A lifeguard for a kiddy pool? Yep! DUMBASS OF THE DAY!

For nearly a quarter of a century, Lourdes Maxwell has celebrated the arrival of summer by putting a paddling pool in the garden.

At least it is really starting to look that way. Great news for Iraq and America, heartache for Moonbats!

In Baghdad’s Sadr City today, once again, street vendors line the sidewalk with colorful shirts and shoes. Vegetable markets, once again, have fresh limes and produce. Family stores, once again, are back in business.

 I guess his official title would be Secretary of State John F^$#ing Kerry

Kerry aides insist he’s not angling for the job and point to his long involvement in foreign affairs. It started with his famous testimony as a 27-year-old veteran questioning the Vietnam War before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. It continues today, at age 64, as the No. 3 Democrat on the same panel.

Biden might be funnier as secretary. Imaging the foot-in-mouths from him.

Hey Obama, these vets have a very important question for you.

NO, NO , and NO, this is not what you might think! This is NOT a story about more Democrat defeatism!, No, it is about al-Qaeda coming to grips with why THEY LOST in Iraq! Got that you Leftist, non-bathing, anti-American, Marxist wannabe Hippies? Even al-Qaeda knows THEY LOST! DEAL WITH IT!

Mother Earth and Gorezilla are smiling!

New explosives could be more powerful and safer to handle than TNT and other conventional explosives and would also be more environmentally friendly. TNT, RDX and other explosives commonly used in military and industrial applications often generate toxic gases upon detonation that pollute the environment. Moreover, the explosives themselves are toxic and can find their way into the environment due to incomplete detonation and as unexploded ordnance. They are also extremely dangerous to handle, as they are highly sensitive to physical shock, such as hard impacts and electric sparks. To make safer, more environmentally friendly explosives, scientists in Germany turned to a recently explored class of materials called tetrazoles. These derive most of their explosive energy from nitrogen instead of carbon as TNT and others do.

And I must say, Senator McCain handled these miscreant losers with class!

Hey, Geraldo, a quick question for you. Ever heard of a sovereign nation? Rule of law?

Obviously not!

Driven by the most savage talk radio and cable news anti-immigrant propaganda campaign in our nation’s history, the Department of Homeland Security has unleashed an unprecedented crackdown on undocumented workers. In an effort not seen since the panic unleashed by the Great Depression, federal law enforcement has been targeting technically illegal workers who have been long tolerated in industries like meat packing, poultry processing and agriculture. In the terror created, fruit trees are being cut down and fields lie fallow, for want of traditional workers.Many hundreds of otherwise law abiding, hard working, family men and women have been arrested in recent weeks under circumstances more appropriate to operations targeting al Qaeda. With noise and fury, these heavily armed and armored SWAT teams from ICE, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, are surrounding a particular plant, then with great quasi-military flourish sweeping in to arrest and handcuff the ‘aliens’, bring them en masse to a hearing, conviction and sentencing, all pending deportation. These completely overdone costume dramas are targeting cowering economic refugees just trying to feed their families. They would be ridiculed as overkill and posturing by any real soldier or cop.

GUTLESS!

John McCain’s proposal is nothing more than a political stunt, and we don’t need any more ‘Mission Accomplished’ banners or walks through Baghdad markets to know that Iraq’s leaders have not made the political progress that was the stated purpose of the surge. The American people don’t want any more false promises of progress, they deserve a real debate about a war that has overstretched our military, and cost us thousands of lives and hundreds of billions of dollars without making us safer.

Yet again one of life’s great truths is proven! Challenge a Leftist to back up their rhetoric with action or facts, and they will run like a cheap pair of hose!

The ultimate choice?

A Montana woman whose newborn son was found dead in a trash bin near the University of Southern California campus in 2005, pleaded no contest to child endangerment Tuesday after four attempts to charge her with murder were dismissed.

Hey, a dead baby is a dead baby is a choice right?

Sit back, pop an ice cold JW Dundees Pale Bock, and enjoy! H/T Hot Air, which has some background

WAY TO GO MORON! This guy might be to stupidest man EVAH!

He continues to harp on the need for agricultural experts in Afghanistan. He insists they are desperatey needed to teach the Afghans how to grow something other than poppies. As Hot Air explains the Afghans already jnow HOW to grow other crops! The needs are in other areas.

Here is the video of Gaffesiah beating the dead dumb horse!

More good news from Iraq, via an unusual source, the LA Slimes

Four summers ago, when militiamen loyal to hard-line Shiite Muslim cleric Muqtada Sadr were battling U.S. forces in the holy city of Najaf, Mohammed Lami was among them.“I had faith. I believed in something,” Lami said of his days hoisting a gun for Sadr’s Mahdi Army militia. “Now, I will never fight with them.”Lami is no fan of U.S. troops, but after fleeing Baghdad’s Sadr City district with his family last month, when militiamen arrived on his street to plant a bomb, he is no fan of the Mahdi Army either. Nor are many others living in Sadr City, the 32-year-old said. Weeks of fighting between militiamen and Iraqi and U.S. forces, with residents caught in the middle, has chipped away at the Sadr movement’s grass-roots popularity, Lami said.

Update! More good news! Violence in Iraq hits four-year low! From the LA Times again

The U.S. military said Sunday that the number of attacks by militants in the last week dropped to a level not seen in Iraq since March 2004.About 300 violent incidents were recorded in the seven-day period that ended Friday, down from a weekly high of nearly 1,600 in mid-June last year, according to a chart provided by the military.

Wait, did I say gaffe? No, my friends this was a DAMNED LIE! A DAMNED LIE worthy of Al Gore in the 2000 campaign. Hillary may have Tuzla, but the Gaffesiah has his uncle!

UPDATE!! It was not Uncle Gaffesiah, but Great-Uncle Gaffesiah!, Oh and he liberated Orhduf, not Auschwitz. OOPSSIAH!

Exit question: And you thought Slick Willie had SMS?

Sweetness and Light has the story

Billions of pounds are being wasted in paying industries in developing countries to reduce climate change emissions, according to two analyses of the UN’s carbon offsetting programme.

Leading academics and watchdog groups allege that the UN’s main offset fund is being routinely abused by chemical, wind, gas and hydro companies who are claiming emission reduction credits for projects that should not qualify. The result is that no genuine pollution cuts are being made, undermining assurances by the UK government and others that carbon markets are dramatically reducing greenhouse gases, the researchers say. The criticism centres on the UN’s clean development mechanism (CDM), an international system established by the Kyoto process that allows rich countries to meet emissions targets by funding clean energy projects in developing nations.

Credits from the project are being bought by European companies and governments who are unable to meet their carbon reduction targets.

The market for CDM credits is growing fast. At present it is worth nearly $20bn a year, but this is expected to grow to over $100bn within four years. More than 1,000 projects have so far been approved, and 2,000 more are making their way through the process.

Michelle Malkin has the scoop via the NY Slimes. The same Liberals who support Gay adoption, which I really have no problem with, are concerned over transracial adoptions.

Minority children in foster care are being ill-served by a federal law that plays down race and culture in adoptions, a report released on Tuesday said.The report, based on an examination of the law’s impact over a decade, said that minority children adopted into white households face special challenges and that white parents need preparation and training for what might lie ahead.

Ah, the wonder of the Messiah Gaffesiah!

The gaffe master is now seeing dead people in his audience.

And, the Barack Obama Campaign actually posted video of this latest Obama gaffe on YouTube.

This time Barack Obama is seeing America’s fallen heroes in his audience in New Mexico:

Several excellent links to blogs honoring those to which we owe a debt that can only be paid by NEVER surrendering our freedom they died for.

SistaToldjah has some fascinating history concerning the roots of Memorial Day. Seems Southern women, the finest on earth, began decorating the graves of Confedeate heroes, and by 1865 Mississippi, South Carolina, and Virginia had precedents for Memorial Days…..

Michelle Malkin has a beautiful tribute

Ed Morrissey ay Hot Air has some touching personal reflections

Jawa Report share the words of FDR

My partner in crime here, Edward Daley remembers with “In Flanders Field” at The Daley-times Post 

Confederate Yankee posts this touching video

Seems that EVERYONE is remembering today, well, except for Google of course!

Hmmm, he says she can win the general election, excet of course, for the Media!

Great news, the all-caring Communist government in China, you know the one that forces women to have abortions, sets a strict one child policy for families, and severely restricts basic human rights, has decided to allow parents who lost a child in the recent earthquakes to “replace” them!

Chinese officials said Monday that the country’s one-child policy exempts families with a child killed, severely injured or disabled in the country’s devastating earthquake.Those families can obtain a certificate to have another child, the Chengdu Population and Family Planning Committee in the capital of hard-hit Sichuan province said.

Apparently Castro thinks his nations troubles are less the fault of the failure of Comunism, than America’s evil doing. According to El Swino, Cunbans will starve if Obama does not lift the Cubam embargo.

Fidel Castro criticized Sen. Barack Obama on Monday, writing that the Democratic presidential hopeful’s plan to maintain Washington’s trade embargo against Cuba will cause hunger and suffering on the island.

“Obama’s speech can be translated as a formula for hunger for the country,” Castro wrote in a column published by government-run newspapers, referring to remarks Obama made before the influential Cuban American National Foundation in Miami last week.

If the South had won the war we would not have such stupidity!
