Kofi Annan’s Childish Tantrum

Wall Street Journal contributor James Bone explains why the UN Secretary-General accused him of not being a “serious journalist.

Where Is the Car?

UNITED NATIONS–Kofi Annan, U.N. secretary-general and Nobel peace laureate, is normally the meekest of diplomats. He is so accommodating he once described Saddam Hussein as a man “I can do business with.” These days he spends a good deal of time on the phone with Syria’s Bashar al-Assad. Yet he seems to have problem with me.

It was with some amusement that I found myself the target of a decidedly undiplomatic tirade by the U.N. chief at a news conference last week. The usually mild Mr. Annan erupted in an ad hominem attack, calling me “cheeky” and belittling me as an “overgrown schoolboy.” Although I have covered the U.N. in minute detail for The Times of London since 1988, and have known Mr. Annan for almost all that time, he suggested I was not a “serious journalist.”

Boxer out of the Gate in Race for Impeachment

It seems that Barbara Boxer just can’t wait to bring articles of Impeachment. Read Boxer And John Dean Discuss Impeachment at Boxer Watch. Excerpt:

What’s more laughable, though, is that Boxer would discuss, on a serious level, legal issues with a convicted felon with a vendetta against authority figures, especially those of the Republican side. It strikes me that asking Dean about impeachment is a fool’s errand. Based on her record, I’d say that Sen. Boxer fits the bill for the right type of fool.

Indeed.

And where was Boxer when Bill Clinton‘s folks said that this kind of surveillance is within Presidential purview? Read Byron York on Bill Clinton & No-Warrant Searches on National Review Online.

This is just more of the same hysteria that Boxer engages in whenever she has the opportunity. For example, lying during the confirmation hearings for Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and challenging the Presidential election certification by the congress. Boxer is a loose cannon, somewhat like Howard Dean.

Give Your Children to Us – Now

Attention California Taxpayers – Does Meathead have his hand in YOUR pocket? Worse yet, does he have plans for your kids?

From the Sacramento Bee:

State’s preschool ads play politics, critics say

[To] opponents of actor-director Rob Reiner’s pending $2.3 billion universal preschool initiative, the spots feel more like taxpayer-financed political advocacy that primes voters for the June election.

They criticize the fact that Reiner chairs the state commission paying for the ads and also leads the initiative campaign that may benefit by its message.

“It’s a matter of sheer common sense – this is an expenditure of taxpayer dollars promoting preschool,” said Jon Coupal, president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. “It’s clearly connected to the pending initiative, and as a matter of ethics it crosses the line. Whether it crosses the legal line remains to be seen.”

Just as Damsel and I thought: the preschool endorsement ads are a political ploy by the left. It seems that the socialist-inclined teaching profession wants our kids sooner in order to prevent parental contamination of their well-thought-out political indoctrination of your kids. We spotted this underlying theme in the ads when they began, and contend that the socialist attitude is “you birth ’em, we’ll take it from there.” This concept is working in China and other communist nations, where youth indoctrination is vital to the survival of tyrannical governments. They don’t want your parental guidance of morality, ethics and religion to interfere with their program.

As for Meathead’s political connections, he seems to have abundant ties to hollywood radicals and socialist-leaning Democrats, evident from the picture on the right.

Lobotomy Candidate of the Day

Today’s Lobotomy Candidate is John Kerry.

CNS News carried this article about this loser’s Presidential impeachment remarks:

Kerry’s Impeachment Crack Not Funny, Republicans Say — 12/16/2005

The Republican Party sees nothing funny about Sen. John F. Kerry’s crack that President Bush should be impeached.

If Democrats take back the House in 2006, there would be a “solid case” to bring articles of impeachment against Bush for “misleading” the country about prewar intelligence, the National Journal’s Hotline quoted Kerry as saying.

“With his impeachment advocacy last night, John Kerry once again showed how out of touch he is with American people and how in step he is with the far left fringes of the Democrat party,” said RNC Communications Director Brian Jones in a statement.

“For one of the leaders of the Democrat party to begin a push for presidential impeachment, in seriousness or jest, on the eve of the Iraq elections is both foolish and shortsighted.”

Obviously, Senator Kerry is tormented by out-of-body hallucinations, delusions of grandeur and nuance, positional-reversal syndrome and being a Democrat. Our recommendation is that he undergo a simple lobotomy to relieve these debilitating symptoms. Here is a projection of the results:

Before (left): hypocritical, tormented, nuanced, averted gaze, loser.
After (right): peaceful, relaxed, gazing skyward, better-looking.

One Marine’s View of Col. Oliver North

This is an excerpt from One Marine’s View a USMC blogger in Ramadi, Iraq:

I have a section of Marine F-18s circling like great white sharks above us ready to dive down and tear a holy shit ass into someone if needed. I’m thankful they are Marines up there, they will know how we fight and that could be the difference in tenths of seconds and again yes I’m very glad their fellow Marines. We get to our destination through a narrow empty alley. Its quiet and we quickly move past bullet ridden walls to our determined location. While conducting our business inside some of the men are outside establishing security and talking with Col Oliver North. Its weird seeing him in this shit hole but he is cool as hell and shoots the shit with they guys. He’s still a Marine and the men know it. You can’t bullshit the men they will smell a turd a mile away like the stench of other Marines who have strayed…

That last remark sounds like this Marine is making reference to a certain disingenuous ex-Marine turned congressman – Jack Murtha perhaps?

Clinton Heats Up Climate Conference

Bill Clinton has no more business addressing the UN Climate Conference than he has for educating teenage girls about sex.

Montreal (CNSNews.com) – Former President Bill Clinton is expected to address the U.N. Climate Change Conference on Friday, the final day, after the Sierra Club reportedly raised the money to pay for Clinton’s trip.

Clinton’s visit is intended to help draw more media attention to the U.N. meeting and to pressure the U.S. delegation to make more concessions on climate issues, according to the Canadian Press.

Bush administration officials reportedly were “annoyed” that Clinton chose to come on the last day of the conference to try to influence the negotiations, according to the Associated Press.
