Quote of the day:
"Reuters faults (Rumsfeld) because "he did not mention the disease-carrying
mosquitoes on the Caribbean island." But hey, isn't one man's pest another's
pet?"
--James Taranto, OpinionJournal Online
Taliban's Club Fed:: The AP sent a reporter to Gitmo Bay yesterday
to check
up on the prisoners there. Here's what they were having for breakfast: milk,
a New York-style bagel with cream cheese and butter, a boiled egg, fruit and
water. These terrorists who killed our CIA agents, shot at us, bite when
given the chance and mumble that they will kill guards, also receive,
according to Secretary Rumsfeld, ``warm showers, toiletries, water, clean
clothes, blankets, regular, culturally appropriate meals, prayer mats and
the
right to practice their religion.''
Can we not hear anymore whining
from the
leftist fabricating Brit press?
Freak Show: The Guardian's coverage of psychopath Mike Tyson's
shameful live
performance at a press conference yesterday has by far the most colorful
language.
Tyson needs years of mental help .
The people who exploit this sorry
specimen and treat him like a moneymaking monkey should go to jail.
Pay Dirt: A senior al Qaeda official captured by U.S. forces in
Afghanistan
has informed them about a plot to blow up the U.S. embassy in Yemen. He did
this during an interrogation at the U.S. military base in Kandahar and
the information likely saved dozens of American lives.
Oh, goodness, you don't
suppose they hit the poor man, do you?
Saintly Patience: Anyone watching Secretary of Defense, Donald
Rumfeld's one
hour plus press conference knows the man deserves a medal.
His tolerance for air-heads is remarkable.
His expression when one thirty-something female
whimpered that the murdering thugs at Gitmo Bay didn't have air conditioning
was priceless. Here's the New York Times coverage.
They Are Doing What!? Yesterday, the New York Times reported that 40
impatient Afghan detainees (not prisoners, please note) in Australia were
protesting their situation
by sewing their mouths shut!
Subsequent stories today
give even larger numbers and mention this weird
practice as well with no further explanation. Sewing their mouths shut!? How
does that work? What does that do? Why?
Legacy Builders Out Of The Slam: The New York Daily News reports
that the
men who stole millions from the government, leaned on their flock to vote
for
Hillary, received a pardon from Bill and haven't repaid one dime of what
they
stole, are homeward bound today. Maybe they are waiting to make restitution
after they see Hillary give back her Enron money and her brothers return
their pardon fees.
One more brick in the Legacy Wall of Shame.
End Note: Here's what your LComStaff had for our culturally
appropriate
breakfast: milk, a real New York (not "New York-style") bagel with cream
cheese and butter, a boiled egg, fruit and water. Guess that means the Red
Cross and the London Daily Mirror are on their way to save us.
