From Michelle Malkin: GUN BANNERS LOSE IN SAN FRANCISCO

Not that such a thing would happen in our town, but the rejection of this insane San Francisco ordinance gives Damsel and I comfort knowing that our enthusiasm for home defense and sport shooting is still available for a few sane folks in the Moonbat City by the Bay.

Angelides’ Deception of the Day

In the campaign already underway for the California Governorship, both sides are cranking up the rhetoric. Phil Angelides recently criticized Governor Schwarzenegger’s performance with regard to education in the state. The Governor’s camp produced this in response:

Fresno schools Superintendent Dr. Peter Mehas issued the following statement:

“As an educator of 44 years, I am disappointed that Phil Angelides continues to bring his negativity and pessimism to one of the most important issues to Californians — education funding.

“Like a typical politician, he is distorting the facts by using data from 2003 to talk about our schools. Angelides ignores that Governor Schwarzenegger has put unprecedented amounts of funding towards educating our students. Two years in a row he raised per-pupil funding, bringing it to over $11,000, which is more than $1,400 higher than just two years ago. Governor Schwarzenegger is fully funding our schools, while Phil Angelides offers no real plan — just his promises for higher taxes.”

Dr. Peter G. Mehas is the Superintendent of the Fresno County Office of Education.

ALGOR and the Enviroloons

We’ll all be roasted! The Earth is going to overheat and we’re DOOOOOOMED! Quick — someone call ALGOR and the Enviroloons!

Al Reuters on Al Gore:

Al Gore hopes to train a thousand messengers he hopes will spread out across the country and present a slide show about global warming that captures the essence of his Hollywood documentary and book.

The former vice president, a Democrat Moonbat (ed.), said on Monday that by the end of the summer he would start a bipartisan education campaign to train 1,000 people to give a version of his slide show on global warming featured in the film “An Inconvenient Truth” and book of the same name.

If you’re not particularly panicked by this, then you may already have seen our archive of articles on the environment.

UN — A Danger to America

Just who do these %$@#!? people think they are?

United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan’s deputy, Mark Malloch Brown (a Briton), assailed the United States yesterday for “withholding support from the United Nations, encouraging its harshest detractors and undermining an institution that,” he said, “Washington needed more than it would admit.”

Well that’s a crock — we really do not need the UN nor any of the crap they spew!

US Ambassador John Bolton strongly rebuked Brown’s remarks. He said further that “to mitigate the damage to the United Nations” was for Annan to “personally and publicly repudiate this speech at the earliest possible opportunity.”

I have a better idea — just get us out of the UN and kick their freeloading asses out of the United States!

(Ahem!) The theme of this post gives me the opportunity to call attention to our revamped “Four Dangerous Men” animation, usually seen in the bottom of the sidebar.

UPDATE: More proof that Kofi and the entire kit and kaboodle needs to just get the %$@#!? out!

From Annan’s spokesman:

“The secretary-general stands by the statements made by his deputy. So there is no question of any action to be taken against the deputy secretary-general.”

Screw the UN and the hearse they ride out on . . .

A Good Start for 2006

Yesterday, California held it’s primary elections. Of interest to us, locally, was the race pitting our over-developing mayor and city council against challengers who ran on a “less-development and fix the infrastructure first” platform. Damsel and I often noted the outrageous development and resulting load to the streets, sewers and other services in the city. Today, we have a new mayor and two new members on the council, displacing cronies of, and the soon-to-be former mayor.

Also of interest to us, were two propositions on the statewide ballot; one under the guise of “Reading and Literacy Improvement and Public Library Construction and Renovation,” and the other would place 4-year old children in “free” pre-schools for a year. Both would unnecessarily fleece taxpayers for progressive/socialist purposes. In other words, pump more money into failed educational systems and increase debt. Fortunately, both went down to defeat.

There was also a national interest in the results of Congressional District 50 to the south of us; the district vacated by “Duke” Cunningham when he admitted to bribes. Republican Brian Bilbray emerged victorious after a costly and contentious special election race against Democrat Francine Busby, a local school board member. That’s a good thing since the Democrats would have been given a net gain had this woman been elected. And who knows what momentum it may have stirred up for them.

All in all, we were satisfied with most of the election results, and look forward to re-electing Arnold as governor and electing Tom McClintock as lieutenant governor in November.

Racist Wins the Race

I understand why voters in California vote the way they do — they continue to elect liberals and get higher taxes and liberal social programs. I blame that on voter ignorance and union-sponsored political commercials filled with lies and deceptions. What I don’t understand is why the voters in New Orleans reelected the incompetent Ray Nagin to another term as mayor. I would think that they would be smart enough to see through all the post-Katrina rhetoric and send Nagin packing after his dismal performance in crisis and the racist rhetoric that followed. I guess I was wrong.
