nothing sadder or more embarassing than watching old, out of touch folks attempt to portray what they think is “the now, the hip, the happening;) “.

you just cringe watching it.

You know what makes me cringe? Watching a bunch of snot nosed brats who think they know more than anyone else about the world as they sit in their self-appointed thrones judging everyone they consider Nazis or racists. How easily you apply labels and how wrong you are in doing so. You people have a lot to learn.

hahahaha – the poor reporters! couldn’t cope with bloggers and nasty emails!? and folks wonder why they can’t uncover the truth about Iraq and W and Dick?

The truth about Iraq? More Americans have been killed by illegal aliens than soldiers in Iraq

WASHINGTON – While the military “quagmire” in Iraq was said to tip the scales of power in the U.S. midterm elections, most Americans have no idea more of their fellow citizens – men, women and children – were murdered this year by illegal aliens than the combined death toll of U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan since those military campaigns began.

Though no federal statistics are kept on murders or any other crimes committed by illegal aliens, a number of groups have produced estimates based on data collected from prisons, news reports and independent research.

Twelve Americans are murdered every day by illegal aliens, according to statistics released by Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa. If those numbers are correct, it translates to 4,380 Americans murdered annually by illegal aliens. That’s 21,900 since Sept. 11, 2001.

Total U.S. troop deaths in Iraq as of last week were reported at 2,863. Total U.S. troop deaths in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Uzbekistan during the five years of the Afghan campaign are currently at 289, according to the Department of Defense.

But the carnage wrought by illegal alien murderers represents only a fraction of the pool of blood spilled by American citizens as a result of an open border and un-enforced immigration laws.

While King reports 12 Americans are murdered daily by illegal aliens, he says 13 are killed by drunk illegal alien drivers – for another annual death toll of 4,745. That’s 23,725 since Sept. 11, 2001.

While no one – in or out of government – tracks all U.S. accidents caused by illegal aliens, the statistical and anecdotal evidence suggests many of last year’s 42,636 road deaths involved illegal aliens.

A report by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Study found 20 percent of fatal accidents involve at least one driver who lacks a valid license. In California, another study showed that those who have never held a valid license are about five times more likely to be involved in a fatal road accident than licensed drivers.

Statistically, that makes them an even greater danger on the road than drivers whose licenses have been suspended or revoked – and nearly as dangerous as drunk drivers.

King also reports eight American children are victims of sexual abuse by illegal aliens every day – a total of 2,920 annually.

Based on a one-year in-depth study, Deborah Schurman-Kauflin of the Violent Crimes Institute of Atlanta estimates there are about 240,000 illegal immigrant sex offenders in the United States who have had an average of four victims each. She analyzed 1,500 cases from January 1999 through April 2006 that included serial rapes, serial murders, sexual homicides and child molestation committed by illegal immigrants.

As the number of illegal aliens in the U.S. increases, so does the number of American victims.

According to Edwin Rubenstien, president of ESR Research Economic Consultants, in Indianapolis in 1980, federal and state correctional facilities held fewer than 9,000 criminal aliens. But at the end of 2003, approximately 267,000 illegal aliens were incarcerated in all U.S. jails and prisons.

While the federal government doesn’t track illegal alien murders, illegal alien rapes or illegal alien drunk driving deaths, it has studied illegal aliens incarcerated in U.S. prisons.

In April 2005, the Government Accountability Office released a report on a study of 55,322 illegal aliens incarcerated in federal, state, and local facilities during 2003. It found the following:

* The 55,322 illegal aliens studied represented a total of 459,614 arrests – some eight arrests per illegal alien;

* Their arrests represented a total of about 700,000 criminal offenses – some 13 offenses per illegal alien;

* 36 percent had been arrested at least five times before.

“While the vast majority of illegal aliens are decent people who work hard and are only trying to make a better life for themselves and their families, (something you or I would probably do if we were in their place), it is also a fact that a disproportionat ely high percentage of illegal aliens are criminals and sexual predators,” states Peter Wagner, author of a new report called “The Dark Side of Illegal Immigration.” “That is part of the dark side of illegal immigration and when we allow the ‘good’ in we get the ‘bad’ along with them. The question is, how much ‘bad’ is acceptable and at what price?”

you just cringe watching it.

Oh, raven, my sympathies. However, it’s reassuring, in a creepy sort of way, to realize that there are places that are even wingnuttier than Georgia.

In the NYT Bob Herbert has some news about the girls he “bought” out of a brothel in Cambodia, as well as some good news about some other kids. Frank Rich takes on Time magazine, and explains why “You, yes you” are on the cover. And for a bonus I’ve tossed in a piece by Verlyn Klinkenborg. Now there’s a name to be conjured with…

For reasons that I cannot understand when I go to look at this on Firefox I get Thursday’s, but when I look through AOL, which I assume uses IE, I get today’s. I’m baffled…

I laughed till tears rolled down my cheeks as the parade of morph-elfs rolled on….here’s the thing…I wake up and flip through the channels for some news and CNN has their anchors elfed, happy feeting the same as everyone here. I might not be right until Tuesday.

Mornin’. Can’t sleep, can’t open presents, what’s a girl to do?

May I suggest you go elf yourself?

Send HELP! I’m stuck in “Goode” country 18 miles south of Lynchburg on a friggin dial-up! Last night I got to listen to a perfectly intelligent group of Virginia residents sit around and talk about how upstanding this idiot Goode is. “He says what he thinks”. Too bad that out of respect for the father of my bride I refuse to get started, there is no possible positive outcome. I never thought I would be in a situation where I couldn’t wait to get back to Georgia because of the wingnuts UP in Virginia.

I guess it could be worse. You could be stuck in Sugar Land, listening to people moaning about that godly man, Tom DeLay, being hounded out of office by the Democrats….

About all you can say about Goode and his remarks about Keith Ellison, without starting a big argument, is to say, “read Article 6 of the Constitution….”

Cheers.
