SUE The Bastards!

I read this headline with some amazement. "Passengers Sued Over Imams' Removal" The article goes on to point out the allegedly terrible accounts of the poor Imams as they made a spectacle of themselves while boarding an airplane last fall.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Six Muslim men removed from a plane last fall after being accused of suspicious behavior are suing not only the airline but the passengers who complained—a move some fear could discourage travelers from speaking up when they see something unusual.
The civil rights lawsuit, filed earlier this month, has so alarmed some lawyers that they are offering to defend the unnamed "John Doe" passengers free of charge. They say it is vital that the flying public be able to report suspicious behavior without fear of being dragged into court.

Now, I'm just a simple law talking type attorney guy but it seems to me that the Imam's are getting a pass here. Huh? Yes, a pass...why is it that the passengers are not suing the Imams? That's right, Sue the Bastards! This is America (last time I checked) and this is the way we roll when wronged...sue em! Why shouldn't these men of gawd be responsible for THEIR actions? They appear to have acted intentionally just to scare the wits out of the other passengers. They had a plan and executed it.


So, let's sue em! Just off the top of my tort laden brain I can think of several causes of action..... Negligence, Negligent Infliction of Emotional Distress, Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress, Public Nuisance, Private Nuisance and let's throw in a request for punitive damages as these guys were acting deliberately with malice. That's just for starters. Give me some time to reflect and I might want to add CAIR as a defendant....hmmmm

The "John Doe" defendants do not need to be defended, they need to be represented! I'll take the case on a contingent fee basis...no recovery=no fee.

Giddy-up!

It's Aloha Friday....

.....no work till Monday....

Doo de doo, de doo, de doo ....

Wings game tonite, Pee Wee Football in the morning and a little boating....PRN (as the nurses say!). Have a great weekend.

How Modern Liberal's Think

Here's a link to a YouTube video by Evan Sayet. Who is that, oh great Rumbear. Well, grasshopper, Evan started out as a stand up comedian. He then well, ...... let's go to his website;

Segueing into writing, he was an integral part of the team that made “The Arsenio Hall Show” the first late night program in thirty years to give “The Tonight Show” a run for its money and then the very first Creative Consultant on the highly respected “Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher” (back when Maher was funny)

Bill Maher funny? Whoa, that was a long time ago...but, I digress. So Evan continued on;

The latest twist in Evan’s career came during the recent Presidential elections when he turned his attention and skills towards convincing others of the greatness of America and the need to reelect the President and stay the course in the Middle East. In short time Evan was made Communications Director for Los Angeles for President Bush, wrote a number of articles for major conservative outlets, was asked to offer weekly commentary on KMJ radio (an Infinity station) and began to deliver his lecture “Regurgitating the Apple: How Modern Liberals ‘Think’” to an ever-growing audience.

The video is from a Heritage Foundation gathering. If you do nothing else, listen to the first three-four minutes. It will give you a wonderful analogy that will leave your liberal friends dumbfounded when next ye speak.

Flip....Flop, Flip...Flop

So the great Republican Senator, Chuck Hagel (ed note: Who?) has voted with the Dumbacrats for a withdrawal of troops from Iraq. Senator Joe, "Uh, Define Plagiarism", Biden joined him in this epic decision. Well let's look back to see where these stooges were in oh, say, 2002. Through the wonders of the Internet we can do that....even humble Bears like yours truly from their caves in the wild can do this...so here's what we found.

Although no one doubts our forces will prevail over Saddam Hussein's, key regional leaders confirm what the Foreign Relations Committee emphasized in its Iraq hearings last summer: The most challenging phase will likely be the day after -- or, more accurately, the decade after -- Saddam Hussein.

Once he is gone, expectations are high that coalition forces will remain in large numbers to stabilize Iraq and support a civilian administration. That presence will be necessary for several years, given the vacuum there, which a divided Iraqi opposition will have trouble filling and which some new Iraqi military strongman must not fill. Various experts have testified that as many as 75,000 troops may be necessary, at a cost of up to $ 20 billion a year. That does not include the cost of the war itself, or the effort to rebuild Iraq.

So in 2002 we have these two pillars of virtue admitting:

A). There was a plan or at the very least discussion of the troubles in post victory Iraq in 2001.

B). Ten years of occupation to allow for stabilization of the country was conceded

C). Ongoing troop deployment in Iraq

D). 20 billion a year (not including $100 billion or so in Democrat pork projects).

And now back to the future.

Welcome back, now Cut & Run.

Sheesh.........

Timelines!

Has the British Parliament set a deadline for getting the British Troops out of Iran yet? Apparently a deadline solved the US problems in Iraq.......maybe HRH Pelosi could help our allies with their Iranian problem.

How do you spell ironic?

Bush Protects Senator Feinstein ?

I got this attorney firing thing figured out!

SEN. Dianne Feinstein has resigned from the Military Construction Appropriations subcommittee. As previously and extensively reviewed in these pages, Feinstein was chairperson and ranking member of MILCON for six years, during which time she had a conflict of interest due to her husband Richard C. Blum's ownership of two major defense contractors, who were awarded billions of dollars for military construction projects approved by Feinstein.

Yup,maybe this is why President Bush had the U. S Attorneys fired. They were getting to close to DiFi. Carol Lam, the U. S Attorney in San Diego responsible for putting Ex Congressman Randy "Duke" Cunnigham in the Big House for, well, pretty much the same damn thing was surely on the case. Right? Anyone? Buehler?! Ferris Buehler.....

I can hardly wait to read about this in the Main Stream Media (MSM) crickets...........lot's of crickets.

UPDATE: Michelle's got some more details on this

U. S Attorneys Fired!

Okay, okay a number of you have written and inquired as to the inner thoughts of the Rumbear on the firings of the 8 lackeys formerly known as U. S. Attorneys. Well, my original reaction is not printable, so I will quote our dear friend Ann, (Bonus: I get to use her foto) Bush should say: "We did it, it was political, and there's nothing you can do about it."

It is a non-story folks. Pure spin and a joy to watch from that perspective.

As an aside, I was perusing the paper this morning while enjoying a steaming cup of Costa Rican caffeine and noted that Circuit City is firing 3400 employees because they make to much money. No word on when the Congressional hearing will begin on that matter.

RanDumb Thoughts

Watching the UK - Iran situation unfold I was drawn to a comparison. The UK handling of Iran is quite similar to the way Bush deals with the Democrats. I keep hoping, i.e. praying, that the UK and President Bush will get a backbone (er, spine) and give em what for. However, current history suggests that a warm, slimey cup of compromise and understanding is about to be poured.

Cheers!

UPDATE: March 29, 2007, Apparently I'm not alone with the above thought. "A great power is as great as its credibility. Right now, it’s Britain that’s cratering." Mark Steyn.

UPDATE, UPDATE: Just heard that the UK has now gone to the United Nations for a resolution condemning Iran for it's action. Boy, that'll show them Mullahs what for!!

Jack Bauer definitely loves his daughter; he wouldn't let anyone else who made that many stupid decisions live.

When Jack Bauer ran out of ammo, he caught 3 bullets in his chest and used them to reload.

Thoughts & Prayers

Tests Show Snow's Cancer Has Returned

Good man, tough fight. Say a prayer for him and his family.

Just How Stupid....

do they think the voters are?!!

Here's the headline, "Democrat Proposes Making Withdrawal Date Secret".

A SECRET in Washington! Oh, don't worry, only "Congress, White House and Iraqi Government Would Know Plan"

Somebody hit this clown upside the head with a cluebat. Here's the scoop Senator, it's already a secret. NOBODY knows it! BRILLIANT!

I'm just speechless.........jeeeez......

Armed Senators?!

Deliberate this!

Aide to Senator Webb arrested with a loaded pistol and TWO fully loaded clips in a briefcase that "allegedly" belonged to Webb?!

Folks that's a whole lotta firepower! Maybe those votes have been a little too close of late. Can you even imagine if a republican Senator got caught at this. Oh my God...... they would be ridden out of town on a rail.

Let's watch how the Main Stream Press (MSM) spins this one. Well, uh, Webb was/is a Marine....he knows all about them gun things....move along no story here..

Happy Anniversary!

10 years since the Wings pummeled the Avalanche in an epic game. Lots more detail over a A2Y

Big Surprise! (NOT!)

Well, well, well. This headline should NOT come as a big surprise to anyone...

"Foreclosure Wave Bears Down on Immigrants"

except the banks that loaned the bucks. Who knew that providing loans to illega...er.. UN documented immigrants might be a risk? Who knew that they might not be able to keep up with the payments? Shucks, not us!

Recall the big banking entities started making loans available to "undocumented " immigrants about 1 1/2 to 2 years ago. No social security number required! They cared enough to want to help these folks get a start here in America. They cared enough to stand tall while their motives were questioned. They just wanted to help. If you are/were against this program YOU are a racist, bigoted SOB who just does not want these simple folks to get a foot hold in America.

Recently the Bank of Amigo (America) has begun offering these same "undocumented" immigrants a credit card. No documentation required! Why? Because they care. I give it a year. Then we will have defaults amundo (a little Spanish lingo) in this sector of the credit card portfolio. Again, if you are/were against this program YOU are a racist, bigoted SOB who just does not want these simple folks to get a foot hold in America.

Greed.

So now their housing is being taken away and no doubt the credit cards will soon be in default. Soon they will reach the pinnacle of life in America VICTIMHOOD. Just wait until the Latino groups get wind of this.....It's not fair! Something must be done!

The Rumbear has one question......who is gonna pay for it? That's right those racist, bigoted folks who had the nerve to say ...... "hey, wait a minute"... several years ago. To paraphrase comedian Dennis Miller , I'm a white, Anglo Saxon, male in the USA...I'm everybody's a _ _.

Welcome to America......please do not send me the bill.......

Hey!

Monday's Pun(s) !!

Marie Antoinette said that feeding the peasants was a piece of cake.

The retired track official has started forgetting things. He has old timer's disease.

Ever since Molly moved to Montana she wanted a shiny new kitchen with chrome on the range.

Sing Along!!

It's one, two, three, ... four....... five........ six times your OUT at the ole border game!!! Hey Rumbear, your singing stinks!


Yeah, so does our border enforcement.

Seems that internal documents from the Justice Department show that illegals can cross the border up to six times before they are prosecuted. N I C E !, as Borat would say.

Documents released in the controversy about eight fired U.S. attorneys show that federal prosecutors in Texas generally have declined to bring criminal charges against illegal immigrants caught crossing the border — until at least their sixth arrest.

However, those same overworked US Attorneys will make time to prosecute two Border Patrol agents that shot a drug smuggler who was believed to be armed.

(FREE Ramos & Compeon!)

Maybe it was only the drug smuggler's third or fourth time getting caught.......

It's Aloha Friday....

.....no work till Monday....
