Pelosi: Mistress of Evil

Here is the Mistress of Darkness herself -- with her mentor, Bashar Assad. Remember, this is the same dude that orchestrated the assassination of numerous Lebanese officials and public figures (remember Hariri's death). This is the guy that allows Iran to funnel weapons and support to Hezbollah. This is the President-for-life of an absolute dictatorship, committed to the destruction of Israel, the training of terrorists and with a horrible record of human rights violations. Assad also has been instrumental in the support of the Sunni branch of Iraqi insurgency.

Pelosi claims (with her Congressional delegation) that she is on a "fact finding mission," but let's be clear: this is partisan politics pure and simple. She is #3 on the rung of power, if Boosh and his evil henchman were to croak. So she cannot simply represent an individual Congresswoman out on a junket.

The Arab world will hear something very different: their arch enemy is divided, so take heart in the struggle to thwart democracy and modern civilization. If Pelosi understands this and still continues with her "mission" (who the hell sent her?), then she is actively working for the enemy and functionally a traitor. If she doesn't understand what she is doing, then she is too stupid for her position and should be removed. Flying 757s to commute home is one thing, but to actively undermine our military mission -- and hence our sons and daughters in uniform -- is unconscionable. If fact finding was indeed necessary, send some flunkies on the DNC staff -- do NOT lend authority and credibility to America's enemies.

On the same region of the world, have you noticed that the hostages in Iran have been abandoned by: (1) the UN -- they were executing a UN mandate to inspect shipping to prevent the smuggling of oil and weapons, so they are really in Iranian captivity as a result of a UN directive; and (2) the EU -- so much for a common EU front for its citizens, as true to form the Germans and French are working the end run for commercial reasons and to thwart the perceived Anglo-American alliance for their own ends. ISn't the EU supposed to take care of things relating to the creation of a greater whole? Wouldn't support for the citizen of a member state (nation?) serve to cement the bonds that are meant to tie?

Local News:
Mayor Mumbles is stumbling all over himself in the face of a crime and murder wave of epic proportions. Lawlessness is the rule in areas of Dorchester and Matapan and yet Mumbles claims there is no problem, "30% more guns have been taken off of the street as compared to last year...." Yeah. But murder is up 60%, so who cares ... it might just be that there are 100% more guns out there than last year and a gun by itself does not commit a crime, people do.

So the Guardian Angels have come up from NYC to protect us. First the police and Mayor freak out at the vigilantes on the street -- but as the public point out, any help is welcome as the administration and police seem to be singularly incapable of their jobs: protecting us.

Devoid the Idiot Patrick suggested that all of us should tell the baggy pants crowd to pull them up and start behaving themselves. Yeah. Great idea that. You first, Mr. Governor.
