DEM HYPOCRISY ON PORT ISSUE"If a citizen of the UAE walked into an airport in full burnoose and flowing robes, speaking only Arabic, Democrats would be deeply offended, and might even sue, if the security people were to give him any more scrutiny than they would to my sweet 84-year-old mother. Democrats loudly denounce any thought of racial profiling. But when that same Arab, attired in business suit and MBA, and with a good record running ports in 15 countries, buys P&O, Democrats howl at the very idea of allowing Arabs to run our ports."

Heh. A Politician Speaks
A sound byte I like.
STRONG OPPOSITION"In regards to selling American ports to the United Arab Emirates, not just NO, but HELL NO!"

Controversy, Crap and Chaos
As a result of the White House press corps boo-hooing over the Cheney shooting and failing to call them in the middle of the night, across the Blogosphere there's a new mantra being bandied about.
It's an alliteration thing, using three C's. Some call it Confusion, Crap and Chaos, some use my header above, or any variation of the two. Then a photo-shopped photo is used as the "logo", as it were, of the "Confusion, Crap and Chaos" slogan meant to epitomize the Mainstream media.
Here's an example but the variations of the theme across the blogging realm are many.
On Being All That You Can Be
You must have long-range goals to keep you from being frustrated by short-range failures. --Charles Noble Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal. --Pamela Vaull Starr We know what we are, but know not what we may be. --William ShakespeareLeaving With a Smile
The wisdom of Anonymous
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find that man.

"Again something Limbaugh used to preach to us and frankly I resent the change of tune he's recently adapted to please the administration."
May I suggest that Limbaugh is NOT a man to follow. He is nothing more than a noisy self-promoter who has found a (temporary) stage among the extreme rightwing. Were it to pay more he would be equally vociferous for the leftwing. He has no principles.
Part of our discomfiture with the Dubai Ports deal is that we all KNOW that our ports are not properly regulated for security. they are wide open, per an ideological belief of our leadership. It really makes no difference whether a US or Bubai outfit runs the ports: either one would sell US security for the right dollars. What we need are strong security regs, inspections and requirements no matter who has the management contract. But I fear this is anathema to our rulers.
