Even though I stem from the Lone Star state, I've never been one of the converts to the single biggest music medium from El Paso to Dallas, or Abilene to Houston.
For the pure pleasure of irritating Rosie O'Donnell though I am willing to tolerate the country twang of Diamond Rio and their "statement song" called In God We Still Trust!
Not only will I endure the nasal vocals, planky guitars, and all too predictable drum fills - I will make sure that this is heard around the globe this afternoon. The words to this song - are just TOO rich!
And someone came along and put some nice visuals on this one as well - enjoy - and pass it on!
Mary Katharine was right last week when she told me that YouTube is treasure trove...

So for all of the adults on the planet... let's see if we can get the basics straightened out:
1. The Pope quotes from an ancient debate on the use of violence to advance a faith... the quote itself seems to imply that the prophet Mohammed did use violence to advance his brand of faith - which everyone on the planet knows is true...
2. The words that the Pope utters are that of a Byzantine emperor - NOT his own, and he makes clear that he was quoting...
3. The use of the quote was in the context of a speech/lecture given so as to discourage radical religionists (of any sort) from using force/violence to advance their faith...
4. Muslims around the globe begin to cry out in mysteriously organized unison (given that few of them speak German) "not true, not true Islam doesn't use violence to advance its cause... and the Pope should apologize."
5. The Pope makes clear that he was quoting an historical quote, and that the quote does not reflect his own view that all Muslims are presently using violence... he apologizes if anyone misunderstood the context of his lecture which again WAS to discourage people of any faith from using violence to achieve the advancement of that faith...
6. The Muslim brotherhood in Egypt accepts the Pope's explanation...
7. Now even more mysteriously organized Muslims around the world begin to threaten the Pope, and harass churches in the middle east...
8. The Pope again reiterates that he was not saying that he believes all Muslims are now using violence to advance their faith thus why he was giving his original lecture to discourage ALL faiths from using the aforementioned violence to spread their aforementioned faiths...
9. The still mysteriously organized Muslims continue their street VIOLENCE, burning the Pope in effigy...
10. To which the Pope in his Sunday Mass reminds everyone that the QUOTES he referred to were not his views, but that lifted from a debate that happened like 1400 years previously...
11. After which non-violent Muslims in Somalia seek out an Italian nun and execute her... demonstrating their horrid opposition to violence of course...
12. Simultaneously the Vatican continues to try to calm people's excitabilities...
13. Whereby Iran's crazy-man-in-charge openly states that the Pope is part of a US-Israeli conspiracy... and like so many other things the man says - no one has a clue what he means...
14. Which brings us up to date where the non-violent, peace-loving, freedom-protecting Muslims in the world are now calling for the death of the Pope...
Grrrrrrr.... I think the Byzantine emporer had it right... paraphrased: Muslims are nuts!

At least on all of the talk radio in New York. All day today its been "Rosie and The Pope". So I thought, if you've had a hard time getting ahold of that Rosie clip - it's easier just to click on here:
BTW... Rosie's comments are typical of the ignorance of the left that is driving to run up a big win in November for the Democrats. We can't let this happen. I've spoken before of the incredible opportunity to join Rightroots and help get the word out and money raised for the "good guys" in this elections cycle. Give today! It doesn't matter the amount - what is needed is a number of people to get involved so you're gift of any size will help!
And while you're at it - get my hot off the press book - it makes for great weekend reading!

To put it bluntly - FOOD POISONING STINKS!
Let's also suffice it to say that I will never again order the chicken salad from the deli downstairs from my radio studios.
I've never spent 12 hours hugging porcelain, and really have no desire to ever do it again.
I also didn't know that you had muscles in the side of your head that will hurt if left in a reflexed position for more than a few, force-filled seconds.
All this to say, yesterday I could barely get out of bed without falling over, and today I'm "stable but weak" as I told my co-workers.
I put my chances for tomorrow - somewhere in the 65% range, which is good because I'm speaking at the Hope Center, in Jersey City, New Jersey on Sunday morning...
Now... where's my clear jello and ginger-ale...?

In papers across New Jersey today the news of the now opened federal investigation into the corruption issues of Robert Menendez are drawing sharp comparisons to the candidacy of Robert Torricelli from four years ago.
Writing in the New York Post, Eric Fettman: JERSEY'S SENATE FIGHT:NERVOUS DEMS
News broke last Friday of a federal investigation into Menendez's finances. Over a period of nearly nine years, Menendez collected $329,353 in rent for what's been described as a "shabby" three-story rowhouse he owns in Union City.
Problem is, the rent came from the North Hudson Community Action Corp., an anti-poverty agency - and, even as he was the group's landlord, then-Rep. Menendez was muscling the federal Department of Health and Human Services to list the outfit as a federally qualified health center.
That designation has allowed the agency to rake in $9.6 million in federal HHS grants since 1998 - indeed, Washington now covers 64 percent of its yearly budget. And grateful NHCAC employees and officials have given thousands to Menendez's campaigns.
As for the building, Menendez sold it in 2003 for $405,000 - a 440 percent profit over what he paid for it two decades before.
Now comes reports that U.S. Attorney Chris Christie - who has won bipartisan praise for his anti-corruption prosecutions - has subpoenaed NHCAC's financial records.
Writing in the New York Observer, Steve Kornacki: JERSEY TURNS DEMS PANIC
Likewise, Mr. Menendez has struggled to connect with the public the way an incumbent Democrat should in a blue state—especially in a year when the national climate is so favorable to his party. When a poll was released earlier this month—before news of the investigation broke—that placed Mr. Menendez five points behind his Republican challenger, State Senator Tom Kean Jr., he joined Mr. Torricelli as one of only two New Jersey Democrats in the last 34 years to trail in a Senate race in September.
And in New Jersey papers from one end of the state to the other:
The week after his campaign was shaken by news of a federal investigation related to a property the senator once rented to a non-profit group, the ad signaled two of Menendez's strengths in the close Senate contest. He has raised more than three times as much money as Kean, giving him an advertising advantage. And he can run against an unpopular Republican president.
A Kean spokeswoman said the Democrat would not be able to distract voters from the character issue.
"The bottom line is that Bob Menendez's ties to corruption are too substantial for him to dismiss with expensive TV ads on an issue where he has no credibility," said the spokeswoman, Jill Hazelbaker.
It is abundantly clear that the campaign of Robert Menendez which was falling behind by as many as five points before any of these specifics had emerged is now having to go on complete defense - and THAT is going to make it difficult for a proactive message of any sort to be put forward.
The DEMS in NJ may attempt to do what they did four years ago - but even if they do (in illegally placing a substitution on the ballot) it is important to not allow that to matter - and one way you CAN and NEED to make a difference here is in ponying up some monies for TOM KEAN for U.S. SENATE.
Just do it!

The phrase "...as a doornail" comes to mind.
In my hot off the press book - MuscleHead Revolution: Overturning Liberalism with Commonsense Thinking - I highlight the significant ethical challenges of the liberal mouthpiece network.
This included but was not limited to the taking of excess of $850,000 tax-payer dollars that had been directed to go to after school tutoring for kids, and alzheimers medical services for seniors - but instead went into the operational coffers of Air America.
Liberals seldom have trouble playing loose with YOUR money for "compassionate causes" but are seldom generous with their own for such reasons.
Read the book, and decide for yourself...

From today's New York Post's front page story...
September 13, 2006 -- WASHINGTON - Taliban terror leaders who had gathered for a funeral - and were secretly being watched by an eye-in-the-sky American drone - dodged assassination because U.S. rules of engagement bar attacks in cemeteries, according to a shocking report.
U.S. intelligence officers in Afghanistan are still fuming about the recent lost opportunity for an easy kill of Taliban honchos packed in tight formation for the burial, NBC News reported.
The unmanned airplane, circling undetected high overhead, fed a continuous satellite feed of the juicy target to officers on the ground.
"We were so excited. I came rushing in with the picture," one U.S. Army officer told NBC.
But that excitement quickly turned to gut-wrenching frustration because the rules of engagement on the ground in Afghanistan blocked the U.S. from mounting a missile or bomb strike in a cemetery, according to the report.
Pentagon officials declined comment and referred The Post to Central Command officers in Afghanistan, who did not respond to a request for comment or explanation.
Agonizingly, Army officers could do nothing but watch the pictures being fed back from the drone as the Taliban splintered into tiny groups - too small to effectively target with the drone - and headed back to their mountainside hideouts.
Military experts told The Post that rules of engagement are constantly adjusted on the ground in Afghanistan and Iraq, depending on the severity of the threat posed by the enemy.
In Iraq, gun battles have raged inside cemeteries in Fallujah, and once-off-limits mosques are now subject to U.S. searches.
How frustrating must this be to the valiant men and women serving to keep us safe?
Change the stupid rules! They wouldn't think twice about killing us...

Well I already know that the Brangelina household is one that my children would never be welcomed at - but even if they were - would never be allowed to visit.
In the new edition of Esquire set to hit stores on Sept.19th, Brad Pitt (Mr. Jolie to those in the know) is interviewed about his current living arrangement. Based on the idea that its really no big whoop if he an Angelina are shaking up with no bond of marriage to secure their children's future - Pitt speaks as though he has life by the toe.
When asked about how he's going to raise his children, "I try not to stifle them in any way. If it's not hurting anyone, I want them to be able to explore. Sometimes that means they're quite rambunctious."
NO BRAD - that means they are a royal pain in everyone's backside.
Then sort of out of the blue he uncorks this gem from his great untapped mind, "Angie and I will consider tying the knot when everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able."
Most people assume he is speaking of redefining the institution of marriage to include homosexual unions. Something Jolie is expert on...
Some have also speculated that he perhaps meant siblings being able to sexually "explore" - again reference Jolie...
The trouble with Pitt is that in making these statements he is exposing himself for what he truly is - wicked and ignorant...
He is in essence saying...
1. He won't provide the security of a relationship with his child's mother in the context of what would be best for her - simply on the basis of his love for his child and her mother.
2. He believes the state of marriage is something so callous he can hold it hostage - for blackmail against the populous.
3. He foolishly believes that redefining the institution of marriage that society is being helped - where in every nation that has done it - the reverse has happened.
4. He refuses to recognize the truthful concept that already exists - every person in America is already allowed to marry...
Wicked and ignorant - Brad Pitt - the Associated Press' version of father of the year...
Silly and sad...

New Jersey is a terrible place... terrible hair, terrible fashion, terrible economy, terrible taxes, and horrific politics.
Senator Bob Menendez is now undergoing ethics probes for taking $300,000 in rent from the North Hudson Community Action Corp, and then petitioning the federal government for $9,600,000 in federal dollars.
He is also the only man EVER to vote for highest tax increase in New Jersey on the state level, AND the highest federal tax increase in the U.S. Congress.
THUS ONE SMALL REASON YOU NEED TO VOTE FOR TOM KEAN JR. if you live in the Garden State.
Menendez was one of the "McGreevey boys" that Governor Corzine "took care of" upon his taking over as Governor in 2006. Now former Governor Jim McGreevey is going on Oprah to talk about his enjoyment of engaging in same-gender sexual behavior - even in an adulterous fashion.
Of course you do KNOW don't you that his love for other men's bums had NOTHING to do with why he should have stepped down. He was a sleazy, incompetent, good for nothing - who gave Homeland Security duties to his lover - who was not even qualified nor had the clearance to attend HS meetings. INFACT he wasn't even a citizen!

Much of the morning speculation of the morning news cycle had said the attack was two low level in its sophistication to be possible Al-Qaida. But the AP's Albert Aji seems to think otherwise...
We also know that major attacks with Al-Qaida have in the past followed a pattern, a warning, followed by a small attack, followed by a massive one.
Is there something big just around the corner? Sure do wish I knew...

This little stat is interesting on two levels...
1. It's about a 1000 more per year than the Clinton administration was getting...
2. Isn't this something that the MSM should at least make mention of?

Today's show is available on PodCAST now. Click here for hour 1, and here for hour 2. It was a mixture of callers - speaking from the heart about 9/11, what's happened since, and even whether or not we have "remembered" a little too much.
This was an emotional broadcast with lots of production value to it - several montages, special pieces, and footage from the original events five years ago. Music from Kathleen Battle, Enya, Celine Dion, Michael W. Smith, Faith Hill, Steven Curtis Chapman - and even the combined members of Congress. Reflections from Hugh Hewitt, Eric Hogue, President Bush, Dr. Billy Graham, myself, and callers from across America.
There is also one production piece in the final segment of hour two that you do not want to miss - it is an absolute don't miss. The "listen live" links will only be active for seven days. My advice would be to download the two hour MP3 files for yourself - priceless stuff in here that you do not want to miss.
