This is Just Plain Stupid

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Nestled in a quiet Sacramento neighborhood is a very loud political statement that is testing the very foundation of the right to free speech. Hanging from a house in Land Park, a soldier's uniform in a noose dangles from a rooftop. The words "your tax dollars at work" are scrolled across the chest. I've seen toddlers with a better grasp of logic. These people are attacking the very institution most responsible for preserving their freedom of speech. I'm betting these pinheads are a product of the public school system. ****** LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Ron Reagan, son of the late president and conservative hero Ronald Reagan will co-host a new political talk show on MSNBC, the network said on Wednesday. Reagan will host "Connected: Coast to Coast" from MSNBC.com headquarters in Redmond, Washington, MSNBC said in a statement. The show, which will air twice daily, will base its other host -- Monica Crowley, a former Richard Nixon aide and Fox News analyst -- at MSNBC headquarters in New Jersey. Reagan drew attention last year when he gave a spirited eulogy at his father's funeral condemning politicians for using their religion for political gain and for a speech on stem-cell research at the Democratic National Convention. This guy is just contemptible. A lot of people (I included) can't even stand to look at him. MSNBC is already a disaster, are they also suicidal? ****** How predictable was this? BALAPITIYA, Sri Lanka (AP) - Weeks after the Asian tsunami destroyed their homes and livelihoods, tens of thousands of hungry Sri Lankans are still pleading for help, accusing government officials of looting international aid and demanding bribes to deliver it. ****** You didn't need to dial a psychic hotline to see this one coming. Kim Jong Mentally-Il must be bouncing off the walls. The caricature of North Korea's "Dear Leader", Kim Jong-Il, in the film, "Team America: World Police," is striking a discordant note among North Korean officials, and probably their supreme leader himself, despite his well-known love for private viewings of foreign movies. DRUDGE was a goldmine today.
