Remember the story of Sandy Bergler and the missing classified documents? Well, he finally plead guilty to stealing the classified documents. But he and his fans can’t seem to comprehend why we have laws in this country. When the news broke, Bill Clinton, the man who hired this guy to be National Security Advisor laughed. Now wonder the Democrats can’t win an election… they view national security as a joke.

“Berger and his lawyer, Lanny Breuer, have said Berger knowingly removed the handwritten notes by placing them in his jacket and pants…” and “he called the episode an honest mistake…”

Many Democrats, including former President Clinton, suggested politics were behind disclosure of the probe…

or maybe the fact that HE COMMITTED A CRIME…

Were those document important? “The materials related to a 2000 report on how government reacted to the al-Qaida terror threat prior to the millennium celebrations.” After action reports from a massive terror plot just nine months before September 11, 2001. How could those really be important?

So what ever became of those classified national security documents he shoved in his pants? The article says “he returned most of the documents, but some still are missing.”

And that, my friends, is National Security in the Clinton Adminstration.

The ironic thing is that if Robert Byrd had gotten his way years ago, not only would Barack Obama not be serving in the Senate… he wouldn’t be voting or allowed to drink from the same water fountain as Byrd.

This is the man who the young, energetic, black Barack Obama is endorsing:

Robert Byrd was once a member of the Ku Klux Klan, and not just your everyday run-of-the-mill member, he was a “Kleagle”, a recruiter for the KKK

Robert Byrd wrote a letter in 1946 that: “The Ku Klux Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth in West Virginia”

Robert Byrd casually used the phrase “white nigger” twice on national TV in 2001

Robert Byrd filibustered the landmark 1964 Civil Rights Act (sponsored by evil Republicans) for more than 14 hours

Robert Byrd opposed the nominations of the Supreme Court’s two black justices, liberal Thurgood Marshall and conservative Clarence Thomas

…and the man Barack Obama is now raising money for “vowed never to fight “with a Negro by my side. 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, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.”

Obama told The Charleston Gazette on Wednesday, “Sen. Byrd has spent his career in the Senate tanding up for the Constitution and putting principle over politics. The people of West Virginia are lucky to have such a distinguished and powerful advocate fighting for them who consistently delivers results.�

Terri Schiavo died today. Some say “it’s over”, some say “it’s done”. I’m willing to bet it’s just beginning. Those things that went unsaid out of “respect” because she was withering away in a hospice bed will now be unleashed as people stop holding back. The criminal allegations will run rampant. Some questions may finally be answered.

I don’t think this thing is over by a longshot. I think the real fight is only about to begin.

Ian has the video from Fox of the announcement and the Schindler’s Priest calling it a murder. I found the banner scrolling across the bottom of the screen in his screen capture very ironic.

seeBS is in such a hurry to get past the Terri Schiavo coverage and back to manufacturing stories of they’re own, they’ve decided to scoop the world and inform us that Terri Schiavo is already dead. (As of the posting of the article she isn’t)

How nice.

They even included this gem:

She appeared made up and dressed…

Maybe Jayson Blaire faxed them the Death Certificate from Abilene?

CodeBlueBlogs, a multi-award winning blog has laid out the challenge.

He’s offered any neurologist/bioethicist involved in Terri Schiavo’s case who can accurately single out PVS patients from functioning patients with better than 60% accuracy only based on CT scans. He will provide 100 single cuts from 100 different patient’s brain CT’s. The neurologist simply has to pick the patients with PVS accurately 6 out of every 10 times. If the neurologist can be right 6 out of 10 times he wins the $100,000.

Why’s he doing it?

1) It is NOT as bad as the neurologists and bioethicists play it up to be; and,

2) There are many elderly patients with various levels of mental functioning who have severe atrophy that is difficult to distinguish from Terri Schiavo’s atrophy.

He’s putting his money where his mouth is. Any takers?

Wesley Smith: Bill, do you think Terri is a person?

Bill Allen: No, I do not. I think having awareness is an essential criterion for personhood. Even minimal awareness would support some criterion of personhood, but I don’t think complete absence of awareness does.

Behaviorally speaking, there’s little difference between a newborn baby and a 32-week-old fetus. A new wave of research suggests that the fetus can feel, dream, even enjoy The Cat in the Hat.

As if overturning the common conception of infancy weren’t enough, scientists are creating a startling new picture of intelligent life in the womb. Among the revelations:

• By nine weeks, a developing fetus can hiccup and react to loud noises. By the end of the second trimester it can hear.
• Just as adults do, the fetus experiences the rapid eye movement (REM) sleep of dreams.
• The fetus savors its mother’s meals, first picking up the food tastes of a culture in the womb.
• Among other mental feats, the fetus can distinguish between the voice of Mom and that of a stranger, and respond to a familiar story read to it.
• Even a premature baby is aware, feels, responds, and adapts to its environment.

The Bush approval rating leaves me scratching my head. This is the lowest moment of the Bush presidency? Not Abu Ghraib? Not the worst moments of the Iraqi insurgency? Not the time of the Enron scandals, or the post-9/11 business slump? Or does Bush�s low poll numbers reflect that as things seem to be improving in Iraq, it lessens the �we�re at war, we have to rally-around the flag� effect?

“Palliative care* and support for patients with life-threatening illnesses (*care focused on comfort rather than cure)”

He was capable of moving his client’s wife, the subject of the lawsuit, to a facility where he was Chairman of the Board… while the litigation was pending. Given that the nature of the suit dealt with whether or not to provide her rehab or remove her source of life-sustaining nutrients, it seems a blatant conflict of interest for an attorney involved with the case to wield so much power on the outcome of said case.

Freak Michael Jackson continued his pathetic plea this weekend on Racist Jesse Jackson’s show:

Declaring himself “completely innocent” of child molestation charges … he said he believes he is just the latest of several “black luminaries” to be unjustly accused…

“Black luminary”… is that what it’s called? I will give credit to Michael Jackson, though, for proving what a great country America is…

Can you name any other country in the world where a poor black boy can grow up to be a successful, rich, white woman?

Hat tip to Michael for pointing us to an article where an Islamic terror group is claiming responsibility for this week’s explosion at a BP Amoco plant in Texas City.

BP said the cause of the blast was still being investigated, but has ruled out terrorism.

I doubt the claim, but it’s nice to see the terrorists are losing so badly they have to resort to “after-the-fact” claiming of terrorism to keep their hope alive. I wonder what they’ll claim responsibility for next…
