The State At War With The Nation
"For "Our Enemy, the State" is an exact description of a regime that seeks to convert into law a Senate amnesty for millions of illegal aliens, while authorizing transnational companies to go abroad to bring hundreds of thousands of foreign workers here every year to displace Americans."

George Romero's Night Of The Living Democrats
What is it with failed Democratic Presidents and defeated Presidential nominees that makes them need to hold on? Can you ever recall hearing Ford, Bush I, Dole, or Reagan(when still alive..RIP Ronnie) shooting their mouths off all over the world against a sitting President, and siding with everyone but the USA. Now before all you hippies get your tie-dyes in a bunch. I know, we get it, criticizing the administration doesn't make you un-patriotic or un-American (but letting China steal our military secrets does...you hear me Bubba Gore Shrimp Co?)
Says algore now...
"If you have a renegade band of rightwing extremists who get hold of power, the whole thing goes to the right."
BRILLIANT!
So, were back to the vast right wing conspiracy thingamajiggy huh...hmm. Well I'll score that a ZERO for originality, ZERO for intelligent observation (rightwingers moving things right...excellent point jackass), but in all fairness I would give it a 100 for the danceability as the gore's themselves with their Soul Train moves have shown us, if not for tipper's work with the PMRC, which has prevented me from commenting, so I render ZEROS across the board.
What is it with the dems like Carter, Clinton, Gore and Kerry (think about that dream team for a moment), do they have so little faith in themselves and their failed policies that they must constantly seek the spotlight and approval. It shows a lack of class, a lack of character, and a lack of respect for the office they held or attempted to hold. As a group they are, in a word lacking.
I hope algore runs, it will be fun. Fun to see all the hippie pinkos backpedal as fast as bubba pulling his pants down for a chubby intern on their staunch moral stance against the evils of the big corporate GOP money machine, of which algore is now a part of. On a side note, isnt it cute how all these millionaire hippies, such as algore and the Klannedys with their private planes and Escalade cavalades are such defenders of the environment. The only downside is he'll probaly win.

Burger Quest
You my friends are looking at hands down the best burger in New York City. Let me repeat. Hands down the best burger in the city, but Im not going to tell you where its from. Thats right. The burger is that good, I tell noone about. Noone. Close friends and colleagues are kept in the dark over the secret location. The reason being is the place is never crowded, and I want to keep it that way. Im a prick like that. However what I am willing to do is over the next few months leading up to the Fourth of July, reveal clues to my fellow Aurorans, all I ask if and when you figure out the secret locale...you never speak the name on this or any other blog, and you use absolute discretion over who you reveal this info to. Now let the games begin. The place could just as easily be described as a bar than as a restaurant. So in the truest definition it is a bar/restaurant
Malkins blog.......
Has a shocking conversation going on regarding a piece of the new "comprehensive" immigration legislation. Apparently we are to ask the mexicans before we can put up a fence on our own land......
(b) CONSULTATION REQUIREMENT.--Consultations between United States and Mexican authorities at the federal, state, and local levels concerning the construction of additional fencing and related border security structures along the United States-Mexico border shall be undertaken prior to commencing any new construction, in order to solicit the views of affected communities, lessen tensions and foster greater understanding and stronger cooperation on this and other important issues of mutual concern.

Tom Tancredo for President?
Well either Tancredo, or Rhino. Either one would be a good candidate........
My preference would be a new party. My preference would be to build an alternative to the Republican-Democratic political trap. But time is short. I don't see this happening in 2008.

Why the dems will fail
Because they're haters.
My prediction is that the dems will NOT retake congress in the midterm elections.
But you say look at the polls, the presidents approval rating is at historic lows, and the republican led congress is even worse!
Here's the problem as i see it, the democrats ideas/message either don't exist or are so negative that no one wants to hear it. They talk about surrender in Iraq, impeaching the president, "paying" for tax cuts. They blame the republicans for the high gas prices, the poor response to natural disasters, and global warming. (which i don't believe in)
So what's their answer? What's their idea to make things right?
That wasn't a rhetorical question, i'm really looking for an answer, and so are the rest of the voters!

How can any American support the aclu?
If we're treating little old ladies with canes as suspects — singling them out for questioning by Transportation Security Administration personnel — what sense does it make to ignore mosques? And as to Syed waving the First Amendment at us, it isn't bake sales and bingo games the FBI is investigating at Muslim places of worship.

WTF
This country doesnt need any more Mexicans, what we really need is just one Brazilian, as in a brazilian bikini wax to get rid of our Bush. Riddle me this fellow Aurorans...why the hell is the President of Mexico allowed into our country to actively campaign against American interests.
Not for one donkey minute watching Dubya's speech last week on immigration did I think he was sincere, this only cements my opinion that he is a typical Skull n Crossbones One World Order globalist that if he had his druthers would not only not build a wall to protect our borders, but would probaly install cable cars with AC, free chalupas, and Telemundo on flatscreens to make the illegal invasion more enjoyable for the criminals.
Well played Mr President. This was your shot to salvage your legacy, but you opt to let the Fox raid the henhouse under your watch, and have sold your Country out for a few rating points. Jackass!
Reminds me of a joke Rhino sent me awhile back....
Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing.
He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."
"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"
His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion,
nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.
Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

FOREWORD
Political passions fade with time, leaving their pale shadows to be recovered by historians who usually affect an objective, if not amused, detachment from them. American politics have seldom generated the fierceness of passion that they did in their first decade. The extravagant exchanges in the contests between Federalists and Republicans in the late 1790's seem today so to exceed the issues as to merit the patronizing dismissal that scholars have generally given them. After all, the nation survived, President John Adams did not secure the crown to which he allegedly aspired, and President Thomas Jefferson succeeded him without bloodshed. Accordingly the dire predictions of tyranny by journalists like Benjamin Bache and William Duane in their notorious newspaper, the Aurora, have become mere curiousities, extreme examples of the bad manners that political contests so often provoke. Edmund S. Morgan

The Final Countdown
Once again I will risk my own personal safety and well being to expose the devil that walks amongst us. I have seen the great evil and thy name be iPod.
The propephcy as told by the donkey is beginning to unfold and I fear the end is nigh.
Consider the following...
Styx (Band) : Foretellers of the Robotic Age, thru their best selling single Mr Roboto, in which the last words Kilroy predicted the death of radio at the hands of the iPod.
Styx (River) : "A river that separates the world of the living from the world of the dead. Styx it is said winds around Hades (hell or the underworld are other names) nine times. Its name comes from the Greek word stugein which means hate, Styx, the river of hate." courtesy of Michael Dawson
Styx (Goddess) : Mother of Nike
Nike : Goddess of Victory
Is Jobs telling us that the War is already over and that his iTunes minions (iTunions) were victorious, or is he just taunting us over the inevitable end of our existence? I pray its not too late. Repent now, dust off your old Walkmans, dig out your old "Kick Ass Prom" , "Summer '88" and "Cool Songs" mixed tape collection, and make like Frodo to Mt Doom and destroy the white (portable) devil while you still can. Fourteen days until 06/06/06
The circle is almost complete.... story

Beware Of The Dwarf
Ive got to admit DaVinci fever has afflicted the Donkey. At the risk of exposing my booksnobbery being one of the few to have not read the book (not that I deem this book unworthy of my keen intellect, its just Im a snob against ALL books...waste of paper...SAVE THE TREES...smoke a bong) and have no intention to see the movie, as theaters in Manhattan are a hotbed of jackassery and may very well be the most annoying situation to put a non-people person such as myself in, so I avoid them at all costs.
That being said. I am watching any and every program on The History Channel pertaining to this subject, and if you watch THC..you know that it has become The DaVinci Channel all day all night...(In Sting voice...I want my Da-Vin-Ci) Seeing that I triple majored at University in Theological/European History/Aluminum Foil Haberdashery studies, there are no major revelations to these shows and the educational value is nil (donkey thirsts knowledge...oh wait donkey thirsts beer). Regardless, Im hooked, badly. Its calling me Pookie. In fact Ive watched most of the programs more than once. Are you down with OCD...yeah you know me.
So what I would like to do is to make a suggestion or recommendation, if you will...for those out in Auroraland that are like me and are jonesing for albino assassins, Catholic conspiracists, lovable librarians, murdering midgets, and Dudley Moore. Thats right I said it... DudleyFrickinMoore. On top of that, I will raise you a Burgess Meredith.
The movie of course is the Barry Manilow theme song singing Foul Play, starring the woman to whom I lost my virginity...Goldie Hawn (sock it to me, if you catch my drift) and post-SNL, pre-Fletch, pre-Griswald Chevy Chase. I will not go into any of the movie details, but if you are of the inkling to see The Davinci Code, but have apprehensions of supporting the Commie Pink Mafia, that is Hollywood, or fear invoking the wrath of your local clergyman (so much scarier than the boogeyman for pre-pubescent boys)...walk dont run(and not with scissors), better yet hop in your gas guzzler and head to your nearest non-Blockbuster video store and rent this flick. Did I mention Dudley ( Youre a hooker?) Moore, who in this movie had hands down the best bachelor pad ever.
Overall I rate this movie one long-ear up, and it would have been two if Goldie hadve shown her rack. Skin to win, skin to win baby!

The Company You Keep
Scumbags are friends with scumbags and Eliot Spitzer is in bed with the law firm of law firm Milberg Weiss.
"Yet Mr. Spitzer, who normally interprets New York law to expand his jurisdiction, doesn't seem to have taken much interest in pursuing Milberg Weiss before or during the federal investigation. Likewise, after winning re-election in 2002 in part with a cash infusion from Milberg Weiss, Mr. Hevesi just happened to hire the firm to represent the state's public-employee pension fund in - you guessed it - a shareholder suit against Bayer AG."

Harry Reid My Lips...No New Mexicans
If Reid is on your side it cant be right, and it aint. I need more info and the following statement may or may not be numerically accurate, but I got to throw it out there. There was a guest on Tucker last night discussing the current Immigration Bill and he stated that the number of illegals to be granted AMNESTY (call it what it is) under this program would near 193,000,000 in the next twenty years.
You see, it seems that in this bill, crime is rewarded and after eleven years in this country illegally not only will the criminal be entitled to citizenship but the criminal's family members back home will as well. That may very well be the most retarded thing I have ever heard. Foreign born nationals will become American citizens having never set foot in this country just because someone in their family has been elusive enough to avoid capture for the crime of illegally entering this country, working here illegally, and collecting social services illegally.
It reminds me of the time when I was Big Wheel jacked in LA after kindergarten and I had to smack four or five mexicans around to get my ride back. Morale of the story...Dont mess with a Donkeys big wheel and sometimes its better to err on the side of kicking too much ass as opposed to too little when it comes to defending your property, and America is the property of the United States Of America's taxpayers....its not the UN's, it's not the Hague's, its not the globalists, it's not Mexico's, and its not the immigrants here illegally....It's ours. Now beat it.

Straight Outta Da Convent
Recently I wrote of the Da Vinci uproar and how the church should lighten up. Thats a pretty consistent theme with me as I find zealotry in any faith to be jackasine, but it got me thinking.
Let's suppose that the Catholic movement took to the streets to burn flags with Tom Hanks image or string Opie up in effigy to protest this movie. As much as the thought of a Million Plaid Mini-Skirt Catholic School Girl March appeals to me, my first hand knowledge of Catholic education/military tactics and the modus operandi of thee nunery makes me recognize that the Sisters Wit Bad Habits are not to be trifled with. Imagine a horde of flying nuns armed with no more than their wooden rulers of terror wrecking havoc on the streets of this country and abroad smacking knuckles left and right until the world recognizes their might....and their right to religious freedom..aka the right to censor what they deem offensive to their faith.
You may think Im crazy but I went to Catholic school and its not as far fetched as you may think, I recall getting smacked as a wee lad by Sister Margaret Thatcher I meant Sister Margaret Patrick and being called a devil worshiper. My crime? Carrying a copy of Vincent Bugliosi's Helter Skelter.
Back to my point, or lack there of. If this scenario were to play out, would Nick At Nite refuse to air re-runs of Bosom Buddies to avoid the risk of offending those bingo loving Catholics? Would nations boycott Aunt Bee's apple pie to punish Ron Howard for his involvement in such overt blasphemy. Probaly not. And justly so. Well thats what happened in a matter of speaking with the recent Mohammed comics and the riots that followed, and that shiite aint right.
Appeasement never works and maniacal zealotry should never be rewarded, but this brings me back to something that always struck me as bigotry of convenience. I remember years back there was a big hub (and probaly rightly so) about the portrayal of black folk in the cartoon Tom and Jerry so what they actually did was go back and change the voices (usually a southern accent replaced by a more northern urban voice) and in some instances the skin color in skits. The reason I bring this up is I dont recall them ever changing the voice of the Irish maid or the big dumb Donkey cop. Im not using this example to make some social commentary about race, rather to point out that its open season on some groups and others are off limits.
In this case its the Catholic Church. Ive got no problem with this movie and I might even go see it, if I hear theres plenty of gratuitous nudity and lots of explosions, but let me get this straight before I end my donkatribe, Muslim bashing bad but Catholic bashing good. The media's reaction to both stories sure leads me to believe thats the case.
I guess what Im trying to say or ask is...is it just that some groups are more sensitive (in the case of Mohammed jockeys...homicidal) than others or is it true that the squeaky wheel gets the grease*?
*yes that was an italian slur

Knickerdebacles
I figured Id weigh in on the current New York Knicks debacle. You see I have been a Knicks fan all my life. That was until Isiah Thomas took over as GM. Ill explain more of that later. Isiah was one of the greatest guards to play the game, just an all out tough as nails competitor. As a business man, thats a whole nother story. Everything the guy has touched has turned to mush, whether it was the Toronto Raptors, the CBA, and now the Knicks. Defenders will point to the success he had with Indiana (yet no rings), to which I will respond that those Pacer teams were built by the two Larrys...Brown (ironically?) and Bird. On the court he was a champion, but off the court he has been nothing but a loser.
Now back to the reason I have abandoned (or was it the other way around) the Knicks. As I get older sports (besides baseball, football, tennis, golf, lacrosse, cycling, softball, and competitive beer pong) take up less and less of my time and devotion. Im just far too busy (contrary to my incessant blogging) but the true reason I no longer consider myself a Knicks fan is not the bone headed drafts or trades they have made or even the constant losing (Im a Mets fan afterall) Its because under Isiah Thomas' leadership they have become a classless organization.
Let me explain. One of my good friends is the son of a former NBA coach. This coach was an assistant in Detroit when Isiah become a champion. He was rewarded for this friendship by being named the first head coach of Toronto when they got a team after Isiah was named GM. Long story short the coach was fired after "philosophical differences" with Isiah i.e. the coach wanted to win games and put the best team on the court not showcase draft picks. Thats the business of the game and the coach rebounded like the class act that he is (and good ol' Queens donkey) and ended up working for the Knicks (courtside with Spike for me while it lasted...I was the handsome honky front row with a beer in my hand) again after a stint with the Pacers and a prior stint with the Knicks under Van Gundy (I sat next to the Back-Biter...YES!!! and Johnny Hoops those years)
Heres where it gets ugly. During one of the worst ice storms to hit NYC in years (Jan '04) it was business as usual for the Knicks and all team members and coaches were expected to show up that off day even though The Daily News reported there were coaching changes afoot (although they got it wrong and claimed Fratello was the replacement and it turned out to be Lenny Wilkins) Speaking for myself if Im gonna get fired, dont make me drive in a blizzard to do it, and especially dont make me work that day and then fire me...be a man and get it over with and let me move on. Well Ill let you guess what Isiah did.
Heres where it gets worse. Driving home in the ice storm that night the coach's family got into a pretty serious car accident (luckily noone was hurt too bad, but everybody got kind of banged up) Every single member of the Knicks team called the hospital with their well wishes, even the boy blunder Dolan called...damn near the entire Knicks organization. Everyone that is besides Isiah Thomas, who had professed his love and lifelong friendship of coach in the press conference just a few short hours prior whilst announcing the firings. The guy is a scumbag plain and simple and that is why until the day he no longer wears the blue and orange and calls MSG home no more, I will not watch root or support the New York Knicks. And now an old irish proverb for The Knicks...
Now back to the reason I have abandoned (or was it the other way around) the Knicks. As I get older sports (besides baseball, football, tennis, golf, lacrosse, cycling, softball, and competitive beer pong) take up less and less of my time and devotion. Im just far too busy (contrary to my incessant blogging) but the true reason I no longer consider myself a Knicks fan is not the bone headed drafts or trades they have made or even the constant losing (Im a Mets fan afterall) Its because under Isiah Thomas' leadership they have become a classless organization.
Let me explain. One of my good friends is the son of a former NBA coach. This coach was an assistant in Detroit when Isiah become a champion. He was rewarded for this friendship by being named the first head coach of Toronto when they got a team after Isiah was named GM. Long story short the coach was fired after "philosophical differences" with Isiah i.e. the coach wanted to win games and put the best team on the court not showcase draft picks. Thats the business of the game and the coach rebounded like the class act that he is (and good ol' Queens donkey) and ended up working for the Knicks (courtside with Spike for me while it lasted...I was the handsome honky front row with a beer in my hand) again after a stint with the Pacers and a prior stint with the Knicks under Van Gundy (I sat next to the Back-Biter...YES!!! and Johnny Hoops those years)

La Frontera Se Cerró Ábrase Pronto
The word temporary has always been one of those vague words describing an indefinable non-specific amount of time. Words such as "in a while" , "not long", "in a bit", "sooner rather than later" Well the wordsmith that is our President has done the unthinkable and has actually for once cleared up the mess that is his vocabulary to help us understand the words that be coming out of his mouth.
As in....I will temporarily pretend to give two shites about the border, well the American border that is of course.
Pronunciation: 'tem-p&-"rer-E

Game One
Well softball season is under way and I am happy to report that my team won our home opener and not only do we have a one game winning streak we are also undefeated. It wasnt looking good as we were trailing 11-6 after four innings played, but sixteen unanswered runs sealed the deal for the Scrubs winning 22-11. About the name. I hate it. It always brings the obvious questions from the opposing team of whether we are...
a) Doctors
b) TLC groupies
c) The Zach Braff Fan Club
Truth is Im dont know where the name comes from and havent been satisfied with the answer Ive been told so I just show up play ball, kick ass, and chew gum. Its not the name that makes the team, but the team that makes the name...blah blah blah. I will add however that one of the more original and clever team names I have heard is "With Ourselves", as in...
"What are you doing tonight"
"I got a softball game"
"Oh yeah. Who you playing?"
"Were playing With Ourselves"
Juvenile, I know, but I got a kick out if it. Anyways final box score...
Donkey:
(WP 1-0 7.94 ERA)
4-5 (2B-2)
Runs: 3
RBI: 5
LOB: 2
Dugout Smokes: 2
Pints: 10
Wings: 7
Vicodins: 1
Next game is Thurs at the North Meadow. Tix available at box office now. Its Warlike bobble head night so get there early.

We Like The Cars, The Cars That Dont Go BOOM
Heres the deal. For starters we put an immediate end to the madness which is "The Bridge To Nowhere" and use that money to buy one thousand Cougars and Buffaloes.If we have to fight this war lets do it right. Im getting so god damn sick and tired of hearing about more American casualties as a result of ied's. If these camel banging cowards arent man enough to face us on the battlefield and their only course of action is to plant roadside bombs and that strategy is actually working for them, just a thought, being as I am not a brilliant military tactician (hold that...yes I am) Im just saying why dont we do everything in our power to remove that element from the equation or at the very least minimize it to the fullest extent. Also, from what I understand most of these devices are triggered by cellular phone, so once again, just a thought, why dont we jam their satellites (or shoot anybody with a Nokia) and send them back to the analog stone age.

The Subversive Plan To Ditch The Electoral College
May 8, 2006by Phyllis Schlafly
A plot is afoot to change the constitutional form of government in the United States by ditching the Electoral College. John Anderson, Birch Bayh and John Buchanan, three losers who were defeated in the 1980 Reagan landslide, are scheming to change the U.S. Constitution without complying with the amendment process. cont'd

New Sheriff In Town
A cowboy is riding across the plains of the old west, when he is captured by Indians. The tribe puts him on trial for crimes against the Indian Nation, and he is found guilty. "You have been sentenced to death," said the Chief, "but, as is our custom, you have three wishes to make as your last requests." The cowboy thought for a minute and said, "Well, for my first wish, I'll need my horse." "Give him his horse," said the Chief. The cowboy whispered something into the horses ear, and the horse took off like a shot across the prairie. 20 minutes later, the horse returned with a beautiful blonde woman on it's back. The cowboy looked at this, shrugged his shoulders, and helped the young lady off the horse. He then took her into the woods... "Second wish," said the Chief. "I'll need my horse again," said the cowboy. "Give him his horse," said the Chief. Once again, the cowboy whispered into the horse's ear, and once again the horse rode off over the prairie. 30 minutes later, the horse returned with a beautiful red-head on it's back. The cowboy looked up and shrugged, helped the young lady off the horse, and went into the woods... "This is your last wish," said the Chief," make it a good one." "I'll need my horse again." "Give him his horse," said the Chief. The cowboy grabbed each side of the horse's head and put his face right up to the horse's.
"I said POSSE!!!"
I was reminded of this joke after reading about the good work that Sheriff Joe Arpaio is doing defending our borders, by egad!, actually arresting criminals that are here illegally. This has obviously ruffled the lefts feathers. Keep up the good work. story

Oops
One one hand Im disappointed to see zacharias moussaoui did not recieve the death penalty, of which I have mixed feelings.
but... if there ever was a case
On the other Im damn glad to see it only took a few days to break this bitch down like the camel loving hump that he is.
"No virgins for me?
Then I call a do-over"
This jackass was defiant to the end and now not only will his dying days be that of a broken shell of a man, but his last public words to the world will be that of extolling the virtues and fairness of the American legal system. We appreciate the nice words sport...now rot in hell!

Lib Media Rush To Kennedys Defense
Im getting a kick out of how every loony lib out there is equating Patrick Kennedy's recent trouble with those of Rush Limbaugh. Not even close. Before I let The Great One take over I would like to make a few points.
First off, as popular and successful as Rush is, he is a radio personality, a glorified circus barker if you will. Im not saying this to disparage him, as I am a big fan, but to point out the huge difference between an entertainer and an elected official such as Patrick Kennedy. Im of the philosophy that politicians are the anti-Dove soap and are 99% scumbags. I also happen to give them the benefit of the doubt, until that time when their ruse is uncovered and they get caught with their pants down (bubba) or asleep/drunk at the wheel (teddy and patrick).
Which brings me to my next point before the hippies start crying illegal wiretaps, blood for oil, etc. We have a legal process in this country and Rush went through it. He was arrested, the DA tried to build a case against him...couldnt, case was dropped. Thats that.
Kennedy illegally avoided the field sobriety test resulting in officers on the scene being reprimanded. He avoids criminal charges and walks away with a few traffic citations plus a paid vacation to Raw-chaw-chaw. If a recent commenters assertion that Rhode Island is ga-ga for Pat Kennedy, there will be no repercussions come election time.
Shouldnt we hold our elected officials to higher standards? And when they are proven guilty or in Patrick Kennedys case, admits to breaking the law by driving a motor vehicle while impaired, shouldnt they lose the position to in which we entrusted them.

Teach A Man To Fish He Wont Get Fooled Again
Dubya to a German mag when asked his best and worst moments as President...
"I would say the best moment of all was when I caught a 7.5 pound (3.402 kilos) perch* in my lake," he told the newspaper in an interview published on Sunday.
Bush said the worst moment was September 11 when hijacked planes crashed into the World Trade Centre in New York and the Pentagon in Washington.
"In such a situation it takes a while before one understands what is happening," Bush said. "I would say that this was the hardest moment, once I had the real picture before my eyes."
911 to catching a perch. Hmm. Ive caught many a fish in my day and while I agree its a good enough feeling (even if its a stocked pond) I wouldnt equate it as the polar opposite of the worst foreign attack on American soil in history. Im curious what registers in the middle of his vast emotional spectrum....jelly beans and gonorrhea?
EE-Aw!!!
*update: apparently what he said was he caught a large mouth bass, and it was lost in translation. Regardless, I stick by my whack.

Party Is Over
Time to step down Patrick. If what you say is true and you do indeed have an addiction, and this is not just a diversion for your DUI and the cover-up that followed...then you have my full support to get clean if thats what you truly want, but as an elected official your days are over. As a pill popping bong smoking six pack a night donkey...I know whats up. But yous gots to go.
I know honor and integrity arent the strongpoints of the Kennedys but for once do the right thing and step down...you are not fit to serve the people that elected you. Look on the bright side, youre a Kennedy and you aint dead yet so you got that going for you. Rehab is not redemption.

Lighten Up St Francis Of Asinine
Anyone remember that blockbuster about the huge fish that swallows a man whole? Robert Shaw was awesome as Jonah. How bout Tim Robbins thespiatic tour de force in Jacob's Vision of a Ladder? My personal favorite was the Last Supper scene in The Big Chill with that kick ass retro soundtrack.
Im not going to attack the church (not now at least), but for the love of pete lighten up. Its a movie. I am one of the few to have not read the Davinci Code, but I gots to believe it cant portray the Catholic Church any worse than they've done themselves. It strikes me as just a smidgeon hypocritical that a religion that places so much on a piece of literature that is chock full of stories and parables attacks the entertainment industry so fervently.
That reminds me of one time when I broke the cardinal rule of discussing religion with a cousin's boyfriend from the old country. Somehow it came out that he was taught the Bible literally and believed it all to be fact, and he was an otherwise intelligent person. After I shattered his world with a few examples of how parables were used to convey a message...Im telling ya they guy wanted blood. Not mine mind you but his local priest that had deceived him all those years.
Now back to my original rant. As I was saying , ease up. Its just a movie. Its apparent that whoever who have working Public Relations for you, flat out sucks. Heres the deal, as repayment for all my years of Catholic schooling I will do you a solid pro bono. Heres my advice...
Keep your mouth shut, its just a movie.
It makes you look like small minded tight asses with something to hide.
You give free publicity to those you want censored....not very smart eh?
Your boycotts rarely work, and in fact have guaranteed this to be a blockbuster (see: Passion of the Christ)

Friends Dont Let Kennedys Drive...Ever
In the interest of National Security I propose all Kennedy family members (or for that matter any driver with the surname of shame) licenses be revoked immediately. Fine family tradition they got going there. cont'd
God Bless America
I got an email from a friend today, we've mentioned him before, he lives in Moscow. I thought it was interesting and i wanted to share a piece of it with you.
One disturbing thing here: Racism is getting very overt. Skinheads are killing or beating up people from the Caucuses and African students almost every day. They stabbed a 9-year-old Tajik girl to death in Petersburg a while back. Police rarely catch the perpetrators, and if they do, they are usually not convicted of any major crime.
A few days ago, cops showed up at my in-laws apartment. They were ordered to check all apartments in the area where Georgian families live. I don't let (my wife) go anywhere alone - she looks pretty typically Georgian, and that's not very safe right now.
Kind of makes you appreciate the US in a new way. That's what all those stupid anti-America jerks don't get - it's really much better there than anywhere else.
Interesting.
By the way donkey, he says hi, and he was cracking up over the "jew" song post.

The White Jesse Jackson
"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist" so says the line from The Usual Suspects. Well the devil aint got nuttin on Eliot Spitzer who has actually convinced the taxpayers of New York that hes a good guy and that he is on their side. Hes a crook. Correction. Hes worse than a crook. Hes a snake oil salesman giving people false hope all the while its shady business as usual for ES as he lines his pockets as well as those of his crony lawyer pals who in turn stuff his campaign coffers. The guys a rat plain and simple and I hope he enjoys all the cheese now because eventually all rats get greedy and get their neck snapped taking the bait one too many times.
The Passion of Eliot Spitzer
Is he telling the truth as he tries to "take people out"?
BY KIMBERLEY A. STRASSEL
Wednesday, May 3, 2006 12:01 a.m. EDT
New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer appeared on Comedy Central late last year, admitting to host Stephen Colbert that as a kid he was the "enforcer" on the soccer team, the guy who "took people out." "You play hard, you play rough, and hopefully you don't get caught," he said. The AG was trying for a laugh, but it may have been one of the more revealing insights into his career.

Wooden Soldiers
Heard something tonight that we all know, but that gets lost in the scuttlebutt of this whole polemic volleyball match which is our United States political system...
its our money in their pocket.
Far as I can see both of us sides isnt too happy bout the way theyre spending it. I see these ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT rallies across the country on the news and it gets me thinking. Im immigrant born, so theres no bigger supporter than me, but this is in an ILLEGAL invasion. Thats all Ill say bout that now, another rant another day. This revolucion is inspiring me. I have no studies on hand but from what my seismic readings are telling me is that the crowds were large, and Washington is listening. Why? I dont know. Future dem votes? Cheap labor for GOP biz? What exactly are they selling this country out for....we pay the taxes and they dont even listen to us, yet illegals catch their ear????
Memo:
To: Washington
From: Us
Subject: We pay the bills...smarten up.
Now heres the plan. We march. Everybody does it, apparently its the savvy political thing to do. I will take the burden of being the Rosa Parks of this movement. We will be known as Taxpayers Against Xenophobes (whats that? we are?) ...okay we will be known as Taxpayers Against Xylophones.
AND WE MARCH ON WASHINGTON!!!
unforeseen problems have delayed the march. It looks like apparently taxpayers have jobs and the next day off is El Memorialez Dia, and thats no good for us. Were going to the beach.
Stop being lazy America. The system is failing and were letting incompetents run this Country. Has to end. Parties have died before. Died for a reason. Died very quickly. Noone in DC is getting it done. Very few right now that I like on my side, and Im sure other side is just as unhappy with theirs. Only one thing to do...

Mets game just ended, lost 6 -2 to the Nationals. The kid Maine did as well as could be expected, dingers aside. Showed decent stuff on the spot. He just flat got outpitched by an even greener leaf, a young paddy by the name O'Connor, who handcuffed the quiet Met bats. Got me thinking. As far back as I remember, The Mets have always had problems with pitchers in their first career starts, even more so than other teams. Got me thinking. As far back as I remember, Big Blue has always had the same problem with opposing QB's. So heres my question or observation, what have you...
Do these huckleberries just get jacked
to play in New York for the first time?
or
Do New York scouts just suck?

Do New York scouts just suck?

Where Have All the Conservatives Gone?
The Republican Party’s top contenders for 2008 aren’t paleoconservatives—or any other kind.
By W. James Antle III
Come 2008, who will succeed George W. Bush at the helm of a troubled Republican Party? Though the next presidential race is far off, the question is already on conservatives’ minds.
The last few months haven’t been kind to Republican operatives who assumed President Bush’s slide in popularity would be temporary. Instead, his approval ratings have settled below 40 percent, averaging 38 percent over the last four Gallup polls, and the president appears determined to drag the rest of his party down with him. Bush remains committed to an increasingly unpopular stay-the-course position on Iraq and is actively pushing amnesty for illegal immigrants in defiance of the GOP base.
So far the grassroots have been generally reluctant to defy Bush in return. But public discontent with the White House’s immigration and foreign-policy initiatives could create as many opportunities for traditional conservatives as Democrats, something Bush Republicans are beginning to sense. The president has begun sprinkling his speeches with denunciations of “isolationism.” Fred Barnes declared, in the pages of The Weekly Standard no less, “It’s a paleo moment in America.”

If Eliot Spitzer really wanted to help the "little guy" instead of just getting free face time on TV making empty threats of non existent trials and lining his gubernatorial campaign's pockets...then perhaps just maybe instead of attacking HR Block for attempting to give lower income investors an opportunity to reap the benefits of tax deferred savings programs he should focus on the real fleecing of the famished masses.
Thats right Im talking about the price of hot dogs (and food vending in general) at Major League Ballparks. A regular donkey like me is good for about two dogs and six seven beers during a game costing roughly sixty bucks. Now being a young single man with disposable income I dont like the hit, but I can absorb it, but when I look upon a family of three four I cringe at the damage being done to the parents wallet...hot dogs, fries, ice cream, cotton candy, peanuts and crackerjacks...

If they cant pay it' a shame.
For its twenty, fifty, hundred bucks, youre out,
At the old ball game."
It strikes me as odd that the government had such a hard on for Microsoft and their monopolistic practices when the playing field always seemed fair enough to me and whether Gates built a better mousetrap or not he marketed it better than the next guy (Netscape, Apple, etc...and those guys arent exactly widows and orphans) but buy a hot dog ($6) and a beer ($7) at a ball park or a pack of gum at the airport ($2) and the real enemy will be revealed. Fight the power. Aramark is the devil.
Thats right Im talking about the price of hot dogs (and food vending in general) at Major League Ballparks. A regular donkey like me is good for about two dogs and six seven beers during a game costing roughly sixty bucks. Now being a young single man with disposable income I dont like the hit, but I can absorb it, but when I look upon a family of three four I cringe at the damage being done to the parents wallet...hot dogs, fries, ice cream, cotton candy, peanuts and crackerjacks...

The Aurora is Dead
Long Live The Aurora!!!
Long story short we are back bitches and a little pissed off. Seems Blogger inadvertently booted us from our own blog so after some sternly worded emails we are back in business.
Stay tuned for our investigative report on the Salsa industry's nefarious scheme to conquer America via the use of mind altering picantes.
...as well as the usual hard hitting Mark Whiten style journalism you have come to know and loathe.
