EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT...
So...exactly how many calories of Mickey D's food did "Super Size Me"
propagandist Morgan Spurlock actually stuff into his big mouth during his 30-day
stunt? No one knows. Why not? Because Lord of the Fries refuses to release his
actual diet diary showing exactly what he consumed and how much of it. Anyone
want to guess what it is he's trying to hide? Get an update on Morgan Spurlock
vs. Ronald McDonald in today's News & Views "Food Fight" EXTRA at:

NEWS YOU WON'T FIND IN THE "OLD MEDIA"
".(I)t will not surprise you to find out that things are better in Iraq - for
IRAQIs - than the popular press generally portrays. (For example), there are 26
million Iraqis. Most of them do not live in Fallujah or Najaf or Karbalah. Most
of them are sending their kids to school, going to work, starting or operating
businesses and generally doing what civilized people do everywhere in the
civilized world."
- Rich Galen, "Mullings," 5/26/04
YES, FOLKS...THIS IS UN-PATRIOTIC
"George W. Bush promised us a foreign policy with humility. Instead, he has
brought us humiliation in the eyes of the world. He promised to 'restore honor
and integrity to the White House.' Instead, he has brought deep dishonor to our
country and built a durable reputation as the most dishonest President since
Richard Nixon. Honor? He decided not to honor the Geneva Convention. Just as
he would not honor the United Nations. . . . And now he will not honor our
fallen dead by attending any funerals or even by permitting photos of their
flag-draped coffins.
"The unpleasant truth is that President Bush's utter incompetence has made the
world a far more dangerous place and dramatically increased the threat of
terrorist attacks against the United States. . . . And now the corrupt tree of a
war waged on false premises has brought us the evil fruit of Americans torturing
and sexually humiliating prisoners who are helpless in their care."
- Comrade Al Gore ranting at a MoveOn.org rally in New York on Wednesday
IT'S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD PARTY
"There is no longer a distinction between the rhetoric used by people on the
left fringe of the Democratic Party and the rhetoric used by the leaders of the
Democratic Party. This is the same vitriolic stream of political hate speech
we've seen since the Democrat primary began. Anger is not an agenda, but anger
is the only thing Democrats have been offering the American people. And it's
going to backfire."
- Christine Iverson of the Republican National Committee, Washington Times,
5/26/04
NOW, READ ABOUT A TRUE PATRIOT & HERO
You've now read Al Gore foaming at the mouth about the "deep dishonor" the
liberation of Iraq and Afghanistan has brought to this country. Now do yourself
a favor and read this story from the Wall Street Journal about Cpl. Jason
Dunham. Do it now before reading the rest of this issue of News & Views. And
when you're finished, just remember that Gore still enjoys Secret Service
protection, so restrain yourself from the urge to sock him right in the kisser.

WAKE-UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE
"Attorney General John Ashcroft and FBI Director Robert Mueller will hold a news
conference today to announce that there is intelligence indicating a major
terror attack could take place this summer. . . . Are you listening? Is this
enough to shock some of you out of your complacency? . . . There are people out
there who want you dead. They may have the weapons to make sure that happens.
"You are going to chose a commander in chief of the U.S. Military in about six
months. On the one hand you have a man who has earned the respect of our men and
women in uniform by showing them the respect they have earned and by leading
them with resolve and boldness. On the other hand you have a man who took the
quick and easy way out of Vietnam, and who's been called unfit to serve as
commander in chief by virtually all of the people who commanded him in Vietnam.
"...Who do you want in the Oval Office making decisions? Someone who has pledged
to take the battle to the terrorists with the full backing of the U.S. military,
or someone who wants to turn our security over to the United Nations? You have
a little over 5 months to decide. Your life could depend on it."
- Talk show host Neal Boortz
WHO'S TO BLAME FOR GAS PRICES?
"People are screaming about the high cost of gasoline. Two dollars a gallon for
gas is common. Why is the cost of gasoline so high? . . . A little research
shows one primary reason for the high cost of gasoline: There has not been a new
oil refinery built in the United States since 1979. . . . Why have there been no
new oil refineries built? The 'not in my back yard' mentality and the litigious
tree-hugging environmental wackos are the answer. How much higher do prices
need to go before people demand more production and refining capacity here at
home instead of depending on Middle Eastern potentates and ancient refineries?"
- George Pulliam, Austin American-Statesman, 5/25/04
OFF THE RESERVATION
"Sen. Sam Brownback, Kansas Republican, wants the United States to apologize to
the Indians for being mean to them. I have two thoughts about the proposal: 1.
We'll apologize to them if they'll apologize for scalping all those white
people, and 2. It's okay to apologize, just don't offer to give them back their
land unless they return the beads and trinkets."
- Lyn Nofziger's "Musings," 5/26/04
OUR KIDS ISN'T LEARNING
"Need more evidence that students entering the nation's colleges have been badly
educated at the grade-school level? The latest study by the National Center for
Education Statistics shows that remedial education -- coursework designed to
help incoming college students catch up with their grade level -- is a fixture
at more campuses than ever. The NCES found that 53% of students at public
community colleges are now taking at least one year of remedial coursework, up
from 44% in 1995. . . . It means that taxpayers are pouring more money into
schools that aren't delivering basic skills."
- John Fund, Political Diary, 5/26/04
UNION DINOSAURS
"(T)he problem with unions recently has been that they simply have not changed
the way every other institution in the country has. They continue to try to deal
with issues like globalization in the political arena rather than in the
economic arena. That's a prescription for declining influence-just what's
happened to them. Their market share has gone down from about 35 percent right
after World War II to 12 or 13 percent of the workforce today. And if you take
out government, it's down to about 8 percent. If you were managing a company
that had that kind of decline, you'd have to ask yourself if perhaps your
product isn't what the market wants."
- FedEx Chairman Fred Smith in an interview with the American Enterprise Online
DAY AFTER DISASTER STINKER
"The press was banned from the after-party for Roland Emmerich's 'The Day After
Tomorrow' last night - a bad sign, and a sure sign that the movie was no good. .
. . A publicist for Fox - who bragged about my expulsion later to paparazzi -
actually said to me, 'It sounds like you're going to blackmail us. If you don't
get into the party, you'll say the movie was bad.'
"Ah, well: No amount of edible swag could save 'The Day After Tomorrow,' a $200
million disaster film that is quite the disaster, indeed. Hilariously awful in
most places, with an incoherent script and questionable acting, 'Day After' will
come on Friday and the question will be: Can innumerable, mind-numbing special
effects, nearly all of them created on a computer and placed in what can only be
called a random order, overcome sheer inanity?"
- Roger Friedman, FoxNews.com, 5/25/04
LIES CLOAKED AS SCIENCE
"As a scientist, I bristle when lies dressed up as 'science' are used to
influence political discourse. The latest example is the global-warming disaster
flick, The Day After Tomorrow. This film is propaganda designed to shift the
policy of this nation on climate change.
"...This isn't Hollywood's first attempt to scare people into its way of
thinking. How about Jane Fonda in the 1979 anti-nuclear-power flick, The China
Syndrome? . . . Or how about the 1983 movie The Day After, whose purpose was to
strengthen the nuclear-freeze movement. It failed. The Day After Tomorrow is
only one more day than The Day After, and it deserves the same fate. Lies
cloaked as science should never determine how we live our lives."
- Patrick J. Michaels, senior fellow in environmental studies at the Cato
Institute
MORE GORE
"Poor Al Gore. First, he blows an election, failing to carry his home state.
Then he backs Howard Dean. Next, he goes to New York to promote the Kyoto global
warming treaty, and it turns out to be the coldest day in decades. And now this!
Gore has become the pitchman for a dimwitted, scientifically clueless movie
about climate change that Gregg Easterbrook, the environmentally concerned
senior editor of the New Republic, says is 'beyond laughable.'
"...Still, backers of Kyoto - and haters of President Bush - are using 'The Day
After Tomorrow' as a fund-raising tool. MoveOn.org, the leftist organization,
recruited Gore, who appeared at a press conference two weeks ago to say that
Bush is the real purveyor of fiction on climate change. . . . 'The Day After
Tomorrow' would be so-so as a summer disaster flick, but (director Roland)
Emmerich, Gore and their ilk want you to take it seriously. In fact, it merely
shows, once more, the desperation of the movement to shove the Kyoto Protocol
down the throats of Americans."
- Columnist James Glassman
IDIOT ALERT
Stupid is as stupid does. Political pimp Tony Dane got himself arrested in Las
Vegas recently for telling cops to stick it in their ear when they told him to
clear an area for security reasons at UNLV during a visit by First Lady Laura
Bush. Well, in a rambling, nonsensical email to us yesterday, Bozo the Clod
writes, "I do know more about the law on that subject than the police!" He goes
on to say, "...which is why the Police is being sued by the ACLU" (his grammar,
not mine).
Dane also boasts of getting his arrest photo published on the front page of the
local paper (Al Sharpton must be so proud) and advises that - like all good
liberals, loafers and leeches - he's now suing the university for cash. Like
I've said before, at least this moron is consistent. Can't wait to see what he
screws up next.
