From MAUREEN DOWD:
The odd thing is that Obama bears a distinct resemblance to the most cherished hero in chick-lit history. The senator is a modern incarnation of the clever, haughty, reserved and fastidious Mr. Darcy.
*Snort*
I thinking more Steve Urkel myself.. 😆

This is unbelievable.
NYTimes.com:
High in the hills of Guatemala, shut inside the one-room house where he spends day and night on a twin bed beneath a seriously outdated calendar, Luis Alberto Jiménez has no idea of the legal battle that swirls around him in the lowlands of Florida.
Shooing away flies and beaming at the tiny, toothless elderly mother who is his sole caregiver, Mr. Jiménez, a knit cap pulled tightly on his head, remains cheerily oblivious that he has come to represent the collision of two deeply flawed American systems, immigration and health care.
Eight years ago, Mr. Jiménez, 35, an illegal immigrant working as a gardener in Stuart, Fla., suffered devastating injuries in a car crash with a drunken Floridian. A community hospital saved his life, twice, and, after failing to find a rehabilitation center willing to accept an uninsured patient, kept him as a ward for years at a cost of $1.5 million.
This story reads like a cheap dime novel. The poor immigrant. The whole dice. I got four words for this one:
Give me a Break and Cry me a river
The facts are in this story is simply this. This young man choose to come our Country in a unlawful manner and was hurt in a accident and became a HUGE burden on our Health care system here in America.
…and you know what? The Hospital took care of business:
What happened next set the stage for a continuing legal battle with nationwide repercussions: Mr. Jiménez was deported — not by the federal government but by the hospital, Martin Memorial. After winning a state court order that would later be declared invalid, Martin Memorial leased an air ambulance for $30,000 and “forcibly returned him to his home country,” as one hospital administrator described it.
As they should have, the story goes on to say that, as this little criminal began to heal up, he began to act like a total ass in the hospital too. All because he was supposedly “Depressed”.
You know, I am just going to tell it like it is here. These filthy illegal immigrants come into our country unlawfully, and then when they’re hurt. They EXPECT us to care for them, and let the AMERICAN PEOPLE foot the bill! That, my dear readers is totally unconscionable.
As a Christian man, I do feel a bit of sympathy for his situation, but I do not have one ounce of sympathy for the fact that he was deported. Because HE DID NOT BELONG IN THIS COUNTRY IN THE FIRST DAMN PLACE!
Nice try by the Communist Liberal New York Times to try a paint a sob story, but this Conservative is not buying it, not one damn bit.

Here’s is my offering of rather boring nonsense to the Open TrackBack Gang…

This via Confederate Yankee:
Online activists thought to be loyal to Barack Obama are once against using Google’s software tools to target rival political blogs for elimination as spam blogs. This occurred earlier this year when Democratic bloggers with a preference for Hillary Clinton also found themselves locked out of their own blogs, all because of spurious and apparently orchestrated claims that these blogs are spam blogs. Pro-Obama activists were blamed for those attempts at censorship as well.
Like John at Argghhh!, I don’t think for a second that the Obama campaign has any official knowledge of this attempt to hamstring or terminate rival political viewpoints, but as Obama once won an election by exercising procedural tricks to have his rivals thrown off the ballot, it is certainly in line with the kind of character he has displayed in the past.
This time to victim is David Marron, of The Thunder Run:
Hello All,
Seems someone is scared of the truth as I found this when I went to post this morning.
This blog has been locked due to possible Blogger Terms of Service violations. You may not publish new posts until your blog is reviewed and unlocked.
This blog will be deleted within 20 days unless you request a review.Its the same message Concrete Bob received and Rosemary posted for him.
This is bullshit as it appears that someone does not approve of the idea of free speech especially when the speech doesn’t conform to their ideas.
I’m always asked: “Why are the milblogs important?” Well we can see the reason why. We get the message out! We can not allow others to dictate the form or content of the message. The message must always be the truth, whether they want to hear it or not.
Regardless of the outcome with Google’s review, The Thunder Run is now in the process of purchasing a domain and finding seperate hosting services…I suggest anyone else that uses Blogger to do the same, its something I should have done a long time ago.
With John Donovan’s permission I will be posting most of my stuff at Castle Argghhh! until further notice.

My friends this is nothing more than fascism, by Liberals who want to squash the Conservative message here in America. I am so glad, that I got smart and got the hell off of Blogspot. I am now on a great host that is an Conservative himself. Although, he does not Blog about Politics. I hope all of these Bloggers can get hosting. If you’re seriously in a pinch and need hosting, get ahold of me and I will put you in contact with someone who might be able to help.
GLENN REYNOLDS isn’t buying it. Oh, what the hell does he know any fucking way? Dude thinks cause he a fucking law professor, that he’s got the inside edge on Google? Please.

Charles Johnson over at Little Green Footballs Reports the Following:
I’ve confirmed that there’s some kind of problem on the Internet, that only seems to affect users of the Internet Explorer 7 web browser. Attempting to browse to many sites results in an ‘Operation Aborted’ error. No information about the problem elsewhere yet … stay tuned.
UPDATE at 8/1/08 7:20:27 pm:
It appears to be related to Sitemeter.com — browsing to their web site with Internet Explorer 7 produces the error too.
I use Gostats myself. I have used sitemeter in the past however. I also use firefox, so, I don’t have the problem, just reporting it for those that do.

1. Members of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for really drinking it up.
2. Rep. Tim Walberg For being the only person to vote against the head start program
3. To Neo-Con asshole Michael Goldfarb for comparing NYT’s Editorial Board to the adverage Daily Kos Diarist. When he himself is a blogger at McCain’s Blog and also is the editor and Blogger at the Weekly standard. 🙄
Silver: Bill O’ For bragging about his ratings, and royally screwing them up
Bronze: Republican Congresswoman Michelle Backman for basically being full of HotAir… (HotAir?!?! Hmmmm… Does Michelle know this?)
Gold: Rush Limbaugh, Bush 4.1, and Bush 4.3 for basically admitting that Roger Ailes is on the string… (Uh, Keith, I get 4.1 and 4.3, but why Rush? he didn’t say it… 🙄 )
Initially, I thought this was a great idea.
However, upon further reflection, I think it will do little good. We’ll have to settle this in November.
Remember and Vote.

This would be sweet…
Via The Jawa Report:
Stratfor reports that the United States is attempting to verify rumors coming out of Pakistan that al Qaeda’s #2, Ayman al-Zawahiri, was killed in a July 28 Predator airstrike.
Intelligence sources told The Jawa Report last week that ‘the hunt was on’ in Pakistan for a ‘big fish’. Could this be the big fish they were talking about?
The major — and I mean major — caveat here is that Zawahiri has been rumored to have been killed on a number of previous occasions.
US Forces are said to be going to make an announcement soon about the rumors.
The stupid chorus of “Can we go home now?” from the commie left to start in 5…4…3…2..1
