statement by george w. bushsometimes keeping a blog is great. for instance, occasionally we can get a pretty good idea of what kind of stories kalb and the town talk are working on because of the way they arrive here usually via google.
then, there are other times, like late thursday night when we noticed a couple of local googlers searching "jimmy chevalier died."
we only met mr. chevalier once, some years back. he helped us out with something when he didnt have to and we always remembered him and was appreciative of him for that. mr. chevalier would have been our choice for alexandria city marshall. although, it wasnt until just a few days ago, when we viewed the cenla light's 2008 election guide that we realized that the city marshall candidate was the same jimmy chevalier
if mr. chevalier was your family member or friend we are very sorry for your loss.
bbc excerpt:A Swiss man has become the first person to fly solo across the English Channel using a single jet-propelled wing.
Yves Rossy landed safely after the 22-mile (35.4 km) flight from Calais to Dover, which had been twice postponed this week because of bad weather.
The former military pilot took less than 10 minutes to complete the crossing and parachute to the ground.
The 49-year-old flew on a plane to more than 8,200ft (2,500m), ignited jets on a wing on his back, and jumped out. ~ read more
Worried that welfare costs are rising as the number of taxpayers declines, state Rep. John LaBruzzo, R-Metairie, said Tuesday he is studying a plan to pay poor women $1,000 to have their Fallopian tubes tied.
"We're on a train headed to the future and there's a bridge out," LaBruzzo said of what he suspects are dangerous demographic trends. "And nobody wants to talk about it."
LaBruzzo said he worries that people receiving government aid such as food stamps and publicly subsidized housing are reproducing at a faster rate than more affluent, better-educated people who presumably pay more tax revenue to the government. He said he is gathering statistics now. ~ read more
hurricane gustav evacuees [video here]#6 "we support all developments in biomedical research and technology that enhance and protect human life. but we oppose any new development that does not treat all human life as a precious gift of god, or that does not treat every individual human life as a locus of unique and irreplaceable dignity no matter how weak, immature, or dependent." click here to download the 2008 louisiana republican party platform. [eight page .pdf]the 2008 national republican party platform calls for the repeal of the sixteenth amendment, which established the federal income tax. [.pdf page 31] why isnt representative labruzzo and the rest of the republicans as well as everyone else talking about that? think of how much more money everyone would have on hand and could even save some, if there was no federal income tax. caveat: the republicans want to repeal the sixteenth amendment and replace it with an equally egregious national sales tax or even worse value added tax.
this is an interesting clip that rachel maddow played on her msnbc show last night [thursday 26 september 2008] concerning alaska governor and 2008 republican vice-presidential candidate sarah palin and a religious service she attended at a church in alaska in october 2005.
its easy to see what the so called african witch-hunter preacher thomas muthee [here is his zionist approved wikipedia entry]. was on about. although, his use of the term "israelite" is incorrect. the term that pastor muthee should have used was khazar or ashkenazi seeing that it is they who are "running the economics of our nations," via their central banks and so forth and who are descendants of the khazar savages who, due to political expediency, converted to and have been masquerading as and impersonating the biblical israelites since the 700s a.d. these khazar's who are originally from khazaria, (located in modern day russia) are in no way related to the biblical israelites. these imposters have however, taken over the true name of the jews.
anyway, you wont see the msm playing this clip over and over ad nauseum like the rev. jeremiah wright clip because it might make people stop and think. what christian or normal thinking person could disagree with the substance of what pastor muthee is saying?
its likely that this clip was played to send a message to gov. palin and the mccain campaign that they had better get (palin} fully in agreement with the policies of the zionists and especially those of zionist israel.
this would appear to be unnecessary in light of gov. palin's recent statements such as 'israel is the 'good guy'' or her statement to israeli president, shimon peres "the only flag at my office is an israeli flag." no alaskan flag? or united states flag in the governor's office? how pathetic is that.
governor palin's rabid zionism has already caused brother nathanael kapner, himself a jew who converted to orthodox christainity, to observe on his real jew news blog that "governor sarah palin is quickly, lamentably, emerging as a resolute and dangerous zionist shill (or dupe) — if not an outright rabid war monger pushing for ww iii." ~ read more.
perhaps, what the zionists really want, is for gov. palin to repudiate pastor muthee in order to show that once again any mention of or connection to "bankers" and "israelites" which will bring to mind "jews" in most peoples minds, will be met with fierce condemnation.
To the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President pro tempore of the Senate:
As economists, we want to express to Congress our great concern for the plan proposed by Treasury Secretary Paulson to deal with the financial crisis. We are well aware of the difficulty of the current financial situation and we agree with the need for bold action to ensure that the financial system continues to function. We see three fatal pitfalls in the currently proposed plan:
1) Its fairness. The plan is a subsidy to investors at taxpayers’ expense. Investors who took risks to earn profits must also bear the losses. Not every business failure carries systemic risk. The government can ensure a well-functioning financial industry, able to make new loans to creditworthy borrowers, without bailing out particular investors and institutions whose choices proved unwise.
2) Its ambiguity. Neither the mission of the new agency nor its oversight are clear. If taxpayers are to buy illiquid and opaque assets from troubled sellers, the terms, occasions, and methods of such purchases must be crystal clear ahead of time and carefully monitored afterwards.
3) Its long-term effects. If the plan is enacted, its effects will be with us for a generation. For all their recent troubles, America's dynamic and innovative private capital markets have brought the nation unparalleled prosperity. Fundamentally weakening those markets in order to calm short-run disruptions is desperately short-sighted.
For these reasons we ask Congress not to rush, to hold appropriate hearings, and to carefully consider the right course of action, and to wisely determine the future of the financial industry and the U.S. economy for years to come.

cnn's john king speaks with a boulder, montana cattle farmer, who according to mr. king says that when he listens to the president talk he doesnt believe him and who makes a very wise observation. he said "i was born during the days of fdr, fdr said that we have nothing to fear but fear -- well this is exactly the opposite, they are preying on our fears -- 'if we dont bail them out, the rest of you are going to go down the tubes and we'll have another depression' and i dont like the idea of this fear tactics. who knows what its going to do to us? we dont know. they may understand that and thats where fear comes in."

excerpt:Bill White seeks to create a situation that the Congress, court system, and Zio-American entity need in order to force through legislation designed to do one thing, shut down dissent. ZOG needs to do something and quickly, the economy is reeling and International Jewry expects a backlash, thus they need to figure out a way to introduce and pass legislation that will shut up bloggers like me.
Enter Bill White, he publishes the above magazine, with its provocative cover, and writes an article that accompanies it in which he says, "White people must deny him the presidency, as a radical he admires might say, "by any means necessary," which was meant to be inflammatory.
Why does Bill White do this? I'll tell you why, just today, less than a week after writing the above statement, Bill White tells us that some dumb bastard was arrested outside of Barack Obama's house, with a gun, bulletproof vest, and guess what else he had in his possession? You got it, ANSWP [American National Socialist Workers Party] literature.
The ANSWP is in reality a non-existent American Nazi party with approximately 6 members from coast to coast, most of whom are as Jewish as Bill White, with the mission of making Whites look as racist as possible and giving ZOG the excuses it needs to force through hate speech legislation, which it wants to do even more badly than it wants to grab your guns, which by the way is a close second. ~ read more

katrina mary's career total of zionist payola that she has received: $155,179
this should help explain why katrina mary always votes the way she does.
according to the same report, (see link) other louisiana legislators who are on the israeli/zionist payroll are:
senator david vitter: career total: $38,000
congressman charlie melancon career total: $29,100
congressman rodney alexander career total: $11,000

a couple of days ago it was reported that la-06 congressman don cazayoux had voted to give his fellow congressman charles b. rangel an "ethics pass" by his yea vote to table h. res 1460.
according to house roll call vote #609 of thursday, 18 september 2008, congressman cazayoux was joined in voting yea to table the resolution by his fellow louisiana congressmen william jefferson and charlie melancon.
other interesting yea votes to table h. res. 1460 from the republican side of the aisle were those cast by ron paul, wayne gilchrest, walter jones, james ramstad and dana rohrabacher.
h.res. 1460 was filed on thursday. the text was unavailable online that day and friday because, according to the library of congress, (thomas.loc.gov) it hadnt been sent to them from the government printing office. so it was saturday before we could read the actual text. in the meantime, the only information that they had was the name of the sponsor, :that creepy, sack of ohio rethuglican dung, john boehner.
congressman boehner you might recall is a suspected alcoholic (and serial tanning bed abuser) who on more than one occasion has made incoherent speeches from the house floor in which he famously weeps over the iraq war see boehner weeps & boehner weeps again, a war which he enthusiastically supports. so as far as we're concerned, congressman boehner is just as big a criminal as he would have us believe that congressman rangel is.
just yesterday (sunday 21 september 2008) congressman boehner said on abc's "this week" program that 'treasury's bailout package should help only wall street, not main street.'
anyway, back to congressman cazayuox. how could congressman cazayoux in good conscience and coming from the most corrupt state in the nation, vote to table this resolution? furthermore, what is especially egregious about congressman cazayoux's vote to table h. res.1460 is that he claims that he was a prosecutor in pointe coupee parish -- although apparently not a very good one -- despite his campaign websites' insistence that he never lost a jury trial (notice that they dont tell you just how many jury trials that he actually had) -- hence his desperation to become a career politician.
we dont support "dr." bill cassidy for congress either. cassidy's support of lake charles democrat willie landry mount's sb312 the louisiana mandatory drinking water fluoridation bill, is all the evidence you need to understand that cassidy is a quack and is unfit to hold any office of public trust including his present office of louisiana state senator.
"dr." cassidy's dangerous quackiness, incompetence and corruption should be glaringly apparent especially in light of the actions taken by tennessee state representative joey hensley. representative hensley also a medical doctor and also a republican, spoke out against and stopped efforts to fluoridate tennesse's drinking water.
see also 50 reasons to oppose fluoridation by paul connett, phd. professor of chemistry, st. lawrence university, canton, new york. and the sb312 label in the footer of his post.
according to the louisiana secretary of state elections website, there is an independent running for congress from louisiana's sixth district - louisiana state representative michael jackson. this is who residents of the sixth congressional district should vote for.
HRES 1460 LTH
Mr. BOEHNER submitted the following resolution; which was laid on the table
Whereas the gentleman from New York, Charles B. Rangel, serves as chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, a position of considerable power and influence within the House of Representatives;
Whereas the Committee on Ways and Means has jurisdiction over the United States Tax Code;
Whereas The New York Times reported on September 5, 2008, that, `Representative Charles B. Rangel has earned more than $75,000 in rental income from a villa he has owned in the Dominican Republic since 1988, but never reported it on his Federal or State tax returns, according to a lawyer for the congressman and documents from the resort';
Whereas in an article in the September 5, 2008, edition of The New York Times, his attorney confirmed that Representative Rangel's annual congressional Financial Disclosure statements failed to disclose the rental income from his resort villa;
Whereas The New York Times reported on September 6, 2008, that, `Representative Charles B. Rangel paid no interest for more than a decade on a mortgage extended to him to buy a villa at a beachfront resort in the Dominican Republic, according to Mr. Rangel's lawyer and records from the resort. The loan, which was extended to Mr. Rangel in 1988, was originally to be paid back over seven years at a rate of 10.5 percent. But within two years, interest on the loan was waived for Mr. Rangel.';
Whereas clause 5(a)(2)(A) of Rule 25 of the Rules of the House defines a gift as, `* * * a gratuity, favor, discount, entertainment, hospitality, loan, forbearance, or other item having monetary value' and prohibits the acceptance of such gifts except in limited circumstances;
Whereas Representative Rangel's acceptance of thousands of dollars in interest forgiveness is a violation of the House gift ban;
Whereas Representative Rangel's failure to disclose the aforementioned gifts and income on his Personal Financial Disclosure Statements violates House rules and Federal law;
Whereas Roll Call newspaper reported on September 15, 2008, that, `The inconsistent reports are among myriad errors, discrepancies and unexplained entries on Rangel's personal disclosure forms over the past eight years that make it almost impossible to get a clear picture of the Ways and Means chairman's financial dealings.';
Whereas Representative Rangel's failure to report the aforementioned gifts and income on Federal, State and local tax returns is a violation of the tax laws of those jurisdictions;
Whereas disclosure of these improper acts follows an announcement on July 31, 2008, by the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct that it is reviewing unrelated allegations that Representative Rangel has violated House gift rules, financial disclosure regulations and rules barring the use of official resources to solicit funds for private ventures;
Whereas an editorial in The New York Times on September 15, 2008, stated, `Mounting embarrassment for taxpayers and Congress makes it imperative that Representative Charles Rangel step aside as chairman of the Ways and Means Committee while his ethical problems are investigated.';
Whereas clause 1 of rule XXXIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives provides, `A Member, Delegate, Resident Commission, officer, or employee of the House shall conduct himself at all times in a manner that shall reflect creditably on the House'; and
Whereas on May 24, 2006, Speaker Nancy Pelosi cited `high ethical standards' in a letter to Representative William Jefferson asking that he resign his seat on the Committee on Ways and Means in light of ongoing investigations into alleged financial impropriety by Representative Jefferson: Now, therefore, be it
if this 19 september 2008 piece 'joe biden loses barack obama the catholic vote (see link) by gerald warner in the london daily telegraph is to be believed, it seems that some catholic bishops are angry with senator and 2008 democratic party vice presidential candidate joe biden due to his "pro-abortion views."
some of the bishops mentioned in the story include:most reverend charles j. chaput, archbishop of denver;
joseph f. martino the bishop of scranton,pennsylvania;
most reverend robert w. finn, bishop of kansas city - st. joseph;
and the united states conference of catholic bishops
the bishop's say that communion [the holy eucharist] should be denied to senator biden and other pro-abortion politicians "until they have reformed their lives."
mr. warner writes:On NBC's Meet the Press programme on September 7 Biden grossly misrepresented the Catholic Church's teaching on abortion and audaciously cited St Thomas Aquinas in his own cause. [meet the press transcript page - 4] [full transcript]
but why should we take these bishop's and their proclamations seriously? when here in louisiana, we see our own style of a pretend catholic politician in piyush "bobby" jindal who goes to the catholic church on saturday night to pray to mary and other dead people called saints and to confess his sins to and ask forgiveness from them by his priest and then on sunday mornings rushes over to baptist and other protestant churches to proclaim "hey guys, i'am one of you too!"
That did it. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had already done the same thing on the same programme, in her instance citing St Augustine. Even the torpid US bishops could not have false doctrine glibly broadcast by public figures, misleading their flock. [emphasis added]
surely the bishop's know that you cant be a catholic and a protestant at the same time just like no person can serve two masters at once. as far as we've been able to tell we cant find not one instance of any catholic priest, bishop, cardinal or even the pope condemning or criticizing piyush "bobby" jindal's religious fraud.
even after on 10 july 2007 it was reported that pope benedict xvi issued a decree stating that the catholic church is the one true church and that other denominations are defective and are not true churches, this was at the height of the 2007 louisiana gubernatorial campaign and yet piyush to this day continues to visit protestant churches to proclaim his oneness with them. how can an authentic catholic visit churches that his pope has proclaimed to be defective and not a true church to say that he is one of them and how can any authentic church leader catholic or protestant allow this to continue without speaking out?
is the catholic church hierarchys' silence in the piyush religious fraud matter evidence that they secretly agree with his activities? is this part of [rhodes scholar] piyush "bobby" jindal's mission to help blur the lines of doctrinal distinction between catholic and protestant so that the protestant churches can someday soon be more easily reunited to and merged with the holy mother roman catholic church?
until the catholic church speaks out about the piyush religious fraud then we should consider that the catholic church is actually ran by criminals, liars and scam artists. we should wonder what the real reason is, that they are choosing to speak out against senator biden and other catholic politicians.
if the catholic church was actually ran by honest, respectable men who were interested in protecting and preserving catholic doctrine then they would in fact criticize senator biden's statements that he is a zionist which indicates that senator biden actually worships israel, zionist jews and the babylonian talmud.
