In time, they will be isolated and captured - or, if they fight, they'll be slain, just like the 101st Airborne killed Uday and Qusay Hussein. As for outside jihadis coming to wage holy war, bring 'em on. The United States has the military instrument in place to kill them over there, instead of over here." - Columnist Austin Bay ________________________________ One Who Dares Call It Treason "Whenever the (United States) is under attack, from within or without, liberals side with the enemy." - Author Ann Coulter in her new book "Treason" _______________________________ Siding with the Enemy * "It's sad, really, that as despicable as they are, Saddam's family seems to be the lesser of two evils when you compare them to the wretched little bastard occupying the White House and destroying America in the process..." * "What I really hate about the way our government has been taken over is that I'm at the point where I almost DON'T want anything good to happen in Iraq, I WANT them to screw up, I WANT them to fail." * "Bush and his ilk are far, far worse than Saddam and his two degenerate brats, and that's saying a LOT." - Posts noted by columnist Andrew Sullivan on the Democratic Underground website _______________________________ Still Have a Few Left...Order Today!

Charlie Rangel (D-NY), on Fox News' Hannity & Colmes ________________________________ Yo, Duke...This Cold One's For You "Addressing the Bar Association of San Francisco, the Hon. Richard A. Gephardt derided the Bush administration for its 'chest-beating unilateralism.' 'Foreign policy,' he pronounced, 'isn't a John Wayne movie, where we catch the bad guys, hoist a few cold ones and then everything fades to black' and he droned on about President George W. Bush's 'utter disregard for diplomacy.' Meanwhile the news was that Saddam Hussein's sons, Uday and Qusay (known to contemporary wags as Ebay and Amway) had been cornered and dispatched John Wayne style." - Columnist R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr. _______________________________ Yes, It Is "The Democratic Party clearly has difficulty discussing this issue because they are perceived as not being as strong on national security as the Republican Party. That's just not true." - Rep. Jim Turner (D-Texas), Washington Times, 7/25/03 _______________________________ The Next Worst Thing to Hell "For Catholics, Purgatory may very well be the judicial nominations process." - Kay Daley, president of the Coalition for a Fair Judiciary, OpinionJournal.com, 7/25/03 _______________________________ Lawyers Scream At Ice Cream "Trial lawyers and a consumer health group are teaming up to go after America's ice cream, sending out legal notices to six major chains this week as the group released a study criticizing ice cream's nutritional value.(and) telling the chains to add healthier alternatives and put nutritional facts on their store menu boards of face potential litigation." - Washington Times, 7/25/03 _______________________________ Court Jester "From the 'Court Jesters' File, convict Mark Brooks believes he's a 'girl inside' and answers only to the name Jessica Lewis. He sued the Clinton Correctional Facility in New York, demanding $500,000 for a 'sex change' -- you know, hormone therapy, breast implants, vocal-chord modulation and 'genital reassignment.' Authorities ignored his complaint until this week, when U.S. District Judge Lawrence Kahn ruled prison administrators must evaluate him to see if he suffers from 'gender dysphoria,' saying, 'Prison officials are ... obliged to determine whether plaintiff has a serious medical need and, if so, to provide him with at least some treatment.'" - The Federalist, 7/25/03 _______________________________ Savage Campaign Talk-show host Michael Savage, who was fired from MSNBC last month for telling a caller he hoped he got AIDS and died, announced on his radio program that he's thinking of throwing his hat in the ring for the California governor's race in conjunction with the recall of Gray Davis. Yeah, that ought to really help burnish the conservative image in a state with NO elected statewide Republicans. _______________________________ Total Recall by Conan the Republican Terminator "The recall of Gov. Gray Davis is heading for a fall election. 'It'll be covered like a mini-presidential race,' says GOP consultant Joe Shumate--and watched like a thriller movie. Part of the reason will be Arnold Schwarzenegger, who, his campaign advisers believe, will be running--or starring, to put it in Hollywood idiom, in a political sequel to his 'Total Recall.' Few people are more disciplined and better at marketing themselves than Mr. Schwarzenegger. 'He will run as a Republican, but his campaign may feel like a third-party insurgency,' says Sacramento Bee columnist Dan Weintraub. "...Comparisons between the Terminator and another actor who ran for California governor are inevitable. Mr. Schwarzenegger keeps a large bust of Ronald Reagan in his office and says 'Reagan was heaven.' Like the Gipper, the Terminator delegates authority well and favors short bullet-point memos. But they are also clearly different men, with Mr. Schwarzenegger's public cockiness ('I am programmed to be a star') contrasting with Mr. Reagan's consistent humility. "But his work with inner-city youths gives him an appeal to minorities that Mr. Reagan didn't have. 'Arnold's popularity among Hispanics is off the charts,' says one pollster. Some critics charge that, unlike Mr. Reagan, Mr. Schwarzenegger has no clear ideology. While known as 'Conan the Republican,' he didn't alienate Hollywood with overt philosophical combat. But there is abundant evidence he has clear beliefs: call him a compassionate libertarian." - John Fund's Political Diary, 7/25/03 _______________________________ Ouch! "(Republican California gubernatorial candidate Bill) Simon's campaign staff is saying he is the most likely candidate for voters to support in the recall (election against Gov. Gray Davis). Supporting Simon is like eating raw sea cucumbers if you were marooned on deserted island. Without options, people are forced to make unpleasant choices: death by starvation or swallowing something that makes your stomach retch. "Fortunately, Republicans have a clear option and choice for who they should support for governor. They will not have to retch and be sick to their stomachs from being forced, by default, to be with Simon as he campaigns. "...Many Simon followers are in need for an intervention or deprogramming. Like members of the Jonestown cult, Simon devotees blindly worship the fact that he is not Gray Davis. They are willing to block out the fact that he lead all Republicans to political suicide in 2002 by his incompetence." - Joe Cuffaro, a "highly disgruntled and disgusted former Simon supporter" in an email distributed on July 22, 2003 _______________________________ AO-Hell & The Post Office "While we're on the subject of the US Postal Service, can someone please explain why there are display stands of free AOL CDs in the Post Office? What's up with that? Didn't the government partner with AOL, SUN and Netscape to sue Microsoft? And now it provides free space for one of the parties to give away its software?" - News & Views reader Carolyn Abbott of Westminster, MA _______________________________ Storm Clouds Over USPS Rep. John M. McHugh (R-NY), chairman of the House Government Reform Committee's Special Panel on Postal Reform and Oversight, touted the need for postal overhaul at a meeting of postal and private mail industry employees Tuesday. Congress, he said, should not ignore the storm currently brewing in the U.S. Postal Service, or universal service is nearly certain to be sacrificed. Rep. McHugh also offered hope to the more than 50 postal industry stakeholders attending the speech that an upcoming report from the Presidential Commission on the United States Postal Service may provide an impetus for legislative reform and act as vehicle to prevent a postal crisis. _______________________________ Service Drops, Prices Rise...We're Outta Here "I just saw yesterday that Melaleuca, Inc., a half-billion-dollar-per-year catalog sales company, is moving totally to UPS in August due to a continuing increase in cost (by the post office). To use their own words, 'Unfortunately, during the last year, we have seen a significant drop in the service levels and delivery times we previously experienced with the Postal Service while experiencing rapidly rising costs.' With online banking and other important services becoming so convenient it seems the only thing the post office is good for is delivering magazines and junk mail. I wonder how many more years the government is going to subsidize a losing proposition?" - News & Views reader Jay Crouthers of Crownsville, MD _______________________________ 4.75 cents-per-minute Long Distance * All state-to-state calls in the continental U.S. * Residential or commercial * 6-second billing increments * 24 hours/day * 7 days/week * No access codes * No minimums * No activation fees * Calling Card Rate is 10 cents per minute * No monthly service charge unless your bill is less than $20.00 a month (then a $1.99 service charge will apply) * No need to change your local phone company * No hassles * Easy sign-up. * And a small portion of each bill goes to help continue publishing our FREE Chuck Muth's News & Views e-newsletter.
