Muslims Put Kibosh on Freddie Mercury Birthday Celebration
Organizers of a 60th gala birthday party for [Freddie Mercury] have cancelled the weekend event after outraged Muslims threatened to disrupt it.
Faced with fierce opposition from Islamists, who complained the flamboyant Queen lead singer's lifestyle was offensive to many on the overwhelmingly Muslim archipelago, organizers said they had no choice but to call it off.
And:
Conservative Zanzibari Islamists last week demanded that authorities ban the party and then vowed to stage mass demonstrations if it went ahead, saying it would tarnish the islands' reputation and culture and promote homosexuality.
The authorities, who have long tip-toed between secular constitutional ideals, the demands of a booming tourist industry and the wishes of conservative Muslims, never formally responded to Islamists.
Few on Zanzibar are aware of Queen or Freddie Mercury, who was born Farrokh Bulsara on the main island of Unguja to Persian parents employed by the British colonial administration on September 5, 1946.
But the appearance of posters advertising the beach party to celebrate what would have been his 60th birthday in recent weeks prompted the Islamist complaints.
Freddie: 1946 - 1991
The following from Wikipedia:
- His recorded vocal range spanned nearly four octaves (falsetto included), with his lowest recorded note being the F1 (F2 in U.S.) and his highest recorded note being the D5 (D6 in U.S.)
- Mercury is widely considered to have been one of the greatest live performers in rock history. For instance, his performance with Queen at Live Aid in 1985 was voted by music journalists in 2005 as the greatest live rock performance of all time.
- Compared to many popular songwriters, Freddie Mercury tended to write musically complex material. As an example, "Bicycle Race" is set in seven different key signatures and contains continuous meter changes (i.e. the bridge is in 3/4, while verses and choruses are in 4/4).
- Although he possessed only rudimentary skills on the guitar, Mercury wrote many lines and riffs (e.g. those for "Ogre Battle," and "Bohemian Rhapsody") for the instrument. He also wrote "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" on the guitar.
Now some folks may not necessarily approve who Mr. Mercury may have bunked with during his lifetime and it's their right, I guess, to "judge" him on that. But is that any reason - any real reason - to not celebrate the guy's birthday in the country where he was born? And especially since his influence on modern music cannot be denied?
The man had talent and one of the finest voices in music. Ever.
Happy Birthday Freddie. Your voice and talent is missed by me and many others across the world.

A Salute To Mike Malloy
Oh, the poor babies. I upset all the little Truth Deniers when I commented that the firing of Malloy was, "the best news I've heard this century." And as usual the Moonbats did not disappoint me in their mean-spirited replies. I can take it. But they can't.
Show after show, program after program, The Rotting Corpse spewed half-truths, lies, absurdly insane conspiracy theories, anti-Semitism, hatred and contempt for anyone who didn't believe exactly what he believed.
His (former) audience/listeners, exhibiting the same lack of tolerance for any opinion other than their own, have marched into the depths of their usual tantrum throwing antics.
Here's some of Malloy's most recent, compassionate notable quotes from his program of Wednesday, August 16, 2006:
"All Republicans are racist. All Republicans are liars. All Republicans will do or say anything to retain their office."
"Republicans are a subgenus of human beings. Or is it subspecies?"
"Every single Republican in the South is a racist."
"Republican are sneaks, cheats, liars and racists. Every single one of them."
***Sham Cedar ****** The Corpse
On last night's Majorassity Report, Sam Seder has this to say about Malloy, and about his own (Seder's) program.

"[Mike Malloy] filling in for Randi [Rhodes] today, he was scheduled to he was scheduled to fill in for Randi tomorrow. And, umm, ahhh, frankly I'm pissed off about it. And I have made it clear to - uh - anybody here that would listen to me that I'm pissed off about it. I think it's a huge mistake. I don't know if it's definitive because Air America Radio to my knowledge has not made an official announcement. Umm, my hope is not is that it's not. My understanding is that a lot of people have been calling here and e-mailing here. And I've noticed that people have phone numbers and e-mails posted in the comments section of our blog at Majority Report Radio dot com.
As I was trolling the web I noticed it at Democratic Underground and I noticed stuff at, uh, Mike Malloy dot com. Ummmm, I have other avenues in which to express my frustration at this thing but I imagine people who don't would probably go to those avenues. Ahhh, I think it's stupid, ahhhh, a bunch of - uhhhh - horse crap. I don't know what else to say. I mean I don't care who they put in there Malloy is great. He won Talker of New York - uhhhh - just months before they put the crappy Satellite Sisters on. Oh, they're following me. And uhhhh, Peter Werbe is filling in for Mike tonight. I-I really don't know what's going to happen, folks.
But I would check out Mike Malloy dot com for more information. And ummm, I don't know what to tell you. I'm pissed off."

MIKE MALLOY FIRED BY AIR AMERICA RADIO
There will be no Mike Malloy program today - or any day - on Air America Radio as we have been terminated. We are told its a financial decision.
We are as shocked as you are, especially since as recently as last Tuesday we were told we had the go-ahead to announce our return to NY airwaves and that our contract was "on the way."
We are told its a financial decision.

Kung Pow Cat
[The cats'] antics in a small leafy street in Swindon, Wiltshire, have been described as a 'four-month reign of terror' by neighbours, who finally caught the cat and put it in a cage this week.
'It was the nastiest cat ever, it would just attack you and come at you with its claws and teeth,' said one 21-year-old resident.
'If you came home or woke up to see it, he would go crazy, bouncing off furniture at you before running out of the door.
I would have found Other Uses for it --- and damn fast, too!

Polls Show Majority Of Americans Support Ethnic/Terrorist Profiling And Consider September 11 Attack More Significant Than The Attack on Pearl Harbor
Well, the same pollster - Quinnipiac - shows that 60 percent to 37 percent margin, respondents said authorities should single out people who look "Middle Eastern" for security screening at locations such as airports and train stations -- a finding that drew sharp criticism by civil liberties groups.
60 percent to 37 percent! Why, that's a Michael "Fat Bastard" Moore sized gap between those who FAVOR "Middle Eastern" profiling and those who are against it!
And the poor peeing-in-their-pants civil liberties groups are all bent out of shape about these results. Well, that should tell you volumes about the differences between people who honestly want to combat terrorism and consider it a very real threat and those who prefer to pacify terrorists at any cost, especially the cost of maybe "insulting" them (G A S P)!
Quinnipiac also found that 56 percent of voters [polled] picked Sept. 11 as more significant, while 33 percent picked Pearl Harbor. Voters older than 65 picked Sept. 11 as more significant 42 percent of the time, compared to 39 percent for Pearl Harbor.
Since Liberals loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove polls, because polls "tell them" how to pander to their constituents, and since Liberals loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove the Quinnipiac poll, I'm sure they'll adopt a brand new outlook on profiling, won't they?
Gee, do you think Liberal Politicians will glom onto these results in the hopes that by doing so they will be elected or re-elected? C'mon Libs --- you're the group that took poll results as gospel during the Clinton Administration. Will you put these two Quinnipiac polls where your mouth is? My bookie cautions not to bet on it.

Anti-War "Pope" Murtha Disappointed With MrsSatan Hillary Clinton
"I have been disappointed. I've been disappointed she hasn't spoken out more forcefully. She's a leader in the Democratic Party -- she's probably going to be the nominee for president next year," said Murtha.
... "this is one area where she has to step up at some point and I don't know whether it's related to New York politics or what it is, but I would hope that in the next few months she would make her position clear," said Murtha.
In response to Murtha's criticisms, a Clinton spokesman said: "Senator Clinton has been a clear and consistent critic of the way the Administration has handled the war and believes the Iraqis must step up so we can begin to bring our troops home."
A Democrat being disappointed by...ANOTHER DEMOCRAT ? "Oh, Dat's So Sad!"
Poor Dems...hang on a second, I need to get a kleenex to dab my sad tears for The Old Coot and MrsSatan...
...there, that's better.
Maybe Murtha should contact the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition that I wrote about yesterday because they can't get any answers from
It's funny that no one, no group, no organization can get any straight answer from MrsSatan on virtually any topic or issue. Now, if she were she a Republican, the press would be reporting on her inability to step out of the cesspool of ambiguity she has submerged herself into. But no, much like her husband, The Unregistered Sexual Offender, the press will let her slide on all issues. Why - ? Well, no doubt because she is the "smartest woman in the world."
So for you moderates and Independents out there, especially those of you in the fine state of New York, is she going to get your vote for another term in the Senate? And will you support her presidential run in 2008?

HNN: Hillary News Network™© (or: What's MrsSatan Up To Now?)
Raw Story reports that "government dissenters has called out Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton for what they see as a lack of principle and unwillingness to stand up for whistleblowers."
And:
... the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition (NSWBC) criticized Senator Clinton for her failure to take a stand on the deaths of two veterans and injuries of others in illegal drug experiments at the Stratton Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Albany, NY. A number of efforts have been made by NSWBC and other concerned parties to get Sen. Clinton to address the matter, but to no avail.
Edmonds and Weaver called Clinton's inaction in the Stratton case "part of a pattern of studious avoidance of principled action in the face of serious government misconduct, and the refusal to come to the aid of those people who expose that misconduct."
She does indeed have a "pattern of studious avoidance" of any thing, issue and person that would show the public who she really is. And you Regressives out there think she is your salvation for winning back the White House two years from now! This is a woman who would sell her grandmother for a nickel or pimp her daughter out if it meant gaining political power in return.
MrsSatan: Hippy Chick and Shrieking Shrew - She Wants To Rule You!
A story in Freemarket News on the same topic notes, "Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton as "an elected senator who has served six years in her seat, never taking a strong stand in support of her constituents on any serious or controversial issue; ... an elected official who has no record of conducting investigations into cases that are matters of great concern to her constituents and to our nation..."
Hmmmm...MrsSatan "never taking a strong stand in support of her constituents on any serious or controversial issue...", and you know what...someone once said that, "NEVER is a long, long time."
A search of this story on Media (Doesn't)Matter turned up...(GASP!)...nothing! See, David Brock and Company go on defense when it is critical of their very own special group of Elitists. And their actions as Hillary Defenders allows them to perpetuate the myth that MrsSatan is a godsend to all that ails the Liberal Body Politburo. But the rest of us are so much smarter than they are. I'm sure my good friend Karl Rove has a great plan in mind to keep MrsSatan from the White House in '08!

Time To Cut And Run From New Orleans!
New Orleans, in its pure and natural state, is meant to be one giant wetland free from human occupation. If nature teaches us anything, with the Left pretending to know what nature wants and telling us so, it is that mankind cannot stop - and at best can only hope to mitigate - the destructive forces of hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, blizzards, heat waves and other natural disasters.
The money allocated for New Orleans from federal and state sources, as well as the private contributions from people and corporations, surely has exceeded all reasonable expectations of what it should take to rebuild New Orleans. Yet to date, if I may paraphrase its Mayor Ray Nagin, New Orleans will always be a hole under water.
If The Left has taught us anything in reaching a point of no return, as they have been advocating a cut and run strategy in Iraq, it is that perhaps we have reached a point with New Orleans whereby cut and run is the only option. The continued and future human "occupation" of New Orleans is unwise, irresponsible, dangerous and potentially fatal. And if by allowing New Orleans to return to its natural state we "save just one life", especially the life "of a child", then it's certainly worth it, isn't it?
None of this is meant to be critical of the City of New Orleans or the people who live there. But most reasonable people recognize when they've reach a point of no return when continuing to fight a losing battle. Humans cannot control some of the things that nature throws at us. How many hurricanes does New Orleans need to experience before society realizes this area of Louisiana it is not meant for human inhabitation?
Clearly it is time to cut and run from New Orleans. It is time to admit this area of our geography - being below sea level - is one where Man will never tame or control the forces of nature. New Orleans should be allowed to return to its pristine and natural state. Future attempts to occupy this area will continue to bring hardships and deaths. It's time to acknowledge the losses, both historic and financial, and cut and run from New Orleans.

I Miss Al O'FrankenFailure...
She said today that she thought the Emmy Awards plane crash opening skit "was funny". Harvey stated the age-old comedy maxim about "Tragedy plus time equals comedy," and I couldn't agree with her more!
As a matter of fact, I can't wait for the HBO-Spike Lee Hurricane Katrina sitcom. I'm waiting for the Zapruder film to be re-released with a laugh track. When does the feature film comedy about Paul Wellstone's plane crash hit the theaters? And when is the Saturday morning cartoon about Jews being killed by Nazi's going to run, huh?
Because tragedy plus time ALWAYS equals comedy, doesn't it? The Left tells us that, so it must be true.
And Tom Oliphant co-hosted with Harvey (at least on today's show). Oliphant has all the radio charisma of last week's old, damp fart trapped between the material layers of a sleeping bag.
Oliphant said the Emmy Awards were on "Rupert Murdoch's network." Really, Rupert now owns NBC? I'll bet Rupert will be surprised to hear that!
Christy Harvey ****** Tom Oliphant
And by the way...you know how Liberals make fun of Ann Coulter, saying she has an Adam's Apple and is really a man? TAKE A GOOD LOOK at that picture of Christy Harvey. Then look at Oliphant. I think they're one in the same. I think Oliphant has one of those DRESSED TO KILL 'Michael Caine/Nurse in Drag' thangs going on. (Christy...were you born of the male gender? Can we please see your birth certificate?)
Harvey and Oliphant...why, they (he?) actually make me miss Al!
"Really, Dave, do you miss me?"
No Al, I don't...I was lying. I figured a Liberal like you would understand that.

AirHead America Minnesota: Can You Hear Them Now?
The Twin Cities Weekly Newspaper, City Pages, Released Minnesota's AM 950's AirHead America Demographics.
Here's what the article says:
Arbitron Ratings of AirHead America's Minnesota station, AM 950, reflect that over the past two years 950 AM has consistently drawn around a one share, or just over 50,000 individuals listeners per week.
That's 416.66666 listeners per hour : 50,000 / 120 hrs (24 hrs x 5 days) and 297.619 listeners per hour if you include the two weekend days of which AHA does indeed have special programs devoted only to Saturday and Sunday. (168hrs = 7days x 24 hours/day).
The Listeners are White, Middle-Aged and overwhelmingly Male.
A survey conducted earlier this year by Media Audit shows that:
- 91% of the station's audience is Caucasian,
- 83% is male,
- 70% of listeners are at least 45 years old,
- and 60% have incomes greater than $75,000/year.
AM 950's Station and General Manager Janet Robert's long term boyfriend is former state representative Bill Luther whose nephew, Mark Heaney, is the co-host of one of the station's afternoon programs. Nepotism is always a good way to run a business, yes?
I thought AirHead America is supposed to be the representative mouthpiece for the downtrodden and the economically disadvantaged. I thought AHA is supposed to be the voice of the people who have been ignored and denigrated by those evil Conservatives and by the Bush Administration. Why, I thought AHA is supposed to be the voice of a new generation of political activists.
And now we find out AHA is nothing more than representative of Middle Aged, "Rich" White Men. Why...who-da-thunk that?

1985 Retro Video: Mister Cheese and Mr. Suave
Note Mr. Jagger's wild and over-the-top gesticulating and facial "mugging" for the camera. Jagger, oblivious to both style and subtlety, acts more like an attention-deprived child begging for his parents to notice him.
In contrast, note David Bowie, underplaying his part (well, he doesn't have a choice opposite Jagger, does he?), using his well honed years of performing to counter Jagger's extreme performance style (style?).
While Jagger hops around like a tweaked Meth Head without any sense of rhythm or style, Bowie's got the grooves and moves down and brings style to what he does.
Sorry Grandpa Mick...you've become (and have been for many years...since '85) the William Shatner of Rock N' Roll, chewing the scenery and hoarding all the Cheese for yourself.

Tobacco: The Number One Most Vile, Harmful Substance EVER To Exist!
U.S. District Judge Gladys Kessler ordered the companies to make corrective statements after deceiving the public for years about the health hazards and addictiveness of smoking and to disclose marketing practices to the government.
G A S P! Deception? Deception was used by a corporation? Why...those companies should be napalmed out of existence. How dare they use deception! Surely no other company has ever used any deceptive techniques in advertising, have they? No, never. Not the hospitality industry. No, the hotel rooms look just like the picture in the brochure.
Deception? No, never - never been used.
You do know if you drink "that brand" of beer you'll be popular, wickedly cool and "in" with the opposite sex. Or maybe the same sex, if that's your thing. But either way you will be awesomely dope because that's what the advertisement says. Cirrhosis of the liver? Oh, that's many, many years down the road, you won't have to worry about that for a long time.
Did you know The cosmetic industry uses carcinogenic substances? Would you say that the cosmetic industry has been...deceptive?
Please keep your carcinogenic cosmetics away from me, I would hate to get "second hand cosmetic cancer". What if I kiss a girl and her lipstick gives me cancer? Can I sue the maker of the lipstick?
We need New Rules and Regulations for those vile tobacco makers, don't we? More laws and new laws are always a good thing, right?
Just outlaw tobacco. That's the only answer. I'm a smoker and I say outlaw it.
And then all levels of government - federal, state and local - can raise other taxes and let everyone pay for what smokers used to pay for. It's only fair.

DISH Network: LIARS, FAKERS, LAWBREAKERS, PHONIES and FRAUDS! Day Two Of My Jihand Against DISH
Hmmm...for a COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY, Dish Network sure seems to have their share of telephone problems, don't they?
Well, Dish called me again today, this time from 702-818-1669. The call immediately began with a pre-recorded message which violates Minnesota State Law. According to the Minnesota Attorney General's Office, a LIVE PERSON must first speak to you and get your consent to play a recorded message. To date, DISH is violating this every time they call me.
Now, guess what happens when you dial 702-818-1669? You'll get a "busy" signal. Every time. Every.Single.Time.
Their 800 # of 866-856-5512 is still experiencing "technical difficulties" today. All day. All hours. Go ahead, call it. It's toll free. Dial it right now. Dial it in two hours. Dial it at midnight. Dial it at 3AM should you wake up to get yourself a snack. Because every time you dial it you'll hear (Click on the > ):
"Thank you for calling. We are currently experiencing technical difficulties. Please try your call later."
So we're into Day Two - that I know of, anyway - that a COMMUNICATIONS Company is experiencing "technical difficulties" with their telephone COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM? Who would want to do business with a COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY that can't resolve IT'S OWN COMMUNICATIONS PROBLEMS?
Look, we all know your 800# greeting is nothing but a scam and a lie. It's a cover so you can avoid taking calls from people who are tired of your low-life telemarketing scheme and who wouldn't do business with you under any circumstances.
Dish is notch below the moral equivalency of child molesters and necrophiliacs. Dish is a notch below those people we hear about every so often who are found guilty of sexually abusing defenseless senior citizens in retirement homes. Dish is a notch below the sick individuals who sexually abuse comatose patients.
Now why would anyone want to do business or buy the products or services of a company - and let me repeat, a COMMUNICATIONS Company - that can't resolve it's own telephone "technical difficulties"? You're such LIARS!
By all means Dish, keep calling me. Keep hanging up on me. Every telephone number, phony or otherwise, and the times that you call me is being tracked and records kept. All the more info for the AG's Office, all the more ammo for me to use in my FTC complaint, all the more significant the fine and penalty that you will pay.
I'm checking my mail box anxiously awaiting the complaint form from the Minnesota State Attorney General's Office.

Get On Your Bikes and Ride: Classic Video Redux - Queen's "Fat Bottomed Girls"
Fat Bottomed Girls was a hit single for the British rock band Queen. It was released in 1978 on the album Jazz. The song was written by Queen guitarist Brian May and was one of the few Queen songs played in an alternative guitar tuning commonly called "drop D". The lyrics are expressing the point of view that beautiful women aren't always as nice as they may look.
The studio version contains Brian May's most (in)famous recording mistake, when he hit a G/F dissonance during the break (before the third verse). This is the result of playing a regular G voicing with the dropped 6th string (D) of the alternate tuning.

Jimmy "The Peanut Farmer" Carter Disses U.S....Again
Full Interview Here.
Some excerpts:
Question: You also mentioned the hatred for the United States throughout the Arab world which has ensued as a result of the invasion of Iraq. Given this circumstance, does it come as any surprise that Washington's call for democracy in the Middle East has been discredited?
Carter: No, as a matter of fact, the concerns I exposed have gotten even worse now with the United States supporting and encouraging Israel in its unjustified attack on Lebanon.
Question: But wasn't Israel the first to get attacked?
Carter: I don't think that Israel has any legal or moral justification for their massive bombing of the entire nation of Lebanon. What happened is that Israel is holding almost 10,000 prisoners, so when the militants in Lebanon or in Gaza take one or two soldiers, Israel looks upon this as a justification for an attack on the civilian population of Lebanon and Gaza. I do not think that's justified, no.
Question: As president, your performance was often criticized. But the work you did after leaving office to promote human rights has been widely praised. Has life been unfair to you?
Carter: I've been lucky in my life. Everything that I've done has brought great pleasure and gratification to me and my wife. I had four years in the White House -- it was not a failure. For someone to serve as president of the United States you can't say it is a political failure.
I guess Mr. Peanut somehow forgot his own words:
During the Presidential campaign of 1976, Democratic candidate, Jimmy Carter, made frequent references to the Misery Index, which by the summer of 1976 was at 13.57%.
Carter stated that no man responsible for giving a country a misery index that high, had a right to even ask to be President.
Carter won the 1976 election. However, by 1980, when President Carter was running for re-election against Ronald Reagan, the Misery Index had reached an all-time high of 21.98%. Carter lost the election to Reagan. During the Reagan era, the index averaged 12.19 with a 7.70 low.

I ask this because he doesn't seem to have any working vertebrae in his neck. His head hangs down, chin on chest, as if his neck cannot support the weight of his head!
Actually, near the end of the commercial, his slinking head position indicates he's trying to catch a sneak peek at the boobies of the lady seated next to him on the piano bench.
So, Hey - Geico...Burt, what's your problem? Geico..someone in your organization approved the final edit of that commercial? Was the director of that commercial on qualudes when it was being shot? How could anyone allow Bacharach's wobbly and snake-necked performance to make it through as a final cut?
Is this a cost saving tactic for Geico? After all, Geico Gets OLD CELEBS To Tell Real Customers' Tales.
Burt...Why can't you support the weight of that gigantic liberal head of yours?

Hey, Old Man...When's That Vein In Your Head Going To Explode?
Castrati Boy Mike Malloy, The Rapidly Aging Corpse
Quotes From The Rotting Corpse Show, from Wednesday, August 16, 2006:
"All Republicans are racist. All Republicans are liars. All Republicans will do or say anything to retain their office."
"Republicans are a subgenus of human beings. Or is it subspecies?"
"Every single Republican in the South is a racist."
"Republican are sneaks, cheats, liars and racists. Every single one of them."
What an open-minded kind of
I'm just tracking the words that exit the anus that he calls his mouth, so when that vein does explode, I can justify and celebrate his non-existence on the earth.
When is that vein going to explode? Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Tick Tock..........

Why Ed Schultz Continues To Be A Complete Dumbass
11 Points is now a statistical dead heat for the Libs?
If Lamont was out-polling Lieberman by 11 points, you know what LiberTards like Fat Eddy would be saying, don't you? They'd be telling Joe to pull out of the race, it's over.
It's always, always a different set of rules when it comes to the Libs.

DISH Network: LIARS, FAKERS, LAWBREAKERS, PHONIES and FRAUDS!
I am tired of your repeated telemarketing telephone calls to my residence. I am also very tired of the pre-recorded Shtick of your automated telephone calls, with a pre-recorded voice saying, "Hi, I'm Jerry, I'll get right to the point about our great offer for new Dish Customers...."
What happened to "Peter" who used to call me. Did you fire the "fake Peter" and hire the "fake Jerry"?
You see, Dish Network, it is illegal for telemarketers to call anyone in Minnesota with pre-recorded messages without FIRST having a LIVE PERSON on the line requesting permission from the person you are harassing to play your pre-recorded message.
So, Dish Network, I spent my lunch hour today on the telephone, talking to my telephone company and talking with the Minnesota Attorney General's Office. I reported your constant harassment, your "silent calls" and - when I "press 1" and a rep comes on the phone and I request that my number be added to your Do Not Call List - your rep hangs up on me!
The MN AG Office was very interested in your telemarketing tactics. They were especially interested in your hanging up on me when I request that you cease and desist from calling my telephone number.
You see, Dish...we have an Attorney General here in MN who really dislikes businesses who don't obey our state laws. Our Attorney General loves to levy fines and penalties on companies who break the law. And you, Dish Network, are a LAWBREAKER!
As a matter of fact, Dish, your incoming telephone number that shows up on my caller ID is BOGUS, according to the information provided to me by the telephone company.
Why, you're not even taking incoming calls at 866-856-5512. What happens when you dial this number? Go ahead, give a listen.
This is what you get when calling DISH Network at 866-856-5512:
LIARS! You're not experiencing technical difficulties and you know it. You're simply avoiding incoming calls from people who don't want your product and are sick and tired of your telemarketing tactics. LAW BREAKERS! FRAUDS! FAKERS! SCUM OF THE EARTH!
I have filed a complaint on-line with the FTC on the telemarketing tactics of Dish Network. I will be doing the same with the MN AG's office.
DISH Satellite...using ILLEGAL TELEMARKETING TACTICS in Minnesota and their reps hanging up on you when you attempt to request to be removed from their call list.
DISH Satellite: LIARS, FAKERS, LAWBREAKERS, PHONIES and FRAUDS!

al-Qaida Candidate Ned Lamont
Whew,
Eric Alterwoman, scribbling over at The HuffinPuff Post is upset about the al-Qaida remark:
There are two points here, lest they get lost in focusing on the egregious stupidity of Mr. [Chuck] Roberts. The first is that journalists can, and do, say anything they want about someone and refuse to take responsibility for it...
Ned Lamont, THE anti-War, al-Qaida Candidate, elected in the Connecticut primary by the Far, Far, Far Looney Left Wingers...of course he's THE al-Qaida Candidate. That's why you members of the Insane Liberal Clown Posse dumped Joe Lieberman. Or have you forgotten that already?
al-Qaida Supports Ned Lamont for Senate;
Endorsed by The Terrorist's Union and Mothers Of Hezbollah.

Three New Planets! Three! That's "3"!
Pictured below is how the planets are imagined to look.
The planets have not yet been bestowed with their official names and are currently referred to as Rotundicus 1, Rotundicus 2 and Rotundicus 3.
And what's up with this excerpt from the above-linked article:
Pluto would remain a planet, and its moon Charon would be reclassified as a planet.

Mysterious Duo Claims Credit For Thwarting Recent Attacks
Referring to themselves as Ketchup Man and Ketchup Boy, the two men claimed it was their efforts that tipped off authorities in the UK, Pakistan and the U.S. to the budding terrorist plot.
"I had a plan," said Ketchup Man to a room full of anxious reporters and press. "I can't tell you the details of my plan, it's a Super-Duper Top Secret Plan. And I'm proud to say that my plan worked. My plan was to catch these bad guys and we did just that."
"You tell 'em, Ketchup Man," said Ketchup Boy.
Ketchup Man and Ketchup Boy; Are They Actually John Kerry and John Edwards?
"Easy there, Ketchup Boy. We don't want to gloat."
"Sorry, Ketchup Man."
Reporters shouted, "Who are you?"
"It's best for everyone if our identities remain unknown," said Ketchup Man.
One reporter shouted, "You sound just like John Kerry and John Edwards."
"We, ah...we, ah.... WHO? No, we're not those people," replied Ketchup Man, in an obvious and ineffective attempt to deny the accusation.
"We're not familiar with those names," added Ketchup Boy.
"Ketchup Boy is right! We must go now," said Ketchup Man as he and Ketchup Boy left the room and building. The phrase, "To The Ketchup Cave," was heard as they left for places unknown.
"Who were those masked men," is what reporters muttered to themselves. A brave reporter ventured an answer, "Isn't it obvious it's John Kerry and John Edwards?"
"Oooooooooooh.......," was the collective reply.
