Flight Pundit

DC has decided to be more open and forthcoming…today we witnessed his first press conference:

Candy Crowley, CNN: I suppose you were heartened by the brutal execution of Saddam Hussein. Care to give us your thoughts on that?

DC: Be happy to. It’s hard to have sympathy for Saddam, certainly, and he did deserve to die for his crimes. But the conduct of his execution, and the apparent chanting of “Moqtada” by his executioners does give one pause. For me, though, I was struck by the fact that his execution actually indicates progress for Iraq and the Muslim world. He got a trial and an appeal, and his head wasn’t cut off. Maybe next, the sectarian taunts will disappear. Who knows? Events like the execution of Saddam are a stark reminder that Western civilization is worth defending.

Also, I find it interesting how CNN and the rest of the MSM are disturbed that the execution was filmed, but they are not likewise concerned with showing video of enemy snipers shooting at our troops.

Finally, I understand that the video of the execution does not offend the sensibilities of the Iraqis or Muslims at large (even though holding the execution on a Sunni holiday did). It’s a good thing he wasn’t hung in his underwear. Then there would be hell to pay.

Candy Crowley: (Gasp)

LOL!! Go read it all…and keep your Jack closed.

What in fuck is this shit???

An agreement the Bush administration reached with Mexico on Social Security benefits would allow illegal aliens granted amnesty in the future to claim credit for the time they worked illegally.

An agreement? With Mexico?? ’splain this to me someone…

The deal was reached in 2004 but never released publicly because it hasn’t been submitted to Congress. The TREA Senior Citizens League, a Social Security advocacy group, recently obtained the document through a Freedom of Information Act, and said it confirms the group’s worst fears.

Uh huh…

“To get Social Security benefits, you do have to be legally in the United States. This agreement does not address in any way immigration, immigration laws or override current law,” he said, adding that a 2004 law, the Social Security Protection Act, prevents illegal aliens from getting benefits.

But the seniors group said the 2004 law also states that if those aliens later get legal status — through an amnesty or some sort of legalization plan such as the one President Bush and the Senate tried to enact last year — they would be able to collect the benefits based on their time as illegal workers.

In other words, the wetbacks who are here now, stealing jobs Americans were doing, jobs Americans WILL do, are getting paid under the table and not paying into our SS system…BUT they will receive SS benefits when they retire- at which time we will have granted them all amnesty.

O.M.G. This is insane. Totally. Is this why we work now? To pay for the future and retirement of those who are criminals, those whose very presence here is illegal?? Give me a fucking break. The US is going to hell faster than a kettle of Mexican shit.

So is this where Michael has been lately??

LAMAR, Colo. — Ranchers, pilots and snowmobilers on Wednesday searched for thousands of cattle trapped by heavy snow and high drifts in southeastern Colorado, while hundreds of cows were reported dead in Kansas.

Eight National Guard helicopters and a C-130 cargo plane were dispatched in the campaign to save the livestock herds snowed in by back-to-back holiday blizzards. Volunteer snowmobile search-and-rescue groups from elsewhere in the state joined the effort on the ground.

Sounds like a MESS out there. A fun mess, with the snowmobiles though.
