Covert Airline Owned by CIA - You'll never guess what it was called

I saw the story on FoxNews earlier and it cracked me up. The story was the 15,000 or so "employees" of the CIA airline are seeking benefit status with the government. That's not the part that cracked me up. Fox hasn't posted the story yet but I did find information on the airline on wikipedia. Ok, here's the funniest part of the story, the name of the airline was AIR AMERICA!!! Those crazy liberals must be fuming and trying to change the name of their radio station!!! Air America Radio shares the name with a CIA covert operation???!!! You can't make this stuff up!!!

This is quickly becoming one of the most viewed videos on You Tube ... and its just Delta's new inflight safety video ... see if you can figure out why. Hint: Teenage boys like You Tube!

Uh Oh! NY Gov In Hot Water

No .... the "new" New York Governor .... no I'm not kidding. The Democrats are just side splitting fun. Oh we Republicans had the wide stance Senator ... but the Democrats ... the hits just keep on coming.  

Oh, and here's my favorite line in the story: "Politicians are barred from using campaign funds for personal expenses. Paterson has said he may have "inadvertently" used his campaign credit card when his personal card didn't work."

And this guy is going to be running one of the largest budgets in the world. And they want to run your healthcare tooooooooooooooooooo!

Obama's General: We will be in Iraq for 100 years.

Uh oh! I am beginning to question Obama's judgement. No really.

First he stays with a hate ranting Rev for 20 years and then puts him on his campaign. Now his General. The one who accused Bill Clinton of McCarthyism (ya know ... I'm still not sure what that means) ... apparently thinks we'll be in Iraq for 100 years. Hmmm. Isn't that what Obama has been slamming McCain on? Oh never mind.  This from Hot Air.

Bill Clinton "We Need A President Who Loves America"

The Clintons ... gotta love em ... he's still a country lawyer. He'll spin this away today but the jury's already heard the comment ... and he knows it. Anyway ... here's the video of Bill's "it sure would be nice to have two American lovin candedates". I left Chris Matthews expression on the end on purpose. Also classic.

Waiting For Goredot

I was just looking for a reason to use that line ... ever since I saw the play in college. There's really no news here ... and Democrats won't get the joke ... but the Republicans will ... wait maybe even the Democrats will.

CNN last night did a story on election changing endorsements still hanging out there ... Gore (check), Edwards (check) and ... well I post em ... you decide. But I couldn't stop laughing ...



Umm ... yup they are king makers for sure.

China's Ruling Party Paper Urges 'Crush' of Tibetan Protests, McCain Joins Criticism

Photo and story from From Fox News: "The flagship newspaper of China's ruling Communist Party called Saturday for efforts to "resolutely crush" anti-government demonstrations by Tibetans, while Beijing urged people to turn in those on a "Most Wanted" list of 21 protesters."

Fox News continues its front page coverage of the Travesty in Tibet. The Chinese are trying to win the battle not just with force but the media as well, trying to portray the Tibetans as thugs and murderers. The Tibetans are a peaceful people which makes last weeks riots difficult to understand. Perhaps as Peter Brookes told us, they've just had enough of being relegated to a second class status. Here's Fox Video from last night.

Meanwhile John McCain has finally joined the fight by stating the obvious. Courage.

"The people there are being subjected to mistreatment that is not acceptable with the conduct of a world power, which China is," McCain said in response to a question by a Chinese reporter. "There must be respect for human rights."

Obama LovescAmerica Damnit

Bill to Obama: "I think it would be a great thing if we had an election year where you had two people who loved this country and were devoted to the interest of this country," said Clinton

Obama supporter Gen. McPeak to Bill: "I grew up, I was going to college when Joe McCarthy was accusing good Americans of being traitors, so I've had enough of it," McPeak said.

Hit and run on the Clinton campaign. Classic! As for McPeak ... yeah I am so sure he was scarred for life by the Joseph McCarthy hearings. Memo to the General: thanks for your service ... ummm ... there were communists in the government.

Morning Joe ... Hey Everyone's Grandma is Like This

Now not only had Barack thrown his grandma under the bus, but now the MSM is throwing every one's grandma under the bus. Tiki Barber, Mika Brzezinski , and Joe Scarborough on Morning Joe this morning.




Ya know the MSM is doing everything they can to cover this guy's mistakes. Here's the original Obama statement. Why do they have to indict everyone to cover their own missteps.

Tibet Update: Troops Converge On Tibet, Pelosi Meets with Dalai Llama

The situation continues to deteriorate in Tibet ... "The government stepped up its manhunt Friday for protesters in last week's riots in the capital of Tibet, as thousands of troops converged on foot, trucks and helicopters to Tibetan areas of western China."

Meanwhile the Dalai Llama is showing some amazing courage: "Almost half a century after he fled to India, the Dalai Lama has raised the extraordinary prospect of travelling to Beijing and holding face-to-talks with the Chinese regime in an effort to resolve Tibet's most serious crisis for two decades."

But there is some hope as the US continues to put pressure on China to back off (publically and as Peter Brookes told us yesterday privately). "While standing next to the Dalai Llama, she denounced "China's oppression of people in Tibet." "If freedom loving people don't speak out against China's oppression of people in Tibet, we have lost all moral authority to speak out against any oppressed people." Amen Madame Speaker!

Passportgate

"The State Department says it is trying to determine whether three contract workers had a political motive for looking at Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's passport file." The story from AP

I'm with Glenn Reynolds on this one. Make sure you read today's one liner! And make sure you follow his two links ... this stuff just cracks me up.

Update: Blogger comment on the Democrat Taylor Marsh site (via instapundit): "Anderson Cooper on CNN tonight asked apologetically, "I don't mean to be cynical, but isn't this story just taking the focus off the Rev. Wright story?" Duh?lowdowndog 03.21.2008 - 01:29 am"

My guess ... this story and the McCain Iran AQ statement ... both non stories.

Obama Continued

Powerline has audio of the Reverend Wright's replacement at the Trinity Church in Chicago ... John asks the relevant question ...

"Obama is no fool. He knows that this is insanity. So why will he not unequivocally repudiate the unscrupulous demagogues who sow racial division by suggesting that white Americans are trying to commit genocide against black Americans? "

You'll find our post on this here ... but in a related post ... John also wonders ...

I've expressed admiration for Barack Obama's political skills, but maybe, in a time of stress, his inexperience is beginning to show. In an interview earlier today, he referred to his grandmother--the one he slandered in his speech on Tuesday--as a "typical white person."
