One Of Those Days,

Hey folks,

It’s STILL Friday, for a little while longer anyway. It has been one of those days where there is SO MUCH in the news, I simply cannot comment on everything I want to. So you get the benefit from this fact. Here is you End Of Day Roundup, for Friday, February 23, 2007

Let’s start with a quickie. Remember back on January 20 and 21, 2007 I was talking about Assemblywoman Sally Lieber? How she wanted to make it a crime to spank your child? Well, {Raspberry} it’s dropped. According to the United Press International,

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 23 (UPI) -- A California lawmaker whose anti-spanking proposal triggered a national debate has decided to drop efforts to criminalize the spanking of children.

Assemblywoman Sally Lieber, D-Mountain View, is instead offering a measure that would prohibit adults from hitting children with a closed fist, electrical cord, shoes or other objects, The Los Angeles Times reports.

Uh, we already have these laws. It’s called child abuse. Noone was ever, and I would hope noone is now, against calling it a crime if an adult beats their kid with a closed fist or any other object. But you failed because you wanted to outlaw a simple spanking. You know, discipline that WORKS.

She is STILL not happy about it though. This last paragraph tells the whole story.

"I personally am very passionate about banning all physical abuse, but the votes are simply not there," says Lieber. "So California law will continue to allow parents, caregivers--whoever is in control of a child -- to spank with an open hand on the buttocks, including to the point of injury to the child."

You would NEVER have had the votes. This was an idiotic proposal. It was even made fun of on "Saturday Night Live" and "The Colbert Report." Glad that’s out of the way.

Sticking with insanity, lets talk about the Dems. I may have to spend more time on this one tomorrow, but for right now, did you hear this? They are NOW attempting to do something that is COMPLETELY un-constitutional. They want to micro manage the war now.

Nope, never mind. I WILL spend time on this tomorrow. This is too complex to simplify in a short sum up. So next is Obama. Today Obama truly showed how ignorant he REALLY is when it comes to the war.

Obama, speaking at a massive outdoor rally in Austin, Texas, said British Prime Minister Tony Blair's decision this week to withdraw 1,600 troops is a recognition that Iraq's problems can't be solved militarily.

WRONG! He never said anything like that. {Sigh}

"Now if Tony Blair can understand that, then why can't George Bush and Dick Cheney understand that?" Obama asked thousands of supporters who gathered in the rain to hear him. "In fact, Dick Cheney said this is all part of the plan (and) it was a good thing that Tony Blair was withdrawing, even as the administration is preparing to put 20,000 more of our young men and women in.

OK STOP!! I was trying to post these as a whole, but I have to comment. Tony Blair is NOT withdrawing. Like I told you today Prince Harry is on his way there. This IS all part of the plan. It IS a good sign that the Iraqis are closer to taking over. Back to Obama.

"Now, keep in mind, this is the same guy that said we'd be greeted as liberators, the same guy that said that we're in the last throes. I'm sure he forecast sun today," Obama said to laughter from supporters holding campaign signs over their heads to keep dry. "When Dick Cheney says it's a good thing, you know that you've probably got some big problems."

We were. We are. That is just completely ridiculous. And whenever you or any of the other "Surrender Monkeys" say we cannot win, we should know that we probably are winning. There are good things happening there. Ask a soldier. Cheney had no comment. Why would he? What Obama said is completely incorrect, ignorant, and really not worthy of comment from the Vice President.

From the insane, lets turn to something interesting. Seems that the balance of power in the senate may actually truly be in question. Why? One name. Lieberman.

Yesterday, Mr. Lieberman told the Web site Politico he had no "desire to switch parties," but "if that ever happens, it is because I feel the majority of Democrats have gone in a direction that I don't feel comfortable with."

They are going to drive him to changing parties. Not that this would be a bad thing. I like Lieberman. I like him a lot. Let’s toy with this idea for a second. Lieberman cannot be intimidated but the LWL. The Lonneys can say or attempt to do anything they want, he will stand his ground. More than that, he will win. So he switches parties because the Looneys REALLY try to pull off this un-constitutional move to strip the President as Commander and Chief and attempt to give themselves the title, he will jump ship.

So if Lieberman is now a Republican, and you have VP Cheney’s vote, guess who runs the Senate. This would stop the LWL COLD. They cannot really get anything done now,,,oh,,wait,, yeah, they are not TRYING to, other than lose the war.

Keep an eye on this one, it will be REALLY interesting to follow.

We wrap it up today with the most idiotic article category, First Humans: Time of Origin Pinned Down.

The lineages of humans and chimpanzees, our closest relatives, diverged from one another about 4.1 million years ago, according to a new estimate that is said to be far more precise than previous ranges for this critical evolutionary moment.

There is only one problem with this, we did NOT evolve from moneys, apes, or anything else We just are. They just are. Science has already proven this. So now we have another theory that says the first theory is wrong. But this one must be right. Right? Sorry, I did not evolve. I am. You want to be from apes, moneys, a little slimed puddle, be my guest. And NO, I will not pick the bugs of you. Ask one of your primate relatives. They like that sort of thing.

See you tomorrow, a little later than normal probably, but see you then anyway, for the answer to the question, True Attempt To Strip The President, or Hype?
