EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT...
Today's News & Views EXTRA is my movie review of Morgan Spurlock's anti-Ronald
McDonald "muck-umentary." If you didn't happen to catch the film's theatrical
release this weekend...relax, you didn't miss a thing. Unless you like biased,
left-wing propaganda. Read all about it at:

WHY THEIR MASCOT IS THE JACKASS
"This (Abu Ghraib prison incident) is the biggest coverup of all
administrations. I would go so far as to ask for the impeachment of the
commander-in-chief."
- Rep. Dianne Watson, California Democrat

AT LEAST ONE DEMOCRAT "GETS IT"
"I cannot help but say ... that those who were responsible for killing 3,000
Americans on September 11th, 2001, never apologized. Those who have killed
hundreds of Americans in uniform in Iraq, working to liberate Iraq and protect
our security, have never apologized. And those who murdered and burned and
humiliated four Americans in Fallujah a while ago, never (gave) an apology (to)
anybody."
- Sen. Joseph Lieberman (D-Ct.) on the absence of apologies from Arab leaders
when Muslims commit far greater atrocities against Americans and our allies
WE'RE NO SAINTS
"Demanding that troops, who are subject on a daily basis to roadside bombs,
suicide attacks, ambushes and rocket-propelled grenades, should respond without
any cruel or unprofessional incidents would be a demand for sainthood."
- Columnist Barbara Amiel, Daily Telegraph of London, 5/3/04
SHOCKING REVELATION: BAD GUYS ARE IN PRISON!
"I am now officially sick-and-tired of the self-serving and largely uninformed
hand-wringing about the goings on at Abu Ghraib prison outside of Baghdad. As
someone who has actually been on the grounds of Abu Ghraib prison, let me
explain a few things. First of all, there is no excuse for what a few soldiers
did; but there is also no reason to make this into the moral equivalent of the
Black Plague.
"It should be pointed out that the prisoners at Abu Ghraib are not Boy Scouts
rounded up for jaywalking. These are bad guys who either blew up or shot a
coalition member; or were caught assembling an explosive device; or were caught
in a place where the makings of explosive devices were found; or were caught
with a cache of weapons. See the pattern here?
"In short they were trying to kill me and others like me. And if they succeeded
in doing that, they were going to come over here and try to kill you. Ugly
thought? You bet. But that is the kind of prisoner being held in the terrorist
section at Abu Ghraib."
- Rich Galen, "Mullings," 5/9/04 (NOTE: Welcome back, Rich! We're all very
happy for your safe return from duty in Iraq.)
GENERAL DISASTER
"The officer in charge of the (Abu Ghraib prison) facility at the time the
apparent abuses took place was Reserve Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski, who has now
gone on national television to defend herself. Speaking on ABC's 'Good Morning
America,' Gen. Karpinski says that she 'did not know anything about it. And had
I known anything about it I certainly would have reacted very quickly.' But
that's the point. She didn't know what was going on, and she should have."
- Columnist Linda Chavez
GENERAL DISGRACE
"We lost the (Vietnam) war at home, and at home John Kerry was the field
general."
- Robert Elder of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth
SHOO-IN DELUSIONS
"The conventional wisdom in Washington right now is that John Kerry is such an
awful candidate that he is doomed in the fall. . . . I'm not so sure. My
instinct is that this election will not, in fact, be close. Either Mr. Bush will
convince people that he is winning the war on terror and turning the economy
around and win handsomely, or he won't, and Mr. Kerry will win big. . . . It's a
long, long way to go, and I'm predicting nothing (except a massive gay-baiting
campaign by Karl Rove in the summer). But I do think that Republicans who think
they're a shoo-in are deluding themselves."
- Andrew Sullivan's "The Weekly Dish," 5/7/04
DON'T CALL IT CENSORSHIP
"Disapprove, if you like, of the Disney company's decision to forbid a
subsidiary to distribute the latest concoction of left-wing zealot Michael
Moore. But don't call it censorship, which is what the government does when it
tells private parties they cannot say something publicly."
- Columnist Jay Ambrose
THE CANNON TWO-STEP
"Congressman Chris Cannon of Utah is still telling Utah constituents that his
AgJOBS bill is not an amnesty for illegal aliens. . . . Congressman Cannon and
his paid lobbyist friends in Washington are telling people in Utah that the bill
isn't an amnesty because it only gives permanent legal status to temporary legal
workers; illegal aliens, they point out, can only get temporary legal status.
See how that works?
"When the glaring subterfuge was pointed out to a worker during a phone call
yesterday to Cannon's Provo office, the worker responded that it was 'just
semantics.' We call it just lying. It's like a guy leaving Salt Lake City for
Las Vegas, and his wife stops him at the door saying, 'You're not going to Las
Vegas, are you?' And he says, 'No, I'm going to Provo,' thinking to himself,
with his fingers crossed behind his back, 'and from there I'm going to Las
Vegas.' The man might pretend he's 'technically' correct, but he's telling a
lie, of course, the kind that even schoolchildren laugh at."
- ProjectUSA, 5/5/04
HERE WE GO AGAIN
A Baltimore-area high school known for its "environmental activism" is the
latest re-education camp standing in the way of a group of kids attempting to
establish a Teenage Republican Club on campus. "Five students at Sparrows
Point High School...say school administrators and teachers have intentionally
delayed their efforts" to organize a TARS chapter, reported the Washington Times
yesterday (http://washingtontimes.com/metro/20040508-115726-5851r.htm).
Club President Donald Caldwell said, "The point of the club is to get younger
kids involved so they don't have to follow in their parents' footsteps and be
liberals."
The school principal, Robert SantaCroce, had refused to allow the club to form
until pressured recently by a complaint to the district superintendent by
Caldwell's father and state Republican officials. However, after SantaCroce
relented, lo and behold, the teacher who had agreed to serve as the club's
required faculty adviser suddenly changed his mind and withdrew. What do you
want to bet this teacher was made a not-so-subtle offer he couldn't refuse?
If no teacher will step forward to serve as the faculty adviser for this group,
we think it's only fitting that Mr. SantaCroce himself fill that role until
another teacher can be recruited. Why should these kids get jerked around just
because of their politically incorrect views? Is the lesson our government
schools want to impart on today's youth "think like us or else"?
BRUSHFIRE ALERT: Mr. SantaCroce can be reached at (410) 887-7517 or via email
at rsantacroce@bcps.org. Ask him what
he's doing to make sure there's no "thought" discrimination at Sparrows Point
High School. And ask him to PERSONALLY recruit a faculty adviser for these
budding political activists. I'll just bet he can be awfully persuasive if he
wants to be.
ROAD TRIP!
Nathan Tabor's campaign says I don't know what I'm talking about when it comes
to Li'l Nate's business genius, so they dared me to come down to NC-5 for an
expense paid fact-finding mission, assuming I'd never agree to make such a
trip. "I offer you an opportunity to see for yourself," taunts a Tabor staffer,
"but you would rather hide in Maryland."
Hide? Me? No way, Jose. I'm there, dude! What time's the press conference?
Alas, like Tabor's candidacy itself, the offer was far less than met the eye.
Upon further e-discussion, I was informed I was being offered a free room at a
Motel 6 or something if I'd come take the company tour...period. No
compensation for my time, travel expenses, meals, etc. Nada. Zip. Zero. Not
even a soy-burger. What a surprise, huh?
This kid really is all hat and no cattle. Cheap little SOB, too.
PERVERT ALERT
One of our loyal News & Views readers sent us a link to a rather interesting -
and disturbing - website this week. If you type in a zip code from most states,
a listing of all known sex offenders residing in that zip code will pop up on
your screen, complete with address and details of the offense. Found two of 'em
on my own street! Here's the link to check up on your own neighborhood:
