Number 8 on my list of the The Hottest Bond Girls comes from the Pierce Brosnan era of James Bond. The movie was from 2002. It was not one of the best Bond movies. In fact, it was probably in the bottom 50%, but the actress made viewers notice HER instead of the sub-par plot.
Number 8 on my list is:
Halle Berry as Giacinta "Jinx" Johnson in "Die Another Day."
Just look at her body. David Justice is an idiot for letting her get away. By the way, she was 32 years old when she filmed the movie.
Here is a small piece of trivia: She received an injury on the set of Die Another Day. Halle was injured on location in Cadiz, Spain while shooting an action sequence that involved Pierce Brosnan firing on a helicopter being flown by Rick Yune.
"Switch them off, or I'll be half the girl I used to be!" - Halle Berry as Jinx from the scene in the movie "Die Another Day" when the lasers are threatening to cut her in
I wish I could put the music to "Eli's Coming" by Three Dog Night to these words. They fit perfectly.
I am not diminishing the treat of Hurricane Gustav. It could end up here in Texas. But sometimes a little bit of humor can ease the tension and the stress.
Gustav's comin' Gustav's comin' (Gustav's a-comin') Well you better move your butt, your loving butt Gustav's a-comin' and the cards say... a big-ass storm!!!
Gustav's comin', move your butt, girl Gustav's comin', move your butt, boy Girl, Gustav's a-comin', you better move Boy, Gustav's a-comin', you better move Girl, Gustav's a-comin', you better move Boy, Gustav's comin', move your butt, boy (move it) You better, better move your butt Gustav's comin', better run
Run but you'll never get away No, you'll never get away From the wind and the rain Your'll run to Texas by the coast Think about going somewhere else, (we done want you here)
Gustav's a-comin' (they ran but we don't want them in Texas) Gustav's a-comin' (they ran but we don't want them in Texas) Gustav's a-comin' and he's comin' to git ya (they ran but... they ran but...) Get down on your knees (they ran but they never got away)
"You need to be concerned and you need to get your butts moving and out of New Orleans right now. This is the storm of the century." - Ray Nagin (Mayor of New Orleans) in a press conference on August 30, 2008 concerning approaching Hurricane Gustav.
With the Democratic National Convention turning into a mutual admiration society, I do not for one minute believe that Hillary RODHAM Clinton and William JEFFERSON Clinton are firmly behind Barack HUSSEIN Obama.
This Sean Delonas cartoon from the New York Post (posted August 28, 2008) says it all.
"I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky." - Bill Clinton
If I could ever have a one-on-one conversation with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, I would inquire if he knew the locations or could produce the following documents for public view.
All or most of these items should be public knowledge, at least for a person who desires to occupy the White House.
I would like to know the answers to these questions from BHO
Below is a list of some documents of yours that cannot be located anywhere.
These documents seem to have literally vanished! Most all are "public records", so perhaps you can help, so the "electorate" can corroborate and understand the many claims you have made. I mean, after all, you are presenting yourself as the "next President of the United States" and I'm sure you would want to be "open, honest and above board" on all matters.
So. where are Your -
Occidental College records
Your Columbia College records
Your Columbia Thesis paper
Your Harvard College records
Your Selective Service Registration
Your medical records
Your Illinois State Senate records
Your Illinois State Senate schedule
Your Law practice client list
A Certified Copy of your original Birth certificate
Your embossed, signed paper Certification of Live Birth
Your Harvard Law Review articles that were published
Your University of Chicago scholarly articles
Your Record of baptism
The citizens of the USA would appreciate your prompt and honest response.
PS: And just how does one manage to "expunge" such public records so effectively?
"When I ran for the U.S. Senate the assumption was that any one's name that was close to "Osama" doesn't stand a chance. So if somebody thought that tacking on "Hussein" in there would be a killer, then I think they underestimate the American people and the seriousness of the problems we face." - Barack HUSSEIN Obama in a January 1, 2007 article of Newsweek magazine.
I video has been posts on the American Issues Project's website. It highlights the connection between Barack HUSSEIN Obama and 60s radical terrorist William Ayers. It is posted below. This is another case against BHO becoming POTUS.
"The reason we weren't terrorists is because we did not commit random acts of terror against people. Terrorism was what was being practiced in the countryside of Vietnam by the United States." - William Ayers in an interview with the Chicago Tribune in 2001
I am watching the Democratic National Convention on television. I was hoping for a knock-down drag-out fight between Hillary RODHAM Clinton's supporters and the ultra-liberal wackos that back Barack HUSSEIN Obama.
The fight did not materialize but I cannot help but think that Hillary is working behind the scenes to bring down BHO. It seems to me that it is in her best interest for McCain to win in November in order to give herself a chance to run for POTUS in 2012.
These two retired officers are former leaders in our military. I cannot believe that anyone involved with the military in any capacity could, in their right mind, support BHO.
From my research, both of these people seem to have had very storied careers in the military. I will do some research and see what I can find out about these two people. They both have just made my "List of Famous (or Infamous) Mooks."

The Democratic National Convention begins today in Denver. I will be watching to see if the Hillary RODHAM Clinton and Barack HUSSEIN Obama supporters go to blows.
Barack HUSSEIN Obama has viciously attacked John Sidnet McCain and his family for being successful and living the American Dream after giving so much for his country.
BHO claims to be looking out for the people who have had the misfortune of losing their homes in an economic downturn? But if he cares so much for people who are having bad luck, how come he didn't take of his own family first?

Barack HUSSEIN Obama selected Senator Joseph Biden of Delaware late last night to be his vice presidential running mate. This choice is obviously an attempt to balance his ticket with an older congressional veteran well-versed in foreign and defense issues.
My Lovely Bride says this was a smart move for BHO. She said this could be the choice that pushes him ahead in the race and gives him some experience on the ticket. She is a smart lady, and has a way of seeing things that I do not.
BHO was going to pick someone that help him look experienced.
It will be fun to watch DNC convention next week. I hope Clinton and her supporters tear them into shreds. That will make it easier for McCain to win in November.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) wants to buy a SeaWorld park, possibly the one in San Diego, free the animals inside and replace them with virtual reality exhibits.
Most states (and most people) do not recognize gay marriage -- but now Hallmark does.
The nation's largest greeting card company is rolling out same-sex wedding cards -- featuring two tuxedos, overlapping hearts or intertwined flowers, with best wishes inside. "Two hearts. One promise," one says.
I guess I will not be buying cards by Hallmark anymore!!!
I know what you are thinking? "What is Texas Truth doing listen a disco song like this?"
The TRUTH is I loved disco when I was in college. I always knew the way to a woman's heart (or anything else) was by dancing.
Women LOVE to dance, even if they are not very good at it. They want to be taken in a man's arms and swept away. They want to be LEAD on a dance floor. They WANT to be taken care of. You guys out there know it and so do the ladies.
As far as this song, I always like it and YES, I even liked the movie.
Look at the cast: George Carlin, Ivan Dixon (Hogan's Heroes), Antonio Fargas (Starsky and Hutch), DeWayne Jessie (aka: Otis Day from Animal House), Lorraine Gary (Jaws), Bill Duke (Predator) and Richard Pryor.
They were all in it. A great cast. Sit back and enjoy Rose Royce performing "Car Wash."
PS: The lyrics are below. That will be my quote for today's post.
Ooh ooh You might not ever get rich But let me tell ya it's better than diggin' a ditch There ain't no tellin' who you might meet A movie star or maybe even an Indian chief
(Workin') At the car wash Workin' at the car wash, girl Come on and sing it with me (Car wash) Sing it with the feelin' ya'all (Car wash, girl)
Ooh!
Some of the work gets kinda hard This ain't no place to be if you planned on bein' a star Let me tell you it's always cool And the boss don't mind sometimes if you act the fool
At the car wash Whoa whoa whoa whoa Talkin' about the car wash, girl Come on, ya'all and sing it for me (Car wash) Oooh oooh oooh (Car wash, girl)
(Work and work) Well, those cars never seem to stop coming (Work and work) Keep those rags and machines humming (Work and work) My fingers to the bone (Work) Can't wait till it's time to go home (?)
(Hey, get your car washed today) Fill up and you don't have to pay Come on and give us a play (Do the wash, right away)
(The car wash) Talkin' 'bout the car wash Car wash, girl Come on, ya'all, let's sing it with me (Car wash) Sing it with feelin', ya'all (Car wash, girl)
Whoa whoa whoa whoa (Car wash) Never seem to stop comin' What'd I say Keep those rags and machines hummin' (Car wash) Let me tell you, it's always cool . . .
I have a BIG problem with this. An anchor child wins a gold medal for our country and we are suppose to forget that his birth was the act of criminals?

The results of the latest Texas Truth poll are in.
The poll question was "Who has made the biggest mistake of the 2008 Presidential Race?"
The results are as follows: Hillary Rodham Clinton 13 votes 48%
Barack Hussein Obama 8 votes 30%
John Sidney McCain 6 votes 22%
Thanks for all the votes. Look for a new poll soon. "A 1990 Gallup poll found that 77 percent of Americans polled said abortion was the taking of human life. I agree, and believe that taking the life on an innocent child is unjust." - Robert Casey
Number 9 on my list of the 10 Hottest Bond Girls is from the Roger Moore era of James Bond films.
This movie came out in 1973 when I was a freshman in college. It was the first film I remember seeing the actress in and was overcome by her beauty. With the help of very little makeup, her naturally beauty was quite evident. And those eyes!!! Oh my gosh, those eyes. They could see into a man's soul and know everything; past, present, and future, about said man.
The actress was 22 years old when she made this film and her innocence, coupled with the sexiness of the character, is a natural fit for number 9 on my list. She was an excellent choice as "THE" Bond girl for Moore's debut as 007.
Jane Seymour as Solitaire in "Live and Let Die"
[Bond has just explained the first two Lover's Lessons to Solitaire] Solitaire: Is there time before we leave, for Lesson number 3? James Bond: [undressing] Of course. There's no sense going out half-cocked.
As may of my fellow bloggers know, I am a movie buff. I love old movies (and even some of the newer ones).
One of my favorite movie genres is James Bond. I try never to miss a James Bond movie when they come on. Now that I have a DVR, I record them in case I have other commitments when they air.
I am going to start a 10-part list with his blog post. My list will entail, in my opinion, the 10 hottest Bond girls. I do not want to hear anything about this post as being sexist. My Lovely Bride has issued her official Stamp of Approval for the posts.
Britt Ekland as Mary Goodnight in "The Man with the Golden Gun"
She has those eyes. The eyes that can only come from seeing the world as an adventure. She has a petite figure and a well proportioned body. Her character was adventurous, inquisitive, impulsive, a bit naive, and last of all sexy. In addition, who can forget her bikini on Scaramanga's island? She is a great start for number 10 on my list. Britt Ekland was 32 years old whent he moive was made in 1974. "The Man with the Golden Gun" was Moore's second movie as 007.
[Mary Goodnight, a prisoner on Francisco Scaramanga's island, appears in a bikini] Francisco Scaramanga: Ah, here's Miss Goodnight now. Goodnight: James! James Bond: Aren't we a little overdressed, Goodnight?
The latest Sean Delones cartoon came out in the New York Post on August 12, 2008. It was a depiction of the three biggest sleazeballs in the democratic party. It is posted to the left. I feel it is one of the best cartoons he has ever done! "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" - Bill Clinton
Here is another installment of the lies of Barack HUSSEIN Obama:
68) Look at my education record in Illinois - LIAR - In reality, Obama never really championed the local councils. He supported them behind the scenes and only eventually came out publicly on their behalf. When he did weigh in, he came down on the wrong side of the debate—against protecting principals from unwarranted dismissals and in favor of keeping councils independent, no matter what. In the end, the resolution of the conflict between the two sides didn’t alleviate anyone’s concerns. Instead, it prolonged a turf battle that seems to have dragged down academic progress in the years since. Read more here http://www.slate.com/id/2188010?wpisrc=newsletter Source: slate.com
Source: ABC News: Buried in Eloquence, Obama Contradictions About Pastor
67) “I don’t think my church is actually particularly controversial,” Obama said at a community meeting in Nelsonville, Ohio, earlier this month. - LIAR - But yesterday, he told a different story. “Did I ever hear him make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in church? Yes,” he said in his speech yesterday in Philadelphia.
66) I did not take money from oil companies: - LIAR - [03/31/2008]
THE FACTS: True enough, Obama does not take money from oil companies. No candidate does. It is illegal for corporations to give money to politicians. Corporations, however, do have political action committees that collect voluntary donations from employees and then donate them to candidates. Obama doesn’t take money from PACs. He also doesn’t take money from lobbyists.
But he does accept money from executives and other employees of oil companies and two of his fundraisers are oil company executives. As of Feb. 29, Obama’s presidential campaign had received nearly $214,000 from oil and gas industry employees and their families, according to an analysis by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. Clinton had received nearly $307,000 from industry workers and their families and Republican Sen. John McCain, the likely GOP presidential nominee, received nearly $394,000, according to the center’s totals.
Two of Obama’s fundraisers are Robert Cavnar, the chairman and chief executive of Houston-based Mission Resources Corp., and George Kaiser, the president and CEO of Tulsa-based Kaiser-Francis Oil Co. Source: Associated press via Yahoo News
65) I did NOT play the race card: - LIAR - [03/31/2008] Obama was the first to play the race card. According to Phialdelphia Inquirer, Quietly, the storm over the hateful views expressed by Sen. Barack Obama’s pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, has blown away the most insidious myth of the Democratic primary campaign. Obama and his surrogates have charged that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has deliberately and cleverly played the race card in order to label Obama the “black” candidate. Read more here
64) I played greater role in crafting liberal stands on gun control, the death penalty and abortion - LIAR - [03/31/2008] It was found that Obama — the day after sitting for the interview — filed an amended version of the questionnaire, which appears to contain Obama’s own handwritten notes added to one answer. Read Obama had greater role on liberal survey
63.) I have the best plan to cure the Mortgage Crisis - LIAR. [03/30/2008] You and your campaign buddy Penny SubPrime Bank Collapse Prizker have had your little fingers full of subprime cash - Obama has taken $1,180,103 from the top issuers of subprime loans: Obama received $266,907 from Lehman, $5395 from GMAC, $150,850 from Credit Suisse First Boston, $11,250 from Countrywide, $9052 from Washington Mutual, $161,850 from Citigroup, $4600 from CBASS, $170,050 from Morgan Stanley, $1150 from Centex, and last but certainly NOT LEAST - Obama received $351,900 from Goldman Sachs. I am sure that cash all came from folks who knew the subprime loan they had was a dream, eh?

Barack HUSSEIN Obama seems to be keeping it the family.
Michelle Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will be the featured first-night speakers at the Democratic National Convention, which also will include a videotaped message from Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy.
Michelle Obama will be introduced by her brother, Craig Robinson, a former basketball star at Princeton and now coach at Oregon State, on the first night on Aug. 25. Barack Obama's half sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, also will have a role at the convention.
This sure sounds like the Democratic National Convention will be a good old fashion family reunion.
I wonder if BHO will fly in all his kinfolk for all over the world to celebrate in his coronation? This guy really give me the proverbial "hee-bee jee-bees." I shutter to think what will happen if he gains the White House. His Presidency could set this country back 100 years.

People in Texas who were delivered by a midwife at private homes are having their citizenship questioned. In the early 1990s, dozens of midwives were convicted of forging U.S. birth certificates for about 15,000 children born in Mexico as far back as the 1960s.
I for one am glad some of these citizenship issues are being looked into. There is no counting the number of people who claim they were born here and in reality, had forged credentials.
Some will say this issue targets Hispanics (Mexicans). I say so what. I look around my area of Texas and I see so many Mexicans who steal our public services, demand the fruits of our country, yet have no right to them.
I top it off, they refuse to assimilate into our culture; holding on to the culture of their true country.
I could not care less if these people are having their citizenship questioned. I am willing to bet that the majority do have forged credentials.
"The men who do not become Americans and nothing else are hyphenated Americans; and there ought to be no room for them in this country. The man who calls himself an American citizen and who yet shows by his actions that he is primarily the citizen of a foreign land, plays a thoroughly mischievous part in the life of our body politic. He has no place here; and the sooner he returns to the land to which he feels his real heart-allegiance, the better it will be for every good American. There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else...." - Teddy Roosevelt
ABC News reported on its Web site yesterday that Rielle Hunter's younger sister Melissa said that Edwards should immediately follow through on his pledge to take a paternity test. "I would challenge him to do so," the sister said. The network did not use a last name for Melissa.
"Somebody must stand up and defend my sister," she said. "I wish that those involved would refrain from bad-mouthing my sister."
Hunter's sister said Rielle was being falsely portrayed as a "promiscuous person" and was not involved in "setting up" Edwards last month at a Beverly Hills hotel, where he was confronted by reporters from the National Enquirer.
"She is a good and honest person, the sweetest and most caring woman one could ever hope to meet," Melissa said. "Do you think it's easy for us to just sit back and let everyone rip her to shreds and not defend her honor?"
How can someone be a "good and honest person, the sweetest and most caring woman one could ever hope to meet" when they are sleeping with a married man when his wife has cancer.
IMHO, she is as much a piece of trash as John Edwards is.
Meanwhile, the editor of the Enquirer, which broke the story of the affair and Hunter's pregnancy, took issue with Edwards's statement distancing himself from photos purporting to be him holding Hunter's baby. Edwards admitted to ABC that he met secretly with Hunter at the Beverly Hilton to try to "keep this from becoming public."
Last week, the Enquirer published a blurry photo of a man who looks like Edwards holding a baby. The tabloid said the photo was taken at the hotel.
Edwards denies the photo is genuine.
Yeah...right!!! As I have said before, they both are a couple of MOOKS!!!
"I don't know if that picture is me. It could well be. It looks like me. I don't know who that baby is. I have no idea what the picture is." - John Edwards
The ex-mistress of former presidential candidate John Edwards says she will not participate in DNA testing to establish the paternity of her daughter.
Rielle Hunter's lawyer, Robert Gordon, says his client is a private individual who wishes to maintain the privacy of herself and her daughter.
In a statement, Gordon says that Hunter is ruling out any kind of testing that could establish who the daughter's father is.
On Friday, Edwards admitted to having an extramarital affair with Hunter in 2006 but denied that he was the father of Hunter's five-month-old daughter. Edwards said he will take a paternity test to prove he is not the father.
Of course she is refusing. That can only mean that Edwards has already paid her off to keep her mouth shut. Edwards stating he would take the test is a diversionary tactic.
What a couple of MOOKS!!!
"...Although John believes he should stand alone and take the consequences of his action now, when the door closes behind him, he has his family waiting for him." - Elizabeth Edwards
Two of my infamous MOOKS are back in the news. John Edwards admitted to ABC News that he repeatedly lied about an extramarital affair with Rielle Hunter, a 42-year old campaign employee sand self-described filmmaker.
Hunter was paid $114,000 by Edwards' political action committee to produce web documentaries for Edwards' campaign.
Edwards denied he is the father of her child and has offered to take a blood test to prove it.
Yeah, right. And I am going to vote for Barack HUSSEIN Obama.
"Two years ago I made a very serious mistake, a mistake that I am responsible for and no one else. In 2006, I told Elizabeth about the mistake, asked her for her forgiveness, asked God for his forgiveness. And we have kept this within our family since that time." - John Edwards in his interview on August 8, 2008.
Another video has been release threatening terrorism with the intent to disrupt the Beijing Olympic Games.
In this video, a previously little known group calling itself the Turkestan Islamic Party claims it carried out several fatal bombings in the country in recent months.
The group's self-described military commander, Seyfullah, said it was responsible for incidents in Shanghai in early May and in the southern city of Kunming on July 21that killed a total of five people.
He also said the group had bombed a plastics factory in the province of Guangdong.
Most ominously, he threatened to carry out further attacks during the Beijing Olympics, which are scheduled to open on tomporrow.
As before, the video begins with Beijing's Olympic logo in flames and with a grainy image of a sports facility superimposed with an animated bomb blast.
Everyone in China needs to be watchful of their surroundings.

Hillary RODHAM Clinton told a gathering of supporters last week that she's looking for a "strategy" for her delegates to have their voices heard and "respected" at the Democratic National Convention -- and did not rule out the possibility of having her name placed into nomination at the convention alongside Sen. Barack HUSSEIN Obama's. The article on ABC News.com can be read here.
Maybe she isn't as much on the BHO bandwagon as people were lead to believe.
"I did what people do when they do the wrong thing." - Hillary RODHAM Clinton
I have always been a fan of James Bond. As a teenager, my mother had copies of original Ian Flemings' paperback James Bond novels. I read all of them and now wish I had kept them when she passed away.
Below is a clip of all the James Bond Gun Barrel Openings. They include all standard James Bond movies up to Casino Royal (2006).
Six actors have played James Bond in the 22 EON Productions of James Bond. "Never Say Never Again" was not an EON movie, but it is included in the clip because it had Sean Connery returning to play 007.
I have listed the six 007s in my order of preference. Please feel free to agree or disagree. The clip is posted below the list.
1. Sean Connery 2. George Lazenby 3. Roger Moore 4. Pierce Brosnan 5. Timothy Dalton 6. Daniel Craig James Bond: Do you expect me to talk? Goldfinger: No Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!
Tropical Storm Edouard is bearing down on the Houston/Galveston area and is expected to make landfall approximately 1:00 PM tomorrow (Tuesday). The skis are now clear in the area and reports from the area are anticipating 3-4 inches of rain with 8 inches of rainfall a possibility. Governor Rick Perry (aka Governor Zoolander) has put state emergency management officials on alert to make sure people, property, and criminal aliens are taken care of. Galveston has not been ordered to evacuate and people are taking a watch and see attitude. IMHO, this is going to be a storm with a great deal of rain, some wind, and numerous newscasters standing in ankle and thigh deep water tell everyone how bad the storm is. People I know in the area are not going to evacuate, but did inform me people are hitting WalMart and loading up on batteries, water, can good, and beer. All this hoopla is much ado about nothing. A storm is coming. It is going to rain. People are going to get some wind. My suggestion is to hunker down, watch television with a loved one, and enjoy Tuesday off from work. More reports will be posted when they occur and if they are needed. "We're not telling anybody to leave and we're not asking anybody to leave. But we are asking citizens and our visitors to pay attention to the weather and use their own judgment. . ." - Galveston Mayor Lyda Ann Thomas
It appears that Tropical Storm Edouard is headed for the upper Texas coast and the Houston area. Clouds and thunderstorms have already entered the Houston/Galveston/Beaumont areas. This would be the first storm to reach the area and it is only August. The National Hurricane Center has the projected track of Edouard hitting the Texas coast sometime tomorrow night. It is unclear whether the storms in the Gulf area are a precursor of TS Edouard, but the rain and cooler temperature will be a welcome relief from the ehat. No matter what happens, the area is going to get hit. Just how seriously the hit will be remains the question. "As of now southeast Texas remains firmly within the storm's crosshairs, and we cannot rule out Edouard becoming a hurricane before landfall -- some might argue that's more likely than not -- on Tuesday." - Eric Berger (SciGuy in the Houston Chronicle)
It has been report by Reuters, in a story by Karolos Grohmann that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on Saturday faced mounting questions over Internet censorship, days before the Beijing Games, despite earlier pledges that its use would be unfettered.
While China has allowed access to some websites that were blocked earlier in the week, many sites still remain inaccessible to reporters covering the Beijing Olympics that start on Aug. 8. On Friday the IOC had said the issue had been resolved.
I expected this kind of mess from the ChiComs, but it seems that the IOC is a enabler by allowing this to happen. They knew the ChiComs would pull this crap and they are allwoing them to do as they please.
Let's see what else comes out of Beijing.
"I wanted no part of politics. And I wasn't in Berlin to compete against any one athlete. The purpose of the Olympics, anyway, was to do your best. As I'd learned long ago from Charles Riley, the only victory that counts is the one over yourself." - Jesse Owens
Barack HUSSEIN Obama's spokesman Hari Sevugan responded sharply to the new McCain webad depicting Obama as a parody of a biblical prophet.
"It’s downright sad that on a day when we learned that 51,000 Americans lost their jobs, a candidate for the presidency is spending all of his time and the powerful platform he has on these sorts of juvenile antics. Senator McCain can keep telling everyone how ‘proud’ he is of these political stunts which even his Republican friends and advisors have called ‘childish’, but Barack Obama will continue talking about his plan to jumpstart our economy by giving working families $1,000 of immediate relief."
JUVENILE ANTICS!
JUVENILE ANTICS!
I call the act of a man writing a prayer on a piece of paper and placing it in Westen Wall and supposely having it stolen as juvenile antics.
Frankly, when all of this started, I got suspicious. No one retrieved McCain's prayer note when he visited there in March. In fact, I can't remember any public figure's prayer being published.
Obama spokesman Bill Burton flatly denied the contention that Obama's prayer, in the form of a note slipped into the Wailing Wall, was "approved for publication."
"That didn't happen," he said in an email. "We have neither confirmed nor denied the prayer to anyone."
This in apparent response to the claim of the publishing newspaper, Ma'ariv, that "Barack Obama's note was approved for publication in the international media" before Obama even arrived at the Wall. What a conniving little weasel BHO is. He did this to gain favor in the Jewish community. Nothing more...nothing less. Is this the kind on man we want in the White House calling the shots. I THINK NOT!!!

I found a very interesting site on the Olympic Games that are being held in Beijing. It is called Beijing Olympics Video.
It is posting interesting videos from Beijing concerning the goings on in Beijing in respect to the Olympics. It is hosted by Tai Shi. Currently he is in England for school and blogs to escape the Chinese sensorship of the internet.
Below is the latest cliptation, posted on Wednesday (July 30, 2008). It gives an interesting perspective on the Games.
