on the spending legislation.

The Bush administration and the Democratic-controlled Congress are at loggerheads over paying for the Iraq war. The president has said he will veto any war-funding legislation that contains timetables for withdrawing the troops and he didn't retreat when inviting lawmakers to a discussion.
[ cf Bush Will Seek Meeting With Democrats on War Funding (Update2) ]

What does one call it when one has begun to negotiate with Terrorists In the Middle of a War On Terrorism???

Shock! Shock! Oh Me! Oh My!!!!

How COULD the VOCHAS have allowed this collection of Shryll Hysterical Angry Radical Extremists to get into not only Congress, but now the White House...

Ah yes, there is the fun that the DOD is shifting $1.6 Billion to cover a $100 Million Dollar Emergency Funding Measure that, well gosh, How Could ANYONE have been able to Predict that there would be Military Obligations in Iraq and Afghanistan!!! It Was Gosh SOOOOO Inconceivable.

No Seriously, I mean it is just SOOOOO Inconceivable.

Gosh, it is bad enough that the DOD's "promise" that full National Guard Brigade Combat Teams would not need to return to Iraq - but must now go, because the VOCHAS are chickening out in record numbers, and running away from their War Rhetoric, but Now We GET This Brutal Assualt From the Shrill Hysterical Angry Radical Extremists who want americans to take Women Seriously, as if they were Real Born Persons and actual citizens of the Union!!!!

The coach of the Rutgers University women's basketball team took a positive approach Tuesday to the Don Imus racial insult scandal, calling on Americans to look closely at the players the radio host derided as "nappy-headed hos" and see them for the human beings they are.

"These young ladies before you are valedictorians, future doctors, musical prodigies," coach Vivian Stringer told a televised news conference a day after the uproar over Imus' comments led to a two-week suspension of his show.

"These young ladies are the best this nation has to offer and we are so very fortunate to have them at Rutgers. They are young ladies of class, distinction. They are articulate. They are gifted," she said.

Rutgers president Richard McCormick was more critical, calling Imus's words despicable, unconscionable and deeply hurtful to the players, students and their families.

"We cannot stand in silence and let these young women be unfairly attacked," McCormick said. "They did nothing to invite the words that Don Imus used."

I Mean, SHOCK! SHOCK! SHOCK!!!

Is it just SHOCKING that these Devil Worshiping God Haters are even allowed to walk around the streets brutally and viciously Attacking Christianity with their Sinister Fact Based Reality

US scientists conducting a comprehensive review of dieting research have concluded that dieting does not work.

The study is published in the April edition of American Psychologist, the journal of the American Psychological Association.

Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), reviewed 31 long-term studies lasting between 2 to 5 years.
...
Although this study reviewed 31 long term dieting projects, they did not look into specific diets.

The researchers are of the opinion that weight loss programmes are not good value for money in the treatment of obesity.

"The benefits of dieting are too small and the potential harm is too large for dieting to be recommended as a safe, effective treatment for obesity," said Dr Mann.

Between 1980 and 2000, the proportion of obese Americans has doubled, from 15 to 31 per cent of the population.

HOW SHOCKING!!!!

Clearly if those People WOULD ONLY Bask In The Glow that comes from Accepting the Divinity Of Dubya, and from accepting that ONLY By Dubya can one be Saved, will these people abandon their Brutal And Vidictive HomoSeXual Assault on our white Christian America...

The United States is to file two complaints against China at the World Trade Organisation today aimed at stopping the piracy of copyrighted movies, music, software and books.

US Trade Representative Susan Schwab said one case argued that China set too high a value on pirated movie or music discs before prosecuting violators while the second objected to Chinese restrictions on the sale of foreign books and movies.

Motion Picture Association of America president Dan Glickman said the WTO complaints were long overdue. "This is something our industry has been frustrated about for a long time," he said.

How TYPICAL of the Evil Shrill Hysterical Angry Radical Extremists that they Run Away From The Fight to the Big Bad One Worlder Klique of God Hating America Bashers at the WTO rather than Support the Troops to Total And Glorious Victory over China!!!!

Nor is it at all suprising that these Defeatist Cut And Runners are doing all of this to protect Their Red Hollywood Elitist God Hating America Bashers!!!!

{ and before you sneeze your evil liberalism, remind me again

HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT WE ARE NOT MORE AT WAR WITH CHINA THAN EVER BEFORE!!!!

make sure not to commit the Apostate Demonic Sin of suggesting that some sort of Failed pre-911 Evil Demonic Secular Humanist Reasoning could be used to defend the Fact that one wants to Stab The Troops In The BACK rather than Support them to Total Victory Over the Peking Pay Masters And their Evil Modern SeXular Humanist Gay HomoSeXual Pirate Canadianists!!!!

And remember to make two clear and compelling references to The Divinity Of Dubya as a part of your Postion on Why You have ALWAYS supported the Most Glorious of Total Victory Over the Peking Pay Masters And their Evil Modern SeXular Humanist Gay HomoSeXual Pirate Canadianists!!!!

Hey Kids, you knew it was coming, Medicine is a Fraud Bent Upon Stealing From Americans

Few topics are more likely to cause argument among doctors than the influence of religion on healing, but a survey suggests most physicians bring their ideas about religion into their practice, U.S. researchers reported on Monday.
...
A new study may give clues about why, said Dr. Farr Curlin, a University of Chicago researcher whose findings appear in this week's Archives of Internal Medicine,
...
"This is yet more evidence that doctors are not just objective, neutral scientists. Their religious or secular commitments influence the way they respond to patients and the way they interpret data," Curlin said in a telephone interview.

Curlin and colleagues mailed a survey in 2003 to a random sample of 2,000 practicing U.S. doctors aged 65 or younger from all specialties. Some 63 percent responded and the average age of respondents was 49.

They found that 85 percent of those surveyed believe religion or spirituality is generally positive, but only 6 percent say it often changes "hard" medical outcomes, reflecting some sort of miraculous healing.
...
"Their doctor's own religious beliefs will influence how the doctor responds to the patient's spiritual concerns," Curlin said.
[ cf Religious bias colors doctors' views: survey ( emphasis mine ) ]

SEE!!!! SEE!!! SEE!!!!

We TOLD YOU that there was no Medical Crisis Out There - Only a Crisis Of Faith!!!!!

There are Those who support the Divinity Of Dubya, and Those Who Oppose God and are on the Side of the Terrorists And Demonic Forces Of Satan...

Or something to that effect...

Hey Kids, what is the American Case Law on Torturing Americans Illegally?

U.S. District Judge Marcia Cooke stressed in a 12-page order filed late Monday that she was not passing judgment on the torture allegations. Rather, she said the effort to dismiss the case for "outrageous government conduct" was faulty on legal grounds.
...
In her ruling, Cooke said the dismissal motion wasn't backed up by case law and failed on legal grounds because prosecutors aren't using any evidence collected during Padilla's time in the brig.

To rule otherwise would "effectively provide a defendant with amnesty for any uncharged crime so long as the government violated the defendant's due process rights at some prior point," she wrote.

She warned, however, that the issue could return should prosecutors decide to use evidence from Padilla's interrogations.
[ cf Judge rejects Padilla torture argument ]

Interesting, very interesting.

One More RADICAL BLACK ROBED JUDICIAL TYRANNY trying to legislate from the Bench that the Government may not be allowed to use evidence Derived From Torture....

WOW!!!!!

I Mean Where WILL This Shryll Hysterical Angry Radical Extremism End????

The founder of the "Girls Gone Wild" video empire was taken into custody by federal marshals early Tuesday to face a contempt of court citation after initially defying a federal judge.
...
He drew the contempt citation during negotiations in a civil lawsuit brought by seven women who were underage when they were filmed by his company on Panama City Beach during spring break in 2003.

Lawyers for the women told U.S. District Judge Richard Smoak that Francis became enraged during the settlement talks, shouting obscenities at the lawyers and threatening to "bury them." Smoak ordered Francis to settle the case or go to jail for his behavior.

WOW!

I mean, to think that the Evil Shrill Hysterical Angry Radical Extremist Black Robed Judicial Tyrannts would Seek to So BRUTALLY inject themselves into the Flow Of The Free Market!!!! And act as if they were the VERY Invisible Foot that Moves The Market....

And that because some Non-Male-Perkin want to advance the Radical Gay HomoZeXual Agenda that Non-Male-Perkin are People Too.... I mean, where will it Stop???

It is JUST TOO DISGUSTING FOR WORDS!!!!

And to Think That OUR Valiant Fighting Forces are at this very moment On The Bulwark Of Freedom Keeping A Free World Free While These Black Robed Judicial Tyrants are Involved In Stabbing them in the Back!!!!

Then over the transom comes this piece:

There's much concern that the Bush administration has been allowing the infiltration of federal government by Christian fundamentalist "sleeper cells," political appointees whose first loyalty is not to the Constitution, but a reductionist understanding of the Bible. It's true, of course, and here's another one...

In my latest Rolling Stone story, "Teenage Holy War" (only the first quarter of it's online, here; the rest is in the issue on the stands now) I wrote of one such character, Rebecca Contreras, whom I saw "lecture" at the east Texas Honor Academy of Ron Luce, a fundamentalist youth leader:
[ cf Yet Another Sleeper Cell" ]

Yes, read the article, do the back ground work ( Honor Academy, Ron Luce and Battle Cry Campaign ) an interesting trilogy of technical reads...

and yes, there is also the comedic fun of

My GOD ! There are about 150 graduates of Pat Robertson's Regent University within the Bush Administration, almost like a huge Al Qaeda sleeper cell !.... Well, not really ; for one thing, Al Qaeda terrorists don't, as far I'm aware, publish their affiliations on public websites, and a "sleeper cell" that can be outed by a few minutes of Googling isn't much of a sleeper cell, is it ?
Actually, I doubt Monica Goodling or her other Regent University cohorts worried about secrecy much. It actually wasn't, up to now, at all necessary because nobody was paying attention.

The extent to which that's true can be gaged by the willingness of most people on the left to swallow hook line and sinker David Kuo's claim, put out last October to tremendous fanfare, that the Bush Administration secretly loathed Evangelicals. The claim was more than dubious when it was made, and it was gobbled up with gusto by those who wanted the Christian right to magically vanish.
...
Indeed, the House GOP Minority Speaker considers it OK to court an advocate for worldwide nuclear war. We've come a long way indeed.

I guess it could get worse, but, wow, another group of folks who are not buying into the Retro History, did you know that there is a Liars For Jesus: The Religious Right's Alternative History. WOW!!!!

What if SciFi had to go back to it's Political Roots and support The Diggers in their Struggle?

One of the two people to whom I talked asked a question and offered a frightening comment: "Have you been in any peace marches? We ban a lot of people from flying because of that." I explained that I had not so marched but had, in September, 2006, given a lecture at Princeton, televised and put on the Web, highly critical of George Bush for his many violations of the Constitution. "That'll do it," the man said."

And These Folks Are More Or Less Patriotically Corrector Than Whom???

So when folks want to talk about The Constitution, Really, PLEASE, be honest, and accept that the classical standard is that the Onus Of Proof is upon those seeking to change the status quo ante.

Which in this case is the somewhat unpleasant state that the constitution of the united states of america is merely a historico-religious Icon, and should not be confused with a document, text, or legal standard.

someone made sure that everyone in the world was warned that the president had been protected:

Credit Ford Motor Co. CEO Alan Mulally with saving the leader of the free world from self-immolation.

Mulally told journalists at the New York auto show that he intervened to prevent President Bush from plugging an electrical cord into the hydrogen tank of Ford's hydrogen-electric plug-in hybrid at the White House last week. Ford wanted to give the Commander-in-Chief an actual demonstration of the innovative vehicle, so the automaker arranged for an electrical outlet to be installed on the South Lawn and ran a charging cord to the hybrid. However, as Mulally followed Bush out to the car, he noticed someone had left the cord lying at the rear of the vehicle, near the fuel tank.

"I just thought, 'Oh my goodness!' So, I started walking faster, and the President walked faster and he got to the cord before I did. I violated all the protocols. I touched the President. I grabbed his arm and I moved him up to the front," Mulally said. "I wanted the president to make sure he plugged into the electricity, not into the hydrogen This is all off the record, right?"
