Awww — AP Opines Plight of Illegals in Texas
September 22, 2008
Lifestyle
Those poor, poor “undocumented citizens.” The Associated Press makes the case this morning, the apparent bias oozing from the headline: Legal and illegal, Latinos labor to rebuild Texas. Expecting an obvious slant considering the headline, the authors did not disappoint with the liberal lamenting.
Ike brought a wide swath of destruction, and with it the prospect of more work, higher wages and a respite from the ever-present threat of deportation. In recent months, many day laborers say, jobs in the Houston area had started to dry up, and police and immigration officials had been cracking down.
To sum up feelings on both sides — of both the illegal workers and the pro-illegal liberals — one Honduran immigrant had this to say:
Without us, how would they build Houston again? Without the work of our hands, there would be no way to move forward.
Well, you sure won’t find one of these whining liberals out there “working”… unless it’s to report on the plight of these laborers making $7 per hour, while the liberals sip on cups of chai that cost an hour’s work for these laborers.

Venezuela’s Chavez Paranoid - Sampling the Goods?
September 11, 2008
International
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is acting highly paranoid and marginally delusional, leaving third-party observers to wonder if Chavez may have fallen victim to the peer pressure of a high-currency drug trade whose home front is Chavez’s own country. According to the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, Venezuela is a a major transit point for cannabis and coca-derived illicit drugs.
In an Associated Press article, it is reported that Chavez has ousted U.S. Ambassador Patrick Duddy over concerns that the United States government is involved in a covert plot to have Chavez removed from power. He is quoted as saying, “They’re trying to do here what they were doing in Bolivia,” and, “That’s enough [expletive] from you, Yankees.”
Chavez recently invited Russia to deploy two Blackjack bomber aircraft to Venezuela, which U.S. officials have dismissed as inconsequential. Of the bomber delivery, Chavez said, “The presence of those Russian planes in Venezuela is a warning. There’s nothing better to keep yourself from being attacked than to dissuade.”
To provide some background, Chavez also referred to George W. Bush as “the devil” at a United Nations meeting, commenting that he could still smell sulfur in the room after Bush had left.
That must be some serious weed!

McCain Seals Obama’s Fate with Veep Pick Palin
August 29, 2008
Politics
By selecting a fresh young face from the Republican party, Alaska Governor since 2006, Sarah Palin, John McCain has all but sealed the deal on being elected the next President of the United States. With Obama slipping in the polls, a jaded left-wing base due to consistent about-face policies since the primaries, and an even more confused liberal constituency after declining to put Hillary Clinton in the back seat of the POTUS “dream team,” the McCain campaign has lined up to be the real party of change by selecting a woman for the position of Vice President - the first time a woman has ever been nominated for a real chance at winning.
The pick reinforces McCain’s stance as a “maverick” in political realms, as Palin has often stood out from the Republican crowd and refused to toe in for the sake of party unity — a quality which appeals to both younger voters and independents. Selecting Palin also essentially cinches women’s votes across the country, since an aging McCain would leave a highly capable and idealistic woman in the most powerful political position on the globe were McCain unable to fulfill a four-year term. Another key positive to a McCain-Palin ticket is that Palin provides a fresh, young, beautiful face to an otherwise aged “look” — something the Obama camp has held a monopoly on, until now.
With Obama’s jaded liberal base and gaped-jaw leftist observers still stunned over the realization that Obama’s brand of change seems to be little more than rhetoric after months of policy flip-flops and a mired-in-Washington Biden selection for V.P., the McCain campaign has brilliantly solidified the slippery slope of media favoritism and side-stepped the snowball rolling faster and faster down the media mountain.
While independents have never much cared for either party, this move paves the way for real change in American politics, brought to you by the Republicans. Who would have thought?

Entire Year of Biden History Removed from Wikipedia Since Pick
August 24, 2008
Politics
h/t to Tom Blumer at NewsBusters for pointing this out and having the foresight to cache Wikipedia’s page prior to the Senator’s selection for Obama’s V.P.
Among the information that has been removed, is a section on 2004 which accurately noted that Biden discouraged his own nomination for John Kerry’s V.P. in favor of … *drumroll* … John McCain. Check out the article over at NewsBusters.
