HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BOB!

U.S. Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia is 92 years old today.

Citizens Against Government Waste has dedicated a web page to him because of his record-breaking pork -- over one-and-a-half billion big ones -- that he has brought to his tiny home state of West Virginia over the years.

I'm personally not big on term limits but in his case I would make an exception.

The people of West Virginia have been electing him over and over again for 57 years, in large part because he makes big promises and delivers big bacon.

Oh, and in the 1950s and 1960s, West Virginia voters adored him because he vehemently opposed little pieces of legislation like the Civil Rights Act and various voting rights acts.

So let's hear it for the former Exalted Cyclops of the Ku Klux Klan!


In more recent years he has said that he regrets his unfaltering positions on civil rights.

Uh-huh.

Three years after he supposedly renounced all ties to the KKK, he wrote the following in a letter to the Klan's Imperial Wizard:

"The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia"

He wasn't just a well-meaning, passive member of the KKK.

He was a Kleagle -- an official recruiter.

He brought 'em in by the dozens and personally passed out the white sheets himself.

Here's what he had to say about whites serving next to blacks in the U.S. military:

Rather I should die a thousand times, and see old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels.

In 2001, in a nationally televised interview with Tony Snow, he had no problem stating, by comparison, that there are "white niggers."

But hey, the guy's a Lib Democrat through and through, right?

I'm sure he's real proud that Barack Hussein Obama was elected President of the United States.

Did I mention that he chairs the Senate Appropriations Committee's Subcommittee on Homeland Security?

Oh, yeah -- we need this confused, racist geezer heading up that responsibility.



Isn't it time to drain that swamp?

THEIR DAY IN COURT

I can see it now:

The architects of 9/11 will have their day in court.

Their commie attorney will call a military commander to the stand.

"Did you read them their Miranda rights, sir?"



The answer will be no because they were not common, every-day arrestees but were prisoners of war.

The attorney will call for a mistrial.

And the judge will grant it.

IT'S MONDAY -- LET'S LAUGH AT LIBS!

In the press kit for Al Gore's new book "Our Choice," he's hailed as a Nobel Laureate.

Thank God for that!

And the subtitle of his book is "A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis."

Hey, wait just a minute.

Climate crisis?



What happened to his beloved "global warming"?

Shouldn't this incredibly smart and sincere Nobel Laureate stick to his guns and have "A Plan to Solve Global Warming" as his subtitle?

Oops.

Sorry, Libs.

I referred to guns.

Not that this Nobel Laureate would ever use a gun.

My bad.

Oh, wait.

Maybe not my bad.

Here's what the Nobel Laureate said about the pro-gun votes he cast as a Tennessee Senator that made him a hero to the NRA:

Guns did not really present a threat to public safety but rather were predominantly a source of recreation.

This may be the first time a Nobel Laureate ever wanted to eat his words.

A SALUTE TO OUR VETERANS

For America's men and women who have served in the military and given the full measure of their devotion every day.

DON'T GET THE WRONG IDEA ABOUT ISLAM

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano wants to make sure everybody in America follows the politically correct mantra when it comes to the terrorist attack on Fort Hood.

Of course she was in the United Arab Emirates at the time she uttered this foolishness.

When did it become cool to downplay the savagery of terrorist attacks on U.S. soil?

Why are so many individuals and the mainstream media suggesting that what happened at Fort Hood was just another run-of-the-mill workplace shooting?

Workplace shootings are horrible and our collective hearts go out to the victims and their families. But do they equate to waging war on the United States of America?

Did Jason Rodriguez dress in full Muslim religious garb and shout “Allah Akbar” before opening fire?

No.

Note to the MSM: You can’t compare the two and then expect the rest of us to agree that one murderer was simply the copycat of the other.

Stop insulting our intelligence, please!



And now the Obama administration is brushing off the Fort Hood massacre as a non-incident.

So let’s follow Napolitano’s advice and not jump to conclusions, OK?

IT'S MONDAY -- LET'S LAUGH AT LIBS!

PETA wants to save the seals.

That's a noble gesture, really.

It's just that the celebrities they've brought on board for their Save the Seals marketing campaign all look like a bunch of whores and punks.

There's Pamela Anderson, who looks like she's ready to seduce a seal in a porno bestiality film.

Then there's Perez Hilton, that self-described "Queen of All Media" who's trying to look all serious and mature and straight in his PETA ad.

Sorry, big guy. You can't put lipstick on a pig.

Oh, and Steve-O, who has bragged that he'll eat any animal penis for money.

Earth to PETA: This guy's a hard-core carnivore and you're using him as your spokesman?

And how about Christian Serratos, who looks like she's fully prepared to undo those side buttons for a romp in the hay.

This is a chick who makes movies about sucking human blood.

Earth to PETA -- oh, sorry, I'm repeating myself.

ICH BIN BESCHÄFTIGT

Translation: I'm busy.

Senator Barack Hussein Obama conducted a love fest in Berlin (photo on right) shortly before the U.S. Presidential election.

But now that he's the President of the United States, he's not attending any of the celebrations Monday, November 9th, commemorating the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

The leader of the free world is way, way too busy to celebrate freedom.

The German press is now chastising Obama, using "I'm busy" as the headline in articles reporting on the cowardly no-show.

Baghdad Bob is saying that there's not time for Obama to attend the Festival of Freedom in Berlin on Monday because he's preparing for a trip to Asia.

He's also saying that Obama doesn't want to do anything to insult Russia because he's been working so hard to cultivate a relationship with that nation.

Huh?

President Dmitry Medvedev will be representing Russia at the Festival of Freedom, you idiot. Prime Minister Gordon Brown will be representing England and President Nicolas Sarkozy will be representing France.

But President Barack Hussein Obama will not be representing the U.S.

He's delegating that job to Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Translation: Sloppy seconds.

And don't think for a minute that Obama's attendance at the Festival of Freedom was a last-minute request.

Planning has been in the works for more than two years.




My guess is that the real reason Obama isn't going is that he doesn't want his name associated with anyone so evil and destructive as President Ronald Reagan.





Standing in front of the Brandenburg Gate, President Reagan famously demanded, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall."

Did the wall come down immediately? No, it would be two more years.

But for those naysayers who insist that President Reagan had nothing to do with the fall of the wall, consider this (and bite me):

He had the courage to stand in open and public defiance of the wall's existence, when nobody else would, and demand, for all the world to hear, that it be torn down.

Erected in August 1961 by the East Germany communist regime, the wall divided Berlin and therefore East and West Germany for 28 years.





It cut through the heart of the city, separating commerce, transportation corridors, families and friends.




Minefields and border police with shoot-to-kill orders thwarted any further attempts by East Germans to hope for a better future.

While the communists tightened their grip on the lives of everybody in East Berlin, West Berlin became a walled-in outpost of freedom and democracy.

Most people are not as afraid of their own shadows as President Barack Hussein Obama.

For you, there are ample opportunities to commemorate the wall's literal downfall on Monday, including:

* 9:30 a.m. event at The Reagan Library near L.A.

* 7 p.m. Festival of Freedom at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin with concerts by the Berlin state orchestra and Bon Jovi, speeches by heads of state from democratic nations, and televised interview with Mikhail Gorbachev.

* Or watch proceedings on TV or the Internet.

Even if you don't have time to do any of the above on Monday, take a moment to reflect on the courage and commitment that led up to the razing of the Berlin Wall.



Because President Barack Hussein Obama will be busy.
