Iran's Plans On Its Website

Bah ... they've been chanting Death to America since I was in 7th grade! No need to worry. They are just misunderstood. . .

Gas Demand: 10 Year Low

Posted By Lee Spain

If gas gets to be $4 or $5 a gallon, my wife and I have decided to become Big Screen Americans. Instead of cruising, we're gonna buy a big arse TV and get used to watching Pay-per-View.

Interpol Arrests Journalist for Muhammed Tweet

Posted By Lee Spain

Gee, if that happens to someone who merely questions his faith for a day and lets an ill-considered tweet fly, I wonder what Saudis think of us here in America?

Oh wait . . . I think they let us know in no uncertain terms. :S It doesn't bode well for the integration of Islamic culture into the west.

NYPD Monitoring MSAs

Posted By Lee Spain

Fine by me. Of course, part of my 9/11 response would be to add the phrase "except for Muslims" to each right in the bill of rights and expel all non-citizen Muslims. In the years since 9/11, I have seen little to change that assessment. We still don't have any allies we can trust in the Muslim world. We still have Muslims in the U.S. trying to attack us or successfully attacking us (as in the Ft. Hood shooter).

Intelligence agencies should monitor all Muslims, determine if any are actually enemy infantry operating in violation of the Geneva Convention, and then launch military strikes to neutralize them as needed.

Republican electorate resembles that of 1890

Posted By Lee Spain

Oh no! Republicans are . . . are . . . white people! That oughta be a crime! wink

However, I think this election is going to teach bible-thumping social conservatives a lesson. If the GOP doesn't build a bigger tent by 2016, they'll be in trouble.
