********************************** Rosie Rips Willie "(Bill Clinton) disgusts me. And I know I'm not supposed to say this because I'm a good Democrat, but I didn't want to (talk) to him because he lied to me when he said 'I did not have sexual relations with that woman,' and then put the scarlet letter...on her for the rest of her life. . . . I still hate you." - Gun-grabber blabber-mouth Rosie O'Donnell explaining why she refused to speak with the former president last weekend ******************************* The More the Merrier If you know someone who might like to join conservatives and libertarians who receive our FREE Chuck Muth's News & Views briefings, just go to http://www.chuckmuth.com/newsletter/ for quick, easy subscription processing. ********************************** Houston, We've Found the Problem "Every time liberals try to rehabilitate the state, public employees manage to demonstrate in some incredibly dramatic or bone-headed way that they are part of the problem rather than the solution." - ACU Chairman David Keene, The Hill, 6/26/02 ********************************** One Nation, Under Daschle... "Republicans say it's time for the American people to wake up and shake up their elected representatives, on behalf of President Bush's judicial nominees. The National Republican Congressional Committee reminds the party faithful that, 'Liberal Democrat Tom Daschle and Senate Democrats are holding up 45 of President Bush's judicial nominees who would serve as a counterweight' to the 'type of nonsense' issuing from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. Wednesday's ruling declaring the Pledge of Allegiance 'illegal' shows why it is so important for the Senate to move on President Bush's judicial nominees, the NRCC said." - CNSNews.com, 6/27/02 ********************************** New & Improved Pledge Nevada Republican Liberty Caucus Chairman George Harris is getting into the game of changing the words to the Pledge of Allegiance. His suggestion: "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the REPUBLICANS WHO MAKE IT STAND, one nation, under God." Gotta nice ring to it, don't ya think? ********************************** Simon Takes Three Steps Forward... "California GOP gubernatorial nominee Bill Simon has announced the appointment of three well-known Republican campaign veterans to his staff. "Joining the campaign are Ed Rollins, who managed Ronald Reagan's 49-state landslide re-election campaign in 1984; Lyn Nofziger, who was with Reagan at the beginning of his political career in 1976; and John Peschong, former executive director of the state GOP and a former Republican National Committee regional political director. "Peschong will oversee the day-to-day operations of the campaign while Rollins and Nofziger will provide strategic and communications advice to Simon in his underdog bid to oust Democrat Gov. Gray Davis." - UPI's "Capital Comment," 6/26/02 ********************************** ...And Two Steps Back "An increasingly nasty brawl in the California GOP is quickly spinning into a public embarrassment that some Republicans say threatens the party's biggest goal -- electing businessman Bill Simon governor. "The troubles involve state party chairman Shawn Steel and conservative backers who have focused their wrath on influential presidential adviser Gerald Parsky -- architect of a Republican reorganization designed to help the state GOP better appeal to moderates, women and Latinos. "The battle against Parsky's influence has, in recent weeks, intensified with a series of anonymous 'Parskywatch' e-mail messages to Republicans all over the state, lambasting the Bush friend on everything from his fund raising to his taste in basketball teams. ".'This is a classic GOP circular firing squad,' says Dick Rosengarten, publisher of the political newsletter Calpeek, which has run polls of his political junkie readers to guess who is behind the e-mail campaign. 'It's about who controls power within the California Republican Party.'" - San Francisco Chronicle, 6/25/02 ********************************** Pill-Poppin' Relief Columnist Rich Lowry is a little torqued at Democrats and well-off senior citizens for trying to get Uncle Sam to cough up a whopping new entitlement program subsidizing prescription drugs. Lowry notes that "Americans age 65 and over spend, on average, about $700 a year on prescription drugs," which they now want Congress to force taxpayers to pay for. "Seniors, on average, spend $1,200 a year on dining out," writes Lowry. "The elderly could save so much on 'blue plate' specials if only the government paid the tab." Hey, don't give the Democrats any ideas. Lowry contends that only 10 to 15 percent of senior citizens can't afford their own prescription drug coverage, and that those folks should be covered under a new Medicare benefit . . . but ONLY is drastic Medicare reform itself is included. But Democrats aren't likely to sign off on such a plan, "So, the health of everyone might suffer because Democrats want to pander to the elderly. Would that someone in Washington had the courage to say to comfortable seniors, 'Granny, pay for your own damn drugs.'" Don't hold your breath waiting. ********************************** Kids Games One of our readers recently sent me a note asking if I'd heard anything about efforts to ban the kids' game "Tag." In fact, I have. Patrick Hruby wrote about the PC attacks on all kinds of kids' games in a Washington Times story back in May. Here are some highlights (or low-lights, rather) about games these goofballs think should be banned from the playground. TAG is out because it favors "fast children over slower ones; creates potential for inappropriate touching and/or sexual harassment; (plus) designation of one child as 'it' ostracizes said child from the overall group and may result in long-term feelings of shame and embarrassment." Instead of tag, the wingnuts suggest playing "Shake," where "children chase each other in order to shake hands and exchange pleasantries" and no one is "it." DODGE BALL is a no-no because it's "too violent, too exclusionary, too, well, NASTY." Neil Williams, the bozo who's leading an effort to ban dodge ball from schools says, "It's like giving each of the kids a hammer in shop class, having them put their hands on the table, then seeing if you can slam a kid's hand with the hammer before he can get out of the way." No it's not. Not even close. But wouldn't you like to see someone smash Williams' hand with a hammer, though? HIDE-N-SEEK's gotta go say opponents because it, "Forces children to 'hide' from others, undercutting self-esteem (and) discriminates against obese children, who are less likely to find adequate hiding places." Gimme a break. The PC'ers suggest "Wave-n-Smile" instead. In this stupid game, "one child closes his or her eyes and counts to 10; the others scatter around the field of play. When the child opens his or her eyes, the other children wave and smile from their positions." Oh, yeah. That sounds like a LOT more fun. And finally, MUSICAL CHAIRS gets the old heave-ho. You see, it's "inappropriate for deaf children;" the "musical accompaniment (is) potentially ethnocentric," and "children who are eliminated may feel 'left out' or consider themselves 'losers.'" No, the losers are the idiots who suggest that instead of musical chairs, kids play "Special Chairs," where "children sit on chairs that are arranged in a circle" and the "instructor tells each child one-by-one that they are a 'special, special person.'" I think I'm gonna go toss my cookies. Is that a game? ********************************* Long Savings on Long Distance!
