England is struggling with record low temperatures in much of the country. Temperatures over the past few nights plunged to below -10 Celsius. These are some of the coldest temperatures the country has seen in decades. But not to fear, England is bracing for more cold air and plenty of snow. But where are these scientists now saying that the world is getting warmer? No one is talking about how the polar ice caps melting right now. Why do we never hear a word out of them until the seasons change? Are they like bears and hibernate? Where are they?

A 64-year-old man has pleaded no contest to charges in Clark County Circuit Court after telling police he regularly had been using calves for sexual gratification.

Harold G. Hart was placed on two years probation Thursday and ordered to have psychological counseling and an alcohol and drug abuse assessment after pleading to charges of sexual gratification with an animal and disorderly conduct.

According to the criminal complaint, the family living on the farm Hart visited, installed a motion sensor because they had seen suspicious footprints and vehicle tracks.

When the sensor sounded, Hart was caught leaving the barn. He later told police the farm was a routine stop, usually after bar closing or on trips to strip clubs near Marshfield or Neillsville.

Hart told police he had gone to the farm at least 50 times in the last year, sometimes two to four times in a week.

She's not the model niece Osama bin Laden's looking for - but she is modelling.

This is how Wafah Dufour, the al Qaeda leader's niece, will appear in the January 2006 issue of GQ magazine.

Dufour, who took her mother's maiden name after the terrorist attacks in the US on September 11, 2001, is an aspiring musician struggling to make a name for herself.

She says she has never met Osama bin Laden.

"Everyone relates me to that man, and I have nothing to do with him," she said in the article.

"There are 400 other people related to him, but they are all in Saudi Arabia, so nobody's going to get tarred with it.

"I'm the only one here."

President Bush signed the Patriot Act in the East Room of the White House on October 26, 2001. And standing over the President’s shoulder with a smile on his face is Democratic Senate Minority Harry Reid (D-NV). Reid is currently leading efforts in the Senate to block the renewal of the Patriot Act.

After Reid successfully prevented the Patriot Act’s renewal late last week the Senator attended a Democrat political rally and proudly declared, “We killed the Patriot Act.”

How times change when you are on a mission to destroy the presidency.

I saw this headline and almost had to laugh. Well apparently in Afghanistan there was a secret prison called "Dark Prison." Here they were forced to listen to music from Eminem and Dr. Dre. Now there is a human rights group out of New York called Human Rights Watch looking into this horrible form of “torture.” Supposedly prisoners were forced to listen to this music for 20 days before soldiers would replace the music with some scary Halloween music

Human Rights Watch has gathered info from a few detainees at Guantanamo Bay and has filed an official investigation.

If you believe George Bush hates black people you must now believe George Bush hates all people including himself because what Kanye West said can now be proved as being wrong, very wrong.

“Of the 528 bodies recovered from identifiable addresses in city neighborhoods, 230 came from areas that had household incomes above the citywide median of $27,133. The poorer areas accounted for 298 bodies.”

I am just really sick of these African Americans that say they don’t want racism in one breath and then say something like “George Bush hates black people” in another breath.

After hearing something about how the Left wing agenda is dangerously close to the teachings of Karl Marx and his Communist Manifesto, I decided to do some research. I was a bit surprised at some of the findings. Here are some of the points I found that Americans are fighting everyday.

1. Take away private property (Eminent Domain)
2. Heavy progressive income tax (Taking of the rich a higher % than a common person)
3. Take away rights of inheritance (Death Tax)
4. Central Bank (Federal Reserve System)
5. Government ownership of Communication and Transportation
6. Government control of Labor
7. Government control of education (School Vouchers would help correct this problem)

Regardless of your views on these issues, you must admit this is kind of scary. And these are the issues that the majority of Liberals and Democrats support. Democrats = The New Communist? You tell me.

UPDATE: To support what I said I bumped into an interesting poll. I know it is only 153 votes but it's interesting. At the Democratic underground 80% (7:20 PM ET 12/20/05) claim their democratic party is "fascist"

So the 7th time Tour de France Champions has been accused defaming Filippo Simeoni, an Italian cyclist from Italy. Apparently during Armstrong’s last Tour de France, he perused the Italian cyclist during a stage in the tour and repeatedly accused him of using performance-enhancing drugs. Simeoni denied the accusations all while still on his bike. Armstrong seemed to know his stuff, he called Simeoni a liar. “Ferrari was given a 12-month suspended jail sentence in October 2004 for sports fraud and malpractice. He has always denied he dispensed illegal substances to athletes and is appealing the sentence.”

So how is this any worse than trash talking? I have heard worse on a basketball court. Last night if I remember right. Turns out Armstrong was right all along. And a few members of the basketball team I played last night were wrong. They were wrong but I did not take offense to it. I never knew Armstrong said this until Simeoni decides to take Armstrong to court. Armstrong has been accused of taking steroids every year he has won the Tour by pretty much all of France. But he didn’t try suing anyone.

How does bringing this charge help his career? If he would have kept quiet about this I would never have known. But now I do know, I know he did something illegal and I know Lance was right.

So the man on the left is accused of scamming fast food businesses around the Seminole, Florida area. He supposedly would order food and then come back posing as a police officer saying there is hair in his food. Then he would demand a refund. Apparently his rap sheet is as thick as he is. He was charged over 24 times on charges of burglary, drugs and domestic problems. He weighed in at 360 when he was first arrested but now weights a whopping 500 pounds. Man, I would hate to get between him and fast food restaurant. But wait, I am between him and a few thousand restaurants. I am in some troube now.

“…the ability to pursue key tasks in a real-life environment such as an office and an advanced level of physical capabilities. Compared to the previous model, the new ASIMO achieves the enhanced ability to act in sync with people — for example, walking with a person while holding hands.”

Reading between the lines, it seems Honda’s tin man has his beady eyes on both our jobs and our girlfriends

You might not know this but Iraqis voted today! I turned on the TV when I got home. I was only able to watch about 30 minutes of some cable news. I was flipping back between CNN, CNN Headline News, and MSNBC. I turned on FOX and saw about a 5 minute blurb on the issue. Nothing was said about this historic day in Iraq in what I would call the liberal media. Then I got home again from a function and I am listening to the Bengals show on WLW. Well they break in at the top and bottom of the hour with news. Again nothing was said. This is the first time I remember that Iraq has not been in the headlines on the majority of these media outlets. Usually it is the doom and gloom; another car bomb exploded and killed innocent Iraqis and our American soldiers. If you are going to “report” on a story, maybe you should give the whole story. Talk about the good that is coming out of Iraq. Here is what really is going on in Iraq that CNN won’t tell you.

the first battalion of the new Iraqi Army has graduated and is on active duty.

over 60,000 Iraqis now provide security to their fellow citizens.

nearly all of Iraq's 400 courts are functioning.

all 22 universities and 43 technical institutes and colleges are open, as are nearly all primary and secondary schools.

Coalition forces had rehab-ed over 1,500 schools - 500 more than scheduled.

teachers earn from 12 to 25 times their former salaries.

doctors salaries are at least eight times what they were under Saddam.

Iraq has a single, unified currency for the first time in 15 years.

satellite TV dishes are legal.

there are more than 170 newspapers.

foreign journalists (and everyone else) are free to come and go.

Many people associate the Christmas story with peace on earth. But Christmas has nothing to do with peace. Jesus was born during the Pax Romana. As many know the Pax Romana means “the Roman Peace.” During this “Roman Peace,” Rome fought many wars. Also during this time of peace the Romans killed many people, including Christians for entertainment. Many were also hung along the Appian Way. Caesar was a great ruler. He knew just what the people needed; food and entertainment. He gave the people of his land just enough food to get by and plenty of entertainment which resulted in many deaths. When Jesus was born, King Herod ordered the killing of all newly born sons in order to eliminate any local rivals to his power. But please remember this is the Pax Romana. And so Jesus came to this earth to live in the form of man. He lived 33 years when he was killed. Again this is still during the Pax Romana.

So lets zoom to present day. The Holy Land. Nothing has really changed. They are still fighting for this holy land. So really the coming of Jesus just brought more hostility.

God never intended to send Jesus to Earth to bring peace. So the next time this Christmas season you see a card that says something like, “Let there be Peace on Earth,” just know there will never be peace on this Earth, until maybe the next coming of Christ.

As a Republican I believe in capital punishment only if you are convicted of killing someone. Well Tookie Williams of California killed someone. Not just one but four people. And he not only killed people he bragged to his friends that he killed these people. It says in the LA County District Attorney's Response to Petition for Executive Clemency, that Tookie then made "gurgling or growling noises and laughed hysterically about Owens' death." Williams has said he did not commit the murders, but said he hurt many people as leader of the Crisp gang in the Los Angeles area. I would say this is a real nice guy.

While on Death Row, Tookie has written a series of books warning young people against gangs and says he has found redemption. Well that’s good for him. If that is the case he should not be worried about death, because he will go on to a better place, RIGHT? Well many Hollywood Liberals have come to Tookie’s defense. They have a website to save Tookie. And the site has a convenient countdown till my man Tookie is put to death.

Schwarzenegger still has not yet made his decision whether to give this man clemency. I know Arnold is a Hollywood man himself, but do the right thing, uphold what the juries and judges in these past cases have agreed on. Death.
