KWAN HEADS HOME WITHOUT THE GOLD.
February 13, 2006 - 10:09
The Queen of American figure skating has left Torino, without competing. Michelle Kwan, plagued by injuries, withdrew from the team, opening the door to 17-year old Emily Hughes...if she can get to Italy in time to compete. CLICK HERE.

TIME FOR SOME NEW OLYMPIC SPORTS.
February 13, 2006 - 10:10
A lot of the action in the Olympics really does not involve much "action." Curling is probably the best example. But with just a little creativity, we could inject some new vibrancy into the staid Winter Olympics. Here are just three suggested new additions:
1. Landmine Curling. Let's face it, curling is BOOORING!!. But if we replaced the current equipment with live landmines, the occasional and unexpected blasts could liven things up. And a lot of the jihadist Islamo-facists in the Middle East could get really excited about an event where stuff blows up!! I can see huge ice rinks being constructed in Saudi Arabia as they see an opportunity for their first gold medal in the Winter Olympics in Landmine Curling.
2. Triple Luge. OK, the luge is fast. Guys in tights going 90 miles an hour on a sled is pretty cool. But NASCAR it's not. So instead of sending one guy down the ice trough at a time let's send THREE, or more! The bumping, grinding, nudging and elbowing of NASCAR, with no metal separating the drivers! And when these guys get flipped out of the track we will have something any beer swilling Bubba or Bobby Joe would be proud to cheer!
3. Handgun Super G. The biathlon combines cross country skiing and shooting. The shooting is cool, but cross country skiing is too slow. The Super G downhill race is fast, but there is no shooting. So let's arm the downhill racers with two 15 clip 9mm handguns, take away the ski poles and set up targets down the course. See how many bullseyes they can get while flying down the mountain. You would get bonus time or each target hit; and loose time for any ammo left at the bottom. Spectators would probably need to wear body armor. I'll just watch on television.

AL QUEDA'S BEST FRIEND?
February 13, 2006 - 10:31
Over the weekend Algore went to Saudi Arabia, from whence came most of the 9-11 terrorists and which is a country which has been complicit in many terror attacks directed at the West in the past decade, to condemn...the U.S. Nothing like going onto foreign soil to attack your own country and give support to our enemies as a strategy to attract more support from the anti-American Left. Tennesseans should continue to be ashamed this guy ever claimed to be from this great state. Let's review. AL Queda. AL Jazeera. AL Gore. Coincidence???? CLICK HERE.

TOP DEMOCRATS NOW DEFENDING WIRETAPPING OF AL QUEDA OPERATIVES.
February 13, 2006 - 10:19
Maybe there are a FEW Democrats who think national security is important, even more important than pandering to the Moveon.org crowd. Still, we are talking one or two, not even enough Democrats to constitute a "handful". CLICK HERE. |

NEW CONVENTION CENTER COULD COST HALF A BILLION DOLLARS.
February 13, 2006 - 10:11
Some downtown businesses are pushing for a new, larger downtown convention center, even though the current version is losing money hand over fist. Even proponents of the new convention center acknowledge it won't produce more revenue than the current one, meaning more losses for taxpayers. At least with sports facilities a lot of locals will spend time USING the expensive facilities. The whole idea of a new convention center is to get people from out of town to come here, but shouldn't the people who stand to profit from that pay for it?? CLICK HERE.

CHENEY SHOOTS FELLOW HUNTER.
February 13, 2006 - 10:12
Vice President Cheney peppered a lawyer hunting quail with him in Texas, but the man is in good condition. Painful, but not life threatening. It is still safer to hunt with Cheney than get a ride home from a party with Ted Kennedy. The last VP to shoot somebody was Aaron Burr, who killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel. What is the limit on lawyers in Texas anyway? CLICK HERE.

BUSH PHOTO WITH ABRAMOFF FINALLY REVEALED.
February 13, 2006 - 10:12
For weeks the media has anxiously awaited the release of the first photo of lobbyist Jack Abramoff and President Bush. Now Time magazine has printed the first photo. Look carefully, because Abramoff is the guy circled in red in the very back of the room. Yeah, this proves the President had a cozy relationship with the guy. CLICK HERE.

The American boycott of French products following French duplicity in the run up to war in Iraq cost France about $165 million and reduced their wine sales by about 26%. Too bad. Let's keep it going. CLICK HERE.

RACIST MUSIC BANNED AT UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE.
February 13, 2006 - 10:16
The 1977 "hit", "Black Betty" has been banned by the University of New Hampshire because the song has been deemed "theroretically racist." Have the administrators at UNH heard any recent hip hop songs? If they are concerned about music that is racist or demeaning to black women, there are a lot of examples from recent albums from Kanye West, Ludacris and others that might rank higher than "Black Betty" on the "offensive" list.
