My first day at my new job, and I'm bombarded with news items that make it difficult to rant about any one thing in particular, so I'll just do a little round up of interesting tidbits;

Cynthia McKinney is a mental midget, as we all have figured out in recent weeks.  Apparently she is afraid her constituents will find it out too?  [Hat tip:  Drudge]

"Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D) failed to appear at two televised debates over the weekend, fueling criticism from two opponents who are challenging the controversial incumbent in a July 18 primary in the Georgia's 4th District."

I hope this disgrace is removed from office in November.  I don't even care who beats her, as long as someone does.  She's an embarrassment!

Drudge is also breaking the news that Novak is going "on the record" about his sources in the Plame-gate debacle tonight!

"BOB NOVAK, My Leak Case Testimony: 'I learned Valerie Plame's name from Joe Wilson's entry in 'Who's Who in America'... MORE Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald has informed my attorneys that, after two and one-half years, his investigation of the CIA leak case concerning matters directly relating to me has been concluded. That frees me to reveal my role in the federal inquiry that, at the request of Fitzgerald, I have kept secret... MORE... My primary source has not come forward to identify himself... Bill Harlow, the CIA public information officer who was my CIA source for the column confirming Mrs. Wilson's identity. I learned Valerie Plame's name from Joe Wilson's entry in 'Who's Who in America'... I answered questions using the names of Rove, Harlow and my primary source."

All I want to hear next is that Scooter Libby will have all the charges against him dropped!  What they have put that good man through is criminal.  This whole story was crap from the beginning!  It's okay for the NYT to reveal national security secrets, but Bob Novak or anyone else can't "out" Valerie Plame as a CIA employee (NOT 'operative') after her husband outed her?  Ridiculous, and the donks should be ashamed of their vamping over this non-story!

I've heard radio news off and on today, about the video circulating on the internet showing our kidnapped heroes' bodies after they'd been defiled by the evil monsters who dismembered them, after cruelly torturing them.  So to hear that the reason (there is no REASON involved with or used by these vile creatures) was the alleged rape and murder of Iraqis by some soldiers, even though the incident took place before news of the rape and murders broke.  Here's their excuse...errr...explanation....errr...Bull$hit;

"According to the SITE Institute, the statement by the insurgents said that as soon as fighters heard of the rape-slaying, "they kept their anger to themselves and didn't spread the news."

"They decided to take revenge for their sister's honor," the statement said. "With Allah's help, they captured two Soldiers of the same brigade as this dirty crusader."

The Mujahedeen Shura Council is an umbrella organization of several Islamic extremist groups, including al-Qaida in Iraq. It claimed responsibility for shooting down a U.S. Apache helicopter in the Youssifiyah area in April.

U.S. investigators had said there was no evidence linking the deaths of the three Soldiers last month to the alleged rape-slaying. "

These fiends do not need any excuse.  They don't care if they kill soldiers, children, innocent citizens going to the market, life means nothing to them.  They kill and feel justified doing it, anyone who does not think the way their warped minds think.  Until we make a change in the way these people are taught from childhood, which is a perverted and utterly false ridiculous "religion", we will not be able to stop this evil.  The facists cannot use their young like an American fighting unit uses bombs, or there will be no peace in our future.  The perversion begins in their toddler years, and escalates throughout their growing years.  By the time they are teens, they are like explosives with primed trigger devices.  The only way to make the changes needed it to transform the middle east is to spread freedom, and Iraq is where we start.  For the left to demand we leave before the job is done, is to condemn our children and grandchildren to further atrocities by these same hateful excuses for men.
