Its the beginning of Memorial Day weekend. The democrats in congress just caved into Bush's demand for funding with no outside interference attached to it. While I'm sure it was a humbling experience for the dems initially, their overwhelming arrogance quickly took over again.
The dems are now vowing to continue to interfere by holding constant votes against Bush and against our efforts in Iraq. Just like the immature little punks these people really are, they will continue to be obstructionists, and continue to undermine our efforts, all the while continuing to falsely proclaim support for the troops.
This Memorial Day its time to get honest! These people DO NOT support our troops. They have simply swarmed over a "cause celeb" like a pile of maggots and they intend to milk it for all they can. By claiming to believe that their actions do not harm our troops or our their efforts, they are clearly showing how stupid and ignorant they think the American voters are.
In truth, they know exactly how damaging their actions are to the troops and to their efforts. They simply don't give a damn because they are convinced that the voters are unable to think beyond the lies they feed them.
Unfortunately, they're probably right to a large degree.
I'm gonna spend Memorial Day with some REAL Americans. Veterans, and active duty personnel. At the same time, I'll avoid thinking of these phony Americans in congress as much as possible.
GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!

Monkey - no, Activist - no, Monkey!
A Vienna Based animal rights group (Association against Animal Factories) has petitioned the courts in Austria to have a chimpanzee declared a “person”.
While I am convinced that this 26 year old chimp (named Hiasl) is probably a lot more intelligent than the morons who are promoting this absurdity, to the rest of us non-chimps this is an extreme example of the unlimited absurdity of which man is capable.
Supposedly the reason for this request is so that the chimp may legally receive financial gifts, which in Vienna, is a right apparently reserved for human beings. Apparently the shelter where Hiasl currently resides may go bankrupt. As is typical with most professional “activists”, they act emotionally . . . . . stupidly, and they don’t consider alternative or logical scenarios.
Hiasl will never live on his own (he really isn’t human – he’s a chimp). If he enjoys the standard chimp life span, he’ll spend the next 30 years or so in this, or some other shelter. So, there is absolutely no need for direct, personal financial gifts to Hiasl. If someone wants to support this chimp, they would donate to the shelter . . . . not to the chimp. Just like they have been doing for Hiasl since 1982!
If that isn't good enough . . . . . go ahead and contribute illegally! How bad can the punishment be for illegal monkey donating?
But being professional “activists”, these people(?) want the monkey to be declared a “person”. As if that is a simple (let alone sane) thing to do! Presumably as a “person”, the monkey would have all of the rights and responsibilities of a “person”:
He would have the right to live free . . . on his own, wherever he wished or could afford.
He could drive any car he can afford to buy with all the charitable gifts he’d be eligible to receive. He would have control over how those gifts are used.
He could marry another “person” (although I would seriously question whether his “mate” should qualify for that distinction either).
He could be arrested for defecating (and tossing) in public (if that sort of thing is against the law in Vienna).
He would serve jury duty, receive welfare, declare the “M” word as being politically incorrect, and sue any employer who required clothing for discrimination.
And of course, it wouldn’t just be Hiasl. Any such declaration would include all chimps. Since forced imprisonment of “persons” is probably against the law in Vienna, all chimps would be set free immediately.
In the end, I’d like to see a compromise. Set the chimps free but put animal rights activists in cages.

Career Politicians. Do we need 'em?
Regardless of which party you are generally affiliated with, wouldn’t it be great if we could weed out all the scum bags? All political parties have them. Typically, they are the career politicians. The ones who have been around so long that they think they answer to no one. These are the professional liars, the accomplished thieves, the elite egomaniacs, the gluttonous power mongers, and those who believe that their family’s wealth makes them special.
Why do we keep voting these parasites into office?
One reason is that the longer we keep these slobs in Washington, the more powerful they become. This often translates into more pork spending in their home states/districts. So, in the current environment, it may actually be in the people’s best interest to keep sending the most dishonorable and selfish individual they can dig up to congress.
A good friend of mine recently suggested that I should stop just complaining about things on this blog and to offer my suggested solution(s) to the problem as well. Okay, here goes . . .
The answer: . . . . . . . . term limits!
Congress likes to talk about how important they are. Whenever they feel that their relevance is being questioned or tested, they turn absolutely rabid. Just like the President, and for the same reasons, members of congress should be subject to term limits. Their positions are simply too important, and too subject to abuse, not to impose mandatory term limits.
With term limits, no congressman or senator would be around long enough to become quite so self-important and corrupt.
With term limits, voters won’t be so anxious to elect the least honorable candidate.
With term limits, there will never again be an “old boys” network controlling Washington.
Of course, it’s not your state, or my state that elects these scum bags. Term limits will protect the rest of us from the slovenly apathy of those states that do.
One sure way of identifying the truly dishonorable members of congress is to ask them about term limits. Those who vehemently disagree with term limits “because it’s not good for the people of their state/district” . . . . . are the worst of the lot and need to be gotten rid of as soon as possible.
Think Term Limits!
