In Memory of George Carlin

By now many have heard that George Carlin died Sunday, June 22, 2008. George was 71 and was at a show as recently as last week in Nevada.

Many have no clue that George Carlin was in the U.S. Air Force, he was first a suit and tie comedian and he even appeared on 'The Tonight Show' when Jack Paar was the host.

What I believe George was best known for were the seven "Filthy Words" that eventually lead George Carlin to the Supreme Court.

And in memory of George I would like to list those seven words.


The Original 'Seven Filthy Words':

shit,

piss,

fuck,

cunt,

cocksucker,

motherfucker,

and tits.

And for those of you that would like to read the direct quote from the Supreme Court Decision of FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION v. PACIFICA FOUNDATION, 438 U.S. 726, 98 S.Ct. 3026 (1978), you can here

George Carlin is one person that I looked up to for the simple fact he held the U.S. Constitution dear to his heart; especially the First Amendment, and he refused to allow all American's rights to be dismissed.

George I hope you're enjoying your after-life in which you are watching the decline of civilization on a "heavenly CNN." (comment by George Carlin to Playboy in 2005) We all know you were looking forward to it, and could you keep a seat warm for us?

McCain Endorses Bush's 3rd Term

I know we have all heard that through McCain, Bush is going to have his third term. With me just not being one to go with the hype, I ignored those comments until...

I was watching the news, they were showing clips of Bush & McCain in the background, I noticed something that made me do a double-take.

What grabbed my attention was when Bush's was approaching the mic at a McCain event and to my astonishment, Bush help up THREE fingers and the he continued to repeat this gesture and McCain gave Bush the THUMBS UP!!! I still wasn't convinced until.... as Bush drawing close to McCain to shake his hand, once again held up THREE fingers!!!

Imagine my shock, I couldn't believe my eyes and I knew right away this had to be known, I couldn't kept this to myself!!!

I knew my Readers would want to see this and since my Readers always want proof, I found the video and placed it here for you all to see. (For those of you that want it short and sweet, Bush's three finger salute starts at 3:38 through 3:52 on the video)



I gave this some more thought and I came up with two options for Bush's three finger salute:

A. Bush was letting all know; including McCain, that he (Bush) was in fact by proxy was going to have a third term or...

B. Instead of putting up two fingers in a sign of peace, Bush was putting up three fingers in a sign of war

I leave it you; my dear Readers, to decide.

Let's All Do The Media Twist

Let's all do the Media Twist, it's a simple move anyone can do it. All it takes is an 5 second sound-bite, laziness and a twist.

Let's take the latest Media Twist on Obama's so called flipping and flopping on Israel.

How many times in the last 18 months have you heard Obama was anti-Israel? How many times in the last week have you heard that Obama has flipped flopped on his so called anti-Israel views?

Many otherwise well educated people have fallen for this latest Media Twist without no knowledge what and why the media has thrown that out there for us all to eat without checking for spoilage.

How did the Media Twist start with Obama was anti-Israel? How many of you know that answer? Don't worry this isn't a quiz, this is one of the few times I believe giving you the facts are more important than teaching you to research for yourself ((but for those of you that want to research try wiki for a start and one with cited sources you can check).

In March of 2007 Obama said to a small group of democrats in Iowa "Nobody is suffering more than the Palestinian people,... If we could get some movement among Palestinian leadership, what I'd like to see is a loosening up of some of the restrictions on providing aid directly to the Palestinian people."

Of course this was all it took to start the Media Twist (what do you want to bet that Faux Noise made the first dance move).

Of course through out Obama's campaigning all his critics can find is what associations of his have said like Rev. Wright, who some claim is anti-Israel, but if one takes the time to look at Obama and his actions, they would be surprise to find out that Obama's voting record is far from anti-Israel.

So let's take a break from the Media Twist and look at some facts.

January 2006, Obama denounced Hamas while praising former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. Obama stated that Sharon's role in the conflict had always been "absolutely important and constructive."

Obama was also a co-sponsor of the Palestinian Anti-Terrorism Act of 2006, which in part calls on "members of the international community to avoid contact with and refrain from financially supporting the terrorist organization Hamas until it agrees to recognize Israel, renounce violence, disarm, and accept prior agreements, including the Roadmap."

Obama defended Israel's response to the killing of eight Israeli soldiers and kidnapping of two others near the border with Lebanon, telling NBC's Tim Russert on August 22, 2006, "I don't think there is any nation that would not have reacted the way Israel did after two soldiers had been snatched. I support Israel's response to take some action in protecting themselves."

2006 Israel-Hezbollah War Obama said, " don't fault Israel for wanting to rid their border with Lebanon from those Katyusha missiles that can fire in and harm Israeli citizens, so I think that any cease fire would have to be premised on the removal of those missiles."

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee on 2 March 2007, Obama called Israel "our strongest ally in the region," and stated: "We must preserve our total commitment to our unique defense relationship with Israel by fully funding military assistance and continuing work on the Arrow and related missile defense programs." On the Palestinian Authority's new unity government, Obama said: "We should all be concerned about the agreement negotiated among Palestinians in Mecca last month."

Obama has also discussed in more general terms his views about the Palestinians tête-à-tête the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. On June 4, 2007, he stated that:

...resolution [to the conflict] and a better life for all people... is something that can be achieved, but it's going to require some soul-searching on the Palestinian side. They have to recognize Israel's right to exist; they have to renounce violence and terrorism as a tool to achieve their political ends; they have to abide by agreements. In that context, I think the Israelis will gladly say, "Let's move forward negotiations that would allow them to live side by side with the Palestinians in peace and security."

And lastly but not leastly Obama denounced former President Jimmy Carter for meeting with Hamas. Obama said "Hamas is not a state, Hamas is a terrorist organization."

Now that you have the facts, can you really say Obama's record shows him being anti-Israel?

Just remember that the media is ran by fallible people that can be controlled, brought and coerced, I now return you to enjoy the latest top hits of Media Twist.
