What do you see here? (Note: Read between the lines.)

Priest who mocked Clinton told to take a leave
Written by Brandon Long Wednesday, 04 June 2008


...maybe the parishoners should take another look at themselves.

Cardinal Francis George has asked a Chicago priest to temporarily step down from his post to "reflect on his recent statements" regarding Hillary Clinton and her bid for the White House.
Last week, the Reverend Michael Pfleger mocked Clinton at Barack Obama's former church, saying the New York senator felt "entitled" to the Democratic nomination for president.
In a guest sermon at Trinity United Church of Christ, Pfleger pretended he was Clinton crying over "a black man stealing my show."
Pfleger's sermon, along with past controversial statements by Trinity's former longtime pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, led Obama to resign his membership at Trinity. Pfleger apologized for his comments Sunday.
Hundreds of parishioners crowded a service at Pfleger's church last night asking George to reinstate Pfleger and requesting a meeting with the cardinal. Pfleger was not at the service, but Wright did attend.
Pfleger, a 59-year-old white priest at a largely black parish, has gained a reputation for impassioned sermons and activism.

Between the lines:

Here is a person (Pfleger) who obviously preaches hatred and racism from the pulpit and he has hundreds of followers (parishoners) who want him reinstated. What does that tell you about the parishoners? Are they so well indoctrinated with Pfleger's hate sermons that they fail to see their own reflection. It has been said that the devil cannot be seen in a mirror...maybe the parishoners should take another look at themselves.

Gas Prices Too High?

Inflatable Car Can Drive Off Cliffs, Into Children's Parties

XP Vehicles wants to sell you and inflatable car that costs under $10,000. It'll be shipped to you in two boxes and take roughly two hours for two people to build. Completely electric, the car's light weight means it can get 300 miles on a single charge or up to 2,500 if you use their "hot-swap" technology. Oh, and its NASA-grade inflatable material—the same stuff used by our landers in space—is supposed to let you drive off cliffs and stuff.

Q. What’s all this about driving them off cliffs and floating them in floods and Tsunami’s? Are they really super cars?
A. The nature of the polymer construction, on those that use it, offers secondary advantages which are not part of the intended use but which could possibly provide additional safety in such circumstances.

It all sounds too good to be true until you realize that, best case scenario, you have to pick up your date in a freakin' balloon car. (Still, totally cool if you were one of those X-Games types and paint it Mt. Dew green, I bet.)

Only a slimy scumbag would know...

Hillary Spokesman Says Bill Clinton Regrets 'Scumbag' Comment

Monday, June 2, 2008 11:59 PM


Add to former President Clinton's regrets this campaign season a stream of invective while commenting Monday on an unflattering article in Vanity Fair magazine.

"President Clinton was understandably upset about an outrageously unfair article," Jay Carson, a spokesman for Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign, said after her husband's remarks appeared on the online Huffington Post, "but the language today was inappropriate and he wishes he had not used it."

Huffington Post writer Mayhill Fowler reports that she approached the former president while he campaigned for his wife Monday in Milbank, S.D., and asked for his reaction to the article "The Comeback Id" by national editor Todd S. Purdum in the July issue of Vanity Fair.

Purdum mulls the state of Clinton's mind given the wealth he has amassed in recent years, the negative impact he has had at times on his wife's campaign, his negative comments about her rival, Barack Obama, the company he keeps with jet-setting millionaires, and his health after heart surgery in 2004. In analyzing Clinton in more than 9,500 words, which include those of anonymous sources, Purdum asks, "What's the matter with him?"

Clinton had no doubt about what's the matter with Purdum, whom he called "sleazy" in the Huffington Post interview.

"He's a really dishonest reporter," Clinton said during the tirade that followed, according to Fowler's report. "And I haven't read (the article). There's just five or six blatant lies in there. But he's a real slimy guy."

Huh?

Just five or six lies...but I haven't read the article!

How can that be? Only a slimy scumbag would know...

and it takes one to know one Bubba!

Reminded that Purdum is married to his former press secretary Dee Dee Myers, Clinton responded in part: "That's all right - he's still a scumbag." The former president added: "He's just a dishonest guy - can't help it."

Clinton went on to observe: "It's all politics. It's all about the bias of the media for Obama. Don't think anything about it. But I'm telling ya, all it's doing is driving her supporters further and further away - because they know exactly what it is - this has been the most rigged coverage in modern history - and the guy ought to be ashamed of himself. But he has no shame. It isn't the first dishonest piece he's written about me or her."

A call to the New York office of Vanity Fair for comment Monday night was not immediately returned.

She wanted to talk to me...

Earlier today I was out and about the house...really just in the yard, watering the flowers and stooping occasionally to pick a weed when a slight breeze came about...the leeward side would be port and not the left as some would say. But the flutter from her breath hinted at something she wanted to say...and she did, she said, "Hi, I'm here. Don't I look just magnificent!" I looked up and answered, "Ye sure do! Will ya hold that pose for me just a minute?" She fluttered again with a smile and replied, "I'll be here..." So I rushed into the house to retrieve the camera before she lost her pose. I clicked the shutter just in time to see her wave...Isn't she just beautiful today!



Death To America? ...Be careful what you wish (vote) for...

We have two bimbos running for the highest office in the land, the most important job in all the world, one critical to the survival of the U.S. of A... These two, who have no conscience or sense of morality, should have long ago departed from the political scene when they were caught openly and deliberately lying to the very people they were soliciting for votes. No, they spite the people in spite of themselves...they fight the batlle for power for power's sake...to ultimately control the masses...
All this and more...and yet so disconcerning. The thing that concerns me more, that will have an enormous impact on the future of our country, is not so much the two bimbos...it's the millions of lemmings following them to the cliffs of doom...Need I say more? No, but please watch the movie below and find out who their friends are...

Added note: Could it be that all the lemmings are also followers of Saul Alinsky, Norman Cousins, et al Socialist-One-World-Order nuts? If so, we're in deep kimchi!
