Now for charges of actual plagiarism we need look no further than the Bush White House, which seems to be trying to set the record for most broken rules in the course of any regime.
Scientists advance ‘drought crop’
Scientists in Finland and the U.S. reportedly have pinpointed a gene that controls the amount of CO2 a plant absorbs as well as the amount of water vapor it releases.
Hillary’s got a new ad! It’s about answering phones.
I’ll tell you who I would want to answer that phone, and it ain’t Hillary. Nor is it anyone of her legion of cronies and loyalists who have thus far proved that all they are good at is mismanaging the campaign of one of the most famous and formidable presidential candidates in history.
No I would prefer to have someone qualified answering that phone. Not someone who got their job through cronyism and “doing favors” in the past for the President.
That’s one area where Obama’s “lack of experience” in Washington works to his advantage. He doesn’t have a long line of people waiting on day one to cash in on past favors.
Israel Warns of Gaza “Holocaust”
Using that word as a threat against an entire group of people is absolutely disgusting.
Here’s the story from BBC News.
Update 3-3-08: It has come to the attention of the editors at Rebel that the inclusion of the word “holocaust” in the original Reuter’s article was a mistranslation of the word “shoa” and the phrase “yamitu shoa” which really means “will bring/cause disaster/catastrophe.” When correctly translated, this phrase is neither disgusting nor is it particularly news worthy. For more info click here.
The producers of Rebel sincerely apologize for any offense or confusion caused by this mistranslation.
A Distinction to be Proud of
With more than 2.3 million people behind bars at the start of 2008, the United States leads the world in both the number and the percentage of residents it incarcerates, leaving even far more populous China a distant second, noted the report by the nonpartisan Pew Center on the States. From the Washington Post.
More people in jail than China? Really? Now that is What’s Wrong With America.
Is McCain actually Ineligible for the Presidency?
No. But this stupid article from the NY Times does bring up an interesting discussion: what exactly does the constitutional phrase “natural-born citizen” actually mean? And does it preclude test-tube babies?
What’s Wrong With America? Willy Cunningham.
Outrageous, racist, little known, “shock jock” Willy Bill Cunningham introduces John McCain at a rally yesterday:
Everyone’s been beating the numerous Hussein references to death, so I’ll ignore that point(although someone pointed out the fact last night that Hussein was also the name of one of our closest allies, the late King of Jordan). But I will say that Willy Cunningham is an idiot. First of all, he can’t pronounce “kumbaya” correctly, he uses faulty logic to talk about the “All Bill Clinton” channel giving Obama a free ride; last time I checked Obama was running against a Clinton, so wouldn’t the media want to destroy Obama? I guess it’s too much to expect that someone who is a racist idiot might have some logic skills, but oh well.
Finally, here’s Willy Cunningham’s reaction to McCain’s disavowal of his comments, on that bastion of sophisticated journalism, Fox News (my apologies for the length of the video, it was all I could find):
Willy Bill Cunningham, you are What’s Wrong With America.
P.S. anyone who gets bested by Alan Colmes shouldn’t be allowed on television.
