Yeah, I wrote that damned headline, and I’m proud of it.
Via Fox News:
Sens. Ted Kennedy was taken to a hospital after suffering seizures during President Obama’s celebratory inaugural luncheon while Sen. Robert Byrd left early on Tuesday of his own accord, said his spokesman.
Kennedy, 76, suffered a series of convulsions that lasted a while. He was taken out on a wheelchair and had to have his legs lifted up to get him out of the room. He was loaded onto an ambulance and taken to Washington Hospital Center.
A spokeswoman at the hospital said Kennedy was awake and answering questions during an assessment. His wife Vicki and son, Rep. Patrick Kennedy, were with him.
Last summer, the Massachusetts Democrat was diagnosed with a life-threatening brain tumor. Kennedy was one of Obama’s earliest supporters and is credited with leading the pack of lawmakers who pushed Obama’s popularity.
Sen. John Kerry and wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, and Vicki Kennedy helped Kennedy get into the reclining chair in which he was wheeled out. Connecticut Sen. Chris Dodd also accompanied Kennedy to the ambulance.
I hope Teddy and Byrdy boy are going to be okay.
Mary Jo Kopechne, The Millions of unborn children murdered under Kennedy and the African-Americans lynched when Byrd was a Klansman were unavailable for a comment.

This is why I like Tucker Carlson, he is absolutely fearless and is not afraid to speak his mind.
Listen to it: (Via Media Bistro)
Quote:
Former MSNBC and CNN anchor Tucker Carlson, who is already “worn out” from the Inauguration festivities, joined us this morning on the mediabistro.com Morning Media Menu. Carlson and host Glynnis MacNicol are two of the millions in D.C. right now.
He had some strong thoughts about the media’s love affair with President-elect Barack Obama. “I’m excited about it, I live here, I want my kids to see it…On the other hand, in the end he’s a politician taking a political office, 52% of the public voted for him, 48% didn’t vote for him, so let’s not pretend this is the second coming of Jesus,” said Carlson.
And although he didn’t want to sound like “a libertarian wacko,” he had some problems with the D.C. security. “The security is really over the top, anti-American really…We are far too willing to accept security restrictions,” he said.
As for the “exclusive” deals being worked out between TV networks and the Presidential Inauguration Committee, Carlson said, “How you can decide you have exclusive right to something that takes place on the National Mall? I don’t know who came up with that? I should try it!”
He also had some other suggestions: “Why don’t we name the White House? We could call it the Staples House, you know what I mean. The Home Depot House.”
Carlson also said that a friend of his tried to cross the Washington Bridge and was confronted by a United States Army solider with a bullhorn and an assault rifle. Which I believe, if I am not mistaken, against the law and our constitution.
I also agree with his assessment of the Liberal media’s infatuation with “The One”, it’s a sad day; when the media refuses to look at something objectively. I mean, there are so many questions, his citizenship, his ties to communism, it just sickens me, that the media and the American citizens not asking more questions.
Of course, you can expect that the far lefty liberal media will, of course, pay attempt to paint Tucker Carlson as a hater. But thinking Americans will know better. Further more, the Fascist Neo-Conservatives will refuse to report this, because of their love affair with the Democrats, seeing that most Neo-Cons are of Democratic breed.
I fear for what America is about to become. The Rapture of the Church cannot come fast enough, if you ask me.
Some interesting news via CNN:
The CNN-Opinion Research Corp. survey was released Monday, a federal holiday honoring the slain civil rights leader and a day before Barack Obama is to be sworn in as the first black U.S. president.
The poll found 69 percent of blacks said King’s vision has been fulfilled in the more than 45 years since his 1963 “I have a dream” speech — roughly double the 34 percent who agreed with that assessment in a similar poll taken last March.
But whites remain less optimistic, the survey found.
“Whites don’t feel the same way — a majority of them say that the country has not yet fulfilled King’s vision,” CNN polling director Keating Holland said. However, the number of whites saying the dream has been fulfilled has also gone up since March, from 35 percent to 46 percent.
Of course, I do not expect the Communist Liberal Media or the “White Guilt” Conservative media to report the objective truth about Michael King, Jr.
The truth is, that the man’s life was one huge lie. He was not a doctor, in fact, his thesis was plagiarized. The truth is that the man was a sworn communist. The truth is, that the man, according to the word of God, was not even a Christian. It is a well-known and well-documented fact that Michael King, Jr. rejected many of the core doctrines of the Bible.
Of course, you won’t hear that from any other Conservatives, because they are too scared to report it. But I will. Because I do not fear Liberals. Because:
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. (1 John 4:4 KJV)
There is a website, that exposes this supposed National hero, I will say in full disclosure, that the site is ran by White Nationalists. But does that automatically discredit what is written there? I think not.
I will tell you, up front, that there is a bit of information on this site, that was debunked by a recent release of FBI files on Martin Luther King Jr. However, the rest of the information is invaluable and should be looked at objectively.
Of course, when anyone tries to do this, they are shouted down, by the communist ran and funded Liberal media and by weak-kneed, White Guilt, Neo-Conservatives, themselves being formerly of the communist liberal mindset. You can go that website, by click here.
Please be advised, I do not agree with the opinions and positions of the persons that own and host that link. I am simply presenting it for information purposes.

Now this is quite interesting:
The New York Times Co. is in discussions with Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim about investing in the newspaper publisher to help ease its financial problems, according to people familiar with the matter.
The talks are ongoing and may yet fall apart but one of the options being discussed is a preferred-stock issue. Under this scenario, the Times Co. would issue Mr. Slim preferred stock, which carries no voting right but pays an annual dividend, in return for his investment. The investment would be similar to a loan. Preferred shares are often convertible into common stock after a defined period.
via New York Times Co. in Talks With Carlos Slim on Preferred Stock Investment – WSJ.com (Sub Required).
Interesting…. The New York Post picks it up:
The 68-year-old telecommunications tycoon is said to be discussing a large purchase of preferred shares. The talks are ongoing and may fall apart, as they probably would need the consent of the Sulzberger family, including publisher Arthur Sulzberger, who control the media powerhouse through its ownership of preferred shares.
The preferred shares under discussion would carry no voting rights, but pay a dividend, according to the report. His current stake puts Slim among the largest non-Sulzberger owners of the Times.
The Times is under the gun to raise cash as a $400 million credit line expires in May. The recession has squeezed the paper, which reported a 21 percent drop in ad revenue in November.
The newspaper has made some drastic moves recently to increase cash flow and to raise the needed money, including:
* An ongoing attempt to raise $225 million by selling its 58 percent stake in the new 52-story Midtown skyscraper and then leasing the office space.
* Putting its 17.5 percent stake in New England Sports Ventures, the parent of the Boston Red Sox, on the block. That could raise about $150 million.
* Layoffs and buyouts at the flagship New York Times and its Boston Globe property.
* Cutting back its dividend to investors for three years.
* The recent move to reduce the number of standalone sections and to sell advertising for the first time on Page 1 of the Times.
For Slim, fattening up his stake in the Times would expand his already sizeable holdings. The mogul controls Telmex, which handles about 90 percent of Mexico’s land-based telephone service, and Telcel, which has an 80 percent market share on the country’s cell business.
In 1997, just before Apple launched its iMac line, Slim bought a 3 percent stake in the tech company at a split-adjusted price of about $4.50 a share. Apple closed Friday at $82.33.
Just Warren Buffet, worth about $62 billion, according to Forbes, is richer than Slim. Bill Gates, for years the richest man in the world, is worth about $58 billion, the magazine said.
Very interesting indeed, it is indeed a sign of the times. It does kind of bother me, that the NYT would go south of the border to get someone to put money into their company. Is there not any millionaires here in America? Where’s all those Liberal Hollywood celebrities that cater to those mindless loons that make that newspaper?
I would go off on a “Bill O’Rielly” sounding rant and say it’s because of their bias. But I won’t, because I’m just a bit more honest than that. The Economy is bad, old Media is become the thing of the past, the internet is killing traditional media. hey, times change, either you keep up or your outmoded. Just that simple.
But, damn, what the hell are they gonna call the old gray lady now? The Taco-Head Times? D’oh! ![]()

It’s going to be a long four to eight years.
Dan over at Obama water carrier center AKA Politico.com, Dan the man yowels away about Conservatives who won’t give a pass to “The One”.
With Barack Obama’s approval ratings in the 70s and his visage plastered on every shop window and Metro card in Washington, it’s hard to remember that 58 million Americans voted for the other guy.
Even President Bush — who presumably counts himself among that group — said last week that Obama’s inauguration is “a moment of hope and pride.”
That’s not exactly how Michelle Malkin describes it.
“Jan. 20 has turned into a schlock inauguration, (where) every last moocher has come to cash in on Obama,” says the conservative blogger and pundit. “There are some of us who want to bang our heads against the wall.”
While most Republicans now in office are saying all the right things about Tuesday’s proceedings — roll tape on “peaceful transfer of power” and “historic moment for the country” sound bites — some conservatives can’t quite get themselves in the “We Are One” mood. Not even for a day. Via Obama naysayers speak out – Politico.com.
While the Malkin comment might a bit over the top; not that I’ve got any room to talk. However, the whole situation is totally understandable.
There were some of us who wanted someone, who was a bit more qualified to run the country. Some of us wanted a man who actually had some sort of experience, rather than an empty suited, race baiting, Liberal shill, who was elected solely, because of the color of his skin. But, no, the damned idiot old man, had to pick some idiot MILF from Polar Bear-land, and thought that she would get the Hillary voters. We all see how that little stupid idea worked!
I mean, I would much rather seen a real Conservative Black man in there. But I guess I’m stuck with the empty suit. Stuff happens, I guess.
So, in closing, just chalk it up to pissed off Conservatives who feel they were robbed. In a sense, they were. Geraldine Ferraro was right all along.
Exit Question: Taxes and dog legs? Hmmmm.
I knew stuff like this was going to happen if that idiot was elected! I just knew it!
Via Inside Charm City:

US Code, Title 4, Chapter 1, Section 8, “Respect for the flag”: says:
No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.
(a) The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.
(b) The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise.
(c) The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free.
(d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker’s desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general.
(e) The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way.
(f) The flag should never be used as a covering for a ceiling.
(g) The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.
(h) The flag should never be used as a receptacle for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything.
(i) The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown.
(j) No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart.
(k) The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.
But don’t you dare question Obama or his trolls loyality to America or their Patriotism. Oh well, it doesn’t matter anyways, because in six months to a year, Obama will burn the constitution, take our guns, enact black Nationalism as the state religion and we’ll ALL be carrying this flag here:
or this one:

Get ready folks, because the Nazi or Communist Obama Nation is about upon us.
“….even so, Come, Lord Jesus.”
Update: Commenter “LeftDog” left a comment showing here a John McCain supporter was doing the same thing. Click Here to view. For the record; Yes, I do think that it is just as wrong as Obama doing it.
Update #2: Obviously some of you do not know snark, when you read it or see it. I suggest you get a sense of humor before you have a heart attack. Also you might want to release your butt cheeks just a little. It can only help.
Update #3: This Commie Liberal here calls us, who brought this to light… “scraping.” I got two words for this Communist son of a bitch….. Scrape THIS! Communist tool…. Go worship your “Magic Negro” Messiah and enjoy it. Because in 6 months, he’ll be the next asshole in the White House! You wait and see. Stupid liberal Ass plows. No brains, just follow the “O” and everything will be wonderful. Give. me. a. fucking. break. PLEASE!

This is most interesting…
Chicago Tribune slobbering all over itself; reports the following:
PHILADELPHIA – President-elect Barack Obama, delivering a pledge “to take up the work” that the patriots of American independence started here, launched a thematic train ride that will deliver the incoming president to Washington.
In a “town hall”- styled opening rally Saturday morning, with about 200 campaign supporters invited to an address at the start of this historic day, Obama declared: “We are here to mark the beginning of our journey to Washington, and this is fitting, because it was here in this city that our American journey began.
“We are here today not simply to pay tribute to our first patriots but to take up the work that they began,” Obama said in Philadelphia. “What is required is a new declaration of independence, not just in our nation, but in our own lives – from ideology and small thinking, prejudice and bigotry – an appeal not to our easy instincts but to our better angels.”
Before boarding the train for his “whistle-stop” journey to the capital, Obama delivered a brief but inspirational address that evoked not only the fathers of American independence, but also the emancipator of slaves and protector of the American union whose model he will invoke all day, Abraham Lincoln.
“Starting now, let’s take up in our own lives the work of perfecting our union,” Obama said. “Let’s build a government that is responsible to the people, and accept our own responsibilities as citizens to hold our government accountable.
“Let’s all of us do our part to rebuild this country,” he said, with words that clearly to point to the theme that will emerge from his inauguration as the 44th president on Tuesday. “Let’s make sure this election is not the end of what we do to change America, but the beginning.”
With his train ride and his ceremonial arrival in Washington, Obama will evoke the same historical imagery that he employed to kick off his presidential campaign: The spirit of Lincoln.
Okay, first off, I know the historical part of the man’s election and all. But the wording he used is sort of troubling.
What does Perfecting our Union and New Declaration of Independence mean? Sounds like a call to Black Nationalism to me.
I hate to be the one to say this, but Mr. Barry, I happen to like my Declaration of Independence and the Union just the way it is sir, and I would appreciate it, if you’d keep your hands off of it sir.
Thank you President Johnson for screwing America sir. Because I do believe we are heading for some terrible times. 😡
